Architects Presented Cup
Sigma Tau Award Given to Department for Best Exhibit
The awarding of the Sigma Tau cup to the department of Architecture for the best exhibit in the ninth biennial Engineers' exposition held recently, was announced today by Fred Epps, c'35, president of Sigma Tau, Honorary engineering fraternity.
"This cup has been awarded to the architects by an impartial committee," said Epps, "because it was their opinion that the exhibit displayed by this department was the most interesting and worthy of note."
One of the features of the architectural exhibit was a series of designs depicting especially built carillon towers. A scare model of such a tower, constructed for the exposition, showed the possibilities of such a structure.
Another interesting display by the architects was the series of 29 models showing the evolution of the house from the cave to the ultri-modern home of the present day. In addition to these exhibits there were many drawings, designs, and paintings made by students in the department on display.
Kellogg to Washington, D. C.
J. M. Kellogg, professor of architecture, will leave tonight for Washington, D. C. He expects to return within a week.
Captain Hawkins, Kansas Law Graduate Rules for Thirty Years in Philippines
Captain William Marshall Hawkins, who received his bachelor of law degree from the University of Kansas in 1895 and another from Washburn University, died at his home in Piat, Cagayan, in the Philippines last Tuesday, as he neared his seventieth birthday. Captain Hawkins, even though an American, was termed the 101 Per Cent Filipino because of his unusual success as a leader of the civil government on the island.
Captain Hawkins was born in Kentucky, but was raised in Kansas. On his mother's side, he was related to Justice Marshall of the United States supreme court.
Former Vice-President Charles Curtis was one of Captain Hawkins' boyhood friends and schoolmates. One became a national figure in American politics, and the other self-exiled to the Philippines, there to become the "record breaking" town councilor—29 years without being pinned in an election in that town. He was one of those political bosses that continued to rise in power all through his long stay on the island. He arrived in the Philippines in 1904,

when the army of occupation went there. His regiment was assigned to go up north of Luzon and follow the trail of the retreating Filipino revolutionary leader, General Emilio Aguinaldo. This young University graduate led his men to fight in an unknown territory through thick forests and the enemies hidden in crags and mountain tops where they were strongly fortified.
mitte on Student Affairs.
Captain Hawkins married an attractive Filipino woman, the daughter of a major in the Filipino army. The story of how Captain Hawkins found the ideal woman is well known on the Philippine islands. While out chasing General Aguinaldo, Captain Hawkins' troops was faced by the forces of Major Bonifacio Gannaban, the famous leader of the revolutionary army of Piat. As the Americans were better armed and better prepared for battles, the fight, naturally, was uneven. And the Filipino major had to surrender. Captain Hawkins took over Major Gannahan's house for his quarters, and there met the Filipino major's daughter. To this wedlock were born eight children, four boys and four girls, seven of whom are living.
The late Governor General Wood always visited Captain Hawkins' home in Plat, and once said that he was the best political leader in Cagayan. Think of holding an elective office for 29 successive years.
He was one man—still an American citizen—who won the hearts of the whole town of Piat whose people would not let him leave his municipal office, nor allow him to decline an election to the town council.

Business Officers Discuss Problems Of Athletic Games
Study of Laboratory Fee in Different Schools Is Presented at Convention
BULLETIN
The Business Officers of Colleges and Universities of the mid-west meeting in the Memorial Union building at the University today and yesterday elected officers for the closing year at 3:30 p.m. today,
The following persons were elected: President, Fay E. Smith, University of Wyoming; vice president, Charles E. Kuntz, Ohio State College; secretary, L. E. Cunderson, University of Nebraska; members of executive committee, Ralph J. Watts, Lawrence College, Appleton, Wis.; and Lloyd W. Elliott, University of Wichita.
At the round table discussion of the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Association of University and College Business Officers in the Memorial Union building this morning various ways of handling crowds, accounting and reporting of federal taxes, and tickets to athletes were put forth.
Herman H. Halliday of Michigan State College, is the retiring president.
An amusing incident which happened recently was the calling out of the national guard by Governor Murray of Oklahoma to a football game in which the University of Oklahoma participated. Spectators had been purchasing cheap tickets and after they had entered the stadium, they took better seats. When the rightful owner of the seats appeared the usurpers refused to move. This happened so continually that officials of the University wrote to the governor, "Alfalfa Bill" answered by calling out the national guard at the next game to settle the disputes.
Various ways of reporting federal amusement taxes were discussed. Some schools use the method of getting a specific number of tickets, and after the game, accounting for either the ticket or the money. Others count the number of stubs collected by the turntable men.
The University of Nebraska sends out ards to grad schools and high schools. These cards are signed by teachers in he schools and entitle the holder to membership in the Knot Hole gang.
As many as 5600 members of the "gang" have attended one Nebraska football game.
U. H. Smith, bursar of Indiana University, presented a report on methods of some 30 universities in collecting laboratory fees. Wide variety is shown among the various schools. Arkansas, for example has fees that vary from 25 cents to $8 a credit hour, and at the higher rates the rates vary from $1 to $4 a course.
On the other hand, some schools like Iowa State, Michigan State, and Ohio State do not charge laboratory fees is included in the credit hour fee.
In most institutions, however, the laboratory fees are intended to cover used material and breakage.

