Contract Is Let For
$225,000 Dormitory
At Mercer University
Macon, May 21—Construction of
the new men’s dormitory at Mer
cer University will be started at
once, the contract having been let
yesterday to the A. R. Higos Con
struction Company, Briggs’ low
hid was $^zo,ouo, Dr. aprignt
Dowell, president of Mercer an
nounced yesterday. The construc
tion schedule calls for complex**
erf the building Dec. 20, wnen it
will be occupied by veterans en
rolled at the university.
Elliot Dunwody is architect, and
his plans were submitted to con
tractors some weeks ago.
The building is to be erected on
the Mercer Campus facing t,age-
wood at the corner of Adams
street.
Plans call for a 3-story building
with basement and attic. It will be
reinforced concrete with brick fac
ing and limestone trim, built on
collegiate gothic style.
The building will contain 72
rooms for use by students.
Mercer’s enrollment has in
creased greatly within the last
year and its facilities have been
strained to meet the demand. Un
der an arrangement with the
housing authority, apartments in
the Felton Homes development
have been made available to mar
ried veterans as they became va
cant.
Other veterans have been
housed at Warner Robins, where a
surplus of living quarters exists.
The university will continue to
use these facilities in addition to
the quarters in the new dormi
tory.

Amall asks Cook Ruling
On Action Against Klan
Atlanta, May 20—Dr. Samuel
Green the Ku Klux Klan’s “grand
dragon” today challenged any fed
eral or state statute which might
be used to dismember his white-
hooded organization whose dem
onstrations involve the burning of
fiery crosses.
Gov. Ellis Amall, in whose state
the Klan was revived with cross
burning ceremonies atop Stone
Mountain, revealed today that he
had asked State Attorney General
Eugene Cook for a ruling on what
"can be done legally” with the
klan in Georgia.
In Washington, U. S. Attorney
General Tom Clark was reported to
be studying plans to curb the klan
in any state where it seeks citi
zens.
Dr. Green, head of the "mothei
klan of the nation” in Atlanta
said his organization is a “legally
constituted body in Georgia.”
They can’t take our charter
away from us legally,” he said.
Governor Arnall said that the
klan’s Stone Mountain demonstra
tion had "brought the name of
Georgia into ridicule.”.
