Raise in Faculty Salaries; Funds for Dyche Planned
Board of Regents Proposed Budget Would Take Care of Depression Deficiencies
University teachers may very well be smiling today, for the Board of Regents has announced in its proclamation that teachers are pedagogical salaries of $189,250.
Faculty members had their salaries reduced about 25 per cent four years ago. The proposed increase will rest approximately 12 per cent of
This year, University of Kansas instructors were paid $115.000. In 1937-38 they will receive, if the proposed budget is approved, $804.250.
Dyche Museum To Be Completed
Also included in the proposed
budget is an appropriation of $55,000
to be expended for the completion of
Dyche Museum. The museum has been closed since 1932 pending rebuilding operations that would make it safe and habitable.
Library Stacks To Be Extended
The new budget also calls for an expenditure of $75,000 to extend the stacks of Watson Library.
At the present time the library contains about 100,000 volumes more than its original capacity. Extension of the stack rooms will take care of these extra books and provide for more expansion.
Other Departments To Benefit
Provisions have been made in the Regents' recommendations for other departments; see below. Watkins dormitory service connection, $5000; Geological Survey, $25,000; repairs and improvements, $55,000; mechanical engineering, $7,500; and maintenance, $250,000.
The total proposed increase for 1967-38 over last year's appropriation is $416,500.
Medical School Will Benefit
The University of Kansas School of
Medicine at Kansas City will receive
additional funds in 1837-38.
Salaries of the medical teachers will be increased $85,750. New construction amounting to $170,000 will be made and the appropriations for maintenance and repairs all have been increased.

Ken Postlethwaite, music critic, has inadvertently become known as "Deadpan." To make a long story short, the small bright daughter of a campus visiting couple looked upon his emotionless map and asked, "Daddy, who is that Deadpan?"

Rumor is being circulated to the effect that an assistant in the department of psychology was recently put into a trance by a freshman student. We have tried to ascertain the names of the persons involved, but to no avail—possibly because the results of experimental responses (in reverse gear) are not commonly known in the annals of navyology.

Dear Santa;
We want a large number of blood-thirsty, fighting men (preferably with some sacrifice experience) who are willing to sacrifice all and go to Spain to fight for the cause of the Loyalists. Also, we want a man with some military experience (preferably Bob Richardson) who can teach us the use of guns, and the tactics of war without making us drill

Xmas Vespers Are Presented To Big Crowds
Spectacular P r o r a m
Given Twice Sunday
For 6,500 Persons Who
Fill Auditorium
More than 6,500 persons attended the fourteenth annual Christmas Veer services in the Anditourism Sunday. The services were given twice this year, the first time since the beginning, to accommodate the new crowd.
The Auditorium was filled to capacity for the afternoon performance and was nearly full for its evening show.
The entire program maintain the same high standard of beauty and smoothness that made the prepositional move, exacerbating the recessional. The recessional, seemed to be withying with the hundred-odd voices of the choir in an effort to see who was the lourist. Had the organist not been aided by a mamouth instrument, I would have lost the contest.

rere Vesper Choir sang four num- rers in that precise, clear, tunefl manner that Dean D. M. Swarrow out seems to be able to extract from the musical organization he directs.
The songs used by the choir were "Today There is a Ringing" (Christian answers); "The Three Kings" (ok Catholic natural song); "The Holly and the Ivy" (Boughton); and "Praise the Lord" (Frunk).
Wilkins Family Features
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1936
Especially enjoyable on the program was the singing of the Wilkins family. Prof Joseph Wilkins, director of the Men's Goele club, sang "O Fair Art Thou" (Gradi-Clokey) accompanied by the harp and o. organ. Mrs. Marie Wilkins sang the solo part of the choir's number "The Three Kings," and his sister duet with Alice Moehmer in the Manger" (Franc), arecompeted by the University strin quartet.
Other musical numbers on the program were: "Ave Maria" (Bach Gound), by the University encamble; Walenarue Golin, violin Raymond Stahl, cello; D. R Swarthout, harp; melvon Marryn Harp; and Laurel Auer Anstrut, organ; orgonion (The Sleep of the Sphinx) (Buster), Waldemar Gelch, violin, accompanied by thars harm and organ.
The departments of design an drawing and painting staged for beautiful tableaux during the Veneri program. Three of the tableaux depicted events connected with the birth of Christ, the fourth was Christmas-jul-14, all carefully gathered around glowing stockings, fireblowing buckets from the mantle and the father reading the evening paper.

