$10,963,968 Needed For 2-Year KU Budget
Support of a general research program and an expansion of state services account for the moderate increase in the operating appropriations for the 1951-53 biennium sought by the University.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the university, presented to Cov. F. L. Hagaman Wednesday a two-year request for $10,963,968 for operation of the Lawrence campus. For operation of the University Medical center in Kansas City $3,-572,500 is sought. These do not include building requests.
For each of the next two fiscal years about $600,000 more is asked for the Lawrence campus than for the current year. The current operating appropriation is $4,882,500 and $5,473,988 and $5,489,980 are requested.
For each of the next two years K.U. seeks an appropriation of $497-500 for general research, Mr. Nichols said. This is new. Such a fund would support continuing investigations in the physical sciences, biological sciences and psychology, the social sciences and law, the humanities, education and journalism.
Currently faculty members conduct research with their own limited resources of time and money, or obtain sponsorship by some nonuniversity agency. Although funds for the latter are at an all-time high, many sponsors of fundamental research are asking that the recipient university match the grants.
A new item appears in the K.U. budget this time, that of $410,492 and $424,384 for salaries of state service employees. Previously all but about $100,000 of this, the net increase, had been included in the general University salary and wage request.
A superior research program results in better teaching by the faculty and in increased recognition of the graduates in the area of placement.
The services slated for expansion are the State Biological survey, University Extension, bureau of business research, bureau of government research, child research service, state laboratories for food and drug analysis and the Research foundation.
The State Geological survey, an individual budget item, also seeks
to expand its services by an annual budget increase averaging $63,000.
The University and wage requests of $3,427,630 for the next two years are about $650,600 from the next year. Some of the saving is only the bookkeeping transfer of state service salaries to another item, Mr. Nichols said.
However, for next year 33 full time and 62 part-time positions, the equivalent of 49 full time appointments, will be discontinued because of the expected decline in enrollment. Balancing this saving of about $145,000 a year will be provision for merit increases, averaging about $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, to some teaching and civil service personnel. In the request no consideration is given to inflationary trends.
Requests of $778,466 for maintenance each year are substantially the same as for the current biennium.
The increases are essential to staff and operate the new buildings and services authorized by the 1949 legislature. The building program financed by state, federal and private grants totals $5,000,000.
Funds are also sought for care of tuberculosis patients and the psychiatry clinic; the Kansas health program authorized two years ago.
Dr. Smith To Attend Education Meeting
Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education, will represent the University at a conference on improving the effectiveness of college faculties which will be held in Chicago Friday and Saturday.
Dean Smith was appointed as the University's official representative by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The conference is sponsored by the American Council on Education and the United States office of education.
Construction of the club house for the University faculty is nearly completed, and the building probably will be ready for occupancy early in the second semester. Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the planning committee, said that much of the plumbing, steamfitting, and electrical work has been completed, and some of the lathing and plastering has been done.
CLYDE LOVELLETTE, is shown taking a defensive rebound in Wednesday's 56 to 33 victory over Utah State as the victors' center John Miller (No. 5) isn't treated so friendly by the Jayhawkers' big All-American center. Kansas' Bob Kenney (No. 9) and Bill Houghland (behind Lovellette) look on. Twenty-two points against Utah State gives Lovellette a total of 47 points in K.U.'s first two games.
New Clubhouse Is Nearly Ready For KU Faculty
Lovellette will receive the severest test of his collegiate career on a three-game eastern trip that Kansas departs on Friday.
The quarters for the Faculty club which will soon be organized are being provided by rebuilding the former University High school, enlarged by a two-story addition on the east. The main entrance will be from Louisiana street, but a new porch and entrance are also being built on the west side, facing the Union building.
Clyde must play against two of the East's finest big men. St. John's university's Bob Zawoluk, 6-foot 6-inch center, and Bill Spivey, Kentucky's 7-foot All-American center.
Other members of the planning committee include Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, instructor in English; Miss Helen Lohr, associate professor of home economics; T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture; M.C. Slough, associate professor of law; and Joseph J. Wilson, business manager of the University.
The selection of a capable woman as hostess and supervisor of the 14-room club house is the problem now facing the committee. Miss Lohr is receiving applications for the position. She hopes to find a woman who is able to assist with planning of menus and to assume the general duties of hostess.
The club house is being fitted with a bedroom and study room for a mature male student who will be appointed as caretaker. Applicants for that position are being interviewed by Mr. Wilson.
A large gift of money by a University alumnus has made it possible to furnish the club house. The committee plans to have everything ready to move in as soon as the decorators finish their work.
The first floor of the house will have a modern kitchen and a dining hall which will seat 70 persons. Two small dining rooms will allow club members to arrange private lunches and dinner for guests. An entourage hall is a card room, a cloak room, and a men's rest room.
The second floor will feature a large living room and lounge and an outdoor deck. Comfortable chairs and davenports have been placed around a large fireplace, a piano, a rocking chair, a graph combination set. The living room and lounge can be used as one room for dancing and large parties.
When the club house is nearly ready, the planning committee will extend invitations to men and women on the faculty and in University executive positions to join. The planning committee intends that the club's dining service will be available only to members and their personal guests.
