Tighten Belts, Checks May Not Come Today
According to E. R. Elbel, director of the veterans bureau, there is no indication that veteran's cheeks will be delayed this month.
By Bibler
"We receive between 150 and 200 checks each months at the office for those who do not get them in the mail. So far, we have received 100 checks which is normal, more are expected to come in today. The veterans office has not had any notification regarding a delay of checks this month," he said.
Washington—(UP)—The Veterans administration won't be able to issue monthly checks to nearly 2,780,000 veterans today because congress hasn't appropriated the money yet.
The shortage affects most of the 1,120,000 veterans receiving read-justment allowances while unemployed or self-employed, and 1,600,-000 others getting subsistence payments while in school or on job training.
The VA meanwhile instructed all student veterans who plan to attend summer school to notify V.A. regional offices so their subsistence checks may be continued.
V. A. said the funds were provided in a deficiency appropriation bill still awaiting final action.
Payments will be resumed as soon as the bill is passed.

_little Man On Campus
"Did my check come today?"
In the same session he was fined six dollars for four violations this semester. His appeal will be heard May 6.
Harold T. Herriott was given permission in student court, Tuesday, to appeal the $140 fine levied against him last semester for 28 parking violations.
New Instructors Are Scarce Dean Jones Discovers On Trip
"Well, I found that traveling conditions are easing up anyway," J. O. Jones, dean of the School of Engineering, said concerning his tour of colleges and universities in the Midwest. His trip, in search of recruits for the engineering faculty, proved unsuccessful.
Motion for a new trial was denied Edwin T. Mahood who was fined $25, suspended sentence on $15, for transferring parking permits. Jean Moore was defense attorney for Mahood.
The Dean had hoped to get help from the heads of other engineering schools in the area, but instead he found that most of them were in a
worse plight than he. "The best I could do was to get the dean of the engineering school at the University of Iowa to trade me two men who are getting their master's degree this spring. I have to send him two of ours, so we gain nothing. It's a sad situation," Dean Jones concluded as he shook his head.
During the trip, Dean Jones visited the Universities of Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, Northwestern University, and two small colleges. In all of these schools he found a shortage of engineering teachers.
The Dean laughed as he remarked concerning the number of old friends he had run into during his visits on the various campuses. He was especially impressed by the number of K.U. men on the faculty at Michigan. "It looks as if there are more K.U. graduates and ex-faculty men at Michigan than there are here at the University," he remarked.
"I believe that we at K.U. are better staffed than most of these schools. I know that we have better equipment than most of them, so I guess that we have no room to complain," he said.
Herriott's Appeal OK'd By Court
Brown Wins ISA Award
Darrel R. Brown, freshman engineer, will receive the ISA $50 scholarship this semester, Betty van der Smissen, chairman of the ISA scholarship committee, announced today.
Brown was one of the two candidates selected from s geral applicants interviewed by the ISA council. He was chosen by a joint student-faculty scholarship committee including Margaret Habein, dean of women; J. H. Nelson dean of the graduate school; Wilms Tompkins, assistant dean of men; Betty van der Smissen and Wilma Hildebrand, college sophomores; Victor Reinking, college junior.
Mud Slinging Parties To Be Fined By ASC
Council Asks For Dance Reports, Must Approve Fund Appropriations
Mud slinging and name calling by any political party makes that party subject to a fine of from $50 to $100, if it is convicted by the student court. This fine must be paid to the treasurer of the All Student Council before that party can enter any candidate in an all-University election.
The famous Wagnerian soprano, Miss Helen Traubel, will present the final program of the University concert series at 8:20 p.m. Monday in Hoch auditorium. Miss Traubel sang at the University in 1942.
Helen Traubel To Present Final Concert Monday
Comments of definite news value, published by any University publication such as the Daily Kansan, will not make that publication subject to this ruling passed by the A.S.C. Tuesday night.
Miss Trabuel was born in St. Louis where she received much of her early training. Her first important engagement was a six-week tour as solist with the St. Louis symphony. After hearing her sing, Walter Damrosch wrote a special role for her in his opera "The Man Without a Country."
