Big Events Never Die, They Just Fade Away
Our University world is a changing one. In about a 4-year period a comparatively important incident is completely forgotten by the majority of persons on the campus. New happenings replace old ones.
In a few years students will have forgotten about our 1950 "10 O'Clock Blonde" Joan Gavin, the girl who drew Wolf whistles from Strong Hall onlookers for five weeks and whose picture appeared on the front page of newspapers from the West Coast to New York.
In a few more years it is doubtful that many of the students will remember things Like the dedication of Allen Field House or the last game Forrest C. (Phog) Allen coached.
Chemistry Had Shack
Few students have even heard of the Commons, a frame building which stood on the corner in front of Watson Library. Built in 1921 it originally served as the cafeteria, then as offices for the Stenographic Bureau and the Jayhawker and practice room for the orchestra and was finally used by the anatomy department. It might still be in use today if it had not been destroyed in a spectacular fire on March 3, 1943
If someone would ask where the Shack was, many students would probably hesitate before answering. It's the small building wedged between Fraser and Watson Library and is used by the anatomy department. It was the third building built on campus and has served as the home of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, School of Medicine, and School of Pharmacy. It was originally built for the chemistry department.
Canoeists Cancel Race-Too Cold
A scheduled canoe race from Manhattan to Lawrence, to have been Saturday morning, was cancelled because of cold weather.
The KU and Kansas State chapters of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, had planned the race between representatives of each school's club.
Rex Parsons, Fredonia senior, and president of the KU chapter, said it is hoped that the race can be held next spring.
Consults On Germ Warfare
Dr. Cora Downs, professor of bacteriology, left today by plane for Fort Dietrick, Frederick, Md. where she will act as a civilian consultant for the biological warfare installation. She will return to KU Sunday.
Fraser Was Largest
Many know that Fraser Hall, built 85 years ago, was named for Chancellor John Fraser, but few probably know that at one time it was the nation's largest educational building.
How many, for example, know that the property storage loft in Fraser was the scene of a suicide, a roof party and a Communist flag raising?
How many remember in the fall of 1925 when the YMCA raised about $3,000 in only three days? At that time there were only half as many students on campus and monev was worth twice as much as it is today. However, 300 students took part in soliciting.
Swiss Architecture Shown In Marvin
An exhibition of the best in contemporary Swiss architecture and design will be on display Monday through Friday, Nov. 22, on the third floor of Marvin Hall.
The photos provide a comprehensive survey of well-designed industrial products, household equipment, furniture, lamps and textiles. The only objects being shown are those which reached the highest standards of efficiency, manufacture and design and are typical of the requirements and production methods of Switzerland.
"Good Design in Switzerland," consists of photographic enlargements mounted on specially constructed racks and a few full size sample of weaving.
The display is brought to KU by the architecture and architectural engineering departments through the service of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition.

Robert Vosper, director of libraries and Robert Talmadge, associate director, have been designated principal investigators in a research project sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries.
The project is financed by a $21,000 grant from the Ford Foundation's recently established Council on Library Resources, Inc. The funds will be administered from the office of the executive secretary of the Association of Research Libraries at Princeton University.
The program has become complex and raised a number of problems. Vosper and Talmadge will re-evaluate the whole program in terms of its service to American scholarship. They will visit key libraries to discuss problems involved and initiate pilot study projects on several campuses. The study is expected to take one or two years.
Vosper and Talmadge will survey and evaluate the Farmington Plan, a program instituted in 1947 for the cooperative acquisition of research books from foreign countries for the use of American scholars. Some 55 American research libraries voluntarily cooperate in the national interest which has brought over 150,000 volumes valued at more than $275,000 into the United States from more than 100 foreign countries.
Correction
Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was granted a return of social privileges Thursday with payment of two fines imposed by the Social Committee of the All Student Council for late registration of two social events.
A notice restricting the fraternity's privileges was published in Friday's Official Bulletin after the restrictions had been lifted. The fine was paid Wednesday evening following publication of the first notice.
