Fraser exhibits clean classrooms
New Fraser's classrooms have been cleaned.
Students attending classes in Fraser yesterday noticed the absence of extensive trash accumulations which, according to one janitor in Fraser, were ordered untouched the day after the building's March 6 opening.
"There is no prospect that janitor service can be improved," faculty members were told in the newsletter.
Because of insufficient funds and available labor, "things are dirty all over," said Harry Buchholz, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
Mimeographed notices urging students to "help keep (these) rooms attractive" were posted in Fraser classrooms during the weekend by the psychology, sociology, and anthropology departments.
Poise, personality, and beauty will be the judging qualifications for 35 queen candidates for the Kansas Relays, according to Larry Robinson, Iola junior and queen candidates committee chairman.

IN ADDITION, KU faculty members were told in a recent Faculty Newsletter that "smoking generally should be ruled out in all lecture-type classes. In a seminar-type class at which the instructor permits smoking, ash trays should be used and emptied at the end of the class."

Budget gain slight
KU asks tiny increase
By RICHARD LUNDQUIST
The increase in KU's fiscal 1968 state funds budget is modest in comparison with other Midwest schools.
KU's budget, increased by 9.4 per cent over last year, does not match up to increases of 67 per cent at Oklahoma University and 24 per cent at Missouri University.
THE IOWA BOARD of Regents is asking for a 49 per cent two year budget-boost for Iowa State, Iowa University and the State College of Iowa.
Nebraska, also on a two year basis, is seeking a 94 per cent budget hike.
Considering the modest budget increase, Raymond Nichols, Vice Chancellor of Finance, said, "We cannot move forward like we would like to, but we can operate on it."
One modification is that hiring of new faculty members cannot exceed a designated student-faculty ratio. This ratio was established at 15:1 by the Board of Regents and later changed to 20:1 by Gov. Robert Docking.
IN EXPLAINING the modest increase, Nichols said: "Our requests are pretty much limited by modifications laid down by the Board of Regents."
Nichols said that out of this ratio must also come administration and library employees.
ANOTHER LIMITATION is the amount set aside for operation
expenses such as electricity, water, telephones and maintenance.
Nichols said KU originally requested a 13.9 per cent increase.
The Board of Regents cut this figure to 11.3 per cent before Gov. Docking limited the final increase to 9:4 per cent.
"It is a reasonably adequate budget but it does not help our competitive standing nor does it allow for additional programs," said Nichols.
NICHOLS SAID money was not allowed for additions to the state
geological survey and for the purchase of a new drilling rig.
The Board of Regents also turned down a request for additional janitorial service.
The National Association of Physical Plant Administration estimates that each janitor should take care of 14,000 square feet. The average at KU is 45,000 square feet, Nichols said.
He said he knew Iowa and Oklahoma had budget formulas similar to KU's, but did not know about the Big Eight schools.
War poems read
A "Napalm Poetry Reading" sponsored by the Vietnam Committee last night presented recent poetry written on the Vietnam war interspersed with slides showing native children injured by U.S. napalm bombs.
The Kansas Union Forum Room was jammed for the presentation led by Robert Bly, Minnesota poet and guest lecturer.
"USUALLY POEMS ARE interspersed as an intensifier," Bly said. "In this case, they are used as a relaxer."
Bly was referring to the slides taken recently by Robert Pepper and published in "Ramparts Magazine." They showed graphically: a child with a severed forearm; a child with deep pitted burns on his body; and one with charred, disintegrated legs, still alive.
Bly said his purpose was to show the horror of civilian casualties resulting from U.S. use of napalm in bombing Vietnamese villages.
Poetry readings included selections by Bly, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Denise Levertov, Galway Kinnell, Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Mark Twain and Walt Whitman.
KU Poet-in-Residence David Ignatow presented some of his own works.
Spring, when a young man's fancy...

Got some free time? Walk down a KU residence hall corridor some afternoon . . .
Quarantine-Active Spring Fever.
I Like Ambiguous People.
Help Send a Girl to Boys' Town.
YES, THAT'S RIGHTbut as you walk keep an eye on the room doors. You'll see poems, signs, cartoons, newspaper clippings, almost anything, all designed for your reading and viewing pleasure.Now keep walking . . .
Come See a Happening—it's Free in Here.
Today is the Tomorrow We Worried About Yesterday.
Granny's Gross Service. Special Family Rates.
ONE WEEK ONLY! Large, lovely 5 x 7 child in Natural Color at an Incredibly low $1.49.
For those not interested an a $1.49 lovely child, a home-made ad on a room door at Ellsworth Hall offers such services as "orgies organized, computers verified, happenings staged, wars waged, marriages and divorces."
Much of what you'll see is in the form of home-made advertisements. Witness, for instance, an ad on a wing of McColum Hall:
Back at McCollum you can get "free advice in love, sex, math, interplanetary travel, drinking, and all knowledge under the sun" according to a sign on one door.
SOME DOOR SIGNS OFFER no more than warnings,however:
"Warning—Buried Telephone Cable" or "Studying Causes Cancer" or "I'm older than I look, so watch it girls," for instance.
"If you have a weak heart do not enter this room—a teenager lives here," cautions one sign.
"One-way streets are a Communist confusion plot," another says.
IN ADDITION, YOULL BE cautioned against radioactive materials, explosives, and trespassing. "Help Save Water—Shower With Your Steady." urges another sign.
As you walk down the corridors, you'll be told to "visit our new bar across the alley," to keep left by an arrow pointing to the right, and to "please use the other door" by signs outside rooms having a single entrance.
ON A MORE INTELLECTUAL level, perhaps, are the poems posted for those having more reading time:
"Life of man is like a journey.
He must walk on its roads
Whether the accommodations
Are good or bad."
Or, in a lighter vein:
"Gentlemens To please 'em . . . don't tease 'em
Just seize 'em and squeeze 'em."
FOR THE HALL WALKER with even more time, however, newspaper articles may sometimes be found posted on room doors. On a men's wing at McCollum Hall, for instance, you can read a news story about an airline stewardess whose inflatable underwear inflated uncontrollably as the airliner gained altitude on takeoff.
For those preferring slightly less risque reading, other signs say "God is Alive and Well in Mexico City" or "The Bible Says So" or "For Use of B and G Only During Process of Moving."
PERHAPS THE MOST practical reading matter available on residence hall room doors is the "Newcomer's Guide to the City of Lawrence" or a "You'll Get Yours Too" warning posted above a $16 campus traffic ticket or maybe even a notice reading "In the event of atomic attack, all rules against praying in this school are indefinitely suspended."
And perhaps you'd like to stop by McCollum Hall again on your way home and read the notice saying "This Sign Wasn't Here Last Week."
