Lutz First Student to Get Airplane Mai
Wilfred Lutz, c26, is probably one of a very few if not the only student at the University who has received mail by airplane.
When U. S. airplane No. 2 circle low over Lawrence last Saturday noon, people watching it little knew that it was searching for a student waving a white flag on the ground. After a crisp plane dropped a small parachute with a small box attached and speed away to the east.
Latz was instructed to wave a white flag, but because the letter from the aviators was delayed, he knew nothing about the plane until the parachute and package were delivered to him by a small boy who had recovered them from a tree on the campus.
The plane was piloted by Liient. Paul Williams and Serg. Lescalls, who were on their way to the National air meet at St. Louis, Mo. The aviators wrote that in all probability they would change planes in St. Louis and would fly a much larger one back to Sacramento, Calif. They expect to make a stop in Lawrence on the return trip and visit Latz.

Site of Union Building Depends on Soil Tests Made North of Dyche
Executive Committee Confers With Architects About
Location
Tests of the soil on the hillside north of Dyce Museum will be made before the location of the Union building will be finally decided upon. It is generally conceded by members of the Memorial Corporation that assurance about the foundation should be given a great deal of attention
The committee composed of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, Irvine Hill, W. J. Baughartner, associate professor of zoology, were authorizing a team to make a contract with Cond & Cond, architects of Chicago who will probably work in conjunction with Goldwin Goldsmith, head of the department of architecture, for the final completed plan of the Union
The earliest possible date on which the preliminary plan could be submitted would be three months from this date. The completed schedule would possibly be finished in six month's time. The contract has not been definitely closed and is that as such summer the hope of specificifications will be in such form that advertising for bids may begin.
The executive committee has taken no action on the site so far. Irving Cond, who spent Sunday in Lawrence as the grest of Chancellor Lindley, went over the campus looking for a possible location:
Mr. Cond was the architect who designed the Michigan Union, a building which houses a club for men. Mr. Cond was graduated from the University of Michigan and played on that institution's first football team.

"The pretended election is illlega and I will refuse to accept its results," the governor said. "I am willing to allow the issue to go before the people in a fair and legal election when an opportunity is had, as regulated by law to present the issue to the voters."
Walton issued a call for a special election for Dec. 6, when he said the people could vote without sight of fire or to assemble to assemble a call from the governor.

"The Cat and Canary" Opens Theatrical Run at Bowersock Tonight
mystery Play Staged Thirty Six Weeks in Chicago Last Season
If you were alone in the musty bedchamber of a haunted house—
And preparing to spend the night in the bed in which your grandfather had died—
And none of the furniture had been touched for twenty years—
And you had been warned of glare on the windows, huntsie loose in the neighborhood.
And you had been hearing funny noises—
An Icv hand-
And just as you drapped off to sleep—
The thrills of "The Cat any the Canary" are better experienced than read about but it can be said that with the foregoing outline as a starter they multiply as the show proceeds. Without disclosing the eventual surprise, the audience first meets a group of six seated in a row. They watch an act of an eccentric millionaire who had died twenty years before to the minute. The proceedings carried out according to his wishes develop the fact that the heroine is to be the heiress provided she spend the night in her grandfather's bed and show no sign of insanity in the morning. It is by design a creepy tale involving sliding panels, a hidden necklace, and an old servant who communes with the ghosts in the walls and a man who vanishes before your face to turn up murdered.
Incidentally, in its various careers in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and London, "The Cat and the Caterpillar" has been one of its audiences in hysterical shrieks.
The company coming to the Bowersock, Tuesday Oct. 2, is the one that played at the Princess Theater, Chicago, thirty-six weeks last season. It includes Emily Tafu, Mike ball, John Balfour, Stuart Cliff, Cliff Anne, William Macauley Anne, Sutherland, Sus Van Duzen, and Gwynn Gordon.
Van Knows Pigskin and Rabbitskin Game
"You wait until Saturday, then you'll see what I think of the football team," said Van, the animal man, as he led Mari, the bacteriology sheep, off to her lunch. Van is one of the most constant fans that the football team has, and each year he prophesies the outcome of the season.
"We won't win just that game, either. We win ev-er-y one. You see. I don't know wh o the stars will be. I haven't watched the team enough this fall, but we win ev-er-yame. You see."
"Do you ever watch the men practice, Van?" asked a student as he surreptitiously placed behind a bush a bag Van had dropped.
"I watch the team practice always," replied Van. "Got to watch 'em to see how they are working. You watch 'em, too, and you'll say what I do. We win ev-ev ev- ev- ev. Game. Rabbit in there. Cost you a dollar if it's dead." finished Van indignantly as he searched for the hidden animal.
