Masons of Oklahoma unanimously
voted at the state convention at Mc-
Alester Wednesday to build a domi
tory, worth at least $100,000, at the
University of Oklahoma for sons and
daughters of Masonic families, ac-
cording to word received here yesterday.
H. L. Muldrow, member of the uni-
versity board of regents and a leader
in state Masonry, originated the plan
which was unanimously adopted by the
convention on the first vote.
The building will be located near
the campus, probably on part of the
old V. M. C. A. property on Univer-
sity Boulevard. Details of the plan
have not been given out but probably
will be made known when Muldrow re-
turns from McAlester.
Rooms and home conveniences will
lie provided for between 100 and 125
students, sons and daughters of Mas-
ons, it is believed. A similar building
probably will be erected at Stillwater
for Oklahoma A. and M. students.
First step in the revival of Masonic
activities at the university came two
weeks ago when Masons enrolled in
school announced plans for pushing the
old Sooner petition for' a chapter of
Acacia, national Masonic fraternity.
The school of public and private
business will open department library
in room 206, new library building,
soon, Dr. A. B. Adams, director of the
school, announced 1 hursday
Rook cases and furniture are being
made and as soon as they are ready
the reading room, will be opened
The library will be for the benefit of
students interested in live issues of the
dav and will contain books and pam-
phlets from the larger banks and com-
mercial establishments of the I nited
States. There will be several trade
journals also

Paintings by students in commer-

start'd this week by James A. Brill,
art instructor, are completed.
Later, work will be sold to art hous-
es and leading advertising houses all
over the United States, Brill said.
Vinson Lackey, an advanced art stu-
dent, is now working on a display for
a Kansas City shoe company.
A large amount of modern poster
material to be used in standardizing
poster work has been ordered for com-
mercial art students.
Effective posters in all designs and
colors can be produced by art students
on short notice when new shipments
arrive. Brill said.

Psychology Tests May
Be Given Engineers
National Society Will Make Compar-
ison on Students in Many Schools
In November
Psychology tests may be given fresh-
man engineers next month, J. H. Felgar,
dean of the college of engineering an-
nounced Wednesday.
This is the first time such classifica-
tion schemes have been tried out in
engineering classes here.
Tests have been prepared by the So-
ciety for the Promotion of Engineer-
ing Education, the national convention
of which Dean Felgar attended last
spring. These examinations are being-
sent out to engineering schools all over
the country. They are similar to those
used in the army.
Dean Felgar expects that these tests
■will be used to supplement entrance
requirements.
S. P. E. E. quizzes will be given on
the same day in all engineering schools
in the society and results will be
averaged at headquarters.

Some are minsters,—eight of them,
in fact,—and others are ministering as

Farmers, ranchmen, stockraisers

buyers are represented on the old
Sooner list of grads.
One man owns part of a moving pic-
ture weekly. Ten men are editors, four
are newspaper reporters.
Then there are salesmen who sell
any thing from insurance to fireless
cookers with ready cooked food. One
man is manager of a cocoa plantation
and another who advocated clean
politics during his student days has
entered the laundry business.

The diary includes war pictures, and
foreign newspapers, including the Nov-
ember 11, Paris copy of the Chicago
Tribune, announcing the armistice.
The collection probably will be made
permanent. Several donations to the
exhibit have been made by former sol-
diers.
Miss Nelle Summers, N. W. C. A.
secretary at the university last year, is
now managing a Paris hotel.

Miss Summers also has charge of
two hostess houses, one at Coblcnz,
headquarters of the American army of
occupation, and the other at Romagne,
near a cemetery in which 20,000 Ameri
can soldiers are buried. Thousands of
visitors have been at Romagne since
the armistice was signed.
Dainty co-eds with tender hearts
and weak ank-les can trip the light
fantastic in toe dancing for gym
classes but tremble at the thought
of hikes and stiff gymnastics, instru-
ctors say.
Miss I ma James, physical direc-
tor, believes she hears more nove
excuses than any other instructor in
the university.
Every day soft co-eds lose heart
falter, and finally surender uncondit-
ionally when they are called on to
do these horrid, unreasonable, semi-
genteel stunts ,in military calisthen-
ics.
Recently one little cellar tlower in
Miss James' hiking classes lost her
ankle and her courage at the same
time and begged to be assigned to
milder exercise, its is said.
Aesthetic dancing is by far the
most popular sport chosen by women
athletes. Always thre is a snap
when endurance tests are suspended
and dancing is announced, instructors
declare.
But where examinations shows an
actual weakness of the heart, only
gently exercises are given.

accustomed to shudder hopelessly and
indicate,—"married!"
Will Student's Hair Become Gray?
And through it all, university stu-
dents are getting older on top of other
infirmities.
Will the day ever come when hus-
band and wific saunter down the uni-
versity lane toether in cool of even-
ing, munch a frugal meal of pork and
beans, and sing"Silver Threads among
the Gold" to each other for after din-
ner parlor amusement.
Registry clerks wonder.
And then they turn reluctantly back
to the records and make an entry of
another patriarch who has decided in
his "declining years" to break into the
university.
Then while she rummages among
old hunches she has jutted down, the
clerk stumbles on to this and her fan-

Susan herds the children in from the

Matt up close to her old willow chair
and teaches him math while father is
over in the corner dealing out domestic

head.
In the corner the family dog curls
up close to the fireplace and dreams
about the sugar-coated days when the
picture of the old man in S. A. T. C
khaki used to hang over the door.
Or maybe the story takes a different
drift if Mary Anne grew old wait-

istence along the same line if it "took

At any rate university students a^e

Then the registry clerk smiles a weary
smile and closes her records as she
sighs, "well, well, you see how it is—
