LOUIS P. LOCHNER Law School Granted Fund For Building A new University Law School building was assured last Saturday when Gov. J.

Smith said early this month that aft er the legislature adjourned more definite announcements for construction would be mande. Nu announcement has been made yet as to whether the new building would be on the main campus or in some other location. 0o111 ReservaItion Fees F- Su11111er Clain e Paid Now ioom i eervation fees for the su1111erl schlool an1d summer term are nOW being accepted, Mrs. Arney it.
