New Science Hall May Be Situated South of Fraser
K. U. Landscape Architec Favors That Location for Successor to Snow
Plans for the new science building to replace Snow hall are now in the making. H, H. Ball, superintendent of buildings and grounds said this morning. Mr. Ball is now working on proposals to be submitted to Herbert Hare, landscape architect for the University.
Mr. Haire believes there are only two places on the campus suitable for such a building. One is across the street from the Union building just north of Spooner-Thayer museum in Boulder. He faces the west of Blake hall. He favors the latter position because of the landscape effect that can be obtained.
Hare Gave Opinion
Before a final agreement several authorities must be consulted. After Mr. Hare gives his opinions as to the desirable situations, the state attorney on the location, Chancellor Lindley must then sanction it for the University, and finally the Board of Regents must give their consent. Thus for the University, Mr. Hare and Mr. Bell thinks it quite possible that location will be chosen.
FOUR PAGES
Tentative plans for the building call for four stories in front and five in the rear the difference being due to the slope of the Hill. These stories will be entirely above the ground, but a sub-basement underneath will be outside dimensions of the proposed building are 144 feet by 134 feet.
Can Increase Space
an force. One floor will be given over to each department located in the building according to the plans. The first floor will be taken over by the department of zoology, the second by the department of entomology, the third by the department of botany and the department of bacteriology will occupy the fourth. Each floor will have several small private research laboratories. The plants will increase an increase of 27 per cent floor space.
Needs of the department are being considered and include a freight elevator and room for the entomology museum of 350,000 specimens.
These plans are only proposals and no definite action of any kind has been taken.
An L-shaped building has been proposed with the north wing in line with Fraser and the east in line with Blake. The main entrance would be in the interior angle and have a stairway to the second story. Its security entrances would be located at each end and at the south end of the south wing.

Last Piece of Copy for Jayhawker Sent to Publishers Today
Beauty and Accuracy Keynotes of Book, According to
Packard
"Beauty with accuracy is the keynote of the 1927 Jayhawk," which goes to press April 12, according to Stanley Packard, first assistant editor of this year's book, Packard, who is in charge of the office while Clifford Anderson, editor, is "closing the book" in Kansas City, mated the copy of copy to the printer the afternoon. It consisted mainly of the index.
"Every bit of copy which is turned in is first edited and corrected, typed on copy sheets and re-edited and corrected, and sent to the printers who send back rough proofs which are in turn edited and corrected by three different persons to make sure that no mistake remain," explained Packard.
Editor Inspects Book
"After the proofs are corrected by the printer, the editor gives the book a type (type is used, that names are properly spelled, cuts have the right position and are the right cuts, and makes what changes in style or content that might be useful to make the book more beautiful.
"The editors who go over the copy and proof must be almost walking dictionaries of the campus." Packed data are hard to find, but almost every person's name on the Hill, know most of the people who appear in the pictures so that the identifications may be checked, and know how to write or change activity. We must know how to catch errors in all kinds of copy and know how to write or change every kind of copy from that of dramatics to real life. The big thing is to be accurate!
"The index will be a most complete one and will contain every person's name who appears in the book. Separate lists have been made of men, women, faculty, and organizations that are working every day for the last two months. Copies of the material put on copy sheets were saved and each name was looked up in the student library to number the member of the page nut beside it."
Packard, as well as John Foster, an assistant to the editor, is running for the editorial office in the spring election.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1927
Early Spawning of Fish Shows Spring Is Here
An early spring is indicated, according to the state game wardens. Fish are spawning in Kansas fifteen days earlier this year than ever before known. Ring catch of a killer shark was praised by Prairie Park van to snap April 11 is the report
Those who observed the inhabitants of the campus on the way to classes this morning needed no fish ponds to indicate to them that spring had arrived and that they were late once, the pace of the busy student was cut down to a plooding two miles per hour. Apace like that so early in the week means but one thing, according to the spring euthymics, that is the annual wave of meringue fever.
"The early activity of the fish rose false the predictions of last fall sat there would be no summer in 1927," said the warden.
Those who suffer from semenals at this time of the year have a week's respite with both the clue club and band gone on trips but the worst can be expected on their return. The campus stands quietly in the certain young men and women will assume that undefinable look which is a sure result.
Sororties at the University of Nebraska have decided to dispense with open house next fall.
Anyway, spring has arrived.
Norman Hackett Advises Dramatic Work in Colleges
"The theater has possibly enjoyed greater popularity in America, but it has not yet been recognized as it is in other countries," said Norman Hammond, the Green Hat company. He spoke for a brief afternoon in the little Theater.
