J. Ward Lockwood, A. B. 16, who has won nation-wide fame in the lists of young artists, now has his paintings on exhibition at the Conrad Hug art galleries in Kansas City, according to an announcement in the Kansas City Star. "His paintings are sources of numerous praises and compliments by the Kansas City public, as they have been wherever they are shown," report the gallery's paintings, and it is due to the group on display that he has been marked as one of the most prominent of America's young artists.
After graduating from the University with the class of 1916, Mr. Lockworm enlisted and was sent overseas where he was in active service until the end of the war. He served as an aid to Major General Winn. At the end of the war he spent a year of intensive study in Paris, after which he came back to the United States to his study in Taos, New Mexico, in an artist colony. It was in this colony that his greatest work was accomplished.

Giant Research Telescope Will Be Installed at Harvard College Observatory in South Africa
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 26. —The largest telescope in the southern hemisphere, an instrument exceeded in size by only two others in the world, will be in operation at the new South African station of the Harvard College observatory within the two years, it will amass a billion images by a director, director of the observatory. The contract for this giant research instrument has just been awarded to a firm in Pittsburgh, Pa., that has made many large telescopes, including the 72-inch reflector at the Dominion Observatory, Victoria, B.C., the world's second largest. The new Harvard telescope is in which a concave mirror 60 inches in diameter replaces the convex lens of the more familiar, or refracting type. The mirror faces the star, and as it is concave, the light rays converge after being reflected from it. They are reflected to the side of the instrument by a mirror brought to a focus on a photograph plate, or an eyepiece, if the "elescope is being used visually."
So far, the exact site of the new station has not been decided, but it will be somewhere in the Union of Islands, in Orange Free State. Bleizonfonte, is being given serious consideration. Since 1890 the Harvard Observatory has operated a branch of the university studying stars and other celestial objects

Each House of Commons Vote Costs Sixty Dollars
London, Feb. 25.-Each vote taken in the House of Commons costs about $60, according to an estimate recently made by a member of the House.
The costs in "divisions of the House," as the votes are known here, are figured on the time lost in the tedious cumbersome process.

that never rise above the horizon of northern countries. However, as cloudy weather handicapped the observation from Peru for a large part of each year, the high plateau of South Africa were found to be bet-tered and worked the year round. The instruments from the Peruvian station are now being prepared for moving by Dr. John Kapevapoulos, who has been in charge for the last four years.
During the 151 working days of the last session of the House there were 553 votes taken so Parliament was raised bill of £279.70
an an uncharged bill of $33,780.
Besides having the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere, the new Harvard station will probably be the most completely equipped southern observatory. However, the telescope proved successful in the operation of the Peruvian station; the programs of research will be made in Cambridge, and the photographic plates taken will be shipped to Cambridge for study. The images filmed in the observatory's large collection.
The big reflector will be used particularly for taking photographs of the southern stars and nebulae, and for studying their brightness, and the spectra obtained when their light passes through them. Such work as this can best be done with a large reflecting telescope, and as no instrument of this kind has previously been erected in the southern hemisphere, many of these objects can now be studied for the first time.

Alumnus Who Does Not Yearn for Olden Times Takes Note of Improvement at University
A prosperous looking man, about forty years old, walked to the porch of a sorority house, yesterday, and greeted two girls who had not wanted to know whether K. U. girls were any better looking than they were 14 years ago, when he was in school. His decision to have had brought a great improvement.

He found the University, as well as the town buildings greatly changed, so much so that he felt like Rip Van Winkle told me there were no new except Spencer Thayer, Snow hall and Fraser ball. The most noticeable change was that the town was building out west. Fourteen years ago, Tennessee street was the main lodging place for students and the location of most fraternities in town. Student boaters "bung out at "Vics" on Massachusetts streets. Just at that time four girls, chal in knickers, went past the house. The man straightened up and a smile played across his face as he said, "girls walking out in the street in Kansas," and the student pulled from school so fast that a train would not have been fast enough to take them home.
"At one time a girl from the east enrolled in school. She wore her dresses just an inch above her shoes and the unfortunate was ex

Activity Ticket
In the office of Dean F. M. Dauwen, men's student adviser, it was learned that the plan of combining the activity ticket tee with enrollment tickets would be due to a misunderstanding of details of the plan. Objections came mostly from working students who found it inconvenient to raise so much money for their classes. They understand, however, that the purchase of an activity ticket was not compulsory and that exemption cards were issued without question to all who asked for the examination sites listed on the booklet at be time paid only $4.50.
The increase in the number of sales is due largely, according to Kroh, to enterprise system by which 515 subscriptions were gained at the time of enrollment. Kroh thinks the plan a success at least as far as the Jayhawker office is concerned.

Some of the students instigated a moon light dance at Ecke's Hall and although there was plenty of light at the party they were called up before the Dean on account of the name of the girl, and were almost expelled from school.

At the time he was in school an old clothes man was always stationed at the foot of Fourteenth street, crying his wares and as the boys went to school they would jest with him. One day they noticed an old man standing on the corner in an old suit and hat and as they passed them he smirked at him. That morning he volunteered, Price, the ambassador from Great Britain spokes, and they recognized him as the same man who had been standing on the corner. Presently he turned to leave and, thankening the girls profanely for listening to him, he said, "When you come back here in 15 years to visit your Alma Mater, and find all friends gone, I will appreciate what I mean when I say that I enjoyed talking to you."

Jayhawks Retain Valley Leadership by Nebraska Win
Burton and Petersen Star in 34 to 25 Victory; Score at Half Was 14-14
(Special to the Kawagai)
Lincoln, Nebo, Feb. 26—The University of Kansas maintained its position at the top of the Missouri Valley conference basketball race by defeating the powerful Nebraska Cornhoppers, 34 to 25, here tonight.
The game was fast from the start and found the teams on even terms up to the last ten minutes of the game when the team won with an substantial lead and another step toward the sixth consecutive Valley championship.
Burton, Kansas guard, got the game under way in the first few minutes of play by securing a basket. Burton scored and had his lethargy and they proceeded to roll up eight points before Burton, who was playing a whole of a game at guard, was fouled and made 8 to 3 for Nebraska. Smith then caged a long goal and Kansas took time out. The Jayhawks apparently hit his stride after the rest for three minutes before favor just before the half ended.
An over-anxious Kansan then fouled Androness, who tied the knot at 14 all with a free throw as the 'self ended.
Kansas Piles Up Lead
This sport seemed to take the drive out of the Black-coached team and from then on the Jayhawks gradually pulled away to a substantial lead of 31 to 25. As a climax the Kansans added three points by a field goal and a free throw in the last few minutes.
Page and Brown opened hostilities in the second half by caging two goals in a row putting the Huskers in front. Kansas, led by Schmidt and Peterson, then got started and when half of the second period was over the score stood 20 to 20 in "Kannan favor."
The game revealed the Kansas team in top form after two rather mediocre performances, recently against Washington and Grinnell. Schmidt, who was in a playing shampoo for several weeks, seemed to regain his old doldom and played a great floor game as well played seven points for the writers.
Peterson high point

The victory places Kansas in undefeated possession of first place and pushed the Huskers out of the top eight. Kansas needs only to defeat Missouri to win the championship on a percentage basis as the Tigers have already won 34 games.

A survey of the fraternities and sororities at the University of Wisconsin showed that 20 per cent of the rooms of the fraternity houses and nine per cent of the rooms of sorority houses were unoccupied. In 63 fraternity houses with a capacity for 1,531 men, there were 1,318 men living in the dormitories. The sororities showed a better average, for of the 26 sororites with rooms for 544 women, there were 504 occupants.
