Three guide posts for the purpose of future development of Kansas State College were laid down by Dr. F. D. Farrell, president, in a talk made to more than 600 members of the senior class, alumni, and friends of the college at the annual alumni-senior banquet held Wednesday in Manhattans
President Farrell's guides, enumerated as "simple, fundamental principles" for use in the 20-year plan that college is preparing, were: Continued fidelity to the mission of the college; increased concentration of efforts; and increased liberalization.
Alumni from both coasts attended the banquet that had as other speakers: H. C. Rushmore, Kansas City, member of the graduating class of 1879; C. M.

The Mount Hope Observatory. Doctor Alter explained, has as its largest instrument a the 100-inch telescope, the greatest in the world.
University Has Notable Instrument 95 Per Cent Completed
"The completion of the reflector here," Doctor Alter continued, "has been held up in its final stages because of the lack of a few hundred dollars. The most important contribution to this instrument was by William Pitt, of Kansas City, who did most of the work of making the mirror, a job which he would do as well as a professional could have. Now all of the cattails were made in the shops on the land and the machine work was all done by students. The cost of the telescope was about a quarter of what it would have been on contract."
In his concluding program over KFKU, yesterday, Dr. Dinnore Alter of the astronomy department discussed the world's largest astronomical observatories. He stated that the largest is the Mount Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie Institute near Pasadena, Calif., and that its facilities in staff and instruments are nearly double those of any other in the world.
"The glass in the mirror," he said, "is about a foot and a half thick and the surface has been ground and polished to the millionth of an inch of what is desired. The telescope is used principally to photograph faint stars, nebulae, and other galaxies, and the spectra of each of these classes of objects. The second instrument of this system is likely other for years was the world's largest telescope. There are also two tower telescopes, especially designed to study the sun and a host of smaller and auxiliary instruments."
In discussing the observatory here at the University Professor Alter said: "At present, we have here a 27-inch reflector which is 95 per cent completed. When it becomes possible to complete it, the Hill observatory will take a place well up with other states and far in the lead of its neighbors."
The United States, he said further, leads the world in the number and size of observatories, and only one of them is under construction by taxes, the others were built by gifts.
At this point Professor Alter digressed to explain the types of telescopes. He said that a refractory telescope has a lens made by two or more pieces of glass to gather light and to form an image. In contrast, a refractive lens possesses certain inherent defects in color focusing, it is necessary to make a refracting telescope of long focal length. The length of the telescope is almost always between 14 and 17 times the diameter of the objective ens.

He continued his explanation by noting that in a reflecting telescope, a concave mirror is substituted for the lens. This mirror, he said, is metallic, coated on its front surface, so that no light enters the glass. This type of telescope
Doctor Alter listed the large observatories in order of their size as follows: Mount Wilson, at Pasadena; Vancouver, Canada, with a 72-inch reflecting telescope; Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., with a 40-inch refractor, the largest in the world, and a 24-inch reflector; Lick observatory on Mount Hamilton near Berkeley, Calif., with a 36-inch refractor and a 36-inch reflector; a number of small observatories, including Cambridge, Mass.; and a station in Southington, CT, tax-built observatory is the one under the Navy department at Washington, which has a 26-inch refractor and a 40-inch reflector of the new type.
Professor Alter told a of 200-inch reflector being built by the California Institute of Technology at a cost of approximately $10,000,000, and he noted that it would probably not be long until we will have 300-inch, 500-inch and even larger telescopes.
Mr. Alter said in conclusion that if business men would plan their work with the care exercised by astronomers, there would be very few business failures. Astronomers, he said, work out their plans years in advance.
BILL TO BRING JITNEY PLAYERS HERE APPROVED BY W. S. G. A
The W. S. G. A. approved the proposal to bring the Jitney players here as a part of the Activity ticket program for next year at its meeting Monday. By this proposal the activity ticket will provide $150, when added to the hold by the Dramatic department will be sufficient to bring the players here.
The W. S. G. A. also recommended the plan whereby next year's activity ticket would include a free party the first semester and would defray the expenses of Parent's Day which are now borne by the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council.

Columbia, Mo., June 1—(UP) - The often-jeered and little appreciated University of Missouri Cedet Band has a history that could be duplicated by only a few such university organizations in the United States, but its outstanding achievement, according to George Venable, director, was its popularization of good music at "the Athens of Missouri."
Old Gold Bought
The ear of the 1911 student was attuned to ragtime, Venable said. He arrived at the university in 1910 and it was not until many years later that he lived down the sobriquet thrust upon him by indignant students.

Director George Venable Teachers
Tigers to Like Good Music
Venable's campaign to create a desire for good music at the university has borne fruit. Today he receives many requests and suggestions for his concert programs. Demands for Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C Sharp Minor" have been particularly heavy, he recently said.
The history of the band, regarded as the oldest organization of its kind in the country, dates back to its formation in 1884 by Gen. E. H. Crowder. It is one of the few college bands whose members receive payment for their services at football, basketball, and polo games; at convocations, parades, and military events. Its services have been requested at
A recent open air concert brought to mind the first such event assayed back in 1911. Venable quickly became a target for student abuse when he attempted Beethoven's "Egmont" overure. He was characterized as a "high-brow" and petitions were circulated asking Dr. A. Ross Hill, then president of the university, to order a change in the policy of the band.
Its services have been requested at conventions in recent years.
