'KU Faces Lower Standards If Budget Is Cut'
54th Year, No.62
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TOPEKA — (UP) — Chancellor Franklin Murphy today said the "explosive expansion" of education in post-war years must generate some long-range financial planning by Kansas "or else we must compromise our educational standards."
He made a strong plea for far-sighted thinking on the part of the upcoming Kansas Legislature in budget hearings before Gov.-Elect George Docking.
Faced with a recommended cut of close to half-million dollars from his budget request, Chancellor Murphy said "I have come up here and seen some of these capital expansions cut off, some of them for the third year in a row."
People Want It
"I know they are needed . . . "in 10 years we will be overburdened and will have to either expand or compromise our standards.
He said it was his opinion the "people are prepared to support a program. They want it. What we have are services that benefit them directly. I think they are willing to pay for it."
Medical Dean Talks
"The Medical Center pays for 60 per cent of its operating budget." Dr. Wescoe said.
When asked "where do we get the money" by William Salome, tabbed as Docking's choice to head the Department of Administration, the chancellor replied: "Revenue raising is a business of the Legislature."
The session on the Medical Center took up the morning meeting, thus delaying the hearings on the KU budget until Friday. Chancellor Murphy said he would present KU's budget then.
Dean W. Clarke Wescoe of the the Medical School told Budget Committee that Kansas would spend $10,000 less of taxpayers funds to operate the big center in fiscal 1958.
ASC Lacks Quorum; Car Fines Discussed
The All Student Council lacked a quorum in the Senate Tuesday evening and was unable to pass bills on the leadership training conference and on excessive absences from ASC meetings.
Suez Important To British Life
"The Suez is one of Britain's lifelines," said R. H. Newall. British vice-consul at Kansas City, Mo., one of three speakers on the College Council of the United Nations program Tuesday in the Student Union.
Zvi Luft, Tel Aviv, Israel museum assistant and graduate student and Mohamed Kazem, Cairo, Egypt graduate student, also spoke. Mimeographed lists of current events concerning Israel and the Suez in chronological order were given to guests before the meeting.
"There was no time to be subtle." Mr. Newall said in defense of Britain's recent invasion of the Canal Zone. "Britain and France moved into Egypt alone. We took a long shot to prevent a big Middle East war. We kept Egypt from attacking Israel."
"The establishment of Israel was not for the best interest of the Arab or the Jew." Israel is just a part of the colonial plan," Kazem said. He stressed the great number of Arabs made homeless by the forming of Israel.
"The present government of Egypt is sometimes in defiance of UN resolutions and international law," said Luft. "Mr. Nasser thikks he can use the canal, an international waterway, to further his own purposes. Egypt wants to have her cake and eat it, too. She doesn't want force used against her but she is willing to use it against Israel and others."
500 Vote On Seating
Only 500 votes on the ASC referendum regarding saving of seats at next year's football games had been cast by 11 a.m. today. The polls in Fraser, Marvin and Strong halls and the Student Union will be closed at 5 p.m.

VIGILANTES AT WORK—Santa Claus came to town early today and seems to have gotten mixed up with the local vigilante committee. The grand 'ole man was found hanging in effigy in Fowler Grove early this morning. The dummy was taken from a chair in the Corbin Hall living room. "He was stolen some time ago," said Miss Dorothy Bird, housemother, "we don't know anything about it." Campus police are reported to be looking for the participants.
reported to be looking for the participants.
Reason for Fines
A committee was appointed to look into the trouble on the functioning of the council. Jim Schultz, Salina junior and ASC president, named to the committee: Carol Stockham, Hutchinson senior; Bill Wilson, Colby junior; Tom Van Dyke, Kansas City, Mo., freshman; Ted Barnes, Salina first-year law student, and Mary Jo Pugh, Ferguson, Mo., junior.
The reason behind campus auto registration and the fine-violation system is to place the welfare of pedestrians first and to have a fast method of checking car ownership, according to Ralph Varnum, Kansas City Mo., junior. Varnum attended the Traffic and Parking Committee meeting at which Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, explained the campus automobile situation.
Varnum said that one of the primary considerations behind traffic regulations was that 5,000 of the 8,000 students this year drive cars to the University. He said this was a much higher ratio and in a smaller area than would be found in a city of similar size.
Another consideration is that the University must make sure pedestrian students get to classes in the time allotted, Varnum said.
He said that Mr. Lawton pointed out that last year, without registration. 27 students had over five tickets by Dec. 6. This year only one had over five tickets.
Parking Zones Needed
Susie Stout, Wichita sophomore and member of the Opportunities Committee, said little progress had been made on an activity ticket for student wives and husbands. She said a meeting with the administration will be held soon to discuss possibilities.
He said parking zones became necessary for maintaining enough parking for students living off campus, disabled students and visitors.
About the $25 fine for failing to register, Varnum said the Traffic and Parking Committee recommended the registration to the Dean of Men and to the Chancellor, and asked them how they would enforce. They suggested the $25 fine and dismissal from school. The committee took the recommendation and incorporated in into the registration.
Fines, Varnum said, were actually the only means of controlling zones. A low fine allows students to take chances of not getting caught violating rules. Therefore, the fine must be high enough to enforce these rules.
Varnum said that with 5,000 cars it is increasingly necessary for campus police to associate a student with a car so they can readily identify the car with its owner.
The Charter Committee reported that A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg feels there is no cause to install a ticket exchange of an identification card for high school tickets for basketball games. High school admission is 50 cents. Mr. Lonborg had told the committee that the purpose of the exchange was to allow high school students to get into football games for $1.
Ticket Exchange
William L. Reed, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore resigned from the council and Roger Lewis Tuttle, Kansas City, Kan., second year law student was sworn in to replace him.
