Committee Will Study Men's Dorm
M.S.C. Selects Members To Investigate Proposal: Hall May Be Erected On Campus in Future
Possibility that a men's dormitory may be erected on the Campus in the future appeared last night when, a its first business session, a committee and New Men's Student Council was appointed to investigate such proposals.
The committee was appointed by Blaine Grimes, c39, M.S.C. president, and is composed of two members each from Pachacamac and PS.GL. Purpose of the committee Grimes said, will be to investigate the possibility of such a project Members of the committee are: Andy Hilbard, c39; Loren Bohlenbust m40; Bill Farmer, c39; C. H. Mullen, c39; and Grimes to act as chairman.
Charges that the new Student Forums Board, announced Sunday in the Kansan, was chosen illegally were brought to the attention of the board by Bali Schaeffer, c'40, on the work of the board during the past year.
Discussion of the allegedly invalid action began after Jim Haughey, 139, stated that the temporary committee which appoints new Forums Board members was not complete and that one member of the appointing group had not been notified of the meeting for that purpose.
Illegal Procedure
Haughey's specific charges were that the retiring board, which is entitled to two representatives on the temporary committee, did not meet to elect those representatives. Members of the Council who are on the board and told said they have not been notified of a hearing if one was called.
Acting on a motion by Clifford Willis, *c* 39, which was approved by the Council, President Grimes said he would appoint a four-man non-partisan committee today to investigate the alleged illegal procedure and refer the matter to Chancellor E. H. Lindley.
If Chancellor Lindley holds that the board was chosen in an invalid manner, it was understood, the newiy appointed board would be non-exist-

We're going to have to call out the Humane Society on the Ph Gams if they pull any more tricks on poor defender ducks. It seems that they found one of the long-billed feathered friends in front of the duck's back. Some "scientist" in the crowd decided on an experiment. He took an eye dropper and squirted a dropper of "cough medicine" down the duck's beak. He followed this by one of water. After a few test runs of this mixture it was found that the duck had lost all taste for water, but went for the fire water in a big bucket. Then he got getting crossed when it walked. It is a shame that a story with so much spirit and fun should have a sad ending, but it does. The duck went to duck heaven the next day.

Winners of the annual Schott Award for outstanding work in journalism at the University were announced yesterday by L. N. Flint, chairman of the journalism. Those who w"**11** receive the award. *c*39, Marvin Goebel, *c*39, *d.* Harold Addington, *c*39
The awards were established by Mrs. Frances Schott as a memorial to her husband, Mr. Henry Schott, prominent newspaper and advertising executive, who died in 1911. In 1928, Mrs. Schott gave the University 400, and since that date she has bestowed annually among the most promising juniors in the department of journalism.
Selection are made by the faculty on the basis of character, academic work, and activities on the Hill. When she established the award, Mrs. Schott asked that consideration also be given to the enterprise, curiosity, resourcefulness and ability of the news writers These qualities, she believed, made good newspapermen.
Mr. Schott attended the University from 1890 to 1892.
From 1897 to 1911 Mr. Schott was an editorial expert of the Kansas City Star. For a time he was advertising manager of Montgomery Word and company, and just before death ended his career, he was appointed associate executive of Nation's Business.

Students who have CSEP job this year and wish to continue next year must fill out a new application blank, and it will be necessary that they leave their names and summer addresses in the CSEP office.

The second and final advanced student recital will he held in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall to clock. The complete program follows.
The enrollment last year was 249. This year it is 348. This represents a 40 per cent increase and has advanced the School of Business from the fifth largest school in the University to that of third in size.
Classroom facilities in Frank Strong hall, which formerly offered sufficient space, are no longer adequate to meet the increased enrollment. Consequently, it has been necessary to use rooms in other buildings on the Campus for School of Business classes.
Other schools are allowing additional money in their budget to construct buildings for this growing phase of student education. At the University of Oklahoma, a new school will be built for its first time this year. Denver University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, Northwestern University, University of Chicago, Indiana University, and University of Illinois all have separate buildings for such a school.
In the debate that follows, Miss Bennett will contend that America should refrain from making any foreign alliance for fear America will be drawn into another war to "make the world safe for democracy."
Her opponent will be Miss Celeste Strack, one of the founders and first officers of the A.S.U., who will support the policy of collective security or the alliance of democratic nations against Fascist aggressiveness.
A new building to house the School of Business is greatly needed on the Campus of the University, according to a petition drafted by Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity.

"2. A new building and more space would make possible the installation of many courses, which are offered by other universities but which cannot be presented here under existing conditions.
"5. A modern building with adequate facilities would contain a library with those books pertaining to the School of Business which are read daily by the students.

4. A new building would make it possible for students to hold forum discussions, in which they could express their practices and problems of the day.

Jay Jaree Picnic
'Rained In' Memorial
Union Ballroom
The rain that was supposed to stop yesterday afternoon, didn't, so the Jay Jane picnic was held in the Memorial Union ballroom. This picnic was scheduled to start at 4:30, but when the rain started to come down, most of the women did not appear at the meeting place.
Then followed a freized calling of the women, with the result that 27 finally showed up. The 27 were then served with enough food for 57, and an enjoyable table eating double the size. Then they entertained themselves by dancing.
The Phi Delt, who were having their senior banquet upstairs in the Pine room, had just about decided that the women were favoring them. Then, the perfect picnic over, the women went their own private ways.
This picnic was in honor of the new pledges and the outgoing seniors, and was under the direction of Hilda Slentz, c. 39. Maule Maude Elliott, a sponsor of the club, w.a there to keep the women in hand.
