Legislature Grants Funds For Building
Topeka, (INS)—Sen. E. A. Briles, chairman of the ways and means committee this afternoon said $84,000 will be made immediately available to replace the KU Anatomy building recently destroyed by fire.
It has been necessary to amend an appropriation measure that has passed the senate and is in the house to provide the fund. Also it has been necessary to take the money out of the educational building fund that had been earmarked for the Emporia Teachers' College library and the KU Mineral Research building, but Senator Briles said these funds will be placed back in the building fund by a direct appropriation.
Military Science Included
Also on the bill was a provision to provide money to complete the military science buildings at KU and at Manhattan. $69,000 was allowed for the completion of KU's military science building. The bill will now go to the Governor for his signature.
Because of an inability to get equipment for Lindley hall at this time, the senate ways and means committee of the state legislature has approved the use of $50,000 from unused portions of the mill tax fund, plus other moneys that were previously appropriated but unused in constructing and equiping the hall, to reconstruct Haworth hall for use of the department of anatomy, it was made known today. The total available is to be $84,000.
Priorities Attainable
Priorities in completing the middle section of Haworth hall are obtainable. Whenever equipment for Lindley hall can be obtained, additional appropriations will be made, it is said.

Councils Pass Constitution For One Body
Student government by one ruling body moved one step closer to completion last night as the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association unanimously passed in a joint meeting the proposed constitution for a unicameral system of government.
Only a few minor changes were made to the constitution as drawn up by the constitution committee. As the bill now stands, the unicameral government would provide for the election by proportional representation from districts of 16 school representatives, 10 group representatives, and two freshmen.
Two more steps are necessary for the changeover from two governing bodies to the single body. Vernon McKale, MSC president, said that the plan would be submitted to the vote of students in the near future, and that if it is passed, the final step of electing and installing the new council would follow.
The two councils are drawing up new bills that the new system would make necessary, said McKale, and is revising bills passed by joint sessions of the councils.

He said he considered the topic under discussion of widespread interest among the student body and undoubtedly one on which all would be anxious to join in discussion.
Antonio Lulli, president of the University's Pan-American League will act as chairman of the open meeting. W.W.Davis, advisor of the League, and H.B. Chubb, advisor of the International Relations club, will lead the discussion.
