Like the other fixtures in the building, it will be of a fashionable design. It will be 12 feet in diameter and 12 feet high, and contain 211 electric light bulbs. The support to the ceiling will be made of metal which the giant fixtures may be let down to be cleaned or remade.
The whole lighting system of the new building is elaborate and unusually convenient to control, according to the requirements. Watt flood lights in the ceiling will be used for illumination during basketball games. Twelve 400-watt fluorescent lights on the orchestra pit. Stage lighting may be controlled either from the stage or from the movie booth, which will be the latest models of cinema projectors.

Members of Sigma Dta Chi are on the lookout for new students in these first two weeks of school and many incidents which occur during the rushing季季 and open house will be found in this open issue.
The editor of the "Pop Gun" has returned with plenty of spicey truths concerning University students and he has promised that readers will enjoy the pages. This feature has enjoyed popularity since it was made a regular part of each issue last year and the first part of the issue pertaining part of the magazine. In one issue last year the "Pop Gun" was not included and Sigma Delta faced many queries and requests for their appearance, according to the editor.
As in past years the magazine will be printed by the Lawrence Journal World and engraving done by the contributors. The contributors are asked to turn in copy and cartoons as soon as possible to the Sour Owl office in the journalism publication in this first issue. The sum will be paid for such matter.

Concert Course Will Open Nov. 16 in New Auditorium
Four Well-Known Artists Will Give Program During Music
Season
The University of Kansas concert course offered each year by the School of Fine Arts, will open Nov. 16, with the musical dedication of the new auditorium by Galli-Curci.

First, it is the 25th anniversary of the school, and secondly, it is the first year that the course is given in the new auditorium. Dean Swarthout said this morning, "It is second to no course given in the United States." For example, for E. H. Lindley makes the following statement concerning the concerts:
"The University concert course has each year brought artists of distinction to Lawrence. The list for each year can be downloaded even offered here. I can think of few expenditures of the time and money of students so profitable and enjoyable as that by the delightful performers provided by the concert course."
The price of the season tickets this year is $8.75 for the second balcony, $8.00 for the first balcony and back first ten rows under the first balcony, $6.00 for the first floor for the remainder of the first floor.
"It was thought a first that because of expenses it would be necessary to raise prices considerably. However, available seats with the same value the past may be secured for the same price, and the second balcony seats may be secured at a lower fee than usual." are offered with the students particularly in mind."
Dean Thawn said too.
Tickets are on sale now at the office of the School of Fine Arts, Bell's Music store, and the Round Corner Drug store.

Crew of Workers Improve Campus During Summer
Rosedale Barracks Moved Buildings Redecorated and New Walks Put Down
Vacation time for students has been a busy season for the department of buildings and grounds, according to Charles G. Bayles, head of the department. No really big projects were attempted but no less than 10 percent completed this summer at a great expense according to Mr. Bayles.
"The gruping of a service driver from Missouri street around the bank to Oread required a great amount of time and an ugly yesterday," and "is not yet completed. A part of it was paved but the other was not, so getting too much to warrant the yaying of the remainder until next week would be covered with cameras until then, he said.
A Change at Rosedale
One change will happen. University of Kansas students will not be enrolled by students at Lawrence unless they quit the School of Medicine at Arkansas.
New Sidewalks Are Built
A crew of workmen are still at work around the new auditorium, according to o. Mr. Bayles, who is directing the work. This work will be completed with the auditorium's made ready, however.
Workmen of the department of buildings and grounds invaded the grounds at Rosewoods and proceeded to disarm the vehicles which have been here for years.
Pipe Organ to Auditorium Wagonloads of pipes from the pipe organ are being hauled to the new auditorium this week.
Other sidewalks put in this summer include short strips across the campus gymnasium. These strips make the sidewalk on the south side of the campus continuous from one end of the campus to the other, Mr. Bayley.
The pipe organ which was in Foster chapel is being moved to the auditorium and have already been made ready in the walls of the auditorium, according to Mr. Bayley, and the pipes will be put in the Renter company of Lawyers, the Reuter Organ company of Lawyers.
"We have to pack the pipes just as carefully for this trip across the campus as we would if we were to drive from the City, Mr. Bayley said yesterday.

Chi Delta Sigma Buys Chapter House Site; Will Remodel Building
Plans to Erect New Structure at 1100 Missouri Within a Few Years
Announcement was made late last week by the Chi Delta Sigma fraternity of the purchase of a chapter building, and a state was consumed last spring. The house was withheld until the present time. The house is located west of the stadium on Eleventh street on a two and one-half acre tract of land be­tween Chatham Street and is one of the three large streets fraternity properties in Lawrence.
Although the house is not at present adequate for the present needs of the fraternity a few of the memorial plaques to which the students will be carried out for remodeling and building an addition to the present structure, which can be used by the fraternity for four or five years, after which a permanent house will be built.
Remodeling to Begin Soon
Remodeling will probably begin with the work far enough along so that it may be used at homecoming.
A landscape architect will be eminent next spring to landscape the ground.
The growth of Chi Delta Signa is in many ways comparable to the development of the national fraternal organization, the direct outgrowth of the old Allemannia society which held a prominent position in the Hall for a quarter of a century.
Founded in 1900
Allemann was founded in 1900 as a boarding school for both men and women students. German was spoken at the meals. At the outbreak of the World war, it was necessary to change the nature of the organization to a competitive social fraternity. It continued to be an institution for both men and women, and was incorporated in 1918, and a house later purchased.
However, in 1925 it was decided that the men and the women should be called organizational, the men adopting Sigma, and occupying the house at 1247 Ohio street until this summer, when they acquired the property at 1104 Missouri.
The male alumni membership of Alemania was absorbed by the Greek-letter organization, excepting what he had seen in which were formed before the change during the war, and while the founding of the fraternity actually dates back to 1926, it has chosen to regard Feb. 22, 1928, as being the date of its founding.

A., provided there are any left after the freshmen receive their copies. The book will be available for the examination this year as 'ang as they last.
Museum Is Remodeled
Medics of this year who take anatomy will find they have much more room than did the classes of 1940s and 50s at the museum. This has been brought about by a remodeling of the base, the department of buildings and grounds.

That, then, must stand as the registration for the first day. The university includes chief freshman and other entering for the first time. Most of those who have attended the University in previous terms will begin this morning, and registration will continue through Wednesday.
Enrollment in most of the schools will begin Tuesday morning, although the Graduate School office will be open today for the business of enrolling students at that school. Enrollment in most of the schools is to take the psychological examination as it is a prerequisite to registration and all other events. It may taken at 8 a.m. this morning at place any time after the psychological examination, but it must precede enrollment. At the time of registration, each student will be given a questionnaire and appointed for a physical examination.
