Engineers' Biennial Exposition Rapidly Nears Completion
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. SUNDAY, APRIL 15, 1934
Twenty-first Exhibition of Its Kind Will Begin Friday; to Last Two Days
Exhibits for the twenty-first biennial Engineers Exposition is rapidly narrowing completion, Carl Kindwater, e35, publicity manager of the exposition which will begin Friday. April 20 and continue for two days, announced today.
A super-Century-of-Progress is planned by the engineers. Laboratories of all departments in the school, with ex-commissioned position, will be open for public inspection.
Aside from regular laboratory demonstrations in the Chemistry building, the chemical engineers will also have many interesting exhibits demonstrating the use of different chemicals. The "mechanicals" and "industrials" will sponsor welding and oxy-acetylene demonstrations. Many different types of modern motors will be on exhibit by the mechanicals and a correctly air-conditioned and air-cooled room will be shown by the industrials. The miners will feature a laboratory mill in one-dressing
Another feature of the exposition will be the architectural designs which will show the evolution of the house from the cave to the modern home of today. The civil engineers will present highway exhibits, tests in the concrete laboratories, a model of the Boulder dam, etc. The electrical engineers will demonstrate some of the mysteries of electricity and modern uses of electric power.
Show Uses of Electricity
The department which presents the best exhibition will be awarded a cup by-Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity.
Institutions have been mailed to the high schools of Kansas inviting faculty members and students to attend the Exposition. Many high school students will already be here for the Kansas Relays on Friday and Saturday. Features which will be of interest to them as active students are now being devised.
First Exposition In 1922
The idea of a holiday for students in the School of Engineering and Architecture was first conceived in 1999, at which time an "Engineers' Day" was planned. Originally the program included a series of talks by outside engineers, an engineers' dinner, a parade, an engineers' dance, a baseball game, and field activities.
The first exposition was added to the program in 1922. The varied events of the Engineers' Day program detracted so much from scholastic duties that they were removed. With the exception the baseball game they are now held on different days.
Because of a lack of finances no exposition was held in 1933 but this year it is not open.
The Engineers exposition proved to be the most worthwhile of these events and has persisted through the long years. The students may max of the year's activities in the school'
In past years, attendance has been as large as 2500 or 300 persons.

