W.S.G.A. Gives $100 to Fund For Men's Dorm
Jean Steele, c'41, gave a report of the activities of the general committee on the dormitory drive and presented a resolution that the W.S.G.A. give $100 to the dormitory fund to be spent subject to the approval of a committee composed of O'Theen Huff, c'41, president of W.S.G.A., Jean Steele, c'41, and Nancy Kerber, fa'42, which proposal met with the unanimous approval of the council.
The bill to keep the office of the dance manager, passed by the M.S.C., was amended and passed by the W.S.G.A. to the effect that the manager would be subject to a committee of four members, two of which are to be appointed by each council. By this bill, he will be paid a fixed salary instead of a salary based on a sliding scale, as has been the case. Before the bill becomes effective, it will be necessary for M.S.C. to accept the amendments made last night.
W. S.G.A. appropriated $100 last right at its regular meeting for the men's dormitory fund, an increase of $25 over the grant recently passed by the M.S.C.
The varsity dance manager bill and a bill affecting parking regulations were amended and passed in rapid succession by the council.
The parking bill, which came over from the M.S.C. met with a similar fate when it was torn down and remedied to suit the fancies of the feminine legislators.
According to the financial report by Jean Robertson, c'41, the deficit incurred from the musical show "Sing 'n Swing" was $107. The balance in the treasury amounts to $557.98, after a total expenditure by the council for the year July 1, 1939 to May 14, 1940 of $1,349.25.
Had the little man, placed above the entrance to the library to denote progress of the Y.M.C.A. drive for a $400 Chinese fund, kept walking, he would have fallen on the lawn, because final results show that a total of $425 was raised from sources within the University.
Hill Chinese Fund Goes Over Goal
The $400 was given to the national committee and $25 was given to Dr. Koo, to finance his trip on to Canada. In addition to the money secured on the Hill, persons downtown donated $207, making a total of $632 from the city of Lawrence.
Last year the amount given to the Chinese was $407.

FDR To Request New War Plan
Washington, May 15—(UP)—President Roosevelt will ask Congress today or tomorrow for a war preparedness program that may exceed the original $500,000,000 cost estimate, but will fall short of $1,000,000,000.
Major emphasis is expected to be placed on land and air forces. The army—notably anti-aircraft defense and mechanized equipment—apparently is about to come into its own after lean years.
The new defense program will cover additional immediate spending and future authorizations. It will again break all peace-time national defense spending records.
Mr. Roosevelt has asked Congress several times to break previous peace-time record for armaments. But this request comes in the face of Europe's spreading conflagration and in an effort to keep that "four-alarm" fire out of the Western Hemisphere.
Overall needs for the army's proposed "protective mobilization force" to put 1,000,000 men in the field within three months of the outbreak of war would cost about $1,465,000,000 divided as follows:
2. $225,000,000 for "critical" or first priority items.
1. $84,000,000 for "essential"
items.
3. $300,000,000 for the air corps.
4. Approximately $100,000,000 for improving industrial production conditions.
