Facultv To Get Tuberculin Tests Feb.7 To 14
Tuberculin tests will be given faculty members and employees of the University Feb. 7 to 14 inclusive, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson said today.
The board of regents requires that "X-rays must be taken of all new instructors of 35 years or younger with new X-rays every two years".
For teachers over 35 years of age, X-rays are required ever five years. These tests are given for the protection of the students as well as the faculty, Dr. Canuteson continued.
A mobile unit from the state board of health will be here for the tests and "it shouldn't take any longer than to write your name or snap a picture, because the X-rays can be taken with your clothing on." he said.
'Vets Will Register In Usual Manner'
Tuberculin tests and X-rays will be required of all new students coming in this next semester, he added, and students now in school who have not had an X-ray taken during the past year are also to come in for an X-ray only. All tuberculin tests will be given at Watkins hospital.
"Veterans and non-veterans will follow the same procedure during registration and enrollment." James Hitt, registrar, said today.
Mr. Hitt emphasized that under the G.I. bill the veteran does not actually pay his fees. However, he must go through the fee line along with regular students, at the time set by the schedule for all students, in order to secure a fee receipt from the business office. Without a fee receipt, no student will be allowed to enroll in any course.
to ensure that instruction to veterans under the G.I. bill, the veterans' bureau has requested that all veterans fill out the class card issued with purchase order books, and turn them in as soon as possible after enrollment. Until class cards are turned in to the veterans' bureau, approval for the veterans' subsistence allotment can not be sent to the regional office.

Miss Moore was on an extended
European concert tour. She had
finished writing her memoirs a
few days before she died. She told Dania
newsmen, "Many people write
their memories when they are old and
forgetten. I want to write mine while
I am still on top and feel I can give
people something through my singing
and not only just by memories.
Miss Moore opened the University Concert series at K.U. in 1944.

Student Court Fines Five Of 13 Drivers

You Can't Eat Snakes Here On Sunday
The poor duck in Colorado has one consolation; it is unlawful for hunters to shoot at him from an airplane. Another protective law is found in
University students who dine on Sunday should keep in mind that in Kansas it is unlawful to eat snakes on the Sabbath.
For example, Connecticut citizens are prohibited by an old law to sit closer than eight inches to a person of the opposite sex on a Connecticut park bench. And no man in Macon, Ga, may put his arm around a woman without legal excuse.
man without regard. Indeed, some of the strange state laws are beneficial. Students at the University of Missouri will not be shocked by a strange hat, for an old Missouri law makes it illegal to wear a hat that frightens timid persons.
Perhaps such a law would affect few reptile eaters at the University; however many states other than Kansas have strange laws which prohibits certain types of activity.
New Jersey where the wearing of dangerous hatpins in public places is prohibited.
Wishing to avoid serious argument over a woman's appearance, the young bridegroom should settle in Owensboro, Ky., where it is illegal for a woman to buy a new hat unless her husband tries it on first.
The unsuspecting Chicago male can rest assured of one protection. According to a Chicago ordinance, a woman may be fined for driving a car if she wears a hat that covers one eye.
Women in Gary, Ind., have one assurance, for riding a streetcar or attending a theater within four hours after eating garlic is prohibited.
But the Kansas student, feeling cheated that he is not allowed to dine on snakes on Sunday, is compensated by the fact that in Kansas one may at least hang feminine underwear on an outside wash line, an interesting act prohibited by law in Nappanee, Ind.
Ticket System Will Be Changed Next Season
Falkenstien Says Present Plan Is 'Unworkable'
Students who have been packing their suppers and waiting in line to see the Jayhawker basketball team perform this winter may be saved such a struggle next year.
such a struggle. In an official athletic department announcement Monday Earl Falkenstien, business manager, said the present seating arrangement definitely will be changed next year.
"Last fall when we originated our present plan we thought it was workable, but apparently it is not. We know there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction among the students which we regret. The basketball team is the student's team and we certainly want to find the best arrangement possible."
raenkienstion said the athletic department would welcome any student ideas toward the solution, and recommended they be presented to the student council, which, in turn, will pass them along to the department.
He dispelled any idea of a change for the second semester this year.
The record enrollment of 9,000 this fall overflowed Hoch auditorium, home of Jayhawker hoop teams for two decades, which seats only 3,500.
"We would not be able to obtain new tickets until after the second semester starts," Falkenstien explained, "and that leaves only two games on each set."
"Its just another reason why we need a field house," Mr. Falkenstien concluded.
The upper-classmen walked off with the indoor interclass track meet held during the weekend, piling up a 70-49 margin.
Hal Moore, junior distance runner, helped the upper-classmen with 15 points for the best individual record. Moore took first in the 880-yard run, the mile run, and the two-mile run. John Jackson and Dexter Welton, both upper-classmen, followed Moore with 12 and 11 points respectively.

A campaign to promote the World War II Memorial drive will be conducted on the campus next semester.
Bathurst Will Head Memorial Drive Group
Tom Scofield and Earl Jones missed the meet because of injuries.
