K.U. Applauds Appropriation Of Legislature
News that the state legislature has passed the educational appropriation bill pleased not only University administration officials, but also University students who realized that some of the badly needed campus improvements were at last guaranteed.
The requests for the biennial salaries, wages, maintenance, and repair accounts have been granted by the legislature. Increases in the salary budget will enable an increase in the salaries of deserving faculty members and will enable the University to hire capable men to fill vacancies. By increasing the salaries of the faculty members, the University may better compete with the schools of other states in maintaining a staff of superior ability.
Of great interest to the student body is the news that three campus buildings will be improved. Although journalism students affectionately call their department building "the Shack," they realize only too well the appropriateness of the term. Funds totalling $800,000 granted by the legislature for the improvement of the three campus buildings will undoubtedly soon remove the term "Shack" from the journalist's daily conversation.
Reading and reference rooms to be added to Watson library will remove a great deal of the confusion and turmoil that disturb those who now try to study in the crowded library. Although the Mineral Resources building is one of the University's newest structures, the addition of a fireproof shop at the south end of the building is necessary to provide adequate facilities for the work carried on there.
Returning veterans will be surprised to see such changes, and they probably will be relieved to find that war conditions have not blinded legislators and University authorities—that they are even more aware of the increasing importance of progress and improvement in the educational world. The legislature and the governor have enabled Kansas to face the future with confidence.

"Anybody got a match?"—Great indecision was raised in some minds the other night when the San Francisco Ballet and Lauren "The Eyes" Bacall's "To Have and Have Not," the current "must," gave conflicting performances. The "ayes" had it in the case of Bob Ramsey, Phi Gam. Calling up Gloria Grey, Kappa, to make the usual pre-date arrangements, he questioned, "What'll it be, society or sex?"

On recent trips with the K.U. track team, the Leigh lap has been occupied by various gurgling youngsters whose mammas have placed their implicit trust in his "you-reminde-me-of-my-brother" smile.

Dr. Smythe to Speak On Fair Employment

Dr. Mabel Smythe, professor of economics at Lincoln college, Jefferson City, Mo., will be a guest of the Y. W. C. A. at a coffee hour at Henley house at 4:30 tomorrow. She will speak on "Fair Employment."
Dr. G. C. Rieker, Hamilton, has given 11 bird skins from southwest Arizona to the Museum of National History.
Dr. Smythe's discussion has been arranged by the following commissions: the Y. W. lobby, the global governments commission, the American labor movement, and the commission of work of the church.

Dr. Rieker Gives Bird Skins
The Red Cross is doing a "swell job" in Italy, according to Dean Nesmith, former trainer and assistant coach in the department of physical education.
The report was made recently in a V-mail letter to Dr. F. C. Allen, Mr. Nesmith, who is with the army athletic specialized training service, reported that small youngsters are begging for food, and that women are working the fields.
"The Red Cross is doing a swell job, my hat is off to them," Mr. Nesmith wrote.
"Cocky" Child, Kappa freshman, has been religiously fulfilling her duty as official window-closer and heat-turner-on for the past week. The other morning, she hopped eagerly (?) out of bed at the unthinkable hour of 6:30 hoping to make the rounds in her usual record-breaking speed of two minutes.

Both fate and Eleanor Churchill were against her, however. Tired of "Corky's" crash-bang entrances and departures. Elly had cooked up, the previous night, an elaborate system of ropes, golf balls, books, and ill will, and fastened it precariously to the door. Chuckling sadistically, she retired for the night.
