There's Praise to Be Given: The Science Building
"The new science building will stand through the years as a constant reminder of the achievement of KU men of science, who have contributed to the mushrooming development of our scientific age."
These were the words of former Chancellor Maillott in his dedication of the new building.
The official opening of the physical science building is another tangible example of the University's "look to the future." Speeches and comments are constantly made to the effect that KU is a progressive school, being farsighted enough to see the role of the various phases of education, and establishing systems whereby the new developments can be learned and practiced. Yet, these speeches often reach deaf ears, considered to be just another morale booster for the students and alumni.
The building is equipped with the newest science materials and built according to the latest architectural plans for educational structures. It
is there for students, faculty, alumni, and visitors to see as evidence of KU's progressivism.
In its various class rooms, students will be given an opportunity to see the research being done in new fields. They no longer will be able just to read about the latest research, but actually take part in the experiments.
For many years Kansas was considered to be a backward state. It seemed that the Sunflower state was the last to accept new methods and ideas in the field of science research. Kansans were the "doubling Thomases" of the West.
With new advances being made in science at KU, other fields can hope to aspire to the same goals of progressiveism. Students interested in physics, chemistry, and pharmacy will be attracted to the University for their learning. National leaders in the field of science also will find in KU a utopia of study.
Kansas should be proud to be part of this investment in the future, as well as the University.

The New Fieldhouse
One of the architects of KU's multimillion dollar fieldhouse recently pointed out some of the advantages the huge sports plant will have.
The architect said it will be one of the easiest fieldhouses in the country to reach—from all points. First, the new double-lane highway, between highway 10 and the fieldhouse, will be a boon to many southern Kansas Citians who at one time had to fight this city's narrow streets to get to Hoch auditorium. Second, the proposed two-lane highway between Kansas City and Wichita will aid northern Kansas Citians and other persons along the route in reaching the fieldhouse.
He said the new fieldhouse will be far superior
to K-State's for a number of reasons. He said most of the seats in the KU building are on either side of the basketball court, and not primarily behind the baskets. At K-State, most of the seats are in the wrong place.
With the advantage of easier access and greater seating capacity, it wouldn't surprise us if KU will be hosting the regional NCAA playoffs in the very near future—instead of K-State.
And with a huge parking area almost completed, persons from many parts of Kansas and Missouri will find it most convenient to attend indoor sports events at KU. —Tom Lyons
The Union Cafeteria
We feel just a little stuffed and pause a moment to strike the typewriter keys in praise of the Student Union cafeteria—the food there has a magnificent virtue—it is always interesting.
We mean by this that the menu is filled with variety—no constant sellers day after day—new things are tried, and eventually everyone's favorite recipe is bound to be cooked up.
The food is well prepared, well seasoned, and the coffee is drinkable. The service is fine, moves fast, and the prices are reasonable, wonderfully so. Even the smallest budget keeper can afford to be well-fed via the cafeteria.
Of course, the place is pretty crowded, but all
stomachs sing songs at 12, so the only solution is to hurry over and get in line.
The cafeteria is a wonderful place for observing University types, too—professors, students, alums who are showing-John-and-Mary-around—everyone all can be found any weekday at the cafeteria.
It is also a fine place to go for Sunday meals, since its right on the Hill, cheap, and filled with good food.
We see no reason for any KU student weighing in at under 100—even though the hill climbing is strenuous, when the cafeteria is right on the campus. Mary Bess Stephens
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
A French foreign student was rather upset the other night when another student suggested that the French government should install bells and make a campanile of the Eifel Tower.

Promised for this weekend is a Campanile concert with carilonneurs attending from all over the United States. It brings to mind the story of the fellow visiting the Notre Dame cathedral for the first time. He said to a Frenchman seated by him, "Ah, the bells are lovely, lovely."

CAMPUS COMMENT
"Pardon me?" said the Frenchman, who, fortunately for purposes of this story, was an English-speaking Frenchman.
"I say, I love the music of the bells," replied the Englishman.
"What did you say?" shouted the Frenchman.
"I said," screamed the Englishman. "I love the bells."
"Pardon, monsieur," answered the Frenchman, "I will not be able to hear you until that idiot stops ringing those blankety-blank bells."
So haul out the earplugs. It could happen here

Election results prove happy tidings for the Democrats, and even most Republians can find a golden, glowing compensation in the results: Due to the Democratic Senate majority, Sen. McCarthy won't be a committee chairman anymore.
