Two New Buildings
To Be Constructed
On Baylor Campus
WACO.—Two new buildings, to
cost $200,000 eacli, were announced
this past week for the Baylor Uni
versity campus.
A dormitory for women was an
nounced by Baylor’s President Pat
M. Neff. It will be four stories
high and house 168 girls. It will
be the third girls’ dormitory on the
campus and fills a definite need
in that some 125 girls were refus
ed admission last fall because of
lack of space. Nucleus of the
$200,000 for its construction is the
gift of friends of the university.
Ex-students are giving a Stu
dent Union building to the univer
sity, Dr. K. H. Aynesworth, presi
dent of the Baylor Centennial foun
dation, has announced. This
foundation was formed several
years ago by the Baylor Ex-Stu
dents Association and has carried
its campaign for funds through
out Texas. It will be the second
student union building in the
state.
Construction has just been com
pleted on $250,000 at Neff hall, a
building to be used for adminis
trative, classroom and museum
purposes.
FORMATIONS SUSPENDED

supper, February 6, 1940, until break

Embarrassing moment: Greater
Boston’s untold thousands of de
bating fans were foiled a few days
ago when they sat down to listen to
a Harvard-M. I. T. word-battle
broadcast. Reason: Both teams
had prepared negative arguments,
and no one was ready to uphold
the affirmative side. Result:
Strauss waltzes were heard instead
of the debate.
-At-last-the-truth-is-out item: So
that its football field would be just
the right color to impress the crowd
that attended the Missouri-Kansas
football duel a couple of months
ago, the Univer sity of Kansas dyed
its field “auragreen,” using 300
gallons of coloring to make the
playing field a thing of beauty—
at least until the dye washed out.
