There are 353 more students at the University of Kansas this year than there were in the previous high year of 1930. Yet, the number of professors has decreased to the point where 15 replacements must be made this summer.
Classes are too large. It is not unusual for a professor in some departments to have an enrollment of over 100.
Among the students who are attending the University of Kansas are those who will one day be leaders of this state or even this nation. They must be well taught if they are to lead wisely.
Among those professors who do much to encourage the social viewpoint of the students was Walter R. Smith, professor of educational sociology.
Walter R. Smith
Professor Smith died January 10, 1937, at the age of 62. He had been a member of the faculty for 16 years. He held the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D. and he had taught previously at Washington University in St Louis, Heidelberg College in Ohio, and the State Teacher's College at Emporia.
He did not confine his activities at this University to teaching. He was a member of the Athletic Board and a volunteer tennis coach. He was the author of several books and many articles in sociological and educational journals.
How can we expect a man with like abilities to come to the University of Kansas when he could be so much better rewarded at any other school in the Mid-west?

Child Labor Measure Gets Kansas Approva
Vote of 64-53 in House Passes Bill After Sixth Try
Kansas yesterday became the twenty-eighth state to ratify the Child Labor amendment to the Constitution when the state house of representatives voted 64 to 43 in favor of the amendment and received senate approval.
The resolution, introduced by Senator Payne Ratner (R, Parsons) passed the senate two weeks ago by 21 to 20 vote, with Lieutenant-Governor W. M. Lindsay breaking a tie. This was the sixth time that the bill has appeared before the legislature. It was variously described as of communicist origin and purpose, an instrument by which congress would control the youth of the nation, an instrument to a faller and richer life for children.
The lieutenant-governor's vote on the resolution was challenged by Senator R. W. Coleman. He has instigated a measure to preside the president's right to a vote on it. He based his right of protest on the grounds that the Constitution does not give the lieutenant-governor measures of a legislative character.
The "ayes" on the resolution included 48 Democrats and 16 Republicans. Fifty-two Republicans voted in opposition to the resolution.
Sit Down Strikers
Lose Hold on Plants
(By The Dated Press)
Powerful evacuation of the huge Douglass Aircraft corporation plants in Santa Monica, Calif., left only two major sit-down strikes in effect throughout the nation Thursday night, as tension eased along the lair front when other controversies were averted or ended.
Six hundred strikers in the aircraft plant left the company's property quietly after previously threatening to set fire to the plant with its $240,000,000 worth of unfinished government and commercial planes. Four hundred strikers were arrested for trespassing.
Agreements of Chrysler corporation to hold collective bargaining conferences with the United Automobile Workers removed the possibility of a strike that might involve between 50.00 and 75.00 men.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Edward F. McGrydain, "The best figures obtainable showed that 45,000 people were on siege in six great cities." He said there was "nothing normal in the present situation."

Letters for Sick,
Lame, and Lazy Lack
Lucid Addresses
Since enforcing the rule that no student visitors be allowed to see patients in Watkins Memorial hospital, Dr. R. I. Canuteson is wondering if he is running a hospital or a post-office.
The students affected by this rule have hit upon the plan of sending notes to those inside, and the patients down notes to their friends outside.
Instead of using the regular mail system (envelope and three-cent stamp), they scribble a note, fold it once or twice, scratch a name across one side, and make it general delivery. This is less efficient than Lack of proper identification on these notes is rapidly changing the hospital postal system into a dead letter office.
Doctor Caucasus told that as long as his hospital has gone through these changes he will allow it to go on a closed house or a closing house at the window.
One carefully folded note has the name "Kenneth Hawley," written across one side with the numerals 355 in the corner.
- A large envelope with three addresses on it lies unclaimed at the desk. It reads, "Miss Florence Wall and Miss Faye Sneedbury or someone else." She says, "I wishes that someone "from 1246 Oread" would come and claim it."
Notes Not Claimed
**Return Addresses Reqs.**
John Paul has a note addressed to him or from him, they can't make out what he said, but his wish that he would call for it.
Five more notes of various sizes, shapes, and odors make up the total of unclaimed notes. Before delving into their contents the hospital staff made an effort to claim their messages. One is addressed to Miss Hayland Mallgut, and another to Mr.’Ernest Figs, Mary E. Bear, Jane Houp and Mary Beth Miller complete the list of unclaimed at the hospital a dead letter office.
A new system of podal communication has been promised by Doctor Cunliffe, which will require an enrollee, an address and a return address.

Committees Discuss Pre-Graduation Plans
One of the move important subjects discussed at length was the assessment to be levied on each member of the class. This includes the cost of using a cap and gown at the graduation ceremonies, and other expenses incidental to graduation. A teacher must be assigned to this matter, and all plans will be presented to the class as a slide for approval.

Pachacamacs Emerge With Council Majority
After the smoke of many weeks of political battle finally cleared, a jumbed mass of resignations, intelligibilities, hung Congress, and vote irregularities resulted in the Pachaeasma society has emerged with a majority in the Men's Student Council. The two representatives elected Wednesday night by the Council to fill the seat. It is a majority of three in the body.
The tie vote which resulted after the first ballot on the election o members for the vacancies of the School of Fine Arts and School o Business would have been broken as soon as Pachacamac member Huber Anderson could be released from the hospital and attend a meeting in the office, prolong the matter, the P.S.G.L party realized their defeat and cast their bailies for Pachacamac candidates.
With the Pachacamayo majority in the Council the two vacancies for college and engineering representatives will undoubtedly be filled by Pachacamayo, thus increasing their power over P.S.G.L. representation.
Political fires will again burst into flame when the two parties battle for supremacy in the spring election. Already the inner councils of the party have joined meetings to outline extensive campaigns for the coming election.
