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.
Watson Library
As the dust and mould have gathered on the exhibits of Dyche museum, due to the sad condition of that building, so have they affected the books in Watson library.
1. Books are placed on temporary shelves in public corridors, exposed to theft.
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.
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.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
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.
NUMBER 109
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.
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.
Engineers Will Hold Banquet Thursday

Kansas Court Upholds Decision Giving Bequest to University
The supreme court of Kansas Saturday declared the will of Deforest P. Piazzek which includes a bequest to the University; valid, thus upholding the decision of the University. At the time of his death, Piazzek's estate was valued at about $73,000. His will was contested by his sister, Edna P. Gilpin, on the grounds that Piazzek was mentally incapable of making a will. However, both courts had him capable of making a 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 as yet.

Baseball Team Begins Training For First Game
Seventy Men on Squad Working Out in Gym Until Ground Dries Out
With 12 new men reporting for practice last Friday afternoon, the Jayhawk baseball squad swelled to over seventy members. The entire list of players has not been checked so yet for eligibility, and this will be reviewed at least at 24 hours must be on record for competition in the Big Six.
The first week or so of practice will be spent in limbing up exercises. Pitches and catchers will be given a chance to get use to one another. These practices will be held in the gymnasium until the ground is flat enough for pitches to be will be limited, until the squid is able to move out onto the diamond
The diamond will be located on the practice football field south of the tennis courts. It will be skinned of grass and rolled smooth. Temporary wooden bleachers will be erected for the games, the first being with the ball on April 15. A second game will be played on the following day.
Coach Francis Kappelman does not expect the Hawkeyans to be big league material in the small time left to practice, but hopes to whip the new team into a smooth running club by the time the season starts. The team will be chosen until all men and all women are invited to come out to practice.
The Kansas roster includes several players who have had experience on American Legion teams, and other summer ball club. These players have expressed a preference for the new team. Eighteen players have expressed a preference for the pitching post. Out of this number Coach Kappelman hopes to find a pitching staff capable of fooling the defense. Six bitter at least part of the time.
Ferrel Anderson is showing up well at the catchers post. He has
the weight and speed needed to play the backstep position. Several other members of the squad are daily stopping the sore-armed efforts of the pitchers, and are getting experience behind the plate.
The close of basketball practice has added several of the basketball squad to the baseball roster. Fred Pralle, Lester Kapperman, Fred Boslevaue, Roy Hollday, and Carl Wiedemer report at the next meeting. Wieder fuer years experience and plays the first base position.
Candidates for the infield and outfield positions are confined to throwing the ball to each other, so somewhat of an unknown quantity.
This is the first time in several years that every school in the Big Ten has offered a cause of curated finances the Jayhawkers have been without a team.
Getting under way more than a week later than its five other Big Six rivals, the Kansas gridiron squad will begin its spring football training period tomorrow afternoon. Checking out equipment will start at 3:30 at the stadium.

those who couldn't give it any time last year to come out.
Lindsey, who suggested the addition of a "B" team, said that with this innovation in effect it will be possible to get a line on the future freshman squads. He further stated that this new addition would change the layout of the team; the team will now have definite duties, and will be trained in the opposition's style to demonstrate the enemy's play under game conditions. This will familiarize the freshmen with the brand of football played by their team, so that they will not be entirely green when their first year ends.
Assisting Coach Lindsey will be Mike Getto, regular line coach, and Glenn Pressnell, formerly of Nebraska, who will have charge of the backfield. The other member of the team, William Hewlett, the trainer will be coach of the freshman squad, and will not report until September. The freshman players will train with the variety, and have several promising candidates in Amon Schankal, and Lenhan on Wednesday. In addition to Lester and Rosacker, in the headfill
