McCook Field Loses Identity as Old Landmarks Are Obliterated
McCook Field is not recognizable to the returning students. One section of the Stadium is being poured today. The section on the west side of the field is well under way, a good share of the cement has been poured, and the playing field is sadded and all the grading and draining done necessary to provide a playing field for the opening game. Indications point toward the fact that the Unit Construction Committee made good and successful use of the 22-room Stadium completed time for the Missouri-Kansas game, Thanksgiving, November 24.
THE sections included in the present contract are located on both sides of the field, running north and south across McCook and Hamilton fields. Each side is 100 feet wide and 291 feet long with forty rows of seats in each. The north end of these stands is identical with the north line of old McCook Field. The fronts of each section are 265 feet apart
The Stadium plans are those of C. C. Williams, professor of civil engineering in the School of Engineering They were dawn up after investigation of every notable stadium throughout the country. The architect was La Force Bailey, of the department of architectural engineering.

The end towers of the Stadium will contain dressing rooms, showers, and archery stands. The stands will be constructed of reinforced concrete throughout.

The location of the Stadium is believed to combine the essential features of accessibility, economy, and ease of handling large crowds to a greater degree than any of the others investigated. This site is also considered best with regard to the future development of the campus and has a remarkable view from Mount Oread.
HONOR TO NINE KANSANS
Names Appear in Last Edition of Scientific Journal
Seven members of the University faculty at the present time along with two other Kansas have been ranked among the recognized leading scientists of North America, according to the third edition of the "American Men of Science," copies of which have just been received here now.
Chancellor Lindley is among those on the list. He is recognized as a leading psychologist.
The book is to the field of science what the "Who's Who" is to the aggregate. One-tenth of those listed were picked out by a preferential vote of 2,000 scientists as being leading men in their respective field. It is from this list that the nine Kansas names were taken.
The other Kansans whose names are on the list are B. M. Allen, professor of zoology; E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry; E. F. Kester, professor of physics; H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry; W. S. Hunter, professor of psychology; Solomon Lefchetz, professor of mathematics; Erasmus van Dam, formerly professor of zoology at this University and Robert K. Nabours, professor of zoology at the Agricultural College.
Professor Haworth's report on Kansas geology made him a noted figure. He resigned a year ago because the K. U. salary scale was so much smaller than offers from the commercial world.
Professors Cady, Hunter, and Lefschetz have been added to the list of readers since the last edition of *Science* which was published in 1910.
Club Women Are Coming.
Many club women of Kansas who are especially interested in the building of dormitories for the young women students, will make a personal inspection of the proposed locations in November. At that time the district convention of the Federation of Women's Clubs will be held in Lawrence.

ROOMING SITUATION SATISFACTORY NOW
Y. M. Employment Agency Has Plenty of Work for Students
The University Y. M. C. A. gave out the report this morning that they are having no trouble finding rooms to rent. Most of them have been experienced in finding skilled labor. Most of the rooms near the campus have been taken, but there are still a large number of rooms ykt $450 per room outskirts of the roding district
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS S, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1921
W. M. Bldgett, Secretary of the Y M. C. A., said this morning that they were having no trouble firing employment for unskilled labor. "The fact is" Secretary Bldgett said they are a number of workers who are skilled electrocution barbers, plumbers, millers, mechanics, and mechanics."
The members of the Y. M. C. A. returned early this year to carry out a more extensive campaign than has borefare been done. They have now moved to the courts and with the cooperation of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, met all the trains and supplied new rooms and employment.
The Chamber of Commerce has furnished cars, free of charge, to carry students to their destination and the Y. M. C. A. men have stayed with them until they were permanently settled, thus eliminating a great deal of tireome efforts on the part of the students who were strangers in Lawrence and who were not there at all, back home without having had a clear insight into the character of the existing conditions.
Friday afternoon the Y. M. C. A cabinet and a few members held retreat west of the campus to discuss plans and policies for the coming year, Chancellor Lindley and M. H. McKean, State College Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., were the principle speakers. The main issue of the year will be a more intensive study of the issues surrounding Five big social wills be given during the year in cooperation with the Y. W. C. A.
Instead of having the freshman mixer last the whole week, as has been done in past years, the efforts to have a freshman centrated on one night. This year the freshman mixer will be held on Wednesday night. Light refreshments will be served, and a general unquainted campaign will be the feature.
All married women students and wives of students are requested to register on Monday at the table provided by the K. U. Dames in the north hall of the Gymnasium. The local chapter is a branch of the national orational school, intended to provide pleasures to wives of students. Since this is the only means of getting the names, the women are urged to register at this time.

Fraser Hall, Oldest Building on Campus Still Serviceable at the Beginning of Fiftieth Year
Fraser Hall, the oldest building on the campus, renovated and renewed, looks like a brand new building, ready for many more years of service. Although beginning its fiftieth year of service this fall, it is one of the best buildings on the campus today.
"Fraser is a remarkable building considering the time when it was built," said M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. "Even t-day it is the best constructed building on the campus with the exception of the new Administration building A5 soon as the new flooring can be 'taid' from the floor to the ceiling, the building will be ready to serve the University many more years."
Workmen have just completed the rewiring and installation of new metal roofings throughout the building, complete redecoration of the interior.
Fraser Hall was built in 1872 at an approximate cost of $182,000, one half of which was appropriated by the legislature and one-half contributed by the citizens of Lawrence. It is named in honor of General John Fraser, the first active chancellor of the University.
When Fraser was built the administrative offices of the University were moved into the new building and she worked at Fraser time. For twelve years Fraser was
the only building used by the University, North College having been temporarily abandoned. The present journalism building, the second building on the campus proper, was built in 1884.