Catherine Holmes opened the discussion with a report on similar organizations in other schools throughout the United States, pointing to the policies followed by the vicious groups and outlining possible activist actions against these policies, among others. These policies were made by members present.
The actual formulation of play was left to the executive committee which will work on these during the Christmas vacation. It will also investigate possible affiliation with Triam, a national organization for women.
These matters will be report at the next meeting which will held Jan. 4.

If a copy of the Big Six rules should come into the hands of a man from Mars, he would undoubtedly wonder how, on earth, the culture-hungry midwestern youth ever learns of the existence of his nearby universities. A section in the rules entitled "recruiting" denounces in no uncertain terms the practice of luring prospective students to the halls of learning by describing to them the superiorities of one school over another, and particularly by offering their financial aid. A warning addressed particularly to athletic directors admonishes them to avoid any suspicion of recruiting, including even seeing students in the summer.
The Kansan Platform
*Chancellor E. H. Lindley returned Sunday from Washington, D.C. where he attended the national conference on educational broadcasting, which was held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of last week.
The man from Mars would, then, be quite baffled by the following newspaper items:
"Concordia, Kas, Dec. 2." Speaking at a football dinner here next Monday night before members of the high school squad, Dana X. Bible, coach of the University of Nebraska, likely will have a capacity audience . . .
"Columbia, Mo., Nov. 30—Don Faurot, Missouri coach, will leave tomorrow for Coffeyville, Kas., where he will speak tomorrow night at a banquet for the Coffeyville Junior College and high school football teams. . ."

The toll of fatalities from automobile accidents in this country is 36,000 yearly. Little is being done to reduce the numbers. Can it be possible that we are a less civilized and less socially welfare-minded people than those "wild Bolsheviks."

Whoover heard of a man being executed for being drunk while driving a truck? No, one of, course, but a man was actually put to death for drunken driving when he ran through a safety zone killing two persons and injuring eight others. The announcement of his execution appeared a few days later with no explanation attached; the deed was self-explanatory. This happened in Soviet Russia.
In this country when such events occur, and they occur pretty regularly, punishment is slow and less severe. Especially if the murderous weapon happens to be a high-powered and expensive automobile instead of a truck, the drunken driver is apt to be let off with a fine or a short prison sentence. Nearly all offenses in this country appear less serious with a little financial backing. And the time of punishment over, the criminal is regarded by the public at large as "that unfortunate fellow who was mixed up in an automobile accident."

I suppose that even Phog Allen will agree to the following regulations:
1. That we would like to see Kansas have a football team, if necessary, the detriment of other schools.
2. That we do not have such a team.
It may be the coaches, the material, or our domestic industry. It could be that we have had some good coaches and some good material, however, but we have not had outstanding team.

Kansas, "the best teacher," "Each in His Own Tongue," over 20 years in memory. In memory of his service as teacher, poet, and leader at the University of Kansas, the eleventh annual William Herbert Carnuth Memorial poetry prize committee will present its award to a university poetry students this school year. For the best poems written by a resident student of the University a first prize of $80, a second prize of $40, and a third of $20 will be awarded. Each contestant winning poem will be given a volume of poetry.
Thus William Herbert Carruth described his native Kansas, in the famous poem, "Each in His Own Toneue," over 20 years ago.
Having been a student at the University of Kansas and a graduate student at Harvard, William Herbert Carruth was made a teacher here, became head of the German department, and was Viece-Chancellor for several years. While on the Hill, he received nationwide recognition for his volumes of verse, and two translations. Probably his most widely-known poem is "Each in His Own Tongue," published in 1914. His best books include "Kansas in Literature," "Letters for American Boys," and a translation Carl Heinrich Cornell's "History of the People of Israel." Mr. Carruth was professor of communicative literature and head of English Department at Leland Stanford University until his death.Di. 15. 1924.
Through the years, the content committees have attempted to honor the memory of his name in the selection of prize winning poems. Beginning in 1927 with Robert Frost, who has since become a world-renowned author and chairman he have produced widely authorize to judge the student contributions. Vachel Lindsey, William Rose Benet, Maclaide MacLeish, Arthur Davison Ficke, Jessie B. Rittenhouse—such names are conspicuous on the list of famous personalities on past committees of awards. This year W. S. Johnson, professor of English, who is chairman of the committee, announced the name of Ben Ribe associate editor of "Country Gentleman," and a graduate of the University, and Robathan Nan as members of the committee. The poet of the year has not been selected.
Poems of any length or classification will qualify for awards. Each contestant may submit one poem or poems submitted in the Chancellor's Choice in the Chancellor's List, 14, 1937, at 12 noon. Further information about the contest is posted
