KU Prepares—

been confronted with the situation for many years but to a much less degree than today.
Few realize it, but eight years ago KU had but one dormitory, Corbin. Corbin was built in 1923 when the enrollment of KU was 3,492. Before 1955, Corbin housed 130 women. The University-owned dormitory facilities for single students were about nil, Mr. Wilson said.
The big boom in housing came after World War II when the University was flooded with war veterans.
War surplus dormitories were found as far away as Texas and brought to the campus. Oread Hall, housing 160 men, was assembled in 1946. At one time the east section of Memorial Stadium was converted into McCook Hall for 48 men.
1955 was the big year for KU housing. That year Carr-Orthle- Hall was occupied for the first time housing 100 men its first year. The same year Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall opened with 450 residents.
Mr. Wilson said four of KU's residence halls have been made possible by benefactions from Mr. and Mrs. Joseph R. Pearson, who have given KU more than $500,000.
IN THE PAST, dormitory construction at KU depended on a 100 per cent appropriation by the Legislature, or 100 per cent through gifts, a procedure that did not produce the needed student housing, Mr. Wilson said. The example of the Pearsons donating a large sum of money influenced the legislation which created the statewide dormitory fund levy to make available "down payments" to all state schools, he said.
Mr. Wilson explained that the

ThriftyChecks cost but a few pennies each, can help you save many dollars on Income Tax Day—and every day of the year when paying personal and household bills.
Lawrence's Most Modern Bank
University's only way to gain additional money for dormitory needs is through gifts or more state funds.
"With the University able to rely on a combination of gifts, tax funds, and borrowing power to finance dormitory construction, the system can be enlarged in a planned manner, although not as rapidly as many would like," Mr. Wilson recently said in the KU Alumni Magazine.
DOUGLAS COUNTY STATE BANK
Mr. Wilson said the city of Lawrence has a great deal to do with the future expansion of KU. "We think and have tried to say that Lawrence has a great opportunity and responsibility for developing housing for enrollment in the future," he said.

Government Controls News In Iran, Dean Marvin Says
"Two years ago, I would have been less hesitant to tell you how journalism looks in Iran . . . If I had spent only three weeks there, I might have considered myself an expert, but I was there nine months."
Burton W. Marvin, dean of the school of journalism and Fulbright lecturer in Iran last year, was speaking to the International Club Friday on "How Journalism Looks 7,000 miles from home."
IN IRAN, he explained, we had to wait until the government was ready to release the news before we had any idea of the dimension or real importance of rumors we heard.
"As Americans in Iran, we felt that we were in something of a vacuum."
"People have a way of getting excited, no matter who they are, and when the news is controlled by the state, rumors often grow which are all out of proportion to the facts."
In enlarging on the freedom and the responsibility of the press in general, Dean Marvin stated, "The individual in this world is sacred as an individual. If we accept this—if each individual feels he is sacred, and if he is a responsible individual — he must feel that way about others.
"In an ideal society, the individual has a right to express himself, but must be held responsible for the
way he expresses himself. In order to be responsible, the individual must have facts. And in order for the individual to have facts, someone must communicate the information."
DEAN MARVIN pointed out that the whole responsibility does not lie on the press, however.
"The reader is fooling himself if he thinks a single newspaper should inform him about the whole world. The individual must take some initiative in informing himself — he must develop a habit of reading a variety of publications."
He said that the coverage of foreign news is often inadequate in American papers, but pointed out that there is not enough space for each paper to print every important thing which is happening in every part of the world.

of interpreting all foreign news according to our feelings of the moment — they often tend to show foreign events in a good light only if they conform to current foreign policy.
"None of us are unbiased, but we must try to be fair. It's a difficult ideal to achieve, and we need dedicated reporters who will report fact rather than opinion."
