Money---- We need mortar fix the place.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
The building program at the University has been inadequate for years. Many of the buildings on the campus need additions, remodeling, or replacement. The journalism department, for one example, is housed in a building badly unsuited to its needs. All that stands between the walls and collapse, literally, is two large steel rods which run the width of the building. Masons have recently filled with mortar the chinks through which the bitter cold wind whistled during the ever-memorable winter of '64-67.
But mortar in the chinks is not enough. Last winter the snow sifted through the ill-fitting windows and lay in the rooms in beautiful white drifts—lovely but quite cold. I shall never forget the day I came to an 8:30 to find my dearest professor, huddled over his rollbook (stout fellow), frozen stiff and stark. No, mortar in the chinks is not enough.
Seriously, fellows, just come in and look around. The Journalism building is a firetrap, and the classrooms are hardly recognizable as such. I should go on but my fingers are getting quite numb and blue. Mortar in the chinks . . . is not . . . enough . . .
The committee to make plans for the 1937 commencement program met yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in room 2 of the Administration building.

Hollywood Celebrities To Pick Beauty Queen
James Coleman, editor of the Jayhawker magazine, announced yesterday that the judges for the University beauty queen contest will consist of three Hollywood celebrities. Fifteen women have been chosen from more than a hundred as qualifying for the contest.

United Fronters Anxiously Await Student Actor
Peace Action Group and Y.W.C.A. To Consider Constitution Soon
Since the Y.M.C.A. and the American Student Union have approved the "United Front" movement its leaders are anxiously waiting until the Y.W.C.A. the Peace Action committee take action on the proposed constitution of what is now called "The Council for Social As-
A committee of three, appointed by Martha Peterson, c37, at Sunday's Y.W.C.A. meeting, will draw up changes in the constitution. While the Y.W.C.A. is in high favor of the arms and ideas of the council, it refuses to approve several details of the constitution as it now stands. The women believe that the committee will make its report at today's regular meeting of the Y.W.C.A.
Moritz asserted yesterday that the Council will begin work if and when the two dissenting groups approve the constitution. Just when the two factions may reach some agreement, Moritz reduced to venture.
TABLES APPROVED NEED
The Peace Action committee has not yet as well considered the constitution. Meet the committee, c29, the Peace Action group will approve or disapprove the constitution Monday.
Pacifists' Approval Needed
The constitution which is causing all the trouble is divided into four general parts: Peace Action, Civil Rights, Social Security and Law. Both camp and national problems are included under these divisions.
NUMBER 111
Features Peace Platform
One of the main points in the constitution is the peace platform. The document provides for: (1) a nationalism, and (2) nationwide abolition of the IRO TC; (3) limitation of armaments by the United States Government; and (4) defeat of the War department's mobilization and conscription.
The section on Civil Rights has been motivated by our Campus problems. Its main points are:
(a) abolition of race discrimination and segregation; (b) better conditions for working students; (c) protection of academic freedom for professors and students.
The council also advocates the reform and extension of the N.Y.A. the establishment of general social insurance systems, and the "defeat of all Fascist tendencies in all areas of life."
Any changes made in the constitution by any organization must be finally approved by all the groups.
The constitution stresses a great need for a consulting psychiatrist here at the University.

Aggies Agitate
Students Demand Money For New Building
Manhattan, March 10. — (UP) Kansas State College students asked a statistical demonstration for a new science building today and "hurried" three chances for the structure in the mock graveside.
"Flanders field" was the name given to the cemetery. The one gravestone marked the 1935 legislature, another in the cemetery and the third governor Walter A. Huxman's grave.
The two sessions of the legislature failed to appropriate funds for the new building which would replace one burned in August, 1934. Governor Huxman vetoed an appropriation this year.
The students said they would continue their demonstrations until the legislature approved an appropriation.

In conclusion, "Phog" thanked the Jay James for what has been done to foster school spirit and arouse the team to greater efforts.
D. J. Willecus, c 29, spoke briefly concerning what the Jay James can do in the future to improve their organization by following Doctor Allen's advice concerning organization.

