Thoughts while cramming: The Kansan states that Ulrich Pohlenhz will come to the University next fall as German exchange student, hopes to study means of overcoming business depressions. He would make an excellent laboratory partner . . . Close observers are of the opinion that the railing around the Alpha Chi sum porch is inadequate. . . Robert Pearson, 21-year-old University ghost writer who penned himself into the money, and out of Phi Beta Kappa, never wrote a line before he was 5 years old, sources close to the retiring Jayhawker editor reported yesterday. Our hat is off. A political science professor W. A. Peterson, dissident American Government teacher at Wednesday, May 18, so that he could hold individual conferences with the students. . . Between Thursday, May 19, and Tuesday, May 24, he held nearly sixty 20-minute sessions, spending 20 hours in conference, when regular class periods would have consumed only four. . . A person who would flunk after that is just plain ungrateful. . . They tell us that the preface of the M.S.C. has slipped a little in the highly palatable maybe. . . Grace Valentine, Alpha Chi, is working out her bill at Brick's by sweeping out the dining room.

Committee To Conduct Survey
Athletic Board Group To Investigate Need for Larger Physical Education Plant
Under authority of the athletic board, Dr. W. W. Davis, chairman, Friday appointed a committee of three members to make a complete survey of the needs of the University for a plant to be used by its athletes, both in intercollegiate competition and in intramural sports. Those on the committee are: Dean Frank T. Stockton of the School of Business, Prof. J. O. Jones of the School of Engineering and Architecture and Laurence Woodruff, assistant professor of entomology.
The committee the same evening held an organization meeting, and outlined some of the objectives. Follow-up meetings were issued the following statement:
Washington. May 28 — (UP) The southern Democratic veteran leader of the Senate, Pat Harrison of Mississippi, disagreed with President Roosevelt in reviewing the new revenue act today in a dramatic context that threatened to cause further confusion in Democratic councils. Rise of the Democrats and Harrison took direct issue with the President's repudiation of tax modifications that were put into the new bill at Harrison's suggestion.
The break between the President and one of his proven Senate leaders foretold repercussion in party primaries and the November elections. A showdown was forecast in next January's congress.
The committee will limit itself entirely to fact-finding. It will study our existing plant for future use in order to discover the extent to which it is insufficient. It will consider what new plant we need, including a field house, are needed. Problems relating to special facilities, construction, location, and financing will be surveyed.
"We have no preconceived notions, nor are we expecting at this time to promote any one plan," said Dean Stockton. "We are an anxious to improve the physical facilities for sports at the University, and to fit our work into the general program of the administration."
"We shall want to consult with Mr. Henry, director of athletics, and Dr. Allen, chairman of the physical education department. We want to know what they have in mind for improving the plant, and we shall look at that. We also want what plants our neighboring institutions have.
CSEP STUDENTS
Final time reports are due at the CSEP office by noon of June.

The committee plans to con-

Western Kansas Largest Oil Reserve Of Nation
"Oil and Gas Resources of Western Kansas." (Mineral Resources Circular No. 10) has just been issued by the Kansas Geological Survey, and is being distributed from the Survey office at the University. Thirty counties west of the prime meridian are oil-producing countries in varying shifing shows the westward march of oil and gas development in Kansas.
"It has become evident that western Kansas contains one of the largest reserve areas for oil exploration in the United States," says the report.
"One of the largest gas fields in the world is located in southwestern Kansas, centering about Stevens County, southeast of Morton, Grant County," said squaw们.
The fact that potential oil production of oil in Kansas passed the mark of 3,000,000 barrels a day in 1937, while actual production is held at about 200,000 barrels a day indicates, the report says, that pipelines and market outlets have lower pace and develop more rapidly. The bulletin gives the following production of oil from the principal counties of western Kansas:

The flower plots located around the Campus are coming in for their share of attention also. They are being cleaned of all the weeds and other things that have accumulated. The ones rear Robinson gymnasium, Strong Hall and Rock, and torture are receiving most of the work.
The grass near Frank Strong hall, Watson library, Fowler shops and the Anatomy building has been cut and is being raked and hauled away in trucks. Weeds have been removed from the lawn near the Journalian building, the library, Fowler shops and the Anatomy building.
According to Mr. Bayles, the condition of the Campus is the best in five years and it should make a favorable impression on persons who come here for Commencement exercises.
