Contract For Wrecking S. A. T. C Barracks Let To Peairs Of Haskell
Material from Three Buildings Will be Used at Indian Institute
Salvage Brings U. S. $11,500
Contract Requires That Barracks at University be Removed By September 1
The contract for the wrecking of the S. A, T. C. barracks was let yesterday by the University to H. B. Pearis, Superintendent of Haskell Institute for $11,000, the largest of the eight or ten bids received. This includes the eight on the Golf Links and the three east of Marvin Hall. The barracks at the Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosedale, which were used for the medical students, were bought by F. H. Crites of Rosedale for $500.
The contract requires that the barracks at the University be wrecked and removed from the grounds on or before the first of September.
Haskell Institute is in need of a quantity of such material as is contained in the barracks, according to Mr. Peatres, and the government authorized him to buy it. Only three barrackes were needed a willow but, but without a willow, Mr. Peatres vide the sale of the barracks, so Mr. Peatres bid for all of them.
"We have no use for more than three of them and the government agreed to buy only that many," said Mr. Peairis today, "but we were helping both the University and ourselves by taking all of them, so we will probably dispose of the ones we do not need."
The Haskell students will do the wrecking of the three barracks that they need, which will be either Barracks 1, 2, and 3, or 2, 3, and 4. They will begin work within the next few days and expect to have them all cleared in about four or five days according to Superintendent Pearls.
Hale H. Cook, district director for the Committee on Education and Special Training, is at the University today making arrangements for the final financial settlement between the government and the University for the erection of the barracks.
Sherwin Kelly Instructor in Geology This Quarter
Lieut. Sherwin Kelly, B. S.'17, has been discharged from service and will be an instructor in the department of geology this quarter. Lieutenant Kelly was sent to the first officer's training school at Fort Riley in May, 1917 but withdrew and entered the air service in June. He was stationed on various fields in Illinois and Texas. He received his commission as second lieutenant in January 1918 and went overseas in October 1918. He was with the 96th squadron.
"I saw a lot of France" said Lieutenant Kelly. "If the war had continued two weeks longer, I would have been on the front. Paris is a wonderful place and is the most beautiful city I have ever seen."
No Psychological Tests to Be Given Until Fall
Nothing further will be done with the psychological test by the Vocational Division this year because of lack of time and of funds, according to Prof. W. S. Hunter. Prof. Walker, head of the vocational training division, said there were a considerable number of "noes," probably because the students did not understand the test. The committee expects to resume the tests next fall.
Telephone Rates Up
The State Public Utilities Commission has allowed the Kansas Telephone Company to charge $2.00 for a straight line connection phone and $1.65 for a two party line. The increase in rates will cause the University to pay $1700 approximately for telephone service which is an increase of something like $1100. The University is run on a private box exchange with 151 phones and twenty-seven extensions.

Plain Tales From the Hill
"Wish I had a date," said Ima Card.
"Well, I have a date, but you get me a comp and I'll get you a date," answered E. Z. Mark.
It has been impossible for The Daily Kansan to get an enrollment story to date. The cubs want to know how long it takes the dean of the College and his force to count to 1,000.
Mathematics professor: "Now, is that plain?"
Flunker: "No; I thought it was round."
A professor came on the Hill this morning with his soft collar turned inside out to save the 3-cent laundry bill. When he entered the class room the students laughed, and upon examination it was found that the laundry mark was very conspicuous.
"Have you had any experience in boxing?" Pete Gross, the boxing instructor asked of Husky Nick, the frosh.
Fred Stringfellow is cutting down the h.c.l. by catching cats for the anatomy classes. String says he can get two or three a day now, and has asked if kittens will count as cats.
There are several leagues that should be holding attention at present, but the K. U. student is more interested in the "Hash-House" League than in the League of Nations.
"Sure, I worked in a box factory before coming to K. U." was the candid reply.
Prohibitionist View: Why couldn't it have been put off three days so we could celebrate a double Independence Day on July 4?
If the cuts the students make across the campus were made into walks the campus would be entirely of concrete.
The Popular View: Why couldn't it have been put off three days so we could celebrate July 4 on that date instead of July 17?
"How was the meet?" asked May B. Good.
"I saw several racy costumes," said Professor I, Markam Down.
Hip, hip, they go tripping along, not only tripping in the dainty sense of the word, but actually and literally tripping. It is twenty minutes' hike from Green to Ab (according to the laws, who are in a position to judge); twenty-five minutes from Fraser to Ad, and fifteen minutes from Fraser to Blake.
With the announcement of the subjects for the Y. M. C. A. meetings the wise students are predicting that there will be standing room only in the building.
Last week it was "Green Stockings" and this week we have with us "Mary's Ankle." We might refrain from mentioning these facts were it not that they are both produced at the Bower-sock.
All-Faculty Meeting
I hereby call a meeting of the University Assembly of all teachers of the University for tomorrow, Friday afternoon, at 4:30 in Snow Hall lecture room. Deans and heads of departments are expected to see that all per sona in their departments are present.

Date of Popularity Ball Announced for May 30
The date of the Popularity Ball, given in honor of the winners of the Popularity Contest, has been announced for May 30.
"In order to insure a good floor, we have engaged F.A.U. Hall for the party instead of Robinson Gymnasm," said Lynn Hershey, manager. "Therefore it will be necessary to limit the number of couples."
Eddie Kuhn's orchestra will furnish the music and the manager promises that Eddie Kuhn and Chaquette will appear in person.
A short, snappy stunt will be put on by the winners of the Popularity Contest, Hershey said today.
The price of the dance will depend on the decision of the Student Affairs Committee, and will be announced later.
