Building Fete To Be Friday
Cornerstone laying ceremonies at the north entrance of the new Science building on the south slope of the campus will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said today.
CommunityChest Drops YWCA From Budget
The Young Women's Christian association at the University has been dropped from the new budget approved by the Community Chest board recently.
The YWCA usually receives about $750 from the Chest, Miss Kay Ewart, chairman of the advisory board of the campus YWCA, said.
Last year the YMCA was dropped from the Chest's budget, but the YWCA made application this year and was denied. Miss Ewart said.
"We feel that any organization that deals with money ought to be given ample notification by the Community Chest before it is dropped." Miss Ewart said, "for as long as the organization is affiliated with the Chest it is ethically bound not to solicit funds."
This will create a considerable deficit in the YWCA's budget this year. Miss Ewart explained.
In addition to the Community Chest contribution which has been dropped, the budget this year receives $500 from student membership, $100 from gifts and contributions, $900 from the University, and $250 from the All Student Council.
Additional funds to make up the deficit will be solicited from board members and "friends of the Y," Miss Ewart added. An extensive membership drive will also be gotten underway as soon as possible. Martha Peterson, dean of women, expressed regret over the curtailment of the Chest's support of the YWCA, but was "not surprised" as she felt it had been in consideration for several years.
The brief informal ceremony will be attended by officials of the University and various associated organizations. There will be no speeches, Chancellor Murphy said.
Included among the out-of-town guests coming for the ceremonies is J. Earl Schaefer, vice president and general manager of the Boeing Airplane co., Wichita. Mr. Schaefer, as chairman of the board of the University's Research foundation, was instrumental in showing the need for and obtaining the appropriation for the structure.
The building, when completed, will house the departments of chemistry, and physics and the School of Pharmacy. The appropriation for the structure was the largest ever made by the state for a single building.
Basil Green, Lawrence contractor for the project, said today that the $2,651,000 structure is about 60 per cent complete. He said that it would be about a year before the E-shaped building is completed.
Others coming to Lawrence for the cornerstone laying are Oscar S. Stauffer, Topeka, chairman of the board of regents; Charles Marshall, Topeka, former state architect who designed the building; Sen. Wilfrid Cavaness, Chanute, chairman of the senate ways and means committee; Hubert Brighton, Topeka, secretary of the board of regents; and Judge Harry Fisher, Fort Scott, chairman of the Alumni association's legislative committee, when the appropriation was made.

University police had no clues today as to the identity of the vandals involved in last night's damage.
Vandals Damage Flowers, Signs
Vandals hit the University campus again last night for the second time in less than a week as a chrysanthemum bed at the west end of the campus and three street signs near the campanile were damaged, apparently by cars.
The first incident of vandalism on the campus this fall occurred early last Saturday when the initials of the Tau Nu Epsilon, a banned society, were burned into the turf at Memorial stadium. University officials have been unsuccessful to date in finding the parties responsible for that damage.
Sometime last night, a car drove into the flower bed at the west end of Jayhawk drive and made two complete circles in the bed before driving out. University gardeners reported many of the chrysanthemum plants, which are about to bloom, were destroyed.
Also sometime last night, three "no parking" signs on the Memorial drive near the campanile were bent down.

Spotlight Shifted To Stevenson Fund
Washington—(U.P.)—Attention turned to Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson's finances today as the furor over Sen. Richard M. Nixon's $18.235 private expense account diminished.
Dwight D. Eisennower, Republican presidential nominee, said his running mate was "completely vindicated" of any wrong-doing and that Nixon was on the ticket to stay. They resumed their campaigned after a meeting at Wheeling, W. Va., last night.
Meanwhile, the Scripps-Howard newspapers reported that Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, had a political fund of $100,000 or more in Illinois, raised by soliciting firms doing business with the State.
A Scripps-Howard Chicago dispatch quoted a former Illinois official, William J. McKinney, as saying Stevenson's fund was raised by soliciting individuals and firms doing annual business of $35 million with the state.
The dispatch said McKinney, head of the state department of purchases and supplies in 1949-50. reported "the funds were used to defray (Stevenson's) charitable con
Iran's Premier Gives Ultimatum
London—(U.P.)—Fremier Mohamed Mossadegh of Iran has given Great Britain a 10-day ultimatum to accept his terms for settling the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute, the foreign office said today.
Mossadgehd did not say what action he would take if Britain did not comply. He did not mention his previously announced threat to break off diplomatic relations with Britain.
The foreign office released the text of a note which Mossadgeh delivered to the United States and British diplomatic envoys in Tehran yesterday.
It was the Iranian reply to proposals made by President Truman and Prime Minister Winston Churchill in an anxious attempt to settle the long, dangerous dispute over Iran's nationalization of the billion-dollar Anglo-Iranian oil company.
As he had announced he would do. Mossadegh rejected the Truman. Churchill proposals.
Mossadegh called the Anglo- American proposals "far more inequitable than previous solutions."
tributions, some of his entertainment expenses and to assist candidates for the state legislature who were favorable to the Stevenson administration."
This fund, the story said, was in addition to the "small personal fund" Stevenson has said was used to supplement the salaries of some appointed state employees who took a financial loss to join his administration.
Eisenhower, after having embraced Nixon and declared him "vindicated," carried his campaign for the first time today into Maryland. He told a crowd of about 6,000 at Cumberland that the Truman administration had tolerated scandals which necessitate a "clean-up from top to bottom."
His place on the ticket secure, Nixon planned to fly to Salt Lake City today to resume his campaigning.
Republicans were now congratulating themselves on the handling of the Nixon incident. They said Eisenhower's unqualified acceptance of Nixon-plus a 107-0 GOP national committee vote to keep the senator on the ticket—made the Eisenhower-Nixon combine "stronger than ever."
Stevenson, back at his Springfield, IL, headquarters, declines for the present to talk about "political funds." He leaves tomorrow for a new campaign swing into Indiana and Kentucky.
