P.S.G.L. Scores Smash Triumph
Industries Building Assured
That the construction of a Mineral Industries building on this campus was assured by the granting of a priority rating by the United States government was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Action of federal authorities in granting the rating climaxed a seven-month wait since the Kansas legislature last April 5 appropriated $408,500 for the building.
The announcement was made after Malott had conferred by long-distance telephone with J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, who is in Washington, D.C., talking with government officials concerning the priorities.
According to the Chancellor, the contract for the three-story structure will be let sometime next month. When completed, the building will be used as a laboratory by the shell-loading plant now in operation at Parsons.
Laboratories for the overcrowded engineering departments will be housed in the Mineral Industries building. These include the petroleum engineering, mining and metallurgical engineering, geology, and chemical engineering departments.

*post that Pachacamac wangled out of the fight.
It was apparent from the first few minutes of counting that P.S.G.L. would capture the election and the interest of the politicians moved from the presidency race to the class race of M.S.C. candidates. After 45 minutes of counting the vote stood 85 for Dudley Hanstine to Schuerman's 140. The latter's lead was never threatened through the rest of the counting.
In the M.S.C. race it was a different story. P.S.G.L.'s were out to capture two posts on the council which would have given them control until the coming spring elec-