Foods Classes Visit Kitehens
NUMBER/129
The foods classes of Miss Viola J Anderson, assistant professor of home economics, went to Kansas City Friday where they visited the Loose Wiles, Armour's and Fred Harvey kitchens. Fifteen students participated in the inspection.
free of charge if the University would pay the shipping charges to and from Pasadena where the Institute is located.
This will be one of the final steps in the making of the K.U. telescope which has been 95 per cent complete for almost three years. Operations were discontinued in 1930 because of lack of funds.
The mirror was ground in 1927 by Dr. Alter and William Pitt, Kansas City notebook manufacturer and amateur astronomer. It was ground from a blank of pyrex glass costing $200 and is now valued at $5000.
Contrary to popular opinion, the real mirror in reflecting telescopes is not the glass dise which are b fashioned with such great care and such enormous ex-
When completed, the telescope will be the largest reflector in the middle west. It will be used exclusively for photographic purposes and will therefore have no eyepiece; instead, the photograph plate holder will be placed directly in the tube itself, at the principle focus of the mirror. By eliminating auxiliary mirrors this arrangement will increase the intensity of the incoming rays and make for clearer photographs, says Dr. Alter.
Colored Orchestra
Pleases Cakewalk Dancers
With Jungle Rhythm
(Continued on page 4)
There was something in the jungle beat of Fletcher Henderson's rhythm that did things to our supposedly civilized university students at the Senior Cakewalk Friday evening. When Henderson offered the "Call of the Wild" only a restraining thread of Partition men from dragging their partners out by the hair in the good, old cave-man fashion.
Although every number was roundly applauded, the playing of "I Got Rhythm," and the "Caribians" won the warmest reception from the dancers. Probably the greatest compliment paid the orchestra is the way many of the Hill's musicians hung around the visiting organization with the wide-eyed admiration of the small boy meeting the President. At times so many of the dancing couples stopped to stace and listen, that only about half of the audience were moving.
The party also lived up to advance notices in the matter of styles. This spring fashion show was unusually rich and colorful and indicated the fact that dad's business must have picked up a lot later. Of course, the women occupied the center of the stage in their new creations, as the men were not allowed much originality with flannels.
Judging from the comments heard on every side as the party ended, the Senior Cakewalk ran away with first honors this year in the party division of the University functions.
Fifty-five Schools Included in Final Relays Entry List
Track Stars, Most Numerous in Recent Years Will Participate in 22 Events
With more entries than before, and with some athletes of national and international fame entered, the twelfth annual Kansas Relays are all set for the coming weekend.
A program of a dozen raley races, and 10 special field and track events, will be crowded into the afternoon of Saturday. Athletes from 22 universities, 27 colleges, and 6 junior colleges will compete. A special A.A.U. dearth contest will start Friday, in connection with the thirtieth annual intercolonial track and field meet, and will be finished with the preliminaries of the Relays proper Saturday morning. Perhaps the feature of the special event is the challenge, which are entered, Glenn Cunningham of *holder of the world's indoor*
Perhaps the feature of the special events will be the invitation mile in which are entered, Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, holder of the world's indoor mile record at 4:08:4; Gene Venkze of Pennsylvania previous holder of the indoor mile record; Raymond Sears of Butler, holder of the two-mile indoor record; Harold Manning of Wichita; and Glen Dawson of the Tula A. C.
The invite mile will not supplant the 1500-meter run, in which will be entered Don Landon of Kansas State, rated next to Cunningham in Big Six Illinois; Verne Landmier of Illinois; George Hardy of Missouri; and others.
Retain 1500 Meter
Other field events of interest will be the shot put and the pole vault. In the shot put, Chin Kamm of Illinois, who won the event last year, will be back to defend his record, as will Irving Seeley, also of Illinois, who tied for first with his mate Lennington. Hall of Kansas, Big Six sprint champion, will defend his mark of last year in the 100-yard dash.
In relays events proper, Indiana is sending again the relay team which last year set a new record in the mile at 3.172. Indiana also has a strong two-team队, but the four-mile relay team was outnumbered by its members through graduation.
Illinois, which won the four-mile relay six times in the previous 11 years of the Relays, and now holds the record at 17:37.8, will again be entered.
Winners Will Return
Iowa University also will be a contender in the mile relay, an event won by that school in the first and second Relays, and for which that institution set a record in 1928 at 3:20, which stood until Indiana bettered it last year. Missouri won this event in 1929 and 1930. Iowa was the winner of State Tournaments of Rift Valley universities.
In the college class relays, Kansas State Teachers of Pittsburgh, winner of practice.

HUSKERS SWEEP OVER JAYHAWKS IN TRACK MEET
Cunningham and Lambertus Win Two Events Each, But Do Not Try for Records Because of Wind
KANSAS LOSES LEAD
Nebraska Victory $ 80\% $ to $ 50\% $ Is Sixteenth in Past 24 Encounters
Lincoln, Neb. April 14—(UP) Superiority in field events gave the University of Nebraska an 80% to 50% increase in top-three finishes in a dual track meet here today.
Brilliance of Glenn Cunningham,
premier American middle distance runner,

of Combucker strength.
Kansas held the lead for the first eight events, but a sweep in the discus placed Nebraska in an advantage which proved a rapidly as the field events progressed.
Concedes 2-Mile Run
The mile relay proved the thrill of the day. Kansas built up a substantial lead in the first two laps, only to have Roberts, third man for Nebraska cut into a lead which England Cornbushers' fourth runner held for the final lap.
Kansas, lagging in the scoring, conceded the two-mile run, thereby yielding nine points. Cunningham, conceded as the winner of this event, watched the three Nebraska runners from a place on the sidelines.
rhus Nebraska preserved intact the Cornhusker tradition of not having lost their headdress.
Because of the cold, biting wind, which swept dust and cinders across the track, the hopes of Cunningham of Kansas to set a new outdoor mile record, and of Heye Lambertus of Nebraska to break existing hurdles records, went by the board, and each was content to hold himself in check. Cunningham jogged the first three laps of the mile event in his sweat shirt, which he discarded for the fourth lap, and opened up moderately, just enough to finish by a convincing lead in the slow time of 433.5.
Runs in Sweat Shirt
Lambertus High Scorer
Lambertus held the individual scoring honors with 13 points, having taken first in the 220 and the 220 low hurdles and second in the 100. Hall of Kansas was next with 11 points, having won the 100 and taking second in the 220 and the broad jump. Cunningham's two firsts gave him 10 points.
