Pachacamac,FACTS Bid For Freshman Support
Pachacamac and FACTS, campus political parties, made their first strong bids for freshman support at a round-table discussion Wednesday night in North College hall.

Following the opening talks, anyone present was permitted to direct questions to either side with the understanding that the opposition could present its side of the question after an answer had been given.

Some students thought that because of ack of publicity about the Hawk's Nest and that students were in the habit of going other places, they could not get used to the idea that the Hawk's Nest is open in the evenings for dancing and refreshments.
Committee Discusses Union Plans
The Campus Affairs committee devoted most of its meeting Wednesday night to a discussion of the Haawk's Nest and why it isn't used more by the students.
"During the day the room has a good business, but after supper only a very few students come in to dance or get something to eat," L. E. Woolley, director of the Union, said.
Dancing is permissable anytime except on Sundays.
The general discussion topic is what students want from their Student Union building, Patricia Glover, education senior, led the discussion.
At the beginning of the meeting James Burgoyne, Student Union activities director, and Mr. Woolley told the group what facilities the
Union now has, and what it will have when the new addition is completed.
Mr. Woolley explained that the Union purchased a new record player and portable public address system. He said, in the new addition, rooms to accommodate a small dancing crowd of 50 to 100 persons will be available.
Emalene Gooch, College senior, brought up questions about music, floor space, and decorations for dances in the Union.
"As far as decorations are concerned," said Mr. Woolley, "there are two reasons we have to restrict them. In the first place they are in many cases a fire hazard, and in other cases students damage the woodwork and walls by putting them up."
A suggestion was made of lining part of the walls of the new rooms with a plaster board to which decorations could be fastened.
"I feel sure that more organized groups would want to have parties in the Union if some provisions for
decorating could be made," Miss Jooch said.
The question was raised as to how to improve on book selling arrangements in the Union bookstore during the first part of each semester.
Mr. Woolley said that actually there had been a great increase in the efficiency of book selling in the last five years. Five years ago students were clocked on how long it took them to buy their books. The average time was 90 minutes. This year another test was taken and the average time was 20 minutes.
Several students expressed a desire for drugstore items to be sold in the Union. They complained that it was quite inconvenient to go downtown just to buy a toothbrush, soap or razor blade.
Mr. Woolley agreed that such a service would be an asset to the Union, but the book store committee has decided not to handle such items because of possible conflicts with other business interests. Therefore, at the present time the Union is making no provision for such service.
Eleven members of the All Student Council, the president of the KuKu's, the head cheer-leader, and the dean of men and dean of women, were guests of the K-State student council at a dinner meeting in the Wareham hotel. After signing the pact the group discussed improving relations between the two schools.
James K. Logan, ASC president, said that the word "peace" in the pact was giving the wrong impression. It is now to be known as the "friendship" pact.
A joint committee of eight, chosen from students and administrators of both schools, sets the punishment for damage to the campuses. The minimum penalty is repair of damaged property and the maximum a recommendation that the offender or markers be suspended for one semester.
The word "fight" in the treaty was changed to "undesirable activities," and the phrase which stated the purpose of the character as to "safeguard the welfare" of the schools was changed to read "to promote good relations between" the schools.
The peace pact was drawn up in 1931 after both campuses were damaged in pre-game activities.
The traditional friendship dinner is held alternately in Lawrence and Manhattan to revise and sign the pact.
The purpose of the pact is to safeguard the welfare of the students, protect property of both schools and townspeople, insure peaceful relations between the schools, and to abolish all undesirable pre-game activities.
Last year KU was assessed for the destruction of a goal post after the football victory at Manhattan, and K-State was fined for greasing a KU flagpole and applying paint to the campus.

Today is the era of the doctor of philosophy degree, Dean T. DeWitt Carr, of the School of Engineering and Architecture, speaking on "Engineering Man Power" told a group of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering Wednesday night. At one time, he said, a high school diploma was considered well educated. Through the years this conception has evolved to the bachelor of science and the master of arts and finally to the doctor of philosophy degree.
This Is Ph.D. Era Dean Carr Says
A doctorate gives an engineer a well rounded education with a foundation to do research work, he said.
Dean Carr said the government has no deferment policy concerning engineers and consequently he predicted a future shortage of technicians.
