Hornman, publisher of the El Reno American, has offered $10,000 and a valuable Indian collection on condition the bills pass.
Besides a friendly feeling Lowe is close co-operation between the Zeta chapter and Sigma Delta Chi, men's professional journalistic fraternity in the university. Sigma Delta Chi held its annual convection in Norman in 1921 and Theta Sigma Phi helped entertain.

Letter from Biologist Praises K. U. Museum And Mounted Exhibits
Contends That Specimens Should Receive Protection From Mutilation
"There is just one thing of which Kansas University should be ashamed and that is the way in which some very valuable specimens in the museum have been mutilated by nane-caring and name-writing vandalism," Prof. H. H, Ninigea, of the department of biology of McPherson College, says in a recent letter to W. A. Dill, director of nubility.
Professor Ninginger visited the University a few weeks ago in attendance on the Academy of Science, of which he is vice-president. He spent a great deal of his spare time in the museum.
"I wish to express my very great enthusiasm over the excellent museum which adorns your campus," he continues in his letter. "The upper floor of the museum houses a collection of which this state can well be proud. The great work that has been done by the various men who have visited the museum, especially Mr. H. T. Martin, described as the preciation of every citizen who is interested in the educational work of the stater of Kansas.
"No state is richer in prehistoric fauna than is Kansas, and I venture to say that no other state can bask in the sun more than in paleontology than H. T. Martin.
"Right here we have the greatest collection of these Kansas materials in the world, and I wonder if we appreciate it as we should."
"The collection of mounted materials might be displayed to a better advantage by the addition of a few new cases, and some of the unmounted materials might be assembled and exhibited. Why do not the members of some graduating class buy these items for the purchase of some plate glass cases for this purpose as a memorial gift to their Alma Mater?" he suggests.

Cold March Weather Delays Completion of Administration Building
Activities Reduced to Minimum With Exception of Work on First Floor
Dehyded construction results from this typical March weather. The Administration building workmen are greatly hampered by the cold weather. The contractors had hoped to have the work entirely completed by next August, but last week was one of delays.
The brick masons were unable to do anything last week with the exception of Wednesday, and the pouring of cement has been stopped by the roofs. The roofs have not been raised yet and until the building can be covered the ventilating system cannot be installed. The cornice men have carried their work as far as possible, but cannot complete their installation. Cement has been poured into the third-floor forms, but the carpenters have not gone any farther. Activities have been reduced to a distinct minimum around the Administration building for the last few days and with the exception of the work that roofs could not mud progress has been made.
Large cast-iron stoves are scattened through the three floors and serve to take some of the chill from the winds. The plumbing has neared completion and by the time the weather permits the brick masons to work, the interiors of the first two floors may be ready for completion.

'Junior Special' Tests Out
Racer is Mate to One Driven by De Palma
The Junior Special racing car being tested by K. U. engineers is a mate to the car driven by De Palma and wrecked in the races at the new Kan-kan bowl last October. Several tests have been performed on its infactory results obtained. The car has been placed on a framework so that inspection may be carried on more easily. The rear wheels have been removed and the axles fastened to the chassis for the interior shaft. It has been found that it will develop over 100 horsepower. The greatest amount of power was attained at about 3600 revolutions per minute, which is twice as fast as the ordinary stock car motors "turn valves" to time timing of the valves and the firing intervals are being carried on now.
Racing cars such as this one cost about $30,000. This is due to the fine grade of steel and other material that is used in them. Parts such as the飞轮wheel are hand-made and made of aluminum. The car and the one that was wrecked are owned by George Wade of Kansas City.
