CARNEY HALL. The legislature of 1917 made an appropriation of $200,000 with which to erect a household economics and general science building with an audi- torium annex. This building is to be known as Carney Hall, named in honor of Governor Carney, who served as governor of Kansas during the Civil War period. The plans for the new building were completed by Hon. Chas. H. Chandler, state architect. The contract for the erection of the same was let to Mr. J. M. Leeper on the nineteenth day of December, 1917, to be completed on the first day of January, 1919. This building is now nearing completion, and when finished, will without question be one of the most beautiful and complete science halls and auditoriums in the state of Kansas. The main part of the building is two hundred and forty-seven by eighty-six feet, the auditorium annex being one hundred and twenty- one feet and ten inches by ninety-six feet and ten inches, with a seating capacity of 2,400. This beautiful structure will be completed and occupied June the first, 1919; in it will be housed most comfortably and advantageously the fol- lowing departments: Home Economics, Biological, Agricultural, Chem- ical and Physical Sciences. All the laboratories are spacious, well lighted, well ventilated, and will be adequately furnished with new’ and modern equipment. All laboratory and lecture hall floors are of cork, thus reducing to the minimum, the noise which usually results from walking about, or the moving of chairs. This also insures ease and comfort to those standing for long periods in ex peri men till work. The lecture rooms are especially commodious, and conveniently located in relation to the laboratories. Ample offices, rest rooms and reception rocms for the convenience of all departments will be provided. The large auditorium with its soft sky-blue effect, is one of the features of the new' building. The installation in this building of eight hundred single deck lockers to be used by the students for books amr wraps, is a much needed convenience and will be greatly appreciated by ail. Th same Legislature made an appropriation of $1,500 each biennium for the beginning of a new recreation and athletic field. During the year 1917. Hare Hare of Kansas City, landscape architects, were employed by the Board of Administration to submit a perspective of the grounds, and suggest a permanent building plan for the institution. Their plan was submitted and finally adopted in the summer of 1917, and when followed out during the course of the next ten years, will make the campus and building arrangement of the State Manual Training Normal College one of the most beautiful and unique among educational plants.

The New Athletic Field The new Athletic Field is in process of making. It is in shape at the present to be used for football and track. Work was started in this field in the fall of 1917, when a concrete curb, which marks the pole of the quarter mile track, was put in place. The following spring the field and track was partially graded for the use of spring training in track. During the summer of 1918, the grading for the track and field was completed and additional curbs put in place to outline the outside of the track. Five hundred loads of finely screened cinders have been placed on the track and rolled in order to pack them smoothly and firmly. The track is in splendid shape for the track season of 1919, but with the additional work to be put on the cinder path in the future, we expect to have one of the best and fastest tracks in the country. During the present summer, there will be available the additional appropriation for the tiling of the field and track, building a bleacher and fencing the field. With these additional improvements, our facilities for athletics will be nearing that ideal for which every man who has ever represented us has longed to see in his own day. It is hoped that Joplin Avenue will soon be paved. When this is done there will be a splendid place in front of the field for the approach of automobiles. Cars can then be driven to the east side of the field where spectators can watch the games from their own machines.
