Cigarettes back at Union today
(Continued from page 1)
Union's gene is operating budget.
The profit from the five per cent commission sales in the residence halls' machines will be returned to the halls for the operation of their libraries.
Balfour and Remick made no estimation of the revenue expected from the additional sales.
Frank Burge, Kansas Union director, said that no estimate could be drawn from the 1964 sales as the student body size has increased and cigarette prices have changed.
Cigarettes at KU have had a long and interesting history, their ups-and-downs coinciding with the mood of the eras.
Though not an important issue at present comparable to the liquor question, the Vietnam war and the race problem, there were times at KU when many a campus liberal would lay down his academic life for the right to smoke a fag.
Little remembered, but martyrs in their own stead, were Harbin, McClure and Maloney, three KU students accused of smoking in "restricted" buildings in February 1940. Jim McClure and Pat Maloney were tried for smoking on the first floor of Strong Hall while Miss Harbin was castigated for smoking in the basement of Green Hall. The maximum penalty for smoking, not something to be taken lightly, was expulsion from KU.
The trio received a sentence of 30 days expulsion from all school buildings. Of the nine justices sitting on the student court, there was only one dissent. The dissenting law student, who voiced opposition to the severity of the penalty, was cited for contempt by

other members of the court—an unheard of practice.
The administration's position at the time, as expounded by former Chancellor Deane Malott prior to the passage of the smoking ban, was that "it is my responsibility to protect this property and if Fraser Hall or any other building burns it would necessitate night classes, not to mention Sunday classes." In response to Malott's argument, 91 law students presented a petition opposing the ban. What particularly rankled the students was a statement by the men's student adviser that the practice of smoking and its corresponding odor suggested a "loose atmosphere."
Earlier in KU history, discrimination of an even more perverse nature took place. "You've come a long way baby," the current slogan for one brand of cigarettes, is based on fact and the campus paper of 1913 attests to its validity. In that year, the administration placed red, black and white signs on the campus forbidding smoking in all buildings. However, when a "let-the-females-smoke-too" campaign stuck its dainty head above the ground on the Hill, the administration—showing it had the backbone educators have to have—decreed that, henceforth, smoking could not even take place on the approaches to these buildings or on their steps.
Said the University, "Smoking on the grounds where women students or visitors congregate will be regarded with disfavor. It would be better if students refrained entirely from smoking on the campus."
In 1944, KU girls rebounded when they took to pipe-smoking, a habit that won them world recognition. A Los Angeles paper ran a picture showing three USC
girls respectively engaged in (1) smoking a last cigarette, (2) trying a corn cob pipe, and (3) rolling her own. The story explained that the co-eds had been driven to these limits as a result of a cigarette shortage. The story said "this all began several months ago back on the campus of the University of Kansas." The story was picked up by the wire services and fed to overseas troops for comic relief.
stricted” building policy still existed. A '46 Kansan account stated that “Beginning Thursday, checkers’ will be on duty to warn and take names of students violating smoking regulations. Violators of smoking regulations will be brought before the student court for action.” The checkers by 1950 were the campus police. For first and second offense violators they simply “made suggestions.” habituals were hauled into court.
Both in 1946 and 1950, a "re-
Requisites changed
The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences approved curriculum changes and revised statements of major requirements for the B.A. degree in its monthly meeting Tuesday. George R. Waggoner, dean of the College, presided over the short meeting, attended by only 40 faculty members.
The major business of the meeting was the report of the educational policies committee, given by Harold Orel, professor of English. The report listed changes and additions in the curriculum, which were approved by the faculty. Orel also presented changes in the major requirements for the B.A. degree which would effect several departments within the College, including history, philosophy, social work and speech and drama.
A National Science Foundation grant of $37,400 will enable David H. Richardson, assistant professor of economics at KU, to conduct theoretical research in mathematical economics.
