One Bill Charged To Bitter Bird By Editor Herriott
By Bibler
Only one of the bills questioned in the All Student council report on the Bitter Eird's financial condition had the Bitter Bird name at the top. Inspection of the bills by a Kansan reporter revealed that two other bills were made out to Terry Herriott, with notations that the purchases were made for the Bitter Bird.
The report of the publications committee of the A.S.C. on Sept. 23, charged with carrying out $204.86 for such items as photograph records, want ads, automatic clocks, and gasoline. Harold T. Herriot, former editor of the Bitter Bird, in his reply to the Kansan's telegram to him concerning the magazine's financial condition, said that "none of the listed are Bitter Bird debts, nor are they in Bitter Bird name, but they are mine and arrangements have been made regarding them."
Bitter Bird Charged For Clock
The only bill which was charged directly to the Bitter Bird, was the one for an automatic clock. The total bill with taxes amounted to $15.81. A note at the bottom read: "This clock was purchased by Terry Merriott." (This is the spelling on the bill.)
Several Balances Carried Over
A bill from the Bell Music company noted a "balance due on May 30 totaling $3.92." The bill was made out to "Terry Herriott. 2101 Vt., City." A note in parentheses at the bottom read "purchased for the Bitter Bird magazine."
The Lawrence Journal - World charged "Terry Herrriy, 1109 Ind., City" with a want ad for 48 cents. The ad was charged on May 27, 1947 and bore no reference to the Bitter Bird magazine.
The bill for $100.36 at the Fritz Cities Service station was charged to "H. T. Herriott, 1100 Ind., City." There were balances carried over from March, April, and June. No reference was made on the bill to the Bitter Bird magazine.
Students' wives may purchase activity books Friday and until game time Saturday, Karl Klooz, bursar, announced today. Or activity books may be turned in for credit on reserved seat tickets.
Activity book holders can turn in their student tickets at the athletic office for $1.00 credit, Earl Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said today. By adding $1.75 to this amount, the student can purchase a reserved seat for athletic events.
"I've worked out your schedule, Muelansloski—you take Fundamentals of Phys. Ed, Elementary Phys. Ed., General Phys. Ed., Advanced Phys. Ed., Finger and Arm Exercises II and III, Sports, Recreation, and then of course you'll get some credit for football."
Wives of K.U. students will be able to attend home football games with their husbands, sitting either in the student section or in reserved seats.
Wives To See Home Games
Mr. Falkenstien added that any student activity book holder can take advantage of the sale. Students' wives who have activity books will sit in the student section as usual, he said.
"Married students whose wives do not have activity books will probably be the ones most interested in this," mr. Falkenstein said.
For the Iowa State game Saturday, students who want reserved seats must turn in at the athletic office the activity book receipts they have now. The receipts will be returned after the game, Mr. Falkenstien explained.
"When the students get their regular activity books, they must bring them here if they want reserved seats, and we will remove the proper ticket after they have paid the additional $1.75," Mr. Falkenstein said.
Little Man On Campus

Everyone's Going None Predicting
The chancellor said that Gov. Frank Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, Lt. Gov. F. L. Hagaman and Mr. Oscar Stauffer, member of the Board of Regents, will be his guests at the game.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni association, "I think we can win. We're better, but they've got our team and we'll have to work hard."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, "I'll be at the game and I'm looking forward to the beginning of this football season with confidence."
Dean Paul B. Lawson, "I have enough sense to be at all home games, which I never miss. I'll be cheering, too, but I'm leaving the predictions for the experts."
Prof. W.W. Davis, University faculty representative in the Big Six; "I know they have a good team. It's going to be a hard fought and close game. I'll be there yelling like hell."

The largest parade in the history of K. U. with several thousand persons on hand to witness the procession of nightshirt jesters snake-dance down Massachusetts street will be staged tonight.
Prof. F. E. Melvin of the department of history, remembers the marchers back in 1904 when the snake-dance was nothing but a 'squirm'.
Walkie-Talkie Gets Workout Tonight
L. E. Woolley, union bookstore manager, said today that two of the portable electric megaphones have been delayed and may not be available for the football game Saturday.
Cheerleaders will use the one available walkie-talkie unit for the first time during the annual nightshirt parade and rally tonight in South park.
"The cheerleaders will use the one walkie-talkie unit regardless," Mr. Woolley said.
No Rioting At KU
"It was largely Tom Sweeny, an insurance man, who got the town's merchants into the friendly spirit of contributing refreshments and offering their hospitality," Professor Melvin said.
"Here in Lawrence there has always been a good friendly spirit between the school and town. There never has been rioting here as compared to other schools and the parade has been better than anywhere," Professor Melvin said.
Armstrong said, "The Ku Ku's would like to thank everyone for their co-operation in planning the parade. We would especially like to thank the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, the Lawrence police department, the campus police, and the dean of men."
As to the origin of the Nightshirt parade, Professor Melvin said, "It was not copied from the University of Missouri as some people believe. It was rather they who copied the parade from us."
"Two prizes of 10 theater tickets each will be given for the most old-fashioned and the loudest night-shirts in the parade." Stanley Schwahn, manager of the local theaters, said.

Cheerleaders will lead the rally and be on hand to judge and to present the prizes on the stage of the Granada theater at 11:15 p.m. Judges are Joan Woodward, Dorothy Scroggy, Bernadine Reed, Richard Wintermute, Arthur Ruppenthal, Wilbur Friesen, and Norvel Osborn.
