Kansas Solons Approve School Appropriations
Republican Majority Pass Bill Over Protest Of Minority Leaders
The Kansas house yesterday ap proved the appropriations bill fo state educational institutions recommended by the senate ways and means committee.
Approval of the bill was forced by the Republican majority over the protests of Minority Floor Leader Dubbs that disregarding the recommendation of the state budget director was a violation of every principle of budgetary government.
Half of the $100,000 needed for the connecting corridor at the University of Kansas hospital and $250,000 of the $400,000 needed for the physics science building at Kansas State College were included in the totals.
The bill contains a provision for the completion of the hospital corridor by 1938 and the Kansas State College science building by 1939.
Governor Huxman previously vetoed these provisions out of a senate appropriations bill.

One of the better known professors in the School of Business was commending to an economists class on the over-population situation. He remarked that Russia had the best method for taking care of the situation in her country, simply by going out and cutting off the people's heads. And he noted that States hadn't perfected any method as yet, but that they needn't worry too much because the "jeep" would probably take care of the situation.
Several of the Phi Gams were going to the city the other night to hear Fri Waring, and Aim Hubbard of the Pi Phi house was to be included in the party. she was called for at 7:30, but was not ready to leave until 8:45. The second performance it was too late for Waring's performance, all because of Hubbard!
Elmer Humphrey, who continues to spend his afternoons playing conscientious smoker, is reported as consistently losing, which generally results in the poor cue's being banged by the hummingbird. Yesterday his tactics were indeed reversed (except for the cue's going to the floor) because he had a partner who made a winning shot—Humphrey threw the cue to the floor, embraced Tom Martin, the partner, and moved to Mr. Martin right on the cheek.
It's being done, but seldom two in the same fraternity. The reference is to Lucille Bottom, Kappa who recently had her first date of the evening, Jack Richardson, take her home at 9:45 so that she could have her second date of the evening with the second Sigma Chi, Swell Black
Last Thursday evening the Gamma Phi's rallied round to listen to a lecture on health—it came time for questions and two of the more attentive listeners reacted-Virginia Taylor "I'm going to have a tooth pulled to morrow and I'm going to take gas, do you support it will hurt?" Maxine much to the surprise it hurt your ears so it said that the lecturer was rather stumped when asked such vital questions.

Speakers Honor Dr.W.L.Burdick At Law Banquet
Dean Will Retire After Thirty-Nine Years As University Professor
In a tribute to Dr. W. L. Burdick, 39 years professor of law at the University, Governor Walter A. Huxman, Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and four men prominent in the legal profession in Kansas spoke to a dinner meeting in the Hotel Eldridge last night.
The guest speakers, in addition to Governor Hoxman and Chancellor Lindley, were Judge R. A. Burch, dean of the Washburn School of Law; the Hon. Hugo T. Wedell, of the Kansas supreme court; the Hon. John S. Dawson, Chief Justice of the Kansas supreme court; and Henry Butler, 173, justice of the Green chapter of Phi Alpha Delta.
Present were approximately one hundred members and alumni of the Green and Benson chapters of Phi Alpha Delta and luminaries of the State Bar Association. The Student Honor in honor of Doctor Burdick by the Green chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, national legal fraternity.
Governor Huxman Speaks.
Congratulatory messages were received from the Hon. Charles E. Hughes, Chief Justice of the United States; Dr. Adair, lieutenant-governor of Montana; Gov Teller Ammons of Colorado; Frederick J. Moreau and Thomas Atkinson, former professors of the School of Law, and many former students and friends.
Governor Huxman, the principal speaker of the evening, paid tribute to Doctor Burdick with the statement, "Doctor Burdick has been a friend of humanity. He has always insisted on thoroughness and at- titude of duty at hand. He has left an indelible mark on this school and this state."
Is Patriotic in Renly
Doctor Burdick, inReply to these considerations, said, "As long as I live, I hope to do everything I can for the people and the state." He insisted that his seventy-seventh birthday does not mark an end to his active service, for "It is not how old we are in years, but how old we are in thought and purpose that counts."
Governor Huxman showed his appreciation for the honorary initiation service rendered him yesterday afternoon by Phi Alpha Delta, at which service he saw 18 pledges become members.
The dean also expressed several goals for which young lawyers should strive.
The new initiates are Quentin Brown, Dave Conderman, Fred Woleslagel, Elmer Goering, Howard Immel, William Karnazes, John Murray, Herbert Sizmore, Darrel Cynie, Vynae Dr. Jr., George Wheeler, Christopher Bill House, Loyal Miles, Joseph Sheedy, Preston Anderson, Oscar Belin, and Ward Erwin, all 173; and Lloyd Virun, Punct.
Remarkable and commendable, but not startling, has been the co-operation of the two Hill political parties in making possible several radical changes in the system of men's student government.—Remarkable and commendable because both parties have felt simultaneously and equally strongly that student government needs to be put on a better basis and because they have been willing to act co-operatively on the issues.—Not startling because men's student government very definitely needs to be revamped, and if it's not revamped now, it'll have to be very shortly.
The Geological Survey, authorized by the legislature of 1889, was organized and put into operation by Professors Erasmus Haworth and S. W. Williston of the University faculty in 1805. The legislative act of 1809 specified that the survey should be an activity of the University of Kansas, and that the state geologist must be a member of the faculty of the department of geology of the University.
The survey is instructed "to make a geological survey of the state, paying particular attention to the mineral deposits, and to publish reports on these investigations from time to time."
There seems little reason to believe that the revision of men's government as suggested will not within a day or two be finally accepted by both parties. Its passage through the Council is only a procedural measure.
Remarkable and Commendable
Lazeir's Inc. of Kansas City, Mo., R. F. Marken of Little Rock Ark., had asked for removal of the building on grounds of adverse citizenship.
Insurance companies named as defendants have asked for a mandatory judgment releasing them from liability to passengers, as the injured were to be freed from freight. The decision of the Topека court is now pending.
NUMBER 119
Were it not for the services of a little-known state organization, citizens of Kansas might be relatively poorer in material wealth, might be drinking polluted water, might be paying higher taxes and gas rates, and might be ignorant of the beauty of their state. This seemingly miracle-performing body is the Kansas State Geological Survey. Although it assists the mineral industry in the same way that the State Board of Agriculture assists the agricultural industry, its services are not as well known by the people of the state.