The south half of the second floor is a women's suite consisting of a living room, a lounge, a dressing room, and a club office adjoins the west entrance.
The title of Honorary Brigadier General of the national Pershing Rifle society may be won by a K.U. woman.
Pershing Rifles To Select Queen
Letters sent today to all organized women's houses request that a candidate for queen of the University company of Pershing Rifles be nominated by each organized house. Finalists will be chosen from photographs, which each candidate must furnish, by Dec. 18.
At a tea for the finalists the queen of the University company will be chosen. Her photograph will then be sent to the national organization, which will select one of the company queens for the Honorary Bradigier General title.

US To Press For Vote On 'Quit Korea' In UN
Lake Success, N.Y.—(U.P.)—The United States gave its United Nation's delegation top-level orders today to press for a vote by this weekend on a "quit Korea" demand to the Chinese Communists.
These orders backed up the agreement of President Truman and British Prime Minister Clement Attlee against appeasing Peking.
Orchestra To Play Tonight
The University Symphony orchestra will present a program of Tchaikovsky selections at 8 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium. Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, will direct the 85-member orchestra.
Washington—(U.P.)—The Defense department said today that 32,442 American casualties, including 5,616 dead, have been reported officially through Dec. 1.
The announced total was less than the actual number because of the lag in time required to notify next of kin. It would not include many of the casualties suffered in the Chinese Communists big drive to brush the United Nations forces.
32,442 Casualties In Korean War
Roger Butts, fine arts senior, will be soloist in the "Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor." Other Tchaikovsky selections to be included in the program are the "Romeo and Juliet, Overture, Fantasy" and the "Pathetique" (or Sixth symphony).
The U.N. General assembly's powerful, 60-nation political committee begins debate (at 9:45 a.m. C.S.T.) on a six-power resolution recommending that the Chinese communist government pull its troops out of Korea immediately.
The measure offers assurance to Peking that its interests in the Yalu river border area will be respected. But it carries a warning that if the communists continue their open intervention in the Korean war, Manchuria's border may no longer be held violate.
Meanwhile, Britain and Yugoslavia became the first European countries to support the 13-nation Arab-Asian appeal to the Chinese communists not to cross the 38th parallel.
The debate is expected to start with more Russian filibustering.
Big Three Agree On German Troops
London— (U.P) —The Big Three were finally agreed today to bring 150,000 German fighting men into the armies that will defend Western Europe but the Germans themselves appeared to be opposed.
The agreement, a compromise which calls for German combat teams totaling one-fifth of the Atlantic Pact armies, was completed early today when the French cabinet agreed to German recruiting with "the least possible delay."
"China fell into Communist hands partly because Chiang Kaishek failed to use the liberal element in his party," Henry Cornehlsen Jr., representative of the Atlantic Union committee, told a group of more than 50 faculty members, students and townpeople in the Hawk's Nest of the Union building Wednesday.
Speaking on "The Atlantic Union and the Question of War or Peace," Mr. Corrnheseh said that the attitude of the United States toward strained economy and the original agarian reform taken over by the Kremlin.
Speaker Blames Chiang For The Fall Of China
Mr. Cornehlsen is a journalist who has spent several years behind the iron curtain. He was in China in 1946 and 1947 and spent last summer in the Russian-occupied zone of Germany disguised as a German laborer. He has traveled around the world twice.
From his experiences in Germany and China, he expressed an opinion that the "Kremlin imperialists" are planning world domination, and explained the purpose of the Atlantic Union as a counter against Russian aggression.
"The Atlantic Union committee is working toward having a resolution passed by congress to have a convention of representatives of the seven democracies of the North Atlantic pact nations explore the possibilities of a free federal union within the framework of the United Nations," Mr. Cornehlsen said. Senator Kefauer mentioned this resolution when he addressed a University convocation here Nov. 30.
Mr. Cornhehlsen said the committee is working to lessen the inevitability of a third world war, to stop the constant drain on U.S. economy, to strengthen the United Nations, and to halt cold war.
"These aims can be accomplished by the democracies of the world forming a military, economic and political unit stronger than that of the Kremlin. This would cause Russia to think twice before starting aggression."
"These seven democracies would form the basis of a larger union for all democracies, for the purpose of keeping freedom and peace in the world," he added.
Professor's Children Display Talent During Performance Of 'Nativity Play'
By RICHARD HUNTER
Three actors—ages 5, 9, and 11—gave outstanding performances in the "Nativity Play," staged in Green hall Wednesday evening. Carolyn, Virginia, and Kenneth® Pinkney, Garden child
Kreye -Pinkney grade school students—are the first actors, other than University faculty members or students, to appear in a K.U. dramatic production since 1942. They are the first grade school children to appear in a university play since about 12 years ago.
According to their father, George Kreye, associate professor of German, the young actors got "a terrible case of butterflies" about four hours before going on stage Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The audience was unaware of any stage fright when the trio appeared as the children who are slain by soldiers of the jealous King Herod.
"Someday, I hope these three come to our stage as K.U. students. They have very promising talent," said Thomas Shay, director of the laboratory theater.
The "Nativity Play" will be given again at 3 p.m. Sunday.
