No Report Received On Building Plan
Mrs. D. H. McCreath, president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women, said yesterday that she had not yet received word concerning the recommendation by a committee of the organization's Kansas division that the University be included in a proposed 10-year building plan for Kansas schools
An extensive dormitory building program for five state educational institutions was reported as recommended by the committee to the State Board of Regents.
The committee found that Fort Hays State Teachers College, housed 36 percent of its students in dormitories while the other four Kansas institutions have such facilities for only 3 to 8 percent of their students.
Twenty-six schools surveyed in other central and western states are housing for 10 to 85 percent of their students, in dormitories, the committee stated.
A recommendation that the following be included in a proposed 10-year building program for Kansas schools was submitted:
University of Kansas—Residence halls and light housekeeping units for women; additional residence halls for men with average incomes and those who are self-supporting.
Kansas State College—A dormitory for women.
Pittsburg Teachers College Dormitory for freshmen women and two for freshmen men.
Emporia Teachers College-A women's dormitory and a men's dormitory.
Fort Hays—Wing for Custer hall for women and replacement of seven wooden barracks used as men's dormitories since 1934.
Members of the committee were Mrs. Edward Curry, Topeka; Miss Lula Blanche Hiatt, Winfield; and Mrs. O. Remn, Arkansas City.
Quarterback Club To Meet
The Downtown Quarterback club will meet tomorrow evening at 7:30 in the Eldridge grill room. The club is sponsored by the K.U. Relays or organization.
Gwinn Henry, University football coach, will discuss the Kansas-Iowa State football game with motion pictures of the game.
Lawson Addresses Teachers
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, addressed members of the Leavenworth County Teachers' association yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
Stars in Defeat
ED HALL
Ed Hall, Jayhawk fullback who was named acting captain before yesterday's game, showed his appreciation by his outstanding play throughout the afternoon although Kansas lost to Iowa State by a score of 7 to 0.
Rats In His Belfry
Sixty rats are thriving under the motherly care of Leo Hellmer, gr, in the east basement of Frank Strong hall. Statistics gathered from the antics of these rodents will form the solid portion of Mr. Hellmer's doctoral dissertation. So Mr. Hellmen has nightmares about fire, flood, and disease in the eastern precinct of Frank Strong basement.
Twenty rats live in each of three different rooms in ticketed cages. That still makes a grand total of 60 rats, perhaps 62 by the time you read this. The hot room is kept at a temperature of 90 degrees, the cold room at 50, and the control room at 70. Rodents thrive the best in the cold room and are definitely ill in the hot room.
Time will reveal other facts to the spectators of ratdom. Keep tuned to the KANSAN for a rat-to-rat summary.
Fine Arts Graduate Gives Recital
John Moore, '29, pianist, gave a faculty recital Friday night at Oklahoma A&M college. Mr. Moore received his M.M. degree from the University of Kansas in 1938.
Penalties Halt Jayhawk Drive
Ames, Iowa—(Special to the Kansan)—Balked by pass interceptions and costly penalties deep in Iowa State territory, four Kansas touchdown drives fell short of their goal in the third quarter on a rain swept field here yesterday and the Jayhawks lost to the Cyclones 7 to 0 in the first Big Six game of the

Iowa State gained its margin of victory on the third play of the second quarter when Royal Lohry, sophomore halfback, smashed over from the one-half yard line after Kansas had been penalized for offside. Paul Darling kicked the extra point.
Hank Wilder, 200-pound Iowa State ace, entered the game late in the first period and played a leading hand in the Cyclone triumph. Iowa State had the ball on the Kansas 45 yard line when Wilder came into the fray and in eight plays the Cyclones punched over a touchdown with Hammerin' Hank leading the way.
Wilder Runs Wild
Wilder and Lohry alternated at carrying the ball to the Jayhawk 32 yard stripe. Then the Cyclone star ripped off gains of 11 and 14 yards to place the pigskin on the seven yard marker. Darling gained two yards through the left side of the Kansas line as the gun ended the first quarter.
Jayhawk Defense Stiffens
Here the Jayhawk defense rose to hurl back thrusts by Lohry and Wilder for no gain. On the third down, Kansas once more repulsed the Iowa State bid for a touchdown but an offside penalty was called (continued on page five)

Women Lead Men In Scholastic Rank
The annual scholarship ranking of the University by schools and organizations, released yesterday by George O. Foster, registrar, reveals that women are leading the men in grade point averages.
The honorary fraternities and sororities as a group have the highest grade point averages with 19 of the organizations having above a two-point norm. The lowest of the whole group is 1.47 and the highest 2.70.
In the report given below the following key is used. "A" equals three points; "B" equals two; "C" equals one; "D" equals zero; and "F" equals a minus one point. The organization is negro (*); the organization is not a member of the interfraternity council $(\frac{1}{7})$. The numbers following the name indicate the number of active members in that group used in computing the averages.

Battenfelds To Entertain In New Hall
The 52 members of Battenfeld hall and the housemother, Mrs. R. D. Montgomery, will be at home to between 300 and 500 Kansas Citians between 3 and 6 o'clock this afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Battenfeld, of Kansas City, donors of the hall, open the doors of the new men's dormitory to their Kansas City friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Battenfeld and Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Maolt will receive the guests at the invitational affair. No formal program has been planned, Mrs. Montgomery said, but tea will be served during the afternoon.
While tomorrow's affair is for Kansas City friends of the Battenfeld family, townpeople will be given an opportunity to see the hall early next month. On Nov. 9 all three of the new men's dormitories will be open during Homecoming, it was said.
Construction was begun last spring on the Battenfeld hall, which is a memorial to John Battenfeld, son of the donors who was killed last December in a motor car crash near Lawrence. It was completed during the summer and was ready for occupancy this fall.
