In interest of the priorities on the University's Mineral Industries building, J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, again flew to Washington last night.
Jakosky Seeks Priorities for M.I. Building
Because of the difficulty of keeping in touch with activity on the priority approvals, Jakosky felt it wise to be near the seat of action. He expects to be gone at least 10 days.
The latest information received was that approximately one-third of the various requests had been approved. Although all decisions of the government reviewing boards had been favorable, there were six or eight priority requests yet to be acted upon.
Chuck Elliott, Daily Kansan; Donald Keown, publicity; Tom Thompson, Kansas City Star; Dave Whitney, Kansas City Journal; Stan Stauffer, Topeka Journal; Milo Farneti, Topeka Capital; Art O'Don-
The requests call for release for construction purposes of steel, copper, and other such building materials. Work is now impossible here because of the lack of supplies. Needed as Defense Unit
Use of the building as a control laboratory for the $20,000,000 ammonia plant at Pittsburg, Kan., is the basis of argument favoring approval of the priority requests. Kenneth S. Spencer, director of the plant, has asked for facilities in the

Forum To Debate Student Labor
"Should Student Labor Organize?" A panel made up of three students representing opposing views will discuss this subject when symposium meets in the Pine room of Memorial Union builing Friday.
The question is particularly timely because of the labor bill now awaiting action before the Men's Student Council. After a brief discussion by the panel, questions or arguments from the audience will be discussed as Symposium in an open forum group.
Symposium elected an executive committee composed of Orville Wright, Marjorie Houston, and John Waggoner, chairman, to select speakers and direct meetings of the group.
Last year Prof. Raymond Wheeler and Hilden Gibson, instructor in political science, appeared on Symposium discussions. This year students, faculty members, and guest speakers will be invited to appear on programs.

Ticket Sales Hit 250 Spivak Friday
Charlie Spivak will bring his crew to a packed ballroom Friday night if advance sales for the Freshman Frolic are any indication of the attendance.
Early sales usually slump, but ticket sellers at Bell's Music store, the business office, and the hostess desk in the Memorial Union building report a sale of over 250 tickets so far this swing style of rhythm and week Hi-
This means that the 750 limit set by Jim Burdge, dance manager, to assure dancers of the chance to dance in addition to listening, will be reached Friday night.
The reason Spivak is making such an appeal to collegians is his sweet
swing style of rhythm and melody. His sweet arrangements have a full richness and his swing numbers really rock. These attributes are rarely found in a young band, and it is his "solidness" combined with this youthful keynote that accounts for his box-office attraction.
