W.L. BURDICK HELPS RECODIFY U.S. LAWS
Revising Federal Statutes Will Take a Year, Vice-Chancellor Says
Such a Work Long Needed
E. C. Little Kansas Congress man, Chairman of Committee In Charge of Work
The consolidation, codification and revision of the United States statutes, a work which will consume more than a year's time has been started by Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University, and professor in the School of Law.- Doctor Burdick was appointed reviewer of statutes by the House of Representatives committee on revision of the laws last June, and the Senate had approved the object of the revision as set forth by Doctor Burdick, is to place the general and permanent laws of the United States into logical arrangement, and finally to publish the whole in a single official volume. This is a work that the government has long needed, according to Doctor Burd-
LAST REVISION IN 1878
The last revision of the United States statutes was completed in 1878, and since that time twenty-three additional volumes of laws have been published which have not been consolidated with the laws enacted prior to that time.
When finished, the new volume will be entitled "The Laws of the United States of America," and in the words of Doctor Burdick "it will be the big thing ever published." It will contain 10,000 sections and will cost the government $11,000 to publish, Doctor Burdick said. He estimates that the work takes twenty-fifth finished. He expects it to a full year to complete the job.
Doctor Burdick is not alone in the work, as practically the entire committee on revision is its assistants in one way or another. None of these men, however, are engaged in actual work of condensing and revising the statutes. Each of the twenty or more members of Burdick's work as it progresses, and look for errors of fact and typography.

Chase among the workers in Edward J. Harvard and the second Kansas district, who is a graduate of the University. Congressman Little has the distinction of being one of the committee on revision of the laws.
The revised laws as they will appear when Doctor Burdick has finished his work, will be presented to Congress in the form of a bill to be re-enacted. Congressman Little will introduce the bill at the present session of Congress. It will then be placed on the calendar and it is expected that it will come up for passage by the time the revision is effected.

Schools of Fine Arts Organize Council
The two divisions of the School of Fine Arts have been organized into one body to be known as the Fine Arts Council. The music division has been so far removed from the painter's profession, and two divisions have been unable to work together but now since they both are located in the Administration building they have consolidated. One councillor is elected from each division who acts as the president of the council. Meetings will be held monthly. Entertainment will be given periodically for members of the two departments.
