Legislators:
Our buildings need attention too
Not only are our faculty salaries unprecedentedly low, but many of our buildings need serious attention. The burden on the state has been lightened by the fact that 15 of our buildings have been gifts to the University, but a number of the others are in sad need of repair. A day by day listing of some of the more urgent needs will be presented in this column. We understand that the state's expenses are heavy, but we feel we are not unreasonable in asking for these things. We have gone without them for so long that a crisis is rapidly approaching.
NUMBER 109
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
As the dust and mould have gathered on the exhibits of Dyce museum, due to the sad condition of that building, so have they affected the books in Watson library.
Watson Library
There is a surplus of 44,000 volumes over the total shelving capacity on the campus. This means that these surplus books must be disposed of in various unsatisfactory ways. The director of the library has listed these ways as follows:
1. All unnecessary duplicates have been removed from the collection.
1. Books are placed on temporary shelves in public corridors, exposed to theft.
3. Books are turned on their edges to permit more shelves to the case.
4. Books are stored in the sub-basement, where they are deteriorating from damp and mould.
5. Books are stored in cartons in the attic and rendered unavailable to the public.
6. Books are shelved in staff toilet rooms.
And each year 9,000 additional books are added to the collection. Something must be done, and soon.
Further, prospective donors of books cannot be assured that their priceless collections will be accorded the treatment they should receive, and a University library must depend on such donors for its best collections.
Engineers Will Hold Banquet Thursday
The original building plans have made allowance for these needs. An extension of 70 feet to the west will give space for 420,000 additional volumes. The construction cost is estimated at $150,000, a small price to pay for the preservation of so valuable a collection.
The annual engineering banquet will be held Thursday evening at 6:30 in the Memorial Union building, Prof. F. A. Russell announced yesterday that the museum of the Phillips Petroleum company, will address the group
The faculty and all students in the School of Engineering and Architecture are invited to attend. Reservations are 60 cents each and must be secured from Professor Russell not later than Wednesday. "This is a man's banquet, we are not dressing," he said.
Two hundred and fifty engineers attended the banquet last year. It is expected that the attendance will surpass that of last year.

Piazzek Will Is Held Vali
Kansas Court Upholds Decision Giving Request to University
The supreme court of Kansas Saturday declared the will of Deferron P. Piazzek which includes a bequest to the University, valid, thus upholding the decision of the Johnson county district court.
At the time of his death, Piazzek's estate was valued at about $75,000. His will was contested by his sister, Edina P. Gilpin, on the grounds that Piazzek was mentally incapable of making a will. However, both courts held him capable of sound reasoning when he made the will
The bequest to the University provided for a trust from 208 acres of land and certain town property and mortgages which would be used as a fund with which to aid worthy young men desiring to enter the University. The amount of the bequest has not been determined yet.
This is the first of a series of senior certi刺 which will be help throughout the remainder of the series. It was taught by Wagner, fa 38 was the accompanist.
Another part of the will set aside $5,000 from which a trust was to care for two horses which the deceased had raised from colts. The group also managed incompatibility, pointing at a number of unusual bequests.

