FACULTY ENDORSES MEMORIAL PROJECT
Committee Will be Elected to Assist in Drive for Million-Dollar Fund
Alumni Want to Have Part
Need for Early Action Urged by Speakers Before University Assembly
Endorsement of a project for the erection on the campus of a suitable memorial for University of Kansas men who died in the military service of the country, was expressed in resolutions adopted by the University Assembly Friday afternoon.
The resolution was presented after Prof. F, E. Mlevin had presented the plan for the Million Dollar Drive for the erection of a service building and stadium, and had presented the request of the Loyalty Committee that the faculty elect six members (the request previously had been for four) of a general administrative committee.
Professor Melvin outlined the plans so far as they have been developed, and Prof. W. J. Baumgartner went somewhat more into detail, explaining that the plan is to spend not to exceed $100,000 for a service building and the remainder of the $1,000,000 as far as it will go on a stadium. Discussion developed that no definite plan of procedure has been made, but it was assumed that the intention is not to begin either project until at least the greater part of the $1,000,000 is raised.
Several speakers declared the alumni of the University had long sought some concrete means of showing their loyalty and their interest in the University, and in one instance haste was urged for fear might divert funds now possible to obtain for Kansas.
Following is the text of the resolution adopted:
"Resolved: That this Assembly approves the idea of a well-organized movement of alumni, students, and faculty to erect on the University campus a suitable testimonial to those served in the war and co-operation and financial support. Resolved Further: That this assembly proceed to nominate and elect by mail six of its members t, serve on a joint committee of alumni and faculty on ways and means, said committee to have power to make investigations and resimilar projects in other institutions port back recommendations to this Assembly."
"It is the plan," said Professor Melvin "to have in this assembly a general, representative body that will really do things."

Both Treaty Factions Stand Firm.
But Hope for Decision
This Week

The bi-partisan conferences will be resumed this afternoon in Loige's office. Both Democrats and Republicans indicated that today's meeting
calls indicated that today may be a decisive one.

Alumni Conference With Board of Administration Closes Session Today
Discussion of a chancellor to succeed Chancellor Frank Strong will be the object of a committee of fifteen faculty members who will confer with the Board of Administration at Topanga Tuesday morning. This committee will review and endorse a proposal of the University Assembly at the request of the Board of Administration.
The committee is composed of: A. J. Boynton, F. W. Blackmar, H. P. Cady, C. E. Coghill, F. B. Dafns, L. G. Gibbons, T. M. Kellogg, D. G. Mitchell, D. L. Fatterson, C. G. Shaad, C. S. Skilton, M. T. Sudler, Olin Tempnel, and C. C. Williams. No chairman was elected at the informal meeting of the committee last Saturday; the committee outlined and the organization consequently has not been completed.
The committee will go to Topeka at 8:25 Tuesday morning and will meet the Board of Administration in an informal conference at 10 o'clock.
"The committee is ready to cooperate in any way with the Board," said Dean F. J, Kelly. "The Board of Administration has extended the commission, and of course, it is expected that the Board will take the lead. No discussion of prospective candidates has been engaged in by the committee. We will discuss any candidates where board of Administration may propose."
The most important thing in selection of a chancellor is ability to make good as an educator, and the state should be willing to go to a very high figure to obtain a man with such experience as the member of the committee. This expresses the general opinion of the committee, according to Dean Kelly who cited for example the offer of $20,000 made by Michigan University recently to a former assistant professor in Minnesota, which institution offered a salary of $25,000 to retain him.
