Fees in the scholarship halls will be raised $47 beginning next September.
The special maintenance fee has been increased from $20 to $40 while the monthly house bills have been raised from $40 to $43.

that the fees in Carruth-O'Leary and Gertrude Sellards Pearson Halls would be raised five dollars a month as of September.
This makes an increase of $45 in regular dormitory fees each academic year or two dollars less than the scholarship hall fee increase.
Earlier this year it was announced
With the rise in fees the scholarship hall total house bills is approximately $280 less than regular dormitories and about $400 less than fees in fraternity and sorority houses.
Caution Prevents Accidents
Each vacation usually ends with reports of two or three major traffic accidents which ruin the student's vacation. Joe Skillman, chief of the
KU 'Oscars'
To Be Awarded
Awards for the best actor or actress and best supporting actor or actress, along with merit awards, will be presented at the University Theatre-University Players banquet and open house on May 15.
Winners of these awards will be selected by staff members of the department of speech and drama. Any student who has acted in or worked for a University Theatre production is eligible.
John Branigan, Kansas City, Mo. senior, president of the Players, urges all players to visit their hometown high schools during vacation. Theatre brochures and leaflets may be obtained in 202 Fraser.
"We have never had a traffic fatality on the campus, and I believe it is due to reduced speed and strict enforcement of traffic regulations. If students observe the same caution on the way home as they do on the campus, they shouldn't have much trouble," he said.
"The accidents are usually caused by disobedience of traffic regulations by someone," Chief Skillman said. Carelessness and speed are the major causes of accidents."
Campus Police, said today that these accidents can usually be avoided by caution on the part of the driver.
Students planning to travel in the western half of the state are advised to call the Douglas County sheriff's office before leaving.
At 9:30 a.m. today traffic was not open west of a north-south line running through Hill City and Dodge City. Several of the main routes east of this line are open only to 1-way traffic for 50 to 75 miles.
Today's paper will be the last issue of the University Daily Kansan published before spring vacation. The next issue will be published on Monday, April 8.

Added Pay Raises Up For Final Vote
University faculty members were one step closer to an additional 5 per cent raise in salary Wednesday as the Senate approved for passage a $670,000 appropriation for five state colleges.
The bill was passed by voice vote, with virtually no questions asked. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill by roll call ballot today.
If the bill passes the roll call vote, it will go on to the House Ways and Means Committee, then to the House for a final vote before going to Gov. Docking for his signature.
The University's share of the appropriation will be $240,000. This appropriation, if granted, will be added to the increase already set forth in Gov. Docking's budget to make a total raise in salary of 10 per cent for faculty members.
Land Purchase Tentatively OKd The House, by voice vote, gave tentative approval of a bill authorizing the Board of Regents to buy a tract of land in Kansas City, Kan., or possible future expansion of the Medical Center.
The land will cost about $270,000 and is being sold by the city of Kansas City, Kan. The land is across the street from the Medical Center and was formerly a public school and playground.
These are the last of the bills affecting the University in this session of the Legislature. Bills previously passed include one empowering the Board of Regents to employ and commission campus
police. On the KU campus this power is already held by the city of Lawrence and Douglas County, but the bill will give the board equal rights.
The University will also have the power to charge for parking at athletic contests, with the fees possibly being used to build parking lots.
Another bill permits the University to remove or tear down the Locksley Hall buildings on 11th and Mississippi Streets and the eight Sunnyside apartments on the site for the new business and economics building.
Another bill gives the Board of Regents the power to charge fees for parking on campus and to use the money for enforcement costs and for repair and maintenance of parking lots and buildings.
Parking Fee Bill
Another bill would enable the University to sell a tract of land on the south side of Delta Tau Delta fraternity to the fraternity for future expansion.
Thees four bills are waiting Gov. Docking's signature.
