Concrete Piles Are Being Set in Shale Formation
Clay Soil Slows Up Work
Tests were made by the University engineers, to ascertain the strength of the shale formations below this clay.
"The work on the auditorium building in progress slowly," said D. E. Bowden, who is in charge of the exterior construction and early morning. When excavating for the footings, according to Mr. Bowden, it was discovered that the clay soil upon which the footings were to have been excavated would be holding to hold the load of the building.
"After the University made a test of the safe load for the shale," he said, "we decided it was best to place the building on concrete piles set into this shale formation. In order to do that with any measure of safety, we were compelled to bore 26 inch twists two feet into the shale. Four holes are drilled in the base, and have been poured with concrete. The concrete piles are reinforced by steel rods run through the center." Mr. Rowden said.
Howard Grady Accepts Position in New York
On the north end the University engineers are testing the strength of the concrete base, and then the non混凝土 concrete piles can be rested on it. In order to prevent the building from settling, the formations below the base are able to bear the same load all over.
Howard Grady, A. B., 25, dimutive captain of the 1925 cross-country track team, was in Lawrence last week on his way to New York where he has accepted a position with the California Spray Company.
Mr. Grady is well trained for such a position as he specializes in both the public and private schools at the University," said Professor Hungerford, who received a letter from him.
Beide being captain of the cross country team, Grady was quite active in other affairs as he was a member of a number of organizations. Some of the groups to which he belonged were: Sachen, Men's Student Council, K. Club, being president of that organization; Bentley, Men's Pan-Hellenic, Student's Friendship Committee, and the Stadium Drive.
Planet Mars Probably too Cold for Intelligent Life, Is Belief of K. U. Astronomy Professor
Far up in the sky moves the red planet Mars, a dying world one tenth the mass of the earth, which has attracted the interest and the fancy of the astronauts. We must have suggested the name of Mars, god of war. Numerous attempts have been made in different parts of the world to get in touch with this planet and countless theories have been adopted as the presence of life there.
Dr. Dinsmore Alter, head of the department of astronomy, does not say that life does not exist on Mars, but he does say that the evidence ascertained by such an experiment is against it. In the first place it receives only half the amount of heat from the sun that the earth does, Mars, as far as is known, is largely a desert waste undrained of water. Mars is about one half of that on our highest mountains. If we were transported there from the earth we would die instantly. These facts are not conclusive against the presence of amniotic fluid in Mars, so life could be added to these conditions.
However, the temperature as measured by recently invented instruments is a factor against the existence of intelligent life. The temperature at Mars is 58 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
Thoral Union Picnic Held Friday Afternoon in South City Park
Baseball Game Between Tenor and Bass Sections, Is Main Attraction
The chief sport which was the annual baseball battle between the tenor team and the defense, the tenor team under Frederick Guild seemed to be imbued with a little too much charm for the base team. The tenor team won by a score of 6:3.
The second annual choral union picnic was held yesterday, evening at 5:30 in the south park. A large company assembled at the appointed time, and various sports were participated in, in earnest.
The sports for women were entered into with whole heartedness. The contestants, including the last game found Dean Searthout and Carl Lassig at the head of the contests. The last game was interrupted, however, by the call for a winner.
The picnic supper was under the arrangement of Mrs, C, W. Stratford A few at the end of the line, owing to the unusual appetite of those who had gone before, found less variety of 'od to choose from.
It was estimated that over 400 persons were seated at the long tables and enjoyed supper together.
and enjoyed supper together.
The city had strong lights around the pavilion of the park, and at 7:30 the chorus had about forty or fifty minutes of singing. Not only were the old familiar songs sung, but also those from the school's solo numbers were by Irène Pearson and W. F. Downing, both of the School of Fine Arts faculty chorus Dorothy Jones, accompanist this year and Mrs. A. J. Anderson, accompanist last year officiated at the piano. At 9 o'clock, a part of the company led the gymnastium, where a seven piece ensemble, the University Sun Dodgers, formed music for a dance.
"The whole affair," said Dean Swarholt, "had the genuine air of community affaire, and all who at that time were feeling that it had been worthwhile."

