THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WORK ON DORMITORY STARTS NEXT SPRING
Plans Being Drawn for Building To Accommodate 150 Women
Excavating will begin in the spring for the first women's dormitory at the University of Kansas. This building will accommodate about 150 women and will be located on North College Hill. It will be the first of a quadrangle to be constructed to the building. The first near our entrance are to be built near the center of the hill and later there will be one at each corner.
Preliminary plans for the dormitory are now being drawn up in the office of the Dean of Women and will be submitted soon to Ray L. Gau.
Since North College Hill is so far from the campus an entirely prepared heating plant must be installed for the dormitories.

Fressa Baker, A.B. '21 Writes About Industrial Union
Fressa Baker, A. B. 21, of the University of Kansas, who was awarded research fellowship in the Women's Educational and Industrial Union of the Simons School of Social Work at Boston, writes of her experiences there in a letter to Professor Boynton.
"This is certainly an unusual institution," says Miss Baker. "The Union is composed of fifteen different departments in all of which women are studying. This year, Truffit administration," is the subject being studied.
"Extensive library work is not done on the subject, as it is the idea of Simmons that education in certain lines should be obtained in as practical a way as possible. We interview the secretaries of trade unions regarding the benefit features of the various unions of which we are members and book up the various settlements and interviewed the head workers to find out how they were encouraging saving," concluded Miss Baker.

Streets O' Lawrence Had Patriotic Tang
"Lawrence streets once carried the names of Revolutionary heroes. As the University grew and an increasing number of students poured in each year, the number of the streets became larger, the names of all streets were changed.
Lawrence streets once carried the names of early patrons. What is now Sixth Street was Pickney, followed by Wintroph, Henry, Warren, Burkeley, Quincy, Hanceck, Lee* and Adams," said an old graduate on a recent visit to the Hill. Tht covered all there was of Lawrence—from the river to the University hill, now Fourteenth. Street.
"Dawrence fathers, many of whom had come from Massachusetts, named their town for the Massachusetts town and gave the name of the state to the river past the river; past the first house, Streets parallel with Massachusetts and east of it were named for the original thirteen states and streets west were named for the states on the river, with admission to U.S. beginning with Vermont.
"The state names remain, but the others had to go. The University freshmen became so numerous, and so helpless when it came to following directions, that the council had to substitute numbers. Somehow the numbered names of the students were learned to know Tenace and Adams as the student center, but convenience, I suppose, must be considered."

Dean Kelly Reports Trip to Grad
Seminar
Prof. F. J. Kelly, dean of the facul-
in, in an address before the meeting
of the Graduate Seminar at the Oreo-
D Training School, Tuesday evening,
locused his present work of deter-
mining appropriate teaching methods
of the different departments
in the University of Kansas.
In this connection, he reported
on trips which he made recently to
the Northeastern Minnesota Educational
Association, the South Idaho Educ-
ation Association, and the State
Teachers' Association of Utah.
He mentioned the generous expenditure of money for the building and maintenance of schools in the Messina iron range in Northern Italy, and impressed with the unity of purpose among educators in Utah. They have fewer one-roomed schools than any other state. There is also a new school code which divides the state into four districts, the vindent elected by the Board of Education. Of the forty districts, thirty-nine have a hundred per cent membership in the State Teachers' Association. The four great colleges and universities of the state have a cent membership among the faculty.
"The main problem before the University Administration in placing appropriations," said Dean Kelly, "is to place each dollar for teaching service so that it may bring the greatest returns to teaching results."
Petitions for freshman representative to the executive council of the W. S. G. A. have been filled with the chair of the election committee by the following students: Gladys Scotten, Lois Rochester, Faye Mayer, Helen-May Marcey.

K. U. GRAD TO NORTH DAKOTA
"Women's athletics are starting off with a swain under the leadership of Miss Nell Martindale and her newly-appointed assistant, Miss Irene B. Then," according to "The Student," at the University of North Dakota.
Nellie Martindale Head of Women's Athletics There
Miss Martindale, who is the hea
of the women's department of physical
education at the University of
North Dakota, is a graduate of K. U.
in the class of 1912. Miss Martindale had charge of the work in physical education here at K. U. this past summer.
Miles, Thea. who received her degree from K. U. in 1920, was president of W. A. A. and a member of Varsity "A."
Miss Thien plans to organize an athletic association among the women student of the University of North Dakota by introducing the point system of rewards for women's athletic contests. Aesthetic dancing classes, under the direction of Miss Martindale, have become so popular that it has become necessary to hold competitive tryouts for membership in
Three Women Accepted To Dancing Fraternity
Oread High School freshmen had their footprints taken in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday afternoon under the supervision of Dr. Florence B. Sherbon. Photographs of each student were also taken to show the defects in posture. The foot records and photographs together with previous health records of the students will be used in composing health programs, which will be explicitly followed during the rest of the year.
At a meeting of Tau Sigma, dancing fraternity, Thursday evening, a decision was reached concerning the "tryouts." Three girls made the fraternity, Katherine Kennedy, Stella Harris, and Winifred Goldborough. A girl put on the writing list for further consideration. The following officers were also elected: president, Elizabeth Dunkel; vicepresident, Helen Elfellitz; secretary, Beth Smith; treasurer, Hope Selig; sergeant at arms, Virginia Haynes.
Due to the big play "tryouts," many of the University women interested in the organization were uninterested. For this reason another one will be held Wednesday, November 2, at 7 vclock.

Somebody May Send Some Real Dope Ye
Many and varied are the samples of minerals and oils sent to the department of geology for identification; gceed ore, worthless stone, fossils and curiosities. Occasionally who is given he has discovered a precious metal on his farm, and it is found to be worthless. Last week a large piece of iron sulfide, "foof's gold", came in registered mail. No doubt the sender believed and shied, as he was probably greatly shocked when he was informed that his specimen was worth about six dollars a ton. Several times in the last few years samples of supposed oil fills were examined and branches and springs have come to the department. The substance was really iron oxide and if the person who said it in had rived to burn it, he could have found
A sample of Aoellan, or wind drifted volcanic ash, was received from western Kansas this summer. It had been blown from the regions of Colorado which were at one time volcanic. Oil drillers out in central Kansas sent in a little bag of gritty looking dirt, which they had found in a well they were drilling and wanted to know where it came from. They knew so dull. The department found that the rock as obtained at a depth if 3000 feet and was from a formation formed many feet below where oil could have existed.
