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.
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.
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.
NUMBER 109
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. R. Russell announces yesterday that he is in charge of the Phillips Petroleum company, will address the group
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
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.
STUDENT RECEIVES MUSIC CLUB FEDERATION AWARD
Ralph Allen, fa 40, was the only University student to receive an award in the annual Music Fund Awards; she also presented Administration building auditorium. The competition was sponsored by the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs, and was supervised by Dean Bannister, outflow of the School of Fine Arts.

Soule Condemns Supreme Court In Analyzation

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.
Topeka, March 8.—(UP)—The choice of a successor to Dr. F C. Allen, as athletic director of the University, remained in suspense late tonight as the Board of Regents adjourned its meeting in Topeka.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 7, 1937
A Comparison
Doctor Popenoe is also the secretary of the Hardy Betterment Foundation at Pasadena, Calif. Since 1933 he has been a lecturer in zoology at the University of Chicago and a professor for years 1927-1932, he was visiting professor at the summer sessions of the Teacher College, Columbia University. Doctor Popenoe is the author of many technical publications, and a number of more popular books in the fields of heredity, eugenics, and sociology. He has numerous lectures on the problems confronting society in these fields.
Comparisons are often the best form of illustration.
Total enrollment in all Missouri schools of higher learning is 9.054. In Kansas it is 12.044.
The work of the organization falls in three divisions: Public education through lectures, conferences, and printed material; a design process that analyzes analysis of personality, and the necessary information to prepare young people for marriage; and a department of research which is conducting an extensive investigative study of the success or failure in marriage.
Popenoe Will Speak In Forum Tomorrow
Dr. Paul Popenoe, noted biologist, psychologist, and author, who is the secretary and general director of the Institute of Family Relations. Los Angeles, will talk on "The Progress of Eugenics," in Fraser theater tomorrow at 4 p.m. He will also speak this evening in the Men's louge of the Memorial Union building at 5 o'clock on "Looking Forward to Marriage." Doctor Forrest comes to the cam-paign through the efforts of the Convocations committee, and the Y.W.C.A., and the Y.M.C.A. Both lectures will be open to public without admission.
Proposed budget for the University of Missouri is $3,957,855. For the University of Kansas it is $2,683,500. We have a larger enrollment than Missouri
The Institute of Family Relations with which Doctor Popenoe has been associated since its founding in 1930, is the first organized attempt to promote more successful family life by using the resources of modern science. In his lecture "The Social Role of some of the specific work of the association and present case studies as illustrations."
Proposed budget for Missoura schools of higher learning for the biennium is $8,445,492. For Kansas it is $6,531,500.
Figures based on the Legislative Committee recommendations for Missouri and the recommendations of the budget director of Kansas.

Geneva Landrith, c'39, spoke to the group on the 'Teligion En-
viement', and asked permission from the council in behalf of the
sorcery houses.
"Upon employment of an athletic director," according to Mr. Harger, chairman of the Regents, "the present committee on management of athletics will be dissolved according to the Board's recommendation, and the executive board will appoint an executive committee to replace the committee on management. The executive committee will function as an advisory committee for the athletic director, and the University representative to Big Six conferences shall be the chairman of the executive committee."
At the meeting of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council yesterday afternoon, Dr. Gail McClure of the Wakins Memorial hospital staff discussed the "food-handling" examination which will later be given in each of the sorority and fraternity houses.
The new athletic director will not be allowed to coach a major sport.

able from national economic planning? He will attempt to establish exactly what liberty is, and what liberties we enjoy at present.
His book, "The Coming American Revolution," published in 1934, shows the "evolution of revolution." His theme is that a government founded on revolutionary beginnings necessarily becomes more conservative than others. As proof, Soule points to America and France which have "beyond the control of nations" and expects Russia, in a few years, will become even more so.
Soule has contributed extensively throughout the past 10 years to Harpers, Forum, the Saturday Review of Literature, Congressional Digest, the American Economic Review, Current History, the Literary Digest, and the Saturday Evening Post, besides his own New Republic.
Throughout his articles he shows the necessity for economic planning. Writing under the title, "Are we ready to organize our great Republic of Feb. 11, 1931, Soule says," the major task of our civilization is to organize our great economic organs. The difficulty is to know how it can be met."
Following the "grass roots" Republican convention in Springfield, Ohio, in 1953, he wrote for Harpers on the subject, "Back to States Rights" saying, "The system about the edges, but they cannot improve the central principles of its operation. The major part of industry is already centralized in private hands. To decentralize political power over it is merely to prevent the people from taking anything important about it."
In regard to the Roosevelt administration, he says, "I am one of those who believe that President Roosevelt's program was doomed to failure because it left too much power in the hands of private industry. After seven months of the New Deal, 'The President must decide soon whether to fight or to 'co-operate.' If he does not fight, the New Deal will contain the old marked cards."
