School Building Great Influence Architect Says
No building influences our early lives more than does the school building, Phillip Will, Jr., principal partner of Perkins and Will, Chicago architectural firm, said Monday afternoon.
A graduate of Cornell university, Mr. Will is one of the nation's leading architects. He holds a senior certificate of the National Council of Architectural Registration boards, and is registered for practice in 12 states.
"In designing a school building you must be aware of the political, economic and social factors of the surrounding community, for you will be dealing with all the people, and they are the ones who are paying the bill." Mr. Will said.
"It is easier to sell a building plan to the voters if they have had some small part in the original planning."
Mr. Will spoke to a group of approximately 100 students and faculty members of the architecture department in Strong auditorium on "Building for Education."
Mr. Will pointed out that because of the recent increase of births in the U.S. many additional school facilities will be needed by 1960, and that this will be a problem of great importance to the architect.
He said, "People are demanding a higher standard of construction in school buildings today, and the addition of facilities to be used by the people of the community as well as by the school children.
"Designs of school facilities have changed along with educational philosophy. Nowadays physical as well as mental aspects of education are stressed in the school systems, and these facts must be considered by the architect."
Mr. Will said that there were many problems still unsolved about school buildings, and surveys are being made by his firm to determine what influence color, sound and light have on the school age child.

Government Research Book Boosts Kansas Peace Officers
Raising the standard of the Kansas peace officer through special school training is the keynote of the report of the fifth annual Peace Officers' Training school just released by the bureau of government research on the University campus.
Give to the "Crusade for Freedom
The 132-page book has been prepared by Howard W, Hallman and Marvin Meade, research assistants for the benefit of the 116 peace officers who attended the school held on the campus July 23-26.
These men came from 60 Kansas towns and cities, and from Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska. The training school was made possible by a $10,000 grant from the Kansas Legislature.
In the first report Harold R. Fatzer, Kansas attorney general, stressed the professionalization of the peace officer in Kansas.
Included in the report is the gist of the class lectures for the three sections—1. A basic course for peace officers, 2. An advanced course in police science, and, 3. An advanced course in police administration.
Requirements for such a standard are adequate retirement systems, payment of salaries sufficient to remove temptation of bribes, aggressive state government leadership, training of officers, and the establishment of a crimes or police academy supported by the state, he said.
In another report Harold Pellegrino of the Kansas state safety department stressed that no group in the state is doing enough to prevent traffic accidents.
"We need a greater degree of cooperation and closer working relationships among all groups — police departments, press, radio stations, safety councils, and civic organizations." he said.
Pellegiro pointed out that of the 534 persons killed in Kansas traffic accidents in 1950, 102 were residents of other states. A total of 399 of the fatalities were male and 135 female. A total of 57 occurred in urban areas while 477 were in rural areas.
