Mystic Rites End Annual Exposition of K. U. Engineers
Exhibits Attract Hundreds of Spectators; Dean Feels Success Is Marked
FOUR PAGES AND MAGAZINE
The University of Kansai engineers closed their exposition at noon Saturday with a ceremony initiating as honored ligament of the King Knuft work in preparation for and carrying out the plans of the exposition.
The ceremony pretended to be that of King Khufa, builder of the largest of the pyramids, rewarding the best achievement of the pyramid. King Khuha, who died before the completion of the structure, returned in spirit to the kings who commanded the builders and resisted the men recommended by them.
Swanson Plays Khufu
King Khuft was played by Paul Swanson, e27; chief architect and侵袭, Iimptored by Herbert Pennington, e27; King Khafre by W. L. Miser, e27; King Peni by Lloyd Mier, e27; King Zoser by C. T. Thee, e28; King Chesapeake by J. R. Wilson, e29. Those men were also made members of the Order of Khafre.
King Khafre was the highest of all chiefs, and to those he recommended were intruded the word and symbols in King Kafre's name; free. Next was the order of Pepi, followed by the order of Zoser. Those men of King Tetrara no honors were given, but a certificate by the king of the Lower Regions.
The men were "razzed" for their idleness and King Tetrata was sent away. Tetrata offered certificates to all who would claim one. Homer Dede, e27; was the only one to step forward. He was later made a Khafre as well. Members of the lower orders are eligible to promotion later.
Tradition Is Begun
In this ceremony the engineers have found a method of rewarding deserving workers distinct from the usual plan of other schools in having Saint Patrick as patron. They hope to make this ceremony a tradition to replace that of Saint Patrick at K. U.
The crowd, which was the biggest ever attracted, was estimated to have reached 2,000 at 9 p. m., Friday as she exhibited the exhibit Saturday morning.
Dean P. F., Walker was well pleased with the whole exhibition. "The models and exhibits that many people consider only novelties and playthings are representative of real scientific study," he said. Many of them are used by the students in their regular laboratory work.
Prizes Are Awarded
Those men entrusted with the sacred symbol of the order of Khafre were: E. E. Sewartson, H. D. Stollenburg, H. A. Harmon, H. D. Stollenburg, Franklin, E. A. Meisner, F. R. Wheeler, Francis McKenna and Hopper Dedo.
The prize for guessing the strength of the wooden beam tested at the strength of materials laboratory was won by C. E. Miller, e29. L. W. Miller, e27, guessed closest to the strength of the concrete beam, and W. J. Horning, e30, came nearest to the strength of the pasteboard box.

School of Religion's Survey Finds Courses Valuable to Students
Approximately sixty-three per cent of the former students of the School of Religion have found courses in religion to be of a great course.
Data Received Will Determine Method of Instruction Next Year
The School of Religion recently sent out 500 questionnaires to many former students whose addresses were known. According to Dean S. R. Braden 40 per cent have replied and others are constantly coming in each day. In reply to the emails, 36 per cent indicated the course to be of great value, 36 per cent of average value, and one per cent of no value.
The educational policy of the school has been to offer standard courses in the field of religion, and from time to time tests its work through corner courses. The school also asks students to check up on the value of the work, questionnaires are sent not only to missionaries, ministers and teachers, but also men and women engaged in various enterprises of life.
The School of Religion is completing its sixth year and five of the annual courses, which has been given for religious subjects.
Some of the replies as to the value of courses were as follows: "That religion be required for graduation." "Religion is very valuable in the teaching of history." "It is very 'allowable in the information derived.'"
Miss Woodruff Returns
With two exceptions of the replies all would have taken more religious education than one, and suggestion was volunteered that a major in religion be provided. Others did not consider three hours of work adequate in view of the nature of their job.
In reply to the types of courses that interested students these were suggested; history of religion, history and literature of the Bible, teaching of the Bible, religious education, and church history.
"The data glued from this survey will be used in near future in determining the course of instruction during your year," said Dean S. B, Braden.
Senior Deadline Extended
All seniors who wish invitations are urged to order them before the deadline, as this will be their last chance to do so. The invitations are to be engraved by the Star Engraving Company, Houston, Texas.

