Dividing activity fees among organizations are Appor- tionment board members John W. DeMand, Gene Olander, Joyce Rogers, Dean Herbert W ' underlich, Martyn Apley, Susan Mechesney and Steve Douglas. Boards Divide Money, Guide KS Publications Allocating money from student fees is done by the Apportionment board. The board divides money among campus organizations after requests are made at hearings before the board. A total of $204,060 v as divided among 30 organizations this year. The board is composed of tliree students appoint- ed by Student Council, three faculty members ap- pointed by the President, and the student body president. The group meets each spring and tenta- tively apportions money to requesting organiza- tions. Meeting again in the fall, the board makes its final allocation following payment of fees by enrolled students. Student Publications received the largest amount last fall, $63,787, or $10.32 a student. The Student Union follow ed closely with $61,760, or $10 a stu- dent. The Athletic department was allocated $33,- 967, or $5.50 a student. The board makes all allocations according to or- ganizations ' need and campus importance. Organ- izations requesting money are required to give valid reasons for needing the money. The March- ing Band trip is the only activity that received more money than had been requested. Most or- ganizations get less mone ' , since there is not enough money from student fees to pay all the re- quested amounts. The Board of Student Publications decides poli- cies concerning the Collegian, Royal Purple, and Student Directory. Three student members are elected to the board in the Student Governing as- sociation election each spring. The President ap- points three faculty members to serve on the board. The board appoints editors and business managers of publications, employs the graduate manager of Student Publications, and awards contracts.

The AWS council is made up of one representative for every 50 women living in an organized house or dormi- tory. Duties of the council include, with the aid of committee chairmen and a judicial board, work ing for the unification and the social and educational welfare of the women students. Associate Dean of Students Margaret Lahey advises the council and Judy Young was its president this year. Holy, fair, and wise is she was the theme of the AWS annual All Women ' s day. The theme was chosen to emphasize the religious and intellectual growth of the coed, and to enumerate the other feminine characteristics a woman should cultivate. Penny-a-minute night, at which men pay a penny for every minute past 1 a.m. they keep their dates out, brought in $165 this fall. The AWS is trying to get enough money tlirough this activity to furnish a room in the proposed women ' s scholarship hall. The service committee provided entertainment at the Fort Riley hospital each Sunday afternoon and was in charge of the Christmas caroling there. Other activities included revision of the campus queen rules, dinner at the freshman dorms to ex- plain the functions of AWS, and taking charge of the Artist Series ticket sales.

Curriculum Is Altered In Agriculture Schoo The administration this year altered the curricu- lum in the School of Agriculture, so that all fresh- men entering the University will take practically the same courses through the sophomore year. Stu- dents in Agriculture will take all the basic science courses before specializing in any one field. This change will apply to all the fields in the School of Agriculture except students enrolling in Agricultural Education, Landscape Design, Milling Technology, and Dairy Manufacturing. These four curriculums were changed a few years ago to re- quire students to take the basic sciences in prep- aration for the more specific courses required for graduation. Revision To Upgrade Academic Quality The purpose of the revision is to upgrade the academic quality of education in agriculture and to meet the rapid changes in the agricultural industry. The new curriculum will prepare students for serv- ice in any phase of agriculture, including the pro- vision of goods and services used in farming and the production, processing, marketing, and distribu- tion of farm products. The basic science courses required for freshmen and sophomores include botany, zoology, psychol- ogy, political science, economics, bacteriology, ge- netics, entomology, geology, chemistry, and physics. The oven is usually hot in the milling department as students learn to bake bread to test flour quality. Arthur D. ( Dad ) Weber, dean of Agriculture, made a tour of India as a member of the USDA-ICA project. During the junior and senior years a student is required to take one course in each of the broad areas of agriculture: soils, plant science, animal sci- ence, agricultural engineering, and agricultural economics. These courses combine the old ele- ments courses that freshmen and sophomores were required to take. The elements courses were in- troductory courses in animal husbandry, dairy hus- bandry, poultry, horticulture, meats, and crops. K-State is participating in its fourth year in tech- nical and educational assistance to India under the Internation Cooperation Administration. The ICA is financed by the federal government and con- Dr an in ea Ibc I ar he I dia 26
