Drive Begins To Raise Money For Fire Victims
A money raising campaign to help women replace clothing and other personal effects, destroyed or damaged in the Templin hall fire, starts today. The campaign is sponsored by the University Daily Kansan.
Approximately $1,200 worth of personal effects were reported to have been either destroyed or damaged by the fire Monday. Much of the clothing that was saved must be dry cleaned because of smoke damage. The women who lived in Temple hall are being housed in other dormitories.

It is always heartening to find students ever ready to help their fellows in trouble, and I am sure the Kansan's project will do much to relieve the hardship of some of the students who suffered loss in the Temple hall fire.

Mills Tells AWS Leader Values
Many of the leaders today have not developed attitudes and values about life, Miss Thelma Mills, dean of women at the University of Missouri told the Associated Women's Student leadership workshop Thursday.
"A leader is one who is secure within herself and utilizes functions with principles, not prescriptions," she said.
Miss Mills pointed out that a good leader must always recognize the personal worth of other individuals. She said that a high school leader's chances of being a college leader are four times greater than that of the high school student who merely follows other students.
She challenged the group to "fair thinking, fair play, and a full understanding of the rights of others."
John Conard, instructor of political science, will speak to the A.W.S. leadership workshop on "how to conduct a meeting." Tuesday, Feb. 15
Revised Union To Have Twice As Much Space
Contemplated additions to the present Student Union, plus the furnishings, will make a million dollar building, George M. Beal, head of the department of architecture, told members of the Union Operating committee. Thursday night.
The plans call for about a 100 per cent increase in total space, he said.
The plans are
The drawings of the tentative floor plan displayed for student inspection in the lounge of the Union for several weeks.
Ogden S. Jones, chairman of the Union Operating committee pointed out that the question box placed beside the drawings in the Union lounge is for suggestions by the students. He said that the committee will welcome suggestions, and applications for office space in the new building.
"All applications for office space will be subject to the approval of the Union Operating committee." Mr Jones said. He requests that all students submit their ideas to the suggestion box in the lounge.
Some of the increases in size listed by Mr. Beal are a 60 per cent increase for the ball room, 50 per cent for the Kansas room, a large increase in all the dining facilities, more offices, and more conference rooms.
Little Man On Campus
The dining rooms and the conference rooms will be designed so that they may be made larger through the use of sliding partitions. Present plans also include the installation of another passenger elevator.

The All Student council appoints the student members to the committee.
Gasoline Price May Go Down
Washington, Feb. 11—(U.P.)—Some petroleum experts predicted today that a price cut in gasoline will start in the next six weeks and extend over the entire country east of the Rockies.
Others said they expect cutbacks in production—which already have started—but only scattered gasoline price cuts.
All agreed that any price cut would be small and perhaps only temporary unless a real business recession develops.
Domestic crude oil producers are gathering their strength to try to get congress to impose quotas on oil imports. Many refiners already have started cutting down on their imports.
The petroleum industry, which has been increasing both production and prices since the war because higher costs and the shortage of fuel oil and gasoline, suddenly has found its situation reversed.
The unusually mild winter in the East coincided with a 400,000-barrel-a-day increase in domestic crude oil production, a 100,000-barrel-a-day increase in imported crude, and heavy stocking in the Midwest. Now there are surpluses of both fuel oil and gasoline.
Gasoline stocks total 114 million barrels, the highest ever. And this is the time of year when refineries switch their heavy production from fuel oil to gasoline. That is why some petroleum experts believe that distributors and refiners will start shading their gasoline prices in the next six weeks.
Crude production in Texas has been cut 300,000 barrels a day by the state commission. Refineries are cutting their output by about this much. The price of fuel oil in the Midwest and East already has weakened.
Expert's said, however, that the over-supply will be only temporary. Over-all demand for petroleum products will continue on the up-grade, unless the country goes into a recession.