Mock Army Camps Deck K-State Campus
Funds For New Building Asked in Strange Strike
LAWRENCE. KANSAS, TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1937
Manhattan, March 8—(UIP) —Mischievous students of Kansas State College converted the campus into a sports league of the state government.
Camp fires gleamed between row of army pup tents as scores of students marched about in cowboy suits or nurses' uniforms, bearing wooden guns and placards deeming the legislature's failure to provide money for a new science building.
In the ruins of the old science building, destroyed by fire, other students were arrayed in warring camps over which floated banners reading "Governor's Tent" and "Legislators' Tent."
Strike
The reference was to the deadlock between Gov. Walter A. Huxman, Democrat, and his Republican legislature over from what sources would come the money for the new science building.
In "Ne Man's Land" between the camp there was a stuffed fox critter "Larden's Balanced Budget man the Vexo's vote." Hexn man the Vexo's vote.
Thirty of the students started the demonstration last night when they encamped in the science building wreckage and posted a sign asking the legislature to "Get our boys out of the trenches by April 1." They then would stay in the cute building the money for the new building was raised.
Every fifteen minutes since then one of the students has bugged "The Reveille" to wake up the legislators in Toneka.
The nurses offered stenographic assistance to all comers who wished to send petitions to the legislators.
Doctor Popenoe Gives Marriage Views in Talks
"More than one-fourth of the million marriages in the United States every year are unhappy," said Dr Paul Popene, noted biologist, psychologist, and author, yesterday Doctor Popene, who is secretary are general director of the Institute of Family Relations of Los Angeles gave three speeches on the campus yesterday on the problems of marriage and eugenics and the solution to these problems.
He spoke on "Progress of Eugenics" in Fraser theater at 4 p.m., advocating the reduction of children among the lower classes of the population. He also advocates stricter marriage laws. He believes that the genera trend in eugenics is downward "Birth control among the unit is necessary to maintain the balance of intelligent people." Doctor Poperova concluded.
The first step toward correction is to show the individual that he is infantile in his outlook, and after that the cure follows naturally. To encourage emotional immaturity are brought about by the effect of environment on personality
Continued on page 3
"It is a matter of common knowledge that people differ in physical maturity," said Doctor Popene, "and it is a matter of growing knowledge that people differ in experience. But further that there are successive stages of development through which a person must pass before he achieves the stability of adult emotion. Many persons become arrested in this development or skip certain phases of it, and then progress even to a problem for themselves and others."
'Judge Age by Hates'
"The hates of an individual are ex-
cellent factors by which to judge his
emotional age," said Doctor Poperope
in explaining infant behavior. "An in-
fant hates things—inanimate objects—and vents his spite on the objects that come his way. A good
friendship is found still re-
telling their anger on things of that sort."
Doctor Poperope then said that the
adult has gone ahead of that for his
hatred is directed toward conditions
and will fight to remove the cause or
his displeasure.
Emotional Maturity necessary "One of the main reasons for divorce is that the great number of adulterated adults admiral emotional life" said Doctor Popepe in his speech, "The Meaning of Emotional Maturity," given yesterday afternoon in room 298 of the Administration building.
Emotional Maturity Necessary
Soule Condemns Supreme Court In Analyzation
High Tribunal Does Not Act As Protection From Fascism, He Says
"To pack the court is really to unpack it," said George H. Soule, editor of the New Republic magazine for the last 12 years, in speak after a court session last evening in Frazer theater at the M.S.C.-W.G.A. forum.
"The supreme court as a protector against Fascism is one of the most preposterous ideas I have ever heard," exclaimed Solei. Speaking further on the same subject, he said, "I have little patience with those who oppose the President's proposal on the grounds that the court's opinion in this case could not be held." He cited the variance of opinion on the bench and among other eminent constitutional lawyers upon interpretations of the Constitution. "The decisions of the court do not necessarily indicate logic or conformance with former decisions, but, as Justice Stone has put it, the 'economic predilections of the individual justices.'" he said. Soule discussed the reasons behind the unanimous enforcement by saying, "The President undoubtedly has good reason for insisting on the revision first."
Elaborating, he said, "If the country is to have the legislation it needs in time of emergency, it is necessary that the court indicate when an application should if the age limit alone will liberalize the court. I believe that if the court is made more flexible by more frequent appointments, there is more reason to believe that the judge ought to be closer touch with the times."
Regarding individual liberty,
Soule said, "Freedom is an achievement that rests upon a purpose, upon discipline. No individual is free in any society. The free person is one who has a purpose, who integrates himself because the things he wants to do are integrated."
In defining liberty, Soule stated,
"Liberty is always different—always
meaning different things, always
conceiving a different set of spec-
ific conditions." He continued,
saying, "In speaking of liberty we
must ask the question, 'Liberty for
whom? What kind of liberty?'"
"It is not the necessities of economic planning which will entail political distrustship, but violent domestic upheaval or foreign war," was the answer which Sorea gave in this title question, "Sorra or Citazera?"
He refused to be bound by the definitions of liberty given by John Stuart Mill that liberty was individual freedom which did not con-
form with society's social hierarchy. He dismissed the theory of John Locke regarding the functional balance of governmental power, saying, "If we use methods to restrain liberty in order to gain
Speaking from his experience as special investigator for the Inter-Church Movement commission during the 1919 Pennsylvania riots, he said so a few of autocracy as I was then—and I have been in Russia."

