Debate Centers on Report-
(Continued from page 1)
- Tuition "comparable to that at the two state universities."
- The establishment of "a close liaison with all the industrial and commercial interests in the area needing advanced training for employees along the lines followed by urban institutions in other parts of the country..."
THE REPORT ADDED that Wichita should become a "universities center" and some Wichita readers interpreted this to mean extension arm. The difference between the two is not immediately apparent, but apparently extension arm has a certain negative connotation that the more euphemistic "universities center" does not have.
November 12, the night of the Wichita Board of Regents' meeting. WU students, irked by the thought that their school was to lose its Wichita University status, held a protest march.
Signs outside the Wichita University's Fine Arts Hall, where the Regent meeting was held, read:
"KU ANNEX;"
"The Kaw Is a Strange River to be Sold Down;" And "Thank You, Furich."
And "Thank You, Eurich."

Campus Problems Contest to be Held
One of the oldest contests at KU begins today.
The campus problems speaking contest tryouts will be held at 4:30 pm. Thursday in the Kansas Union.
Students will give six minute argumentative speeches.
E. C. BUELHLER, speech and drama professor, said recently that "This event is my baby. I started it when I came to KU in 1925.
"Since that time," Prof. Buehler said, "I've seen many contests come and go, but the campus problems competition has continued for 37 years."
Finalists in the preliminary contest will compete Thursday night. Two trophies will be awarded to the two top speakers.
Prof. Buehler said the purpose of the contest is to give all students an opportunity to speak on subjects applicable to KU student life.
International Club Needs Female Tango Partners
International club is sending up a plea for women of all shapes and sizes to tango tonight at 7 in the Trail Room of the Kansas Union.
Male students have been learning the latest dance steps each week, but a shortage of partners has made it difficult to perfect timing and coordination.
In an effort to attract females, lessons have been rescheduled for Tuesday nights.

You Buy the Rings We'll Buy the License
I Am A Popular KU Student!
Color me "socially accepted." One of the reasons why I am so popular is my clothes are always so neat and well-pressed.
Color the crease in my pants sharp. Color my coat neat and perfectly laundered and pressed.
Another reason I am so popular is that I always feel at ease. Color the collar of my shirt comfortable and starched just the way I like it. Don't color it scratchy or stiff.
Notice the tie? It's spotless and perfectly cleaned too.
You may color my clothes, but you don't have to color yours. Simply take them down to the friendly folks at Lawrence Laundry and Dry Cleaners.
They won't color your clothes either. They will restore the bright original colors of your garments. You see, they use the nationally advertised Sanitone cleaning process to restore the colors. They are the only cleaners in Lawrence with this exclusive process.
You'll also find your clothes will be returned to you perfectly pressed for you to wear.
Just call Lawrence Laundry and Dry Cleaners and they will immediately pick up and deliver your cleaning or laundry.
You too can be popular and loved by all!
