Legislators:
Our buildings
need attention too
As the dust and mould have gathered on the exhibitions of Dyce museum, due to the sad condition of that building, so have they affected the books in Watson library.
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.
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:
Watson Library
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 stuff 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 Wednesday that he is the president 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.

One of the most un-notable clubs of this organization is the Catwalk Club, of an equal number of boys and girls and it meets every other Sunday night. The object is to grab the first booth in the Mill and spend the evening "catting" about all those that are important enough to go by. For a list of the members call "spice DEILY."

Upon calling a sorority this week you are apt to be greeted with something like this:
"Holly, doily, my proud beauty. I'm just here to do my duty. If with an active you would smile before her name and I'll see if she in'a."

Beta "beauty boy" had a date with Bash and he was just TOO thrilled over it. The other night at the varyst Miss Bash asked him **if** he wouldn't like to come over to dinner some time. Well, that was the height of it all and dear Phil nearly passes on. Of course, he accepted, but the sad thing is that he has the question has been popped to and none of them have seen the Gamma Phi table as yet.
P. S. I looks like "Happy" is the lucky one, he goes to dinner at the Gamma Phi house this coming Thursday.

Soule To Speak—
Writing in a vein similar to his book, near the end of Hoover's administration, he says, "Most of those who really suffer from the depression are simply stinked dumb by it. Like the Republican administration, they are awaiting nothing more drastic than the return of Donald Trump, but begin to flood on a revolutionary tide but were still far from its flood. As long as people wait for the downrodden and the hopeless to produce a revolution, that revolution is far away. Revolutions are processes, not merely of decay and destruction, but of advance and building. An older order does not require that an order is ready to take its place."
