Swander, Hopkins to Debate At West Point Invitational
Orval Swander, business senior, and Don Hopkins, special student in law, will leave tomorrow for the seventh annual West Point Invitational Debate tournament held at the military academy April 23-25.
Because of a $200 appropriation by the All Student Council, we are able to make the trip," debate coach Kim Giffin said, adding, "the boys themselves will assume all expenses but their transportation." Prof. Giffin will accompany the debaters
Leaving from Kansas City tomorrow by Sky Coach, the men will arrive in New York City at 8:30 p.m. From there, they plan to take a bus to West Point, New York.

Does your house have its
block of reserved seats?
I can express adequately our appreciation for the action of the All Student Council. The West Point tournament is the most important event in intercollegiate debate. Don and I intend to do everything in our university reflect credit upon the University and to justify the council's action."
The two debaters won the district tournament at St. Thomas college, St. Paul, Minn., and placed high in the elimination tournament held at Iowa State college in March.

During the seven years which the West Point tournament has been held, Kansas has been invited five times.
Further plans for the new women's scholarship dormitory to be erected on the site of Carruth hall were announced today by Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment association.
New Dorm Plans Revealed
The hall, to be called Douthart hall, will be built with funds left to the University by the late Miss Lela Douthart, '99, and her sister, the late Mrs. Ava Douthart Chronister, '01.
Carruth hall will be razed soon after this semester ends, and construction will begin as soon as possible after that, Mr. Youngberg said. Final plans are expected to be completed within 60 to 90 days, he said.
"We hope the new hall will enable us to take care of all applicants for the women's scholarship halls. So far this year, we have had nearly 200 applications and can handle only about 150." Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, said.
The building will be ready for use in the fall, 1954 if construction goes according to schedule, she said.
The new hall will face southeast in a cornerwise position on the lot at the corner of 14th and Louisiana streets. It will be similar in design, although somewhat more contemporary, to Sellards, Pearson, and Stephenson scholarship halls, which were completed last year.
The architect is Raymond A. Coolidge, Topeka, who designed the other three halls.
1,800 March In ROTC Show
More than 1,800 cadets from the Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC units will participate in a combined inspection review at 4 p.m. today on the intramural fields south of the Military Science building.
This review is being held in conjunction with the federal inspection of the Army and Air Force units. The inspection, which continues through Tuesday, is primarily for the inspecting teams to examine the training, both in the classroom and on the drill field, of the cadets.
Two teams of three officers will be present from Army and Air Force headquarters. The Navy unit, although it is not included in the inspection, will participate in the review.
The Air Force ROTC drill team, which drills with silent cadence, no commands being given after the initial march order, will give an exhibition at 3:30 p.m. This group is under the direction of Cadet Maj. Zenon Zanettos.
Room arrangement in Douthart hall will be similar to that in Sellards, with student rooms arranged in suites. A housemother's suite and living room will be on first floor; student rooms on second and third floors, and a recreation room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room in the basement.
The Air Force ROTC band, under the direction of Cadet Maj. William McClelland, will provide march music for the review.
Distinguished Air Force and Army ROTC students will receive recognition certificates during the review.
