He is Bob Busby, Lawrence, a member of the J-W staff and Lawrence correspondent for the Associated Press. Bob prepare a companion article about his mother, a mighty swell job of it. At least he has the security of his anonymity, the absence of which sometimes bothers ye Shinsters.
POME
After all we have done for the Phi Pal's by doing our best to keep gossip about them out of the Shin, they are complaining. This time it is because we are giving the Sigma Chi' too much publicity. But don't you suppose that they are just jealous of the Sig Chi' for attracting the Theta' from Indiana to Tennessee street?
We understand that Jule Heimbrook was a bit irked about the identification, "my heart's in Hollywood," which we gave her Friday. We apologize, because we now realize that her heart is no longer in said city. Hereafter, she will be referred to as Jule "my heart's on its way back from Hollywood" Heimbrook.

Baker of Washburn Debates With John Ise
Prof. Don Baker of Washburn College and Prof. John Ise of the department of economics spoke before a large audience at the Unitarian church on the subject "Should We Approve the Roosevelt Law-Priming Program?" at a Lakes Town Hall meeting Sunday night.
Professor Ise supported the President's program while Professor Baker saw the present relief program as one calculated to undermine and destroy the essential functions of the program. The meeting was presided over by Verl Bratton, program director of WREN.
Seniors Are Joining
Alumni Association Is Succeeding in Drive for Membership
Response by seniors to the membership drive of the Alumni Association has been very gratifying, Fred Ewellworth, alumni secretary, announces. Some organizations have reported practically 100 per cent, while others report anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent, although percentage figures have not been checked accurately as yet.
Mr. Ellsworth wishes it made known to all seniors that duplication of the cards they sign agreeing to become members of the association will not make them liable for payment of alumni dues more than $10,000. Mr. Ellsworth says they sign a card for each organization to which they belong.
The number of seniors who so far have signed cards in the various organizations is as follows: Beta Theta P; 4, Corinbon肝, 16; Delta Tau Delta, 10; Jay James, 5; Phi Phi, 3; PiperLambda Lambda, 11; Pi Lambda Lambda, 12; Kappa Phi, 3; EAteneo, 6; Tau Sigma, 3; Sigma Chi 9.
The matter of membership has been put up to the members of the class individually. Arrangements have been made so that when senior dues are paid a receipt card which includes alumni dues, is obtainable. They can then pay the combined fee of $3.85 at one time.
The association would like to have complete and detailed figures from the various organizations to which it has sent or detailed solicitors.
Weatherman Sees Break in Rainfall
Kansas City, Mo., May 23—(UP)
The weather bureau tonight forecast a possible break in the rainfall which has fallen more or less continually. Milder than Southwest for the past three weeks and which threatened to damage bumper crops with floods and excessive moisture.
Wheat growers in the southeastern, parts of Kansas feared that the water which covers fields in many places would cause the grain to rot.
In Kansas thousands of acres of lowlands were under water and highways were blocked by overflowing rivers from the Marais des Cygnes river.
The rains extended west and
Kansas into eastern Colorado. Rain-
fall reported by Kansas points in-
cluded: Lawrence, 119; Garrett,
254; Dodge City, 202; Eureka, 277;
Hutchinson, 237.

For several reasons location of the school in a new building would be more satisfactory. One is that the noise from the practice rooms bother other classes in the present arrangement. It isn't the musicians' fault—they have to practice. But the combined effect of the vocalists, pianists, organists and other instrumentalists would have a disrupting influence on anyone's class, especially during weather when windows are open.
Seventy - two students were given tests Friday and Saturday. The total number of tests now given is 1.570.

The University of Kansas needs a fine arts building on two counts—both for the School of Fine Arts and classes housed in Frank Strong hall.

But the School of Fine Arts could use a building for its own sake, too. Such a building would contain well designed practice rooms. The little practice rooms students have to use now are about the worst thing possible in which to develop musicianship. They are so small and echo so badly that the smallest tone fills them to overloading, and with loud music they don't feel comfortable. The can't develop under conditions like that.

in a large auditorium his music is almost lost.
A more satisfactory studio for broadcasting would improve the school's KFKU recitals and programs. The band and orchestra sound much below par when they broadcast, because they often have to broadcast from the auditorium of Marvin hall, which was certainly not made for such a use, and echoes as badly as the little practice rooms. Hoch auditorium isn't much better, and it is more or less of an anomaly as far as acoustics are concerned than dead spots, and other spots where a speaker's voice fairly booms forth. There are some places where all a person can hear is the tympani, and others where they can't be heard at all. The lack of a sound

