THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Biennial University Report Presents K.U. Attainments
Data Given Shows K. U Has Lowest Paid Faculty Members in List
The Registrar's Office has received printed copies of the Twenty-ninth Biennial Report of the University, from the state printer at Topokla. The data of the report was compiled from the records of the last two years by the heads of the different departments, then submitted to Chancellor Lindley who supervised its organization.
The report contains a complete list of the functions and accomplishments of the schools and departments of the University, besides an introductory letter to the State Board of Administration and an explanation of the purposes of the University. The virtue of student government is recognized in the report and the efforts of the students in establishing the Women's Student Government Association are lauded for their whole-hearted support in establishing regulations governing the conduct and social life on the campus.
Social Expenses Reduced
The report points out the success of recent efforts of the students to reduce the scale of expenditures in social affairs and their recent proactive role, including the mobility, expressing a spirit of democracy and an earnest desire for right living, "which," says the report, in our judgment, compares favorably with the standards of previous years in our colleges and universities.
Under the title "Accomplishment of the University's Purposes," it is explained that the state university performs the three-fold function of teacher, discoverer of truth, and disseminator of knowledge. The report says that the state university "has won its right to be considered an indispensable organ of the higher life of the state." So dependent is man on the science and arts in these fields and motor cars, electric lights, telephone and radio, and machine power of every sort that the university becomes more and more necessary to the life of the humble man."
Gives Eight Salary Scales
The scale of salaries paid to faculty members of eight state universities is given, including the University of Kansas which is at the bottom of the list. A tabulation of the different salaries paid by the eight schools leads that Illinois which leads the list pays her professors $4,918 a year, while Kansas pays only $8,400; a difference of thirty four per cent between the two countries. For associate professors and instructors the difference is not so great.
In commenting on the salary scales the report says, "There is no reason to believe that the state of Kansas can secure higher services for less money than can other states. We again call the attention of the people of the state to this problem, which must be faced if the University is to furnish the best training for the young people of Kansas."
The offices of the Dean of Women and that of the Dean of Men have been absorbed with the housing problem together with taking a hand in affairs constructive in student life. As an outgrowth of the housing conditions has come the dormitory becoming a reality, it is hoped that a surplus room may give a student room that may give a sounder basis for regulation of houses, and for more reasonable rentals and improved living conditions."
Improve Housing Conditions
A report is given from each school in the University explaining purpose, conditions, and needs. Besides these, the usefulness of some of the facilities of the University, such as Commons and the Exhibition Division are made for appropriate for these worthy institutions.
The foregoing report was submitted to the State Senate now in session at Topeka by Chancellor Lindley last week.

Geological Reports Feature At Seminar Of K. U. Scientists
Problem of Earth's Surface is Principal Discussion of National Meetings
The mining seminar yesterday evening was featured by annually interesting reports of the Ann Arbor trip by the Kansas representatives to the meeting of the Geological Society of America, held there during December. Dr. R. C. Moore gave a chalk talk representing the great men in the profession. Short annotations of his speeches at the meeting were given by Doctor Moore, Prof. W. H. Schewe, and Prof. R. S.Kanppen.
Harold Hoots, instructor in the department of geology, talked on the "Laramie Problem." In summing up the details of the question Mr. Hoots said, "The problem alters the other answers," and points to posts which overrule much of the creatureous in portions of the western interior of North America."
At the time of the Aun Arbor Conference, Doctor Moore went on to Washington to confer with government geologists on research work which he is doing. While there are arrangements were completed under which he and the head of the department of geology of Yale University, Dr. Moore co-authors a publication on the nateau country north west of the Grand Canyon, where he and Doctor Moore have been working for some time.
While in Washington, Doctor Moore was asked to deliver a talk on "The Colorado Plateau Geology," before the Petroleum Club.
Ohio U. Needs Instructors
Legislature Asking For Large Appropriation
Columbus, O, Jan. 16. - Wanted students at universities. They got them. Now the pendulum has saving need. For now, curing eying need is for more instructors.
Ohio State University is asking the new Ohio legislature for $63,754.76 to be expended for "personal service" during the next two years, an increase of $543,344 for each of the two years. The request, according to President W. O. Thompson, "brings the legal burden of our state's own legislation," since, as b points out, it is impossible under its state law to restrict admission.
"The most important task any university has is the selection of a competent faculty, inspired with proper ideal of education and devoted to the every-day, routine tasks of the classroom," said Dr. Thompson.
Students Might Lose A Leg in this Study
"Say, whose leg is this?
"What? Why it's Jeans. Comt
and get it."
"Say, whose leg is this?"
"Well, just as soon as I finish thi eye, I will."
"Oh, you at the third table. Why don't you come over and get your tongue. It is covered with ants."
The scene was a zoology laboratory room and the anatomical discussion had reference to the unfortunate frogs who were baring their innermost secrets to the insatiable eye of the embryonic zoologists.
During the operations the frog suffers no pain, for when he is first brought into the laboratory the first nerve is severed and he is unconscious.
The girls, with the exception of a scant few, shudder at the prospect of dissection. The men, feeling eazy their superiority at this time, take off their shirts and pursue themselves, murderous smile as they shiver their knives for work.
Merchants Course To Meet In Sections February 19 to 22
Important Lecturers to Divide Time Between Lawrence, Salina and Hutchinson
Meetings of the annual University Merchants' Short Course will be held in three different towns in as many different town, Lawrence, Hutchinson, and Salina, February 19 to 22, this year.
"We have found in the past years that many merchants, especially from the western part of the state, found it inconvenient to make the long trip to Lawrence, and accordingly we have decided to try taking the course to the merchants," said E. H. Ingham, director of the division.
“An unusually strong list of speakers is being made up for the course,” continued Mr. Ingham. “Some of the speakers will make the rounds of the town on the week end and participate for the week, one at each of the towns. On account of the increased cost of providing the lecturers of the calibre that Kansas deserves, it will be necessary to charge an enrolin in the course with two tickets for the various meetings.”
Hamp Williams, of Hot Springs, Ark, will speak on "Making Better Merchants"; "Helping Ourselfs." and "Business Program for 1925."
Among the speakers already listed are:
Charles E. Duffie, Omaha, Nob will talk on "Turnover and Profits," and "Retail Advertising and Promotion."
E. B, Moon, formerly with the Orange Juiled Farmer, is a popular lecturer for the merchants' courses in Minnesota.
Tom Witton, a retail merchant of retenon, Mo., will present in a practical way many ideas of practical alue to merchants.
