C. Little, congressman from the second district, states that the Uni- tor of Canada is asking a post office beginning April 1, 1922. UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15. 1922. "Every one is pleased," said George O. Foster, registrar, "because it means the establishment of an institution we have been working for over four years. A separate postoffice will greatly facilitate the work of collecting and distributing the student's mail and will mean the lessening of error and delay caused by persons addressing mail to cause, John Doe, University Kasra." "At present we handle more than 3,000 letters and 100 packages daily," said Muriel Corrigan, one of the clerks in the University Branch post office. "about $35 in stamps, $30 money orders, 10 registered letters and 10 saved packages are taken on days in which you need them in for the different professors, etc. Although the change will be gradual, in time these numbers will be greater." Permanent quarters will be provided in the completion of the Administration Building for a postoffice, but until then it will remain at the present place in the registrar's office. All students' mail will be handled from the new post office after the system can be adjusted and possibly the carriers to the resident district will work from the University office. The present cost of maintaining the post office station at K. U. is about $1,000 a year to the state and the cost to the federal government is $250. With the new plan, the federal government will bear the entire expense, while the University will furnish necessary quarters and equipment. FINE ARTS TO GIVE PARTY Architects Will be Guests in Greenwich Village March 24 The Fine Art4 students are now planning their party for the architects which is to be given March 24. This entertainment has become a custom in the University since about six years ago. In the old days there was nothing doing in the School of Fine Arts, nothing but work and the joy of working. The drawing and painting students decided one year to have a party at Christmas time. It was a success in a way, but then they moved to another apartment, so Prof. W. M. Hokking suggested that they have another party and invite the architects. Last year the architects entertained, and the drawing and painting students in their turn are eagerly planing to make the party this year one to be remembered. It is to be on the order of a Greenwich Village. The men in the gallery, googles and the rooms on the third floor in the East wing of the Administration Building will be thrown open for dancing! The architects enjoyed it so thoroughly that the following year the drawing and painting students were delightfully entertained as guests of the architects. It was then that the architects made to make this an annual affair.

Valse Russe Pictures on rock drilling were shown in the Chemistry lecture room this afternoon at 4:30 to students interested in mining and mining apparatus. Pictures of this nature have been shown from time to time in the Chemistry Building and are considered very beneficial to students of mines and metallurgy according to Prof. H. C. Allen of the Department. During the war the films were sent out by the government Bureau of Mines, but now they are world known for their innovations who use them principally to advertise their apparatus. However there is much information included with the advertising and the department believes students will find them helpful.

Two-thirds of Student Body Must Vote Favorable for Passage Final arrangements have been made for the special election to be held tomorrow on the Jayhawk amendment, according to Joe Bloomer, chairman of the elections committee of the Men's Student Council.

The booths will be open from nine o'clock until four, thus giving everyone an opportunity to vote at the most convenient time. The men can vote at any of the polling places without regard to class or The only question to be put before the students at this time is the Jayhawker plan, providing for the reorganization of the staff, a new method of election, and the creation of an advisory board. The plan to be voted on tomorrow was worked out by a committee after they had obtained all the available information on the sub-committee and conferred with the prescnt staff. ling places without regard to class or school. The purpose of the new plan, as acceding to Dean John R. Dyer, chairman of the committee, is to insure the greatest efficiency possible in the editing of the Jayhawk, by the creation of the advisory board to supervise the work of the staff, so that they can benefit by the experience of the teachers. It will also place the publication on the agenda and the opinion of its supporters, by providing a means to guard against deficits such as occurred last year. A two-bids majority of the student body is necessary for the adoption of the plan, and unless a large vote is cast, the election will be useless. The members of the Men's Student Council are urging the entire student body to register a vote on the proposition.

STUDENT FINDS OLD COIN A large copper coin 159 years old, of Portuguese mintage, was found about a mile far southeast of town Sunday by Walter Freese, c24, while he and his wife were attending a wedding. They found the coin partially covered with dirt, along the edge of a field. Walter Freese Finds Portuguese Copper Piece Dated 1763 The coin is about the size of a dollar and bears the date 1783. On one side is a circular shield surmounted by a crown. On that side also is the date of the coin's minting, lovely by an inscription which would indicate that the coin was minted for colonial use. On the other side of the coin is the legend Africa Portuguese, The value mark has been obliterated by a deeply stamped countermark in the form of a shield. European governments frequently called in their coins and raised their face value by stamping with the national coat of arms, which probably has been done with this coin. The coin is crudely minted, but in fair condition. No satisfactory explanation has been offered for the presence of the coin in this part of the country. Its numismatic value is not known.
