Engineers Appoint Committees for Open House Day
Demonstrations Consist Of Actual Work Done in Laboratories of School
The final plans for engineers' open house and demonstrations to be held from 9 to 12 tomorrow were announced by Prof. F. M. Dawson of the department of hydraulics today. The student committee in charge of arrangements has been appointed by the Board of Certification, and will be in charge of Robert I. Borgs and T. C. Thee as joint chairmen.
The others will be under this committee and will be picked from the honorary and professional societies of the school. The other members of the others will all be members of the upper classes, thus assuring the visitors of accurate information about the expedition.
Actual "Lab" Work to Be Shown The open house this year will consist of a tour through the laboratories of the school, instead of a number of miniature models as in the past. All the equipment of the laboratories will be in full operation during the tour.
The studio and broadcasting room of the University of Kansas radio station, KFKU will be open during the demonstration and members of the staff will be there to explain the operation of the station to any visitors.
The industrial department will show various manufactured goods made in the state of Kansas. This will be one of the most interesting of the exhibits because a great many of the residents of the state are unfamiliar with number and value of the materials made in the state, and Professor Dawson.

Gridiron banquet secrets are out, and the intended big blow-out for tonight booms up as a frizzier rather than a sizeable. Members of the journalistic fraternity were in tears early this afterward, when the porter for the Kansan had apolied their little party for them by getting all the inside doors.
Roastmaster Chef Shore is up i the air, plainly worried about the momentum proportions his job has undergone. But the crisis of the affair has been crushed. President "Chick" is nervous; now, "Woom" is not; he was his only comment, "This surely will kill our Sour Owl Patt, Owl business manager, crief."
And a Kanana reporter was the cause of it all. Yes, sir, he sneaked up to the University Commons and saw H. H. Ball, superintendent of building, and grounds, bossing the construction at the west end of the cafeteria. And a miniature piano was being loaded onto the stage. Nothing amounted about that, is there? Looked like arrangements for an ordinary affair. And the Kanana reporter saw him in the basement. In horseback fashion, uh-huh! But, there's more. The windows at Wiedemann's where can’t be lifted like those at Wiedemann’s where other Gridlin banquets have been eaten, and the Kanana is planning to organize a mob on the lawn.

Political Science Majors Hear Chicago Professor
"New types of problems are being set up which are vastly more interesting and more important to the younger generation of political scientists than the old legalistic point of view ever could have been. The results of our research were more precise than they were a decade ago," said Professor White.
Professor White is at present engaged in a country wide tour making a study of the different city manager governments throughout the country.
*Professor White* has divided his study into three parts. The first part was with the Chicago intervieweed 800 employees of the Chicago municipal government in order to determine the conditions which govern the efficiency of municipal employees. Mainly through these interviews, he has studied the conditions which lower efficiency in municipal work were; political interference, lack of recognition, lack of opportunity, an unfair wage scale, poor efficiency records, and waiving the

Police Say Cars on 14th Are Real Traffic Menace
"Parking of cars on Fourteenth street is a real menace and the city ordinance concerning this act must be enforced," was the word received from the police station this morning.

According to the city authorities, parking is permissible on side streets if the car is parallel to the curb. Due to the steep shops on the hill, the front doors of these shops are so that when cars are parked on both sides of the street, there is courtyard room to pass between.
