Bid by Republican May Be Accepted by Men's Council
supplement Printing Price Lower Than That of Previous Contract
ACTION IS POSTPONED
The Douglas County Republican submission a bid to the Men's Student Council for the printing of the directory was received less than that of the World company and therefore was generally favored by the men's night's meeting. The time required and other phases of the printing were considered as matters of secondary im-
The World company released the Council from its original contract, by which it had been bound, and submitted a bid for the supplement of $140, the same amount as the original bid applauded. But in order to supplement a bid of $2.25 per page for a supplement of 1,500 copies. For a book of 25 pages this would amount to $625.
Cannot Submit Bid
J. K. J. Lister, superintendent of the Journalism press, said this morning that the press would be unable to submit a statement on the case without it if desired. Action of the Board of Regents makes it impossible for the Journalism press to handle any printing, distribution or sales of materials with the University. It can not handle any printing for University organizations for which prices are asked in competition with private printing companies.
Russell Strobel, F12, reported that the committee which was to see Chancellor E. H. Lindley about funds, was unable to talk with Dr. Lindley, but he insisted that the administration would contribute something to the directory fund, but did not know what amount could be obtained. It was indicated last fall that the administratior because of the reduced budget.
A resolution was passed that, if necessary, the men's Student Council would guarantee to pay for the supplement. However, the members did not favor the Council's paying for the supply and other arrangement could be made.
Slocum Given Commission
It was decided that Kerneth Slocum, c33, manager of the directory, be allowed his commission of 15 per cent on the sale of his property. Kerneth Slocum had told the Council that he would refuse to go ahead with the supplement unless he received the complement.
No agreement was reached as to how the regular directory should be paid for and what basis should be used. Since action by the W.S.G.A. is required anywhere, it is decided to leave proclaim until later and to take action on the supplement.
The committee investigating printing prices, with a view to having revised pricing procedures for the created Men of the University of Kansas printed, made its report. Prices on 30 copies were obtained from four firms: Dell Computer, The Douglas County Republican, $75; and the Empire Printing company's Kansas Company. Action was deferred future meeting.
A price from the Journalism Press was quoted, but owing to the conditions stated previously by J. J. Kierler counterpart, the contract this price cannot be considered.

"There are two clear cases of ineligibility among council members," Professor H. C. Thurnau of the German department, chairman of the University eligibility committee announced today. A further check, some will credential credit may come in that will remove the ineligibility of one of these members."
Stating that such had been the case in the past when certain cases of ineligibility had come before him, he withheld the names pending a conference with Russel Strobel, T24 president of the Conference Council, and to await further check.
"It is not always possible to act arbitrarily in such cases," he said, "and it is wipe to proceed somewhat slowly until we are certain of the facts."
