UNIVERSITY STUDENTS VISIT PENITENTIARY
Mann's Class Studies Conditions at State and Federal Institutions
Chaplin Liked the Interes Shown By Students in Such Problems
GREETED BY PRISON BOARD
The federal pentitary at Leavenworth and the state pentitary at Lansing, including the women's penal farm, the inmates of all totaling almost 4,000 inmates, were visited by Prof. Delbert M. Mann's 11:30 class in Remedial and Corrective Agencies yesterday.
At the federal institution the students visited the general administration building, two of the cell houses, the shops where tailoring, shoe-making and other trades are carried on, and the dining room. The latter seats 1200 men at one time. The "true of manners" is that the mining, previews at meals, only the ratling of plates, knives and forks breaking the quiet of the room.
At the shops, the finished materials which go to clothes and provide for the comfort of the prisoners, the K.U. aggregation was not allowed to make a detailed study, but the students secured a good conception of the inner workings of a great penal institution from the outside.
A talk by Chaplin Allen gave the visitors an opportunity to ask questions which come up in the classroom in relation to the treatment of prisoners and the problems in caring for them.
Asked if the prisoners presented the intrusion of students, Professor Mann replied that they rather liked to have visitors. The chaplain expressed his satisfaction at the interest which the young people take in such problem
REFUSED TO MARRY; FINED
Justice Tried to Compel Compliance With Orders
"The trip," said Professor Mann in finishing, "was entirely successful keeping in mind the purpose which was to observe the application of the principles learned in the classroom in the treatment of criminals. The students received vivid impressions and new conceptions."
The prison band played for the students under the leadership of S. Z Herb, formerly of the University faculty, and now employed by the state. Following the concert the students broke forth with a "Rock-Chalk" which began generating the moment the band began to play.

Miss Ella B. Lucas Will Teach Modeling in Eastern School
Miss Ella B. Lucas has resigned her position as Assistant Professor of Design in the University.
Miss Lucas will return to her former position in Mada . Skeften's French School, located on Twenty Second street, New Yok. There she will devote all her time to the teaching of modeling.
“As modeling is my special subject,” said Miss Lucas. “I do not think it wise to spend the major part of my time and strength on other subjects. But I do like the West and I like KU. I have never had finer or more earnest students anywhere. They have been an inspiration.”
Miss Lucas then let the way to the modeling room where the student work could be seen.
Miss Lucas presents many different types of work; sculpture, bas-riase, Japanese Lanterses of different design, Greek vases, Venation well heads, fern lashes, flower boxes, life sketches and composition.
The Kansas clay has been tried cut in the tiles and while it has a lovely color, the shale sploots the work.
Mr. Paul Tester of the Ceramic Chemistry Section of the Geology Department, said concerning Miss Lucas' work.
NUMBEER 152.
"I consider Miss Lucas' resignation a serious loss to the University. In the short time she has been here she has shown unusual ability in sculpture modeling; and not only is she a rare artist herself, but has unusual ability to teach students to do similar work. It is well known that it is very difficult to do work of this kind accurately, and some of the work students is certainly of a high order, but others are entirely unskilled in this work and in a short time developed them into real artists. I regret very much that she is to be no longer connected with the University. It seems to me there should be a development of this type of work at the University of Kansas.

HAS ATTRACTIVE OFFERS
Man
Chancellor Lindley Declares University Is Losing Valued
Professor Arthur MacMurray, head of the department of public speaking has handed in his resignation, which will take effect at the end of the fiscal year, according to infr. ration received from Professor MacMurray.
Professor MacMurray has been connected with the University since 1914 coming here from the department of Agriculture and Agricultural College at Ames. During Professor MacMurray's affiliation with the department of public speaking at Ames, the enrolment advanced during the first semester during the six years he spent there.
Since coming to Kansas MacMurray has done notable work for the K. U. department of public speaking. The enrollment has jumped from a few dozen students to a number of students enrolled in that department at this time. He consolidated the two dramatic clubs into the K. U. Dramatic Club as it exists today. Since his connection with University dramatics, the quality of the student theater has steadily improved. H: originalized the Little Theater, and had the up-to-date stage constructed. He started the senior play contest, which has given seven successful original plays. The stage scene and equipment was built on a high standard under his leadership as dramatic coach and instructor.
Professor MacMurray was graduated from the Washington High School in 1891, and he took his A.B. degree at the University of Kansas with the class of 196. He was principal of several high schools and superintendent of city schools in Nebraska for six years. He studied at the University of Oklahoma from 1903 and then he went on the Lepum Platform with the Redhawk Bureau for several seasons. After his success in this line of work he accepted the position at the Iowa St. & Agriculture College at Ames
"We regret very much to lose such a good man as Professor MacMurray," said Chancellor Lindley in regard to the resignation, "but we are grateful that you have been so kind that he has rendered the University. While we are sorry that he is leaving K. U., his resignation did not come as a surprise, because he has been thinking of entering the business world for some time, and had notified us of his departure." In addition, the university of Kansas wishes Professor *x* MacMurray success in his new work."
TO RESTORE REPTILE'S SKULL
Cretaceous Flying Reptile Will Be Placed in Museum
A skull of a very rare form of Pterodactyl is being restored by H. T. Martin, of the Museum. This skull gives a good idea of the shape and size of these rare cretaceous flying reptiles.
Only a few skulls of Pteronodon loxipes are known and this specimen is one of the best and shows more of the anatomy of the skull than any other so far known. It has a long scissors-like bill, fifteen inches along the cutting edge. The occipital condyle and buso-epicregion is very well showing having more foramina than any other specimen.
So fragile are the thin walls of the skull, that probably no other fosfil requires more care and skill in cleaning it of the matrix adhering to the bones, than does the cranial region of these rare flying reptiles.
