Housing To Be Well In Hand,' Youngberg Says
If second semester enrollment rounds off near the 9,000 mark as James K. Hitt, University registrar, expects the housing situation will be well in hand, according to Irvin Youngberg, director of the housing bureau.
"In fact," Mr. Youngberg said, "we expect to have more rooms available than there are students to fill them when last-minute vacancies are filed at the bureau.
All of the Sunnyside units will probably be completed by March 1, Mr. Youngberg said. Of the 31 units being built, 10 have been completed and are occupied. When married faculty members and students have been housed, the remaining units will be used to house single men.
Men living in three buildings at Sunflower village will be moved to Lawrence as soon as possible. Mr. Youngberg said. The village units will be retained by the University, however, until enrollment figures are normal, he added.
The housing bureau is looking forward to the time when students living in the basement of Spooner Thayer museum can be conveniently housed elsewhere and the space returned to the museum.

Parking Regulations Will Remain During Finals

It was also announced that zone 1 will be closed for approximately 120 days because of construction work being done there. All cars bearing zone 1 stickers will be allowed to park on either side of the street between Bailey Chemical laboratories and Snow hall until the work is completed.

for this.
The pickets formed their mass line before dawn to block the entrances to the day composing room crew. After the printers left, the picket lines dwindled until shortly mailers, members of another ITU local, appeared. Again the mass pickets went into action and the mailers also remained out of the building.
Guy Rice, attorney, said 109 carriers signed the petition. He said he believed a total of 140 of the carriers were behind the move. In their petition, they charged that the striking group of contract carriers was in the minority and asked that they be restrained from seeking bargaining representation for all carriers. Hearing on the application was set for this afternoon.
Linotype operators and makeup men, numbering about 50, watched the mass lines for sometime earlier in the day and then gradually drifted off. ___

Open The Drawer, Dick Pay Your Traffic Fine
Students who don't pay their traffic tickets before the end of this semester will find them attached to their fee cards when they enroll next semester, the University Business office announced today.

A meeting of county club chairmen of the Student statewide activities committee will be held after finals, Chairman Dwight Deay, announced Monday. Plans for a spring semester dance will be discussed.
The men gave their names as Kenneth Pricer, V. V. Jones, L. L. McDonald, R. J. Campbell, G. O. Lash, V. L. Nicholson, D. H. Cristman, D. M. Alexander, D. H. Steeples, V. E. Boatwright, Elmer C. Nichols, and R. H. Zimmerman.
According to Mr. Gerard, who was parked in his car near Fraser hall, two cars, a Ford and a Chevrolet, 1941 models, were cruising up and down Jayhawk Drive at 12 o'clock.
"When I went on duty, I had a premonition that something was going to happen," he said.
So when the cars came back toward the statue, Mr. Gerard was waiting in front of Watkins hospital ready to chase them.
"One car went on down the hill, but the other stopped in front of the statue and one of the men jumped out with a bucket of paint and a paint brush and started painting." he related.
"As I came up, some of the occupants of the car warned the painter that 'someone is coming.'"
Mr. Gerard nabbed the man with the brush and bucket, but the car fled down 14th street.
"I yelled at them to stop and when the car kept going, I fired at them. I must have fired five times and still the car did not stop," Mr. Gerard recalled.
resulted.
"I took the license number of the first car and turned it in to city police," he said.
Then he settled back and waited, Mr. Gerard said. A few minutes later, the second car returned to pick up the painter, and he took the men into custody.
Chester Foster, campus policeman brought them up on the Hill and supervised work as they "cleaned up" Uncle Jimmy and an eight foot strip of walk in front of Hoch auditorium.
All the men were taken to the city jail where they spent the night. They were released this morning by Henry Werner, dean of student affairs.
Dean Werner called Dean Puglesy, dean of administration at Manhattan this morning and arranged to have the men released to Kansas State authorities "as soon as they have cleaned up the paint."
This painting marks the first violation of the seven-year-old peace pact this semester, Dean Werner said.
Daily Kansan Will Publish 'World News'
Campus Will Have Newspaper During Exams
The campus will have a newspaper during examination week, the Kansan board decided Monday.
Called "World News," and carrying mainly news of national and international importance, the paper will "fill in a news gap caused by the temporary discontinuation of the Daily Kansan, and by the strike on the Kansas City Star," according to Marcella Stewart, board chairman.
Today's issue of the Daily Kansan will be the last until Feb. 10.
This extra service to students will be available on the usual Daily Kansan publication days, and in three of the Kansan's distribution boxes—those inside the Memorial Union, Frank Strong hall, and the library.
Because of the severe shortage of newsprint, only 2,000 copies of a one-page paper can be printed daily. A few copies will be saved for each organized house at the Daily Kansan's business office.
This "World News" is an emergency measure for this semester only, Miss Stewart explained, and it will be discontinued immediately if the Kansas City Star resumes publication.