Stage Needs Recognition as Well as Popularity in This Country, Saves Actor
"In other countries, including Germany, Russia, France, and Italy, the theater is recognized alongside of the state as a state institution," he said.
"Although, unfortunately, there is no municipal theater in America, drama here is not going to the dogs. At the present time it is simply passing through a stage of readjustment, brought about by external circumstances such as the Great War and the motion picture industry. It is only a temporary state, and the movies have at least eliminated bad conditions that would have been able to survive the competition," according to Mr. Hackett.
Tells of Theater Movement "The reaction to the reduced number of companies on the road has been the Little Theater movement which is known for its eccentricity and are now about three hundred and fifty Little Theaters in the United States.
which have been organized to satisfy the people's desire for drama. They do the best and latest of New York pints and thus keep alive the spirit drama.
"But what we need more than anything else in this readjustment," Mr Hackett explained, "is more work along dramatic lines in our universities. I have been sorry to see how slow colleges have been to take up the study of the drama.
W, C. Hall, senior accountant of the Kansas League of Municipalities, left at nont for Newton where he will attend the University's financial record for five years.
"There have been a few outstanding men who have taken up the work in this field. Unless we teach our young people in the universities the value of the drama, they will never succeed." More formal force and not just a show."
Hall Leaves for Newton to Complete City Audi
Although Mr. Hackett said he would not advice any young people to adopt the stage as a profession, because the supply is already far in excess of the demand, he feels that there is nothing else college training than dramatic work.
"The two most necessary things in any walk of life are personality and expression," he said. "And these can be accomplished by an dramatic work. To win success, you must be able to meet people without embarrassment, in full control of your faculties. Nothing will fit you for this kind of work." He platform and sneak before others."
The city of Newton recently adopted the City Manager form of government and will elect the first three commissioners will take office next week.
Mr. Hackett believes that there should be more training in voice culture in colleges and universities. "People express themselves, they
"I would like to make an appeal for a better use of pure speech," he added. "It is an outrage to hear our beautiful language mutilated as it is today. There is too great a tendency to cut short our words. Young men and women have an artificial frivolity, that it makes them careless in these things. Young people, trying to be 'collegiate' in their speech, do not realize the practical values of expression and good speech." In speaking of the art of acting its best, he said, "It should be God-given. Some of the greatest actors have little conscious knowledge of technique, he said. He named appearance, voice, and intelligence, but said that a good imagination was the most essential attribute for a good
The City Manager will then be employed. He is responsible for the proper administration, according to the local law, and the administration which is the legislative body.
Urges Pure Speech
Superior, Wis., April 5—Vigilance of the police who kept the Central high school grounds clear of loiterers today maintained the calm of 1,000 students. The students have been out three days, protesting the dismissal of Miss Luu Dickinson, English instructor. Sympathy of the parents of the children on the strikers, and meetings in ten wards of the city will add weight to the students' demand for Miss Dickinson's reinstatement.

"Babyl" *Frederick* and "Tike Kearney* K. U. Jayhawks have been added to the orchestra list of the Music Corporation of America, a Chicago company which has the largest known bands in the country. Acceptance of the Jayhawks came as a result of a tryst held last night in Wiedemann's grill room before Jules Stein, president of the Music Corporation of Chicago, gave a trip from Chicago to review the Frederick-Kearney aggregation.
George Bowles, who was graduated from K. U. in 1911, and who is the composer of "I'm a Jayahawk" was in Lawrence with Stein. Bowles is now in Kansas City, Mo., serving as positive for the M. C. A in that city.

Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A.
Conference for 1927
Has New Attractions
In Former Years, Time Limited to Meeting; New Plan Calls for "Day Off"
The Y. W, C. A, and Y. M. C. A student conference to be held at Eater Park, Colo., from August 23 to September 2, will have a number of new social and recreational features which will be attractive.
One new feature is the inauguration of a whole "day off" for the entire conference. No meetings will be scheduled, and the entire day will be free for social and recreational purposes. Organized bikes will be conducted to points of interest in the surrounding mountains. Long's Peak has ever been overlooked; there has not been time for an organized trip to its summit which is 14,221 feet. The privilege awaits the 1927 conference.
Can Take Trips
The longest trip, to Flat Top Mountain, is a good day's journey, every morning and every evening. On the Continental Divide, and on sliding down Andrew's Glacier in the most natural way possible. In the assembling there will be huge boulders.
Those who are less ambitious or vigorous may drive to Bear Lake, from where a score of assorted trails lead to points of picturequeen beauty and unvaried gran度. Short trips, as to Fern and Dream Lake, or to Loch Vale, are within the reach of anyone who can walk the distance.