Broadcasting Problem Again Faces Big Six
Offer of $20,000 for Exclu
sive Privilege to Be
Up to Directors
Big Six activities will center in Lincoln the big weekend of May 18-19.
In addition to the annual outdoor track and field meet there will be the conference tennis meet, and golf for the faculty representatives, directors, and coaches. A long list of business matters also will be considered by the coaches and faculty representatives.
Jack Grover will be starter and referee of the track meet, preliminaries for which will be held Friday afternoon, with the finals Saturday.
C. L. Brewer, secretary of the Big Six, has advised the various directors of the following agenda for their meeting:
May Sell Broadcast Rights
May sell broadcast rights
$\Lambda$ proposal to sell exclusive broadcasting rights for Big Six football games for $20,000.
The question of establishing a limited training table.
The matter of restoring some form of cross country run for fall competition. The question of reviving team championships.
A restatement of the rule covering scouting.
A study of uniformity in reporting ticket sales.
Commenting on this program, Dr. F. C. Allen said the matter of broadcasting has been one requiring much consideration. Decision not to broadcast was reached a year ago when it appeared to athletic directors that broadcasting was $\delta$-finitely interfering with scat sales.
The question came up again last fall, but action was deferred for further tutv.
"Weather Insurance"
"Football has been carrying the athletic programs of the various schools and paying for the stadiums," said D Allen. "We are mindful of the interest of alumni, and of friends at a distance who cannot come to the games, and if it were feasible we would be glad to broadcast."
"However, we have found that the broadcasting of the games, while it advertises, and may bring some new business, if the weather is good, definitely keeps people at home in weather the least bit stormy.
"If the proposition to sell the broadcasting rights is accepted—I repeat, if it is accepted—the $20,000 would be divided among the schools, and it would in effect be weather insurance, recompressing the school for the loss of seat seats that the broadcast kept away on bad-weather days."

Young Artist Wins Generous Applause With Piano Rectal
Evelyn Swarthout Returns to University After Two Years Study in London
The pride was for the young woman who as a graduate of the School of Fine Arts at the University two years ago, began study under Tobias Matthay in London and has returned honored by exceedingly favorable critical reviews of her recitals in London, and recipient of a three-year scholarship from the University. She is also a staff of the British Broadcasting association. The enthusiasm was a product in conjunction with the excellence of her performance last night.
Playing once more before friends from Lawrence and the University, Evelyn Swarthout, daughter of Dean and Mrs. D. M. Swarthout gave a performance last night in the University auditorium which aroused pride and enthusiasm in a large audience.
The recital was well attended by students and townpeople with the Fine Arts students coming directly from their banquet at the Memorial Union building, which immediately preceded the performance. It was not a formal affair, but a cheerful, friendly recital played by a musician for friends. Miss Swarthout was on a level with the audience, presenting a program of comparatively modern well-loved numbers characterized by simplicity.
The young artist was dignified and gracious, and immediately won the favor of the audience. After each group of numbers she was presented with flowers sent by friends.
The "Pasteurate and Capriccio" by Scarati-Tausig, in the first group of numbers was characteristic of Miss Martha's Tragic Ballroom, an imperfect tones and exquisite shading.
The last number in the first group was the seldom-heard Beehoven's Fantasie-Sonata in E-Flat", a companion piece to the poem "Moonlight Sonata" which has experienced great popularity. The composition displayed to advantage the skill of the musician in the varied passages.
The second group consisted of works of Schumann and Chopin. The final selections presented, consisting mainly of numbers by Debyssus, were most popular with the audience. The artist's best work was displayed in these simple numbers. "Lisle Joyceuse" by Debyssus called for great technical skill with the fingers of the artist racing with unbelievable rapidity across the keys.
The outstanding characteristic of Miss Swarthwout's work is the clarity and perfection of tone produced. Following her last number, Miss Swarthwout responded to the prolonged applause with two encores, "En Route" by Palmgren, and "Gavotte." It was a concert pleasurable to the successes of the young musician, and to the new friends whom she won last night.
HOWARD SPEAKS AT BANQUET
Modern Painting Discussed at Fine Arts Day Banquet
Rossiter Howard, newly elected director of the Kansas City Art Institute, was the main speaker at the Fine Arts day banquet held last night in the Memorial Union building Mr. Howard spoke on "What Is Permanent in Modern Art." He brought out the point that a thing did not have to be new to be beautiful. He taught us a position the person who looks at it, and this purpose is often overlooked in the so-called modern art, he said.
Dean D. M. Swarthout was toastmaster for the banquet. Toasts were given by Helen Russell, fa'34, and Philip Yost, fa'sp. Mary Louse Belt, fa'36, sang a solo, and J. T. Craig, e'34, led group singing.
