Malott Talks On Budget At Hearing
The needs of the University for the next two years were presented to the state legislature this morning when Chancellor Deane W. Malott made his regular biennial appearance before the Senate Ways and Means committee.
It is from this report that appropriations will be made for the two-year period beginning July 1 of this year. The hearing was held in the statehouse in Topeka where Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, accompanied Mr. Malott today.
Before Building Hearing
Chancellor Malott, along with Pres. F. D. Farrell of Kansas State College and Thomas W. Butcher, president of Emporia Teachers College, appeared before the joint assessment and taxation committee Tuesday evening in Topeka to outline the needs of the University in connection with a proposed quarter-mill tax levy to finance a 10-year building program.
The program would be financed by a levy on all tangible property. The tax would yield about $640,000 a
year for building at state institutions.

Hanging Room Only For K.U.-N.U. Fray All Reserved Seats Sold
The last reserved seat tickets for the Kansas-Nebraska game here Monday night were sold today, leaving only general admission tickets for the top balcony and standing room.
State legislators have been invited to the game and providing space for them has been quite a problem. It was solved by finding enough season ticket holders willing to give up their seats to legislators.
Fans were warned by E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of the University athletic department, not to come any distance to the game expecting to get seats. Seats in the top balcony do not give a full view of the playing floor.
Music Masters To Meet In March
With the Kansas-Oklahoma game here more than a month off yet, only 150 reserved seat tickets remain for the crucial contest. The sale of tickets for this game started early in the season.
Between 300 and 500 music teachers and supervisors will come to the University March 3 and 4 to listen and learn in the various master classes of the 33rd annual convention of the Kansas Music Teachers Association. Convening jointly with the convention will be the Kansas chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
Famous musicians who will instruct are: John Thompson, piano; Theodore Harrison, voice; Cecil Burleigh, violin; E. Power Biggs, organ. On the entertainment side will be recitals by Mr. Biggs, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Burleigh, two concerts by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra under Dr. Karl Kreuger, a special demonstration of the Symphochrome, a color machine devised by T. D. Jones of the design department, and a WPA band from Kansas City, Kansas.
Two luncheon meets and two banquets will highlight the convention, one of which will see the organization of a Kansas Guild of violinists.
Music classes in the School of Fine Arts will be suspended for the convention. Admission to the master classes will be $2.50 each for non-members of the association.

Nash Says Enroll Now For Reading
Students interested in the reading course offered by the University should enroll right away in room 18 of Fraser hall, Dr. Bert A. Nash, professor of education, announced today. The enrollment will be limited.
Any student who wishes to enroll whether freshman or graduate, may do so. This reading laboratory is designed to improve the student's reading ability regardless of how well he reads now.
The laboratory is conducted at almost every hour on Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday and Thursday. It is a two-hour course, although no credit will be given.
Professor Nash said that students already enrolled should report Friday to get the class assignment.
Believe Loss In Enrollment Is General
Slight enrollment losses were predicted for the University today as classes went into the second day for approximately 200 new students and more than 4,000 carry-overs from the fall semester.
Though an enrollment drop is always expected in the spring semester, indications are that the losses will be greater this year.
Kansas State College at Manhattan reported the usual enrollment decrease for this semester and an additional loss of 100 students.
Three Reasons For Loss
Three reasons were given last year by University authorities for the normal enrollment loss for the spring semester:
1. Financial difficulties.
2. Mid-term failure.
It was believed the additional losses in enrollment, here and in other schools, could be attributed to general unsettled affairs and the rosy appearance of national defense branches and schools.
3. Completion of college work at mid-term.
Official enrollment figures are usually not released for several weeks. Feb. 12 Fee Deadline
The University business office set Feb. 12 as the deadline for payment of fees. An additional five days was provided, however, for late payment but 50 cents is added to the price for each day of the additional five. Feb. 17 is the absolute deadline for late fee payment.
Psychological examinations for new students are scheduled for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Fraser theater. Late enrollment or enrollment changes may be made at 9 o'clock Saturday morning in Robinson gymnasium.
