"Not me," barked Pi joyously as he appeared for his Sunday morning meal at the fraternity house. All that evening he mused on how badly his other student friends must feel. "I'll deny that rumor effectively," he decided. During the most of the forenoon, Pi faced the old man of the main island near the front door of Spooner Library and wagged his head as much as to say, "What's that poor dead dog to me? I'm no ghost anyway."

Assurance in Pushing Fund Over Half Way Mark Gives Enthusiasm
BEYOND ALL EXPECTATION
Rallying Points Will Increase the University Spirit in Many Ways
The enthusiasm of the Chancellor is shown in the following interview statement made yesterday.
Success of the Stadium-Union Memorial campaign is seen by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. He has no hesitation in telling anybody that with more than half of the funds subscribed, the remaining half will come through the enthusiasm that has been aroused. The Summer Session is to be held at the alumni and friends of the University in many parts of the state.
The "Million Dollar Memorial campaign has already passed half way to its goal," the Chancellor said. "The Memorial appeal has aroused beyond expectations, the loyalty and enthusiasm of friends of the University. Each successive drive has exceeded the quota and has brought the alumni and former students into a terrific environment. This has an enthusiasm for the great objectives which the movement represents.
"The success of the campaign is due in part to the admirable organization of local communities aided by the Alumni Association. But no less important is the intrinsic appeal of the objects of the campaign.

Further, rallying point for friends of where outdoor sports and makes a great contribution to University spirit,

These structures embody the desire to make dynamic in the lives of the generations of Kansas students the sacrifices of our men students who fell in the great war. By virtue of these memorials, Mount Oread is the best state shine celebrating patriotism, sacrifices and gratitude for sacrifices.
"The Kansas Union appeals as a much needed center not only for the student body but as the home of visiting former students and friends of the university. This organization is United at the University of Michigan in bringing together students of all sorts and groups into the democratic atmosphere of loyalty to the University thus contributes indispensable elements to the enrichment of the campus by the students and provides equal hospitality for visiting alumni and friends.
(Continued on Page 4.)
The proposed Union building will contain dining rooms, cafeteria, student activity rooms, general assembly rooms, auditorium, and everything in between.
It is to be placed just opposite Myers Hall on the campus north of Dyce Museum. At a meeting of the sub-subcommittee recently it was proposed that rooms in which girls might go to lie down and nap for a while would be a feature of the building, and that the students would be mending rooms similar to those maintained by the Y. W. C. A. in many cities would be a part of the building. The committee on the needs of the men students has not reported as well.
