Advance men and a crew of assistants from the First National Pictures studio will arrive in Lawrence this week in connection with the First National Pictures-College Humor screen tests. The "shooting dare" set for next month isbd will be sponsored by likely the Browne戏剧.
This will be only a part of a nation-wide effort to enlist for screen work the best available talent to be found in the largest universities and leading preparatory schools. At least ten men will be screened at every university, but as soon as they are sent under contract to the company's studio at Burkun, Calif.
Any man enrolled in the University will be eligible to submit himself to the examiner. The unit visit Lawrence will comprise a competent judge of photographic personality and of studio requirements, with experience in numerous pictures and knows photographic angles and technique, and a make-up expert who will prepare each of the candidates so that he will be given every advantage. Attempts will be made to register each point of his facial feature and personality, and to demonstrate ability to respond to surgested acting.
Immediately after the test the negatives will be shipped to the studios where they will be given immediate consideration, and an annotator will be made a few weeks after the visit here, as this is the final college.
The film company guarantees each man so selected eight weeks work at $50 a week. It also agrees to pay all transportation expenses to and from the studio and reserves the option to put the men under a sliding-scale contract which assumes the figure of $750 a week in the fifth year.

Specimen of Leafhopper Found in Wyoming Mountains
George Cady, c29, student in the entomology department here, has found a new specimen of the little yellow kafehopter.
Each year you live on vacation, Georce spends a share of his time in collecting specimens in which he is interested. Last summer he brought back over fifty specimens of the yellow leaf-hopper and among this collection was found a new specimen. Since new specimen collections have the bug was promptly called the "cadd" bug by Paul B. Lawson instructor in entomology.
George is the son of Prof. H, P. Cady of the department of chemistry, and the bug was found while the family was visiting Yellowstone National Park in the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming last summer.
George says he does not know quite how to take his namesake, but thinks it is all right as long as the spelling has been changed.

At present 45 men are employed on the building work.

Potter Lake Water Compares Favorably With City Supply. Student Bacteriologists Find
"Muddy Waters" might almost be taken as a myth if one were to judge by the results of tests taken by students of the bacteriology classes. Samples of water taken from the surface of Puffer like added bacteria counts ringing between two and five hundred bacteria per cable centimeter. A comparison with the recordst of the results shows that samples of drinking water used by some cities in Kansas have shown counts as high.
However, the total bacteria count is not an adequate basis of judgment, according to Prof. Earnest Boyer, a microbiologist at the head of the inspection laboratory. The must be based on also on the cell, he said. Even in this respect, the test taken by the students showed Futter cells as practically no cell were found.

The Daily of the University of Wisconsin is sponsoring a content entitled, "Do girls have to pet to be popular"
The low count is remarkable in view of the recent heavy rains and is caused by the fact that the sediment had been allowed to settle out, carrying the bacterin with it. Swimming in the lake will raise the count as the water is stirred up. The latter part of the week about fifty more-or-less surerances at the lake each month but they have spent little time in the water.
Prof. Charles S. Skilton, head of the theory and organ department, has just finished a book on "Modern Symphonic Forms" which on the press now and will be brought out by the Caixton Institute of Extension Education of New York City under the editorship of Dr. Edward Dickinson, of Oberlin, Ohio.

It should be ready for distribution soon.
The water in the pool in Robinson gymnastium has shown a lower bacterium count than the Lawrence city water. The last count showed about ten bacteria per cubic centimeter, with no cell present, according to Professor Boyce. Recent tests of the two batches of twenty and five hundred bacteria with no coli, which indicates a safe supply, according to Boyce.
Three student activity buildings, to cost approximately $750,000 have been recommended by the Texas board of agents for the University of Texa.
