KU Second to K-State In Building Allotment
The University came out second best in the State Board of Regents' building committee report which was approved by an eight-to-one vote Friday morning.
Of the seven state institutions provided for in the report, Kansas State received the largest single allotment with $6,122,000. KU was second with an allotment of $5,500,000. The building programs of both schools composed 75 per cent of the total program.
The report, which is the regents' long range building proposal to the Kansas Legislature, is composed of two phases.
The first phase calls for completion of an $11,236,000 state-wide building program in 1964. The regents have requested that $4,300,000 he allotted KU for three projects in this phase: a power plant addition, Watson Library addition, and a new engineering building.
The finance figures were obtained from the state budget director who based them upon the estimated resources in the Kansas Educational Building Fund for the fiscal years 1960 through 1964.
Completion dates for the various buildings were obtained by the regents from the state architect's office.
The University was provided for as follows:
A power plant addition, $600,000,
Sept. 1, 1961; Engineering Building,
$1,900,000, March 1, 1963; Watson
Library addition, $1,800,000, Jan. 1,
1964.
A special provision of the report requests that the following amounts be made available from the Educational Building Fund for the fiscal year of 1961:
Power plant addition, $600,000, and the Engineering Building. $450,000.
The second phase includes "the construction as soon as possible after the completion of the foregoing buildings of the following structures:"
Clement H. Hall, chairman of the State Board of Regents, estimated that approximately $15,000,000 will go into the Educational Building Fund during the five-year program. The EBF is financed by a $3/4 mill state-wide property tax.
An addition to Mallot Hall for chemistry and physics, $500,000; an addition to Lindley Hall. $700.000.
The two largest items in the Kansas State estimate for phase one were:
Physical science building, $2,700,-000; Dairy and Poultry building, $1,460.000.
The building committee report will now be forwarded to a budget hearing committee and the governor for their recommendations.
Historian Critical
Publications on Ideas' Hogwash'
A historian of mechanics and technology told a convocation of engineering students today that practically everything published about creativity is "undiluted howwash."
Lynn T. White Jr., professor of history at UCLA, said he got the idea for his speech, "How Do We Get Original Ideas," after reading an article in The Scientific American on creativity and its cultivation. He spoke at 11 a.m. today in the University Theatre.
He said a book entitled "Sources of Invention" is the only exception to the "hogwash." Prof. White said
Prof. White said creativity is not easy to recognize. He said even first letter alphabetization was not considered until the first century B.C.
Prof. Lynn-T. White Jr.
Prof. White said, "Humans are incased in a shell of presuppositions. However, the moment of mutation in scholarship has come. Scholars are finally asking new questions and challenging old axioms."
this book "shows all current generalizations on the subject of creativity are nonsense.
"Without the critical spirit, alphabetization, as we know it today would not exist," he said.
"The ordering of vast masses of factual information would not be possible without abbabetization."
Prof. White said humans have too many fixed ideas which shackle their minds.
"We on the faculties would like to say we teach our students to think," he said.
"There is a darker side to this. We teach our students to think-in the currently accepted style. What we really should do is to form minds which are not shackled by their own education," he said.
Prof. White will speak at 8 tonight in Fraser Theater. His speech, the first Humanities Lecture of the year, is entitled "The Dynamism of Western Medieval Technology."
Wisconsin Hits Bias Clauses
Pressure is mounting over discrimination by fraternities at the University of Wisconsin, the Intercollegiate Press reports.
The University regents have approved an action of the faculty on the so-called "1960 clause."
The faculty recently reaffirmed its determination to deny approval to any fraternity or sorority "which has in its national or local constitution or pledge instructions a discriminatory clause," but moved the deadline for removal of such clauses from July 1, 1960, to Sept. 10, 1960.
The 1960 deadline was set in 1952 by the faculty, which urged the houses with restrictive membership clauses to make a determined effort to amend such clauses.
A proposal by the Wisconsin Interfraternity Council asking for limited extensions beyond 1960 "if a local chapter can show that it is exerting a real and determined effort to secure elimination not only of its discriminatory clause, but of all discriminatory practices in the selection of its members," was rejected by the faculty.
'Kitchen Sink' Satellite Is Hurled Into Orbit
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) A 60-ton Tuno II rocket roared in- to space today with a "kitchen sink" satellite and the National Space Agency said the multi-experiment satellite had gone into orbit.
The satellite weighed 91.5 pounds and carried instruments designed to perform several fundamental weather and radiation research experiments.

Ike Recommends Disarmament Savings Go to Needy Nations
ABILENE, (UPI) — President Eisenhower proposed today that financial savings from a disarmament plan ultimately agreed upon by the East and West should be channeled quickly into a vast international program for helping the less-developed nations.
The chief executive reinforced his idea of aid-over-arms as the best way to peace in a speech given at the ground-breaking ceremonies of the Eisenhower Presidential Library here in the town where he spent his boyhood.
Highest Aspiration
"No other aspiration," the President said, "dominates my own being as much as this: That the nations of
East and West will find dependable, self-guaranteeing methods to reduce the vast and essentially wasteful expenditures for armaments, so that much of the saving may be used in a comprehensive and effective effort for world improvement."
Following his oft-favored theme that the big nations of the world have grown so awesomely powerful that war is unthinkable, the president's speech was free of specific criticism of Russia and her cold war tactics. Instead, Eisenhower stressed the need for "understanding and wisdom" between nations.
Sees Booming Economy
As the less developed nations progress toward more plurable economics and higher living standards, Eisenhower envisioned new record peaks for the American economy.
"The world must learn to work together," he added, "or finally it will not work at all."
"Burdensome surpluses — even those of wheat—will disanbear. Indeed, the world may then be threatened with very real threats in food, energy, minerals.
The President flew from Washington to Schilling AFB at Salina this morning and arrived in Abilene by helicopter. He will spend the night in Abilene and then make a jet flight back to the nation's capital tomorrow morning in time to spend as much of his 69th birthday as possible with his family.
ment came that the launching had been successful.
The vehicle, protecting its delicate 91.5 pound satellite with an aerodynamic shroud at the top of its 70-toft length, rose gracefully from its pad in a cradle of flame at 9:31 a.m. (Lawrence time). It climbed along a steep path under the power of its 150,000 pound thrust booster.
Headed Northeast
The satellite was dubbed "kitchen sink" because it is loaded with "everything but the kitchen-sink" in the way of a number of experimental devices.
The rocket headed to the northeast, seeking an orbit that would fluctuate 50 degrees north and south of the equator—or over all of the United States except Alaska.
If all went well, the satellite would go into an elliptical orbit of 330 miles perigee, or point closest to the earth, and 710 miles at apogee, the farthest point.
The highly sophisticated moonlet is designed to study radiation balance, Lyman-alpha, X-rays, cosmic rays, micrometeorites, exposed solar cells and space temperatures. The satellite carried two transmitters—one powered by chemical batteries and operating on 20 megacycles. The latter will transmit data on six of the seven experiments.
Radio Will Cut Off
An automatic timing device aboard would cut off the solar transmitter one year from today, thus releasing the radio frequency for other purposes. The chemical batteries for the second transmitter will expire long before then.
