Big Sisters Organize for Work Next Fall
for Work Next Fall
the purpose of the Big Sister movement of the Y.W.C.A. will be to create democracy among women on the Hill and to interest freshmen in school activities. This was the decision of 100 young women who discussed the movement in Myers Hall Monday afternoon.
"The future welfare of K.U. depends on good class organizations," said Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women. "I want you women, through your little sisters to encourage it." Our class organizations are more diverse and feel more fall hard to hold the classes together. We want real affairs.
"I want to emphasize the importance of having more University work done free. The work on the Jay-team activities should not be paid for."
Mary Burnett, chairman of this year's work said:
"The movement can be made one of the biggest things on the Hill next fall if you women are willing to make it such. The big sisters idea is not only being tried at K.U. but all over the Nation. It suggests the looking for new women to give our new women a good first impression of K.U. treat them as friends. Don't be a slacker after the first week. Stick to your job."
K. U. Student Returns from Red Cross Work
Elizabeth Plank, c'18, Home Service Worker, Visits Her Parents Here
Elizabeth Plank, c'18, who has been in St. Louis in the Home Service Work of the Red Cross since October is home on *two* weeks vacation. Her work has been with the National Guard, which discharged or are still in the service.
"Our work is only with the dependent and not with the relatives of soldiers," said Miss Plank. "Of course we do emergency relief always, but if after careful investigation of the emergency situation, we was not dependent on the soldier we withdraw our relief. Our biggest problem at first was obtaining the allotments of soldiers which were withheld for various reasons, but now our work has to do mostly with the relatives of soldiers who received the service or who have returned, unable to carry on their full amount of work."
Miss Plank has been a visitor to a district in the central part of St. Louis which is a mixture of coloree people, the cheap boarding class and the higher class of people who live on the street. The last class has mostly to do with insurance, discharge papers, liberty bonds and vocational training.
"There is wonderful co-operation among the professions of St. Louis in this work. One lawyer does most of our work free of charge and any doctor will give services free. Place n the hospitals have been obtained or our patients when pay patients were turned away, said Miss Plank.
"We have to be careful not to be worked. Everyone will try to get something from the Red Cross if they can. All cases are investigated carefully before helping and all help is needed. We work with that it will be paid back later. We work in co-operation with the charity organizations of St. Louis."
Miss Plain expects to return to
R. Louis for several more months
of time.

Princeton Man Chooses Five Best Memorials
Humblest Endeavor Should be in Hands of an Artist, Says Prof. Mather
"The five best memorial monuments in the world are": Memorial Hall at Harvard, Arch of Titus at Rome, College Square, race in the Louvre, and Saint-Gaudens' Shaw Memorial on Boston Commons," says Frank Jewett Mather, Jr., in an article on war memorials in the history of the American Magazine of Art.
"On the whole," says M. Mather, "the monumental memorial building dedicated to some permanent use, and frequented, seems to me the fittest form. Some hall, of course, should be purely memorial—a sanctuary. Something impressive to look at and plainly meaning loyalty and heroesimply meant that something is to put seven the humblest memorial in the hands of an artist, and to avoid the shop-mad products of the Civil War." Mr. Mather is professor of art at Princeton University and one of the best critics of art.

Plain Tales From the Hill
The accomodating senior woman reading to the weary sophomore from a metropolitan daily-"the 89th big feat-"
Someone writes in a news story about the memorial services, saying, "And the men who were in the service will wear their uniforms in as far as practical." Another case of all depending on the point of view.
Interruption by the loyal one, "That makes me tired. Here they went to fight for us and then these old news reporters fan of their personal appearance."
Fraternity upper-classman, in general, would like to discover the method the Mu Phis use to reduce their freshmen to the degree of humbleness that one of them displayed in a telephone conversation recently. The freshman happened to be the only woman at the university where all the end of the line had asked for several persons, the humble one remarked, "No, there's no one at home at all!"
Socialistic influence threatens to limit art production of our country. It took a student in the "still life" class of the art department six months to finish a composition made up of blue and white Japanese vase and two other articles grouped with three large red apples because someone kept taking the apples. Finally the stale red apples applied to her each night and now she has them where all may come and look their fill.

Stadium Would Cost $15 to $30 Each Seat Says Expert's Report
Plain Structure to Seat 20,000 Would Call for $306,000 to $350,000
Williams Gives Figures
Amphitheater Similar to That of New York Would Demand $650,000
A report giving an estimate of the cost of constructing an athletic stadium and discussing possible sites on the campus has been made to the Senate Memorial Committee by Prof. C. C. Williams, head of the department of civil engineering. It is, in part, as follows:
"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 site of the former McCook National. While there may be, and doubtless are, other sites that would be as feasible as these, yet these two seem to be in the minds of those who favor building a stadium as a memorial. They are the two sites suggested by the general director. However, they are typical of two types of construction, that of McCook Field representing a structure built entirely on artificial structural supports and that south of the gymnasium representing a structure resting part on the natural ground "one."
PROVIDE FOR 20,000
"Mr. Hamilton informs me that the largest attendance at any athletic contest on McCook Field to date is between 11,500 and 12,000. Mr. Hamilton recommends building a stadium of 20,000 capacity, and this figure was adopted for the following estimates. The horseshoe shape structure considered has the dimensions of the field suggested by him. With this length of eightteen inches the stadium space of eighteen inchseat, twenty-two rows of seats would be required, and the following estimates are on this basis.
COST APPROXIMATES $306,000
"Adapting the plans of a similar structure which I have available, and estimating the quantities from such modified plan, the cost of constructing bleachers without cover or any ornamentation, with a curtain wall at the back but practically unadorned in any manner, and with a relatively simple entrance, would be approximately $306,000.
This is based on nprices quoted in the Engineering News-Record for April, 1919, and would be for a structure built entirely on artificial supports resembling in form the present bleachers. The details and quantities of the set design were based may be examined at my office by any one interested.
"The site south of Robinson Gymnasium would require about 60,000 cubic yards of excavation, costing $350 per square foot. Moreover, the large amount of water that seeps from this side hill would require extensive drainage cost approximately $12,000. This site would also require a new building structure, of course, but the cost for the entire project would probably be about $550,000 for the bare structure.
"The stadium for the New York City College is representatives of a stadium that has been given architectural treatment suitable for a memorial. It has a seating capacity of 20,000 and the amount perhaps $50,000 was used in excavation, etc., not necessary under conditions at the University of Kansas. The pavilion at the entrance to the stadium as for a 7,000 seat stadium.
"The cost of a stadium built on this plan at the University would probably be, therefore, about $600.00, allowing 48 per cent as the average increase of materials and labor now in the Lawrence over the price in New York in 1915.
"This is a decorative structure of Greek style of architecture and would be a creditable addition to the campus at the University of Kansas. I may state in this connection that there is no site on or near the campus that is peculiarly adapted topographically to build a stadium resting on natural earth slopes, such as has been employed at a few other institutions.
SEAT-COST $15 TO $30
"Judging from the experiences of other institutions, a stadium built at present prices would probably cost $15 to $30 a seat, depending on the amount of architectural treatment and special facilities afforded.
"I have tabulated below some data relative to the cost of existing athletic
