New KU Dormitory A 10-Story Giant the giant of residence hails of Kansas college campuses. In fact, few if any of the state's large hotels and apartment buildings equal it in size. Is McCollum Hall, a new residence hall at the Univer. sity of Kansas which will be home for at least 976 men be. ginning this September.

McCollum, with 488 rooms, is the largest residence hall in the state, and one of the biggest in the Midwest. The lO-storystruc. ture has 222,220 square feet of floor space, or about 225 square feet per student, and cost $3,. 480,000. Of this total cost, $800,.

000 came from the state dorm, itory fund tax and $2,680,000 was financed through purchased revenue bonds. Equipped with heating and air. donditioning, the T-shaped structure just south of Ellsworth Hall, is the fifth and last to be built in the dormitory complex west of Allen Field House along Iowa Street. It increases accommodations in this group of halls by 50 per cent to about 2,950. Truckloads of furniture are now being moved into McCollum so the hall will be ready when the first students arrive Sept.

13. Here's what the. new occupants will find: The first floor houses din. ing and kitchen facilities for more than 1,000 people, coin, operated washers and driers, and storage rooms. Features of the second or main floor are 8,640 square feet of lounge and lobby space, a library and reading area, music and conference rooms, and the main desk and offices.

The versity's dormitory housing of. fices also have been moved to this floor from former quar. ters in Strong Hall. Two.man and a few three, man rooms plus lounge areas for study and recreation are on floors three through ten. Floors two and eight have snack bars, and floors two, four, six, eight, and ten have apart, ments for hall supervisors.

Joseph J. Wilson, director of housing, says about 30 students will serve in counseling and supervisory capacities through, out the hall. Through McCollum is a residence for men, its completion opens up housing for women, too. The University's housing facilities have been juggled to look like this: Lewis Hall, an upperclass women's residence last year, will house 432 freshmen women during 1965-66. Ellsworth, a men's hall last year, will house 670 upperclass women this year.

Grace Pearson, home of 48 men a year ago, will become a men's scholarship hall. And CarruthO'. Leary, the home of200frechmen women last year, has been con. verted into classrooms and faculty offices. So, completion of McCollum actually adds housing for 238 more upperclass women, 258 more men, and 232 more fresh, men women.

The University of Kansas now has state-owned dormitories for about 4,200 students. Scholarship halls house an additional 450 men and women. "This is about 35 per cent of our total enrollment," Wll. son says, "and our future planning of a new facilities is aimed at keeping us at about that lev el." Already past the planning stage and in construction in a 630. student hall south of Allen Field House, due to be completed a year from now.

It's the first hall in that area, but at least two more will be built later. McCollum Hall is named for two of the University's distin-, guished graduates, Elmer V. Mo, Collum, discoverer of vitamins A and and the late Burton McCollum, who developed many of the processes for finding underground oil with sound waves. Both were 1903 gradu. ates.

The hall will be dedicated in their honor Oct. 17. US Economy To Continue To Rise During The Year Economic activity in the United States is expected to expand during the next year and a half. Gains expected in output, employ, ment, consumer income, and population growth will support an expanding domestic market for farm products. There is also a prospect for another year of large exports, particularly of farm produced foods and feed grains.

Increases in production during the second half of 1965 are not expected to be as large as the $24 billion increase in the Gross National Product (GNP) of the first six months. Economic growth will continue, but at a slower pace than the very high first quarter of 1965 rate. Business investment outlays are scheduled to rise, and an excise tax cut will moderate price rises and help to increase business earnings, in addition, government spending is expected to increase for defense, for salary increases of military and civilian personnel, for old age benefits, and for a number of other programs education, poverty, health, Appalachla. Some analysts look for a cut. back in economic activity in 1966.

There are many sound reasons for caution. However, a weighing of probable economic forces, the impact of excise tax adjust. ments, changes in Social Security receipts and payments, and the precedent for stronger counter-cyclical action (should the need arise) adds up in favor of a continued expansion in economic activity in 1966. The level of economic activity this year and a projection of the expected level fox ,1966 suggests that the GNP may reach a level of $675 billion by the end of this year. A continuation of pre.

sent trends would carry the G. N.P. to a level of $700 billion in 1966. Some of the major sources of demand can be summarized as follows: Investments: Plant and equip, ment outlays are scheduled to rise through 1965. Surveys of business investment plans for 1966 and the persistent drive to launch new products, modern, ize plants and Introduce labor, saving methods point to larger outlays for new plants and equip, ment in 1966.

Residential construction: Littie change in the rate of residential building activity is in pros, pect for 1965. Housing starts have declined for about 2 years. Some areas overbuilt and vacancy rates are relatively high. However, some pickup in housing activity is in prospect for 1966. Government tures; Government spending is scheduled to rise dome $6 to $7 billion from 1965 to 1966.

Federal expenditures, steady in 1964 and so far in 1965, are expected to increase by llVfe to $2 billion. Larger defense outlays and military and civilian pay increases will account for much of the rise. In addition, substantial increases in govern, ment transfer- payments in old age benefits, medicare, and pay. ments to states for education, poverty projects and the like may step up government expenditures by $3 billion. Consumer Income and Spending: Rising employment and wages will be supplemented by increases in old age payments, Medicare, pay and allowances to military and civilian employees, and the impact of cuts in ex.

cise taxes. Accordingly, a con. tinued income and purchases of goods and services is expected in the coming year. Relatively stable wages and prices in the U. S.

during the coming year likely will result in a continued surplus in exports of goods and services. Realized net farm income in 1965 is expected to total 2 billion. This is more than a half a billion above last year, about $1.8 billion above 1960, and higher than any year since 1953. Realized net farm income per farm is estimated to be $4,000 for 1965.