Engineers Produce Silk by Treating Wood Pulp
How to make ladies' skirt dresses from tree trunks was demonstrated at the engineering exhibit yesterday. Real silk, these chemises say, is an animal product and is of a protein nature, while the artificial variety is not really silk at all, but merely has some of the characteristics.
Rayon, an example of the artificial silk which they will make, is of vegetable origin, since it is made from cellulose.
The "fiosse" process of making this fabric was used in the demonstrations presented at the engineering exhibit. This process involves the treatment of wood pulp with caustic soda. It is then dissolved in carbon bisulfide, which causes the formation of the fiosse solution.
This thick, syrup solution is then forced through little offices under great pressure. These offices are also by magnifying. They can only be seen by magnifying.
Goldsmith to Washington
Out of these holes come tiny threads of the fiscoes solution. A bath of acid hardens the thread and forms a fiber which has the diameter of a fish bone. This fiber is then spun into thread and woven into artificial silk, which may be dyeed in any manner desired. The resulting silk has a higher luster than the natural variety, but has a stronger, more strength, especially when wet.
Head of Architect Department Attends Convention
Prof. Goldwin T. Goldsmith, head of the department of architecture, will leave for Washington, D. C. the last of the week to attend a series of meetings of the leading architects of the country, culminating in the convention of the American Institute of Architects, May 11, 12 and 13.
The board of directors of the Institute, of which Professor Goldsmith is a member, is to meet May 6 and 7. This meeting will be immediately attended by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, May 9 and 10.
Professor Goldsmith is vice-president of the Association and at the meetings will preside in the absence of President F. H. Bosworth, dean of the Cornell School of Architecture. Professor Goldsmith will return to the University May 16 following the close of the convention.
Geology Students Visit Landslide at Corbin Hall
Students in the department of geology recently studied a typical landslide in miniature at Corbin hall recently. The protracted period of rain loosened the sod, which had been laid on a sloping surface of Lawrence shale, and caused the surface to slide. According to geology students, much difficulty has been experienced here because of the prevalence of shale on the sloping sides of the hills. One example of a creep or extremely gradual slope is the street where, in many places, the retaining walls have bulged, sidewalls have slipped an building foundations have cracked.
Professor Kast Heads Discussion
The German Club will meet Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in room 313 Fraser. The program includes lecture and conversation, Professor Kast, sponsor of the club presiding.
Students who take Journalism courses at the University of Minnesota, will have a chance to go to Europe. A European tour for this purpose will leave Quebec, June 18 and return September 3.
NOTRE DAME TIES WORLD RECORD IN UNIVERSITY QUARTER MILE RELAY AT FIFTH ANNUAL KANSAS GAMES

Nine Scholarships Are Offered Each Year From Treasury of A. A. U. W.
Nine Scholarships Offered
She discussed the rating of school and universities, dividing them into elementary, adolescent, advanced education, and finally, a new division parental education. She emphasized that students should learn to pay the paucity in the progress of society.
Doctor Reinhardt explained that the purpose of the A. A, U. W. was primarily to develop the individual, and that it stood, as an organization, for the A. A.
A reception by the University of Kansas for members of the American Association of University Women was held at 8:30 Friday evening. The evening's program consisted of a vocal solo by Mrs. T. A. Larroneh and an address by Dr. Arunel Henry Hardi, president of the Association.
Concerning the nationalization of the organization, Doctor Reinhardt said one eight of its capital goes to support the fellowships, of which there are nine offered annually. The purpose of these fellowships is to broaden American influence and education. Scholarship was a further addition in Reinhardt's talk, in which she discussed only the value of research work.
At the afternoon meeting in central Administration building, Doctor Reinbach addressed the delegates to a discussion of the problems of the University in an informal talk.
Her talks stressed the idea that young women in college should learn not only to analyze criticism but also should learn to build upon the foundation of their college experience by understanding of their "analyza-ation of criticism."
A tea for the delegates to the convention and senior women was held previous to the afternoon talk by Doctor Reinhardt.
Professor of German to Travel
One world record equalled, four Kansas Relay records smashed and a record crowd of about 10,000 persons are the plain results of the Fifth Annual Kansas Relays held at Memorial Stadium field Saturday afternoon. But the performances of nearly a thousand athletes held more than that for the spectator despite the chilling east wind and lack of the warm sunshine so characteristic of the Kansas Relays heretofore. Thrilling races and feats in the weight class, and most remarkable of all, the endurance run of the Tarahumara Indians from Kansas Cify and Topeka, were his treat.
Professor of German to Travel
Prof. A. M. Sturtevant, of the department of German languages, expects to spend the summer visiting northern Germany and Copehagen, Oslo, Oslo-Copenhagen and Sandwichia. He will also visit Iceland, if possible, where he hopes to collect sagas, pro literature founded on fact and romance.
Through the American consul in Norway, Professor Sturtevant was admitted to the Society of Norwegians, due to his activities in America, although he is not a Norwegian, him-

