Budget Cut May Increase KU Fees
If University salary increases are not restored to the current budget proposal, KU may have to increase student fees and cut down services to students, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University said yesterday.
The governor's budget committee recently removed a 7 per cent ($330,325) proposed increase of salaries for faculty, administrative staff, library staff, and some research personnel.
The increase was proposed by the Kansas Board of Regents.
"In order to keep our faculty members—to remain competitive—we would have to give a salary increase. In order to gain an increase we could do a number of things. We could reduce services (close the library earlier, not buy books, equipment, etc.) or we could raise fees." Mr. Nichols said.

He explained that the university does not want to do these things but would be faced with a moral choice if the budget does not provide for salary increases. KU would have to settle for second rate teachers or provide good teachers at the expense of the student.
Moral Choice
"We are confident, however, that the people of Kansas don't want this. We are confident that they will continue to desire adequate support for their University and seek it through their elected representatives in the legislature." Mr. Nichols said.
Mr. Nichols said that the administration has hopes that the governor and legislature will restore cuts.
A recent study by the Board of Control for the State of Florida shows the following ranking for KU for the 1957-58 year in regards to faculty salaries:
Full professor, 21st of the 23 institutions studied; associate professor, 19th of 23 institutions; assistant professor, 14th of 23 institutions and instructor, 21st of 23 institutions.
A second study conducted by the National Education Association shows KU to be below the median yearly salaries computed from all American state universities, by the following amounts:
Full professor, $867; associate professor, $271; assistant professor,
$252; and instructor, $550.
KU Lags Big 8
Mr. Nichols said that KU has not caught up during the current year.
"We received an increase in salaries of 6.6 per cent in the current budget. At the same time Nebraska increased its salaries by 17.4 per cent, Iowa State by 14.4 per cent, Oklahoma by 15 per cent, Oklahoma State by 11 per cent and Colorado by 8.3 per cent," he said.
Mr. Nichols said that the eventual goal of the administration is to reach the national average in regards to yearly salaries paid faculty members.
"Spectrum" Extends Manuscript Deadline

AUFS Speaker Says Japanese Want Neutrality
An authority on Japan said today the Japanese are working to gain a more powerful position as a neutral country and are trying to lessen the authority Americans have in moving U. S. troops off and on Japanese bases.
Lawrence Olson, a member of the American Universities Field Staff studying and reporting on Japan, told students in a reporting II class:
"The Japanese feel they can't get along without U. S. military aid on bases in Japan. But at the same time the Japanese, especially those in the minority Socialist Party, feel they can't get along with the extended American control over U. S. armed forces moving to and from those bases."

Stalled Auto Causes Spontaneous Pep Rally
By Joan Jewett
What appeared to be a basketball rally at 3 p.m. yesterday wasn't really a rally.
The spontaneous honking of automobile horns from the Chi Omega fountain to Bailey Hall was inspired by impatient drivers, not impetuous fans.
Car Stalls First Time
It all started when a coed drove around the fountain and stalled her car engine in front of Lindley Hall. Students pouring out into the sunshine from their 2 p.m. classes spotted a tall basketball player on the sidewalk across the street.
"Beat Texas Tech" they yelled to him. At that moment the car behind the stalled car started honking. The girl sat helplessly realizing that she had flooded her car. Oncoming cars stretched into a line circling the fountain. More drivers honked and more boys yelled "Beat Texas Tech."
There was a mighty screen of smoke from the exhaust of the lead car. Mack the Knife's gal was on her way to racking up 500 points for the ole' team.
Second Deaf of Car
Her car lurched forward a few feet threatening to stop. She set her jaw, shifted all her weight to her right foot and bore down on the gas pedal.
Cars rolled slowly behind her. A few more forward jerks and... oops, too much gas again.
Second Death of Car
Other drivers were no longer satisfied with horn honking. Irate men leaned from their cars shouting, "What's trouble," "Move it," "Texas Tech, what the heck, I'm in a hurry."
The rabble rouser, pretending to be undaunted by her misfortune, stared straight ahead at the "No Parking" sign. Someone in the painfully long, slow blur walking past would surely recognize her, she thought.
Police to the Rescue
A motorcycle policeman came riding up from behind. The honking and shouting continued while the uniformed men conferred. The mounted policeman proceeded down the Drive.
A campus policeman stepped briskly from Hoch and came smiling compassionately and shaking his head in sympathy. The girl's face flushed. She rolled down her window and removed her coat.
The foot patrolman bent to open the right door of her car to speak to her and stood stupified as he
groped for the doorhandle which wasn't there. She leaned over, rolled down the window and told him the handle had come off in a sideswipe.
With even more embarrassment she realized that this story wasn't likely to impress him with her ability to get out of the iam.
Building and Grounds Give Aid
The kindly cop motioned to the driver of a Building and Grounds truck somewhere in the line behind. The driver maneuvered out and nudged in behind the perspiring cood.
"Sock 'er into low" was the order,
"and we'll get 'er outa here."
Her car crept along in front of the truck; the motor turned over and a blast of blue smoke screened the driver behind.
"Rally, Rally" went the cry down the campus. The car moved again
"It must be a car from Texas Tech," someone said. "Yeah, and built by a hell of an engineer," paraphrased a buddy.
and word got around that it was not a rally—just a woman driver.
She was moving. Sideliners cheered and motorists relaxed their frowns and let their shoulders drop forward a bit. The crawl was nearly normal.
Third Stall for Car
The harassed girl reached for a cigarette as her car rolled on its own power toward the information booth. But before she could get a light her car had stalled again. The false start caught other drivers unprepared for the sudden stop. Brakes slammed and screeched while bumpers clashed. The driver of a new car opened his red door and jumped furiously to the street ready to
pounce verbally onto the driver behind. He was met with two clenched fists.
Horns honked again. Students piled up waiting to cross the intersection. Heads popped out from the front windows of Eailley Hall. The motorcycle cop roared over to the curb, parked his cycle on the sidewalk and asked the driver now behind her to push. He agreed to get her off the Drive and around the corner onto Mississippi.
"Watch out, it's that dame again"
Car Becomes Aggressive
The policeman with his back to the troublemaker rushed toward the intersection to gesture to oncoming traffic. The volunteer pusher, getting a bit rambunctious by now, didn't see that the cop wasn't in the center circle. Around the corner came both cars at the top speed limit and whoosh, the girl's car brushed his trouser leg causing him to convert his hand gestures to gyrations from the waist. With a frightened look he tried to leap to one side and instead climbed an imaginary wall.
He landed clear of the car, but in contacting earth his heel skidded and once aagin he floundered for and won his balance.
Students moved on now saying: "That rally won't score any points against Texas."
"No, but she ought to get 400 points for routing the cops instead of 500 for hitting one."
The girl glided around the corner and hit on all eight on the downhill grade. She looked back in time to see the policeman, not smiling now, but still shaking his head and brushing his pants.