Two white men were injured and two Negroes were arrested.

The violence came Tuesday night after civil rights leaders postponed a scheduled demon, stration because tensions were running high. The shooting occurred after seven Negroes encountered a white group on Main Street. The Negroes were headed toward the center of town when the whites moved in behind them. Police said one of the Negroes pulled a pistol from under his pants leg and began firing at the white men. The group of Negroes turned and fled down the street into a group of whites that had gath.

ered in the middle of town. Sev. eral white men grabbed the Ne. gro with the pistol and began beating him. State troopers and police quickly moved in and seized the Negro, who later managed to escape.

Police arrested two oth. er Negroes. George Williams, 45, of Greenville, N.C., was shot in the stomach and Clarence McCoy Adams, 27, of Pink Hill, N.C., was hospitalized with a knife wound. Both were reported in good condition. More than 300 persons had gathered in the center of town and remained there after Mayor W.

R. Flowers announced the demonstration postponement. The mob kicked at least two cars containing Negroes and pelted one car with beer cans. Moments later the seven Ne. groes began moving, up the street.

Elsewhere on the racial scene, school desegregation con. tinued quietly in the South. In Alabama's rural Lowndes Coun. ty, where two white civil rights workers have been shot to death this year, four Negroes calmly went to classes with white pu. pils at Hayneville High School.

historic eight-day space flight i for technical and medical ex. perts. Hour after hour, L. Gordon Cooper Jr. and Charles Conrad talk into tape recorders.

The recordings and other notes are rushed daily to the Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston, Tex. There, specialists combine the information with telemetry data radioed during the flight. The specialists are preparing for more detailed talks about the performance of various spacecraft systems. These will start Thursday when Cooper and Conrad return to Houston for brief reunions with their fa. milies and then seven more days of seclusion.

In Washington, the White House announced that "each military astronaut will receive a promotion of one grade as a di. rect result of his first successful space flight." This means that Conrad, a Navy lieutenant com. mander, will be promoted to commander. Cooper was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the Air Force after his earlier Mercury flight. Of special interest is the equipment which caused trouble during the flight, which ended Sunday.

Included are the fuel cell pressurization and water stowage systems, jet control thrusters, and an apparent ground error which misinformed the computer, causing Gemini 5 to land 103 miles short of its target. Dr. Charles A. Berry, Gemini flight surgeon, said two days of exhaustive medical tests showed Cooper and Conrad were in excellent condition. The flight proved that man, physically, is ready to travel to the moon, he said Tuesday.

"At the moment," Dr. Berry said, "I can say that Cooper and Conrad appear to be certainly no worse off than the Gemini 4 crew, and in many respects they look somewhat better. "They look less tired, as if the flight took less toll of them physically than the Gemini 4 mission." OTTAWA HERALD BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL GUIDE OPTOMETRISTS Arvid Berglund, O.D.

THE ANTHONY CLINICAL LABORATORY Gladys Anthony Allergies Bacteriology, Serology Hematology, Bio.Chemistry, Parasitology Room 15, Professional Bldg. Ph. CH 2.5296 EDITOR'S NOTE The Unit, ed States has sent a major tary force to South Viet Nam, and has Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force units partici. pating actively in the fighting. U.S.

servicemen are being killed and wounded, but there has been no declaration of war. Why? Some of the pros and cons of such action, and some results of a formal declaration, are dis. cussed in this analysis. An AP News Analysis By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON (AP) A for. mal declaration of war by the United States In the current Viet Nam conflict would raise so many difficulties that appar.

ently has been ruled out by U.S. policymakers. This does not reflect any Washington disbelief In the Ity of the bullets puncturing the peace of Southeast Asia. Presi. dent Johnson has used the word and has pledged an limited American commitment to prevent the Reds from taking over South Viet Nam.

However a formal was dec. laration power given Congress under the Constitution would pose major compllca. tlons for U. S. strategy, which is tailored to a limited objective and to keeping the contest con.

fined. Avowedly, the U. S. aim is to help the Saigon government repel an aggression from the north. It is not to overthrow the Hanoi regime ruling North Viet Nam, or to get into war with Red China or the Soviet Union.

Furthermore, the Communist attacks in South Viet Nam vary from organized military as. saults to Isolated terrorist crimes. If Congress were to declare war, a first question naturally would be: Against whom would war be declared? The Viet Cong? The United States does not recognize the claims of these Communist guerrillas to being a govern, ment, and much of what they do like murder and arson can be classed as acts subject to criminal prosecution. The government of North Viet Nam? The United States says it does not want to destroy this government, which would be a natural objective if war were declared against It. Red China or the Soviet Un.

ion? Washington wants to press its effort in Viet Nam without getting into a fight with the big Communist powers, which a declaration of war against them would involve. In the big stratenlc picture a formal U.S. declaration of war would, in the cpln'on yt iulmin. istration authorities, 'end to broaden Hie cyn.ni;-*. hen it is in the best U.S.

IHrrest to pros, ecute it in a narrower arena. If war were declared against North Viet Nam, for instance, neighboring Communist China might decide to get into the fight. So far it has steered clear of direct involvement while U. S. bombers pinpoint targets south of its border.

For the United States an offi. cial declaration of war would set off a round of diplomatic consultations with its allies around the world, even though mutual aid pacts might not be Invoked. At home officials believe a declaration of war would have a tremendous psychological im. pact gearing the nation for an all.out effort for a Southeast Asian program which today ac. counts for only a small fraction of the federal budget.

Government, lawyers figure that littj.il)'. hundreds of laws are on the books which would be affected by a of war, including claust such items as shippi aid oth. er economic activitie nd that further legislation -ould be passed in a war situation.
