(United Press)

Engineers' Inspection Trip to Have Chicago as Objective This Fall
Architecture Seniors May Not Take Annual Journey Until Spring
Chicago will probably be the objective of the annual engineers' inspection trip, according to Prof. F Ellis Johnson. The time of the trip will be the week before Thaians prepare plans are carried through.
Definite decision as to place and time will be made at a meeting of heads of departments next week. Dean P, F. Walker have returned from his trip to the East and Lincoln, Neb., by that time.
Seniors in the departments of civil engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, will make the trip to the airport. The architecture may not go at the same time or to the same place.
The architects may not go on their trip until spring. This will depend on whether seniors only make the trip, or whether a number of juniors are taken along also. If the juniors make the trip, the later it can come the better. The impossibility of arranging at different architects from those of the rest, even if the trips are made at the same time.
The inspection trips afford the eniors an opportunity to see the actual working of big industrial lants. They are guided through the dants by officials of the different companies, and the instructors who accompany them give them hints as o what to see, as well.
Last year the trip was made to St. Louis, returning by way of Columbia to see the game. The plan is for a return soon enough to see the game here

Open Wires Will Flash Big Game to Cheering Mob
Grid-Graph Arrangements Have Been Completed; Other Events Are on Program
When Coach Clark's "Blue Devil" plunge down the kick-to-kick on Saturday afternoon in the new Nissaka stadium and the crowd of Kanaa and Nebraska roots rise cheering to their feet, another team will join them for no loss, will start the fight for victory here in Robinson gymnasium.
everything that electrical wizards and modern science can do has been done to bring an instantaneous, play-by-play report of the big game to the rooters in Lawrence. The giant electric score board, recently purchased at a cost of $1250 by the gymnasium, is early Saturday morning. Open wires have been arranged for, and by 2. p. m. everything will be "all set."
And the graphic football game in the gymnasium Saturday is to be accurate. At the Nebraska end of the wire Harry Morrow, sport editor of the Kansas, will sit by the Western operator and help dictate the report.
Report to Be Accurate
Another Kansan man will be at the telegraph office here to relay the messages over the open telephone wire to the gymnasium and a third Kansan writer, experienced in handling telegraph copy, will take the report at Robinson. The grid graph expert will then flash the plays before he arrives. And all is the speed that the cheering in the gym here will seem like an echo of that in the new Nebraska stadium.
Every Play Shown
Only those who have seen the great electric score board in operation can realize what a real entertainment can furnish. In the center of the board is a model gridiron complete with five-yard lines and goal posts. Grouped about the field are the names of the players and their positions on the top are all the number of downs, the yards to go, and the score. At the bottom are terms which cover all possible plays.
When a play is made, a pass from Black to Griffin, for instance, the light which indicates a pass begins to blink, and the names of the two players who participated in the play are finished. The yards gained are shown by the projections on the grid graph. There is no comparison at all between the grid-graph and the old style "dummy field."
Boxing and Music for Fans
The grid-chart committee, in its desire to give the stage a chance to show their money," is arranging several other events for the Saturday afternoon program. It is thought that there will be boxing matches, music, and some short penalties against the boys being made to receive the scores on other valley games at the half.
"The new library will be completed some time in April or the first part of May," said W. B. Anderson, superintendent of the Neuman Construction office outside work done and the roof on in at least six weeks."
"Stone cutting is the main showing now," said C. G. Hamilton an engineer with the Neuman company. "Two gangs of stone cutters are kept busy, and each gang has a separate tool, so this is necessary because some of the heaviest pieces weigh two tons."
Work on Outside of New Library Progresses Fast
Homeless Cow kept by Police That a man can be a policeman and still be a dairyman is now being proven by the Lawrence police department. Added to its many duties the department has taken the responsibility of taking for a home-brewing cow. The refugee is be milked each day by hands made to carry and wield a night stick. The dairyman on the force is hoping that within the next few days the owner of the cow will start a search for the wanderer and find his way to the station to claim his own.

(United Press
A break in the relations between Saxony and Bavaria, arising from the antagonism between the "proletariat" government on the one hand and the reactionary monarchism on the other, heightened by the revolutionary utterances of Saxons, added to the tension of the situation.
National Dictator Gessler's dispalde of added troops to Saxony, where the elements of civil war fume, was interpreted here today as graceful exit from the central government's threat. Socialist threats of a general strike throughout the country if the government uses the army and state, uses them more easily. Along with this the antagonism of Stimmes and other big industrialists was thought to have left the government practically powerless.

