Memorial Union Plans Completion of Second Floor
Finishing of Ball Room Is Made Possible by New General Student Activity Fee
A move toward the completion of the dance room and assembly hall at the Union building, has been decided on by the Union Operating committee. Tentative plans call for completion of the work by the end of the summer, in order that it may be in use at the beginning of the fall semester, 1933.
The plans, which would call for the finishing of walls, columns, and ceilings of the second floor, commonly known as the dance floor, would include all mill work on the windows, completion of plastering and painting.
Union Joins Chamber of Commerce
The work is to be made possible by the new student activity fee in which every student participates, and is contemplated with the idea of showing the students what their money will buy. Plans will also go forward for the completion of the remainder of the building, which includes the third floor stairway, office and meeting room space.
The estimated cost is in the neighborhood of $4,000, which is entered as the Memorial Union's share in the Lawrence renovizing campaign.
The Memorial Union also has taken out membership in the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. This represents an innovation. The membership is vested in Ozwin Rutledge, manager of the Memorial Union.
The Kansas Memorial Union in conjunction with the policy of other members of National Association of Unions has adopted the following statement of aims and objectives:
Policy Set Forth
"The returns sought from the operation of the Memorial Union are to be expressed in terms of social value to the University body which it serves. This includes the sole aim of all the activities which are housed and fostered by the Union.
'Big Sister' Captains Named Y.W.C.A. Women Selected to Help New Students Next Fall
"The Union takes up its work where the class room and laboratory leave off. Its field is to enrich the leisure time of the students, to make more convenient and pleasant the companionships of class hours, to encourage the participation of all students in the informal cultural and social life of the University, closely related to, but lying outside of, the daily routine."
Each of the 12 captains will have charge of groups of 12 women who will be new to the Hill next fall. The "big sisters" help the new women to get acquainted and inform them of University activities. The general purpose is to help the newcomers become acclimatized.
The 12 women who will act as captains in the Campus Sister movement of the W.Y.C.A. next year were named among the most outstanding man of all the Campus Sister groups.
The women who will serve as captains are: Vivian Gould, c'34; Bernadine Berkley, c'36; Evangeline Clark c'35; Marjorie Gospel, c'unel; Clive Marqus, fa 36; Jeff Balsz, fa 36; Amie Green c'35; Esther Henderson, c'35; Bonnie Jean Daniels, c'36; and Marjorie Montgomery, c'unel.

STUDENTS' HOMECOMING CALLS FOR MOTHERS' FRIED CHICKEN
By James R. Patterson, c'34
Harmon died
Out in the far-flung corners of the world, fond parents are preparing today to welcome home daughters and sons from the University. Fathers and mothers who remember their children only as a signature on a canned meal will have occasion to renew a acquaintance with their offspring in the flesh.
What a happy homecoming it will be! Fried chicken, strawberry shortcake, and more fried chicken. Dad and mother in the ear down at the train to meet you. And as with her hair up in the air, the other (or maybe the other) is the other way around).
Perhaps, that beautiful friendship which began in high school may be renewed again. It is likely he or she will also be on the reception committee t

String Quartet to Play

welcome the returning student home.
Yes, the girl you left behind you and
the home town boy friend are making
elaborate preparations for the big day.
Now the scene changes to a sad parting of two who have danced as one. It is a tender little scene enacted under the soft moon and the fluttering leaves. Youth is finding that life can be bitter as well as sweet. In other words its time for him to scram and he can't get started.
Back at the house, he must suffer another ordeal of parting. If he is so fortunate as to find both suitcases, he has had to spend the money business by playing a game known as
The articles are tucked hastily in the grips and not opened until the player has arrived home. Then, he pours out the contents of the bags counting ten for a shirt that fits, five if it is the wrong size, and three if dad can wear
So the students make ready to depart, anxious parents and sweethearts plan for the homecoming, and the professors search their souls and wonder if it is really worth it.
Unfortunately, it is said, young women students cannot enjoy the pleasure of this happy game. When it is remembered that 15 minutes of preparation are required for her to be ready to sit on the porch, one hour to fit her for going a coke, and three hours to make room for her, it can be that all of her time will be necessary to prepare for the home journey.
Circus Tale Brings Award of $60 in Quill Club National Prize
John Gilchrist's Story Wins First in Contest
A tale of the visit of a middle-western family to a circus won for John Gilchrist, c'33, the first prize in a national short story contest conducted by the American College Quill club. The prize, an award of $60, was awarded on November 15 in honor of Professor Hopkins of the department of English, founder of Quill club.
Gurchisir's story, titled "The Circus," was a local color story, laid in a rural setting. The comment of the judges was that it presented an authentic picture of the rural background of the Middle West.
Entries in the contest, although conducted by Quill club, were not limited to members of the organization. Approximately 300 student writers submitted stories. Gilbirsth was butchered and to enter the School of Medicine and has completed his pre-medic work. He will continue writing as an avocation, he said.
The judges in the contest were headed by John T. Frederick, editor of The Midland, of Chicago
"For all practical purposes, the Greek organizations may just as well quit worrying about the back taxes," L. E Hoover, county treasurer said today. "That's what I'd do if I were them. The act of the legislature should set its act is declared unconstitutional, that is where the situation stands."
Back Tax Threat Passes
J. G Brandt, Dean.
Mr. Hoover said that the back taxes had not been officially taken off the tax rolls, since he could not do that until he received instructions to do so. He said he did not know where this information will come from, because he did not know who had the authority to 'sue the order.'
County Treasurer Hoover Advice Greek Houses to Stop Worrying
"It may be," he said, "that the act of the legislature automatically removed the taxes from the rolls. I do not know and until I receive definite instructions, I am going to take no action."
Notice to Pre-Law Students
Juniors in the College who expect to present the first year of Law toward the A. B. degree should call at the College office not later than Tuesday, June 6, to make application for this combined degree and to have their records checked for requirements.

