The nation has responded splendidly to the Red Cross' call for contributions to aid the flood sufferers. But with thousands of people homeless and sick and the work of rehabilitation barely begun, it remains imperative that the entire nation continue to support the Red Cross during the critical period which will last for at least ten more days. Money contributions, "no matter how small, will be accepted from students and faculty at the table in the Administration building. The two student councils are lending their support to this campus drive for Red Cross funds. Contributions from Lawrence citizens have already far exceeded the goal set a few days ago.

Hopkins, department of Eng-agement; and W. C. physical education; and W. C. Stevens, department of botany. Whether or not these professors will be retired depends largely on the budget allotment for the University. Appropriation bills for state educational institutions will be signed by Governor Huxman probably during the last of this month or the first of March. If the budget is not increased the retirement plan may be impossible. According to University officials Professor Templin will continue to head the University Endowment association.