An alcove of books written by DePauw alumni is being compiled by Signa Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity, and will be placed in the library of DePauw University next fall.
At noon the temperature rises as high as 60 degrees above zero. The only possibility for the existence of intelligent life is a frog like, cold blooded race of creatures which are able to freeze up at night and thaw in out the day and thus survive. On the earth the warm blooded animals have developed the most because the coldest environment is it. It is possible that the reverse is true on Mars. In the winter the air at the poles of the planet freezes.
The canals of Mars have also come in for much discussion and speculation. They have not been seen by the telescope, but it has been noted by reputable astronomers.
When we look at Mars we are looking at the earth millions of years hence, a barren, dying plant awaiting the time when at the end of its shell come the invicible explosion and the beginning of a new cycle.
The cannels have not been seen in the largest telescopes but only in the smaller ones. This network of so-called cannels allows the presence of life, Doctor After suggests that the optical illusion coming from a number of dots at a distance appearing as a straight line may cause people to believe they are to be a network of cannels.
New Haven, Conn., May 22—Yale was around today over drinking parties that went on during the Regent's Ball at U.S. Capitol alumni continued to be received.
Drinking at Yale Regatta Arouses Irc of Alumni
(United Press)
Under the caption "Justifiable Criticism," the Vale Daily News editor criticized the educator responsible for the education which shocked the graduates.
The editorial was written around a letter printed in the alumni weekly from a graduate of the class of 197 who condemned the "dissaggressing" action during the Regatta, and "doubted it is now a 6ft place to send a e-mail."
"This small minority," the news said, of those that lack of gentlemanly manners many deem smaller than it really was. To the minority is largely due the blame for its failure.
Hospital Need Stressed
At a special meeting of Square and Compass held last Wednesday, it was decided that the securing of adequate hospital facilities for the University was worthy of continued efforts on the part of the fraternity.
Masons Urge Better Building and State Support
Plans were made whereby each member of the fraternity would go before the Masonic lodge and other organizations of his home community this summer in an effort to bring to the people of the state a realization of the promise of a better health and financial support of the health program here at the University.
"Jawrence has several small private hospitals, and the Liberty, Memorial hospital, but the University hospital is a very large institution will accept contagious diseases. A capacity of 18 beds is entirely too small, and in case of an epidemic I doubt if all the town hospitals to hold accommodate a hundred patients."
"We adopted a resolution last month, calling attention to the need of students for support of the hospital," Arthur M Clohse, president of the Masonic fraternity explained yesterday. "We have been investigating the situation carefully, and we do not desire to incite any violence." The program of the University administration, but we do feel that the present hospital situation is unearable. "The people of the state have a right to know that the University has been equipped, and it is required to furnish decent quarters for sick students where proper care and protection will be provided. The University has grown greatly in the last few months, and we have not been materially increased.
"As a part of our effort to get this matter before the people of the state, we intend sending copies of our resolutions to every Masonic body in the state, and to the governor and the members of the state legislature."

Cracks in the walls of the basin, due apparently to faulty construction, caused a flooding of gallons of water. Dean Walker will be asked to arrange for employing a competent, unbiased engineering firm to take personal responsibility.
Pulman, Wash, May 22—Seven members of the editorial staff of the Evergreen, Washington State college tri-weekly paper have been suspended from their offices because of publication in the Yellow Jacket, a joke sheet of the local chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalistic fraternity.

Ancient Stone Lanterns, Used Once to Guide Oriental Spirits Guard Spooner-Thayer Museum
Two stone Japanese hantterns are now placed in front of Spooner-Thayer art museum.
These lanters are a part of the Thayer art collection, but unfortunately no information accompanies the collection relative to the history, antiquity, place or date of acquisition of the hanters. It is, however, an established fact that they are genuine weathered surfaces, it would be safe to say that they are very old—peppers many hundreds of years.
There is a belief among Buddhists of Japan that the spirit after death lingers about the living for several years and that these disembodied ghosts are much troubled on account of the darkness.
Why, where, or when in Japan the first stone lanterns were made in lust in the haze of antiquity. They are referred to in history as early at the thirteenth century, but how far they came from reference is difficult to determine.
In former times, if the relatives of the dead persons could afford it, the would erect a stone lantern and keep a light burning in it for three or four years for the benefit of the spirit it is on stay on earth. The spirit was given to the priest as a memorial to the lantern and the lantern presented to the Buddhist temple. Thus the stone

According to Seizo Ogino, a resident of Tokio and进行graduate work in the University, the stone lanterns are not being made any more and have lost most of their former religious significance.
This custom observed through many centuries as it has been, has resulted in the accumulation of tens of thousands of stone lanterns.
The lanterns may be seen by the hundreds in Japanese parks. No park, however small, is considered complete without a lantern. During religious festivals at the present time little oil lamps are placed in the lanterns and those who have attended the festivals say they will produce is indescribably beautiful.
The May issue of the Asia magazine gives a full page illustration of the temple, and shows both sides of the path lined with stone lanterns as close as possible.
The University of Kannan is more fortunate than it realizes in having two above bunkers. Recently the University of Kannan's account was given a similar lantern.

Hill Dishonesty Is Topic of Debate of Weekly Forum

William Davis and Dorothy Rose-brought visits classes Friday presenting the case to the students. Miss Davis, who is posing a drama reform, but there is dissonance on the campus and we believe that there are many who are not sure what dissonance it is. A college professor said that 90 per cent of the students of that institution cheated on examinations. We believe that something should be done to eliminate some of apparent dissonance on the campus.
Poster to Be Placed
This week the committee will place posters challenging campus dishonesty, that is existent.
Miss Walker in comment said, "We are not in favor of any system of compulsion. Nor do we favor the attack." She also says some success in the School of Law.