The Big Sisters are organized into squads for their work on the Hill. Cheer Square with Dorothy Brandle is charge is helping new women at the Dean's office, from Saturday unit. The direction of Ruth Terry is providing information regarding registration and enrollment at a table just inside the center door of the Gymnasium. Two other squads, one in the room for registering new students and the other in the room for former students are assigned addresses and telephone numbers of women students as they come in for registration. A duplicate card with the woman's number is handed her. After registration, the women are directed to the second floor of the Gymnasium, where an Introduction to Women Students is acquainted. They exchange cards then, so that each Big Sister may have her Little Sister's name and

Two more cooperative houses for self-supporting girls have been purchased by a group of Lawrence men and women and will be operated on the same plan as the Lakota house which has been here for the past two years. The new houses are located at 1208 Mississippi street and 1231 Louisiana Street. The price paid for the two houses was $15,700.

Three business men have agreed to give $500 more each for the purchase of another loan. Another another gift of $500 is secured.
The two houses for which arrangement have just been made will provide for twenty-five girls. Applications for admission have been received from more than it will be possible to care for.
The outstanding feature of the cooperative plan is that the girls by doing all of their own work can live on approximately half of what it would cost them to attend school otherwise. Chancellor Lindley has characterized cooperative plan as "the more available solution of the housing problem."

Kansas R. O. T. C. Shows Up Well in Summer Camp
"The forty-one members of the University of Kansas R, O, T, C, who took a course of training this summer at Fort Wintfield Scott, California, proved exceptionally adept at picking up the training," said Major H. D, Burdick, who was in charge of the group. "The score in water firing made by the K. U. contingent was unusually good. Using both fixed and moving targets, they regained most of their shots at a distance of over four miles exceptional training score for this class of firing."
The K. U, boys also won the baseball championship of the foot, taking first place in the training course were contingents from the R. O. T.

NEW CAFETERIA WILL OPEN IN TWO WEEKS
May Serve Three Times a Day;
To Seat 1000 at Each
Meal
No definite time has been set for the opening of the new cafeteria, acceding to Miss Anna H. Barmum, temporary director of the cafeteria. However, Miss Barmum expects to open the cafeteria one week from the time he is equipment is installed. So this will be the last of September.
The seating capacity at one time will be about 360, but it is expected that 1000 people can be seated comfortably at each meal. If there is a demand for it, three meals will be served each day.
The price of the food will be kept to the minimum, according to Miss Barnm. No profit will be made outside of that necessary for running expenses and the gradual payment for the equipment. While appropriation was made for the building of the structure, it did not cover the cost of equipment. The dimensions of the new building are 80 feet by 100 feet. The addition will be partitioned of all and all the rest of the space will be thrown into one large room. The floor will be stained and oilied and the tables will be polished topped with seating capacity for four, six, or eight people.
Most of the counter and dining room work and all the part time work will be done by University students. Most of all time work will also be necessary.
Miss Barmur, director of the cafeteria, was graduated from Columbia University, and has operated catereries at Bryn Mawr, Cornell, and New York City. She will be assisted by her sister, Miss Rebecca B. Barnum.

MANY KANSAS CITIES CONTINUE BIG DRIVE
Memorial Campaign Opens Soon Throughout State of Kansas
Sixteen town and cities in Kansas are busy campaigning for the Stadium-Union Memorial according to a statement by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner who made a trip to Southwestern Kansas last week, returning late Saturday. This is only the beginning of stirring up the alumni and friends of K. U. in all parts of the state not yet reached, in order to raise the additional fund of which $80000 subscribed by the students last spring with the additional campaigns among the graduates and other friends in Lawrence, Kansas City, Topeka and Leavenworth. All of these campaigns exceeded the quotas set for their portion of the million dollars.
Prof. Baumgartner's trip last week was to organize the executive commit-
explain and explain the work in Winfield and Fort Scott. He visited Winfield and Fort Scott on Friday. In both cities, he said the friends of the University are enthusiastic over the way in which the memorial is being carried out to honor the men and women of the University and their life sacrifices in the World War.
"There is no question as to the early completion of the Memorial fund," said Prof. Baumgartner. "The autumn campaign will wind up the first year of this greatest of all K. U. movements. As soon as the required perimeter is completed, the erection of the Union building will be started and all will see that every item in the big program will be carried out."
Those of the new arrivals in the student body who have not yet been interested in this four year Memorial movement will be given an opportunity to unite their support as soon as the semester gets under way. The student influence has been one of the factor making the campaign a success, and Doctor Bammerstein is always ready to consider their suggestions.
James Austin, member of the Kansan Board, will not return to the University this semester.
