Dr. Winter Weather Will Not Hinder Dormitory Work
Construction Being Pushed With All Possible Speed; All Materials Now on Ground
Construction of the new women's dormitory on North College Hill is being pushed with all speed possible. Only the severest of weather will obstruct the large force of workmen the winter as most of the material for the building is already upon the grounds.
On account of the inaccessibility of the sits, it was deemed expedient to all of the hauling possible during the good weather. Very little delay in the construction work should result from the weather this winter.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, FANSAS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1922
In a few days the basement will be completed. Workmen are now engaged in laying the last of the brick floor. The first floor is already being poured.
Laying First Floor
Owing to the nature of the ground upon which the structure is being erected, the basement may almost be considered as above the ground. In fact, the front of the building will be entirely above the earl. Great heights can be achieved between the back of the structure and the hill for ventilation it.
Designed to accommodate over a hundred students, this building will do much to relieve the housing problem of former years, and is expected to promote a democratic social status among the students. Finished in brick and stucco, the object of beauty, especially as it is surrounded by deserts of trees already.
Students Invited
In the basement will be the kitchens, serving rooms, and an assembly rooms for social gatherings. As it is constructed almost entirely above the ground, there will be little need of artificial light during the day. The floors are made of concrete reinforced with steel grouts, while the brick and marble used for its construction make the structure absolutely fire-
As soon as the concrete sets the weekmen will begin to erect the walls for the first floor, and by the middle of February the first floor should be practically completed. Constructed entirely upon modern methods, the building will be heated and ventilated in the best method known in modern build feats. Spacious stairways and landing areas provide safety in case of fire. The only wood used will be for windows and doors and for finishing purposes.
Scholarships Open to Women o Four Classes
According to the contractors the building will be the most beautiful structure in the University, and will form a beautiful aspect when viewed in its natural surroundings. Its completion is expected in time to allow occupation at the time school starts next fall.
W. S. G. A. Offers Loans
The W. S. G. A. is offering a $50 scholarship loan, without interest, to one woman in each of the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, but so far women from only two classes have put in their applications.
The award is based on two things:
scholastic standing and the help it will give the student in completing her course.
The committee is very desirous of having all the applications in before the holidays. Applications may be made at Professor Gallou's office, 304 Fraser, Tuesday and Thursday between 11:30 and 12 o'clock. If this is not convenient, call K. U. 20 for an appointment.
The loans may be kept until three years after graduation, but of course it is hoped that it will be returned to banks before the three years have elapsed.
This fund is made possible by the fifty cent membership dues paid by each woman to the W. S. G. A. at the time of the fall registration.
Students are especially invited to hear Dr. John Mathews at the Armory, 900 R. I. Dec. 10 to 17. Sunday s.m. a.m. Every night 7:30 p.m. d.m. Dr. Mathews has traveled extensively and is a brilliant lecturer and Bible scholar. You will do well to hear him. D-14
"Opportunity to See Art Exhibit is Extraordinary
"The opportunity which all of the students have to see in the Sanden Ar Exhibit is an extraordinary one," said Dean H. L. Butter this morning, "get up to this time very few of the students have seen the pictures. Most of the seven hundred persons who have visited this exhibit have been townspeople or fine arts students." The Dean Butter said further, "I am often appealing to men, because of their unusual strength, virility and color." He urges every student to plan to see the exhibit while it is here.

Olympics To Start On Stadium Field Saturday Morning
Dr. Naismith's New Game Will Figure in the Frosh-Sophomore Contest
It is a pleasure to call attention to Olympics Day, Saturday, December 9, when Freshmen and Sophomores will strive for supremacy. I trust that all who are free to do so will witness the contest on the Stadium Field at 10 o'clock.
The Freshman-Sophomore Olympic will start tomorrow morning at 1' o'clock at the Stadium Field.
E. H. LINDLEY.
According to Haley, the Sophomore class will be out in mass to fight the Freshmen to a standstill. "I predict that every Freshman on the Hill will be wearing a freshman cap next spring", said Haley.
Freshmen Are Confident
Barnes, the Freshman Olympics manager, said that every Freshman on the hill would be out Saturday morning to duplicate the defeat tendered for Tuesday. “I am sure of victory for the Freshman, but every man must give all that he has to the support of his class,” he said this morning.

Better Than Football
Those who have seen Dr. Naishtoff's new game, "Tug of War," declare that it is more interesting to watch than play. It is a bit interesting the interest of the crowd all the time.
When the whistle blows at the end of the quarter the scorers must keep track of the position of the rings. If one side has the rings over the goal line, it counts five for the team pulling it over. If the ring is on the ten yard line it counts four points, on the twenty yard line counts three, etc.
The game will be played in four quarter of five or eight minutes each, with a resting period of a few minutes in between quarters. According to Dr. Naiismith, at the beginning of the quarter, all men are in the middle of the field and when the whistle blows twelve men are eligible to pull on the ring. There will be five rings on the场 at one end, thus making a grand total of sixty men participating on the场 at one end, when it is within the rules to keep several men in line near their goal case one ring needs assistance.
The Christmas program for the banquet will be as follows: "Merry Christmas," Wesley Pomerencik "Toys," Joan Glendening; "Evergreen," Florence Hutchinson; "One-legged Goose," Moye Rine; Solo, "Angel Song," Ruth Gould; "Bleur," Bert Cameron; "Tinsel," Florence Adair; "Candles," Dr. Edward Hision; "Gifts," Edwin Price; Male Quartet, "When Shepherds Watched Their Flocks at Night."
