ISA Begins Social Clubs Campaign
That the success or failure of the independent social clubs determines the status of the Independent Student's Association as a whole was the conclusion of the central council of the I.S.A. at its meeting Sunday afternoon.
In line with the idea that the clubs must be a success in order that the whole organization may succeed, Fred Robertson, I.S.A. president, will be a meeting of the club officers in the near future to select club names and to evolve a complete program for the clubs in the spring semester. Other Officers Elected Sunday
As yet the central council has not selected a new social club director, but other officers elected Sunday were Dorothy May, college junior; secretary; Mary Gene Hull, college sophomore, social chairman; Donn Mosser, college junior, vice-president; and Howard Sells, college sophomore, business manager.
The council changed the time of its weekly meetings to 7 p.m. Tuesday. It will meet tonight in Watkins hall.
Under tentative plans made by the council, all members of the central council will attend the I.S.A. national convention to be held in Austin, Tex., March 28-29. At the convention, independent students from colleges and universities throughout the country will meet to exchange ideas concerning improvements of local I.S.A. programs.
A crew of men from the buildings and grounds department are working to eliminate the muddy conditions present in the parking lots, C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds said recently. Parking spaces on the campus are being covered with crushed rock from the University rock quarry.

Reduce Cabinet In YM-YWCA Reorganization
Effective reorganization of the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. was the chief topic discussed at a meeting of the two organizations this afternoon in the Memorial Union building.
Executive officers explained the new set-up, which "effects a closer type of organization between the two groups," according to John Moore, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
"Heterofore, the members of the organizations have been doing practically everything together but with-
Meyer to Head Correspondents; Replaces Mosser
A change in the chairmanship in the Student Correspondents Bureau took effect today when Nation Meyer, college sophomore, replaced Donn Mosser, college junior, at a meeting held this afternoon in the journalism building.
The announcement of the shift was made by Charles Wright, chairman of the State Wide Activities, of which the correspondents bureau is a division. Wright said that Mosser was so busy with other activities that he did not have enough time to do a thorough job of heading the bureau.
A follow-up meeting of the bureau will be held tomorrow at the same time and place
Fee Payments Behind Schedule
A total of 2,128 students had paid fees for the spring semester at the last complete check yesterday noon, Karl Klooz, bursar, said this morning.
Klooz estimated that this number would be approximately one-half the total number of fee payments. At this time last spring semester, 2,278 students, 150 more than this year, had paid fees.
"This figure cannot be taken as an accurate estimate of enrollment decrease." Mr. Klooz said, "because no count has yet been received on the number of medical students transferred to Kansas City and fig-

Students Turn Lobbyists--stairs to hear Chancellor Deane W. Malott, who told them briefly about University needs and hopes.
Senators, Representatives Visit Campus
An entire student body turned lobbyist for a day to polish up their political aspirations yesterday on six busloads of senators and representatives from the state legislature.
All 280 of the visiting firemen, who arrived with their families from Topeka yesterday at 3:25 p.m., spent the later part of the afternoon being Cook-toured around the campus.
---Entertain Legislature
They were shown through the Memorial Union building, Dyche museum, Battenfeld and Templin halls, and Haworth hall, to say nothing of the laboratories and collections of the State Geological Survey in Hoch auditorium.
After admiring Uncle Jimmy Green's statute in front of Green hall, the lawmakers stopped off at the Memorial Union fountain for a quick one. Then they traipSED upstairs to hear Chancellor Deane W. Malott, who told them briefly about University needs and hopes.
A rather hurried dinner, with students acting as hosts and hostesses, followed the Chancellor's talk.
At the Kansas-Nebraska game Howard Engleman poured in 22 points for the guests to lead the Jayhawks in their 44 to 38 victory. Cheerleaders led the student body
[in three rah's as vocal evidence of their welcome for the legislators.
Immediately after the game the solons re-entered the buses, furnished by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and returned to Topeka.
The legislators were believed to have been favorably impressed with their tour of the University and to have realized its needs, according to Fred S. Montgomery, secretary of the bureau of visual education, who accompanied them on their tour.
University Has Raised Its $25,000
Construction of the new $118,000 military science building on the campus was assured by an announcement today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott that the University had raised its share, $25,000, of the total cost of the structure. None of the money will come from the state.
Funds for the 3-story limestone structure have been provided by three sources: The National Defense Council, a WPA allotment, and several personal contributions obtained by the University Endowment Association.
The sum of $25,000 in cash was required of the University as its share of the building costs. Also the University is to furnish stone, architects, services, supervision, and trucks.
Many Contributors
The Endowment Association raised the University's share of the building costs through personal contributions. Largest donors to the building were Mrs. Paul A. Dinsmoor of Lawrence, and Mr. O. Jolliffe of Peabody.
The new building will be another phase of the University's cooperation in national defense program. The structure will house the offices and classrooms of the University's R.O.T.C. unit and provide space for indoor drill, target practice, and storage. Plans call for construction about 100 yards southwest of Hoch auditorium, a short distance from the parade grounds. Drilling for the foundation piles already has begun. Mrs. Dinsmoor's contribution was made in memory of her husband, the late Paul Addison Dinsmoor, and was prompted by his interest in military science. Mr. Jolliffe, president of the Peabody State Bank, is a well-known Kansas business man, and recently contributed to a men's dormitory to Baker University.
Others Who Gave
Other contributors to the building fund were Henry J. Allen, former Kansas governor who was in office when the University R.O.-T.C. was established; Gordon T. Beaham, Kansas City, Mo.; C. L Burst, Hutchinson; Dr. Roy Cross, Kansas City, Mo.; John H. Kane, Bartlesville, Okla.; C. W Fletcher, Newark, N. J.; W. T. Grant, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. A. J. Hunt, Arkansas City; H. E. Muchic, Atchison; W. D. Pratt, Fredonia; John T. Stewart, Wellington; Larrance Page, Berkeley, Calif.; J. T. Strickler, Kansas City; Harry Darby, Kansas City, Kan.; Webb Holloway, Kansas City; Guy Ormiston, Arkansas City;
