SMOKE, SMOKE, SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE-How many students use the smoking room in Watkins Library? No one knows, but R. L. Rogers, building janitor, empties ash trays in the room three times a day. The room, which seats 92 persons, was opened in May, 1950. Western Civilization, journalism, and other books were available at a counter in the room until 1953, when the undergraduate library facilities were changed. Mr. Rogers said almost all the students who
use the room do so to smoke, with women outnumbering men

'Technical Aid Helpful To Philippines' -Stene
"Technical assistance is very helpful if our object is to help the Filipino government improve public administration and become independent of the U.S." E. O. Stene, professor of political science, said Thursday night at a dinner meeting of the Kansas-Missouri chapter of the American Society for Public Administration.
Prof. Stene worked at the University of the Philippines in Manila under government contract with the University of Michigan on a permanent mission of public administration to the Philippines.
"We must remember that there is no morality in connection with contract or property matters there as in the U. S." Prof. Stene said. "Fighting, killing, cheating, and bribing in the mountains prevent a quick change toward raising standards of public administration.
"Low morality is partly a consequence of low morale," he said, and the raising of morale, depends on the Filipino having a "knowledge of what his job is and a feeling that he can do the job well."
"If people feel technical assistance is a bribe to turn them to a U. S. improvement in public administration will be difficult to achieve," he said.
"In the 1945-1951 period, assistance was almost exclusively monetary through paying for war damage, from money spent by the armed forces, and in extensive military equipment which was sold or financed to the Filipino government," he said.
