Extension Service Growth Rapid
One of KU's fastest growing departments is University Extension, which serves not only students on the KU campus but individuals in nearly every Kansas community and in other states.
University Daily Kansan
To the citizens of Kansas, the department has a three-fold responsibility; to teach, serve as a repository of knowledge and history, and to do research, said T. Howard Walker, director.
12.000 Students
Six specialists along with a dozen full-time Extension representatives in various fields direct six bureaus that make up the department.
As an example of the size of the department, one unit—the Bureau of Visual Instruction—sent 30,000 reels of films to 682 towns and cities in 38 states and the Dist ict of Columbia last year. The film library consists of 3,500 copies and a magnetic tape library of 1,400 titles. The bureau is headed by Fred S. Montcomery.
More than 12,000 persons attended 122 conferences and institutes on the KU campus from July 1, 1954 to June 30, 1955. E. A. McFarland heads this program.
Guy V. Keeler, noted speaker and a veteran of 32 years in his field, guides the Bureaus of Lecturers and Concert artists. This division brought 5,000 programs to $1_{5}$ million individuals in a 7-state area last year.
The Bureau of Correspondence Study enrolled approximately 6,597 persons in its "Worldwide Classroom" during the 1954-1955 school year. This unit is directed by Miss Ruth Kenney.
Last year more than 3,000 requests for material for themes, speeches, lecturers, and the latest books and periodicals were received by Mrs. Virginia Maddox and her staff in the Extension Library division.
Conducts 221 Classes
The final bureau is the Extension Classes Bureau which conducts more than 321 classes in 120 communities with an enrollment that exceeded 25,000 last year. Gerald Pearson heads the staff of this bureau.
Frank T. Stockton, director of the special projects program, is concerned with the developing of new programs for all the bureaus.
Harold Ingham, former director of Extension, joined the staff in July as activities coordinator. Mr. Ingham will attempt to meet requests made of the department that the staff has not been able to handle previously.
Mr. Walker expressed a belief that in future years that universities will be measured to a great extent by how well they meet the challenge of adult education. The director believes that Kansas has one of the most effective adult education programs in the middle-west.
KU Is Setting For Cage Novel
Don Wilcox, KU '28., uses Mt. Oread as the setting for his recently published book, "Basketball Star," a basketball novel for young readers.
Mr Wilcox calls his school Midwestern and his fictional coach Kendrick. The jacket of the book states that one of its purposes is to pay tribute to Phog Allen, the model for Kendrick.
readers.
The hero of "Basketball Star" is Ernie Abbott and the book concerns Ernie's activities on and off the basketball court during his junior year.
The novel is being published by Little Brown & Company of Boston.
Library Has Changes In Reserve Limit And Desk
A five-foot backward movement of the check-out desk and a new time limit on reserve books are changes in the undergraduate library said Robert L. Quinsey, chief of the library reading service.
The check-out and the "out" turnstile desk have been set back about five feet from their original positions near the doors, doubling the amount of room immediately inside the doors.
Wood paneling has been added and extends from the edge of the checkout desk to the south wall of the library, insuring the separation of the Reserve book stacks from the rest of the undergraduate library. Cork bulletin boards have been attached to the paneling where faculty members may post announcements about their outside reading assignments.
Mr. Quinsey said it was "the purpose of the undergraduate library to work more closely with faculty members and their classes concerning the use of the reserve book stacks." He added that lists for outside reading assignments in all courses would be kept at the check-out desk to help students who lose their own lists.
Monday, Sept. 19. 1955.
The limit a student may use reserve books has been cut from one day to two hours. This shortening of the time limit will be compensated by allowing the student to take the book anywhere he wishes as long as he recheeks it within the two-hour limit.
A book chute has been added immediately inside the doors. It is no longer necessary to enter the turnstile to check in a book.
Mr. Quinsey explained that such a plan had become necessary because of the increasing number of students using books from the reserve stacks.
"This system should result in more students being able to use a greater number of books," he said.
In 89 Years KU Has Grown From 56 To 7,800 Students
In 89 years, the University of Kansas has grown from a small preparatory school with 56 students, three faculty members, and a single building to 7,800 students, 58 buildings and a full-time faculty of 800.
When KU opened on Sept. 12, 1866, the 29 men and 26 women attending classes were not prepared for college work in the single department available. As a result, the newly founded school served both as preparatory school and university for a number of years.
At present, the University has 10 major schools, 10 divisions and 59 departments. The offices and classrooms are in 53 buildings on

the main campus and at the Medical Center in Kansas City. KU now offers college work, professional training of university rank and graduate study and research.
The first territorial constitution of Kansas in December of 1885 provided for a university. In 1861 Congress reserved 72 sections of land for use and support of a state university.
In the early years of statehood, a heated argument sprung up over the location of the state university. Manhattan was chosen as the first site, but Gov. Robinson, native of Lawrence, vetoed the bill. Later Lawrence was selected over Emporia as the site.