The fast Notre Dame quarter mile relay team tied the world's record of 41.6 seconds. The quartet was composed of Riley, Eiley, Reilly and Della Marin. The fleet Haskell Indian two-mile college relay sound of Roberts, Oelf, Walking and Manual, broke the time with a time of minutes, 2.3 seconds.
Four relay runners from Galesburg, Illinois, smashed the meet record of eight minutes, 30 seconds, by eight seconds better time. They are Codoroth, Schroeder, Murphy, and Schroeder. Iowa State with Conger running the meet record. Other title it. It was the smashing their own university class two-mile relay record of 1925 with the faster time of 7 minutes, 33.9 seconds.

His distance was 141 feet, 4.3-4 inches.
Meet Starts Promptly
The first heat of the 120-yard high hurdles started promptly at 1:30. The sky was overcast with light haze. A slight east wind was blowing across Memorial Stadium field. The field was a colorful scene with athletes from 66 universities, colleges and junior colleges in bright coloured suits warming up on the cinder walk. A pitcher was placed on a table on the east side of the field. They were enough to tempt any athlete or relay team.
About 10,000 persons watched the Rolals. The west stadium was well filled. A group of about 150 Haskell Indian women came in file and took seats under the dome until afternoon the crowd was shivering under a heavily overcast sky and the thermometer stood at 52 degrees.
Indian Comes in Early
At 2:10 a Tarahumara Indian marathon runner rounded the corner of Fourteenth and Massachusetts. Eyes turned toward the Pines where the endurance runners were to cross before coming into the Stadium through the south gate. He needed help. He entered the stadium at 2:15. Rodezuit ran around the truck with Jose Torres, the first to finish. He ran, easily, finishing the last 100 yards with a sprint. Torres all the way from Kansas City Athletic Club, a distance of 51.2 miles, in 6 hours, 49 minutes, 9 seconds. Torres then turned and seconded to enter the south gate. He finished about seventeen minutes later. His time was 7 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds.
Indian Woman Third
Lolita, Tarahumara Indian woman runner, running from Topeka, was third to emerge from the pines behind M. Oread. She bore a letter from Governor Paulen. Her sister Jauntia Caruarte, dropped and a half miles out of Lawrence, on distance from Topeka was 30.6 miles.
The third runner from Kansas City was a Manee cave dweller from the Chihuahua mountain caves. He entered the chicker track just as the college half-mile relay race was in progress. He looked around, saw a group of runners parsing him, he began to sprint. Although having run 50.5 miles, he kept abreast of the distance man for more than a quarter lot.
IOWA State two-mile relay team set a Kamas Rangel record for that event i in the time of 7 minutes, 53.9 seconds. Couger showed true form as an anchor tandem and finished seven vardes ahead of the field.
Peters of Kansas placed second in the broad jump with a distance of 22 feet, 6 inches. Everringham of Iowa, with a leap of 22 inches, 7-12 inches,
