Plans for New Cover
Now Being Made
in Chicago
With the dead line for organization pictures for the 1928 Jaynawaker set out, we have a list of requests that all fraternities and other groups have their pictures taken immediately to avoid last-minute rush studies. Several organizations have already turned in gloses for the anarchists, but the others should be turned in at the earliest possible moment to avoid a rush of work at the deadline, he says.
All applications for staff positions must be in by Wednesday, Oct. 19. Foster announced. The positions are granted by the staff of the Jay school and no more will be received after Oct. 19. Several good positions on the staff are still open for both busing and editorial work, the editor said.
Senior who wish to have their pictures in the annual are requested to get them in as soon as possible, the deadline for senior gloses being set is September. They must be bust pictures with a medium grey background, measuring four by six inches. The price for senior picture books is $15 for junior, $25.50. The local photographers are making special rates for the gloses. Each senior who turns 18 and 24 may be also asked to fill out a card with a list of his university activities and the organizations to which he is used under his name if the annual.
Senior Pictures In
Candidates for the beauty sector both from sororities and from other organizations must be executive in order to succeed, according to Foster. The twenty or so nominees who are accepted will be sent to Kansas City, Mo., where they will be presented to the Hixon-Weise studio. These pictures will then be sent to John Heid Jr., famous caricaturist and artist of collegiate subjects, to receive materials of his university means of 1928.

work.
Foster reports that the work on the Jahyawkier is two months ahead of last year's book at the same time.
Plans for the new cover design to be used this year are at a standstill, said Foster, on account of the introduction of several new coatings in building. The outstanding companies who have submitted bids, according to the editor, are Durney Smith, Smith company, both in Chicago. They have submitted sketches which are now being considered for printing and for the cover work go to the same company, both will be let within the next six months. The designer of the 1928 cover for printing and the Foster pointed out, will be used also as the decoration for the opening pages and for the rest of the building by forming a harmonic pattern throughout.
watter A. Balley, Kansas City artist who gave the work of painting the eight pictures in oil to be used in the book, has worked. These pictures of campfire, which according to the staff are realistic and well done.
The Hahn studies have completed the pictures for the view section, which comes in three colors. The views will be reproduced in three colors. The color work, said Foster, will be in subdued tones in order to allow the viewer a natural appearance to the views.
Solemnorems in the department of design have been making posters for Homecoming day and they will be on exhibition next week in the exhibition room on the third floor of central Administration building, building B of the work done by summer school students and of Japanese prints.

Dean P. F. Walker Commits Suicide; Motive Unknown
Engineering School Dean
Found Dead in Office;
Gun and Notes
Near Him
Chancellor Lindsey issued this statement this morning:
Perley F. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, was found dead in his office in Marvin hill this morning at 3:25p by a police officer apparently a suicide. A weapon was found nearby. Repeated efforts to find a motive have been futile. Chancellor Lindsey issued this state
"The University has suffered a severe blow in the death of Dean Walter. He was doing a great work, making important contributions to the University of Kauai, and his worth was recognized through the state and national both in educational and industrial circles."
"Just last spring he received a diploma offer from the University of Minnesota, but precluded to remain in Kansas, where his educational experience, and where he was offered in an industrial development of the state.
"One of the members of the board of regents, last Saturday told me and I was shocked," Walker was most highly respected for his work as an educator and for his work in research. He expressed that he had a better vision of the industrial future of the state than any other member.
"For the present, Prof. George Shand, who noted for Dean Walker during the war, will be in charge of Engineering and Archeology."
The note to Chancellor E. H.
Lindley was very heart:
"I have no words, only a terrible fact.
WALKER."
"Good boy. You are doing . . . work. May luck be with you. 'Th is enough of blame on me but I am not a 'taker.'
in another letter, Dean Walker said; "My life has been spoken of as having experienced many disappointments, but that is not the reason."
On Dean Walker's desk were a number of letters to his family and handsome men who were asking for advice them indicated that some reason for the act could be found after his death.
The following letter to Prof. G, C. S. Cland, head of the department of the law at the University, to be the last man who saw Dean W. E. Jenkins, is a typical example of the letter.
"Dear Shaad:
"The sight of you nearly floored me onight.
"Don't think of me harshly or that I am a coward. I am in agony—both spiritual and physical. Good God! Go to the end and calmly prepare for it."
"You will carry on here. God bless you for all you have done for me. Good luck."
P F "
Professor Shand said this morning that departmental relations in the engine school were never better. Speaking of last night he said:
"I was in my office last night as he came in. He called a greeting from the hall and waited on to his office, and not disturb him when I left at 11:00.
In his statement this morning Professor Shad further said, "The family relations were of the happiness. And Mr. Walker spent Sunday on an island where he and I went to the cemetery where their children are buried. Whether he went, whether he was doing something in the back of his mind, or whether the trip to the cemetery was the last straw on a burden that they had to冒着 of, of course, cannot say."
At the cemetery Dean Walker also stopped at the grave of the graceful Higgins, who was the niece he was committed to the care of Dean Walker upon the death of his father, a professor who was an amateur photographer. The graves visited are those of his only children. They both died several years ago of scarlet fever, at nearly the age of 76.
Sunday afternoon before the trip to the cemetery they drove out to the Country club where Dean Wallem employee Paul Hirsch was given for the pause at Higgins' grave except that he had been very close friends. Higgins died last year while coach at Lawrence Memorial high school, following an appendicitis.
Early last week, Dean Walker drove to St. Louis for the meeting of the American mechanical engineer, and drove home Thursday night. Friday
