McCoy Speaks On GOP Race
The voters' reaction to what the state legislature did or failed to do will decide the Republican gubernatorial race in the coming election. Alvin McCoy, Kansas correspondent for the Kansas City Star, said Wednesday at the Political Coffee in the Student Union.
"Members of the legislature claim they have balanced the budget." Mr. McCoy said, "but Gov. Fred Hall maintains the budget is not balanced because there are still six more months to operate."
One problem the next session will face is to raise money for government expenses, Mr. McCoy said. Rep. Warren Shaw of Toplewock, Gov. Hall's opponent for the Republican governorship nomination, opposes severance tax. Mr. McCoy said this may be a deciding factor in the election.
Mr. McCoy said he believed if Governor Hall ran today, he would be nominated and re-elected. He said the governor lost the conservative Republican vote because he veteted the right to work bill, but gained labor support by the action.

Stage Shop To Be Larger
The Wednesday Daily Kansan stated that the Junior Panhellenic would present skits in organized houses Wednesday and today. Instead, the skills will be given Wednesday, Feb. 29 and Thursday, March 1.
The stage craft shop in the new fine arts building "is going to be quite something," said Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre.
The shop will be "a very large room with vast window space along one wall." Mr. Goff said. There will be a large exterior fire door so that large equipment can be brought into the shop.
Robert Fulton's steamboat made its first voyage Aug. 11, 1807, or the Hudson River.
Anyone who has lost a cat fitting this description may claim him by calling at Haworth Hall.
The shop is located between the two theaters. Doors about 24 feet high and 24 feet wide open onto the stages of the large theater and the small studio theater. This will facilitate the moving of large pieces of scenery.
A paint well will make the job of scene designers easier. It will make it possible to raise and lower the scenery as it is being painted so that any part can be easily reached. The excess paint will spill into the well, making the clean-up job smaller.
"The lobby is common to the concert theater and the large theater." Mr. Goff said. In the corridor there is display space which will be used for student paintings.
Cat Catches Mice, Waits To Be Claimed
A large white male cat with brown markings on his head and back was found off the campus Wednesday by Richard Loeb, Laurelton, N.Y. graduate student. His present home, until he is claimed by his owner is at Haworth Hall. He will be kept there until next Friday. "He seems like a friendly cat and has taken quite an interest in our mice," Loeb said.
Costume rooms and dressing rooms will be located below the craft shop.