Speakers To Answer High Court Question
Four Persons Will Give Their Viewpoints Of Plan
Four speakers will present answers to the question, "What Shall We Do With the Supreme Court?", on the fourth panel to be sponsored by the free speech group of the M.S.C. W.S.G.A. forums board, this evening at 8 o'clock in the Memorial Union ballroom.
Paul Moritz, c/39, co-chairman of the Rocky Mountain Student Christian Movement, World Student Christian Movement and Westminster Student Forum will favor Roosevelt's proposal as an expediency but believes that there should be a fundamental change in our national discourse through a constitutional amendment.
Hugh Means, judge of the fourth Kansas district court, and John Chandler, c37, editor of last year's Jawhacker, will uphold essentially the same case in the court, opposing any change at present. Judge Means says, "I doubt the constitutionality of the President's proposal," and Chandler says, "I do not believe there is any necessity for him to be acquitted or not along any of the lines proposed."
H. Lee Jones, pastor of the Umatian Church, will support without qualification the proposal of Rosevelt for court revision. He declares, "To advocate a constitutional amendment is merely throwing a smoke screen over the President's proposal. We are at present facing an emergency; this change can take place within the Constitution."
Each speaker has been allotted 10 minutes, following which the floor will be opened to audience discussion. Drawings to determine the order of speaking will be made this morning immediately before the feum.
Jim Piercey, c38, member of the American Student Union which is sponsoring the panel in conjunction with free speech division, will provide
Dean William Burdick Speaks to Wichita Bar
"Courts that are accountable to a single personage are no longer courts, only the puppets of a master." William L. Burdick, dean of Yale Law School, wrote in his address, before the Wichita Bar association in Wichita.
According to the Wichita Eagle, which carried a cut of Dean Burdick among a group of distinguished guests in addition to the news story, the dean's remarks were confined to the courts of Russia Germany, and Italy, in which countries dictatorships prevail.
John S. Dawson, chief justice of the Kansas supreme court, backed Dem Burdick's remarks in a short speech Wednesday. Justice Thiele of the supreme court, was included in a list of distinguished visitors. Judge Dawson was the guest speaker of the law convocation he two weeks ago.
The import of his speech was that disastrous effects upon the governments of other countries would result if the same "seeds of evil" were implanted there. He emphatically insisted that the judiciary in a country must be left untransected and independent if liberty were to survive.
Paul J. Wall was elected president of the association to succeed the late Harry Hart.
Debaters Drop Into Repartee And Adroit Puns
No-Decision Contest Full Of Clever Stories And Personal Panning
The question of pay for college athletes was dampened by more or less irrelevant repatriate, obscured by a fog of pigs, and finally dissolved in a flood of personal epithet, when the debate teams of the University and University of Texas were questioned about how to argue the question, "Resolved: That we should subsidize our college athletes."
Martin Maloney, c37, and William Zopacek, c37, members of the Kansas team, which uplift the affirmative side, supported their constituents by arguing for a greater and humorous anecdotes in the best tradition of Oxford type of debate, which allows great informality and provides for no decision; and their southern opponents replied in kind sucteriously and in greater volume.
'Team Affects Appropriations'
Said Maleney, opening the debate and defining the question according to his own words, 'I consider present day football players, and to a lesser extent basketball players, as subjects for the discussion. When you speak of modern big time college athletes in the 1960s, it was a $18 bill, you are speaking of the ridiculous.' He emphasized the fact that they are indispensable, both from the standpoint of gate receipts and the public responsibility for enrollment. "Even legislative approvals need to be handled when a state institution has winning team," he declared.
'Abolish or Legalize'
Zupancar, who continued his colleague's argument, pointed out that it was necessary, either to abolish the "whole racket of the modern athletic system, with its underhand subalzation and consequent tramp athletes, or turn it into a legitimate paying business."
John Stephens and Gus Garcia, of Texas, contended in their few serious moments, that the present system was entirely adequate, and that open subsidization would only increase the present evils. "Besides, where would you get the money to buy college?" Stephens said. "As it is, private interests take care of that end of it. Why rob the athletic fund, or other school treasury, to do what is already being done efficiently with private capital?"
on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris
For some time Marianna Bantleon has been trying to get a job at the Jayhawk office so she was finally given the position of junior. Scrap of paper and the willing worker would have something to do—yesterday when the time came to sweep out, Editor Coleman bet Bantleon 50 cents she couldn't put the broom, with her nose from the door of the Jayhawk office. The willing worker of the Union building, Bantleon took the bet and amd cheerers and handclapping assumed the position and began the nose sweeping. Progress was slowed considerably due to several sprave faces. She pushed the broom through a pile of dirt which had collected under a floor mat. However, she won the bet and Editor Coleman decided it was worth a dollar instead of 50 cents; but even then, she lost on the deal. She walked down the dress to say nothing of the treatment which her hands will probably require. One consolation, Union manager Bill Cochrane is contemplating making a slight donation to her for sweeping the hall.
John Paul, varsity dance manager, lacked taxi fare to the Junior Prom last Friday night so he called the Lawrence police, giving them a ride for 20 tickets and wanted an escort to the Union building. He got the ride, but had quite a little difficulty in hunting up something
