WEATHER INDECISION—Our shine-awhile rain-awhile weather has brought a new kind of indecision and frustration to the campus. Students can be seen venturing forth garbed in attire that presents a cross-section of the year's wardrobe, making the campus scene a true study in contrasts.

Ghosts Of Kansas History Haunt This Library Room
Hidden away in the northwest corner of the fourth floor of Watson Library is a very interesting little room. The Lawrence Room is only about 20 long and 15 feet wide, but it is filled with relics of the early history of Lawrence and Kansas.
On the walls of this room, 401, are pictures of many of the first settlers of Lawrence. There are many famous and infamous people among the portraits, such as John Brown, William Clarke Quantrill, James H. Lane, Charles Robinson, territorial and state governor of Kansas, Amos A. Lawrence, S. W. Eldridge, Lewis Lindsay Dyche, G. W. Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom, Dudley Haskell, and many others.
Sketches
Also hanging from these walls are sketches of Lawrence in 1854, 1859, and 1880, a picture of the first Kansas Pacific train to go through Lawrence, a sketch of the first house built in Lawrence, a sketch of John Brown's cabin, a list of the survivors of Quantrill's raid and early pictures of KU.
The card file of the Lawrence Room is in itself rich with history. It gives a sketch of early settlers pictured on the walls and also explains the history of the relics found in the room.
Among the relics in the room is a "Beecher's Bible." This is one of the Sharps rifles which Henry Ward Beecher shipped to Lawrence in a case marked "Bibles". In this way the rifles got to the free state men instead of falling into the hands of the slavery group.
"Old Sacramento"
In one corner of the Lawrence Room there leans one of John Brown's pikes. This pike consists of a two-edged blade 10 inches long, attached to a 6-foot handle of ash. Brown intended to put these pikes in the hands of slaves for his planned insurrection of the slaves. A piece of wood from Brown's cabin
Another relic is "Old Sacramento," the cannon which fired the first shot against slavery in the United States, as well as the first shot for the slavery cause. It is now only partly intact because it was loaded with too much powder in an attempt to float the bodies of some people that had drowned in the Kaw.
AIA Officers Elected
Donald Trent, Lawrence senior,
was elected president of the American Institute of Architectures.
Other officers elected were Roger Thom, St. Joseph, Mo. senior, vice president; Robert McGlashon, Kirkwood, Mo. freshman, secretary, and Charles Winters, Kansas City, Kan,

can also be found in the room.
Other reliés in the room include Quantrill's flag, a sword belonging to James H. Lane, a table showing burns received in Quantrill's raid and a gavel belonging to the Oread Literary Society.
