A NEW SNOW HALL
FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1927
Shortly after midnight last night the ways and means committees reached an agreement which allows appropriations for a new building on the campus to replace Snow hall, Senator Snyder, of Leavenworth, chairman of the senate ways and means committee, held out for a new building for all schools or no buildings at all.
Snow hall has served its time and a new home for the biological sciences will fill one of the biggest needs of the University. The old Snow hall that has played such an important role in the University's history will not go without a few small lumps rising in the throats of old timers and alumni. But the old timers should remember that they aren't the ones who attend classes in the dark old smelly building.
Tradition clal or holy, Snow hall is going to be replaced by a more modern building. Thus, the king is dead—long live the king!
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE
For the third year the University administration is offering a splendid program of vocational guidance tulla.
The constructive possibilities from the usual attempts to guide youth in its choice of a life work. This is due to the invariable failure, which is taken into account in this program, to realize the great difficulties that shroud the mysteries of an individual's future.
With this in mind the Tuesday evening life work series follows the more practical method of attempting to give the students a bird's-eye view, as it were, of the various possible vocations. Thus the student can review the fields themselves through competent representatives of the divergent fields of activity. It then devleves upon himself to judge, as best he may in the light of his training, which of the vocations will be best for him to follow.
Among the difficulties encountered is the fact that each must choose his own way finally; the choices cannot safely be left to another. Also that, despite much progress along the line of intelligence and performance tests, no scientist can predict positively the individual's correlation in a career. Though there is good reason to believe that high mentality will aid material in life's success, the tests do not point the path that leads to such success.
A JAIL SENTENCE FOR SINCLAIR
Harry F. Sinclair, the multi-millionaire oil operator, will receive a sentence of not less than one notz more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than one hundred and not more than one thousand dollars, as a result of the findings of the jury in the District of Columbia supreme court Wednesday.
In view of the high class of speakers selected by the administration it is safe to say that a student's time and effort will be well repaid by attending such of the Tuesday evening series as he may.
Sinclair has been in the limelight of public opinion, in varying degrees of intensity, for several years, ever since investigations were begun by
the oil committee in the Teapot Dome naval oil lease. He has been called before the committee several times during the months intervening since the investigations were first begun, but the public had begun to lose interest in the case until he was called to court recently on a count of having been in contempt of the senate for having refused to answer four of the six questions of the committee on his sixth appearance before it, March 22 1924.
The verdict was given after Sinclair had been found guilty and after the jury had been charged by the justice "not to be influenced by either the fact that Sinclair was a central figure in the oil investigation or that he was the president of an oil company and that gasoline is an expensive commodity." The sentence will be given by Justice Hits, probably within the next week.
Although Sinchir will unquestionably appeal the case and attempt to fight his way through the highest court, he has at least been shown that one court means business.
The conduct of the case in the District of Columbia supreme court warrants commendation.
Boston police, having learned that censorship helps the sale of books, have compromised by waiting toensor until the heavy sales are over.
COMPETITION FOR TENNIS COURTS
Quite frequently University, students who wish to play tennis in the afternoons find the courts monopolized by other players, not numbered of the University, and usually of high school age. The students must wait from 15 minutes to a half-hour to get the use of a court, and when a good share of the time allotted for the day's recreation is gone.
The average University student has only a short period of freedom in the afternoon after classes are over, 12 he is going to play tennis, he cannot wait long for a court and still have time to play.
There is no good reason why all non-University people should be barred from the University courts, but it is only just that the students should have first choice for their use, since the courts were built for them.
What a shame that the fishing son isn't on in full swing. President Coolidge would not then need to ex plain how his wrist has been crowned
MORE LIGHT
"Let there be light" was the command on which the world began. But the poor ambitions students of the University may cry in vain. They find such little illumination from their instructors that it becomes necessary; to ask the confines of Watson library but even there, at least in the general reading room at night, it is so dark that it becomes a difficult problem.
Saunter through the place yourself, some evening and what do you find? A paltry dozen students or no seated at the desk sharply peering through the dark in an effort to acquire the necessary illumination which instructors are always hinting about. Under such difficulties little knowledge is acquired but there are many strained eyes. It also results in a great deal of wasteful library space.