The department of design is offering an unusual opportunity to students and townpeople to see an exhibit of handwrought silver by a Anevill Kirk, one of the foremost altersmiths in America.
The exhibit, which is the first of its kind to be brought to the University, will be shown in room 329 West Addison Drive on March 16. The present time through March 11.
Silver Display Exhibit
Mr. Kirk is a teacher of silver-smithing, jewelry, and enameling in Detroit. Coming from England in 1925, he designed and made all the altar silver for Christ Church in Detroit. He is considered by critics to be one of the finest silvermiths on our day.
Of the 50 pieces on exhibit, the most outstanding are a crucifix and an altar chalice. Many are elaborate, and others depend upon form and perfection of workmanship for their beauty.
Men's Pan-Hellenic Cup Requirements Revised
A resolution to make the requirements for the scholarship cup given by the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council more uniform was passed at a meeting of that body Sunday morning in room of the Memorial Union building.
A cup is given each year by this organization to the fraternity with the highest scholastic average. The resolution, as passed, reads that the grades of all men who have not received their A.B. degrees, regardless of the number of years in the organization, shall be included in the grade average turned in by the fraternity.
The grades of men who have their degrees and are taking graduate or professional work must all be included or completely omitted as the fraternity desires. The fine for infringement is not imposed from the Pan-Hellenic Council, and ineligibility to compete for the cup for that year.
The date for the Pan-Hellenic party was set for April 2.
Dr. R. I. Canuteau, director of the University Health service, spoke to the council on a food inspection project. He proposed the free examination of all food handlers in organized houses with the hope that if the fraternities and sororities would take the lead, unorganized houses would follow suit and eventually become through examinations of all food handlers in student-occupied houses. The council approved the proposition and it was referred to the individual organizations for chapter approval.
Kansas Camera Club Sponsors Exhibition
The K.U. Camera Club will sponsor an exhibition of 80 prize-winning photographs to be displayed in Spooner-Thayer museum. The prints will be on display from March 8 to March 17 inclusive.
Robert Taft, associate professor of physical chemistry and an authority on photography, has asserted that the student body was fortunate in having a group of photographers that have been selected as being some of the better work of photographers all over the world. He pointed out the fact that almost every civilized quantity on earth contributed its share to the collection.
Among the nations represented are Hungary, Egypt, United States, England, Germany, Canada, India, Austria, Czech Republic, Sweden, Italy, China, Jugoslavia and Barbina. The print which has been printed by the international competition conducted by the American Photographer, an American publication, were given honorable mention in the contest.
Each year, after the awarding a prizes in this contest, all prints receiving recognition are sent out over the world for just such purposes as the coming exhibition will serve here.
The general theme of the display will be of a conventional nature according to Taft. Instead of bizarre and freakish effects, there will be shown the more pleasant, yet dramatic type of picture.

The women will all face and deliver their dates, pay the 75-event admission price, do the cutting, and in general have a night when they can really enjoy themselves.
UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS SUBMIT TITLES FOR PAPERS
The board appointed three members, Ralph T. O'Neil, F.M. Harris, and Drew McLaughlin, as members of a committee to meet with three members of the athletic board in Lawrence sometime in the next week or ten days to make the final selection.
Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, professor of zoology; Dr. E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology; Claudie Hilbard, assistant curator of the paleontology museum and A. W.

Question to Be "Should College Athletes Be Subsidized?"
Kansas To Debate Texas
William Zaparec, c37, and Martin Maloney, c37, will debate a team from the University of Texas to tomorrow night at 8:15 in Fraser theater. Prof. E. C. Buehler, director of forensics, announced yesterday.
Maloney, president of Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary debating fraternity, and Zupana, last year's president of the same organization, will take the affirmative on the question: "Should college athletes be subsidized?" The two placed first and second, respectively in the junior-senior oratorical contest held here last week.
Gus Garcia, captain of the University of Texas debate squad, and John Stephen, who gained first place in extemporaneous speaking during the Missouri Valley forensic meet last year, will come to Kansas from the southern school to take the negative side of the question.
The debate, a no-decision content,
will contain the sort of speaking,
called the Oxford style, which is
intended to entertain the audience
from abroad. It flows from the rapid
fact-fiction tactics employed in pure
competition.
ITINERARY OF BAND TOUR IS ANNOUNCED BY WILEY
