Growing Pains
The University expects to have an enrollment of 16.400 by 1970, which is almost double what it is now. This means that the present facilities will have to be substantially increased in the next 12 years.
The question seems to be whether or not the expansion program can keep up with the increase in enrollment. According to Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, the housing program is at the present time falling behind. Classroom facilities seem adequate at the present time, but could also easily fall behind the pace of the increasing enrollment.
If KU is to remain an institution open to all who can meet the requirements, it must in some way cope with the problem of providing adequate facilities for the ever-increasing enrollment.
This is a state operated institution, therefore it is up to the state of Kansas to see to it that the necessary funds for expansion are provided. This will mean that the legislators are going to have to find somewhere to dig up the money. This will involve another problem.
The people of Kansas don't especially care for an increase in taxes. But they do want good educational facilities in their state. They are going
to have to decide between the lesser of the two evils, more taxes or inadequate education, if the question of a tax increase comes up.
There are other methods of providing for more funds, such as increasing the tuition. This will probably be one of the methods used, and that will mean a rise in the cost of a college education.
Another possible method of coping with the problem is to hold down the enrollment. This could be done by making the entrance requirements much stiffer, therefore fewer students would be able to enroll.
If the tuition is raised and the entrance requirements become higher, a lot of young people will be denied the chance to obtain a college education. This is undesirable from any angle it is approached. Lack of money is a problem for a lot of people, and many high school educations leave a lot to be desired.
The problem is real and requires a lot of thought. The present student body at KU may feel it has little to worry about along this line since the problem is of the future. But in 20 years or so, many of the present students will have sons and daughters of college age. Then they will feel the effects of the now future problem.

Reciprocal Trade, Good Or Bad?
In President Eisenhower's state of the union message and later in a rally for foreign aid there was an appeal for a 5-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Act.
Congressmen don't share Mr. Eisenhower's interest in reciprocal trade because they are in a mood to cut foreign aid, in which they include reciprocal trade.
The Reciprocal Trade program, a plan allowing for trade between nations to be at lower tariffs and quotas, was established about 25 years ago with several short renewals since then. Every time it is renewed there is a fight between those who feel the act helps the United States' economy and those who feel the act hurts prices of American goods.
Those who dislike the program say the lack of tariffs or quotas fills internal markets with foreign goods, which lowers the profit margin of United States' goods, because U.S. goods have to compete with the foreign goods with lower prices or better quality. Sometimes this forces industry to close down or offer fewer jobs.
The South, which used to be sound backers of reciprocal trade, are against it now, because industry has moved to the South. To protect their prices, the South will want high tariffs and
quotas on similar goods coming into the country.
Mining industries will want the same kind of agreement since they want to keep their prices protected on materials they produce.
Those who want an extension of the Reciprocal Trade program say that by not trading freely with Western nations, the United States might lose her Western markets to the Russians.
About one-fourth of U.S. exports go to Western Europe, and if the United States offers nothing but high tariffs and lower quotas to the foreign nations, Western Europe might also tighten their import quotas. With the growing economic unity in Western Europe, they might be able to afford to do such a thing.
Also, those who want the extension say, that with reciprocal trade agreements the United States economy is strengthened by offering more markets for U. S. goods and more jobs in the United States.
The original reciprocal trade agreement was sold on the merits that no American workman would be hurt by the agreement. This is a fallacy, because some persons are put out of work or get lower incomes because of the agreement. But the value of the trade to the entire economy might make up for the relatively few that are hurt.
Will History Repeat Itself?
The Russian government was recognized officially by the United States until the Russian revolution and then Russia wasn't recognized until 1933. The Chinese government was recognized by the United States until the Nationalist government was overthrown and Communist China hasn't been recognized officially to this date. Will history repeat itself and the United States come to recognize Communist China just as it did Russia?
The economic hardships caused by the depression of the 30's brought about a change in the United States' relationship with Russia. Previously, the United States had failed to recognize the Moscow regime because it refused to pay its debts, would not recognize American claims for losses in the revolutionary disturbances, and attempted to overthrow the United States with subversive propaganda.
Doug Parker
The United States recognized Russia to open up markets for the United States' sagging trade. Russia readily accepted trade with the United States and agreed to refrain from Communist propaganda. There never was any agreement over claims and debts owed the United States.
The anticipated commerce with Russia failed to materialize in the 30's and Russia broke the pledge of discontinuing propaganda.
Will economic pressure force the United States into recognizing Red
If events happen in a historical parallel and the United States does recognize Red China, it must surely be apparent that the United States would gain very little, just as it did in the 30's.
China? The United States foreign markets might become smaller and force it to export goods to Red China to keep the economy healthy. Already many foreign governments have recognized Red China to help their economies.
By studying the scales of a rainbow trout, scientists can tell how old the fish is; whether it lived in a stream or a lake, and how long; and, if the trout is a female, how often it has spawned. Growth rings resembling those of a tree provide the information.
The only thing gained would be the propaganda in favor of the United States by showing the world that we're not so naive as to overlook a nation of 600 million people.

There are 14,000 hotels in the United States, ranging in size from 10 to 3,000 rooms, according to the American Hotel Association. Most of the hotels are small business enterprises; the average has 96 rooms.
Though its relatives vanished from the earth a hundred million years ago, the lizardlike tuatara survives on islets of New Zealand, the National Geographical Society says.
Several recent theories suggest the head of a comet is an aggregation of frozen gases with small meteoritic particles imbedded within.
The United States capital was moved from New York City to Washington in 1790.

Quotes From The News
WASHINGTON — House speaker Sam Rayburn (D- Tex.) on the President's disability agreement with Vice President Richard M. Nixon
"I don't see how the vice president can exercise the powers and duties of the presidency without taking the oath as President. After he once takes it, I don't see how the President can reclaim the office."
NEW YORK—David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers Union, speaking before the Economic Club of New York:
"This administration must not make the mistake of 1930, 1931, and
1932 in delaying too long the forceful action needed to curtail the growing speed and gravity of the current decline."
WASHINGTON — Richard A. Mack, in a letter to President Eisenhower resigning his post as a federal communications commissioner following threat of legal proceedings and impeachment;
"I feel in my heart that I have done no wrong and my conscience is clear."
"Wrong-way" Corrigan flew the Atlantic in 1938.
