Writer Finds 'Budgeting of Time' Easy Task-If You Have the Time
Rv STAN HAMILTON
"Write a story on how students should budget their time," the assignment sheet said.
Ins sounded good at first glance, but obviously the assigner did not know his writer very well. But we went about the task with reckless enthusiasm.
We first decided the best way to pose as an expert on this subject was to "live the part"—cut out the usual goofing off we had been doing and really see what was behind this budgeting business.
We decided to take a number of buddies into our confidence and get their opinions, so a meeting was called that night at one of the local dens of iniquity.
We hasselled the problem over amid talk of football, basketball, politics, women, the weather, etc., and labored off to bed at midnight just full of genuine ideas on the question.
The next morning we again labored—this time getting out of bed and off to class at 9 a.m., practically in the middle of the night. Class sped past between our preparing for another assignment — a good tip on how to study—and we adjourned to the union for coffee, another good method of relaxation.
Came lunch time and we strolled back to the house for a meal and
Came the end of the afternoon and we hustled back to the fraternity house for dinner, which lasted until about 7 p.m. Now we planned to study at long last.
some conversation with the brothers. And then we went to our ) p.m. class and there prepared our lesson for the next day for that ) a.m. class.
But, alas, an hour dance, something we think very worth while and much more important than books. After all, one doesn't live with books, you know. Also good relaxation.
We took the ladies home, then changed back into our working garments for a short bit of study before that night's meeting of the gang which was helping me write this piece.
But, alas, again, now it was time to practice basketball, something else we think of more than mere books. Got to keep the muscles (?) in shape (for what?).
Off again to a board meeting. A few other minor items overlooked previously also transpired in our experimental day.
When we dragged off the court at the final whistle we found the library now was closed. Our roommate had gone to bed and, nice fellows as we are, we didn't want to disturb him by turning on the light just to study.
First there was a bit of writing to be done for that day's Kansan. There was a Kansan board meeting before dinner. There was our daily work to be done. We interviewed Phog Allen for a story. We cleaned up the room. We wrote three letters that had been put off too long anyway. We spent an hour trying to argue out of doing this story. We spent an hour watching basketball practice for a story for tomorrow.
We spent some time trying to round up a late story. We had to go to the cleaners. A phone bill had to be paid. There was a fraternity song practice. We conferred a bit with our "pledge son." There was another night meeting, which we barely made. And that 30-minute TV program was well worth the time spent.
There you have a typical day. Nothing to get alarmed about. Why all the gunching about having no time? We found plenty of time when we set our watch back half a dozen times.
Radio, TV Lecture Set
Off again to a board meeting.
The transcontinental transmission of television and radio and the principle of phonevision will be discussed at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in room 205 Journalism building.
The discussion will be conducted by Frank R. Arnoldy, engineer with the Southwestern Bell Telephone company in Topeka.
The principles and special requirements for the long distant transmission of television and radio will be outlined by Mr. Arnoldy. A miniature demonstration of the radio relay system will be used to illustrate this phase of the talk.
An explanation and demonstration of the development of phonevision, the latest development in pay-as-you-see-it television, will be given.
The films, "New Skyways for the Telephone," "Coaxial and Microwave Miracles," and "Zenith Presents Phonevision" will be shown in conjunction with the talk.
Oh, you never had it so good they tell us, Balderdash!
The meeting and discussion is sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional advertising fraternity, and is open to the public.

Army Losing Fight Against Troops Cut
Washington—(U.P.)The Army today appeared to have lost its fight against a proposed 10 per cent manpower cut next year.
Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson told a news conference yesterday he thought the Army could absorb the reduction without impairing its combat strength in any section of the world.
The Army had balked at the proposal. It contended the personnel cut would reduce its combat strength in Europe, the Far East and within this country.
Weather Outlook Normal for Month
Washington — (U.P.) The weather bureau said today its outlook for December calls for a general trend toward more normal temperatures over most of the nation.
The bureau said somewhat above normal averages are expected in the Great Lakes region and northeast while below normal is indicated over the southwestern quarter of the nation. In other areas near normal is predicted.
This is in contrast with the warmer than normal conditions which prevailed during November.
