The one story building to the right of the main building in this architect's sketch, will contain a lecture room, lounge, and recreation room.
Miss Jean M. Hill, director of nursing, said completion of the building will permit further growth and provide greatly needed facilities for about 28 per cent of the student nurses who must be housed outside of the present residence. The building which is expected to be completed by October 1951, will double the size of the present facilities for housing women.
Funds were appropriated by the Kansas legislature in connection with the 1949 Rural Health bill. The building was designed by Charles Marshall, state architect, and Thomas D. Maulsby of Kansas City, Kan. The Bob Eldridge Construction company of Kansas City, Kan., is the contractor.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (U.P.)—The vital Soo locks were "destroyed" and more than 5,000 persons "killed" in the nation's first major dress rehearsal for defense against atomic attack today.
