Fieldhouse Plans Are Authorized By Regents
K. U. has a fieldhouse coming, although no one knows when, Chancellor Deane W. Malott said today.
The fieldhouse, to accommodate all of the University's record student enrollment for basketball games, now is getting "a higher priority" because "the need for it is much greater," the chancellor pointed out.
The board of regents has authorized Mr. Malott to "carry out studies as to the site and the possibilities of a bond issue to cover the major financing of the building;" the chancellor reported.
"The regents and administrative officers of the University look with favor upon bonding such a building," he continued. "Because funds from the mill tax are desperately needed for educational buildings, provision of a field house from this source would not be available for a number of years."
Athletic earnings—the way the gate clicks at home football games—will be available to help pay for a fieldhouse, the administration hopes.
There's no date set for the start of construction, the chancellor declared, because "materials and government authorization of such a building are simply not available."
When K.U. does get a fieldhouse, "it should be a complete one, not just for basketball." Mr. Malott told the Daily Kansas.
The site most often discussed for the fieldhouse is on the edge of Marvin grove, near Mississippi street, Mr. Malott said. Another he has discussed with E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, is "behind the present gymnasium."
Choice of the site will depend somewhat on its parking facilities and its nearness to eating and other utility facilities.
Party List Due
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, announced today that all plans for parties must be turned into her office before 5 p.m. tomorrow.
Mr. Caniff, Who IS This Jane Allen
Mr. Milton Caniff c/o Terry and the Pirates Somewhere in the Pacific
Mr. Milton Caniff
Dear Sir:
In following your comics, we became greatly interested in Jane Allen of Kansas City, Mo., as she is our ideal, that is, the type of a person who would go "overboard" for any "drifting soul", we started our search for her.
Miss Allen, of course, was listed in Sunday's strip as a Kansas City girl who learned swimming here.
Well, Mr. Caniff, you don't know the trouble we went to. Miss Ruth Hoover, swimming instructor, said she had a Mary Jane Allen in her beginning swimming class in 1938, but she couldn't be the right one. She was from Yates Center.
The Registrar's office sent us on the trail of two other Jane Allen's. One lives in Lawrence, the other in Toneka.
Mr. Caniff, if we don't find a Jane Allen from Kansas City, Mo., pretty soon, we're afraid we won't be able to believe in Terry and the Pirates any more.
Sincerely, The Daily Kansan

Because of the large number of women living in Corbin hall this year, the committee voted to give Corbin two nominees.
Any woman not living in an organized house can be nominated by a petition carrying the signatures of any 15 students who are not members of an organized house.
Letters and petitions of nomination should be addressed to the Queen committee and placed in the hands of Mr. Hitt not later than 5 p.m. Thursday.
Pictures, are not required for nominations. Because of the short time between now and Homecoming, the committee decided it would be impossible for some entries to obtain good studio portraits.
The method of judging and judges will be determined at the committee's next meeting. Since pictures are not being submitted, the judging will be done on the basis of a personal appearance before the judges.
