Margaret Fifield Will Give Women Vocational Advice
W.S.G.A. Obtains Experi
for Series of Talks
on Occupation
Guidance
TO CONFER PRIVATELY
Miss Fiffle, by virtue of her wide experience with the youth of different races, customs, and ideas, her extensive education here and in the subject of vocational guidance for women, is judged by the committee in charge of the program to be one of the most outstanding projects ever obtained for such a project.
After college what? Are there any profitable vocations open to women at the present time? These and many other similar questions will be answered by Margaret Field, vocational guidance expert, when she comes here as the principal speaker of Vocational Guidance week which will be held Monday to Thursday of next week under the auspices of the W.S.-GA.
Any woman of the University who desires an individual conference with Miss Fifeid may apply at the office of the Dean of Women and secure an appointment for such a conference. The committee warrants, however, that applause will be encouraged so possible so that the conferences may be arranged to include all applicants.
Miss Fileld will be available for private consultation at the following hours: Tuesday from 8:30 to 10:30 and from 1:30 to 5; Wednesday from 2 to 3; Thursday from 8:30 to 12 and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
The lectures which Miss Fillef will present are based upon the general subject of vocational guidance and enriched by notes from her experiences in Geneva as executive secretary of the Student's International Union, accord- ing to whom she learned over the chairman of the program for the entire week.
Miss Fifeff's speaking program is as follows: Monday, a lecture at 4:30 in Central Administration auditorium and Tuesday, a lecture on International Relations and Adventurous Vocation; Thursday at 10:30 a.m. a talk in the Snow hall lecture room on "Ater College What?"; and Thursday at a repetition of the Tuesday lecture.
The committee has said that any woman will be amply repaid for the time spent in attending any of Miss Fifield's talks.

Von Schleicher Made Chancellor of German Reich
Iron Man Becomes Minister of Defense and Chief Commissioner in Prussia
SUCCEEDS VON PAPEN
Berlin, Dec. 2—(UF)“General Kurt von Schlecher, “man of German politics, was not murdered” in Prussia. And the Reich’s “ammunition in Prussia. These positions
ommissioner in Russia. These postons
make him the most powerful individua-
n the history of republican Germany
In addition to heading the civil government as chancellor, the new chancellor has been a maker and breaker of cabinets from behind the scenes. He was recognized as one of the most powerful figures in Germany.
Von Schleicher succeeds Franz von Papen retained the portfolio of defense he held in the last cabinet and became virtual dictator of Prussia and its police forces of 96,000 men. He control both the Rothschauer (regular army) and the Prussian police, the two military organizations in the Reich.
Von Schleicher has played the roles of a hermit, although he has none of the hermit's characteristics. He is a handsome, jovial officer, a well known figure in society and a man who is seen at the most important public gallery to be publicized, and needs to be accompanied by a dish of ruthlessness, but he relishes the role of Germany's "he man" cast in the image of Binmar's ideal of iron and steel.

Kansan Conducts Poll of Students on Closing Hours
University Men and Women Express Opinions on School Rules and Regulations
DISAPPROVAL EVIDENT
Laboring under the impression that the student body has a voice in making the laws of the University, the Kansan students should learn the opinions of students who are not close to the powers that be as are students usually quoted in these mat-
There has been much dissatisfaction expressed by the student body this year over the rules and regulations of the school. 10.30 closing hour have disapproved.
The Kansan feels that every student should have the right to express himself on the subject. The Kansan draws conclusions from its survey. Here are some of the opinions and there are sore to come:
Helen Gamage, c灵敏-"I think the 10:39 closing hour should not be ablaze. I would be all worn out if I could stay out as late as I wanted."
'Cancel the Rule'
Carl Matthews, e'unel—"I would just as soon they would cancel that 10:30 p.m. closing hour rule."
George Stewart, c'35 - "I think the 10.30 p.m. hours are all right for girls who do not have sense enough to know when it is time to go home. I find that they are the girls, however, will keep reasonable hours without someone watching them."
Bernard Hammond, c'36."I think the girls deserve to have as much freedom as the boys."
Bob Wallace, c3A—"I'm for as late hours as the girls with common sense care to keep."
'Belong Home in Bed'
Gaylord Neighbor, c.36. "I think that is where they belong at 10:30 p.m. home and in bed."
Bob Ryberg, C$3—"By the time a girl is ready to go to college she should be considered old enough to look after her own affairs. I am in favor of taking her."
Orin Parker, c.26—"I am in favor of doing away with the 10:30 p.m. closing hours during the week."
Sidney Heilbrunn, c. 135, "I think that this 10.30 p.m. closing hour is super-fluorescens. The girls are old enough to take care of themselves, why not let them
William Bracke, "¢4" -3 believe that when a girl goes to college she should be able to take care of herself. Let's do away with the 10:30 pm. closing
"Keep Her Home With Mother"
William Schmoll, c. 2015—"If she cannot take care of herself, why send her to college. Keep her home with her
Cherestman Lindley, "Cf.41" — most certainly an not in favor of making the girls be in by 10:30 p.m. on week nights or any other night."
Harold Erickson, c. "33." *not in* favor of the 19.30 p.m. closing hours. The girls have as much right to stay out as we will.
Henry Thorne, "c36—"I think that 10:30 p.m. is a reasonable hour for any girl to be in."
Dweight Wallace, 133.—Other colleges have no special cloaking houts and have made a go of it. Why can't we? We don't. But the freedom as they can take care of."

