The senior class memorial will be completed Monday and will be dedicated on Tuesday, class day. Drawings to scale were furnished to the contractor, J. W. Glidden, and he assured the committee that the bench would be completed on Monday of Commencement week.
The memorial will be made of Carthage limestone and will be eight feet long and about four feet in height. The bench will be extremely plain except for an inscription in plain Roman letters running across the back of the seat and the class numerals on the front edge of the slabs.
The drawings were made by a senior in the School of Engineering Henry C. Ackerman, and were applied to Professors Griffith and Goldsmith.
Cale Buckles, chairman of the senior memorial committee wishes to thank Professors Griffith and Goldsmith for their work with the committee which has proven invaluable to the class in obtaining an artistic substantial bench for the class memorial.

BUT LITTLE CHANCE FOR
GENERAL CAMPUS PARADE
There is little chance of there being a general campus parade this week as was planned, if the action of the committee composed of the presidents of the different classes and their social committees are followed. The committee does not seem very enthusiastic about the parade and the men who do it have to be the parade unless there is assurance of it being a success.
The transcript is in the hands o Prof. D. C. Croissant of the extension division, and now has been approved by the University committee on publications. The volume as it is now contains 439 pages. This will be edited and cut down by Professor Croissant, however.

Of Houses Inspected by Committee the Present One
Is Better

1.
Two houses are under consideration but the one where the Union is now located is the most desirable, the members of the committee believe. Little has been done in regard to planning for the permanent Union but the committee members believe that with a full year in which to work, definite steps may be made so that the permanent Union will be well under way by the end of next year.
MAY COOPERATE WITH INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
Faculty of School of Engineering Considering Combined Work With State on Standard Rates.
C. J. Wilson, of the state insurance department, has been in consultation with Dean P. F. Walker of the School of Engineering concerning plans for co-operation between the engineering faculty and the insurance department in establishing a fixed standard for rating insurance in the towns of Kansas. It has been suggested that the School of Engineers might be of aid in testing the water works and fire apparatus of the various towns, with a view of making property less liable to destruction by fire.
There are no towns in Kansas that are considered to be in Class A with respect to safety from fire through preventative equipment and only a few are ranked in Class B. Although no definite arrangements have been made for co-operation, the matter is under serious consideration.

STUDENT UNION WILL
One of the regrettable conditions of the University in the past has always been that alumni who come back to Lawrence at Commencement time have no place where they may feel at home unless they are members of some fraternity or sorority. The temporary Student Union will furnish a place for the barbs to congregate, play the old football games, flunk the same old courses and reminisce to their hearts content.

of the states, the laboratory is not under the direct supervision of the State Board of Health, but is in charge of an experienced chemist under the direction of the Dean of the School of Pharmacy. This makes it possible for any personal prejudices to enter in to the work and puts a responsibility on the director for the reports that are made. Articles that are to be analyzed are sent to the University by the State Board of Health and submitted their authority to Dean L.E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, then takes charge, makes the analysis and submits his report to the Board. The report, as published is exactly as made at the University, and there is

TO WORK DURING SUMMER
Plan for Every Student to Talk to Legislative Candidates and Editors in His District.
The campaign for a permanent Union at the University was launched last night when the Student Council planned plans for a trip to Topeka next year, by one thousand students, to convince the members of the state legislature that the students really want a Union and the mill tax.
In addition to the tax the Council plans to have every student talk to the candidate for the legislature from his district during the summer, and to the editor of the newspaper in the town to give him this way it is hoped to give an appropriation to a Union and a mill tax provision from the legislature.
The Union as planned, would be common for men and women similar to the one now at Iowa State. The women will direct their efforts during the summer and next year to getting the alumni to further the proposition and the men wil work with the legislature.
Vic Bottomly was elected Council representative on the Jayhawker Board at the meeting. The provision as made at the preceding meeting of the Council was that the Council should have one man, Mr. Board, to contract made by the Board, and to receive for it twenty-five dollars.
