Work on Union Continues
Dance Floor Being Enlarged; Walls Lined With Tile, Plaster
The Sophomore Hop, to be held in the Union Building Feb. 6, will be the first party given in the new ballroom. The last varsity was held the night before the Kansas-Missouri football game Thanksgiving day, and during Thanksgiving vacation the construction was commenced.
The walls, which had been left unfinished, were lined with hollow tile and then plastered. The tile was for the purpose of preventing expansion and contraction caused by weather conditions from cracking the plaster. It will also make the building much easier to heat. The old cloak room has been removed, giving more space for dancing. The work is almost completed but the chandlers and drapes for the new floor will have to wait until enough money is collected from back pledges due the Union building to provide them.
With the completion of the second floor all that must be done to complete the present structure is the erection of a new floor. The first step in fixing of the third story of the building
The regular mid-week varsities, held each Wednesday night from 7 to 8 o'clock, which are free to all persons holding activity books, were stopped the last of November so that the construction could be carried on. They will be resumed at the beginning of the second semester.

Economist Stays Migration to Cities Brings Decline in Birth Rate
25c
Population May Decrease

Biscuits free at night
Mimicapolis, Jan. 25-If the American people in the post-depression period resume migration to the cities, the population of the United States will start to decrease. Dr. O. E. Baker, senior economist of the United States de-posed from his concession speech in Northrop Memorial auditorium yesterday.
The decline will be due to a rapidly declining birth rate, which is especially noticeable in the cities and among the upper classes.
CAFETERIA
"The decline in the birth rate will not be noticeable for about 29 years," Dr. Baker said. "About 1500 there will be a rising death rate, not because people die at a relatively younger age but because it is so large that number of old womb will be greater."
"An indication of future population decrease is the falling enrollment in public schools."
at the
Larger cities have much lower birth rates than do smaller cities and country districts. At present there are about 10 million births in the cities than in the country,
"One of the reasons for this differ-
ence is that it costs two or three times
as much to raise a child in a large city," Baker said. "Another is a better knowledge of birth control in cities.
"Unfortunately, the survival rate is higher in the lower classes than in the better class of people," he continued. "The quality of the populace will soon decline if the present philosophy of life persists."
There has been a continual flow of youth from the farm to the city during the past few years. The number of young people on farms has been decreasing by 20 per cent, thus raising the population of the cities.
Baker claimed that there are only two-thirds enough children in the cities to maintain the population level.
OREGON UNIVERSITIES PLAN
TO ABROLL BUILDING FEE
W. J. Kerr, chancellor of higher education in Oregon, has selected a committee from both the University and the Oregon State campuses to gather information on the question of optional membership in the Associated Students of the University of Oregon, a compulsory student organization in which students are required to pay a building fee of $15.
The petition that was presented to the state board of higher education by the students was that "hard pressed"
students should not be required to pay this fee. The students seem to feel that the students who can meet the obligation will do so without the idea of making them do it.
NEW TEMPORARY SIDEWALK
FOR APPROACH TO LIBRARY
The emergency sidewalk entrance to Watson library, while the mound of earth in front of the building is being moved, put into use today. The temporary walk skirts the building to the central entranceway, and there connects with a new wooden stairway to the old walk level.
The grillwork in the arch of the stone "draw-bridge" entrance has been removed so that students from the east may follow the "moat" under the entrance to use the same stairway.
ADDED FEE IS SURPRISE
TO STUDENTS AT MADISON
Madison, Jan. 24—Approximately 200 students, of the University of Wisconsin, which, before February, will have to pay a new fee of $5, the office of the registrar revealed Friday.
This new fee was levied last fall by the board of regents at the same time that the general fee for undergraduates was raised from $21.50 to $27.50.
It is the first time that a fee of this sort has been required, and every student will have to pay it before graduating.

Soon-- she'll be looking for a Room to Rent
TELL HER ABOUT YOURS
The end of the semester will soon be here. Students will be changing. Some leaving, some returning and some wanting a different room for the next semester.
If you have a room for rent, you can tell all the students with a small Want Ad in the Kansan. The cost is small, 25c for 1 time, 50c for 3 times, or 75c for 6 times. Don't let that room remain empty without trying to find an occupant.
Don't gamble a semester's rent on a house sign or hope. If it can be rented, a Kansan Want Ad will find the student who wants it.
