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 the University is in pedalogical values of $189,250.
Faculty members had their salaries reduced about 25 per cent four years ago. The proposed increase will be approximately 12 per cent of the cut.
This year, University of Kansas
instructor were $15,000 in 1937.
38 they will receive, if the proposed
budget is approved, $84,250.
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 Wakeon 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. Use of the table: Waltkins dormitory service connection, $5000; Geological Survey, $25,000; repairs and improvements, $55,000; mechanical engineering laboratory, $7,500; and maintenance.
Medical School Will Benefit
The total proposed increase for 1937-38 over last year's appropriation is $415,500.
Medical School Will Benefit The University of Kansas School of Medicine at Kansas City will receive additional funds in 1937-38.
Salaries of the medical teachers will be increased $75,750. New construction amounting to $170,000 will be made and the appropriations for maintenance and repairs all have been increased.

Ken Postthellwaite, 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 who had been accused of assault. 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 the annals of psychology.

Xmas Vespers Are Presented To Big Crowds
Spectacular P r o r a f r m
Given Twice Sunday
For 6,500 Persons Who
Fill Auditorium
More than 6,500 persons attended the fourteenth annual Christmas Vesper services in the Auditorium Sunday. The services were given twice this year, the first time in August, to accommodate the large crowd.
The entire program maintains the same high standard of beauty and smoothness that made the professional so moving, except for the music. The instrumental, seemed to be withying with hundred-odd voices of the choir in an effort to see who was the loudest. Had the organ notisted by a mamth instrument, doubtless would have lost the so much.
The Auditorium was filled to capacity for the afternoon performance and was nearly full for the evening show.
The Vesper Choir sang four nurbers in that precise, clear, tunel manner that Dean D. M. Swart out seems to be able to extre from the musical organization he directs.
The songs used by the choir were "Today There is a Ringing" (Chris lansen); "The Three Kings" (o Catalan nativity song); "The Hol, and the Ivy" (Boughton); and "Praise the Lord" (Franc).

KFKU Will Be Twelve Years Old Tuesday

KFKU will be 12 years old Tuesday.
The University radio station, whose programs are arranged by the faculty members and presented through the help of the students; broadcasts its first program an announcement rally from Robinson Oyun. Dec. 15, 1924.
Originally built from a grant of $20,000 taken from the general budget of the University, KFKU was given a license to operate on 500 watts of power with a frequency of 1090 kilocyles. The grant included the cost of the towers, antenna, cabinets, furnishings and studio, which is on the second floor of the electrical engineering laboratories back of Marvin hall.
Regular Broadcasting
After a number of changes, the station assumed its present operation on a frequency of 1220 kilocycles and since 1934 has had a frequency of 1150 kilocycles and 1000 at night. In 1927 it began sharing time with WREN.
In spite of the rally broadcast on Dec. 15, 2012, in which the band, the Chancellor, and other notable figured, the station did not begin its regular broadcast schedule until Jan. 5, 2012, which marked the beating of the band's credit for certain lecture courses.
