Union Building Operating Set-Up May Be Changed
- Facilities Not Adequate
To Accommodate Many
Requests by Students Says
Dean Werner
The possibilities of a new operating committee set-up for the Memorial Union building and a report on the last 10 years' progress of the building will be considered at a dinner meeting Tuesday, March 14 Henry Werner, men's student advisor, said. The meeting will be submitted to the board of directors of the Memorial Union corporation.
"The fountain cannot take care of the business," said Wermer, "and I doubt if any business man would have it. The ballroom cannot accommodate all the persons wishing to dance or all groups that wish to hold dances and parties there. It has come to the point where reservations are being made a year in advance, so you must make a new arrangement something can be done to alleviate these difficulties."
The business of the Union building has increased to that point where the present set-up is no adequate to take care of the situation, said Mr. Werner. The project has been operated successfully during the past 10 years and it is because of this success that some step must be taken to handle its affairs more efficiently, he continued.
For the edification of students not aware of the Union building's method of operation, Mr. Wrenne said. "The Union building was built by subscription; no state money was used. In order to handle funds and to operate the building the University of Kansas Memorial Union corporation was founded on the second of May, 1921, as a non-profit organization, all profits going back into the bulking. A board of directors was created. The following members were elected to that board in July, 1923: E. Lindley H. S. Paulen, J. C Nichols, R. J. Delano, Irving Hill, T. J. Sweeney, Bert Ober, F. C Allen, Porter Fones, Ward McGill, George T. Guerzeny, W. Y. Morgan, Charles P. Woodbury, M. L. Breidenthal, E. B. Black, Sheffield Ingalls, Clarence Mumals, Arab Weideman, Frank Crowell, Thornton Cook, Chester Woodman."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1939
"This board gave authority for a University Operating committee to be created. This body consists of one member of the Board of Residents and one student alumni elected by alumni directors; three faculty members appointed by the University Senate; four women students elected by the Women's Self Governing Association, and four men students by the Men's Student Council. The president of each student council is ex-officio members."

ON THE SHIN
by jimmy robertson
a concerto hotel clerk did much to bring Dirk Driscoll and Bill Bunsen out of the depths of deepest despondency at Columbia last Thursday night. The two football playing basketball fans got the wrong key from the clerk and proceeded upstairs where they opened the door and stepped into the lobby, where the fellows backed out the door. After a lot of quibbling as to whose room it was the boys lost. In glowing terms Bill described her as very sweet, very pretty, and not much over forty.
Edwin Browne should have come out like a man and said, "Lassen Robertson, this is strictly off the record, but I discovered the other day that the fellow who has been leaving anonymous unsigned notes on my desk is Roger Ludenam. He's doing

Last night's victory enabled Coach Bruce Drake to enter the conference coaching fraternity with a title in his first attempt. Drake, a former court star, was at the help for Oklahoma the first time this year.
Early this semester when finances diminished to the point where something had to be done the boys met the situation by purchasing a trailer house. Both boys are proud of their purchase and find that the family funds last much longer, as they do their own cooking, and do not have that "usual" monthly room rent to pay.
Two essentials of a higher education today are: brains and money What a student lacks in money he has to make up for in brains that is what Don Thompson, c41, and Larry Lemm, a professor in high school, did when they purchased a trailer house.
Washe scored his 16th point with seven minutes to go but was unable to hit the bucket in the closing minutes. His teammates were "feeding" but the towering center could not connect.
An attack of influenza will prevent Marjorie Whitney, assistant professor of design, from giving a lecture on "Handcrafts of Sweden" at Sponer-Thayer museum this evening. Instead, Miss Maud Ellis instructors in art education will speak on "The Handcrafts of Mexico."
Even though monthly expenditures are much less, eats are more plentiful than formerly, the boys explained.
Trailer Proves To Be Solution Of Students' Financial Problem
The lecture will be held in Spooner-Thayer museum and will begin at 7:30.
Oklahoma stepped into a tie for the Big Six Basketball title with Missouri when, then tripped Kansas State 50-38 in Manhattan last night. Homer Weschel, tall Aggie center and leading conference scorer, led the basket bombardment with 16 points. The Oklahoma "Boys Scats," who really lived up to their illustrious nickname, connected on their first seven shots to pile up a lead Kansas State was never able to overcome. He used two fire-breathing forwards, McNeill and Corbin. McNatt bagged 13 points with his fellow sharpshooter one point behind.
In the second half, with the outcome of the game practically settled, the partisan crowd started cheering for Wesche to break the Conference individual scoring mark. The present record is held by a former K-Statter, Frank Groves, who was a 1972 champion and chalked up 154 points in 1387 to set the conference individual scoring record.
The heating problem is a simple one since the trailer is small and well-insulated. The room can be heated to two or three minutes, the boys claim.
and numerous electrical appliances.
Weekly living expenses for the wo boys are as follows: Food 3.50, electricity 25 cents, fuel oil 0 cents, and water 10 cents, making a total of $4.05.
Neither Don nor Loren claim the honor of "chief cook and bottle washer," but said they shared the honor. "I would much rather live here than in some of the rooms now occupied by K. U. students." Don said.
The boys plan a trip in their trailer to the World's Fair in San Francisco this summer. "We plan a trip and we will help share expenses," Leven said.
The boys live at Agra, Kan
The "profit-making trailer" is located at 1901 Louisiana. Just how long it will remain the boys did not disclose.

Four of the 20 University men who are receiving air training under the Civil Aeronautics Authority plan, took the air this afternoon as difficulties appeared to be smoothed out at the local airport.
Ground work has already begun at the University and with the beginning of flight classes today, the air school is at last on its way.
City officials announced late this afternoon that an agreement between Donald Ashcraft, of the municipal airport, and Maj. William B. Robertson, president of the Robertton Aircraft corporation, St. Louis, is in sight. Robertson was recently awarded the government contract to give flight training to the University students.
Robertson was in town today accompanied with his brother. The airport received a plane this morning from the St. Louis firm. Another plane is expected sometime this week to accommodate the fliers.
Under the system to be employed by Major Robertson, 10 students will receive instructions to one plane, two planes or six skirts six hours a week instruction.
Seven of the future aviators have paid $2 insurance. This gives $3,000 worth of life insurance protection and $500 of accident. No student is allowed in the air until he has paid his insurance.
