Regents Give Green Light to U.S. Loan For Construction of Largest Dormitory
A three million dollar federal loan for building the biggest dormitory on the KU campus has been approved by the Kansas Board of Regents.
The Regents also authorized an inquiry to Washington, D.C., to see if construction can begin immediately. The dormitory will be between Ellsworth Hall and Stouffer Place.
THE DORMITORY is being financed through the Housing and Home Financing Agency of the Community Facilities Administration in Washington, D.C.

Total cost will be $3.8 million. It will be designed to house 976 students and will be almost one and one-half times as big as Ellsworth Hall—the biggest hall on campus to date.
Review of the final enrollment figures put KU enrollment 11,194 equivalent full-time students, up 793 or 7.6 per cent from last year. The Board computes the "equivalent" number of students by taking the total hours enrolled for and dividing by 15, which is considered an average work load by the Regents. Graduate hours are divided by nine.
Following are the equivalent enrollments of the four other state colleges and universities. Kansas State University: 8,932, down 136 or 1.5 per cent. Pittsburg State College: 3,962, up 190 or 5 per cent. Emporia State Teachers College: 4,588, down 130 or 3 per cent. Fort Hays State College: 3,450, up 260 or 8.1 per cent.
WICHITA UNIVERSITY, which will be changed from a municipal to a state institution next year, has an equivalent enrollment of 4,766, up 550 or 14.3 per cent.
$20,106,000 in Taxes
LONDON — (UPI) — Government officials said today they have picked up $20,106,000 in the last two weeks in inheritance taxes on the estates of four men—motoring pioneer Lord Nuffield, insurance magnate Lord Ennisdale, philanthropist G. Northcott and Woodworth's President W. L. Stephenon.
The Regents also approved a plan designed to strengthen the extension education program in Kansas. The plan calls for a coordinated extension program under the supervision of a commission composed of President James McCain of Kansas State
University, chairman; Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, vice chairman; and President Leonard H. Axe of Pittsburg State College.
The committee will identify and analyze new needs and demands for off-campus instruction.