Another new feature in this year's program is an arrangement whereby every student will naturally and easily be the larger number of other students. With 250 women and 200 men in attendance from half a hundred different colleges and universities, the chance for profitable friendship is apical.
Bigger Social Program
In our past, it has often felt that the institution fails to sufficiently facilitate the formation of friendships. This year, not only will there be more leisure and a more comprehensive social program, but provision is made whereby the research groups will plan social functions and arrange for short an evening at their homes, so friends will be left free so that they can be invited to these picnics.
Those who are interested in the possibility of attending the conference should are any of the following with the University Y. W. C. a, or the Y. M. C. a.
Evidence of Attempt to Swim Potters Found
Potter's lake again shows evidence of having been used. Barefoot prints are to be seen around the edges of the lake, but whether they were made by bathers or would-be-bathers is not known. It is probable that some daring "damed" thought she would be the first young lady to swim Potter's this year, and after having tested the water decided that it was still too cold.
Due to the recent rains, Potters lake is full but as soon as the mud settles it will be excellent swimming, provided the water isn't too cold. The diving board has withstood the ravages of winter and is in excellent condition. All work providing amusement for students and some faculty members.
Dean Raymond A. Schwegler, of the School of Education, will speak today at the Y. W. C. A. vesper service at 4:30 in Fraser chapel. The meeting has been planned out of the conference room, but Ms. C. A., for a similar meeting to follow Miss Burner's conference a few weeks ago. The previous conference showed relations between religion and psychology and the help that psychologists provide to students. Schwegler's subject will be "Psychology and the Christian Life."
Dr. Allen Secures Tarahumaras Men to Run in Relays
Mexican Official Attempts to Locate Girl Racers and Bring Them for Meet
A wire was received by Dr. F, C. Allen this morning from Carlo M. Peratula, president of regional education in the Tarahumare Indian tribe that had been secured to appear in the Kauai Relays here April 23. This announcement is authentic and will be a wire on a big musc, according to Doctor Allen.
An attempt is also being made to secure the Indian girl runners who appeared in the Texas Relays. President Peralta has dispatched runners and gymnasts of girls who are returning to their native homes in the state Chihuahua on foot. If these runners are able to bring the women athletes back to civilization in time to appear in the meet here they will also run a feature
No Course Decided Yet
No Course Decided Yet
No definite course for the men's race has yet been decided upon. They will walk the Kansas City City Club building in Kansas City on the morning of the Relays and may be routed along the river road which passes through De Soto or they may follow the Victory highway. If the latter route is used the runners will follow the dirt shoulder of the pavement and the distance will be in the neighborhood of fifty miles. The runners will travel eight kilometers ran more than eighty miles in the Texas meet.
If the women can be assured they will probably run from Topeka to Lawrence which is a distance of about twenty-five miles. These superattractives are only four feet, two inches long and most they can run 28 miles but only one, a 14 year old girl, was able to finish.
The appearance of these Indians will provide one of the most colorful events ever featured in a culturalway meet, declares Doctor Allen, who saw these naughty run at Texas. They would like an interpreter to explain "o them what they are to do."
Will Feature Relays
This feature is expected to swell the demand for seats at the Relays. The number sold to didi is far in excess of the number of previous attempts. An attempt is being made to make the annual event a spring homecoming and the alumni are entering into that spirit this year, states Doctor Allen. The event took on the appearance of a homecoming football game when Phil Delta Tha fraternity yesterday reserved a block of 50 seats for the annual event, the first of a number of organized groups that have declared their intention of giving the same co-operation to the relay committees.
Sour Owl Deadline Nears
Lunder-Ella Number Will Include Pop Gun Section
The deadline for the "Cinderella" number of the Sour Owl will close Friday April 8, according to Gig Graves, editor.
This issue will be the skith and last this year. Since it is one of the largest and most complete issues of the book, we expect it to receive for more copy than ever before, according to Graves, who urges that copy be handed in as soon as possible.
The "Pop-Gun" section will be included in the Cinder-Ella number. This section was not included in the last issue, and the demand from the student readers has caused it to befeatured again, according to Graves.
Sprague Is to Address Lawrence Reading Club
Miss Elizabeth Sprague of the Home Economics department, will give an address before the Lawrence Reading Club this afternoon, April 5 at 3 o'clock. Miss Sprague's group is "Legislation Affecting Women."
The same address will be given before the Business and Professional Women's Club Tuesday evening, April 6; 6:30 at the Thimble tea room.
