Laird Campbell, chief justice of the court, acting according to sections of the constitution of the All Student Council, appointed John MacGregor, third year law student, as sheriff of the court, and George Lewey, graduate student, as coroner. Lewey is a licensed Kansas mortician.
Because "he was not his brother's keeper", two tickets issued to Edward Balda, engineering senior, were received. The tickets the tickets were charged to him, but were issued to his brother who is no longer in school.
"We want to be prepared for any instance of gangsterism on the campus." Chief Justice Campbell said.
In the case of Richard Moore, engineering junior, and Richard Zlotky, engineering senior, tickets were concealed since they were driving under University authorization while preparing for the recent Engineering exposition.
Alfred Sim, College sophomore had one ticket for parking in an illegal zone reversed. Sim had parked on the tract south of Lindley hall where the new fieldhouse is to be built while on a geology field trip.

Must Pay Debts To Get Degree
As a reminder to all students, but especially to graduating seniors, James K. Hitt, registrar, said Tuesday that "a student will not be recommended for a degree if he owes the University money."
Unpaid hospital bills and parking and library fines can keep a senior from graduating. University rules provide that no student shall graduate owing the University.
Students who are not graduating are required to clear up all University fines or bills against them before they can register for the summer session, fall semester, or have their transcripts sent to other schools.
Mr. Hitt urged that these debts be taken care of before Saturday "to avoid possible last-minute embarrassment or complications."
Any student who thinks that he may owe the hospital, library, or parking fines should check at the main desk at Watkins hospital; the traffic office, 200 Old Flower shops; and the circulation desk, third floor Watson Library.
The $12 commencement fee for graduating seniors is now due and payable at the business office, 121 Strong hall.
Students planning to return to the University for the summer session or fall semester must sign a former students' card in the registrar's office, 122 Strong hall, before the end of the semester if they have not already done so.
