Young G.O.P Meets Here
State College Division Holds Convention in Union Building
Likewise a graduate student on CSEP does tutorial work in English composition and rhetoric for engineering students. This helps them keep pace with the classes and complete the required college work, which is not always been learned otherwise to hire private tutors at prohibitive costs.
A special convention of Collegiate Young Republican Clubs was held yesterday afternoon in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building. The meeting, the first of its kind in the state, was well attended by representatives from all of the old established clubs and several new ones.
Derive Definite Benefits
John Fonthen, state chairman of the clubs, gave a short talk in which he told of the rapid growth of Young Republican Clubs, especially in the collegiate group. He also gave advice and counsel. Two new clubs, Hutchinson Junior College and Fort Hays College, were given representation on the executive council.
CSEP Projects Help Many Students Pass Courses
Other students from the University who took part in the meeting were: Tony Immel, T38, Ray Tripp c39, Laurence Berner, c41, Quentin Brown, T38, Bertha White, c38, Catherine Veld, T38, Baldon, Elton Carter, c38.

Lincoln, May 21—(UP)—Big Six conference officials today approved a plan providing for appointment commissioner of football officials.
In endorsing the plan, the Big Six fell in line with the practice followed by the Pacific Coast Conference, and other sectional groups.
Results of tests show a definite benefit derived. Of the 22 freshmen who failed in a preliminary test, 16 passed and six failed the second
The faculty group tightened restrictions on summer baseball by ruling that any Big Six athlete who signs a contract with an amateur Ban Johnson or other diamond league will be declared ineligible for varsity competition. Athletes may continue to play amateur ball provided they obtain permission from their faculty representatives.
Since the establishment by the CSEP of a conference room for students, we have been able to double with mathematics assignments, few students now have an excuse for dropping algebra.
The schools represented were: Wichita University, Kansas State College, Baker University, Washburn College, Fort Hays College, Hutchinson Junior College, and the University.
Big Six Officials Set Up New Plan
By Muriel Mykland, c'39
Another valuable service of CSEP is this one of providing competent persons to help students when difficulties are encountered. The department of mathematics attests to the value of the service rendered by the two persons, a graduate and a student, for the work "Students often waste much time and accomplish little because of some one thing that is not understood," a faculty member stated. This conference work has operated to economize time for students in preparing their work for class and we believe that a concise course will be able by the help of CSEP workers to bring their work up to passing who would have failed."

Three blind students on the Hill are aided in their studying by six students provided them by CSEP as readers. The blind students are working and could not afford to pay someone to read to them, so permission was obtained from the state office of CSEP at Topeka to create a project to give them this necessary aid.
Lawrence city schools also benefit from CSEP projects which provide several students as helpers in different fields.
Preparing quizzes for all the classes in the school is one of the duties of the commercial teacher at the Lawrence Memorial High School. He is asked in this by a student on University CSEF who supervises students in doing the work of mimeographing and preparing outlines.
One girl at the Lawrence junior high has a tutorial project in which she teaches slow readers to speed up their pace, thus giving a service which will be of lasting benefit to the students throughout life.
Night school classes are also regular events for one woman on CSEP who is an assistant to the director

Reports of troop movements in Germany added to the alarm felt here, although Berlin described the movements as routine.

Fifty-five-Year-Old Journalism Building's Bulging Walls Need Razing
Rv Richard MacCann. c'40
Early last year a good deal of comment was caused by the appearance of the Journalism building of some intricate scaffolding. Explanation was that the mortar needed strengthening.
This item isn't significant in itself—for what building 55 years old wouldn't need a little retouching here and there? But this item, in conjunction with a number of others, points to a crying need for some better, more efficient setup or the Journalism building.
The University Daily Kanan is one of the outstanding college newspapers in the country. This is not bragging; it is merely stating an important fact. On the other hand, the reader will corroborate the statement that the Kanan is a part of the very same department. Its importance for a few weeks would cause no little disturbance.
Many Use Building
The department itself graduates a large group each year—men and women going out to join the world of newspaper.dm. There are a great many others who take advantage of the opportunity to learn about actual newspaper work, and of the place which newspapers and other

A thriving business, all in no-medding accommodation. The e press room, the bindery, the composing room—servants of the entire University all the time. No room for files; attempts to keep instructive files of newspapers are hopeless. No space for a reading room: a library is out of the question. Faculty offices are scattered about in all positions, and many find them the uninhibited require a road map and a dividing rod.
Is Fire Hazard
The building itself is shipshape. C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, declares that the aggregation of bulging walls and wobbly annexes is quite safe. The walls will be strengthened; the big crack on the south side is carefully watched; steel rods are strung across the news room so that, in the words of Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism, "the walls out and let the roof down on us."
And here is an important point: the place is an admitted fire hazard. Among the wooden partitions, the oily floors and the painted annexes, even a very small, underexposed brick could cause incalculable damage.

Clouds of Joy
Bring Not Rain
But Swing
They stood in the Memorial Union lounge at 9:30 last night begging Dance Manager Paul Kihm to sell Farewell Virtissy tickets for $1.50 a crack. But some of the 1,200 who jammed the ballroom to hear Andy Kirk were hanging out of the windows, so it was no deal.
The "Clubs of Joy" and the final dance party were a deal, however. Every fourth number was slow and sweet, but on the other three they just bumped and laughed — and sweat. At least fifty were standing around the bandstand on every number to watch Panist Mary Lou Williams and a red-hot drumman man beat out the swing.
After the Clouds of Joy signed off with their theme tune, everyone whohooped it up until Andy Kirk gave the word for "Jim Jams" as an encore. The music was the best of the year, the crowd the largest demonstration of the Men's Student Council, who could find no constitutional grounds for adding a 50-cent tax on their free tickets, were in attendance.