Thursday morning, Professor Blocker will represent the University at a roundtable discussion on "Conditions and Problems of Accounting Education and Practice in Kansas." Thursday afternoon he will deliver a paper on "Budgeting u Accounting in Government's,"
Defendants in the damage suit resulting from the motor car and truck accident in which Robert W. Robb and Hermina Frick, students, were charged for 29 won a plea for removal of the case to federal court yesterday.
In the Kansan's opinion all that can be asked more is a shortened campaign period which would heighten interest in politics and make inelegibilities and low grades for office contenders less of a possibility.
State Geological Survey Has Done Much To Develop State Resources

Jones to Speak on Photos
By Donald Ames, e'37
During the 41 years of its existence, the Kansas State Geological Survey has published numerous maps and pamphlets on a wide variety of subjects. The majority of the publications are concerned with a single mineral resource, such as coal, oil gas, lead, zinc, mineral waters, volcanic ash, and gypsum. Other reports cover the geology of individual counties. Recent publications include a profusely illustrated booklet, "Scenic Kansas," which describes unusual scenic spots throughout the state.
In 1928 the survey published a bulletin explaining the oil and gas possibilities of western Kansas, which at that time were almost entirely undeveloped. Subsequent to the publication of these reports, about ten new pools were discovered in the area. A large share of the drilling areas in this region are located in the wells, were based directly upon the survey's report.
The greatest practical result of the publication is, naturally, the aid and impetus it gives to the exploration for new mineral supplies. In addition, we have learned the knowledge of their state through the reports of the Geological Survey.
The Kansas State Geological Survey is the only state organization en-

P. S.G.L. accepted the plan for reorganization of men's student government in a meeting Sunday night. The Pachacamacs referred it to a committee of seven inner-circle members for further deliberation, and the report of that committee will be submitted to the party as a whole at a meeting tonight.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, has added additional lines to the stage of the building, which will facilitate the shifting of scenery.

New London Disaster Caused By Natural Gas
New London, Texas, March 22 — (UP) Cause of the New London disaster was designated as a tremendous cloud of natural gas in the high school's basement tonight as inspectors located another Texas school which may be turning into a similar monster bomb.
School work was suspended in nearby Carliel, Texas, as a military board of inquiry seeking the cause of the blast that killed 426 in New London high school, ended its work proclaimed the end of martial arts.
At the moment the board of inquiry questioned its final witness agents for the Texas Fire Insurance commission discovered that 720 cubic feet of natural gas are escaping under the high school at Carlihel.
If properly confined and detonated, the volume of the gas escaping could cause a blast similar to the one that destroyed New London school in the greatest disaster of its kind in American history.
Carlisle officials immediately suspended work while experts began a check of equipment to locate the leak.
CONFEDERATE DAUGHTERS TO AWARD BARUCH PRIZE

Membership Reduced to 17
changes and that it will be ready for action by the Men's Student Council immediately after Easter vacation.
The plan, which will reduce the Council membership to 17, divide the University into four proportional representation districts, establish a "responsible presidency" form of government, and make many by both parties, is the result of a move by both parties that needed reform in new government.
Tony Immel J38, chairman of P.S. G.L., in a statement announcing his party's acceptance, outlined the advantages of the plan as follows:
(1) The best men of both parties will always be in the service of student government, since every man who aspires to the Council runs in a proportional representation district. (2) The president will automatically be of the majority party. (3) Since the election of the president depends upon the winning of a majority of the Council seats, greater attention will be given to the whole ticket, with a resultant rise in its average councilman. (4) The Council will be reduced to a workable size. (5) The system of districting is flexible and can be altered by a commission as changing needs warrant. The system will not be frozen fast by constitutional requirements.
Co-operate to Draft Plan
It must be clearly understood that credit for this plan belongs equally to both parties. Men of each party worked on tentative drafts. Mr. Mukherjee instrumental in securing its acceptance. This co-operation marks a long step forward in student government.
(Signed) TONY IMMEL
William Gould, 73, president of Pachacamac, could not be reached for a statement last night, but he had previously approved the plan and submitted it to his party for approval. Mr. Gould said that Pachacamac approved the plan in principle, and that the minor difficulties could be ironed out to clear the plan through the Council.
