Students to Get Rebate on Books Sold from Union
Jan. 13, 1948—University of Kansas students are now able to get $9,838.84 of the money that they spent on materials from December 1, 1947, to bookstore from July 1 to December 31, 1947.
L. E. Woolley, Kansas Union Bookstore manager, said today that a 15 per cent rebate would be awarded the Bookstore patrons on all book sales in that period.
Students may receive their money upon presentation of the yellow receipts from sales that were negotiated during that period.
Woolley said that with the rebate the new dividend for the Bookstore would total $185,000.
The rebates are offered every six months. Each receipt is color coded for the period which materials were bought. Yellow receipts are redeemable now, the green receipts (for the period preceding July 1) are also still useable. The pink receipts now being used will be redeemable after July 1, 1948.
The receipts may be redeemed through the mail, according to Woolley. Students may simply send their stubs to the Bookstore and their money will be mailed to them. All receipts will be honored for a five year period.
Fire destroyed the old Templin residence hall on Feb. 7, 1949. The blaze started on the second floor of the building in a study and spread to the attic. The building was at 1407 Louisiana St. and was a residential landmark in Lawrence. Originally the home of B. W.
woodward, a wholesale druggist and a housekeeper in Lawrence, the building once housed the Acacia fraternity. The 26 women resident of old Templin were moved to Currrill, Mathis and Watkins Halls for the rest of the schoolear. There were no injuries in the blaze.
One of the hitching posts for socialities in downtown Lawrence during the late '30's and early '40's was this theatre. Originally an opera house, the building was later converted
into a movie theatre. Today the building houses the Red Dog Inn, a popular dancing spot for Lawrence.
Dial Phone System Will Modernize KU
May 5. 1947—The University of Kansas will be treated to a new convenience this summer when dial telephones are installed on campus.
Raymond Nichols, the Chancellor's executive secretary, said that a temporary directory would be published so that the phones may be used effectively.
Users of the phones must know the number they are trying to reach. They will be unable to simply ask for a person or an office unless they dial the operator.
Telephone service will not be interrupted during the installation of the new service.
Survey Reveals No Communists On KU Faculty
March 25, 1949—A recent survey of University of Kansas officials reveals that if there are any Communists in the KU faculty we have done a good job of hiding themselves.
The survey was conducted in reaction to a bill before the Kansas Legislature that would require all teachers, state officials and educators to sign a loyalty oath to the United States.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott was out of town and consequently unavailable for comment on the possibility of Communist members being part of the KU faculty.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, said, "We don't believe we have ever had anyone on the faculty who is, we ever been a member of the Communist party."
Rep. Walter McVey, KU law school alumnus and now a representative from Independence, Kans., said that a political science professor had told his class that he was a Communist and, if the class did not like it, they could walk out.
Ethan Allen, chairman of the department of political science, said that no one in his department would or did make a statement such as the one in McVey's accusation.

The CAB ruled last Dec. 7 that the special fares were illegal because they discriminated against other air travelers who were not part of family groups or were too old to qualify for youth discounts.

who could demonstrate a need for using their cars during work hours.
"In general," the report states, "it is recommended that no students be assigned parking space on the central campus area except for medical reasons."
Second priority should be based on medical factors, it says.
Faculty and staff members who use parking spaces simply for all-day storage of their automobiles should be assigned to the reservoir lots* N, O and X, the report says.
"Accompanying a decision of priority such as this would be the necessity for the University to provide a free shuttle service and to provide information to the central campus," the report states.
MAX LUCAS, professor of architecture and urban design and chairman of the committee, said Wednesday that the committee had been charged with recommending alternatives for parking and campus traffic flow.
Chancellor-designate Archie Dykes probably will have to decide whether to implement the proposals of the committee, Lucas said.
These short-range recommendations, Lucas said, are intended to ease the tight

Short-range proposals include the addition of 50 parking spaces behind Wescoe Hall, altered priorities for campus parking privileges and shuttle bus service from N, O and X parking zones.
