It, like most student government committees, includes both student and faculty members. The planning of all-college functions is the duty of the Social Recreational Committee. This is one of the larger governmental committes, with representatives from all sections of the campus. The planning of all- college varsities and the engaging of name bands for College dances are important duties of this group. Among the highlights of the campus year, planned by the Recreational Committee, was the appearance of Gene Krupa and his band at the Eisenhower Day con- cert and dance last spring, and Les Brown and his band at a concert and all-college dance this fall. Kansas State ' s new Student Union has been taking shape with guidance from the Student Union Planning Committee. With the help of Porter Butts, widely known expert on college student unions, this committee determines what facilities will be needed in the new building. The group has an added problem in that facilities provided in the building must come within funds allocated for the purpose. The Apportionment Board, a subcommittee of the Student Council, concerns itself with the distribution of student funds. The Board, which handles the Student Activity Fee allocation, was faced with the problem this year of a smaller enrollment; hence, a smaller amount of money to apportion to the various groups on the campus such as the judging teams, student publications, music and drama, and other all-college events. The Apportionment Board this year allocated more than $100,000 to various groups in comparison with $129,- 000 last year. These organizations, in addition to their worthwhile contributions to Kansas State administration, also pro- vide an opportunity for the development of student leadership, and act in this sense as laboratories for democracy.

R. I. THROCKMORTON, Dean of the School of Agriculture, was ap- pointed to that post in 1946. In addition to heading the Ag School, he directs the Agricultural Experiment Stations located in the state. THE MEN WHO HELP run the Ag School are Assistant Dean C. W. Mullin (left) and Associate Dean A. D. Weber ( right) . This is Dean Mullin ' s fourreenth year as assistant dean. Dr. Weber became the College ' s first associate dean in 1950. He is also Associate Director of Agricultural Experiment Stations. Ag School Starts with 1950-51 a year of expansion Expansion characterizes the 1950-51 School of Agri- culture better than any other word. Expansion in physical facilities, expansion of research projects, ex- pansion in the scope of world agriculture covered by former K-Staters, expansion in valuable returns for Kansas agriculture, and expansion in the caliber of teaching. Any Aggie will tell you the construction of the wing between East and West Waters Halls is the most im- portant expansion of all. The four-story, native lime- stone structure is scheduled for completion in June. 1952. It will make one unit out of East Ag, built in 1913, and West Ag, built in 1923. The sprawling school once quartered in the tiny Education building, will have room to spare for all departments. The new $655,000 structure will enable the Ag school orphan, the Horticulture Department, to move back with the rest of the family. The wing faces the Library on the north quadrangle. The square is com- pleted by Williard Hall and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Some 50 offices will fill most of the new building, but it will include 1 2 laboratories, an Ag school library, a drafting room for landscape artists, and a cooler for horticulture storage. More classroom space will be available in rooms vacated by offices in East and West Waters. A 30
