Three Injured In Collision
Three women were injured, and two escaped unhurt in a car accident which occurred at 16th and Massachusetts street Sunday night.
Injured were: Janet Lull, education junior, who suffered face and chest injuries; Freda Mary Jones, fine arts junior, who received a possible fracture of the nose and multiple bruises; and Geneva Fleshman, education sophomore, who suffered a forehead gash. She was taken to her home in Platte City, Mo.
Uninjured women were Virginia Zabel, College junior, and Frances Pence, education sophomore.
The car in which the K.U. women were riding ran into Miss Mary Altinger's car from the rear when she stopped at the intersection on 16th and Massachusetts. Orville Moorman, driver of a third car, hit the women's car from behind. Miss Altinger and Mr. Moorman were not injured, officers Henry Collins and Arthur Sherk of the Lawrence police department reported.
Conditions of the women have been reported as good by Watkins hospital.
Many Buildings Donated To KU
Numerous buildings at the University have been erected or acquired through funds provided by private donations, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the University Endowment association, said.
"Few realize the University is so greatly indebted to the contributions of many persons," he explained
Fourteen of the buildings on the campus were built, in whole or part, from funds donated by friends and alumni of the University. The buildings are Watkins Memorial hospital, the Chancellor's home, Fowler shoos, Spooner-Thayer museum, the Military Science building, Nurses home, Watkins, Miller, Jolliffe, Foster, the Stadium, the Student Union building, Danfort Chapel and Templin hall.
In addition, Sunnyside, Oread hall, and temporary classrooms and laboratory buildings were provided by the federal government, Mr. Youngberg said.
All the resident halls at the University, excluding Corbin hall were built or acquired through donated funds. Battenfeld, the University's only scholarship hall for men, was a gift of the Battenfeld family of Kansas City, Mo.
The Endowment association receives and administers gifts in behalf of the University. Although the title to a number of privately-given buildings on the campus proper rests with the Endowment association, the University operates the buildings.

Malott Answers Liquor Questions
In response to numerous requests from student groups, I wish to make the following statement in regard to liquor in the University of Kansas.
To the students of the University:
In spite of the change in the state law, the University of Kansas does not permit the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages at any University function of whatever nature, on or off the campus; in or on the premises of any organized house; nor its possession or consumption by students in their rooms in private residences. In all respects, the University expects its students to abide by the laws of the state.
Paul Honey, representative of the Buckeye-Cotton Oil company will be at the University Wednesday and Thursday to interview June graduates.

Here's A Berlin Murder Maze For Lawyers To Puzzle Out
Berlin-This is Berlin—where a murderer may never come to trial, if the body is found on the right shore. Here is one for the boys at Green hall to puzzle out. It happened outside of Berlin, but this is where the legal brains are trying to figure out an answer.
By CARLA EDDY
Under U.S. law, you lose United States nationality if, for instance, you vote in a political election in a foreign state, or declare allegiance to a foreign state, or accept employment under a foreign government for which only nationals of that state are eligible.
A German woman who into the Soviet zone, where she was murdered by a Czech. He threw her body in a river that flowed between the Soviet zone and the U.S. zone, and the current brought it to rest on the U.S. zone shore. The Czech was caught, and the question is in what court to try him.
Another group of cases that lawyers won't encounter in Kansas have to do with nationality and citizenship. With hostilities stopped in May, 1945, many Americans living in Germany applied for repatriation. Some of these had been caught in Germany by the outbreak of war in 1939 and had been unable to depart. Others had chosen to stay because they were married to Germans, or for any of a variety of reasons. An exacting legal task has been the determination of the present nationality status of these persons for purposes of repatriation.
The German courts can't try the case in any zone, because they don't have jurisdiction over United Nations nationals, which the Czech is So the legal brains are trying to figure out how to bring the man to justice.
A German woman who lived in the French zone of Germany traveled
Your first thought is the Soviet zone, because the crime was committed there. But the Soviets say they aren't interested, and besides the body was found on the U.S. zone shore—whatever that has to do with it. The U.S. courts in the U.S. zone have no jurisdiction over such a case, where the crime was committed outside its borders. Furthermore, neither party is a resident of that zone.
If the person in question ever declared allegiance to Hitler, which many organizations as a whole did, his U.S. nationality vanished that moment. The problem is to find out whether he actually did or not. It isn't always easy to prove what happened back in 1937.
The question of property rights is often an intricate one, which may affect American interests. Take the problem of certain Germans missing since World War II. An American
citizen may have directed that his estate be left to a German whose whereabouts are unknown. Or an American citizen may have become an heir of a German citizen who is missing. Again, an American may contemplate marriage with a German woman whose husband has been missing since the war. Or he may have a relative who disappeared in a concentration camp and for whom restitution proceedings should be initiated.
Questions of international law have come up for interpretation, such as a matter of control of international carriage of goods and persons by air, as set forth in the War-saw convention of 1929. Those who like legal "firsts" never have a dull moment.

KU Students Want A Field House
Opinions vary in a poll conducted by the Daily Kansan concerning a University field house.
Some are for the field house, no holds barred, while others favor the proposal on certain conditions. Here's what some of the students think:
Frank Jannsen. College senior:
"We need a field house and should have one. It's high time something was done about it."
George Lukens, College sophomore; "Definitely. The present conditions are a disgrace to the University."
Frank Shortino, business senior:
"A school the size of K.U. cannot afford to be without a modern field house."
James Feitz, business senior: "I am in favor of a field house, provided that the building has such features as a swimming pool and bowling alleys, for use by all the students instead of just a basketball palace. I want the basketball court for use by intramural teams as well as the Varsity."
Mrs. Earl Gerharter, College senior: "It's obvious that Hoch auditorium is inadequate and considering the large enrollment the past few years. I don't see why the project hasn't been started earlier."
Harold Cogswell, College junior: "I am not in favor of such a building. It would divert labor and materials from other and possibly worthier projects."
Elizabeth LeSuer, College senior
"No. Although a field house would be of financial benefit to the University, there are more pressing needs that should be the concern of a supposedly educational institution."
John Macon, College freshman:
'I'm in favor of a field house.
It should contain a wider variety of
equipment than the present gym.'
Harry Miller, business junior:
"Because sports are a part of the social life of a College. I don't think it fair that roughly only a third of the students can attend the basketball games. I believe that the lack of school spirit at K.U. is because so few students are able to attend any basketball games at all."
Bob Morris, engineering junior: "I'm in favor of a new field house because the lack of facilities for indoor sports has resulted in Kansas fielding poor teams in those sports, even though the athletic material is as good as, or better than any of the other conference schools. The swimming team, in particular, has suffered from lack of proper training facilities."
Homer Reed, College senior: "1
would be in favor of a field house, if I could be certain that it would be built on the present site of Fraser hall."
Wesley Sims, journalism junior. "The seating capacity of Hoch auditorium is too small, and a field house would be a source of revenue. With a field house, indoor track meets could be held as well as basketball tournaments. The University might be the first one to initiate indoor football. Commencement could be held in the field house in inclement weather."
senior-:
Leo nard Snyder, journalism senior: "I am a patron of the arts and would favor a theater instead a field house. However, I know there are many students who would favor a field house, so why not build a field house with theater facilities?"
J. D. Dresser, College sophomore: "A field house would improve swimming facilities, for both the team and the students."
Lawrence Mische, education junior; "I think the University needs a field house so that indoor track meets and swimming meets could be held here instead of away from home. There is a lot of difference, too, practicing and playing basketball on different courts."
