Regents to discuss dorm fee hike
★ ★ ★ ★
A plea for more money was made to the Kansas Board of Regents by Wichita State University President Emory Lindquist at a Regents' meeting here this morning.
Wichita requests additional money
In the first part of a two day meeting Lindquist asked the Regents to change their reduction in operating fund requirements from $575,936 to approximately $276,000.
THE REGENTS HAD made public figures showing the decrease in the actual enrollment at Wichita State over the estimated 1936 enrollment. The decline was 639.
Lindquist explained the proposal by saying that he wanted to maintain a student-teacher ratio of one teacher per 19.2 students. He also said his requests for more money were within the guidelines laid down by the Kansas Legislative Council.
Lindquist's proposals will be considered at the end of the meeting tomorrow. The Regents expect other such proposals and will consider them all at one time.
THE REGENTS RELEASED a final head count of 55,525 students at the six state institutions.
This report was made by George B. Smith, chairman of the Regents enrollment evaluation. There are 83,213 at all institutions of higher learning, both public and private, in Kansas.
Pittsburg and Emporia were also heard from this morning.

MANHATTAN—A proposed annual increase of $75 per year in residence halls rate and the requested leave of absence of Provost James R. Surface will be considered Saturday by the Kansas Board of Regents.
CHANCELLOR W. CLARKE WESCOE said today he will appear before the Regents at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Manhattan.
The proposed rate increase in the halls would raise the 10 monthly payments from $70 to $77.50. Including a $12.50 per semester registration fee, this would raise the costs from $362.50 to $400 per semester.
Kansas State University was due to propose an identical increase today.
PROVOST SURFACE has applied for a leave to become a visiting professor at the Harvard School of Business. His leave, without pay, would be effective from September 1, 1967, to June 30, 1968.
Others requesting leaves of absence are:
Robin Fraser, associate professor of chemistry, for research for the British Ministry of Aviation in Essex, England. Leave would be without pay, effective Feb. 1, 1967, for one year.
FRANK H. KING, professor of economics, to go to Meton College, Oxford University. His leave without pay would be second semester, 1967.
M. Dale Kinkade, assistant professor of anthropology, to conduct research in linguistics for
the National Science Foundation. His leave without pay would be effective second semester, 1967.
ROBERT L. SMITH, professor of civil engineering, to become special assistant for water resources in the Office of Science and Technology for the U.S. Government. This would be effective Oct. 1, 1966, to May 31, 1967, and Smith would receive one-fifth salary.
Raymond Loehr, professor of civil engineering, to become a visiting professor at Cornell University. His leave without pay would be effective second semester, 1967.
Also on the agenda is the proposed organization of the University Press of Kansas to combine present operations at KU, K-State, and Wichita University. If passed it would:
- DISSOLVE UNIVERSITY of Kansas Press, effective July 1. 1967, with its equipment, rights and resources being transferred to the University Press of Kansas to be located and housed at KU.
- A board of trustees composed of the academic vice-presidents of the three participating universities would serve as the governing board of the press. The KU representative will be its chairman.
- Authorize the board of trustees to appoint a director and to establish staff positions within the budget of the press.
- AUTHORIZE THE TRUSTEES to appoint (Continued on page 3)
Vandalism marked past
KU—KSU rivalry has lost meanness
By JOHN KIELY
When KU and K-State come together there are two contests. Only one is visible.
Records are kept of the visible contests. For football they read:
KU, won 43; K-State, won 17,
three ties.
The invisible contests are not as systematically recorded. In the Kansan they read: "KSU Riot Costs 17 Frats Privileges," "Kansas State Cat returned by Council Representatives," and "Uncle Jimmy Painted Again."
SIXTY-TWO OF the last 63 years, KU and K-State have played football against one another. For almost as many years they have painted each other's statues, tried to swipe each other's mascots and torn down each other's goal posts.
PRANKS OF THE PAST
This "KS" appeared on the hill above Potter Lake last Spring in retaliation for the "KS" at K-State being changed to KU, by members of a KU fraternity.
One graduate recalled the old days as times of "meanness." He cited examples of raiding parties that visited both campuses looking for fights.
Through the years the style of harrassment changed until two years ago an Allen Field House held basketball game was stopped for officials to remove an electronically triggered set of signs which unfurled from the scoreboard to proclaim, "Kill Snob Hill."
"STUDENTS established circles around the campuses," he said. "They guarded that circle so you couldn't get out. You'd hide out until the crowd came up for the game the next day."
Woodruff thinks the now almost ten year old, jointly issued statement of K-State's President James McCain and KU's Chancellor Franklin Murphy stopped the vandalism.
Those who couldn't hide had their heads shaved.
"TODAY," began Laurence C. Woodruff, Dean of Students, "there is much less of this (harassment) than there used to be."
The statement said that anyone caught committing acts of vandalism would be automatically dismissed from school.
THINGS change. "K-State rivalry was always a stronger rivalry than the one with Missouri," said 1927 Law school graduate Louis Krings. Now,
PHOG ALLEN, former KU football and basketball coach said, "We never took the game as seriously as the K-State players. They had a feeling that we disliked them. It wasn't our big game. Missouri was. K-State always thought it was survival with them."
Bowen White, Shawnee Mission junior and head yell leader, says "The big rivalry in football is with MU. In basketball it's with K-State.
And if it wasn't survival for the athlete,it often was for the fans.
"When you beat a team too often," White added, "well, you can't get excited about putting salt in the wound."
K-State hasn't won this contest since 1955.
A 1929 gentleman's agreement between the two schools started after K-Staters mistook a carload of Wamego high school students for KU men. The Kansan reported: "The high school boys
