Architects Discuss State Registration
The need of registration of architects in Kansas was discussed at a meeting of the Kansas chapter of the American Institute of Architects Friday and Saturday. Kansas is one of the last states in the country which does not require registration of architects. It may be brought before the next legislature.
Twenty new associate members and corporate members were nominated at the meeting. Their names have been sent to Washington, D.C. for approval of membership.
The meeting closed with a luncheon Saturday, but most of the members stayed for the Kansas State football game.
200 Kansas Newspapermen Attend Editors' Conference
Rv LEONARD SNYDER
More than 200 Kansas editors attended the annual Editors' day conference at the William Allen White School of Journalism, Saturday.
Principal speakers at the conference were James Lawrence, 37, news director of radio station KSD-TV, St. Louis, and Robert Blakely, editorial writer for the Des Moines Register and Tribune. Larry Miller, sec-
association, was chairman of the Wrangle session in which business and editorial problems of the day were discussed.
"We in this room are extremely privileged people." Chancellor Deane W. Malott said in welcoming the group. "There are few areas in the world today where we can get together and say anything we care to. It's the great privilege of all to criticize anybody and say what we want to. This University is tolerate of those ideas. It is a place of hospitality for ideas—everybody's ideas on every subject."
How modern nations reached their present form was the theme of Robert Blakely's address. The United States has followed the English revolution and Russia has followed the French revolution, Mr. Blakley said in discussing the transition from feudalism to modernism.
"Russia's just criticism of our system is not a justification for their system, and our just criticism of their system is not any justification or ours." Mr. Blakely said.
The practical problems of televisi on broadcasting was discussed by James Lawrence, '37, news director for station KSD-TV, St. Louis, the only operating television station in the Middle West.
Mr. Blakely said that we have a class society similar to that of the Russians. In 1940, he said, a survey poll showed that 88 per cent of the people believed they belonged to the middle class. But when conditions get prosperous or bad this idea they have of being in the middle class goes away, he added.
"We are in the 'saloon stage' of television broadcasting," said Mr. Lawrence. "The 2,000 sets in St. Louis isn't too many, but most of them are in taverns, hotels, and public places, and this helps to promote the medium."
"Taking up their challenge of what we mean by consent of the governed, the Russians are right; if we have a democracy we've got to have responsibility. We've got to bring in more groups and classes of the entire society."
Mr. Lawrence said there are over 100,000 television sets in the country and two-thirds of this number are in the New York area. In this area there are 12 television stations and 60 permit holders, he said.
Mr. Lawrence cited Paul Hoffman, President of the Studebaker corporation, and director of Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc., as saying the industry would create five million jobs within the next decade.
Peruvian Shake May Claim 100 In Death Toll
Lima, Peru—(UP)—Reports from central Peru said today that at least 51 persons were killed in the earthquakes that shook seven towns more than 70 times Saturday and Sunday.
Officials said they feared the death toll would be 100 or more when all casualties are finally known. The earthquake shook great landslides from the mountains down into the Satipo river. These slides dammed up the river and forced it to go over its banks, sweeping away many houses and the people in them.
A hospital was one of the buildings swept away by the river's waters at Satipo. Only a few of the patients were saved, Houses, plantations, a bridge and part of the main highway were destroyed.
Unconfirmed reports said the town of Satipo, which had a population of about 2,000, was nearly wiped out. Most of the townspeople fled after the first shocks and were living in the fields out of reach of the flooding river.
The Peruvian Red Cross sent planes loaded with relief supplies to the stricken towns, but there was doubt as to how close they could land. The towns are isolated and there are no landing fields in the immediate area.
The earthquake also cast up large waves along the northern coast of Peru. They swamped at least six fishing boats, but all on board were reported saved.
Federal Union, Inc. To Meet Tonight
Alastair Kyle, representative of Federal Union, Inc., will address members of the University chapter at 7:30 tonight in the recreation room of the Union.
The meeting will be for discussion of the principles and ideals behind the organization, Ralph Moberley, president of the K. U. chapter said.
"This is not to be a meeting for the specific purpose of obtaining members," said Moberly, "but it will be the first visit of anyone from national headquarters. We do not expect to obtain a great deal of pertinent information on building the organization from Mr. Kyle. The building will be done by student members."
The meeting will be open to chapter members and to students who wish to know more about "one-world" government.
National and international political and economic policies are under surveillance and discussion by the local chapter.
Harry T. Schwann and William Egensberger, Kansas City Industrial engineers, spoke on problems of industrial engineering Thursday at a senior seminar sponsored by the Society for the Advancement of management.
Engineers Hear KC Industrialists
Mr. Schwann, an industrial engineer, recommended that graduates first seek employment as a plant worker to learn to think as a worker does. This experience would prove invaluable in handling problems confronting industrial engineers, he said.
Mr. Egensberger, also an industrial engineer, stated that all successful industrial engineers enjoyed meeting people. "If ever a worker feels you are cheating upon their privileges they will never again believe you." Egensberger said.
The next seminar sponsored by the S. A. M. will be held Thursday in the Pine Room of the Union. Speakers will be Carl Krautter, superintendent-in-charge of operations and personnel of Emery-Bird Thayer of Kansas City, and J. W. B. Foringer, vice-president in charge of industrial relations of the Kansas City Power and Light company.

Three Faculty Members Teach At Union Clinic
Warren Bowman, College senior, said, "Divide the seats into four equal divisions, ranging from choice to poor seats. When the student buys his ticket, he will be given a seat in a different section for each game."
believed that it was the lesser of two evils, since reservations would cause too much confusion. In all instances students were emphatic in their demand for a new field house. However, 30 suggestions were given in favor of different plans to reserve seats, and among them may be born the solution to this problem.
World Go-Go Sections
He said, "Rotate the sections of reserved seats by using numbers on activity books. For example, numbers 4000 to 5000 would sit in a balcony section for one game, and on the main floor for the next game."
The plan proposed by Craig Hampton, sophomore in fine arts, added to this proposal a suggestion for assigning the sections simply. Rotate The Sections
Armand D. Wullschleger, business senior, believes that seats should be reserved and rotated instead of sections.
Would Go By Sections
Nine students wanted to divide Hoch auditorium into sections, grouping students and rotating these groups to give all the fans a chance to sit in the choice seats.
"Season tickets should have printed on them the seats reserved for the purchaser for each game. The seats would be varied from good to poor." Do It Alphabetically
Frank Rozich, engineering senior,
was one of several students who
thinks the reservations should be
made alphabetically to minimize
book-work. But Verne Collier, business
junior, supported the section-
plan because it would allow students
to sit with friends, one of the criticisms
of reserving seats individually.
Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, head basketball coach, favors reserving seats on a basis of "first come, first served". He believes that rotation would take care of itself, and this system would also give the athletic department a chance to check demand.
He said, "I favor reserving seats unconditionally because a lot of married students cannot get away two hours before game-time to get a good seat."
Reserve For Married Couple John Conrad, instructor of political science, spoke for married students particularly.
Said Rebecca Larsen, fine arts junior, "No seat should be reserved for anyone not a student unless he is a prominent official. They are usually given the best seats available and the students have to take what is left."
Many students were opposed to selling or reserving seats to anyone not enrolled in the University.
Galen Wampler, College senior, offered a suggestion not for solving this year's seating problem, but for paying the basketball admission.
"I favor Kansas State's plan of including the price of tickets on the activity books, and applying this fund to any the legislature might give to build a new field house."
