MORE CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION—Summertime is the season for construction at KU, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house, Gower
Place, is no exception. A four-story addition is being built to the south of the present structure. Extensive remodeling is being done inside.
O'Leary Hall Changes Sex
O'Leary Hall, which has a capacity of 100, is being changed this fall to a residence hall for upperclassmen women, because the demand for women's dormitory facilities has exceeded the normal capacities of Corbin-North College, Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Grace Pearson Halls.
With O'Leary, the University will have dormitory facilities for ap- proximately 800 women and places for 200 more in the scholarship halls.
Carruth Hall, a twin of O'Leary immediately to the north, will continue to accommodate 100 men. The two halls share a common front entrance but otherwise are wholly separate.
Despite the shift, there will be a net gain of 332 places in the men's residence hall system this fall. The opening of Olin Templein Hall for 432 men at West 15th and Engel Road provides modern dormitory facilities for 948 men with scholarship hall places for 250 more. Luther N. Lewis Hall, a twin of Templein on West 15th, will be ready with another 432 beds in February.
Construction costs in the U.S. which went up about 100 per cent from 1922 to 1929, have risen 103 per cent since World War II.
CHAMBERY, France —(UPI)— A modern-day Hannibal with a one-elephant army set out Monday to conquer the Alps.
Man, Elephant Assault Alps
Prof. J. M. Hoyte of Cambridge University is trying to prove a point, and he borrowed a two-ton Indian elephant from the Turin, Italy, zoo to help him do it.
The elephant, a frisky 12-year-old known unimaginatively as Jumbo, set out from the little village of Fort-de Montmelian on the route that Hoyte says Hannibal used in 218 B.C. to launch an attack into the heart of the Roman empire.
Historians know that the Carthaginian general at the age of 26 led 30,000 men, 5,000 horses and 37 elephants across the Alps from Gaul—which is now France—into the Roman stronghold of the Po valley—which is now part of Italy.
What the historians do not know is what mountain pass Hannibal used. Academic speculation ranges over a wide variety of passes, from the 4,500-foot Mongine to the 6,000-foot Little St. Bernardo.
Prof. Hoyte, who is the same age Hannibal was when he made his Alpine assault, believes the Carthaginian used the Clapier pass, which rises 7,300 feet in the chilly Alpine air.
The films are presented by the bureau of visual instruction and are free to faculty and students.
Film on Flemish Painting To Be Shown Wednesday
"Golden Age of Flemish Painting," a 53-minute color film, the seventh in a summer series, "Film Features of Fact and Fiction," will be shown at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in 3 Bailey.
Protests Steel Picket Line
PITTSBURGH —(UPI)— Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. asked the courts Monday to break up mass picket lines of striking United Steel-workers.
In the Wednesday film, Paul Haasaerts, Belgian art critic and film maker, analyzes the work of six Flemish primitive painters of the Renaissance—Jan van Eyck, Roger van der Weyden, Dirk Bouts, Hieronymous Bosch, Hugo van der Goes, and Hans Memling.
The film covers the 15th through 17th centuries. The musical background is selections from Flemish composers of that period. Pamela Brown, English actress, is the narrator.
Price-Wage-Tax Control Advocated
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.—(UPI)Presidential control of fluctuation in prices, wages and taxes has been urged by seven of the nation's top economists.
The recommendation was among several aimed at combatting inflation and spurring economic growth. It came out of a three-day conference called and planned by Gov. G. Mennen Williams at his summer mansion.
