Creighton University, one of the best known and strongest Universities In the Missouri Valley, today an nounced its plans for a $2,0 H).0K) ex pansion cainpaiim to le conducted In February 1023. $1.0(X,(00 will be ex pended for the construction of four new buildings and an athletic Ftadium. New Buildings Badly Needed. ' The completion of this building pro pram will enable both the Arts College and the High School to take care of double their present enrollment, in addition to enlarging the facilities in the professional schools. The balance of the $2,000,000 to be raised will be used for endowment to provide income to carry on the ex panded university work.

Creishton'a First Building, Constructed in 1878, Now Overcrowded. John F. McCormick, President of the University. Progress Increases Responsibility. In speaking of the necessity for further expansion, Father McCormick aid: "From our unpretentious beginning hack in 1S7S, when the highest class on the campus was the "Sixth Bead er" class, Creighton has emerged a strong institution of university rank with complete preparatory, under graduate and professional courses, each one of which is rated "Class A" by the highest educational authori ties. "Creighton University Is r.ni apply ing for funds to reduce indebtedness or to increase salaries. Its student body has simply outgrown its present facilities and the present college buildings are no longer adequate to give the service demanded. 1007c Growth In Five .Years. "In the year 191C there were ?4 students. Last year's enrollment totaled 10SS an increase ef more than KX In five years. "The endowment fund established by the Creighton family was more than adequate In 191C to care for all of the needs of the University. Our 8tudent-body however Las more than doubled within the past five years l'i." v., -iL-.'ysjz'zrt-iLJi ' ' - j .. '-.-..jg.w;-.. . . 2 St. John's Hal! Creighton's Only Dormitory, Will Be Supplemented By a New Dormitory to Accommodate One Hundred Students. and the demands made upon our in come have increased accordingly. Our endowment funds have cot been Increased by any new bequests dar ing this period. Two Million Needed. "X minimum of 2,000,000 must be raised to take care of the im mediate needs. We are confronted with the necessity of beginning a building program Immediately which will require $1,000,000 In Itself. "The old Administration buildin? occupied by the Liberal Arts College and High School, has become increas ingly inadequate during the past five years. Each year we have been bilged to turn away hundreds of ittndents who sought admission into the College of Liberal Arts and into the High School. In accordance with the desires of Edward and Count Creighton these departments have made no tuition charge so that even the poorest boy might obtain a hlgh ebool and even a college education. Make Room For More Students. Our first and most immediate need, therefore, is a new class-room building for the Liberal Arts College. This will permit the High School to occupy the entire Administration Building and will more than double its capacity. "Our second need is a new Chemis try building. "The third building required is a new college Dormitory. The present Dormitory provides accommodations for about eighty students. Between one-half and two-thirds tf our studeui body enrollment at Creiirhton comes from outside of Omaha, and it is our duty to provide dormitory accommo dations for at least one hundred more men under the supervision of the University. New Athletic Stadium to Seat 7,58). "The erection of the new college i buildings will doom the old football held. The new field will parallel Burt Street between 25th and 27th. We must erect a modern, steel and concrete stadium for our new athletic field. "The fifth structure to be erected as a result of the campaign, is the new Medical College. The new '. Medical Building will be erected ". I a site adjacent to St. Joseph's EIcs- pital in order to give the students of the Medical College better clinical facilities and center their Instruction and clinical practice in one locality. "The building prorram which I have outlined," jidde-1 Father McCortr.Ick, "lias been estimated by the architects to cost one million dollars. Every one of the buildings is badly needed. Endowment Inadequate. "The new buildings will provide the facilities we need, but without additional endowment we would be unable to administer the new expan sion ; we could not take care of the increased work of our departments; nor add the new lay-members of the faculty required in the professional schools. "At the present time our endowment is ?2S.t,0'X). A comparison of thi with the endowment of other great Universities shows how modest It real- ly is. Elarvard University has an en dowment of Forty-five Million ; Chi cago, Thirty Million; Washington Uni versity of St. Louis ?0i00,0O0. Our needs were never greater In propor tion to our income than they are todar. It Is not desirable to increase tuitlor.i In our professional schools. We alsr want to continue to offer free the in struction in our Liberal Arts College and our nigh School. There is, there fore, but one solut'on. We must se cure additional endowment. Necessity Compels Appeal. "Some of my friends have told me that this is an inopportune time to ask for money, but we Elmply must ask for it. We cannot turn student away in large cumbers every year. For forty-four years we have worked in this community. We have become a part of the life not only of the State, but the Missouri Valley. We must do the work which we are here to do. The State needs educated men today more than ever before and It Is our duty end our aim to see that the State gets such men. PELICANS' WAYS "I've been given permission to tell the story," said Mhsut Brown Pelican. "There's my cousin. Master White I'elican, and he'd like to tell it too, but the keeper said it was fair to let me tell it. I'm sm'ier :::ui not quite so beautiful so I have been granted this favor." "Fair enrich, fair enough." said Master U nite Pelican. "Tell the story, cousin. I'd be glad to hear of myself, too, for you'll tell of me when you're telling of pelicans and their ways, won't you?' " f course, of course," said Master Brown IYlican. "There have been so many s;!!y rhymes made up about us. People don't half take us seriously enough. Now they're so apt to laugh the min ute they see us," complained Master While Pelican. "That is all very true," said M is ter Brown Pelican. "But still I would rather have rhymes made up about ::ie even if they weren't very good than not to be noticed at all. "And, dear me, I'd much rather people laili-'hed v. hen they saw me than to have them weep at the sight of me." "Yes. I'd rather have that, too." said Master White Pelican. "I like to think I'm so cheerful Ir. Hpp'-arance that they feel like laugh ing." "Well." said Master White IVli-an. "I suppose it is because of our froat lone bills or bonks that they latteh They ate very rAz." "It is good to have them lone:." said Master Brown Pelican. "Beside? it i. well to he generous in things especial ly in our bills. That is well, indeed." "Well, indeed." repeated Master White Pelican. "Now, Master Brown Pelican." he added after a moment, "do tell your story of the way? i f Pelicans." "You know it all. Master White Pel ican." "Ah, yes," said Master White Pel ican. "Bat I think the next best thing to talkinir about one's self i to lis ten to so:;-;e one else talking ab'ut one. If I am n"t to talk about myself I look forward eagerly to hearing you talk about me and about yourself, too," he added. "I.