CROCKER'S WORRIES OVER. Improvements Finished in Time for Opening of School.
E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds, has been a worried man for the past two weeks. It looked for a while as if the repairs and alterations that have been going forward on the buildings would not be finished in time for the holding of classes this week. But by strenuous work, some of it extending over into the Sabbath, all class rooms were ready at 8 o'clock Monday morning. A force of about sixty men has been at work on the buildings since July. The work had to be rushed so at the last minute because the appropriation for it was not available until July 1. A considerable amount of painting and finishing work will have to be done at the Thanksgiving or Christmas vacation.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar will probably attend the National Irrigation Congress at Pueblo, Col. next week, having been appointed one of the delegates from Kansas by Governor Stubbs.
Ray C. Robinson, a sophomore engineer last year, died of typhoid fever at the University hospital in Kansas City on the morning of August 5, 1910. He was a graduate of the Manual Training High school and his home was at 1409 Harrison street, Kansas City, Kan.

Franklin Club Members Furnish Their Own Roms.
LIVE ON $17, A MONTH
The cooperative housekeeping scheme tried last year by the Franklin club, made up of a group of Kansas City, Kan., students, was such a success that it will be repeated this year. The club has engaged the house at 1222 Mississippi street. The membership has been increased from nine to fifteen.
Each member of the club provides his own furniture, and that for the general use of the club is bought by "chipping in" to a general fund. A matron cooks the meals and keeps the house in order. A steward buys the groceries and does the general managing, assisted by a board of five elected by the club.
The average monthly assessment last year was $15 and that amount included room, board laundry, newspaper subscriptions, telephone and gas. The cost will be about the same this year, though the members are hopeful that it may even be reduced a little.
The club was organized in the summer of 1909 by a group of Kansas City, Kan., Freshmen.
