Legislature Approves Budget
... Mineral Industries Building Appropriation Passed
Appropriation Bill Assures Building
The University was assured of a Mineral Industries building yesterday when both branches of the legislature approved a conference report on the appropriation bill and sent it to Governor Ratner without changing any of the items affecting the University's budgets.
All of the bills before the legislature in which the University was concerned were approved, including the mill tax measure, the bill permitting an addition to the Union building to be paid for by student fees, and the general appropriations bill.
As plans now stand, the $408,500 Mineral Industries building will be a three-storied affair and will be erected on the park-
Prommers Swing Tomorrow
Winter Formal Brings Music Of 'Bobcats'
Real "Dixieland" music is on tap for Junior Prommers tomorrow night from 8 to 12 p.m. when Bob Crosby and his Bobcats hold forth in the Memorial Union ballroom. Late yesterday afternoon only 176 tickets had been sold.
Medics to Hold Post Grad Clinic
Fred Littioy, varsity dance manager, said yesterday that although it is spring, the Prom will be a winter formal. Men and women both are expected to wear formal attire. Plays "Dixieland"
Crosby's organization not only plays the original "Dixieland" rhythm but features an adaptation of the old jazz style which is more danceable.
Dancers tomorrow night will hear some of the best musicians in the country with the Crosby group. Ray Bauduc, one of America's finest drummers, guitarist Nappy LaMare, and saxaphonists are all from New Orleans, home of the "Dixieland" music which is the distinctive feature of Crosby's band.
Vocalists with the Bobcats are Crosby, Nappy LaMare, and beautiul Liz Tilton.
The Crosby band is not new to University students. The "Dixie-landers" played for the Senior Cakewalk in 1937.
Crosby Has Two Vocalists
The tenth annual post graduate clinic of the School of Medicine will be held at the University hospital in Kansas City, Kan., April 7-10. The program this year will emphasize diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
PIG IN PARLOR--phone booth, causing several high blood pressure lasses to faint.
Phi Psi's Renew Feud With Theta's
Strong and silent, the men of Phi Kappa Psi aren't putting out anything concerning their role in the pig episode at the Kappa Alpha Theta house Thursday night. But the finger of suspicion points. The Theta-Phi $ ^{\textcircled{4}} $
Spitting and fuming between Theta's and Phi Psi's has gone on for a long time. In 1924 the men hired a Negro boy to haunt a Theta telephone booth, causing several high blood pressure lasses to faint.
Last Wednesday night somebody opened a Theta window and shoved in the old Theta-Phi Psi hatchet, which since October 3, 1936, had been buried in front of the old Theta residence next to the Phi Psi house.
Thursday night someone sneaked a 40-pound Red Hampshire pig into the Theta parlor.
In 1933 and again in '36, Phi Psi's serenaded to lure unsuspecting maidens to the windows, then let loose with a volley of eggs. Twice they turned a skunk loose at a Theta hour dance.
Fingers crossed, the feuding frats buried the hatchet in 1936.
In February, 1938, the Theta's moved to their house on Tennessee street. After they left the Phi Psi neighborhood, the dove of peace had the upper hand until now.

Easter
Vacation Brings
Full Moon
Easter vacation starts officially Wednesday noon, April 9, and from there on out the town cops and the stop lights are on their own.
When a guy's been writing a letter every day and a special on Sunday ever since the semester started, it's high time to restake claims. Once a college man always a college man but a little of that full moon next week will change the book-larnin' attitude tremendously. Education is a wonderful thing, but Easter vacations are wonderfuller.
