KU First To Offer Degree In Jewelry, Silversmithing
Nine years ago the University became the first in the United States to offer a degree in a four-year course in jewelry and silversmithing.
Today, after nine years of growth and development, there are seven advanced classes and six beginning classes with a total enrollment of over 200 students.
Carlyle H. Smith, associate professor of design, said, "With our new studio (in the west end of Bailey annex) we feel there isn't another school in the country with a more complete set-up than we have here."

"The jewelry and silversmithing industry," he said, "is one of the top 10 in the country in the number of persons it employs."
"Yet it is one of the few professional fields which is not overcrowded, and which at the same time has satisfactory monetary rewards," he added.
The KU course is closely allied with the industry. It has an arrangement paralleling practice teaching for teachers. Before graduation each silversmithing student must spend between three and four months working for a manufacturing jeweler, getting actual bench work experience. The department finds the jobs for the students and they are paid at learners' rates.
In the laboratory a variety of subjects are covered. Beginning with simple wire bending and soldering techniques, the student advances to stone setting, casting, and silversmithing, which involves raising of sheet silver into bowls, trays, and other objects, electro-

plating, and intricate soldering problems.
"We never go looking for majors in our field," said Prof. Smith. "The making of jewelry requires the utmost patience and love of the material used. It is just different than any other form of art work and some people have an inherent patience and love of material. These are the people who come to us and these are the people who make fine and successful craftsmen."

Library Announces Changes In Reserve Book System
811 Mass.
VI 3-3160
Reserve books in the undergraduate library and education room of Watson Library are available to students under a reorganized system.
The system is designed to balance the supply and demand of reserve books and at the same time exert more control over materials which tend to "disappear" under the pressure of heavy demand, said Robert L. Quinsey, assistant director of the library.
The major changes:
All reserve books, including the required readings for Western Civilization are on closed shelves. They may be obtained from the appropriate desk by presenting a filled out and signed call slip and an ID card.
From Monday through Friday all reserve books may be checked out during the day for the rest of the hour plus two hours, and overnight after 8 p.m.
For weekend circulation, single copies and five copies of Western Civilization books are marked with orange tags and restricted to two-hour use. This is an attempt to keep some copies available for students who study in the library on weekends. The same restrictions will apply during holidays and vacation periods.
Extra copies, marked with green tags, may be checked out for the weekend after 11 a.m. Saturday, and are due before 9 a.m. Monday. They may be checked out for a holiday or vacation period.
Water Usage Plan Survey Reported
Jewell County's limited water resources necessitate a long range water usage program, according to a report issued recently by the State Geological Survey, which is located in Lindley Hall.
The report suggested Jewell County undertake construction of ponds for stock watering, conservation on the farm, and further development of community wells.
The first day of autumn in 1956 will be Sept. 22.
University Budget Intact
The University's basic budget for the 1957 fiscal year has been left unchanged by the State Legislature, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said today.
A general operating budget of $8,313,950 was granted. This figure is exclusive of capital improvement, self-supporting activities, and sponsored research.
"The budget was given very fair treatment by the Legislature,"Mr. Nichols said. "We are very grateful they did not cut the basic budget. We will be able to hire new instructors to keep up with the expanding enrollment, and increase salaries because of increasing teacher competition."
Administrators were also pleased hat a suggestion to increase fees and reduce the budget was dee-ated.
The Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., received $3,244,330.
"The action of the Legislature endorses the constitutional philosophy and long established practice of the state of Kansas for free higher education." Mr. Nichols said. "This means all young people in the state will continue to have equal opportunity for, higher education."
