Architecture Seniors Compete in Drawing Plans of Observatory
Municipal Art Society Offers
Two Prizes; First $50,
Second $25
"A Municipal Observatory" is the subject for the competition drawing which the seniors of the department will present. The problem was sent out by the Beaux Art Institute of Design, department of architecture, in New York City, at a first prize of $60, and a second of $25 have been offered by the Muni-
The observatory is to be one less for scientific work than for the use of the general public as a center of instruction and interest. It is to have domes for refracting and reflecting telescopes, planetarium, lecture halls and rest rooms. The grounds surrounding it are also to be planned in detail. This problem makes up part of the regular class work of the students. It must be finished by May 9. Students in the junior class are working on plans for a moving pit theater. It is a class competition.
Winners of the sophomore competition sketch problem last Saturday are Edward Meisner, c',29 Charles Whitmire, c',28 Leslie Bury, c',28 Earl Hortorr, c'.29. The problem was a drinking fountain to be designed "en joke" within 9 hours after it was given out.
Railways to Give Prizes
Essays on Caution to Arouse
Need for Public Care
Prizes of $250 each for the three best essays on "Cross Crests Cali-
boniously" submitted by grammar, high school and college students, not later than June 1, will be awarded by the American Railway Association.
The essays must be tense, logical and constructive and must stress the need for greater care in approaching and passing over railway crossings, especially when the proper officer, is to select one essay and send it direct to the American Railway Association. The essays should not exceed 250 words. Concern over the increase in the number of highway grade crossing incidents that took place in 1955 and the belief that more care should be exercised by all those crossing railroad tracks, is responsible for the prize offer. The association will award a prize to the writer of the essay which contains outstanding readily available suggestions for preventing such accidents.
In 1928 there were 5,621 highway grade crossing accidents and in 1925 there were 5,407. Only through the co-operation of the public and the railroads can a reduction of such accidents be brought about, because the complete elimination of highway grade crossing accidents is available, according to the association.
Posters Show Scenes
Luring the Wanderer
With the coming of spring fever some students are afflicted with the lurge to travel. The tramp in each of the and spirit to roam from rooms native land makes itself apparent. With this thought in view one may learn that many students have admission of French and German poster on the third floor of Watson Library.
The French posters show some tempting pictures of Paris, Lyons, and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, also the Caterdale at Rheins and the north railroad which takes the traveler to the ground of France.
The German posters offer a picturesque landscape in old Hamburg, castles of Saxony and Hohstein, and the Bavarian Alps showing the Valley
There is a chance that these posters may prove to be an aid to anyone feeling the urge to travel and undecided in the choice of untried paths.
Local Petition Published in Socialist Newspaper
The action of a group of University students and faculty members in behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is reported in the New Leader, publication of the Socialist party, for March 26.
The petition urging recognition of the organization and falter and more humane treatment of sleeping car porters, which was sent to Edwin P. Porterson in the United States, is quoted at the end of the story.
This petition was circulated on the Hill at the end of last semester by Paul Porter, c28, and Clarence Session, c27, and was signed by 120 students and a number of faculty members.
Colored Slickers Now Brighten Campus on Dark, Gloomy Days; Hill Has Come Out of Mourning
At 7:30 this morning Mt. Oread was a bleak and rain swept desert, deserted and lonely, with only a light or two shining on the campus.
About 45 minutes later, it would seem as though the rainbow had spilled all its colors on the Hill, and that they were streaming down the sidewalks, yellow predominating, with brilliant reds, blues, greens, bright plains, shiny blacks, all shades of pink, and then some more yellow.
A rear view of this colorful procession, would give the impression of a panorama of animated sigmoids, with frisky hawks carrying cartoons from the jagged outposts to the jagged backs. Inscriptions of every kind accompanied the varied illustrations.
But this was not so in the "old days." Then the campus went into
geologists Will Visit Royal Gorge on Trip Which Starts June 6
Work to Be More Intensive
Than Before; Five Hours
Credit Given
The territory north of the Royal gorge and Cripple Creek will be under the observation of K, U, students this summer. W, H, Schowe, of the department of geology is to be the instructor.
Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico and Nebraska were visited during last year's trip but this year the trip is to be more intensive and most of their time will be spent in the Royal Gorges and Cripple Creek.
Mr. Schowe has placed on the land of the geology building a display of pictures which have been taken on previous trips. The pictures were drawn by Mr. Schowe, and the rocks illustrating the type of formation that was found in the different places is also on display. Mr. Schowe said, "It might be of value for the students interested in the geology building, but the trip is like and the places visited."
The date which has been set for the rip is June 6 to July 17. The number of the course is 80 and five hours are scheduled for the work done while on the trip.
Professor Schoewa said, "This is really a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in geology. It is hard to learn the way of hand than second hand." A map has been placed on the bulletin board of the geology building showing the tentive route and side trips. Pictures have been taken showing the location showing the place of the K. U. camp. The approximate cost of the trip has been figured out to be: $15.00, semester fee; $18.00, course fee; $26.00, tuition; ($50.00) board; $110.00 total.
Mr. Schowe said that applications or the trip were being received.
During the Easter vacation, students in the school of journalism at Northwestern will be sent to gain actual practice in newspaper work.

part of the necessary equipment of the student, and on rainy days, these amateur tests would appear an essential tool for testing the fill with the owner hidden underneath. These protectors were not of the sunshine variety, but were adequately wide, so that it was not adversely affected. Another was another on the ordinary sidewalk.
Still, it is said that there were advantages to these mournful looking affairs. There was easily room for two underneath, without crowding.
But on a morning like the present one, the few umbrellas that are seen are accompanied by bright stickers underneath.

Architects Hold Meeting
English architecture was the subject of the program at the meeting of the Architectural society in Marvin auditorium last night. Moving pictures from the extension bureau on "Motoring in England" were shown. These pictures were chiefly scenes but many were interior views of architecture. This is the second group of pictures from the burgee to be shown this year.
Professor J. M, Kellogg, of the architectural design department, spoke informally, giving reminiscences of England which were recalled by the pictures. He described points of particular beauty such as Salisbury and Welles cathedral, and answered questions which were naked by the fire. He also recalled that England several times, his last trip being made three years ago.
English Building Types Are Discussed on Program
Eugene Barke, uncle, president of the Architectural society, presided at the meeting. There was a short discussion on the topic. Engineer's Day and the Jambourne.
