Life Sentences To Bulgarian Protestants
The heads of the four principal Protestant churches in Bulgaria were sentenced today to life imprisonment as spies for the United States and Britain.
By UNITED PRESS
The sentences were imposed by a Sofia district court after it convicted the four leading churchmen of espionage, spreading false rumors, and black-market currency deals. Eleven other clergymen were tried with the four principal defendants and the verdicts against them were to be announced later today.
The four principal clergymen are Vassil Georgiev Zyapkov, 48, Congregationalist; Yanko Nicolov Ivaoiv, 48, Methodist; Nikola Mihaiol Naumov, 49, Baptist, and Georgi Nicolov, 46, Pentacost.
All property of the four clergy-
men was ordered confiscated, they were wired one million Leva ($3,500)
each, and they were deprived of their civil rights forever.
All four had confessed their guilt in detail, expressed repentance and pleaded with the court to spare their lives. They had faced possible death sentences for espionage.

Carlson Receives Field House Bill
Topeka, March 8—(U.P.)G o v. Frank Carlson today was expected to sign a supplemental appropriation bill for $725,000, and guarantee the erection of a new field house at Kansas State college.
Final legislative action was taken on the appropriation Monday when the house passed unanimously.
Added to funds previously appropriated for the same use, the new money will make possible immediate construction of a three million dollar fieldhouse that will seat 12,000 fans for indoor sports events at K-State. It will take the place of 39-year-old Nichols gymnasium, which seated only 2,800.

Woodruff Backs WSSF Drive
L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, indorsed the World Student Service Fund which begins its week-long drive today for student donations.
"The W.S.S.F. is an opportunity for the students of a fortunate land to contribute to the cause of peace by aiding the less fortunate students of other war-torn countries. Lasting peace is possible only through world-wide education and sympathetic understanding of the peoples and problems of other nations. Give your dollar to help a fellow scholar," Dean Woodruff said.
House Bought For Women
A new dormitory which will house about 18 women will be opened next fall following a recent purchase by the KU. Endowment association, Keith Lawton, directories of dormitories, said today.
The house, purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Carl Griswold, is located at 1006 Mississippi street and is the second house north of Monchonsia hall, women's dormitory at 1014 Mississippi street.
The property will be taken over by the University in June. Remodeling will be done to make it suitable for a dormitory. It will be ready for occupancy in the fall.
The actual use of the house has not been officially settled," Mr. Lawton said. "We have proposed that it be used for a regular women's residence hall, but this will be set later in the spring. The name will be decided at that time too."
Women at the new residence hall will probably take their meals at Monchonsia hall as do the women in Hopkins hall, 1011 Indiana street.

Alumni To Vote For Officers
The K.U. Alumni association has completed its nominations for the 1949 election of officers. Ballots will be mailed to members next month and the results announced at commencement in June, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association said.
The officers to be filled are: president, vice-president, and two directors. The president and vice-president positions are for one year terms, the directors for five years.

On the "Jay" ticket are August W. Lautbach, '23, of Colby, for president; Stanley Learned, '24, Bartlesville, Okla., for vice-president; and Don Kendall, '27, Great Bend, and Gordon Saunders, '22, Detroit, Mich., for directors.
