"Renewed energy is being put in the Memorial drive work in the state after last week's necessary retard due to the Legion Convention," said Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, organization secretary of the Memorial Corporation this morning on leaving for the southern part of the state. "With such great numbers of the alumni going to Kansas City it was impossible to do anything in the field last week." W. Y. Morgan, the president and prominent K. U. alumnus, is giving part of his time to address the University alumni in the interests of the Stadium and the Union. Tuesday evening he will meet the K. U. people of Independence at a dinner in the Booth Hotel there. It is planned that Mr. Morgan will spend Wednesday in Coffeville, J. A. Devlin, newly appointed special representative for the Memorial Corporation will accompany Ben Maurer to work Thursday in Independence, Coffeville, Fredonia, Columbus, Garrett, and Olathe.

PLAN FOR LARGER USE OF UNIVERSITY PLANT
Classes May Be Spread Over Six Days in Each Week
Greater use of the University plant —the accommodation of more students with the present buildings— is contemplated in the six-day school plan now under consideration by F. J. Kelly, dean of administration, working with other officers of the University.
Many courses, particularly in English and economics, are taken by so many students that instruction has to be given in many sections. In freshman rhetoric, for example, students must learn how to mimiculate on Monday, Weekend day and Friday, requiring three and four rooms. By using Saturday morning and putting game of the sessions on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays, a same number of students could be accommodated with half as many rooms.
Another advantage Dean Kelly points out to the student is that of greater opportunity for getting subjects he wishes, for with the University courses spread over six instead of five days, the chances of the courses a student wants conflicting as to hours will be lessened.
While the adoption of the lengthened week will be deferred until next year, something of the same effect in increasing the use of the University equipment was started this year by requiring fresh students to take at least five hours of their work in the afternoon. This, according to Dean Kelly, has had a marked effect on comping in classes and on university classes, and the University is to accommodate ten per cent more students than were here last year, with the same number of rooms as before.
The use of Saturday as a recitation day will not mean the expansion of 2-hour classes into 3-hour classes, according to Chancellor Lindley. "Multiplication of courses in American colleges is too easy," said the professor. It could be easier against the evidence in expanding our work-week, and would rather that see 5 hour courses be cut to four or three."
Mabel Leffler, a new instructor in piano will give a recital this evening at 8:20 o'clock in Fraser Chapel, Miss Leffler is a fine pianist who has done considerable concert work, Dean H. L. Butter said this morning. There will be no admission. The public is invited.

PLAYS AT BOWERSOCK WERE WELL RECEIVED
The Climax' and Ibsen's 'Ghosts'
Well Portrayed to Appreciative Audience
Laurence Clarke's Little Theater presentation of "The Climax" and Ibsen's "Ghosts," brought here by the University of Kansas chapter of the Association of University Women, was very well received by an appreciative audience at the Bowersock Theater Monday afternoon and evening. "The Climax," featuring Jasper Deeter, a director of the Province-town Theater and Dorothy Peterson was a diverting comedy in three acts with mental suggestion as a theme. The character portrayal of the two musicians, Pietro played by Mr. David Hunt, was well defined and entertaining especially as the play progressed.
Miss Peterson, as Adelina, displayed a very charming personality and sings unusually well. David Fuller did well as the young doctor, but his performance is the evening as Adelina, who no one in the audience could fail to recognize the terrible significance of "Ghosts," as brought out in particular by Madame Hammer as Mrs. Alving and Mr. Fuller. As owed, Madame Hammer's performance was far superior to her work in "The Doctor Builder" played here two years ago, Mr. Stathone, as Pastor Mester
completely failed to identify his character in the minds of the audience, but Bolf Fjell, as Enggrand the manager, left no doubt in anyone's mind to his sensuality. Jeanne Paul Doe Leng, a former hassy he sent intended to represent.
Madame Hammer was well accomplished by Mr. Fuller in the tragic heights to which she rose and the dramatic intensity of Bissen's great theme was completely realized to the audience.

Members of His Fraternity Guarded the Casket—University Quartette Sang
With hundreds of his friends present to do him honor, funeral services were held this morning in the Methodist Episcopal church for George Hale, popular student and star athlete of the University of Kansas.

In speaking of George Hale, Chapla Edwards said: "He was a quiet man, without the false idea that bluster and noise mean success. His was the quietness and strength that comes from power. He was frank and open and honest and truthful. Who dares to say that his life is not complete, so that he like him on the fields of France, did more to make their lives count in one day, than other men do in their three score years and ten.
"Hale was a fighter, never a quitter. He lives, stronger and better than ever before, to develop his ability and training in perming limitations of body. We are sorrowful that he is no longer with us in the flesh; we are thankful that such a one has lived among us. This man is bound by and say, 'This was a man!'
Class friends of George Hale were pall bearers. They were Rudolph Uhlman, Andy MacDonald, Pete Resely, Engine Gashin, Gordon Saundries, and others who acted as ushers.

Senior Engineers to See Kansas-Nebraska Game
Senior Engineers may see the Nebraska game, or at least some of them, if present plans are carried out. It has been the custom for the past number of years for the seniors in a team to travel to St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Atchison, and other places, for the purpose of inspecting the large shops and manufacturing concerns 'n those cities. The trip usually extends over a week, and this year it is extended by eight trips to bine all the trips in one week so that disorganization in the classes will be reduced to a minimum.
If the trip is to be made next week,
those fortunate enough to get to go
to Chicago will be able to spend the
week-end in Lincoln.
Ruth Miller, *c22*, spent Saturday in Norman, Oka, as a guest at the Alpha Chi Omega house and attended the game.
