Senate Unit OKs 5 Per Cent Hike In Faculty Raises
Wednesday, March 20, 1957
The Senate Ways and Means Committee Tuesday recommended for passage a bill granting the additional 5 per cent increase in salaries of state colleges and KU requested by the Board of Regents.
If the bill is approved, $670,000 will be available, with KU receiving $240,000 of the total.
"Normally the recommendations of the Senate Ways and Means Committee are accepted by both houses," Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said today.
"Tremendous Relief"
"This will be a tremendous relief to our truly critical condition" he said. "Although this bill will aid us greatly in our efforts to get replacements, we will still rank on the bottom of Big Seven scales if other universities get the additional funds they have requested from their legislatures."
"Even if the bill is passed, it will be only a stopgap help. Every other school in the Big Seven has requests for at least 10 per cent for next year."
Snow Hall Addition
When the building was built in 1930, it was planned for 5,000 students.
"There simply isn't room enough now that we have an enrollment of 8,000." Mr. Nichols said.
"Colorado tops the list with an 18 per cent raise asked," Mr. Nichols said. "Big Ten schools have asked their legislatures for an average increase of 18 per cent, which points out the seriousness of our situation."
A Board of Regents request for $100,000 for a pipe organ for the new music and dramatics arts building was turned down by the committee.
The committee also recommended a $50,000 appropriation for the University to be used for planning an addition to Snow Hall. The University is planning an addition to the north and west sides of the building due to the overload of the facilities of the building.
The request was part of $400,-000 requested for a compressor, seating facilities of the recital hall, stage equipment and lighting, three practice organs and a pipe organ.

Rally For The Team!
The KU bus, followed by cheerleaders and convertibles carrying the basketball team, will lead a rally-parade at 12:30 p.m. Thursday when the team leaves for the NCAA tournament this weekend in Kansas City.
"The players have worked unbelievingly hard for a long time to earn this departure for Kansas City" said Jim Bickley, Kansas City, Mo., senior, head cheerleader. "KU students can show their appreciation for the thrills they have furnished us by giving them a good sendoff."
The rally-parade will assemble in front of the Student Union and drive west on Jayhawk Boulevard to the circle, north on West Campus Road to 11th, and down Missouri to 9th. At 9th and Missouri, the motorcada will turn east and go to Massachusetts where it will turn north and go across the Kaw River bridge to the Turnpike interchange.
Bickley said there will be 10 convertibles to carry the cheerleaders, team, and coaches. He said anyone having a car to enlarge the parade is welcome to attend.
"The impression is something printed on the retina of the eye and painted by the artist," Dr. Hamilton, a professor of art history and curator of modern art at Yale, said in explaining impressionistic painting.
Campus police will escort the motorcade from the campus to the Turnpike interchange.
"It is similar to a photograph to

Artists Painted Real World; Later They Used Imagination
Two nineteenth century "impression" artists painted things the way they found them, but later they painted things as they wanted to see them, George H. Hamilton told an audience Tuesday night at the Humanities Lecture.
"The impressionists attempted to fit the scene exactly to the dimensions of the canvas," Dr. Hamilton said. "They felt they had to anchor the point of view in the picture to some definite point in space.
the extent that the photographer decides what to photograph," he said.
Using slides of pictures by Manet and Cezanne, two of the foremost impressinists, Dr. Hamilton showed how the artists tried to pinpoint a scene in the exact time and place.
Dr. Hamilton showed slides of later works by Manet & Ozaune, that show less stress on reality and more stress on observation of a scene.
"Impressionist paintings express climate, space, place and time. They reduce the present to a precise, distinct moment in time and space."
"These later paintings showed the sum of all retinal perceptions," he said.
"They are a sum of all positions in space and an enduring rather than instantaneous moment in time."

