Legislators Visit, Inspect University
Z-229
- Several Solons Report They See Need of New Buildings Here, But Offer No Promises
One hundred and twenty-two members of the state legislature made a tour of inspection of the University campus yesterday, conducted by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. The purpose of the tour was to acquaint the solons with the needs of the University.
The caravan of legislators and their families, 240 strong, arrived from Topeka at 2:15 p.m. in chartered buses and private cars. They were greeted by the Chancellor at the Memorial Union building, and proceeded from there on the tour of inspection. The guests paid visits to all University buildings, finishing with Marvin hall where they were addressed by Doctor Lindley.
Impressed With Need
The law-makers seemed impressed by the need of the proposed building program, although they believed it was as to what action should be taken.
Lieutenant Governor Carl Frienli expressed his viewpoint by saying, "I am sure that the members of the legislature are aware of the needs of the University in regard to the building program. However it is definitely too early to forecast any action. The action will help us." Lieutenant Governor has hope for an economical program, but that would not necessarily mean stringent reduction of expenditures where they are needed."
Impressed With Need
Impressions gained by questioning the visiting solens were varied Representative George Brewer Republican, from Topeka, remarked: "The most prestigious and immediate need that I missed was Dyne Museum of Natural History. It is a shame not to have such a valuable collection properly housed There is an obvious need for a water building." In regard to new astronomical collections to be given next semester, Brewer said: "The President's plan for teaching a qualified number of college students to fly seems to me to be a very good idea."
Warren Admits Needs
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JAN. 19, 1839
Senator Harry Warren, Democra Bourbon county, was rather reticent about expressing his views; he admitted the need for new buildings "The Medical school apparently doesn't know whether the state's finances will permit any extensive building programs is another question."
Representative Vernis George, Re publican, Ness county, "baby of" the House, thought that he, as the youngest member of the legislative

To those of us who spent our earlier years in the small public schools of Kansas—especially the rural variety—the visit of state legislators is reminiscent of a time when the County Superintendent's annual visit to classrooms was considered a great event. Although he attempted to surprise us, the teacher usually got wind of his coming and by the time he entered the door we were sitting "at attention."
The cleanest kid in the room was then appointed to hold the flag and we all saluted it. After that we sang the first and last verses of "America." Although the ceremony was one we indulged in every morning, I never ceased to get a spinal tingle out of it. But come to think of it, I never did, get to hold the flag.
Maybe Schiller Shore, among other things a historian, was kidding me yesterday, but he tells the following for the truth.

Refer Air School Offer To Regents
✩ Budget Committee Says
Course Adds Little Extra
Expense
The offer of the Civil Aeronautical authority to designate the University as one of 13 educational institutions to participate in the training of some 20,000 aviators within the next five years, has been considered by the University's budget committee, and referred to the Board of Regents for ruling as to the desirability of undertaking the
Reports to the budget committee showed that little added expense would be incurred by the University, and a research department work is already offered here.
More than 130 young men attended a preliminary meeting held by Prof. Earl D. Hay, head of the mechanical engineering department, to discuss probable scope of the project's eligibility requirements, and the like.
Only the largest universities have been asked to offer the flying courses, University authorities pointed out.
Evelyn Swarthout Praised by Critics
Dean and Mrs. D. S. Warthwout returned Tuesday from New York where they attended the recital of daughter, Evelyn, at Town Hall.
Reviewing the recital, a New York Times critic said, "Miss Swarthowitz plays with the comfortable relaxation of one who is teachically and musically sure, and this communicates itself to her entire artistic approach. She makes no effort to exaggerate for momentary effect and induce emotional suspense that so often pases for narrative musicaiship."
Among the former University students and people of Lawrence now living in or near New York who attended the recital were: Mary Louise Beltz, Kelts Davis, George Troville, Tom Ryan, Li LeVan Mary, Jane Bruce, Emily Preyer, Sanford Skilton, Felix Manley Lela Hemphill, Mr. and Mrs. Waldo G Bowman, Elizabeth Hill Hendren, Ruth Swarthout, and William Pilcher.
Will Reorganize I. S. A. Tonight
At Independents Will Meet
* At Union Building at 8
O'Clock To Elect 16 New
Officers
The executive body of the Independent Student Association will be completely reorganized at 8 o'clock tonight in the Memorial Union ballroom, when a new president and 16 council members are chosen in an open meeting of independent students.
When the riff occurred, Bill Vickers, c'40, was named by the council to become temporary chairman of the organization. The council state last night that it wuld lend full cooperation to the meeting of all independent students, which was called by Malone Monday night.
The problem of a constitution for the association will not be discussed at the meeting. Revision of the old constitution or the presentation of a new one will be left entirely in the hands of the new council.
"From the tremendous inters
shown in the past few days, indica-
tions are that more than five
hundred persons will attend the elec-
tive. Pewethwaite, c38
temporary chairman of the meet-
ing declared last night.
Neither Maloney nor Alexander will run for the presidency, but recent developments have indicated that candidates will be nominated in a plurality of rival factions, several of which have arisen since Monday night.
The 16 members of the new council will be divided equally among the eight schools of the University, one chosen to represent each school.
The meeting will be opened by Maloney and immediately turned over to Postlethwaite, who will conduct the election.
Necessity for reorganization of the executive division resulted from a recent deadlock between Susan Maloney, c38, president of the association, and other members of the council, led by Charles Alexander.
No one will be allowed to attend the meeting except independent students. This will exclude members of social fraternities and sororites and persons who are not now enrolled in the University. It is advisable for all persons to bring student identification books to present if votes are challenged, Post-lethwaite said.
State Officials Attend Kansas-Missouri Clash
Governor Patrean Ratner, Lieutenant-Governor Carl Fried, and Associate Justices Walter Thiele and Hugo Wedel were among state officials who attended the Kansas-Missouri basketball game.

The victory put a temporary damper on the Tigers' ambitious bid for first place in the Big Six race and once more gave the Kansas aggregation a "life" in its desperate fight to defend the league title. Missouri and Iowa both fought with two wins and one loss, with Nebraska and the Jayawhaws trailing in third place tie. **Tison Enters Game**

midway in the first half. He was taking the ball off both backboards and putting on a basket-shooting show that no one hit 14 points and knocked him out.
Kansas was in the lead 14 to 9 when Mr. Tison stolled onto the court and proceeded to take matters very much in his own hands. In the nine minutes he labored before the half he racked up seven counters to send his mates into a 19 to 16 lead. Howard Engleman, the sophomore star from Ark City, continued to pace the Jayhawk scoring parade as he tallied nine points. However, it was Bruce Voran's long swister from mid-court that started the local's belated drive that tipped the Bengals. With only six minutes go on and the Alamani killing out to overcome the Tiger margin the slick "bquarterback" who had replaced Bobhy Allen a short while before, arched one from the hinterland and found the netting and sent the home forces into a slug 30-29 lead.
Dick Harp Scores
Then Dick Harp, who had been replaced in the starting line-up by John Kline, put on the clincher as he potted a free throw and drove in hard for two set-ups as the clock rapidly ticked away.
John Lobbsger opened the scoring when he tossed in a free shot on Engleman's violation, but Don Eblings countered with a swisher from the side. Kline made it 3-1 on Harvey's foul, but the same Harvey duly repeated when he hit the hoop on a two hand jump to tie the score.
Blaine Currence, the Tiger center who was the fore-runner of Tison, hit his only field-goal of the game
