Reece said that inspections were requested regularly by the house and that it had always compiled with fire department records in their files would verify this, she said.

"I hope by stirring up a hornet's nest we can bring about preventive action," he said. Maybe this time we locked out. The next happens 30 or 60 girls could be trapped.

It was incorrectly reported in Monday's Kansan that a student is required to complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit after declaration of candidacy for the B.G.S. degree. A student must do this for the B.G.S. degree. He must also finish the last 30 hours in residence with a 2.0 grade average.
