Studios and Lecture Rooms Opened When Classes Are Consolidated
The design department of the School of Fine Arts was moved at the beginning of the semester to its new campus in the heart of the west wing of the Administration building. Formerly the classes of the department were held in four buildings.
All of the five studios and lecture rooms on the third floor of West Ad are now used by the design department. The handcraft classes which include stenciling, embroidery, batik, metal work, silver smithing, and book binding, were formerly located in the shop shops, and now occupy the north room of the third floor in West Ad. Elementary design, which formerly met in East Ad, is now held in the central room on the west side of West Ad. The pottery and clay modeling classes have been moved from Haworth hall, but the kiln for the pottery has been moved in the basement of Haworth hall.
Advanced design classes under Rosemary Ketcham and technique of Commercial Art under Houghton Smith have been moved from East Ad. to West Ad. The Method Art classes are held in the elementary design room since they were moved from their former location in East Ad. The south west room will be used for a reference room and for exhibits. The office will be used for office work and the south end of the hall in West Ad.

The studies are not all completed yet, though they have been in use since the beginning of the semester. Dean Swarshout of the School of Nursing will spend his rooms to get them completed and adjusted as soon as possible.
Repairing Club Driveway
Favorite Place for Parties to Be More Accessible
The Country Club driveway is being required. The road has been in bad shape since it was first built and the fact that it is being required will, no doubt, be gratifying to the many persons who have had to drive through the mud on rainy days to get to the club house.
The road is about two-fifths of a mile long and extends from the fort-to-fort highway. It is being oiled and rolled and later will receive a coat of gravel and then be oiled again.
University students who give parties at the Country Club or for any other reason go out there, need not worry new about getting stuck in traffic and a good press pushing the out of the mud as many did last year.

(United Press)
Casper, Wyo., Sept. 28—Rescue of additional survivors today from the wreckage of Burlington train No. 30, which plunged through a bridge fourteen miles from here to cut the number of people who were cut are probably dead, in the opinion of C. A. McRidge, assistant superintendent in charge of the rescue work. All members of the train crew, first believed to be lost, were found alive in the wreckage just out of reach of the swirling waters of a river that has been torrent by a cloudburst. All were seriously injured.
McBride's tabulation showed that of sixty-six passengers and six trainmen aboard, the following were saved: thirty-two passengers in the two rear sleepers, which remained on the track; fourteen passengers who were in the two day coaches, which were seriously injured; these were seriously injured; the train crew of six. This leaves twenty still unaccounted for.
The bridge crumpled beneath the engine. As the engine's nose dived into the deep water and mud, the other cars went over it in a leap-frog fashion. One chair-car and one Pallman were only partially submerged and the passengers who escaped riffled groups. Only two coaches of the seven-car train failed to go into the water.
Rescue workers toiled throughout the early morning. Two wrecking trains arrived at the scene shortly before day-break.

Modern Alchemists Fail
Gold From Sea Water Remains Scientific Dream
(By Science Service)
Sent 28 —Th
Berlin, Sept. 28. — The ole dream of making gold from sea water, or more accurately of extracting the ocean's vast amount of gold has again been punctured by German scientists. Some time ago a rumor was circulated that a profitable method of doing this had been invented and that Germany would pay off her reparations by this means. An American scientist even over here to investigate the story.
The rumor was started through the research of an industrial plant on the shores of the Adriatic which showed the average amount of gold dissolved in water. Furthermore it was shown that the gold is not in simple solution in the water but in what is known as the "colloidal" state, making its isolation much more intricate and costly. The present cost of produce is about 20 times the market price of the previous metal.
But here is a goal for inventors. If a way can be found to change the gold in solution from the colloidal to the ionized state characteristic of simple solutions it might be profitably extracted.

"Lemme Out" Is Call for 'Phone Exchange
"Gimme outside," "City," "Central please," "Downtown," "Lemme out," are only a few of the expressions hurled at the ears of the operator by persons desiring a city connection. There are only eight trunk lines connecting the bill phones with the phone base; they say, "Opposing side," emencated distinctly will bring a speedier connection with one of them than any other word or phrase. The annoying person to the operator is the one who falls to call by number and asks for the assistant to the assistant of the secretary of someone, not knowing even which department the person asks for the plumber or the electrician is almost as soothing to the anguished heart.
There are one hundred-fifty-nine telephones on the Hill. The operator has a general idea of where each phone is located and knows the names of the most important persons in the village to keep track of every individual.
"I want 1234 Black" or a similar monstrosity strikes the operator when six other calls are buzzing her. This is no attention. For just a second she is stunned but suddenly rallies. "I give you City," she replies.
