UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1923
NUMBER 95
Bill Provides For Erection of $300,000 Auditorium; $90,000 Allowed For Equipment
The state educational institutions of Kansas will receive $1,250,000 less for the coming biennium than two years ago, if the recommendations of the Ways and Means committee are carried out. The senate appropriations state educational institutions, introduced recently, settle $7,240,000.
Several new buildings will be constructed at the various schools. The University of Kansas was awarded $300,000 for the erection of an auditorium and gets $80,000 laboratory equipment and other improvements. The university also awarded $155,000 for building the first section of a new power plant, instead of repairing the old one. The Manhattan school also gets $25,000 for a cremation building, $25,000 for its water supply, $25,000 for experiential learning, and $18,000 for an additional sym to the veterinary clinic building.
In a separate bursa the senate committee also appropriated $175,000 for a dormitory for girls at the Agricultural College. Other state school new have dormitories. The council has killed this bill over the site.
Provide for K. S. A. C. Dormitory
Emperor Natal gets $40,000 with which to embark its campus and make improvements in the ballet room. Pittzburg Manual Training Normal was awarded $100,000 for the erection of a library building. For the Normal School at Hays a similar appropriation is made.
Cut Hospital Appropriation
The largest cut, in the buildin program occurred when the committee cut $400,000 from the request of the University for the erection of another building for the University hospital at Rosedale.
It is probable that the total savings as compared with two years ago may reach $20,000,000. Fees and special money usually re-appropriated will be turned over to the general fund of the state this year, where the totals have grown larger than need be, according to Senator Charles W. Snyder, chairman of the senate ways and means committee.
In spite of general increase of time per centage for teaching forces of the school, their maintenance, and improvement, this reduction in the educational appropriation has been accomplished.
Loan Fund Is Growing
Begun in 1894, Contributions Total $10,349.16
Gifts to the Student Loan Fund since its establishment in 1894 have amounted nearly to $2,000. The class of 1894 established the fund with $979.20. From this small beginning grown to its present proportions.
The majority of the gifts to the fund have come from various graduating classes. The largest class gift saddles from the first one was that of a graduate in 1916, contributions from the student body in general form another large part of the gifts. The largest amount from this 'source' was $273.00 in 1916. The largest individual gift was the Jimmy, which amounted to $5,000.
The rate of interest on student loans heretofore has been 4 per cent. Since the time at the founding of the fund in 1894 the interest column added $376.70 per cent to the total available fund amounts to $10,540.16.

The recital given last night by Prof. Edward Kurtz consisted of a number of delightful selections, and was attended by a large audience His modern numbers, including an original composition, were especially appreciated by his hearers, yet his in interpretation of the selections from the artist's collections from were none the less charming.

"Story of Genesis Resembles Evolutionary Idea"
Professor Alter then gave several different illustrations and examples which tended to prove the close relationship existing between the so-called teacher and the professor. Professor Alter's opinion the conflict is purely an imaginary one, and to prove his point he reviewed step by step the processes of evolution as encountered in science and showed their relationship in the story as related in Geneals.
In conclusion, Professor Alter spoke of his feeling of certainty as to the existence of a personal God. "I cannot but think," he said, "that a personal God who has been so interested in mankind as to reveal the past for him could help but be interested also in his future."
"There is no conflict between the scientific theory of creation and the story of creation as related in the Bible," said Prof. Dianmore Hale, who co-authored *Science to Religion* "yesterday afternoon before the Y. W. C. A. in Myers Hall
"There is a strong resemblance," he continued, "between the story of Genesis and the evolutionary theory. It is simply a matter of correct inference of the rules rather than form in which the story is found in our Bible."

University Woman Of Freshman Class Has Perfect Posture
The American Girl of Today is Lazy and Slipshod," Says Doctor Bacon
Only one out of the 500 women of the freshman class who were examined this year by Dr. Martha Bacon, the head of the institute, his a perfect posture and perfect feet. The perfect woman is Isabel Milner, daughter of a well-known Kansas City, Kans. attorney. Last week, she will discover a single perfect posture.
"The posture of the American girl today is shocking," said Daeon Racon. "It is lazy, sloppy, and anything but beautiful. Nearly every girl has a defective posture or spine. The American girl has not realised that posture is a mark of beauty as well as her face or clothes."
The department of physical education here specializes in posture and foot trouble. Those found deficient often are subjected to certain defects, which correct them defect.
Doe or Bacon has just received a new instrument to help record defective postures. This is the posture camera, or scathemograph, which was invented by Stanford University. This person to be examined is placed in front of a white screen and the reflection is thrown upon the lens of the cameras. A piece of tissue paper can be placed on another lens on the top of the scanner, where the reflection passes, and the postscript drawn on the paper.
Pictures taken with this instrument each day record the improvement of the pupil.

New York Speaker Addresses Classes Upon Advertising
Bureau and Agencies Doing Much to Uphold Cause of Truthfulness, Says Barnard
"Advertising is not only a means of getting a business, but is in a way a business itself," Kenneth Barnard, associate director of the National Vigilance Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World told a class in Elements of Advertising today.
Campaign for Truth
There are two parts to every business, according to M. Barnard. "The first is composed of the tangible, usually seen assets, the stock anduilding. The second is that which we call 'good will.' Without it no business or enterprise of any kind can exist for a single day.
"Advertising is the 'insurance' on good will, and is therefore justified as a legitimate business. The better business burens and advertising associations, located all over the country, are engaged in upholding the cause of truthfulness in advertisements."
Mr. Barnard said that a large percentage of untruthfulness in advertising is not the result of dellerate attempts to defend or deceive, but is a sign that the merchant has been carried away by enthusiasm for his product. It is only when the Wizard of Oz is dealing with a 'crook' that it resorts to law to force the offender to obey the rules.
Barnard a Michigan Grad
Mr. Barbuck is a graduate of the Law School of the University of Michigan, and member of the Ohio bar. He served for three years as secretary of the Better Business Commission at Toluca, Ohio, an organization that assists small businesses organized of the Better Business buries in the country.
H. E. Brighton, editor and publisher of the Quenoema News, talked to students of the department of humanities on practical problems. "Talk in connection with your prospect," was Mr. Brighton's advice to the classes in advertising copy. He also made five-minute talks to the classes in editorial writings. He visited Brighton and visited his son, Hubert Brighton, sophomore in the College.
Rosenow Discusses Coue
"Day by Day" not for All Ils,
Says Professor
"I do not believe that Couse's method is absolutely the best method," said Dr. Curt Rosenow, an professor of psychology this morning when asked his opinion of Couse's theory. "However," he said, and he kept on going with some good. In some cases it might even be the best method.
"We recognize two kinds of trouble, functional trouble and organic trouble. In organic trouble the individual might be lame and the organic cause would be injury to the nervous system, bones or muscles. These, I do not believe, Coue could cure.
"Functional trouble, however, is due to an entirely different source and the possibilities in this field are too numerous to mention. In this class there is always a chance of Cone's method doing good, and it might even be the best method, in some cases."
