Student Court Has 14 Actions
Fourteen actions were taken by Student Court Tuesday night.
In a close 4 to 2 decision, the Court freed Carolyn Husted, college freshman, from charges of parking in the wrong zone. Although the case was tried in Carolyn's name, actually her sister Barbara, a non-student, had been driving the car when the ticket was given. The judges felt that "because of the involvement of a non-student, and certain other mitigating circumstances," the defendant should not be given any penalty.
Bob Rupp, engineering freshman, was found guilty of wrong parking and leaving his car overnight. Roth Catewood, college freshman, was declared not guilty of a charge of no permit.
The Court found William H. Pringle, second year law, not guilty of over-parking, and ruled the same for Irwin D. Brown, second year law.
Default was declared in the cases of Don Pringle, college junior; Ken Hoffman, college senior; Haroldeen Murray, fine arts sophomore, and Melvine B. Evans, graduate student.
A case involving Mrs. Virginia Cook, 842 Illinois street, was referred to the parking committee. Richard Burnett, college freshman, was cleared of charges of parking in the wrong zone.
Continuances were rendered in the cases of K. Davis, J. M. Stull, Y. Mo, and M. Stul. The appeal of Andrew V. Davis, education senior, was withdrawn.

Survey Seeks Trappers' Names
The State Biological Survey at the University is anxious to obtain the names of the leading trappers in Kansas.
A fur project, which was initiated at the University last year, is investigating every phase of trapping in the state.
The biologists leading the project are interested in establishing contacts with the hunters and trappers who have been most successful in capturing fur animals.
They believe these trappers can do much to aid in the understanding of the animals and in producing a maximum crop of fur each year.
Ten per cent of the trappers were contacted at the beginning of the trapping season and from the returns thus far received, the highest number of animals reported caught by a single trapper has been: muskrat, 101; raccoon, 126; opossum, 73; striped skunk, 70; coyote, 54; mink, 27; beaver, 8; badger, 2; spotted skunk, 16. and weasel, 1.
Howard Stains, graduate student,
is interested in contacting any person
who has made a better catch of
any of these animals or who has
caused animals not listed, or who
knows of someone who did.

The sales institute was described by Dean Stockton as one of the most popular off-campus adult education programs. It is usually presented in intensive early morning-evening sessions in two days. This makes for a minimum interruption of duties of the sales personnel of the retail stores of a community.
Three programs are now offered. The first school for a community is Salesmanship for Employers and
Indicative of the solid reception of the institutes by the cities holding them is that by May 20 Kansas cities will have completed three or more Retail Sales institutes. Those who will have had two institutes will number 38. Thirty-one others will have had one school.
Employees." The second program is "Techniques of Selling" and the third-year course is "Salesmanship Today."

Two courses of instruction are offered. One is for graduates with higher training in electronics, economics, architecture and the various engineering fields. This includes two months of basic training, and two more months at a specialist school.

The majority of officer candidates train four months for their commissions in basic sea-going skills: navigation, seamanship, gunnery, communications, marine engineering and damage control.
The average attendance this year at the institutes will be about 130.
Fred Sharpe is the extension lecturer who gives most of the instruction.
College students may apply for the Officer Candidate school anytime within six months prior to graduation. Applications may be made to any Navy recruiting station or office of Naval Officer Procurement.

Washington—(U.P.)—Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R.-Calif), proposed today that House rules be amended to permit radio, television, and newsreel coverage of House committee hearings.
Hillings' amendment would cancel a radio-TV-renewsel ban imposed by Speaker Sam Rayburn.
“To prevent any abuse” that might arise, Hillings proposed that the committees themselves be authorized to decide by majority vote whether to let their sessions be broadcast, televised, or filmed.
Rep. Jacob K. Javits (R.-N.Y.) predicted that House Republicans will make a united party fight to overturn Rayburn's ruling.
He said they may be able to pick enough Democratic support to force the issue to a showdown vote on the House floor.
The executive committee of the radio correspondents' galleries at the capitol wrote Rayburn that his ruling was "discrimination against two of the major media for news dissemination"—radio and television. The group asked for a chance to discuss the question with the Speaker "in the quiet of your office."

Lawmakers Demand Government Action
Washington—(U.P.)-Texas lawmakers demanded today that the State department negotiate immediately an "improved" agreement with Mexico to provide the Southwest with laborers needed for seasonal farm work.
The house Tuesday passed and returned to the Senate legislation aimed at stemming the illegal flow of Mexican "wetbacks" across the border in search of jobs in this country.
The measure would impose stiff penalties for concealing or harboring illegal aliens and would allow Immigration Service patrols to search without warrants within 25 miles of the border.

Living Costs To Rise Price Experts Warn
Washington — (U.P.)—Government price experts warned today that the cost of living will start going up again after leveling off for the first time since last summer.
A high official predicted flatly that prices will be higher a year from now, as the result of heavier government defense spending and other inflationary pressures.
At the same time, the bureau of labor statistics said that "seasonal" factors were largely responsible for the fact that Jan. 15 showed no rise from the previous month.
Post-Christmas "white sales" and other January clearances dropped clothing and house furnishing prices on the index far enough to offset increases in the cost of food, rent and other items, experts explained.
