SENATE OK's----
according to the Senate approved measure.
As originally proposed and recommended for passage by the house, the measure provided for the distribution of the fund by the Board of Regents, but a senate amendment kept the direction of appropriations under control of the legislature.
Covers Ten-Year Period
The proposed building list covers a ten-year period, but in the event that the measure passes, the Board of Regents will submit a final building program in 1943 and again each 10 years thereafter.
Also included in the tentative building program were the following buildings for the University School of Medicine at Kansas City.
Laboratory building, two additional stories to the present corridor of the hospital for an operating suite and ward, a nurses home addition, improvement of convalescent and tuberculosis ward, and a ward building with space for an additional 100 beds.
For Other Schools
The 10-year building program, as outlined by the Board of Regents, included the following proposals for other state schools:
Kansas State~Home economics building, completion of Waters hall and livestock pavilion, fieldhouse, completion of engineering building, completion of power plant, completion of veterinary hospital, auditorium, and student hospital.
Emporia State Teachers College Remodeling of old library into industrial arts building, and general reconditioning of all buildings.
Fort Hays Teachers College Fine arts building, improved heating plant, and remodeling of industrial arts building.
Pittsburgh State Teachers College High school training and education building, addition to vocation and industrial education shops, and an improved heating plant.
MISS MUSIC BID---touring the state, the judges selected Ninger and Forman from the University. No Kansas entries placed in the orchestra.
K.U. SEEKS---specially on the defense measures and industrial expansion advocated by the Vargas government and the activities of Nazi Germans and fifth columnists in Brazil.
Eggleston Returns
Since the Aggies stopped the Jays 30 to 26 at Stillwater earlier in the season, Oklahoma has added an important star and Kansas has subtracted one. L. J. "Lonnie" Eggleston, leading Cowboy scorer, has recovered from a broken hand, but probably will be sitting on the bench when the starting gong sounds. Iba plans to use him as a climax scorer and shoot him into the game after his mates have worn down the Kansas defense.
The Allenmen will miss Marvin Sollenberger, husky sophomore guard, who is out of the contest with glandular fever. T. P. Hunter will again man the vacated sentinel post. Engleman, Allen, and Kline will open at their usual positions and one of two prize sophomores, John Buescher or Vance Hall, will complete the starting five.
For Oklahoma, Leroy "Red"
Floyd, named on Parke Carroll"
All-Missouri Valley team at guard, will pair with crafty Gene Smelser at the forward spots. Vern Schwertfeger, elongated pivot man and rebounder deluxe, is the center. Bud Millikan and Harvey Pate, who concentrate on stopping basket-conscious forwards, are the first string guards.
JULIEN BRYAN---gents, and Jack Jarrel, city editor of the same paper. Following the initiation and dinner, Chapman, Stauffer, and Jarrel' presided at a roundtable discussion concerning modern newspaper trends.
According to Bryan, American influence and cooperation is seen in every aspect of the Brazilian defense program.
"Bryan is always a favorite with college audiences and his lecture and pictures this year should prove interesting," said Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor.
This will be the speaker's third appearance on the University campus. He spoke on Russia on the lecture course in March, 1935, and again in February, 1938, under the auspices of the Student Forum Board.
SIGMA DELTA CHI--gents, and Jack Jarrel, city editor of the same paper. Following the initiation and dinner, Chapman, Stauffer, and Jarrel' presided at a roundtable discussion concerning modern newspaper trends.

Primary Students Begin Flights
Primary students in the CAA flying courses are making their preliminary flights this week. They are organized into units of 10 men each. Students in three of these units flew Saturday, and another unit was in action today. Strong winds kept the fliers grounded yesterday, Bill Ashcraft, flight director, said today.
The 30 secondary students, largest group in the two-year history of the course, will be flying by the end of this week or early next week.
MUDDY KAW----
(continued from page six) treating sections each partitioned by walls of concrete, all of which is also below the floor. However, the devices used in administering the various chemicals to the water are located above, where one can see them. We see a machine which the caretaker informs us is a lime stoker. It is entirely enclosed so that we cannot see its working parts, but we are told that it supplies a steady trickle of lime to the water beneath. The lime, of course, is being added to make the water softer.
Down below the floor, we are told, is a device for removing practically all of the lime after it has been run through the water. This mechanism is called a carbon dioxide grid. Walking toward the center of the building
AT THE JAYHAWKER
we come upon two devices, the alum feeder and the chlorinator. The alum feeder, he tells us, steadily adds alum to the water below, much as the chlorinator feeds the proper amount of chlorine.
As the heroine of "Come Live with Me," Hedy Lamarr starts out by paying James Stewart $17.80 a week to be his "unkissed bride." But as the scene above indicates, before the final reels are over, Miss Lamarr changes her mind about the "unkissed" part of the bargain. The new comedy-romance co-star Stewart and Hedy for the first time.
Meets State Tests
We see two more machines near the end of the floor. The first one feeds sodium bisulphite into the water; the second mechanism adds a small amount of carbon. The water is now ready for the final filters. From there it goes up into the laboratory, where it is tested for safety, absence of odor, hardness, etc., every two hours during the day and night. A registered chemist supervises the testing. The water must also meet the requirements of the State Board of Health, and it is tested by a representative of the Board twice a week
The water is now ready for use and is on the last lap of the journey as it passes through master meters which register the amount of flow. It is pumped into the mains directly east
of the plant itself; from these mains it is distributed for city-wide consumption.
Water for 4,200
The Lawrence system supplies water to 4,200 customers; the average bill is $2.26 per month for each consumer. This average is brought quite high, however, because some of the University plants have monthly bills running as high as $450 per month, with an average around $300. At the University, and also at Haskell Institute, the water is taken in from the city through a single meter and then distributed over the respective areas. The University redistributes its supply by its own pumping equipment in the power plant, southeast of Fowler Shops.

Reduction in odor by 85.4 per cent and in hardness by 50.2 per cent results from the treating process. During the course of the 24-hour day, 1,451,000 gallons of water are pumped through the plant, more than 2,500 pounds of chemicals used, and more than 4,600 pounds of coal consumed.
