"He wasn't so different from the twentieth century husband at that," said one of the travelers. "We are ready to reveal a number of his family members and friends who will startle the public." All archaic gements have been completed among the other twenty-seven organizations which will take part in the Karnival, some giving one-act pixies others operating concession stands.

Union to Play Part Of Popular Center For University Life
New Building Will Mean Better Co-operation and Greater Democracy
"The Union will not be a place where students and others may idle, wasting their precious time," says Karl T. Finn. "Rather it will be an important feature in the educational system at K. U., playing the part of the community center which will draw together the various elements of the school." The union will be around which all University activities will rotate.
"A Union idea recognizes one important fact—that all normal human beings desire and deserve friends and companions. The Union building, then, will afford a place where these fine私属 contacts, so important at a university, can be furthered with the least effort and expense.
"Students, graduates, ox students and friends of the University will be invited to use the Union building. It is not to be erected for a select few. No greater influence for democracy could be erected than the Union building, certainly a fitting monument to the men and women who lived there that democracy should survive throughout the world." Mc Finn said.
Located on top of Mt. Oread, at the very entrance to the campus, just across from the old library and north of the museum, it is believed that the Union will be ideally situated to serve its purpose. The Union means a valuable addition to the campus, and besides providing it, means greater democracy, cooperation, unity, spirit, and most of all a better and bigger K. U.
Blasting Will Continue
Another campaign will be started in Wichita Friday; Fort Scott will be solicited on Monday; Parsons on Tuesday; Independence and Confes-
ville on Wednesday; and Cherryvale on Thursday.
A stick of dynamite, a pint of blast-
ing powder, and another pint of TNT
—this is the secret of the frequent
use of dynamite. It comes from the
southern slope of Oread. Several
duned holes are to be drilled through
the limestone, charged with the
explosives, and thundered off, before
your work can begin on the new
library.
Several Hundred More Charges Are to be Set Off
The steam shovel is at present working on the south edge of the hill loading the blasted rock into wagons and trucks. The strata of lower Orcad limestone and about ten feet of sandstone are loaded from the south half of the excavation to provide for a sub-basement looking out over the valley on the south. Much of the rock and dirt removed from the excavation has been placed on the embarkment to the north, where it meets the level of Fraser hall. The embankment will be raised about four feet higher than its present level.
Both steam shovel and the crew of haulers will be at work for at least a month more before construction can begin. The depth to which the north wall of the dam has not yet been determined, but will depend largely on the rock formation found there. The recent rains have hindered work somewhat by making hauling difficult. Occasionally the crew will remove mud trucks as well as rock.

New Budget Report To be Offered for Approval Next Week
Present System Instituted by The Chancellor Two Years Ago, a Success
The budget committee conferences on salaries and maintenance that have been held daily for the past two weeks will be completed the first of next week. After these conferences are over it will be several weeks before the next state board of administration, according to Chancellor E. H., Lindley.
The present budget system used at the University was instituted by the university years ago and it has worked efficiently. The professors of each department of the University make up a budget for their department; this budget is submitted to the budget committee by the head of the department.
The budget committee is made up of the Chancellor, the head of the departments, and the deans of the schools that allow credit from the department. E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, is acting chairman through all the conferences in the absence of Dean F. J. Kelly. Chancellor Lindley is not able to attend all the meetings with the management of Dean Stouffer.
After the budgets have been revised and approved by the committee they pass through the Chancellor's office for inspection or revision, and are presented to the entire University budget to be presented to the state board of administration for approval. By this system the budget has been made according to the best judgment of the state board; but it is presented to the state board.
