Kansas Begins Industrialization
Dean F. T. Stockton, of the School of Business, will sit with the Industrial Council of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce tomorrow when it considers programs for industrial research in Kansas.
With the appropriation of $90,000 for industrial research by the Kansas Industrial Development commission, the future of Kansas has been lifted from the farrow and the row into the limitless possibilities of industrialization.
The law stipulates that two-thirds of the appropriation must be used for the development of agricultural products and new ways of using them in industrial manufacture, which will mean more markets for Kansas farms.
The commission has assigned two important research activities, one to the University for the development of plastics to be produced from Kansas products, and the other to Kansas State College for a study of dehydration of farm products principally for human use.
Signing the bill Monday, Governor Schoeppel said: "The Legislature made one of the most farreaching decisions of that or any other session when it doubled the appropriations of the Kansas Industrial Development commission."

The Red Cross mobile unit will be in the Community building Apr. 8-9.
Students Procrastinate
Kansan reporters who attempted to compile a symposium of student reasons for not giving blood found that most students were not willing to be quoted. "I think that it is a good idea, but I haven't the time," was the most frequent reply to the question, "Why haven't you donated your blood?" Others said that the intramural track meet on the date that the mobile unit will be here interfered. Other answers were:
Bill Lane, senior engineer: "I wanted to donate some blood a few weeks ago but arrangements could not be made. Now I have quizzes coming up and do not feel that I can give any and still remain in good shape for finals."
Bob McCarty, business senior: "I just haven't gotten around to it."
Parents' Consent Needed
Mary Bea Flint, graduate. "I am going to, but I've been slow in doing it. I haven't got my parents' consent yet."
Bill Bunt, business junior; "I just haven't got around to it. My blood type is the most common one, so I figured they wouldn't need mine so badly right now."
Martin Haffield, College junior: "I plan to donate some'blood April 8."
Mildred Whitted, College sophomore: "I just haven't gotten around to going over, but I am going to when I get time."
Because the Red Cross asked for donations so soon after the University hospital many students had already lost interest.
Eldred Jones, College sophomore:
"Td thought about it but just haven't taken the time."
Students Lose Interest
Dr. Canuteson is now having a list compiled of the names of students who have donated blood which will be in the Kansan Thursday.
Newman Club Pledges Blood Bank Contributions
At their last regular meeting Sunday morning in St. John's church hall, members of the Newman Club pledged a 100 percent contribution to the University Blood Bank.
The pledge was taken after Vernon McKale, president, suggested that the Newman Club do what it could to make the Blood Bank drive a success.
MALOTT APPROVES----
(continued from page one) more student representation on extra-curricular activities committees; enlargement of the Activity Ticket committee; at least some members of the student council or councils be elected for two-year terms to insure experienced student representatives; that council leaders delegate more generally to council members the responsibility of University committee representation; and that a committee of four faculty members and six students be set up to handle administration-student problems.
The report as approved by the Chancellor follows:
Students To Serve As Advisors
(1) That students be given advisory representation on University committees which administer extra-curricular activities such as the Lecture course, Athletic board, and Union Operating committee. In most of these activities students are already represented.
(2) That the present Activity Ticket committee be enlarged to ten members, five faculty and five from the student council, to serve as a general policy-recommending committee for all activities financed by the activity ticket, and to administer the reserve fund.
(3) That student representation be provided on such committees as extra-curricular calendar, convocations and lectures, and freshman week. Student representation already exists on some of these committees.
Two Students On Each Committee (4) That, in the interest of continuity and wherever practicable, student representation on committees consists of two members appointed by each student council, one of whom shall have served one year on the committee and the other of whom shall be serving the first year of a two year term.
(6) That the council presidents be urged to delegate to fellow council members the responsibility of council representation on most University committees, in order to give other council members opportunity for leadership as well as to release the presidents from an overload of committee assignments.
(5) That the policy of two year terms be suggested to the student councils for part of their membership.
(7) That a joint student-faculty committee be appointed to consider and discuss problems of student welfare and general University interest; that the committee consist of ten members-four from the faculty, preferably representing four University schools, and six from the student body, preferably representing six different student groups or interests.
