With members appointed by the Student Council, this organization sponsors movies, dancing lessons, and many other all-College activities that are usually free of charge to the student body. The two biggest projects of the committee this year were the two name band dances. In December Billy May played at the combined name band dance and Royal Purple ball, and in March Woody Herman visited the campus to entertain. Jean Sheets was chairman of the committee and Prof. Stuart Whitcomb and Philip Sorensen are faculty advisors. 27 The details of the plans and architectural aspects of the new Student Union have been discussed and de- cided upon by the Student Union planning committee. This group operates under the auspices of the Faculty Senate, and is a sub-committee of the committees on physical facilities and campus development. Faculty members are appointed by the Senate, and Dean A. L. Pugsley is chairman. Other faculty members are Prof. Leone Kell, Prof. Stuart Whitcomb, Prof. Paul Weigel, Dean Craig, Dean Moore, and Philip Sorensen. The six student members are appointed by the Student Council. The work of this committee will not be completed un- til the Union is an actual functioning part of the campus.

SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE Kansas without agriculture would be like bread without butter or vice versa. The School of Agriculture at Kansas State college strives to prepare students planning a vocation in farming or in an allied agricultural field. Some courses in agriculture have been taught at K-State since 1854, but today there is an organized school, with seven departments and numerous curricula. The College owns 2,784 acres of land for experimental work and instuction, and also maintains large and well-equipped laboratories for soil and crop work. The Students also become familiar with types of animal breeds through actual stock work. The school ' s judging teams are among the top in the nation, and the annually-staged Little American Royal draws a crowd from all over the area. Kansas State college is doing its share to prepare boys and girls for a life and vocation satisfying and profitable agri- culture. It is the bread and butter of Kansas.