The proposed shortening of the enrollment period in September will probably be put into effect in the fall of 1934. Since catalogs had the longer period provided for this year, it was wise to proceed according to schedule.
The changes in the calendar follow action of the University Senate, which in turn received petitions from the student councils. As requested by students, the council provides a vacant day between the close of classes and the beginning of examinations.

Funeral Services for E.H.S.Bailey Will Be Tomorrow
Distinguished Chemist, Who Has Served University Since 1883, Dies at 85 Years
Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, who came here in 1883 to head the department of chemistry in the then new University of Kansas, died Thursday afternoon at the age of 85. He had not been actively teaching for the past five years.
Funeral services for Dr. Bailey will be held at the First Presbyterian church at 2 p. m. tomorrow, with interment in Oak Hill cemetery. The Reverend Theodore Azman will conduct the services. For many years Dr. Bailey served as chaplain to the Presbyterian church, and in recognition of this service was made "eldest omenitus."
The honorary palebearers will be Dr. E. H. Lindley, Professor H. P. Cady, Professor W. H. Johnson, Professor F. B. Dains, Professor Olin Templin, Professor W. C. Stevens, Professor J. Numlupa, Professor J. W. Olmstead, B. H. Pearls, Fred M. Harris, Professor M. W. Sterling, Professor E. A. White, and Ray Chiles.
The following statement was made by Chancellor Lindley:
The active palletbearers will be W. C. Simons, Professor Ray Q. Brewer, Dr James Naismith, Dean L. D. Havenhill, C. J. Dodds, and Professor W. J. Baumgartner.
"The death of Dr. Bailey removes one of the most distinguished members of the faculty and contributors to science. He was the spiritual father of an extraordinary group of chemists which has carried the fame of the University far and wide. He was a great scientist, a great teacher, and a man of outstanding character. He will be enshrined as one of the most beloved men in the history of the University."
From classes conducted by Dr. Bailey went men who became leaders in scientific research in this country-Franklin, Slosson, Kellogg, and others.
Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey headed the department of chemistry at the University of Kansas through a period in which science, art, and technology were entering largely into the scheme of higher education.
Early in Dr. Bailey's administration, Robert Kennedy Duncan came to the University of Kansas as professor of industrial chemistry, and first in America established on the Kansas campus the plans which he helped under Dr. Duncan's directionhip, of the great Mellon Institute of Industrial research.
indus. Bailey's interest in the chemistry of foods led to the establishment of the Kansas food and drug laboratory, under the direction of the State Board of Health, and had a large part in the passage of the Kansas pure food laws.
At K. U. Since 1883
He came to the University of Kansas in the fall of 1883, when the University of Kansas was a small institution of 582 students (350 preparatory), and a faculty of 19. Of these 19 on the Sterling, 17 on the Surling here; he Gainfield of Ann Arbor, Mich, and W A. McDonald, of Chicago, are surviving.
Dr. Bailey was a native of Middlefield, Comm., the son of Russell E. and Hamden Hammersley, and received a degree of PhB. from Yale in 1873, and was instructor in chemistry there the following year. He spent time at Lechigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., where he had opportunity to learn about the handling of iron, steel, zinc, slate and coal, and to engage commercial analysis of these materials.
He spent the year 1881 in Leipsig, and in 1883 received, upon examination, a degree of H.S. from the University of Lawrence, and 15 of that year he came to Lawrence, and continued from that time on as a member of the faculty, until his retirement. He also granted leaves of absence, a half year in 1895 for study at Leipsig, and another half year in 1912 for travel in Europe to study the food industries and marketing foods in those countries.
Many Courses-One Teacher
In his early years at the University of Kansas, Dr. Bailey was the only teacher in his department, and had no assistance except such as the more advanced classes in general chemistry, qualitative chemistry, quantitative chemistry, organic chemistry, assaying, analytical chemistry, toxicology, physiological chemistry, and materia medica were taught by this one-man course. In 1886 a course was offered in the same manner, acoustic and sanitary chemistry, and Kansas thus became one of the first universities in the country offer such a practical course related to everyday
One of the first students to become n assistant to Dr. Bailey was Edward Bairley, born in 1802, 888 and 1890, taught here for some time, and then went to Stanford. At a celebration marking the death of Franklin, then resident of the 14,000 members of the
