The 200-pound mirror was made by William Pitt of Kansas City. For years Mr. Pitt has been an amateur automer and interested in the department of glass, where he works. He has acquired a skill in making mirrors, lenses, and optical flats possessed by few professionals in such work. The first large disk of Pyrex ever made (the same kind of glass now available at the National Museum in California) was east to order.
Mr. Pitt had a large machine built for grinding, polishing and figuring the mirror. For nearly a year the grinding and polishing went on. As a result, the finest possible mirror shaped to within inch of the exact uraboidal was produced.
All but two of the heavy castings were machined in the University shop. An electric motor driving the three tons of moving parts, is connected to a clock which holds its rate of movement constant to the fraction of a second per

Sooner Swimmer's Speed Record Known Only By Davy Jones
Norman, Nov. 21.-Jack Davis, Ohioa's Big Six conference champion swimmer; who has paddled more than 65,000 miles to the coming conference meet at Lincoln, Neb. in March, swam the fastest of his life today and yet can't prove it.
NUMBER 50
With Brice Drake, young physical education instructor, holding the stop watch on him, Jeek churred his first breath and struck him with his Big Six record. "Two thirty-five!" Drake called to him, and Davis, still ungrilling, surmired the last 40 vardons.
At the finish mark Davis, wet and pinned, raised an animated face. "What did I get?" he asked Drake. "Was it under the record?"
And then Drake shepherdily had to confess that he'd accidently dropped the stop watch in the pool after telling him his time for the first half of the race.
Faculty Makes Minor Changes in 30 Courses

Campus Problems Trophy Awarded To Robert Thorpe
Present Plan of Physical Training Criticized in Prize Winning Oration
More than 150 persons gathered in Fraser theater to hear the eight contestants comment on campus problems. The student speakers held the attention of their audience well, and created an atmosphere in the problems they discussed.
First place in the tenth annual Campus Problems speaking contest was awarded last night to Robert M. Thorpe, a sophomore in the college, from Wichita, for his speech on "Physical Training." Second place was won by Roland Welborn, c36, Ozwkie, who spoke on the activity telephone, and third place was Caroline Cairns, c37, of Maryville. The subject of his talk was extra-curricular activities.
Lyman Field, c26, student chairman for the contest, was introduced by E. C. Buchler, associate professor of speech and drama arts and varaty debate coach. Field was a contestant in the contest last year and has won numerous awards in the rigorous speaking both at the University and in the Missouri Valley. In his introductory remarks, he emphasized that the contest was a significant thing because of its long record and the opportunity it gave students not otherwise engaged in forensics to speak their views before an audience. He also was originated by Professor Buchler en years ago.
Exercise Program Needed
In his winning speech, Thorpe criticized the present plan of providing physical training to the men of the University, and advocated a program that would provide proper exercise through competitive sports. He pointed out that mind and body are inextricably bound up, and that a sound body was essential to a properly functioning mind.
"There does exist a real need for a program where every man may be taught how to care for his body," Thorpe said in conclusion.
Walborn in his attack on the activity ticket bitterly denounced the compulsory feature of the ticket, and pointed out that it worked on self-supporting students but not those that these students are not only unable to afford the ticket, but in many cases cannot make use of it. He also stated that the working students did not pay their tuition and were sorting that they had little faith in either student or faculty government.
Activities Over-Emphasized Robertson in speaking of extra-curricular activities were being over-emphasized to the detriment of the students' cultural enlargement. To illustrate his point he quoted from prominent actives men he had interviewed on the campus. He closed his talk with a pica for a moderation about male activities and the establishment of a more scholarly tradition at Kansas.
A More Tolerant Attitude Needed William Coke, c38, made a dramatic appeal for a more tolerant attitude toward the race problem. He stated that more understanding of the negro and his problem has been shown in recent years, and asked for more progress to be made attitude toward the members of his race.
Joe Ivy, 157, criticized the results obtained by modern colleges and universities, basing his statements on data taken from the college report. He stated that in his opinion the blind faith the public has in college educa- tion was wrong, and showed from his report how little students really learn in college.
Criticizes Kansan Policies
A talk entitled "Duck Soup" by Charles Anderson, 136, was a fictitious criticism of the advisory system used in enrolling, and of the system of requiring students to fill groups before being admitted. Larry T36, made a vigorous assault on his criticism was directed toward the printing of what he termed stale news and a weak editorial policy. "The Kansan has just about as much force as the Czechs," he said, and about as much policy as one of Gertrude Siem's poems." he said.
Glenn Austin, c35, criticized the recent suppression in several universities of student civil rights because of their political activities. He characterized such actions as manifestations of fascism and urged the students to fight