Miss Traubel's concert will include selections from the works of Schubert and Richard Strauss, an aria from Wagner's "Die Walkure," and a closing group of English and American songs.
In 1937 she made her Metropolitan Opera debut. After an outstanding Town Hall recital in 1939, she sang over the radio and as solist with the New York Philharmonic orchestra. Her triumph with the Metropolitan Opera company as Sieglinde in "Die Walkure" soon followed.
Students may be admitted to the concert by presenting activity books and paying tax for tickets the night of the concert. Tickets are on sale at the School of Fine Arts office, Bell's Music company, and the Round Corner drug store.
Group To Honor Student Engineer
The Weddings Will Have To Wait
Recognition will be given to an outstanding underclassman in engineering each year, Tau Beta Pi, engineering fraternity, decided in a meeting Tuesday in Marvin hall. Details of the plan will be worked out later.
Initiation will be at 5:30 p.m. May 19, followed by a banquet in the Kansas room of the Union building.
Plans and ideas for the erection of a monument in the area between Lindley and Marvin halls were discussed.
Chapel To Have First Baptismal Service
Weddings will take a back seat in Danforth chapel Sunday when the first baptismal service will take place.
John Michael, 3. a 1 Irven Kelley, three months, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Irven W. Hayden, K. J. students, will be baptized by the Rev. Edwin F. Price.
Mr. Hayden is a senior in the School of Education. His wife was the former Ruth Kelley, '43.
The year-old, small, stone building at the east end of the campus has been a traditional place for student weddings. More than 75 couples have been married there since March 20, 1946.
Reservations for 14 weddings have been scheduled for the chapel in June.
Eagle To Soar Again
Universal military training, Henry Wallace's European tour, and communism and democracy will be discussed in this issue.
The next issue of the Eagle, recently-organized campus paper, will appear May 14 as decided at a staff meeting Monday.
After any dance that draws on funds controlled by the A.S.C., the dance manager must file a detailed report concerning the nature of the expenditures. He must give a copy of this report to the auditing committee, the A.S.C. treasurer, and the chairman of the A.S.C. social committee.
Must File Application
Any group that wants an appropriation of funds from the All Student Council must file an application with the A.S.C. finance committee. This application must state how the funds are to be used, a budget of the organization for the present school-year, and the names of the president and treasurer of the group.
University extra-curricular organizations changing their A.S.C. representative this semester, must have that man chosen and ready to be sworn in at the May 13 meeting. The purpose is to have all of the new members in at once. John Irwin, president, said.
$500 For Foreign Student
Five hundred dollars was appropriated for a foreign student scholarship at the University. This practice was started last year. A committee composed of Bruce Bathurst, chairman, Allan Cromley, Tom Harmon, and Anne Scott will meet with Mr. J. H. Nelson, dean of the graduate school, to decide the country from which this student is to come.
Other appropriations were $690 to finish paying the K-Book debt, $500 for the Varsity dance fund, and $302 to pay for the spring election expenses.
K-Book In Two Sections
The K-Book for the fall semester will be printed in two separate sections. The first will be a book of general student information while the second part will be the date book or calendar.
"It is being printed in two parts because the calendar won't be decided upon definitely until September and the University wants to send out general information booklets to new students this summer." Anne Scott, publications committee chairman, said.
The matter was referred to the finance committee which is to give its answer at the next meeting.
Jean Moore, College senior, appeared as spokesman for the student United Nation's group and asked for an appropriation of $100 for the organization's use. This sum is to be used for the rest of this semester.
Corwin Suggests Safety Regulations
Convertibles and open jeeps have been violating the law by carrying an excessive number of passengers, Robert Corwin, campus traffic officer announced today. "Such violations will be punished in the future," he added.
Three persons is the maximum allowed by law in the front seat of any vehicle, Corwin pointed out. He also emphasized that pedestrians had become lax in their observance of signals at intersections. "For the safety of all, hand signals of the traffic officer must be obeyed by both drivers and pedestrians," he stated.