Rock Chalk Tickets Will Be Reserved
"All tickets for Rock Chalk Revue will be reserved," Wallace Richardson, Park Ridge, Ill., junior and publicity chairman, said today.
The Rock Chalk Revue staff feels reserving seats will be one way of assuring a seat for people who are planning to attend, he said.
Tickets will be on sale Wednesday, March 27, in the Student Union and at the information booth.
Richardson also said there will be no block seat saving. If an organization wishes to sit in one location all the tickets must be purchased at one time.
KU Traffic Bill Passes In Senate
A bill passed by the State Senate and now before the House of Representatives will change campus parking and traffic violations to misdemeanors instead of infractions of University rules if approved.
The University has had no authority from the state Legislature to charge fines for parking and traffic violations. The bill introduced by Sen. D. S. Hults of Lawrence, would give the Board of Regents power to delegate this authority to University administrators.
The Student Court would lose jurisdiction over campus parking and traffic violations and violators would take appeals to the Lawrence police court.
Calls For Impounding Cars
Anohter provision allows for the impounding of improperly parked vehicles.
The bill reads: "The cost of such abating and impounding shall be a lien against the motor vehicle until paid by the owner or his representative."
If the owner does not pay fines and the cost of impounding, the vehicle may be sold to get the costs.
This is not a common practice under most traffic laws.
See Three Objections
"We see three main objections to the bill," commented Larry Loftus, Olathe third-year law student, and Neal Wyrick. Leavenworth second-year law student.
"1. University administrators could enforce a lien on a student's car which could result in its sale because of the violation.
"2. No provision is made for the students to have a voice in any phase of traffic administration.
"3. The bill gives the Board of Regents broad arbitrary powers by failing to define limits of power."
Campus Groups To Support Desegregation
Two off-campus organizations, the Lawrence League for the Promotion of Democracy, and the Lawrence Ministerial Alliance, also offered assistance.
Representatives from 21 campus organizations Tuesday night resolved to support the Group of the Improvement of Human Relations and offered to help in its efforts to persuade Lawrence restaurant owners to desegregate.
The pledges for support were made at a meeting in the Student Union attended by 120 students and faculty members.
Offer Their Support
Among the larger organizations to pledge support were the All Student Council, the Student Religious Council, the International Club, Allied Greek-Independent, and the Associated Women Students.
A $25 check was presented to the group by the Student Religious Council to be used to further its activities.
Organized houses which pledged support included eight University halls, three sororities, two fraternities, and two co-ops.
ASC president James Schultz, Salina junior, and Richard A. Goldsbv, Kansas City, Mo., senior, explained the ASC plan to poll University students to determine their attitudes toward desegregation in Lawrence restaurants.
Goldsbys said students will be asked whether "abandonment of segregation by any particular restaurant will cause it to lose your patronage."
Volunteers To Poll
The poll will be conducted by volunteers from the student body, Goldsby said, and is expected to be completed by the middle of April.
Stanley A. Murrell, Lindsborg junior and co-chairman of the group said the Lawrence League for the Promotion of Democracy will join the desegregation movement by organizing small mixed groups of Lawrence residents.
Like the student groups, Murrell said, the LLPD groups will visit the restaurants and attempt to persuade the owners to desegregate.
Alderson Will Discuss Duties
Donald K. Alderson, dean of men,
will speak on the duties of his office at the regular monthly dinner meeting of Phi Delta Kappa, honorary education fraternity at 6 p.m.
Thursday, in the English Room of the Student Union.
ASC Members In Favor Of Restaurant Desegregation
an informal poll of members present at the All Student Council meeting Tuesday night showed a 16 to 1 majority would not let desegregation in Lawrence restaurants affect their patronage.
A majority present also said there should be some form of polling soon on student opinion on the restaurant segregation issue.
Voting on ASC Bill No. 16, a plan to enforce seat saving rules at football games, and approval of new appointments to the Student Court was postponed until the next meeting Tuesday.
President, Jim Schultz, Salina junior, announced that final plans are being completed for the regional NSA conference to be held here April 12 and 13.
Ted Barnes, Salina graduate student and chairman of the committee to obtain activity tickets for wives of students reported tickets will be available next fall and will admit the wives to all dramatic and theater events. They will cost five dollars.
Art Films Will Be Shown Thursday
Three films on ancient Mexican and Central American art will be shown in the lecture hall of the Museum of Art at 7:15 and 9 p.m. Thursday.
They are "The Maya of Ancient and Modern Yucatan," "Maya Through the Ages," and "Pre-Columbian Mexican Art."