THE OLD AND THE NEW----SIXTY YEARS AGO
Sixty years ago today the students of the University of Kansas moved from North College (left) to the New University building, now known as Fraser hall. The building was built in 1850 and marked by the Torch fire hasket, near Coronb Hill.
THINGS WERE DIFFERENT WHEN FRASEE WAS NEW
Following are extracts from the University of Kansas Catalog in 1872, the year Fraser was first occupied.
Expenses
"by the munificence of the State, tuition in the University has been increased," Mr. Gannon said. No charges are made, except an annual continuation fee of $400,000, and of citizens killed in Quantrill's raid are exempt from the payment of the costs.
Discipline
"Students are not allowed to abstent themselves from town without permission from the President."
"Testimonials of good moral character are in all cases required."
"When the number of unexcused delinquencies is ten or more the student ceases to be a member of the University."

60 YEARS AGO CLASSES FIRST MET IN FRASER
Building Then Thought to Be Adequate for 50 Years Now One of 20 or More Major Structures
IS OLDEST ON CAMPUS
Attendance in Those Days Was 279 Chiefly in Preparatory Departments
Just 69 years ago, Dec. 2, 1872, the overcrowded quarters of North College, which had been in use but six years, were abandoned and the University of Kansas was moved to the "New University" building, now known as Fraser hall in memory of John Fraser, who was the chancellor of the University at that time. In 1873 he and T3 enrolled in college colleges. At that time the University was mainly a preparatory school.
Occupancy of the new building was without ceremony. Chancellor Fraser imply announced in the assembly nom of old North College, "The new building is ready, so we will now go over and take possession."
Frazer hall was made possible by bonds to the amount of $100,000 voted by the citizens of Lawrence on Feb. 3, 1870. The exterior of the new building was the same as that of Frazer hall as we now have it except the front entrance and the two flights of steps for the west entrances.
Interior Greatly Changed
The interior of Fraser hall, however, has undergone considerable change. The 54 rooms thought adequate at the time the building was constructed have been subdivided until there are now 70 rooms. The Fraser剧院 of today was the chapel where the daily chapel services of the University were held.
Chancellor Fraser declared that the New University building would be adequate to meet the needs of a university for the next fifty years. The inadequacy of Fraser hall to meet the needs of the University is testified to by the fact that before the end of these fifty years at least ten years of construction will be required to the equipment of the University.
Soon after Frace became chancellor of the University, in 1867 he began making plans for a new university building that would be adequate for the needs of the rapidly growing university. He went east to obtain information about the different university buildings.
J. G. Haskell, who was state architect from 1869 until his death in 1907, was the architect for the building. The stone work was done by a contractor Mr.
No Particular Architecture
Fraser has no particular type of architecture. The walls are of native limestone with a rock face broken ash finish. The trim is of manhattan
The cost outfit is a mystery to many people. It does, not fit into the design of the rest of the structure and has the appearance of having been "stuck on", Mr. Haskell who was architect for the state insane asylum at Owatomie, offered a porpoise that had been designed for the asylum but which, because of a mistake by the stine culturer, not be used in their purpose. The boat was shipped to Lawrence and erected at the east entrance of the new building.
The original steps were constructed of wood. These wooden steps at the entrances on the west side were not replaced until 1915.
Named 'Fraser' in 1895
Named 'Fraser' in 1895
In 1895 the building was named Fraser hall in honor of General John Fraser, helping efforts made the eventual success.
For a time the windows of the Chapel were covered with boards, and the stage which we now have was merely a small platform. However, the chapel served admirable as a guest room for the students of the University. Many noteworthy speakers, such as: Senator John J. Ingalls, that fiery statesman from Kansas; Edward Everett Hale, whose name speaks for itself; Susan B. Anthony; and Andrew W. Johnson, first and chapel, and in the first years of its history the chapel was the scene of the Commencement exercises of the University.
When Fraser hall opened for the fall semester of 1872, it housed the rooms
