'Bird' Ads Paid 10 Per Cent. Clayton Says
Ruth Clayton said today that she was never paid more than 10 per cent of the advertising she sold for the Bitter Bird.
Miss Clayton, business manager, was asked to comment on Harold T. Herriott's reply after the University Daily Kansan had sent him a telegram asking him to explain the financial muddle of the Bitter Bird treasury. A report by the publications committee of the All Student Council had revealed $204.86 in debts and $878.20 of advertising revenue which could not be accounted
Progressive Rate For Ads
In commenting on Harold T. Herriot's telegraphic reply to the Daily Kansan, in which he stated that Miss Clayton was paid at a "progressive amount of advertising depending on the amount she sold." Miss Clayton said:
A check at the University business office failed to uncover any record of the rate at which the advertising commission was to be naid. Vouchers for $24.50 and $116.51, payable to Miss Clayton, were found. The vouchers did not state the rate of payment for the advertising, nor the amount of advertising they represented.
"I was paid 10 per cent on the advertising. We did not sell enough advertising for the commission to progress higher than 10 per cent."
When asked how much advertising she had sold for the Bitter Bird, Miss Clayton said that she did not know the exact figures. However, she said that her 10 per cent would make the total advertising revenue approximately $1,700.
Herriott Denies Miscellany
Herriot Defiles Miscellany
In his telegram to the Kansan, Herriot denied that such items as alarm clocks, classified ads, and phonograph records were charged to the Bitter Bird.
Asked to comment, Miss Clayton said, "I don't know whether Terry told them to charge the things to the Bitter Bird or whether they just assumed they were to be charged to
the Bitter Bird. However, the bills have the Bitter Bird name on them.
The business office did not have the bills in its files.

"I didn't realize how big a job it was till I got started," Verle said. The VanCamps plan to finish the twelve by twenty foot cement block
People Are Helpful
"The people in Lawrence have treated us swell," he said, "and with their help and advice I'm putting in the plumbing."
Activities of the Independent Student association will include a roller skating party, student-faculty open houses, a halloween party, and the Christmas formal, the I.S.A. council said Monday.
If you stop by the VanCamps' project some evening around 5:30 you'll see Betty working right by Verle's side.
Before entering the University, Verle spent three years in the army, and while stationed in Washington he decided to take aeronautical engineering. In Lawrence the VanCamps were unable to find a suitable home, so they decided to build one. Verle estimated the cost of the garage to reach $1,000, excluding the fixtures.
"She can lay blocks just as good as I can, and she has just as many blisters," Verle said with pride in his eye.
I. S.A. will observe National Independent's Week, to be observed by independent student associations throughout the nation Oct. 10 to 17.
Malcolm Pfautz, business senior, was elected senior men's representative to the council.

Smith Will Give First Humanities Series Lecture
Starting the new series of humanity lectures to be presented by the College, Thomas Vernor Smith, author and professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago, will speak at 8 p.m. Oct. 7 in Fraser theater.
His topic will the The Humanities in Modern Life, Prof. C.P. Osborne, chairman of the humanities committee, has announced.
Eight lectures are scheduled for the academic year with outside speakers. Exact dates have not yet been decided, but the subjects to be spoken on are English literature, history, European literature, music, medieval studies, classical literature, and religion.
Create A Better Atmosphere
In May, 1947 the committee decided that three important facts necessary to create a more favorable environment at the University were good library facilities, an intellectual atmosphere, and a lightening of economic pressures to permit freedom for contemplation and meditation.
Professor Smith received his A. B. from the University of Texas in 1915, and his M. A. in 1916. In 1922 he completed work for his A. D. at the University of Chicago. Rapp was taught at the University of Chicago since 1927.
From 1935 to 1938 he was an Illinois state senator, and was a member of the 76th congress from Illinois. Served In Both Wars
He served as a private in World War one, and as a Lt. Col. in the recent world conflict. In 1944 he was Director of Education, Allied Control commission, in Italy. In 1947 he was on the Commission of Japanese Education.
YMCA To Meet Tonight
The first Y.M.C.A. membership meeting of the year will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas room of the Union. The program will feature a motion picture, "Invisible Bridge," a work of the "Y" in foreign countries.
Foreign students at the University will be guests at the meeting.
Political Leaders Call Independent To Form Party
A new campus political party may be born tonight.
Several Names Suggested
Several student political leaders are throwing open to all independent students an organizational meeting at 8:30 tonight in the Union ballroom. They plan to make the whole thing coeducational, with an independent women's political group also in attendance.
Among the leaders of the movement are Bruce Bathurst, College junior, Edward Stollenwerk, sophomore, Dale Judy, Senior, and Robert Bennett, Sophomore. They think that the recent death of P.S.-G.L., former independent men's political party, has left the independent student without means of representation in student government. Among suggested names for the new party are Independents, Jayhawk party, and Fusion party.
Dean George B. Smith of the School of Education left today for Dodge City where he will address the regional meeting of the Federated Women's club.
"We thing the independents can be united again if the new organization is completely representative. Although the values of student government have been questioned, it is a training ground in the so-called national government." Judy said. "The Voice of the Power!"
'The Voice Of The Parrot'
Commenting on charges from all sides last year that small inner groups dominate political parties, Bathurst said, "If we can decrease the apathy of the independent voter, there will be no trouble with inner circle control."
Asked about a statement by the president of the Progressive party that his organization will offer a new voice to the independent voter, Bennett said, "His party is not the voice of the voter; it's the voice of the parrot, echoing the Pachacamac inner circle."
Smith, Ellsworth Address Meetings
Tomorrow and Thursday Dean Smith and Miss Maud Ellsworth, education professor, will speak at the eleventh annual Winfield education clinic. The clinic in Winfield is held each year for teachers and administrators of the south central Kansas area.
Dean Smith will speak on problems of teaching and administration, and Professor Ellsworth will address teacher groups on art education.
Let Winter Come, Let Fly The Snow We Shall Have Heat Wherever We Go
The heat's on at the University today.
As of 11 a.m. buildings on the campus are getting their first heat treatment of the year, W.C. Sanderson, chief engineer, said today. Last year the heat was turned on about Sept. 15.
"We were delayed this year because we had installed several new lines and enlarged some old ones," $ \textcircled{1} $ Mt.
the west side services Watson library, Fraser hall, the Journalism building, Watkins hospital, and Blake hall had to be enlarged. Lines also had to be run to service the quosset huts that have been built on the campus.
The heat will be left on all day
while engineers check all lines, Mr. Sanderson said.
In the future, however, the heat will be left on only when the temperature drops to 55 degrees or below. As long as it remains in the upper 60's, the heat will be left on only long enough to take the chill from the buildings.