Italian Composer and Organist Will Give Recital Here
Concert of Pietro Yon Will Include Some Selections From Three Local Musicians
Fietro A. Yon, Italian composer and organist of international reputation, is to give a concert at the Congregational church on Thursday,
Mr. You comes here after an extensive tour, during which he has played in all the principal cities of the country, and has been recognized as a genuine artist by press critics and others who have heard him.
Began Musical Study Early
Mr. Yon was born in 1886 at Piedmont, Italy, and began his study of music at the age of 60. He attended the Harvard Medical Milan when he was but fourteen. A few years later he entered the Academy of St. Cecilia in Rome, where he was graduated with full honors in organ, piano and composition. Later he was awarded the Medal of Honor and a special prize of the Italian Ministry of Public Instruction.
The concerts that Mr. Yon has played recently have consisted for the most part of his own composition, but they will also play three selections composed by people in this vicinity. Josephine Russell, fa23, Great Bend; Powell Weaver, Kansas City; and Powell Webb, edition of the School of Fine Arts.
Skilton Praises Organist
“Mr. Yon is an organist of high and remarkable achievement as a musician, and most importantly as the musicianist.” says Professor Skilton.
“He has a brilliant technique and a keen sense of how to make the organ effective as a concert instrument. There is nothing dry about his playing. His art is based on profound scholarship but he preserves umpolled, a sensitive image of what he has experienced and dramatic values, and the real artist's understanding of how to interpret for his listeners.”
While he is here, Mr. Yon is to be the guest of Prof. C. S. Skilton.

Financial Conditions Keep Chinese Girls From Attending K.U.
Eugene Gallo Advises Founding of Loan Scholarships for Foreigners
for the first time in the history of the University of Kansas, there is a Chinese girl on the campus. Of such great moment was this to Chinese in this country that Dr. Lawrence and discussed it with Dean Husband, Doctor Ho knows of half a dozen Chinese girls who want to come to the University of Kansas, but who do not have the money. If only he could find someone else to help fund or scholarships, he says they could come to the University.
"All scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit alone," said Miss Eugenie Gallo, chairman of the scholarship committee. "None has ever been awarded to foreigners, for only recently have they been on this campus and none have ever applied. If they should, and their merits were most deserving, it would be awarded to them. Two Chinese girls have come from Kansas City to see our schools, but at present we have only two small loan scholarships, one of $40 and one of $50. I think that it would be interesting to have a scholarship for foreign students only."
Doctor Ho in his talk with Dean Agnes Husband said of the Kansas campus just what Teh Chen Shih, our only Oriental woman student, says, "Chinese students want, to come to the University of Kansas because there is such a friend to me. The foreign student in intruder, but is welcomed to the campus, and can learn much more than just what is offered in classes."
"What foreign students can teach us is just as important as what we can teach them," says Marie Russ, secretary of the Y., W. C. A. "I am anxious to see more foreign women on the campas."
Results Fail Expectations
Y. M. C. A. Goal Falls Short $1500; Campaign Continues
About $1,000 of the goal set for the financial campaign of the Young Christian Association has been secured according to Shultz, secretary of the association.
Although the results have not come up to expectations, it is hoped that the goal of $2,500 can be reached, at least that a working fund sufficient for operating expenses can be raised. Mr. Shulz feels that the prevalent hesitancy to make a contribution on the part of the men of the University is due to the fact that they fail to understand the program of work planned for the coming year. He argues that the fact that it is not fair to judge the organization upon the work of the preceding few years because it was not adequately organized to carry on the program of work that was expected of it.
"The campaign for funds will be continued until a sufficient sum is obtained to enable the organization to operate in a worth while way," said Mr. Shultz this morning. "I believe that the present generation of students has an interest in the association, and that they desire to see an active organization at the University."
New Location for Rifle Range
Better location for the indoor rifle range of the R. O. T. C. has been found in the basement of Powder shops, the new home of the military unit. The rifle range of the Indian stock has been hindered herefore by the inadequate quarters and this new place will greatly facilitate rifle practice, according to Sergeant D'Ambra.

Tracks Sway Under Student Revelers Tonnage; "Stay Homes" Have Grid-Graph

Tracks Teem with Rooters
By the time that the trai-
rors into the north country arrived
on the scene, the tracks were lea-
ging with enthusiasm. We college stu-
tioned to show the team that
the University as a man was behind
it on its intrigued invasion of
the Cornhuskers' realm.
"To go or not to go" are the words that are on every student's tongue today. There is no doubt in the world that if railroad tickets were pushed through, pushes the whole University would be leaving for Nebraska on the special tonight. As it is the train will be loaded, and those who forgot to keep a tight grip on their phones game second-hand by grid-graph at the gym, Saturday afternoon.

Take heed that the following is not an ad for a clothing store but simply a word of honest-to-gosh precondition “Take along an overcoat, for the mercury is jumping around freezing and frostbite from Vell Leader Hamilton, “The game promises to be no enough if you are in your shirt sleeves.”
Leading in the revels on the special tonight will be the Pi Epsilon Pis, in other words the Ku Kub Ki Respondent. We are stocking the oyster stockings, on arriving at Cornhuskerville, they will leap forth to lead the parade up the Lincoln "drag," when the stirring notes of "Boo" crashed his Mac band should throw fear into contents of the doughy Cornhuskers.
