Modern Muntz Jet Replaces 'Chug-A-Lug' At ADPi House
By DIANNE STONEBRAKER
Two years ago a 1924 Dodge touring car known as "Chug-A-Lug" sat in the Alpha Delta Pi driveway. Today passersby will see a swank, ultra-modern Muntz Jet.
The "long, low, and lean" char-treuse car is not a foreign-made automobile. Designed by "Madman" Muntz, it was manufactured in Evanston, Ill., by the Muntz车公司.
The temporary owner of the car is Joyce Driver, College sophomore. Her uncle $\Delta$. A. B. Hudson, one of the owners of the Hudson Auto company, presented it to her for one week as a birthday present.
The Jet starts, stops, and moves more swiftly than any stock car the world has ever known. It is now in full scale production.
A distinguished characteristic of this new American concept of a sports car is the arm rest in the center of the front seat which contains the glove compartment and radio.
The hardtopped convertible is made of a one-piece welded frame. The Bendix braking system is engineered to provide stopping within 15 feet at 30 mph.
The car is powered by a Lincoln V-8 hydramatic engine with 176 horse power. The speedometer reads 160 and has been clocked at 143.
The charteuse leather upholstery gives the appearance of snakeskin. Additional features of this "little burt on campus" are safety belts in
the front seat and a gas tank located in the trunk.
Specifications are height, 54 inches; weight, 3300, and length, 181 inches. Seating capacity is four.
When asked how come her uncle trusted her with this extraordinary Jet, Joyce replied that "it was my uncle who taught me to drive."
She said that driving the Muntz is not much different from driving any other car except that it has a tendency to get away from her at times if she forgets it is such a high-powered machine.
The reaction of the campus to this novelty can be briefly summed up in a question asked of Joyce one day by a boy who looked at the car and said, "When are you leaving for the moon?"

Judge Speaks To Law Students
Page 3
"Endure this inevitable period of waiting," Judge A. K. Stavely, of the 35th Kansas judicial district, told law students Thursday night as he characterized "The Starvation Period" during the early years of law practice.
On the basis of his more than 40 years experience as a judge and law practitioner, Judge Stavely gave the lawyers four points of advice: cultivate friends, cultivate character, cultivate know-how, and learn to speak and write the English language in a clear, concise, and convincing manner.
"You will become acquainted with the starvation period soon after you leave the portals of Green hall," he said. "But despite its financial problems, it can be a period of preparation during which a foundation for future success can be laid."
"People are suspicious of us because they are afraid of us," he commented. "The best means of overcoming this is by having in the law profession more honesty, more sincerity, more courage, and more dependability."

Speaking at a dinner meeting of Phi Alpha Delta, professional law fraternity, at the Dine-A-Mite Inn, Judge Stavely stressed particularly the importance of adhering to the standards of professional ethics.
Discussing the necessity of knowing the "how" and "when" of various legal actions, the judge expressed the hope that law will soon require a period of internship for young lawyers prior to their admission into general practice.
Paul A. Wolf, law senior, presided at the meeting. Members of the law school faculty and Lawrence attorneys were guests.