Precipitation in excess of normal is anticipated over most of the country except for near or slightly below normal amounts over the northern plateau, Ohio valley, and southwest.
Geological Survey Releases Oil Map
"The Petroleum Industry in Kansas," as it looks on a map which reduces a mile to about a tenth of an inch, is now being released to the public by the State Geological Survey.
The map, prepared by Edwin D. Goebel, in charge of the Geological Survey's oil and gas division, is a compact presentation of the State's $340-million-a-year industry. It is a practical-use map, issued in the interests not only of those in the oil and gas and allied industries but also of the general public.
Featured on the map are producing oil and gas pools, and operating pipe lines, refineries and plants, and compressor and pump stations, shown in red and green, with pool names in black, on a gray base of Kansas.
Secondary recovery projects, numbering 170, are spotted in various oil pools. The pipe lines, representing more than 33,000 miles of lines that have been laid in the state, are identified by company name and by size. The state's 15 oil refineries, 18 natural gasoline plants, three carbon black plants, one helium plant, and many pump and compressor stations are indicated by symbols.
Jack Goble and James Rutherford, engineering freshmen, underwent emergency surgery yesterday at Watkins Memorial hospital. Their conditions were reported good this morning.

Dr. Thouless Predicts Unified Religious Body
Dr. Robert H. Thouless, professor of educational psychology at the University of Cambridge, believes that a highly unified religious body with a diversity of dogmatic opinion and mutual communion will be the model of future Christendom.
Dr. Thoules spoke last night on "Psychological Problems of Religious Intolerance."
He cited the Church of England as an example of diversity. The church is strong despite divided opinion of its members, he said. Church officials believe that diversity is a great weakness, he said, adding that "I believe the Church is on the right path."
Tracing part of the history of religion, he said that the burning of heretics was the most extreme form of religious persecution. He said both the Roman Catholic church and Calvin-Luther sects practiced persecution, "Persecution did not lead to uniformity of belief," he said, "but we all condemn persecution for heresy."
"We may have the same current attitudes towards rightness of belief," he said, "but our present-day Bibles and prayer books were compiled by persons who burned heretics."
He said intolerance was a form of rejection, but a religious group which practiced intolerance "was keeping intact a body of teaching which may be valuable." There is some justification for intolerance, he said, "for some cults would have been degraded by alien teachings."
The linkage is not a direct one, he said, for the Christian church is faced with the problem of its teachings clashing with those of others. Attitudes can be divided into two camps—one of complete rejection of other beliefs or one of acceptance of any novel or alien teaching, he said.
Other religions have their insights which we should not be ignoring," he said, adding that "it is a typical behavior pattern to select other beliefs."
"Our present-day Christianity has assimilated elements of alien faiths," he said. "Christmas symbols and decorations are pagan in origin," he said.
There was a great deal of assimilation in the Catholic church in Middle Ages, he said. "The Reform movement was to cut out assimilation and get back to the original religion," he said.
He asked, "What attitude should we take to novel teachings?" Some
believe one can become a liberal by having a large degree of tolerance and believing many creeds, he said, "but disbelieving what was originally believed doesn't make tolerance," and "disbelfield doesn't solve the problem of authority."
"In a united religious body, all members believe the same," he said. "Heretics were persecuted because they were a threat to the community." he said.
try. He said,
"The social-psychological viewpoint of this problem is that not all members have to believe the same, but differences of opinion make for a strongly unified group," he said. "We psychologists have the same aims and problems, but we also have differences of belief," he said, adding that "in a scientific society, nobody expects everyone to believe alike."
Paintings by Coach Displayed in Union
Three oil paintings, done by Wayne Replogle, assistant football coach, are on display in the main lounge of the Union.
Mr. Replogle began painting while he was athletic director and coach at Elgin academy in Illinois, several years ago.
His paintings all are of western scenes. The first of the pictures on display is titled "Big Horn Mountains—Wyoming." The second is "Late Summer in the Gyp Hills—Kansas."
This scene is part of the Robbins ranch west of Medicine Lodge on what used to be the route of Old Soldiers stage-coach line. The third picture is of Crow Heart peak, so named because the heart of a Shoshone Indian chief is reported to be buried there.
