Contract for New Snow Hall Will Be Granted This Fall
Four Departments Will Be Located in Science Hall Now Being Planned
Chancellor E. H, Linden announces this morning that final plans for the new Snowball will probably be come from time and the contract, let this fall.
Professors H. B. Hungerford, W. C. Stevens, H. H. Lane, and N. P. Sherwood were in Topela yesterday conferring with state architect, Charles R. Bates, for the new building. The four professors of the committee are the heads of the four departments to be housed in the new building. The departments and their heads are Botany, Chemistry, Biology, and botany (botomology, Hungerford; zoology, Lane).
Only $200,000 was appropriated by the legislature for the new building and the purpose of yesterday's meeting within that figure. Heads of the departments concerned said that this is not really a sufficient amount to equip the new building. There are about eight to nine hundred students enrolled in the classes of the four departments and these are courses requiring extensive labor.
Tentative plans drawn up by Professor Lane call for a four-story building with one department on each floor. Each floor will be designed with a view to the special needs of the department it is to accommodate. Structures in its construction was indicated by members of the committee.
The building is to be located on Blake drive between Blake hall and the Journalism building. It will be on the second floor. The main entrance will probably be on the second floor. Previous to the final decision as to the site for the new hall, Professor Lane had drawn up plans for a building on each of what he described as "the most satisfactory location."
Although it is probable the contract will be let be lit fall, the chain must not be torn down for at least a year. It will be impossible to start actual construction before spring and at least a year after required to con- building.

Rise of Women's Clubs
Since the Civil War
Former Resident of Kansas Depicts Early Club Work in Magazine
The history of the rise of women independence from the days of th civil war until the present when she clubs occupy an important place in her club. Ms. Canfield wrote the theme for a recent article published by McCall's magazine, Mrs. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, a former instructor in the department of Eng.
Miss Canfield pictures the timidity with which the pioneers began their work, fearful of the mackery which prevailed among "women" women," she says, "capture out of their homes once a week or twice a month, and gathered together to read papers and write to them. The controversial subjects as "The History of Holland" and "Raphael's Madonna" brought about by a reach out to the darkness of ignorance, prompted the pioneers, in the face of opposition and ridicule, and then to go on year after year.
The idea of a woman's club is essentially American, Miss Canfield declares. She likens the overwhelming rise of such work to the Cruades. The most surprising feature is that women who grew and expanded in spite of the determined efforts of the menbers to fight publicity.
Slowly the idea grew. The wome took heart, and today there are an proximately three million club-women who have made a substantial movement has always depended on leaders, silver-tongued, magnetic, feminist, social; their case in order to counterbalance the dead weight of the natural human mortia of his followers," says Miss Marianne Haines. "For the women's club movement there were no powerful persons to perceive or inspire from intensive gospel and concentration on their own affairs to try to think about art and literature and from intensive gospel to perused themselves," she continues.

Gish was named official spokesman for the withdrawing school at a recent meeting at Kansas City, Mo., at which it was decided to withdraw the universities from the conference. The withdrawal will not be effective until he returns with an athletic year, Gish said. All sport contracts will be filled by the schools.
The Missouri Valley Conference is to hold its annual meeting at St. Louis December, and it is believed that the conference will be organized at that time.
"There are no hard feelings in any of these relationships," said Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics at the Midwest University, on easterday evening. "The change is one of good fellowship and a means to improve the athletic status of the Mid-West."
The reasons for the withdrawal, according to Doctor Allen, appeared on the cover of a report in some schools. The six institutions held that the Missouri Valley Conference was too large and that it was too difficult for athletes. The differences in the size of the enrolments in the Valley schools made fair and even competition impossible. The difference in the size of the athletic plants in the various in-

It is believed that the notion of beginning a new conference originated in October 2015, when satisfied with its schedules since it was not allowed to play as many non-conference championship games as it
It is thought that Nebsauka, Oklahoma, and the Kansas Aggies had been planning the move since Sept. 10 when the football interpretation rules committee of the Missouri Valley Conference did not know of this meeting.
Doctor Allen gave the following reasons for Kansas withdrawing. "All schools have played their portion among the schools which quit the conference. For example, we have never played against Kansas in our scour Valley athletic contest. We have clashed with Grinnell only two, and with Washington only three times in our seven contests in our seven contexts that athletic relations were almost severed because inequality.
