Commencement Fee Increased
仓
Commencement fees for June graduates of the University will be $12 instead of the $7.50 which has been the charge for many years, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said recently.
Graduates paying the higher fee will be given sheepskin diplomas instead of paper ones, he said. The sheepskin diplomas, unavailable during the war, cost $1.85 each. Cost of the paper diplomas was less.
Persons finishing school this semester will pay the old fee. Post graduate degrees will be $10 instead of the current $$.
While paying the higher fee, the June graduates won't have to pay the customary 50-cent cap and gown rental. The 50-cent fee, which is for cleaning expenses, will be absorbed into the higher charge.
Another reason given by Mr. Nichols for the increase in cost is the necessity of renting additional caps and gowns for the large senior class. Commercial establishments charge $2.50 a set, K.U. is one of the few schools that owns its own cap and gowns, and has kept the charge low in the past, but this year about 1,200 sets will have to be rented.
The large senior classes means larger and more programs, an expanded public address system, and new stage arrangement, Mr. Nichols explained.

Portland, Maine, —(U,P)—Back in 1836 John Yarno decided to save one million pennies. Now he's given up the idea. Two friends had to help him take his savings, 110,000 pennies, to a bank.
Miss Mowery is a member of Sigma Kappa sorority and a graduate student in drama. Mr. Keating is a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon and a business senior.
Postman Cannot Deliver $1 Birthday Present
Hastings, Neb.—(U.P.) Some recent arrival here probably never will get the $1 gift from his uncle and aunt sent to him shortly after his birth.
Postal authorities said they weren't able to deliver a letter addressed only to a "first name" and including no street address.
Inside was a card and a one-dollar bill. The card was signed only "Auntie and Uncle."

Why Didn't KU Think Of This?
San Rafael, Cal.—(U.P.)-Who you've got the fifth most beaten. Students at the College of Marin drooled recently on learning seven intrepid stalwarts kidnapped shapely Jone Pederson from Santa Rosa Junior college, their rival in a recent "big game."
San Rafael, Cal. — (U.P.)—Who cares about football, just so long as you've got the fifth most beautiful girl in the nation as your prize? Write at the College of Marin
Call 383
A student at Santa Rosa J.C., Miss Pederson is officially the most beautiful girl in California. She placed fifth in the Atlantic City beauty contest.
A group of seven boys from College of Marin went from San Rafael to Miss Pederson's home in Santa Rosa. They waited outside for her to return from a drama club rehearsal. When she appeared, the boys surrounded her escort and tied him up.
Then they whisked Miss Pederson to a secret hideaway near San
Rafael. She was guarded by fraternity men.
On the way to the hideout, the kidnapers remembered their manners. They telephoned Miss Pederson's mother and told her that her daughter was in good hands.
Miss Pederson was exhibited at the game like a trophy of the Reeman wars in a homecoming parade float.

Reliable informants said Miss Pederson was not incensed at her captivity.
