Faculty Changes Are Announced by Dean Swarthout Five Fine Arts Instructors Are Added to Roster; Four Students Included
Announcement of five new instructors in the School of Fine Arts for the coming school year was made this morning by Dean D. M. Swarghout. These instructors will take the place of three faculty members who have been appointed for further study, and two others who have resigned their positions.
Miss Minna Dorn, who has for the past two years been contrato soloi and teacher of voice, will return to teach in the summer place will be taken by Mrs. Alice Montierre, contrato from New York, who for the past two years has been teacher and soloist at the Illinois State University. Efforts were made there to retain her, and her salary was increased materially, but Mrs. Montierre was focussed on the music and wished to be nearer the larger musical centers. At present she is one of the artists under the concert management of Harry Cull
oratorie singing. She sang in kansas City for Dean Swartshout, who was favorably impressed with her ability and personality.
Miss Fanny May Ross, assistant professor of piano and Miss Louise Miller, assistant professor of voice, have been granted a year's leave of absence in order that they may study in New York during the coming year. Students must attend school that although there have been many applicants with excellent qualifications for the places, the selections are yet to be made. Mr. Swartwout will go to Chicago next week to interview visiting candidates in piano and voice.
Have Leave of Absence
Stuart Dickson, who has for the past few years been connected with the School of Fine Arts as assistant professor, will also in charge of classes in pedagogy, has tendered his resignation. He will take up work in the East. His place will be taken by Lee Green, who is in charge and an advanced student in piano.
Helen Marchell, senior in organ, will work on the School of Fine Arts faculty at the college one training classes, and will also have charge of some of the organ students. Helen Kennedy, senior in piano, will be available for assistance with orchestra lessons from the regular maximum schedule which is quite probable, due to the added requirements in piano and voice in the new four-year public school.
Changes Also in Painting
Changes have also been made in the department of painting and design in the School of Fine Arts, Chura University. Changes are made in the instructor in elementary design on a part-time basis, at the same time carrying on her own advanced work in the department. Miss Gladys Bates, who has had charge of public school art work and other classes on the part-time basis, resigns to take up teacher in the Wichita public schools.
Negotiations are now under way whereby it is hoped to effect an arrangement to bring a teacher of public school art at the university of Lawrence who will at the same time have charge of the teaching of public school art at the University and to place advanced students in the University as teachers in the various schools. It is similar to the one now employed in the public school music work in the University, Supt. H. P. Smith of the Lawrence schools and Dean Swartout of the University are working for the work in both school systems.

Nome, Alaska, May 17. —More than a week after their departure from Spitzbergen on the Norge, Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellworth, who were joined by three unseen Ellworth Norge expedition, rested in Nome today, safe one of the most remarkable places for aviation and exploration in history.
They had established, they said, that no great "polar continent" exists, and that most of it lies from one side of the world to the other by the way of the straight line between them.
They brought here with them the answer to two more of the great mysteries of the Arctic.
Ellsworth, Amundsen, Oscar Owaldich, chief engineer of the expedition, and Captain Oscar Wistling, navigator, who came from Teller and told of their trio.
Omdahl explained why it had been necessary to land at Teller. "There was such a heavy fog and snow that we were fortunate not to get too close, or impossible to reach. None, we fell short and had to make a forced landing. The Norge landed on the t炉 at Teller and the gas was immediately set out. She in now

Romo, May 17—If weather conditions had been good or wireless apparatus functioning normally, I am unable to estimate the distance (about 650 miles) more," said Commander Umberto Noble, of the polar diving NGO, reporting by radio from Antarctica.
He gave the premier a detailed account of the trip.
"We covered in 172 hours a distance of 13,500 kilometers (about 8,100 miles) from Alaska to the pole and Alaska was covered in 71 hours. The first leg was covered in 48 hours."
"On the second leg, from the pole to Point Barrow, we were hampered by the dangerous formation of icicles, causing slight damage to the Norge.
"The leg from Point Barrow to Naiad is most difficult, owing to a wind storm that caused deviation toward Bering Strait and rendered the hard hour the hardest."

A form was sent to all known graduates of the University living in foreign countries or dependencies with the request that it be filled out and returned for the information of the department of finance, and more than a hundred have been returned to the Alumni office.

Brandt Committee Plans Outline for "Honor Curricula"
New System Emphasizes Initiative; Submitted to Faculty Vote Tomorrow
Favor Department Plan
A tentative outline for "honors curricula" which will give special consideration to the superior student, has been drawn up by the Flii Kappa committee on the improvement of uncommon courses. This committee is the chairmanship of Dean J. G. Brandt. The outline will be submitted to the faculty tomorrow, not to be passed up, m. but to ask the faculty to express itself as to its attitude toward such courses and to say whether or not it desires the committee to continue with this line and present definite recommendations to the faculty next fall.
Favor Department.
The committee is in favor of the adoption of "departmental honor" rather than "honorary honor" and has in mind particularly that cannot hope to make a uniformly high scholarship record but who could and should be encouraged to do superior work in certain fields.
Initiative is the big thing left out of the college curriculum, leaders in the school, and students tend to think of their courses as units and not as going to make them.
The honors course will be for only the superior student in his department. To be eligible for such a course, he must have an average of 80 on all tests, and all his work and two grade points per credit hour in his major work; and he must be registered as an honora candidate in the dean's office, on recommendation of the department, not exceeding the middle of his junior year.
Combination Plan
The tentative outline given by the committee combines the regular honors course, with the definite correlation of majors and minors which has not been stressed as much here in the last few years.
A carefully outlined program prescribed by the department must be followed by the honors candidate. First, he must have a major of 30 hours in a junior-senior course. Some exceptions to the minimum of 30 hours may be made for departments whose work does not begin until the summer; for example, a part of the 20 junior-senior hours may be in departments other than the major one. He must have a prescribed minor or equivalent. He must ment the major work. The major and minors should require 50 to 60 hours. In addition to the above the major department may prescribe up to 20 additional hours in subjects that the department supplements the majors and minors.
Widely Accented Plan
Many educators are coming to be, according to Dean Brands, that the superior student can, under certain conditions, profit more by work classes, so the following provision is made: In the senior year, from three to eight hours of work, students are offered a problem of research type should be required. At the end of his work the individual will be given comprehensive oral and written examinations at the mastery of the field as a whole.
"An honors course conference was held last uping at the State University of Iowa, and there has been a general movement all over the United States for the last four or five years toward Dean Brandt. The first honors course program in the University of Iowa was presented to the faculty this month by the department of English.
"The honors course conference is not a new one," said Dean Brandt, who noted that he believed that it will come to play an important role in universities of the country."
