State Architect Completes Plans for Auditorium
New Building to Be Locate Between Haworth Hall and Engineering Grounds
Plans for the building of the University Hydrodrium have been completed by State Architect Charles D. Cuthbert and designed by Marvin Hall, the engineering building and Hawthorn hall, the geology building, and will be set back from the campus drive beyond campus to allow square access or court will be formed.
At the board of reps meeting Feb. 27 the plans for the auditorium were favorably received. The board announced that the state architect will be to receive bids for the new building. Will be open about April 15.
The 1957 legislative appropriated $200,000 for the University to be used in building the auditorium. These funds are not sufficient to complete the work, so the balcony will be finished when new appropriations for this use are available.
Building Will Seat 5,600
The seating capacity at first will be somewhat overloaded with the seating floor finished the building will accommodate 6,500. The building itself is large, 158 feet by 200 feet, and it is expected to take care of large crowds when occasion demands. The auditorium is of the collegiate Gobble type and will come with Walmart library in appear-
The floor slope towards the front to within fifty feet of the stage, where it becomes a flat area, which is to be reached by players and coaches needed. The flat floor is so made, however, that if the University ever finds it does not need the place for basketball the floor can be taken up or moved elsewhere, and continued further toward the stage.
The stage will be exceptionally large, 30 feet deep and with a proximen arch 80 feet wide. It will have a seating capacity of about 400 and during a basketball game, when the crowd is large, the bleachers may be placed on it.
New Orget to be installed.
Problems are being made to install the system in Kansas which was recently purchased by the state from the Newman theater in Kansas.
The operal chairs just in front of the stage will be fastened to the maple planks of concealed hooks. The goals will be entirely removable so that the auditorium will have the appearance of a basketball court only on the day of game.
Charles D. Cuthbert, state architect said that a special study of the exterior of the building would be made to ensure that students will work with the other buildings on the campus. Mr. Cuthbert further stated, "After practically a year's study with Chancellor Landley and heads of all departments, we have arrived at a plan which will give the University of Kansas the finest auditorium of its kind for the various purposes for which it serves."

All freshmen who expect to go out for freshman baseball report for a meeting Monday & p. m., March 15 at John P. Sabe, Gymnastics - John P. Sabe.
Spring, that winsome and charming goddess of youth and beauty, soon will touch Mount Oread's summit with her magic, magic wind, and the college maiden's fancy again will turn cagely to thoughts of her wardrobe. The dress she wears will sun-flooded days and on warm, still-star-lit evenings; hats, demure or audacious, to keep black, nuburn or gold curls from being blown about by glacier, capricious winds, and slippers, slender and petite, to cloth feminine feet that dance on shining floors or green-greatened campus.
So, with Spring days not far off,
Dame Fashion already is issuing decrees concerning the latest modes,
Graceful flares, godets and smart plats still are greatly in vogue and now a variety of occasions. The flare, however, now is being placed nearer the waistline, while godets frequently begin there. For those who prefer the severe silhouette there is the manish, straight-line frick when leads itself to an increasingly quaint, close "bovish hobs."
Afternoon dresses, so well suited for teas and alf-*atomes*" are being shown in a variety of dignity, passthade shades and are cut from materials of silk crepe, georgette, chiffon and taffeta.
Psychology Instructor Bases Class Work on Seashore Music Test
Experiment Conducted to See Whether Practice Affects Musical Ability
In an effort to determine whether or not practice has any appreciable effect on the native ability of individuals in music, Musa Beulah Morrison, instructor in psychology, is at present conducting an experiment with the various sections of her laboratory classes, using standardized materials for her work.
Fraternity parties and spring formalss—the sound of wailing, moonning saxophones, beating drums and the alluring, symphony rhythm of a college orchestra—all a fascinating pairing. I will solve many of her problem concerns correct party attire by adopting lace. A dress of gold or silver, black or cream lace permits flowing sleeves if desired. Silver cloth bodywear with bright, skirted skirts of a contrasting intensity, distinctive, French size of sophistication.
The Seasahore test, as used in the department of psychology, assumes five innate, inherent abilities in music. They are ability to distinguish small differences in pitch, and in intensity, ability to Judge time correctly, to select the most harmonious note, and to remember musical notes. The test is carried on to test the individual's native ability in these respects, and Miss Morrison, in her work, uses each one of the five divisions as a basis for her experiment. Using her laboratory classes at subjects, she has given, for the pas semester, and is, during her course, given the division to answer to a section once a week.
Whether the evening dress will be long or short needs to be bothering many young women. Most designers show evening models with extremely short, pimpin skirts, and Paris designers indicate that the short skirt is as much in style as it is flair.
However, the "Robe de Style" is shown in ankle length and is made of bonfant taffeta, in slim-waisted, full-skirted models. This type of dress has found favour, as the army, arty type, admirably suited to the slender figure.
Tailored suits, in gray, boe de rose, and creamy ties are very good. Coats with jauyn capes are a desirable addition to the spring wardrobe and like trousers, they also make an excellent makes slim, straight coats possible if the wearer desires.
for one semester. At the end of the semester, the results of each section on its particular division of the test are summed up and conclusions, as to whether the repetition of the test results improves or improves in the scores, are drawn.
Each section is given but one division of the test, and is given a test on this division once a week for the entire semester. At the termination of the present semester, all five of the sections of the test will have been tried. According to Mrs Morrison no definite conclusions can be obtained until all six of the sections have been tested, and no results of her experiment will be given until the expiration of the present term.
Also, Miss Morrison has started this term to carry out an experiment to determine the effect of definite training on the ability of the individual. To perform this experiment, she selects students in their freshman year, who having no previous musical experience in the University. Her experiment will extend over a period of four years, and her conclusions will be based upon the results during each of the four years, as shown by her audibles.
Prof, and Mrs. Allen Crafton, and Prof, and Mrs. Raymond H. Wheeler will be the guests of Pt Bri Phi at dinner Wednesday evening.
