Contractors Plan to Finish Stadium Before Next Fall
New Unit Is to Have Nin Sections; Foundation Is Three-Fourths Complete
The work on the foundation for the new unit to the stadium is about three-fourths complete, according to the contractors. The work has gone forward more rapidly than was expected and the constructors now plan to complete this structure before school re-opens next fall.
The sectional system of form building is being used. The new unit will be built in nine sections, each section forming a wall that narrows the next. Forms are now being placed on the west side and the contractors expect to begin pouring concrete about April 23. A steel reinforcement layer will elevate concrete to the forms.
Thirty men are now being employed in the work and the number will be increased to about forty when the concrete pouring is begun. The construction company is using a large Insley mixer, one of the fastest mixers.
Tower to Ornament Entrance
Total Capacity to Be 40,000
Sixty-foot towers will ornament the entrance which will resemble somewhat the entrance to the Hackall stadium. Provision is made for ticket vending machines which will provide rapid handling of the crowd attending games.
The new section will provide 15,000 additional seats and bring the total capacity to about 40,000 persons. The farthest seats will be about 250 feet from the playing field. Most of the new section will provide ample view of the field.
The construction work will not interfere with the Kansas Relays, according to the contractors. The entrance will be cleared and if necessary work will be suspended the two days before the competition will begin in earnest and the builders expect to make an impressive showing before the spring term of school ends.
Lapp Addresses Classes Sociology Students Hear Social Workers' President
"Present-day tendencies to go back to extreme individualism are laying a groundwork for some kind of explosion which can be averted only by the development of a discipline, D. Aappen A., Lapp, president of the National Conference of Social Workers, in a speech before a combined meeting of sociology classes this morning. "If we press the theory of the survival of the fittest, some form of extreme individualism, which will lead to the establishment of socialism or other extreme form."
"The alternative is comprehensive social action to provide for the 'unfit' and to create a social order that is just. Such an order can be achieved by providing a producer of a plan of social insurance, along with which must go a steady advance of collective ownership. Public ownership will gradually be extended, because it is not within the genius of our people, but should be subject to control by others.

"Our principle should be not the survival of the fittest, but the fitting of as many as possible so that there is no fear of social revolution," Doctor Lapp concluded.
Henry Ford Will Appear When His Name Is Called
(United Press)
Detroit, Mich., April 12.—Henry Ford will address in the Federal Court at the Ford-Sapiro libel suit, when his name is called, the United Press was informed today by a member of his legal staff.

Just how long Ford will be on the stand was uncertain, the attorney said, but he added he did not believe it would exceed five minutes and the asking of more than the questions in court."

Nations May Reach Decision on Problem of Naval Personne
British Spokesman in League Willing to Accept French Limitations
(United Press)
Geneva, April 12.—The powers which uncompromisingly disagreed yesterday regarding the primary consideration of limitation or reduction in naval armaments were almost able to agree today upon the secondary considerations of the Cecil, British spokeman on the League of Nations Preparatory Disarmament Commission, rejected the French suggestion for a basis of naval limitation yesterday but today by means of legislation for limitation for naval effects.
Hitherto Britain has opposed any such limitation. Cecil said that Britain recognized the logic of the French arguments that unless there was a limit of naval personnel, vast numbers of warships must be maintained in time of peace and for use on land in time of war. Cecil stipulated that where naval effects belonged to the Dominion, the latter must decide themselves whether to accept limitation. Hugh S. Gibson, representing the United States, said the United States was still opposed to limitation of naval personnel.
Leadership in naval disarmament had passed from the League of Nations to the United States. The change resulted from the decision of the Preparatory Disarmment Commission yesterday that agreement was impossible between the French and American point on naval limitation or reduction.
It was generally admitted after disagreement not only that all naval limitation or reduction progress to date had resulted from the Washington conference, but that all immediate progress must rest exclusively from the forth coming Coolidge conference. Thus since the league has linked the national capital to naval or reduction all progress by the League in any of those fields is checked until the Coolidge conference is heard from.
The commission probably will ad journ next week.
Former Cafe Owner Dies
Bricken Heart Disease Victim This Morning
E. C. Bricken, former proprietor of the Oread cafe, died at his home in Lawrence of heart disease early this morning.
Mr. Bricken has been manager of the Elk's club since he sold his interests in the cafe last winter, and had to leave after that. The seriousness of his condition was not known, however, and when he complained of feeling ill yesterday aftermon, little concern was felt by his team according to J. W, Bricken, his father.
Professor Alfred Adler, of the Pedagogical Institute of Vienna, speaking at the University of Michigan said that contrary to the general belief, the feeling of inferiority is a benevolent influence on mankind and causes people to set goals for themselves and therefore make progress.
Mr. Bricklen was perhaps better known to the alumni of Kansas than to the present student body because he founded his business 13 years ago and conducted it, with one interruption, until last winter.
Definite funeral arrangements have been postponed awaiting the arrival of various members of the family.

Distribution Date of Jayhawker Is Reset for May 18
Anderson and Kroh Return
From Printers Friday
and Report Final
Checking
The Jayhawk will be out May 18, according to Cliff Anderson, editor, and be ready for distribution at that time. The previous date for distribution was May 10, but due to delay in cuts and a rush on the part of the printers, the date has been set for May 18.
Anderson and Kroh returned from Kansas City Friday, after spending three days there attending to the final preparation of the book. During this time the proof was read twice and all corrections were made. With a final decision from Kroh and Anderson, the book was placed in the hands of the Haven Printing company, ready to be "run off."
"The humor section is twice as large as last year," said Anderson, "and it is the agreeable opinion of the printers that it is the best humor section that they have ever seen in the history of comics." The material is exceptionally good and the cartoons that were obtained from the leading cartoonists are said to be the best in the history of the book. "This section is expected to afford great amusement and although I have read it several times, each time I get a "kick" out of it," said Anderson. "We're going to have everyone will more than enjoy it."
The beauty section is to be run off in a brown double tone ink which will give it color and life and a rich beauty to the section. Other sections will display this color scheme on "plain" main pages and the faculty members.

Rosenow Leaves Long Psychological Research Record at University
One of First to Oppose Theory of Continuous Quotient of Intelligence
Curt Rosenow, associate professor of psychology at the University, who leaves this year to become a biomedicalian in an newly organized research institute in New York, was one of the first psychologists to oppose the theory that the intelligence of children is determined by the life of the individual, according to Prof. Raymond Wheeler, of the department of psychology.
Doctor Rosenow has written some ten scientific articles during his stay at the University which Professor Wheeler considers noteworthy contributions to the field. These articles deal with abnormal psychology, systematic psychology, and the application of statistical methods to intelligence testing. His most recent article on "Meaningful Behavior" advances a new theory of hypothesis.
Doctor Eisenow came to the University of Kansas as an assistant professor in psychology from the University of Chicago in the fall of 1920 and became associate professor in 1923. He received a degree of Sciences degree at Michigan University in 1877 and his Ph. D. from Chicago University in 1917.
It was at the suggestion of Doctor Rosenow that the intelligence test was first used in connection with the entrance of freshmen here at the University. He was in charge of the test for some five years.
