Each adviser will have not to exceed ten freshmen as advises the adviser will meet with them at various times. The freshman Week as will be scheduled.
"The first meeting will be compulsory in order that all may become acquainted with the plan and become aware of its value," exclaimed Mr. Brown when men. "Thereafter it will be placed upon a purely voluntary basis."

Work Progresses Rapidly
With the ground floor excavation finished, work on the basement of the new nurses home to be erected on the slope southwest of Watkins Memorial hospital was progressing rapidly today.
Workmen who commenced the job Friday met early difficulty when the drainage pipes from Blake hall and the University hospital were discovered to run directly through the center of the room. The workers had had to be removed and relaid before work could continue.
Following this initial delay, however, work has proceeded as smoothly as possible, contractors say. However, they refuse to offer any prediction as to "how long it will take to finish up."
Plans for the new building donated by Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins University benefactor, provide for a ground floor approximately 36 feet by 77 feet. Several porches will increase this floor space, however.
Catherine Holmes, c'38, has been appointed to one of the 30 positions of the College Summer Service session of the Student Christian Movement for work this summer in New York City.

PROOF CROPGE CL METCALE
'Little Things' Bring New Worries to Kansa
New Worries to Kansans
"They're little things, aren't they?" "Yeah, I don't see why they had to make them so darned little, you'll probably lose most of them."
Ikred by the appearance of the new tax tokens in the state today, many such statements were heard on every hand.
It means, too, that Kansas has solved the two-pocket problem. Kansans now can use one pocket for their loose change and the other for their mills or sales tokens. Every time a purchase is made now there will be some real figuring to do. The stores were jammed Monday as people were laying in supplies to avoid having to pay the tax when waited while Small贝儿 nickel for an ice cream cone", he would have to ask for a token in addition now, and it is expected that the ice cream business will suffer a big drop.
To alleviate the pressure during the breakfast rush, one restaurant had to hire a cashier to augment the regular force, and to do nothing but calculate the sales tax and make the necessary change in mille and pennies.
Plans Made,
Hoping for CSEP
N Y A Appropriation
For Next Year Is Not
Yet Assured, However
"There has been no positive assurance of a NYA approval for next year, but the CSEP office will prepare projects on the assumption that there will be such a grant," announced Mary C. Olsen this morning
The CSEP jobs will embrace社会 desirable non-nourishment work not provided for in the University budget. The jobs are given to students with the best qualifications, and if feasible, in their major department. In a broad sense the work falls into the following groups: research,clerical, medical, library, technical,vey, health, education, education, and landscape.
There will be no let-up in the work at the CSEP office this summer. Employees will be busy checking over two thousand applications and Miss Olsen will interview many student personally.
Problem projects will be due from the heads of departments, divisions, and non-profit organizations of the city of Lawrence by the middle of August. It is expected that many new projects will be submitted this year. All students who wish to apply for work through the CSEP office next year are requested to leave their names and addresses at the office before they leave Lawrence. The applications blanks will be sent out sometime this month or the first of next month.

Henry Werner, men's student adviser, and member of the Union operating committee, praised highly the ability displayed by Cochrane in the three years that he has been manager of the Union building.

Bookstore Is Not Legal Say Regents
Efforts of W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. for W.S.F. as Third Attempt To Establish Plan Meets Opposition
In their third attempt this year to make possible a co-operative bookstore for the mutual benefit of students in the University, the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Governing Association met with unofficial opposition from the Board of Regents in a meeting from the two organizations with the board last Friday in Topeka.
The plan, which proposed an expansion of the present W.S.G.A. bookstore in the Memorial Union building into a co-operative store with a rebate system of operation, was rejected on the gurds that such a scheme would create an unfavorable impression throughout the state and in other ways produce unfavorable results.
Committee Gives Views
Regents present at the meeting were C. M. Harger, chairman, Abilene; Dr. H. L. Snyder, Wichita; Fred Harris, Ottawa; Drae McLaughlin, Paola; and Sam Edwards, Blue Rapids, Donald Voorhees, $^{c8}$, president of the M.S.C.; Doris Stockwell, $^{c9}$, president of the W.S.G.A.; Phil Ruap, $^{c38}$; Velma Wilson, $^{c40}$; and Russell Williams, $^{c37}$ comprised the committee which presented the plan.
Emphasizing its wish to expand the present store for use by the entire student body with intent to carry on true buying and selling of books in place of the exchange idea embodied by the statement that miitee presented its answers to the queries of the regents in regard to the proposal.
Zoning Law Hampers
In answer to the question raised concerning anticipation of the amount of economic profit involved, the committee explained that only a small sum was expected, until the plan of co-operation had become well established and developed to a reasonable extent.
In order that the plan would not be misconduced as one which would make the University a book dealer, the regents asked of the possibilities of establishing the book departments. The committee, which had investigated such an alternative, explained the zoning regulation, which prohibits additional companies from becoming established in the immediate vicinity of the school. Under this regulation could take over a business site only in the event of vacation by a former occupant.
Various Plans Offered
The regents were practically unanimous in opposition to the plan, which evolved recently from a committee of the W.S.G.A. comprised of Jean Russell, c37; chairman; Velma Wilson, c40; 'Einstellau, b'uncl; Joyce Vetter, fa 39; and Evelyn Baker, c38.
Points considered in the proposition included, (1) retention of the present stock of used books, to be sold through (2) a co-operative system by which rebates would be given in proportion to the amount invested in the store in the form of purchases by each student. This system would involve (3) addition of classroom supplies and new textbooks, the latter to change as alterations in texis were made in the various departments and (4) operation on a fiscal year basis by which each fiscal year would be allocated each fiscal year, which would be allowed to fall near the end of each school year.
Hope for New Viewpoint
A conference by Miss Stockwell with Chancellor E. H. Lindley, following approval of the plan by the W.S.G.A. Executive Council and securing of whole-hearted endorsement by the M.S.C., ended in referring the matter to the Board of Regents. Subsequent appearance of Regents Harris, McLaughlin and Edwards in Lawrence on Tuesday, May 23, brought a consideration of the act and a proposal that it be brought before the regents in Topeka on the following Friday.
Although complete abandonment of the measure is not contemplated by the W.S.G.A. and M.S.C. in view of possible revision of the regents' it is generally conceded that the decision given last week is final.
