LOOK TO SOLONS FOR DORMITORY SOLUTION
Women Will Ask Legislature to Relieve Housing Situation
TO BE NO FORMAL LOBBY
Bill Has Approval of Governo Allen and Kansas Federation
A general feeling of confidence exists among the women of the state, who are interested in halls of residence for women at the state schools of Kansas, that a solution to the immediate housing problem will be forthcoming from the present legislature, according to Dr. Alberta Corbin, president of the Kansas Council of Women.
A bill which will be presented to the legislature has the hearty approval of Gov. Henry J. Allen, who will also include a special recommendation by the governor to the legislature. The necessary works of pushing the bill will be done by
Women who are resident in Topoka and by auxiliary committee of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae and the Woman's Club of Topoka. There is to be no formal lobbying, according to Dorian Corbin, but it is the purpose of the women to bring to the legislators full information as to what is happening and how other states have solved a similar problem. The special interest just now is to formulate a plan which Kansas can afford.
A committee of the women, including Doctor Corbin and Miss Elizabeth Syrangle, head of the department of home economics at the University, will confer with Governor Allen, Tuesday. Miss Syrangle who at the
Bullets Drive Burglar From Kappa Sig Porch
request of Doctor Corbin made an extensive tour for the inspection of dormitories in schools of other states, has just returned and will make a report to the governor at this meeting. Information of especial value to Kansas is brought by the governor from Illinois, Ames Agricultural College of Iowa, State University of Iowa, Grinnell, and Drake University.
A burglar, who was attempting to steal a quarter of beef from the real porch of the Kappa Sigma house at ten o'clock Sunday night, was driven away with bullets whistling past his ears. When the men discovered the stolen meat, they pulled back into the house and got two revolvers, and when they returned they found him starting with the beef on his shoulder. As the lights in the kitchen were switched on, the burglar dashed through the door and ran down the street, where he thought it is thought that at least one took effect, for the frightened burglary stumbled and fell as he crossed Tennessee Street.
