Traffic Violators Assessed $43 By Student Court
Fines tofaling $43 were levied against student traffic violators by the student court session at Green hall Tuesday night. All violations were for illegal parking.
Harry R. Hanson, engineering junior, was also found guilty of obtaining a parking permit by fraud and his right to drive a car on the campus was suspended for the entire school year.
George R. Learned, College sophmore, was wined $19 on 11 violations. He had appealed 19 charges. Chief Justice Robert Foulton suspended $9 of this fine, however, on condition that he commit no more violations this semester.
Four More Fined
Other students fined were George A. Newton, $9, and Raymond J. Manhart, $1. Frank W. Korber and Weymouth J. Lowe were found guilty for failing to appear before the court and each were fined $7.
Michael F. Andrews, Russel N. Barrett, and Charles R. Minion won their appeals and were not fined.
The court announced that on more appeals will be heard from first offenders who have only one charge against them because of the time involved. No fine is imposed for a first offense.
6.000 Tickets Issued
More than 6,000 parking tickets have been issued since the beginning of school, the office of the parking committee has announced. Of these violations, 700 students have fines that range from $1 to $45 with the average fine amounting to $3.
Approximately half of these tickets have been issued on Jayhawk drive. Several 20-minute zones are located on the south side of this street where commuters could park their cars and avoid getting violations tickets, according to Wayne H. Gugler, clerk of the parking committee.
Parking Zone "T," the drive east of Fraser theater, and the street in front of the Union are also scenes of frequent parking violations. Commuters apparently do not realize the drive east of Fraser theater is a parking zone. The east side of the street in front of the Union and the north end of the west side are also part of parking areas and only cars bearing "U" parking plates will be permitted to park there.
Bowl Tickets Already Sold Out
The University has been allotted 2,500 Orange bowl tickets, but at least that number have already been applied for at the athletic business office, Earl Falkenstien said today.
The tickets will sell for $6 and $7, which means that persons in this area will shell out at least $16,500 for tickets. Applicants have made no down payment and will pay when they pick up their tickets, which will be made available immediately when they arrive the latter part of the week.
No more applications will be accepted, Mr. Falkenstien said.
The Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic association (Big Six) conference on racial discrimination passed a resolution to eliminate racial discrimination in athletics, Lynn Leigh, K. U. conference representative, said today. The conference was held at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln Nov. 29 and 30.
Health Service To Receive New X-Ray To Aid In Drive Against Tuberculosis
Group Asks For New Race Rule
The resolution will be presented at the Big Six basketball tournament in Kansas City, Dec. 12 and 13 and reads as follow:
"The student delegates attending the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic association on Nov. 29 and 30 at Lincoln, Neb., having taken into consideration the attitudes of the Universities of Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska, and Kansas State and Iowa State on discrimination do unanimously adopt the following resolution.
One. That there be deleted from the M.V.I.A.Rules and regulations the clause 'and the personnel of visiting teams shall be so selected as to conform with any restrictions imposed upon a host installation by the sovereign authority or the authorities that govern said host institution'.
The Kansas Tuberculosis and Health association has agreed to give the University health service a late model 70 mm. x-ray machine, Dr. Ralph Canuteson, health service director, said today.
To Delete Old Rule
Two. That there be added the clause "any eligible student of a member institution shall be allowed to participate in all competitive athletic events at any member institution."
Since 1932 the health service has examined more than 25,000 students and campus personnel by means of tuberculin tests and x-rays. Eighty-seven cases of tuberculosis have been found with 34 of these being in an active or contagious state. Early diagnosis and hospitalization of these cases assured rapid recovery and protected the rest of the community from infection, Dr. Canutson said.
The Universities of Oklahoma and Missouri did not send representatives to the conference Leigh said, although Oklahoma sent a telegram stating that the question of discrimination would be put to a student vote in the near future.
Oklahoma Sends Wire
"This will enable every student and faculty member to be x-rayed annually, thus assuring maximum health protection against tuberculosis," Dr. Canuteson said
"Christmas seals finance similar projects for many others. The annual sale of these seals is an opportunity for students to contribute to the control and eventual eradication of tuberculosis and to know that
25. 000 Students Examined
their contribution is being used for their own immediate benefit," the health director explained. Hospital To Back Drive
"Tuberculosis is exceeded only by accidents as a cause of prolonged disability and death among the age group from 15 to 30 years. It is a contagious disease and therefore is a health program of importance to every individual."
4 Men Escape Topeka Jail In Stolen Cars
As in the past, Watkins hospital staff members will be backing the tuberculosis campaign. On display in the hospital corridor are certificates representing the amount of Christmas seals purchased each year by the staff since 1940.
Topeka, Kan. — (UP) — An auto theft expert described as “a most dangerous criminal” and three fugitive companions apparently stole two cars during the night and have made a getaway after escaping the Topeka city jail, sheriff Bill Coates said to dav.
Two cars—a 1946 DeSoto and a 1941 Chevrolet — were taken from residences near the fail.
Coates said he felt sure those to blame were Robert McGuire, Topeka, and three other men who pulled the first successful escape from the Topeka city jail in the institution's history.
The sheriff termed McGuire "a man who probably won't be taken alive, a most dangerous criminal."
The four dug out of their cells, climbed through a narrow ventilator to the roof of the jail last night, hopped across to an adjoining building and descended to the ground.
Geologists Dig And Fish
A geologist has certain advantages over other people in combining pleasure with work. He may find it necessary to explore spots where good fishing holes may also be found, Dr. L. R. Laudon, geology professor, told the coffee and forums committee last night.
Dr. Laudon told of a "serious attempt" made by himself and members of a geological searching party last summer, in an effort to gather important geological information in an unexplored area of British Columbia. Canada.
Colored movie slides and motion pictures were shown in elaborating on his topic, "Geological Exploration by Air." Dr. Laudon discussed the experiences, hardships, and humorous incidents encountered by the searching party of "pioneers" in the unexplored region of the Canadian Rockies.
Fossil hunting proved fruitful as the explorers searched among the rocks of the Dionian and Mississippiian ages, and "fishing in the Canadian lakes and streams was especially good," Dr. Laudon added.
Cafe Food, Prices Will Be Checked
Food and pricing policies of local restaurants will be investigated by the Sunflower Statesmens club in checking situations involving student welfare on the hill, in Lawrence, and throughout the state.
This group of former boy staters announced Tuesday that this plan will be within the national organization's primary purpose of promoting students' interests in politics and social welfare.
Four committees and chairmen were appointed: publicity, Kent Shearer; campus problems, Allyn Browne; social events, Jim Selig; and legislative, Bill Adams.
Dude Ranch Sold To Monks
Pecos, N. M.,—(UP)—The Valley Ranch, one of the largest dude ranches in northern New Mexico, has been sold to the Cistercian Order, a group of Catholic monks also known as Trappists.

Engineering Jobs Thick
DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, was guest star on the "Calling the Deans on the Carpet" program Tuesday.
Dean Carr gave every encouragement to engineering students. "Job offers are coming in by the hundreds," he said. "The average starting salary for an engineer is about $2,000 to $2,500."
When Tom Yoe, the interviewer, asked Dean Carr what kind of engineers he had over at Marvin, Dean Carr laughed. "Nothing but good ones" he said.
There are women in almost all of the 11 engineering departments, Dean Carr said. The reason for women in engineering was probably their work in war industries.
Dean Carr cleared up a rumor that has been directed at the School of Engineering for years. "We've been accused of being slave-drivers," he said. "The truth is engineering is just a tough go."
