Sheriff Warns Against Fraud
Approximately 100 persons will attend the dinner. Every student who has worked on the Daily Kansan will be a guest.
A warning by Sheriff T. E. Glass has been issued to residents of Douglas county to be on guard against phone salesmen.
The recent loss of $100 by a resident in the southern part of the county is the only real loss reported thus far. But its the same thing every spring, Sheriff Glass said.
"The weather becomes good and these door-to-door merchants begin to operate. Some of them are honest, but, unfortunately, some are not," the sheriff warned.
During the week of April 21-26, a carload of magazine salesmen were working in Douglas county using a sympathy line. They claimed to be selling magazines because they were just back from military service in Korea and were not eligible for GI benefits.
One resident there gave the men a $3 order and paid with a check. The check was returned last week from the bank. It had been changed to read $103 by the salesman.
Sheriff Glass said there has been no further leads from the salesman.
He advised any persons receiving calls from suspicious salesmen to notify his office at once.
Math Club to Hold Picnic
The Mathematics club will have a picnic 5 p.m. Monday, May 12 at Potter lake.

After a brief stay in California, Mr. La Coss returned to the Mid-west and joined the staff of the Kansas City Star. He worked briefly for the Parsons Sun before joining the Associated Press.
Since the early 1920's he has been in St. Louis, first as a reporter and feature writer, later as vice president of the Globe-Democrat.
Mr. La Coss's prize-winning editorial began as a comment on the discharge of 90 West Point cadets for cheating on examinations. But it
