Men's Glee Club Opens in Salina
(The following story, written by Gray Dorsey, publisher of the Kansas, is the first of a series which will appear this week describing the adventures of the members of the University Men's Glee club on their good will tour through Kansas. Any similarity between Dorsey's dispatches and the work of the Kansan's regular reporters is purely coincidental.)

Mill Tax Levy Passes House By 75-44 Vote
The one-fourth mill tax levy bill which assures the long range building program for state schools passed the Kansas House of Representatives this morning by a vote of 75 to 43.
The bill has been sent back to the senate for concurrence to house amendments and the bill is expected to be sent to the governor before the end of the week.
In speaking of the passage of the bill Chancellor Deane W. Malott said early this afternoon, "I think it is a great step forward for the educational institutions of the state to have the legislature recognize the building needs of the educational program."
The levy on all property subject to ad valorem taxation will begin in 1942 and is expected to raise about $600,000 per year.
Beginning in 1943 the state Board of Regents will submit an annual report to the legislature showing the needs of state schools in new buildings, equipment and construction.
Schedule Foreign Correspondent For Two Speeches On War Tomorrow
Lekand Stowe, famed foreign correspondent who will speak at 8:20 o'clock tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium, will be the guest speaker at a special dinner meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, men's honorary journalism fraternity, tomorrow night, Larry Winn, president of the organization, said today. Dolph Simons, business manager of the Lawrence Journal World, will also be a guest speaker.
The dinner meeting will be held at 6:30 o'clock tomorrow night in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building. "In answer to our invitation Stowe said he would be glad to attend if he are
rived in Lawrence on time," Winn said.
The well-known reporter will discuss "Hitler Over Europe" in his speech in Hoch auditorium. For the past 15 years he has been covering the European news front, including the uprisings and revolution in Spain, the Ethiopian war, the overthrow of the French government, and trans-Atlantic flights of Lindbergh and others.
In 1930 Stowe was awarded the Pulitzer prize for the best interpretative writings of any American correspondent abroad with his dispatches on the Young reparations program.
Material, incidents and experiences which make up the body of the talk he will give here, were gained through touring Europe since the spring of 1339, and following the movements of Hitler and the war situation.
