ENGINEERS TO PROFIT BY BETTER FACILITIES
Space Left by Old Power Plant Will Aid in Developing Engineering
With the changes now under way in the School of Engineering, there is going to be an opportunity for much greater development in all of the areas of engineering, when completed, according to Dean Walker this morning.
There will be two notable changes, provided sufficient funds are appropriated. One of these will be the moving of the hydraulic laboratory from its present quarters in the east end of Fowler shops into the space to be vacated by the old Power plant. The Old Power plant is divided into two sections at present, the Mechanical Engineers using one of them. The other section is kept on using their present quarters and also a portion of the old boiler plant. The rest of the space will be used by other departments of the School. The new Electrical Engineer's laboratory which is now under construction will be of benefit 4 others besides the electrical engineers. Their present quarters, the business of the Engineering Department will be equipped by the Civil Engineers when the laboratory is completed, thus making it possible to further facilitate municipal and sanitary engineering.
It will be a year before the new power plant will be ready for operation and the various changes resulting made, at which time, with the small appropriation of fifteen or twenty dollars, to be expected benefits to the School of Engineering may be realized, according to Dean Walker.
K. U. GUARDS STILL ON DUTY
Uncertain When Local Unit Will Return from Pittsburg
The Kansas National Guard Units which left for the coal fields at Pittsburg on December 15 are still on duty there. Although the situation is quiet, the Governor deems it necessary to keep them on guard to quell any unexpected disturbances that may arise.
Company M, of Lawrence which is one of the five units on duty, contains many K. U. men. At the beginning of school it was thought that these men were to be excused from school and sent to their classes. This plan was discarded because of the dissatisfaction it would have caused among the other troops. Captain Sam P. Moyer of Company M wrote that he expected to return home during the week but never did. He then stated his statement by stating that the troops will be lucky if they get home by February 1.
In reference to the K. U.' students he says, "It is a shame that the boys are missing school, but it can't be helped. The only encouragement that I give them is that they leave as soon as the rest of it not sooner."
At a meeting of the Kansan board Thursday, December 16, the following officers were elected to fill their places: Fred Donghyun, Dougery, news editor; Phyllis Gilmore, campus editor; Jacqueline Wigmore, alumni editor; Clare Ferguson, telegraph editor; Margaret Larkin, exchange editor; and Stella Durton, plain telegraph Glick Shutz was recieved as sport

New Years Greetings
In spite of famine in many parts of the world, in spite of the recent dark days in the Washington Conference, in spite of the deadly price of farm products in Kansas, there are grounds for a hopeful outlook in the New Year. Human nature, which rose to noble heights during the war, is asserting itself now.
Thousands like ourselves have responded to the call of the hungry, have urged extreme limitation of armament, and have found other worthy expressions of our obligations as citizens of our country and of the world.
HOLD CHILD WELFARE MEETING HERE SOON
Just now, in the face of agricultural depression in Kansas, we, as members of the University of Kansas, can show our appreciation of the great opportunities of education provided by taxation of the people. We can show our loyalty by reasonable expenditures. Economy denotes a sound mind. Thrift will make our appetites most keen for the best opportunities which surround us.
Let us gratefully plan for a New Year of thorough work, reasonable good will toward our neighbors and all mankind. With best wishes

DUDLEY BUCK WANTS TO RETURN TO K. U
Serious Illness Forced Him to Leave Kansas Last Summer
WANTS MASTER SCHOOL
Engagement of Mr. Buck Rests With Summer Session Committee
Dean H. L. Butter of the School of Fine Arts announced this morning that Mr. Dudley Buck, the well-known vocal teacher from New York City, who conducted a Master School here last summer, is desirous of returning to the University for the next summer session.
'Last summer, Mr. Buck was taken seriously ill and had to give up his work after two weeks' teaching. Over one-half of his class remained in Lawrence and carried on their work with Dean Butler. When Mr. Buck returned to the East, he went to the hospital at Bellport, Long Island, and found that he was suffering from a torn elbow, its nails, which were poisoning his entire body, had his tonsil removed late in July and went *at peace* to the Adron-dacks, where he remained until the latter part of September.
Mr. Buck writes as follows to Dean Butler: "At As to a Master School at Lawnce next summer, I say 'yes.' I shall be glad to go out then and finish my job." Lightning self-sacrifice is also part of what we as and as I am in good physical health once again, I will look forward to another sojourn with you. Then, too, my living conditions will be different, for I shall bring Mrs. Buck with me." "I think your suggestion of thirty dollars will not cover my charge this year will be $10 a lesson. This is the amount I receive for my work in New York."
"As we had so many applications last year that we could not take care of, what would you think of having them? I think it would be to take the overflow, and charging $5 per lesson?" All students would have perhaps two or three lessons with me during the summer. This is one of my New York, and it brings fine results."
As the matter of Mr. Buck's engagement for the summer will rest with the Summer Session Committee, Dean Butler is not yet ready to announce positively that Mr. Buck will be held until later, that the Summer Session Committee will be glad to have Mr. Buck return.

BUILDING PROGRAM TO START
Equipment to be Ready for Use
Next September
The building program for the University of Kansas, authorized by the state legislature last year, is well under way and by the time Universalism comes next September, the authorized equipment will be largely ready for use.
Brick work is practically completed on the new heating and power plant, and installation of the machinery will begin in the early spring.
The open season has likewise made possible rapid work on the new electrical laboratory, being erected adjoining the present power plant. Stone cut from the campus is being used for this building, which is to cost only $40,000. By the addition of a temporary space in this building, that what we vacated when the new power plant is in operation, the University School of Engineering will become one of the best equipped in the West.
During the holidays, the University officials and the Board of Administration selected the site for the first unit of the library and preliminary plans and perspectives are being made on the state architect. Determination of the details of the library will be made early in January.