MORE MUSICAL HONORS
Within a few days after the announcement that the Missouri men's glee club, the group that barely beat Kansas out for the valley title, took second place in the national contest, come further good tidings. Two University of Kansas musicians took first
The indirect lighting system is delightful in every way except that it just doesn't give enough light. It may be that the bulbs aren't powerful enough, perhaps there aren't enough of them or maybe they need dusting off. Anyway something simply must be done, for it is too dark for studying and too light for anything else.
Such few law-abiding citizens are alive in Chicago must be getting tired of having smart-shack paragraphers suggest that the Marines could do more good in the Windy City than in Nicaragua. Anyway, it's not such a wedge-wise cruel. It's too obvious.

In an institution having the standing of the University, it is inevitable that several valuable faculty members each your should receive tempting offers to go elsewhere. Some of these can be kept at Kanan by a nominal increase in salary.
Increasing numbers of students make an increase in the number of faculty members necessary, or impose an added burden on present members, with a consequent lowering of standards of instruction for the individual student.
places in the district convention of the National Federation of Music Clubs in Kansas City Tuesday, Ray E. Lawrenson, pianist, and Melvin H. Geist, tenor, both of whom are sophomores in the School of Fine Arts, will represent the southwest district in the national contest to be held in Chicago, April 18 and 19.
With the reputation of K. U., already well established in musical circles, more honors seem in store for us. Both of those young men are skilled musicians. They will represent us well.
It now remains for some Mt. Oread fraternity or sorority to offer it house to President Coulidge for a summer home. Potter lake has many fish in it.
A LARGER SALARY BUDGET IS NECESSARY
A vacancy created by resignation of a major faculty member must be filled, either by accepting an inferior man at the old salary, or by paying an increased salary (due to the higher scale of salaries in most of the邻居ing institutions) to get a man of the desired merit.
Additional members of the faculty nominal readjustments in special cases, and the force of competition to
A long fight was waged in the Kansas legislature on the question of whether the salary budget of the state's educational institutions should be increased. The battle centered about the University. Those opposing an increase failed intentionally or otherwise, to consider certain facts which are important.
get suitable men to fill vacancies al compel an increase in the total salary
budget or borrowing with our own salary budget, and with this no general interest in the legislative appropriation for salaries has been unchanged for four years, and its continuance for two more years is proposed.
Since the salary budget as a whole was not increased, the University must crowd increasing numbers of students into the same or a lessened number of classes; must see valuable members of the faculty go to better positions elsewhere and gradually fill faculty vacancies with second rate men instead of men of the type the youth of Kannas deserves for its instruction. And, finally, the University will continue with a program of rigid economy, making the best of the present situation and planning for the future.
SPENDING LEISURE TIME
Now that Spring is in the air, it is difficult to spend one's leisure time in a profitable manner. It is so pretty outdoor that a student prefers a stroll to Porter lake to a few minutes in the reference room of the library, or a social chat with friends over a glass of coke to a conference with an instructor.
It is rather fateful to go to the library when one has only a few minutes before the next class period, perhaps. One hardly has time to prepare an assigned book on which careful notes must be taken. Moreover, it is too much trouble to call for a book of fiction and wait for it to be checked out, just for the sake of reading it a few minutes.
The library officials have improved the browsing room on the east end of the third floor this week in the hope of riding students in the problem of how they shall spend their leisure moments. Several comfortable chairs and divans will be provided, and the shelves will be filled with books of fiction. These books will be available

WHAT TO DO?
President Goodie is probably beginning to think that the world is not small, after all. At least he seems to have been in a dimma for many days trying to decide what small spot in this vast United States would be the most desirable place to spend a pleasant and restful vacation.
Practically every legislator in Washington has extended an invitation to his particular corner of the nation and has insisted that it is the best state in the union. Invitations have arrived in Washington in such overwhelming numbers that Mr. Coolidge had to cease giving him his personal attention and go back to the affairs of state.
For a time middle-western breathlessly awaited the decision, for it was rumored that the president might choose the Oraks, and the most pretentious homes of this section were thrown open to him.
It was even hoped for a time that he might visit Kansas, but even the natives of this sunny state will admit that it gets really very, very sunny about the middle of July, and perhaps it is better after all for Cal to have chosen the Rockies because the altitude is higher, there are rocks instead of vast wheat fields, and too, it is somewhat cooler.
