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.
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 annual engineering banquet will be held Thursday evening at 6:30 in the Memorial Union building, Prof. F. A. Russell announce yesterday the appointment of the Phillips Petroleum company, will address the group.
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 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.

Kansas Court Upholds Decision Giving Bequest to University
Piazzek Will Is Held Valid
The supreme court of Kansas Saturday declared the will of Deferrion P. Plazzek 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.
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 collts. The will was contested on grounds of fraud and theft, but a number of unusual bequests.
The bequest to the University is 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.
