★ Appropriation Passes After Lengthy Debate and Over Opposition of P.S.G.L.
It took almost an hour of heated defate to do it but the Pachacamac majority on the Men's Student Council finally asserted its numerical superiority last night and voted an appropriation of $350 for the School of Engineering's biennial expo. The vote was 15 to 5.
Approval of the appropriation, a question that saw party lines severely drawn in the discussion although not in the voting, came after an amendment reducing the amount to $150 had been defeated.
Five Refuse to Vote
The appropriation, a Pachacamac platform plank, was opposed by the P.S.G.L. faction on the grounds that the money for the exposition should come from the University budget. There was a hurried scramble to get on the "yes" side of the roll call after the amendment to cut the appropriation to $150 had failed. Those who refused to vote for the original appropriation were Jim Hauley, 'l99, Dick McMillen, 'l99, Marvin Cox, b'39, Fred Littco, c'38, and Clarence Peterson, c'42.
The fund will be held in balance until next year since the expiration will be held next in the spring of 1940. At Kansas State College where a similar event draws 12,000 visitors to the campus over a weekend. $700 is received from the student council.
Pachacamaes Vote as Group
The Pachamesan, voting en bloc,
defeated the motion of PSGL
Haughey to set the men's election
date for April 4. With their presi-
dential candidate selected, the set-
ting of the election date would have
given PSGL. the jump on the oppo-
nition party which has not yet an-
ounced its choice for the head job
on the M.S.C.
A new member of the council was initiated when the Rising Sun party chose Jack Herrizon, c'40, to take the pice of Loren Bebenblust who transferred to the Kansas City division of the School of Medicine at the end of last semester. The party to which the resigning member of the council belongs is permitted to appoint his successor. Harrison will represent the School of Medicine on the council.
Men's rooming house standards took a goering over in a report given by Bob McLean, c40. Payload to Wilbur McLean, c39, for his work in betterting student rooming and boarding house conditions, the council member reported that the situation in Lawrence was still deplorable because it is impossible to enforce standards on the proprietors. The remedy, according to the report, is to find some means of erecting a men's dormitory that will raise the standards through competition.

Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, spoke on "Housing" yesterday afternoon to a group of student correspondents for Kansas papers. Miss Meguiar, who is a home economist, has been making a careful study of housing conditions, and she stated that one of the best kinds of housing for university students is a dormitory.
Many advantages are received from dormitory life. It gives a person greater social life, better housing conditions for less cost, and offers opportunities to get lecturers or visiting noted persons to come and talk to the group. "Dormitory life 'rubs out' all weak spots. It takes away shyness, develops leadership skills and encourages socialization. The mere fact of living together and sharing the same responsibilities promotes a sense of loyalty both to the house and to the university," stated Miss Megular.
Meguiar Speaks on Housing To Student Correspondents
The University of Kansas has three main dormitories for women. Corbin hall, which houses 120 women, was given through appropriations. Watkins and Miller halls, each housing 39 women, were given through appropriations. Watkins, the last two halls named are occupied by students who have

Corbin hall ranks among the finest dormitories in the country. The women of the University like the dormitories, because, Miss Meguiar said, "we could easily fill another dormitory the size of Corbin."

Ghosts Take Intramural Championship
- Team I is Undefected During Season; Trounce Kappa Sig's 23 to 16 in Final Battle
By Clint Wood, c'40
Floyd Kelly's Galloping ghosts won the University intramural basketball championship by defeating Kappa Sigma 23 to 16 last night in Robinson gymnasium. The Ghosts, undefeated during the regularly scheduled season, turned back the Comets in the first round of the playoffs, squeezed through to a one point victory over the fraternity champion L'atta Chi's and climaxed their championship drive by handing the Kappa SIG's two straight defeats in the finals.
The Sig's arrived early and went warm up session in which they kept up an inexpensive line of "chatter" and encouragement to each other. Kelly's Ghosts came in a few minutes before the game and warmed up rather listlessly, seemingly overconfident.
Both Teams Erratic
Several minutes of playing time elapsed before Hare made good on a free throw for the Ghosts when he was fouled by Pierson. Henley put the Sig's out in front with a driving one-handed shot under the basket. The Kappa Sig's seemed to be trying too hard because they missed many scoring opportunities and again lost the lead when Shupie fed Kelly the ball for a set up. Both teams tried hard to score and passed through the center field, it itaw many times. Kelly missed three setups in a row and the quarter ended as Cave dropped in a long shot form the side that didn't even touch the rim, putting Kappa Sigma in front 4 to 3.
Starting the second quarter, Coffin put the Ghosts out in front again with a long shot and Westerhaus added a free throw when he was fouled by Hensley. Hensley tided the score with a long shot and dropped in another after Coffin had made a free throw when fouled by Cave. Kelly made a one-on-one center court to give his Ghosts a lead which they never relinquished. Hensley made a set up for Kappa Sigma but Hare tipped one in for the Ghosts and he half ended with the score 11 to 10 in favor of the Galloping Ghosts. Sir's Miss Setups
Starting the second half the Sig's missed many scoring opportunities through their inability to hit the basket and the Ghosts began scoring with a setup by Shupe which was a beautiful underhanded shot, a long one by Coffin, a side shot by Robinson, and another unidentified by Shupe to the Ghosts a 19 to 10 lead at the end of the third quarter, during which the Sig's failed to score a single point.
Dawes started the final period by making a freewheel when Southern pushed him. Then Steve Cave reopened the scoring for Kappa Sigma by making the longest shot of the game, past the center of the court and near one side, which dropped through hardly disturbing the netting. Hare then tipped in a rebound for the Ghosts and Shupa made another free throw when a foul was called on Cave for hacking. With less than a minute of playing time left and the Ghosts leading by 11 points the Sig's tried desperately to score.
However Hensley was the only oen who could find the range. He
