Freddie Harris, four years a football player and three a student, has bops of walking in the line this weekend. After seven years of college work, Freddie believes that he is entitled to the sheepkin.
With 80 hours and 15 grade points Freddie played student, and he hopes to graduate with the required number of grade points without taking any extra hours. More power to you, Freddie, and here's hoping you don't fall one point shy.
Freddie's best performance was the first semester he was enrolled in the University. When he dropped out shortly after Christmas weaves, Freddie's parents knew his hours of flunk and "D" "What he was passing Rhetoric zero.

Recognition Comes At Last to Veteran Student-Athlete
J. Frederick Harris probably will receive two (2) diplomas this commencement after four years of college football and three additional years of scholastic endeavor. (See Shin).
Just in case the administration withholds the presentation of its award, Mr. Frederick Schiller Shore, warden, binderman, and etc. has finished hand-engraving and scroll-writing on a gold seal four inches in diameter.
Mr. Harris will display his prize award today, tomorrow and the next day on the east steps of the journal building, where he has been sitting for the past two years.
Ross Loses To Armstrong
New York, May 31—Forcing a driving pace all the way, Henry Armstrong won a 15-round decision tonight in Madison Square Garden bowl to lift Barney Ross' witter-weight title.
The challenger carried the fight to Ross with a steady two-hand attack that kept his rival constantly covering, but was unable to deliver
In the end it was only Barneys' courage that kept him in the ring. Armstrong lashed out with damaging punches from the first round and maintained a spirted offensive pace throughout. So apparent was Armstrong's superiority that the result came in doots from the seventh round.
A tired, beaten champion, Ross smiled wearily when the final bell sounded and moved slowly to his corner, consolled only with having maintained his record of never having been knocked out.
Ross, weighing in at 140 pounds— eight pounds heavier than his challenger—ruled a 7-5 betting choice at fight time.

Inadequate Shelf Space Hampers Campus Libraries
By Dorothea Weingartner, c58
By Dorothea Weingartner, c.25
Did you ever see graduate students crawling down out of the dusty attic or climbing up from the mute recesses of the basement of a building? Did you ever very dignified, does it? But it has to be, at least until someone provides more shelving facilities.
6. Watson library cannot relieve the crowded conditions in the branch libraries. Were there adequate shelf space the older material could be removed back to the main library.
The last biennial report—1936 of Charles M. Baker, director of libraries, reported total shelving capacity of the University Campus—including the seven branch libraries to be 233,000 volumes. The number of books on the Campus at that time was about 4,900,000 volumes are being added, each year, about 9,000 more books.
1. They are placed on temporary shelves in public corridors, exposed to theft.
Mr. Baker indicates that surplus books are cared for in the most inadequate of ways:
4. They are stored in cartons in the attic and rendered unavailable to the public.
5. Practically all the seldom-used bocks have already been removed from the stacks.
1. As over 38,000 volumes are shelved out of their regular order from subbasement to attic, the ser-
vice to the public is slowing up each year.
2. They are turned on their edges to basement, where they are deteriorating from damp and mould.
2. This dislocation of books makes it much more difficult for graduate students to carry on their research.
3. The students are needed to mould, multitask, and theft.
They are turned on their edges to permit more shelves to the case.
Evanston, III., May 31. Northwestern's track hopes for next year rose high last week following the announcement that the Purple freshmen whipped Iowa and Illinois in telegraphic dual meets. The Thinlies beat Iowa, 89-37, while Illinois was downed, $67\frac{1}{2} - 50\frac{1}{2}$.
4. When a new set is bought much shifting must be done to make space or some older set sent to the attic.
Rolla Nuckels, instructor in speech and dramatic art, has been awarded a scholarship at Northwestern University for the summer. He will work toward his master's degree there, after making a trip to New York to view some of the current season's stare hits.
The overrowding of books has resulted in deplorable waste of time and material, says Mr. Baker. He lists the following bad results:
5. They are shelved in staff toilet rooms.
Clarence D. Pykstra, president of the University of Wisconsin, and Bishop E. L. Waldorf, who will deliver Commencement and Baccalaureate addresses at the University of Kansas annual Commencement program
6. All unnecessary duplicates have been removed from the collection.
7. In its present crowded condition it is impossible for the library to attract the gifts or bequests of

NUMBER 162
the valuable collections of books that now exist in this area. It is impossible to promise any prospective donor that his gift will be given even decent, not to say dignified treatment.
3. The library's book appropriation should be increased to bring the University's collection in line with those of other universities in the region until there is assurance that the books can be made available.
Mr. Baker states that some $150,000 would be necessary to remedy the overcrowded condition. The State architecture, in 1932, approved the rough plan for an extension of Vickman library to feet west in area of the library's existing plans. The $150,000 would include steel stocks for some 210,000 volumes with space for the addition of again as many stacks later.
Where is there a more crying need on our University of Kansas Campus?
Receiving a master's degree at the age of 18 is a record in itself, but only one of several credited to this youthful Negro whose educational career measures only 15 years from the first trade to this degree.

Negro Youth, 18 Years Old To Receive Master's Degree
With a vote of 2,861 to 2,600 the students supported the members of the undergraduate board of control responsible for Davis' removal.
The part of the Cardinal staff which believes that Davis was ousted because of racial prejudice on the part of a fraternity-sorority dominated board went on a strike and with contributions from sympathizers published 23 issues of a paper in opposition to that group.

The election vote returned to office four board members who voted against confirmation of Davis as editor before he could edit a single issue, making it highly improbable that he will be reinstated.

A student of economics, McLaurin has devoted part of his time at the University to preparing a thesis on "Chain Store Taxation," which he humorously terms an "historical analytical and excognitive exercitation of multiple-unit taxation in its various aspects and ramifications, with an absolute exigency of exculpatory voicerations."
As can be seen, he possesses a keen sense of humor, and one which has not been warped by his educational career; for he believes that the best way to learn is to fun." His answer of Rosenvelt's pump-priming tactics, he replied, "You can't prime a pump when the well's gone dry; what this country needs is more concern about the people around you, what about what's surrounding Poneys?"
He modestly does not consider his being the youngest candidate for the master's degree in KU. history as being unusual, but attributes it to "an early start and a good opportunity" to be an advantage." He is affiliated with the local chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha social fraternity.
