V-1 and V-12 Engineers To Be Stationed Here
The members of V-1 who are engineering students and the students who took the V-12 examination and stated that they would like to study engineering at the University will be sent to the engineering school here at the University when they are placed in uniform July 1, according to an authoritative University source today.
The announcement did not affect anyone other than the engineering students and in reality was the selection of the engineering school by the Navy as part of the Naval Training program.
The University medical school has been selected by the Navy but the pre-medical school has not. Naval reservists who are pre-medics will be sent to another pre-medical school unless the pre-medical school at the University is selected by the Navy.
The sophomore V-1 students will take the qualifying examination for V-Tand V-5 April 20.

Incentive Payments Asked For Farmers By Prentiss Brown
Washington, (INS) — Causing immediate cries of protest, federal price administrator Prentiss M. Brown today called on Congress to appropriate money for incentive payments to farmers. At the same time he warned that passage of the Pace bill providing for a general increase in farm parity ceilings would wreck anti-inflation controls on food prices and wages.
Brown, testifying before the senate agriculture committee said subsidies to farmers should be expanded instead of granting general increases in farm products.
Third Diesel Group Begins
The third group of 31 naval officers to form class of diesel engineers at the University of Wisconsin began training recently.
Women's political parties, so long shrouded by secrecy under the title of non-political combines, have been brought out in the open this year with the coming of the new All-Student Council. The parties are last year's combines which have been given the names of Progressive Women's Cooperative League and Women's Independent Greek Society.
Organized houses making up the WIGS are Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma, Chi Omega, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Delta Pi, and the three women's cooperative houses, Kaw Koetes, Harmon, and Jay Coeds. The PWCL includes Kappa Kappa Gamma, Kappa Alpha Theta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Corbin, Watkins, and Miller halls.
By party caucuses both women's parties have produced party platforms and a slate of their candidates.
Hall Scholarships To Be Awarded High School Men
Applications for the men's residence hall scholarships at the University have been sent to graduates of Kansas high schools. One hundred and forty-six scholarships for both the summer and fall semesters are available in the four dormitories—Templin, Battenfeld, Carruth, and Jolliffe.
The privilege of living in these halls is granted as a scholarship to young men of excellent character, high intelligence, studious habits, and who possess those qualities which will guarantee agreeable associations with their fellow residents. While no direct financial aid is given in awarding the scholarships, each scholarship is considered worth not less than 100 dollars, that amount being the estimated difference in cost of living in one of these halls and living in other houses having equally desirable accommodations.

PWCL PLATFORM
The Progressive Women's Cooperative League has allied itself with the Progressive Student Government League in its aim to express the independent group on the campus. Overwhelmingly independent in support, we stand for cooperation between Independent and Greek to select qualified and responsible candidates. This year we are running five students representing the independents.
1. We, in cooperation with PSGL who conceived the new constitution, support this new constitution in its strong student government and urge the further growth of that government Our candidates pledge themselves to be well informed in regard to University Administrative committees on which they may sit. They pledge themselves to act in the best interests of the University as a whole.
2. We believe that Negro students, as members of the Student Governing Association and Memorial Union should have equal rights and privileges in all campus activities and organizations. We pledge ourselves to work for this equality. To prove that we mean what we say we are running a negro woman on our slate and will elect her!
3. We pledge ourselves to work for the establishment of a campus chest to which all students will make a subscription during one campus drive. All campus charities will then make their appeal for funds to the Campus Chest Committee. We believe this procedure will accomplish two things: 1) increase the total amount of money available for charity drives; and 2) allocate the funds more fairly among these appeals.
4. We pledge ourselves to work for the organization of a campus USO in cooperation with CVC, YWCA, and Jay James. Service men stationed on
