REMEMBER THE PEACE PACT—K-State pranksters gave Jimmy Green a sloppy paint job last night, before campus policemen finally caught up with 39 of them letting air out of tires.
Caught: 39 K-Staters Who Didn't Get Away
They did it—all 39 of them—and they got caught $ ^{+} $
Thirty-nine K-state students climbed up the Hill last thought they could get away with;
"KS" painted in large lavender letters in front of Strong hall, the campanile, and the Student Union.
Letting air out of automobile tires.
A liberal painting of Jimmy Green.
Letting air out of automobile tires. But they didn't get away with it. Campus police picked them up for vandalism and damage to University property. Part of the group was nabbed by Lawrence police when they were caught doing their tire trick in a residential area.
Even then, they gave excuses: One carload of seven men told the police that they were looking for their fraternity brothers to keep them out of trouble.
All 39 were released to the custody of the K-State dean of students, and 39 identification cards were turned over to Lawrence C. Woodruff, dean of students here. He will confer with the K-State dean in Manhattan today.
Which all leads to the peculiar peace pact problem. According to its terms, restitution must be made. The pact provides that the maximum penalty for a student shall be recommendation by the ASC that the student be suspended from school for one semester.

Hemingway Gets Nobel Prize
Stockholm, Sweden.—(U.P.)—Ernest Hemingway, who brought clipped clarity to a generation of American letters with savage tales of bulls, bitterness and bravery, today won the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature with his gentle story of a noble old man and a fish.
The 18 judges of the Swedish academy today announced that Heningway had become the fifth American winner in the half-century since the Nobel Prize was created.
But probably none of the earlier winners influenced modern American literature with the power of Hemingway. He is the author of such widely-acclaimed works as "The Sun Also Rises," "A Farewell to Arms," and "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
His short, quiet tale entitled "The Old Man and the Sea," convinced the Swedish Academy of Literature that Hemingway, 56, merited the coveted award because of the "idealistic tendencies" of his new work, for years it had by-passed his powerful stories.
Americans who won the prize before him were Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O'Neill, Pearl Buck and William Faulkner.
The Nobel award means that the hard-living American will be invited to travel from his ranch in Guba to Stockholm on Dec. 10 to receive the $35,066 award from Sweden's King Gustaf Adolf.

Ike Will Speak Tonight, Tour Four States Tomorrow
--four states where GOP senatorial candidates have been reported in particularly tight races.
The Chief Executive is expected to make an appeal for the so-called independent vote in tonight's speech at 8:30 p.m. (CST) to be carried by NBC, ABC, and NBC-TV.
Washington — (U.P.)— President Eisenhower will make a major speech tonight and a flying tour into four crucial states tomorrow to bolster the GOP's final drive for victory in Tuesday's crucial mid-term election.
His speech will be before the Citizens for Eisenhower Congressional committee—a group bidding for all those who voted for Mr. Eisenhower in 1852, regardless of party affiliation, to help elect a Republican Congress next week.
Details still were being mapped out today for the President's whirlwind trip into Cleveland, Detroit, Louisville and Wilmington, Del.-
Mr. Eisenhower said he was making the tour only to dramatize his interest in getting out a big vote in next Tuesday's election. The tour was set up by the Republican National committee.
Beside tonight's speech and to-morrow's tour, the President has only one more major campaign effort scheduled—the traditional election eve "Get out and vote" appeal next Monday night.
As an alternative, the Republican candidates in neighboring states were invited to meet the President at the various stops if it is convenient to their own campaign schedules.
White House sources indicated the four-state tour would have been bigger had there been more time in the President's busy schedule.
The affair here will mark the first formal appearance Mr. Docking has made in Lawrence since he announced his candidacy for the nomination.
The rally will begin with a picnic in Clinton park at 5 p.m. sponsored by the KU and Douglas County Young Democrats. In the event of bad weather the picnic will be held at Democratic headquarters at 6th and Massachusetts,
Following the picnic the KU and Douglas County Young Democrats will stage a torchlight parade from Democratic headquarters south on Massachusetts to the Community building in which Mr. Docking and his wife, Virginia, will ride with state and local Democratic candidates.
The program at the Community building will begin at 8 p.m. with musical entertainment, Frank McDonald chairman of the Douglas County Democratic central committee said.
Highlight of the program will come at 9 p.m. when the rally will be broadcast over a statewide radio network.
Mr. McDonald will preside at the meeting and will introduce those who are to take part in the broadcast. It will be heard in this area over station WREN. The broadcast will end the meeting.
Mr. Docking is president of the First National Bank here.
