Terre Hante, Ind., Dec. 11.—No mines have returned to work today. They were awaiting the official order to return. Reports from somesee of the state, however, showed many mines working on normal schedule.
"May I not express to you and through you to the officers of your organization my appreciation of the patriotic action which you took in Indianapolis yesterday. Now we must all work together to see to it that a settlement just and fair to everyone is reached without delay."
START WAS IN 1916
Y. M. C. A. Board Began Work For Commons but War Interrupted Plans
In 1916, the board of the Y. M. C. A. started plans for a student building that would not only include the two Christian Associations but would also provide many necessary comforts for the students. The plan of the buildings, labs, housing rooms, cafeteria, and other convenient conveniences for students.
A committee was appointed, and then the war came on. The plans were deprived until the spring of 1919 when a new committee began work on the plans for a student building, which came into prominence and the Y. M. C. A. committee stopped its work because the memorial idea was the same thing. Because of conflicting opinions, the Memorial idea was carried to the end of the year, and this fall, the decision was decided not to revive the matter.
The board again got busy, and it decided that the best thing to do was to make the building prespect for the University commons and the stadium on campus. We had a captain's paign, and get every organization behind the campaign. Thus it was that a number of students representing organizations on the campus got together. Or Wednesday and planned definitely a concert or an million dollars and a greater K. U.,
Two to Attend Athletic Meeting in New York
Dr. F, C Allen and Pref. C, C Will go will to New York to attend the meeting of the National Collegiate Athletics Board on December 29, at the Hotel Astor.
"New rules to govern all forms of athletics will probably be taken up," said Mr. Williams. "The extension of boxing as an inter-collegiate sport will probably be one of the main considerations of the conference." Mr. Williams is the representative of the sixth national district.
Launch Plans to Raise

ing rooms. The top floor should be made into rooms which would be available for visiting alumni. This should not cost more than one half-million others. The other half-million should be used for the beginning of the stadium.
"Why a program of this kind?" questioned Professor Baumgartner. "To meet all needs. It would give us a student service building, take care of cafeteries, and meeting places. It would start an athletic ground. It would take care of the memorial idea and give a background to the loyalty movement. In addition, this project would help to move county clubs to work on. Lastly, it will give the whole University a combined plan to work upon.
"Now for a working committee, how shall it be chosen? I have a suggestion if you wish to take the matter up. This committee should consist of four student representatives, four faculty members (preferably alumn) and four alumni members. That is the plan that I give to you for your consideration."
PROJECT ENDERED ETHIUMISATLISTLY
One after another, faculty members and students gave the endorser a speech presented by Professor Baumgartner.
"The University A. E. F., has been trying to make plans for a suitable memorial to our comrades. Governor William Studer, president of the University A. E. F., "However, I am sure that the organization will be willing to build."
"I think the Alumni will do all they can to further the project," said Miss Agnes Thompson, secretary of the Alumni Association. "The Graduate School offers training in the service of the University, and can be used to further the movement."
"This movement will develop enthusiasm that will benefit K. U. The idea is to get all big things that will help K. U. be more proficient. Clarified Prof. F. E. Melvin, "Professor Baugartner's scheme is all right, and all we have got to do is to get back of it to make it work. The building must be a spirit of loyalty behind it."
SPIRIT OF COMMISSION DESIGN
Prof. Goldwin Goldship, representative of the Student Interest Committee, said all institutions must get behind some project; either a stadium, a memorial building, or both. Divisions must be avoided and all work together for the good of the University.
Desirability of a common meeting ground for students of the University was urged by Dr. James Natsimith and Dr. Robert M. value of additional athletic fields
Prof. George C. Shaad, active chairman last spring of the University Senate's Memorial Committee, declared that while the Senate has been working on a memorial plan, he is sure to help with any plan that would be made.
To Test Intelligence Of Freshmen Engineers

"I have investigated somewhat in detail the cost of building an athletic stadium. This estimate is figured for two possible sites, namely, the site of the present McCook Field and the one directly south of Robinson Gyms. Doubts there are other sites that would be an feasible in these.
The largest attendance at any athletic contest on McCook Field to date is between 11,500 and 12,000. The director of athletics recommends that the field be 1000 capacity, and this figure was adopted for the following estimates.
Practices are being held on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, in the afternoon in the gym, and the men are given a sharp hour of practice. The girls have freshen hard, and some practice games will be staged soon.
FOR SIMPLE STRUCTURE, $300,000

"The stadium for the New York College is representative of a stadium that has been given architectural treatment suitable for a memorial. It has a seating capacity of 7,000 and cost $250,000. Of this amount perhaps $80,000 was used in excavation, etc., not necessary under conditions at the University of Kansas. The purpose of the cost of a for $20,000 stadium as for a 7,000 seat stadium.