- beuin." "Well. I will," said Master Brown I'elican. "And as you have allowed me "We're Gcoa Fish Eaterc." to tell the Story I will tell about you first." "Kind of you. kind of you," said Master White Pelican. "Weil," said Master Brown Pelican. "I think It is fair that I should be allowed to tell the story because I'm smaller, but I don't believe in the smaller person always having every thing their own way. The bigger creature has rights, too." "You're a fair-minded pelican," said Master White I'elican. "Now do not let me detain you in your talking any more." "I'll Ug in this moment," said Mas ter Brown Pelican. "In the first place my cousin, Master White Pelican, is one of the largest birds of this con tinent and the continent has both South America and North America on it! "Master White I'elican has beauti ful white feathers, as his name tells you but he is not wrongly named no, his name is excellent. It just describes him. lie is as white as white can be and he is a pelican. His name, therefore, is perfect anu fits him like a glove, as the saying goes. "Or in other words, it's a name that just fits him ! He has a golden-amber-colored beak or bill which is truly a magnificent one. You have a nut pouch as a pelican should have. "They say that your family eats as much fish as the sea lions. In fact your family are een greater fish eaters than we are. We're good fail: eaters, too. We're handsome, sociable, and enjoy zoo life immensely. Il agrees with us and we like the care they take of us. We are at our best when we're full grown and then we're at the height of our good looks, too. "Pelicans have fine pouches and wt can hold the food there, too. It's like a private icebox of our own only there is no ice in it, ha, ha. That's e good pelican joke." "Yes." said Mascer White Pelican "aud all you have to say about pel leans is true. But let us continue talk ing another time, for here coaies tht keeper v, Ith our lunch on of tih." And all the pelicans rushed towarc the keeper and opened wide their bin. fer their beloved and favorite food. SSIATiG TRIBE KUriTS HEADS TO INSURE A GOOD HARVEST Was Believe Seed Grain Must Be Charmed and Conjured With Skuiis. Ralph E. Henderson, a Ilarvard graduate who has sport the past eight months traveling in southern Asia, has just completed a trip through the British "unndmlnistere i territory" of northeastern Burma m l Into the Chi nese province of Yun::".n, neither of which have been thoroughly explored by white men. Among the wild tribes encountered en this trip were th" head hunting Was. Hitherto little h been definite ly known concerning th;- lifw and cus toms of this tribe, as most lit those who intruded upon Wu territory failed to return. The Was do not hunt heads primarily from canni'.c.listlc motives, but rather because of t'a"ir belief that their crops will fail unless some fresh human skulls are imported every year. Under this Impressio:. they organize head-hunting cxpemI,,Ti cvry spring, and It Is small consolation to the un fortunate traveler who falls into their hands that It Is only his skull that la wanted. Writing of the wild Was, Mr. Hen derson says: "The Was nre especially keen on hunting heads during February, March and April just before the planting season. From the Wa t.ngle of looking at It the business isn't the madness we take it to be. It is a convention and quite us reasonable as afternoon tea. Evcry decently religious Wa knows that unless the seed grain is properly charmed an'! conjured with a human head the cro;, raised from it will be a failure. And who wants to starve? In fact. If worst comes to worst and there nrr no heads forth coming from raids on neighbors the Was prefer to take the head of some feeble person In the village rather than run tlie risk of scant crops and conse quent empty stomachs. "Ir. February, March and April, then, the wild Wa men go hunting. Of course, any head that offers itself to be collected is regarded as fair game and it behooves the man working alone cutting jungle or the woman hoe ing alone iu the field to be cautious when the Was are afoet. A common artifice Is to barricade pome jungle highway and lie in ambush, some Just behind the barricade some on either side, to rush down on the flanks of any party caught in the trap. "Deads of men, women and children over twelve years old are acceptable. Heads marked with smallpox, for su perstitious reasons, are not desired. A successful foray is one which yields one or more corpses. Immediately the heads are cut off and put In bags. Then back honie go the rejoicing Was, not nccriecting to take the bodies along for the larder and raising a tremen dous whooping and hullabaloo along the way. At home there Is a ceremony to perform. The wife or mother of the man who mace the kill takes the head out of the bag and proceeds to wail over it formally. She must wash the blood from the dead face aud wall an incantational song a? she does so. She must work herself into a senti mental frenzy, which feat under the circumstances is usually easy of per formance. If her wailing lacks the ring of genuineness her husband helps to supply that which Is lacking by beating her. "This song, strangely enough, be seeches the aid of the spirit of the head and addresses it as a mighty ruler. It is this spirit which is to pro mote the growth of the crops, and it must be treated with great reverence. I heard this song once. "After the head has been washed and v. ailed over, a raw egg Is put into the dead mouth to feed the spirit Then the head is thrust up on a pule. A basket of seed paddy (rice) Is put under it and left for a few days." UNVEIL STATUE OF SAINT CF FISHERMEN In the .North End, Boston, this altar, with a statue of Santa Maria Provi lenza Tcterlsin. patron saint of Sicilian fishermen, was recently un veiled as part of two-days' observance -f ths Kdnt's feast.
