University Groups Prepare Marriage Courses
Spring Is Here--dents about the intellectual, physical,
and religious aspects of marriage.
It's the same old story.
There's a boy and a girl. Then there's a moon, budding trees, warm breezes—and you know what that means. The result is three courses concerning that popular but battered old institution, marriage.
It all started last Tuesday night at St. John's Church hall when the Newman Club, a Catholic society, opened a series of lectures and discussions aimed at informing students about the intellectual, physical,
and religious aspects of marriage.
Then the Fireside Forum of the Plymouth Congregational church got the same idea. It will start a series of four lectures on men, women, and the family, beginning at 7 p.m. next Sunday.
And just to make sure that everybody really gets the right slant on things, the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. have plans in the formative stage for
The Newman Club lectures and discussions are directed by Father Michael T. Hoffman, moderator. Romantically inclined students will meet at 7:30 the second and fourth Tuesday evenings of every month.

courtship, the money question, marriage and children, unhappy marriages, church legislation on marriage, and divorce.

Students Ask A Reorganized Book Exchange
Reorganization of the book exchange of the Women's Self Governing Association into a nonprofit organization was asked by a group of students circulating petitions on the subject last night.
The petitions, addressed to no specific authority, contained the following statement:
"In order to lower the cost of textbooks to stuednts, we, the undersigned members of the University of Kansas student body, petition that the book exchange be reorganized to operate on a non-profit basis."
At present the book exchange is operated on a profit basis, with the interest from the invested profits used to provide scholarships for women.

Maurice Baringer, college junior, one of the students instrumental in the circulation of the petitions, declared that a number of students had decided that the benefits from the exchange of books should be received by a greater number of students in the form of lower prices

Mill Tax Bill Prospects Sink In Senate Action
Hopes for a Mineral Industries building at the University as a part of a 10-year building plan on the campuses of the five state schools to be supported by a quarter-mill property tax were darkened yesterday when the Kansas Senate returned the bill to committee, encumbered by amendments that hid the real purpose of the act.
The bill had proposed that the fund raised by the quarter-mill tax be given to the five state schools in a fixed proportion, with a provision that the Board of Regents determine the use of the revenue.
This plan had been proposed to eliminate the biennial legislative log-rolling necessary before any school can get money for a building program under the present system.
Reluctance of the legislature to relinquish control of the purse strings led to an amendment to the bill preposed by Senator Barron Phillips, which provided that any money raised by the tax should be spent only under the specific authorization of the legislature.
The amendment passed by a vote of 21 to 13. This and several other (continued to page eight)
