Appropriation Plan Will Assure New Building
by FRED EBERHARDT
The University's hoped-for Mineral Industries building apparently seemed nearly assured yesterday when leaders in the Kansas house and senate indicated that a direct appropriation of $750,000 for new buildings at three state schools likely would be made by the present legislature.
Although no definite action was$^\textcircled{*} $
Although no definite taken, the point that the ways and means committee would recommend such expenditure was brought up in Senate discussion of the mill tax bill yesterday.
The Mill Tax Bill
The mill tax bill is a proposal to earmark a special property tax of a quarter mill levy for a fund that amounts to $640,000 a year, to be used in erecting needed buildings at the five state-supported schools. This measure has been counted on to furnish the funds for the Mineral Industries building in the event that no specific appropriation was made by the legislature.
Senator Coleman declared that action on the mill tax bill had been held up awaiting information as to whether the ways and means committee would make the direct appropriation, and that now such action seemed fairly certain, consideration of the tax levy proposal could proceed.
Senator Rolla Coleman secured the adoption of an amendment to the mill tax bill which would delay the beginning of the tax levy until 1942, because, he said, it now seems clear that the ways and means committee will take care of the immediate needs of the larger schools with a direct appropriation o $750,000.
This appropriation is apparently intended to provide for the erection of the Mineral Industries building, a library at Emporia State Teachers College and a 4-H club field house at Kansas State Agriculture College. Action Held Up
If the tax proposal does pass, the first appropriation from the new fund will be made by the 1943 legislature.

200 Coming For Art Meet March 9-15
An expected 200 high school students, art teachers, principals and others interested in art, will come to the University this week, March 9-15 for the High School Art conference and exhibition.
Independent Students Like Box Suppers
Entries for the art exhibit are coming in fast, according to Marjorie Whitney, acting chairman of the design department. Twenty schools already have submitted art work, she said, and more entries are coming in daily. Exhibits will go on display Tuesday in various buildings over the campus.
Conference To Help Students
This joint exhibition and conference has been planned to provide helpful and stimulating experience to participating students, to enable the art departments of Kansas schools to see what is being done by other schools of similar size, and to obtain constructive criticism of student work by competent judges.
Schools are permitted to enter for exhibitions examples of drawing painting, design, sculpture, craftwork, photography, and advertising designed by their students.
Work exhibited will be individually rated, and a total rating of (continued to page eight)

The strongest combine would seem to be the well organized Corbin - Miller - Watkins - Kappa - Theta-Gamma Phi organization. This is the group with which the Pi Phis have broken. Evidently the Pi Phis grew tired of the power that "Mother Goose Corbin" wields over her "string of little ducklings." But, wasn't there an ugly duckling in fairy lore, too?
NUMBER 102.
Although there are only two candidates for all but one office, that of sophomore representative, women politicians declare that three definite alignments have appeared.
Apparently the instigators of the present political break-up of the old organizations are the Arrow girls of Pi Beta Phi, who have drifted away from the old Corbin hall-dominated sorority combine to support their candidates with what independent votes they can draw. Pi Plis Drift
It is interesting to note that the one race which does have three candidates entered, that of sophomore secretary, represents all three groups with Helen Wilkins, a Gamma Phi; Betty Brownlee, an Alpha Chi; and Mary Jo Cox, an independent.
The Pi Phis profess to throw their support to neither candidate for this office, but there will no doubt be a deal of vote trading before election day, since there are only two candidates and three combines for all but one office.
The Corbin combine at present favors the other presidential candidate, Doris Twente. Both candidates are Lawrence girls.

Corbin For Twente
Miss Novaes, who has appeared as solo artist with the Kansas City Philharmonic throughout the past week, comes to Lawrence tomorrow with an envied reputation to uphold. "Guiomar Novaes is one of the greatest pianists of the world," wrote the Chicago Herald-Examiner.
Novaes To Play Piano Concert Tomorrow
Student activity books will admit. Non-student admissions are $2, $1.50, and $1, and tickets may be purchased at the School of Fine Arts office, Bell Music Co., and the Round Corner Drug Store.
Guiamor Novas, celebrated woman pianist from the coffee-country of Brazil, will uphold the Brazilian tradition of producing stimulants when she presented her concert of selected piano music in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 p.m. tomorrow.
Traditional Spanish and Latin-American music will be featured in Miss Novaes' concert tomorrow night. Two sonatas by Scarlatti, two Brazilian folk songs, and two numbers by Albeniz are included in the program. The pianist also will play Chopin's "Sonata in B Minor, Opus 58," and numbers by Mozart and Schumann.

Dogs cause more trouble than anybody. Anyway in the case of Don Caylor, college sophomore.
Friday evening at Templin hall, he was carrying a kettle of scalding water across the kitchen. A stary dog which had entered the hall crossed his path. Result: Cayler was treated at Watkins Memorial hospital for first and second degree burns on his chest and left leg.
Group Will Promote Cooperatives
A University corporation has been organized to acquire suitable houses by lease or purchase, and lease or sub-lease them for cooperative houses to student groups.
With an initial group of four students, five faculty members, and a Lawrence businessman, the articles of incorporation were signed last Tuesday by a notary public. The Y.M.C.A. has already transferred $400 to the corporation and considers it as a loan for an indefinite period.
All of the profit in the Y.M.C.A. concession fund for the next two years will be used to help the cooperative houses under the association.
Purpose of the Corporation
As stated in the articles of incorporation, the association is called the University of Kansas Student Housing Association, and "the basic object for which this corporation is organized is to enable students at the University of Kansas to obtain at a minimum cost suitable living quarters, and conditions for the best physical, mental, social, and religious development."
The houses are to be operated on a non-profit basis, and all surplusures are to be used for "general stated purposes of the association." Organizers of the Corporation
Incorporators are Hilden Gibson, instructor of political science and sociology, chairman of the board of directors; Paul Gilles, college sophomore, vice-chairman; Luther Buchle, college sophomore, secretary; George Docking, of the First National bank, treasurer; Paul B.
