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 $189,250 in pedagogical salaries of $189,250
This year, University of Kansas instructors were paid $115.000. In 1927-38 they will receive, if the proposed budget is approved, $884.250.
Faculty members had their salary reduced about 25 per cent four year ago. The proposed increase will be approximately 12 per cent on the cut
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.
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.
Library Stacks To Be Extended
The new budget also calls for an expenditure of $75,000 to extend the stacks of Watson Library.
Other Departments To Benefit
Provisions have been made in the Regents' recommendations for other departments. We hold a conference: Waltkins dermatology service connection, $5000; Geological Survey, $25,000; repairs and improvements, $35,000; mechanical engineer-ments, $7,500; and maintenance, $250,000.
Medical School Will Benefit
The University of Kansas School of
Medicine at Kansas City will receive
additional funds in 1937-38.
The total proposed increase for 1967-38 over last year's appropriation is $146.300.
Salaries of the medical teachers will be increased $88,750. New construction amounting to $170,000 will be made and the appropriations for maintenance and repairs all have been increased.
on the SHIN by "Flash" Morris
Rumor is being circulated to the effect that an assistant in the department of psychology was recently put into a traction by a freshman counselor. 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 used in this department in the animals of neurochology.
Ken Postlethwaite, music critic, has madderly 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?"

Dear Santa:
We want a large number of blood-thirsty, fighting men (preferably with some flying 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

It was learned from reliable sources last night that contrary to administrative belief, there are many boys who are seniors in Kansas high school and are not running because of the condition of football here this year.

The cards are shuffled for action. The Board of Regards standing committee on athletics will sit in for a hand with the Athletic Board tomorrow as a result of various complaints, rumors and suggestions regarding the board concerning the present athletic controversy at the University.
Financial matters enter into the situation. It is evident that something is going to have to be done soon to increase the income of the accountant. You will need payments on the stadium and keep up with current expenses.

At present, six departments of the University use the time of station KFKU.
