Professor Stutz of the Politica Science Department Attended
Attended
"The Eighth Annual Meeting of the City Managers' Association at Chicago was the largest and most instructive ever held," said assistant Prof. J. G. Stutz in speaking of his attending the convention.
"The first subject considered by the city managers, and one which is indicative of the city manager spirit, was 'Suggestions for Increased Service to Citizens.' Although organization is necessary, it was the general expression of the managers that more and more attention should be given to increasing the health, recreation and welfare services of the city.
"City Manager E. J. Fort, of Niagara Falls N. Y., gave a paper on the qualifications of a city executive Equipment, that is, the training and experience required for effective personality, executive ability and community spirit followed.
"The Wednesday session was a joint session with the National Municipal league. The subject, "The Financial Purpose of Our City," was on an interactive discussion. The principle of taxation which has been followed and is being followed extensively namely 'Getting the most feathers with the least squawk' was condemned. The problem is more in the form of the services they receive, to help them in the realization that increased public service means increased tax rates. Considerable feeling was voiced on the matter of securing for cities a proportion of income tax and motor license fees.
"A debate on the subject 'Is the City Manager Plan Applicable to our Larger Cities' was held at the joint session. Dr. August R. Hatton, the leader in the campaign for the new city manager charter issued by the State Department, argued for the affirmative and Attorney Bradley Hall, leader of the opposition in Cleveland, presented the negative side. The decision of the debate was left to each individual. However, several points of particular interest were discussed, such as: Is the plan acceptable? Are there a decent administration for a large city?"
Dr. Hatton pointed out the following as contribution of the city mana ger movement to municipal government:
"Has brought in a better grade of executive ability; has practically eliminated partisan politics from the executive departments; has secured a greater degree of efficiency in 'both legislative and executive branches' municipal campaigns have made the city manager plan is the first distinct advance toward democracy in municipal government."

On cross-examination he was questioned by attorneys for Oklahoma and the government in an effort to convince the State Department of Sellard's in his investigation of the Big Bend country where he spent fifty-nine days. His testimony is highly valuable to science as well as in valuable in the boundary case.

NEW PLAN FOR AD BUILDING
Chancellor and State Architects Consulted Monday
Chancellor Lindley, R. L. Gamble, state architect, and E. F. Gier, assistant state architect, held consultation Monday morning and also made a tour of inspection of the campus with regard to the placing of the new library provided for by the last year. A presentation of the Administration Building.
Plans are well along for the finishing of the Administration Building, but because of the inability to decide upon a site, not much is being done o far regarding the building of the library.
A proposal now being considered is to clean off the plateau on the north side of the Administration Building, and to build the addition only about half as far out as the foundation now extends. Then the main entrance would be on the north side, and it would open up a new view of the Stadium. And on each side of this building we would create new buildings that would greatly improve the appearance of the north side of the campus.
However, this plan is only suggested. No definite plan has been worked out.
