"The goal of the University State Hos pital will be to turn no one from its doors for lack of personnel or facilities." Dr. Guy L.-N'ojrs'said today. "The pres ent plans form merely the nucleus of a state hospital which will grow from a capacity of 60 beds to one of 300. This is the means by which the University will prove to the slate the validity and soundness of the idea of such a hos. pital." The new University Slate Hospital, lo b erected at a cost of $250,000. is planned to be strictly a state hospital. This will necessitate special legislation to get patients for the hospital from all over the state. An act is now in draft form ready to. be presented to the Curators" committee for tnpection. It proposes tint the tale or county assume the co! of Irans-l-orling the patient to and from the Ivos pital, and, in case of a minor or patient who is unable to travel alone, the trans portation cost of a companion. ., '" ,1. . i '"" ..

The modern equipment and personnel of the staff will attract clinic material. The University State Hospital will be located on the West Campus between Parker Memorial Hospital and Lathrop Hall, frontage on Sixth street. The money for its erection was appropriated by the State Legislature at a special session in August, 1921. The building will be two stories high and constructed of brick, trimmed in cut stone. The roof will be of slate., and planned so that it may later be converted into a roof garden. A cor ridor will be built connecting the new building and Parker Memorial Hos pital. Specifications will be sent to con tracting firms soon and bids will be op ened on October 16. Work of excava tion will start about November 1. and it is hoped to complete the building by August 1, 1923. MOTHERS -MEET TEACHERS Benton School Organization Plans Membership Campaign.

It was voted at a meeting of the Stu dent Council last night to produce the play, which was completed only this week, at the lime of Homecoming. There ill probably be three performances. Nobody but advertising students with huge senses of humor would seriously consider the idea of selling a carload of electric fans in the rigorous climate of the Arctic Circle. It can be done. however, and this is the theme of the pla). Freivogel left Gene Rodemich's orchestra in Si. Louis long enough to dash down for a cop) of the song about the Eskimaid and he is now putting finishing touches to the song hits which he knows so well how to produce. The authors are keeping the plot as secret as possible, but it is said that the pirate in the play got lhat way eating Eskimo Pies. He's a regular villain has an Eskimolor n everything. An- astasia, leader of smart song-anu-dance ads down South, who goes all the wa) to Creenland with her cliorus in the put suit of a man, is a clever minor part for which a freshman girl has already been selected.