Regent Urges Building Plan
A Long-Term Building Program Is Advocated By C. M. Harger
A 10-year building plan for the state colleges of Kansas was proposed by C. M. Harger, chairman of the Board of Regents in an address before the Alumni Association Hays State College yesterday.
"For 10 years Kansas has had a building moratorium," Mr. Harger said. "The only new structures built by the state on the campuses have been the science building at Manhattan, replacing one destroyed by fire, and the new buildings at the University of Kansas hospitals. These later were largely financed from federal funds. The federal funds. The university has had a hospital and dormitory both contributed by Mrs. J. B. Watkins. Repairs to Dyche museum were necessary to prevent its collapse.
"In the meanwhile the enrollment of the colleges has increased more than 2,000 and is the largest in the state's history. Many buildings are needed to care for the student body and to give a rounded equipment. Instead of a scramble when buildings are proposed, each of the five schools demanding recognition, if the state would appropriate, say $200,000 a year—at least a definite sum—placed in the hands of students in compliance with the needs of the institutions and allow it to build where and when the need was greatest, Kansas could obtain an equipment that would be an honor to the state and eventually complete its system.
"A systematic plan, extending over ten years and taking into consideration the artistic demands of the various campuses, would be sound policy. The University, Kansas State College, and Emporia College are 75 years old, many of the buildings need remodeling. But no general building program undertaken in one biennium is feasible. A 10-year building plan, with money available promptly to match federal grants, if any are given, would be a sensible system."
Doan's Article Appears In French Publication
Edward N. Doan, assistant professor of journalism, received a copy yesterday of "Cathers de la Presse" (Notes on the Press), a publication of the University of Paris, in which he has written a long article on the War in Vietnam and the United States." The publication is a quarterly of 160 large pages.
Professor Doom's article was translated into French for use in the publication which is printed entirely in French.

Athletic Board Surveys Need For Fieldhouse
Authorizes Prof. W. W.
Davis To Appoint Committee
To Study Possibilities
The University of Kansas athletic board, at its meeting last evening, took initial steps toward obtaining more adequate facilities for sports, both intercollegiate and intramural. Prof. W. W. Davis, chairman of the team was authorized to appoint a committee of three to study the need, and possibilities of obtaining a field house, and more adequate gymnasium facilities. Professor Davis said last night he would make the appointment within a few days.
Gym Out of Date
The matter of a field house and other similar improvements has been in the mind of Director of Athletics Gwinn Henry for some time, Professor Davis said, adding that the physical education department under Dr. F. C. Allen also had been studying gymnasium facilities.
"The address of Chairman Harger of the Board of Regents, at Hays today, brought the matter to the fore, and the athletic board decided to take immediate steps to formulate plans to be relied upon in the possibility of getting these needed facilities," said Professor Davis.
"Kansas has the best basketball in the Valley, and the fewest seats for spectators; we have no place for the football men to practice out of the weather; no place for indoor track meets and only makeshift place for the track men to practice; no armory for the R.O.T.C.
"The University gymnasium is out of date and just about big enough for the women of the University if it were remodeled.
Consider "K" Regulations
"When we were having our Big Six meeting in Lincoln last week we had some of our meetings in the beautiful new student union building. Forty-five per cent of the cost of that building was borne by the federal government; perhaps some government money could be obtained for a field house for the University."
Professor Davis, in addition to being chairman of the athletic board, charged primarily with direction of intercollegiate competition, is chairman also of the University Senate Committee on Athletics and Recreation. The senate recently directed this committee to make a study of he whole athletic set-up, including intramurals.
Other matters coming before the athletic board included approval of coaches' recommendations for varsity letters in track, baseball, golf, basketball and volleyball. Of next year's budget in which baseball is still safely included.
Director Henry reported progress on the proposal of the "K" Club for setting up of new and tighter standards for the awarding of letters in football, basketball, track, and golf from letters for the other sports.
The letters approved were as follows:
Robert Buser, Morton Jones,
Raynond Watson, Jack Nessley,
William Udell.
Outstanding Forums Set For Commencement Week
Three outstanding forums are being offered as part of the program of events during Commencement week at the University this year.
Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the School of Engineering and Architecture will lead the discussion Saturday afternoon, June 4, at 3 o'clock, in Fraser hall, under the title, "Power—More Power." This talk covers the important field of government dams with their power plants, and goes into the social and economic effects of their development.
Sunday afternoon, June 5, Chester Woodward, alumni president, will present his color movie, "Adventure in Africa." It is the film taken this spring while he and Mrs. Woodward were in Africa.
After the annu! University lunch- on Monday, June 6, F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, will lead the forum in Fraser hall under the title, "Our Disordered World-- Why? and Whither?" His discussion should prove interesting, as he is recognized as one of the best-informed men in the state of Kansas on European affairs.
