VOLUME X.
BIDS ON STADIUM ARE UNDER HALF MILLION
NUMBER
University Officials Pleased With Figures Given by Several Contractors
MR. FOSTER TREASURER
Registerrar Appointed to Handle Million Dollars Subscribed in the Movement
With the receiving and tabulating of the Stadium Memorial bids this week, Chancellor E. H. Lindley made the pleasing popular announcement in a semi-official way at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce meeting Tuesday noon that the stadium would probably be completed for something less than half a million dollars because that institution in labor and materials would work to the advantage of the new fund in getting much more for the monies subscribed than had been thought possible at first.
The Stadium and Union building were each looked upon as something more than a $800,000 proposition, but now the money saved on one project has become better. From the enthusiasm manest among the alumni and students, the entire fund is hoped to net more than a million dollars, but the accounting will show that every dollar invested in the building of a greater, University.
The bids for the building of the K. U. Memorial Stadium were opened Tuesday morning in the Chancellor's office. The bids were as follows:
A. R. Stinson            843,209
B. A. Stinson            843,849
Higgins Construction   555,758
Fogel Construction   573,966,53
A. S. Hooker           881,214,18
A. R. Stimson of Topeka was the low binder as shown by the above. He offered to build the Stadium com- plete with a roof and have it finished in twelve months.
Some arrangement must be made concerning the fall football season The committee is considering the ad visibility of trying to complete on two or sections at a small additional cost. It is thought that the large gate receipts would more than offset the extra cost.
The bidders were asked to rejuvenate their bids in an effort to cut down the time with as little added expense as possible. The executive committee will meet in Chancellor Lindsey's office Saturday morning at 9 o'clock to consider the revised bids. Just when the contract is signed, a finality yet, but there will be no unnecessary delay on the part of the University officials.
George O. Foster, registrar of the University, has been appointed per manant treasurer of the Kansas Memorial College for his appointment upon the recommendation of a committee composed of Mayor George Kreeck, Invill Hill and Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, chairman of the committee several weeks consideration.
The committee considered Registrar Foster the logical man for treasurer because, along with his other qualifications, he has a wider acquaintance among the alumni of K. U. than any other person in Kansas. He is also the third time 20,000 students during his thirty years of service. He has also been treasurer of the athletic association for a number of years.
Mr. Foster will have charge of all monies of the Corporation. He will attend to the collection of all notes and the disbursing of all funds. "It may be necessary to establish a separate office for the handling of the treasurer's business," Mr. Foster said.
