Sales Slips
Don't throw away that student book store sales slip. It's your stock in a paying corporation.
The student book store already has collected more than 10 dollars' worth of receipts which students have thrown away or left. These will be given to some charity when "dividends" are distributed next July.
Theoretically, the student book store is a non-profit enterprise, since all money over costs of the business is returned in proportion to the amount each person has paid. This margin would be a profit to a private business. But whether you student owners want to call your rebates profit or savings, it's still money in your book budget.
The sales stubs should be worth at least 10 per cent of their face value, judging from the records of other book stores, the manager says. And since there is no rule against transferring them, be careful of speculators trying to enhance their own budgets by buying up receipts at five cents on the dollar.
With the expected volume of business, refunds may total as much as $3,000 a semester. You can get your share by presenting your cash register stubs any July or January for at least two years after the date of your purchase.-A.B.
Not One Word
The rejuvenated Dove contained one item which hinted that the editors of the campus pamphlet had access to inside information usually denied the average newspaper reader by tight-lipped and highly prejudiced publishers.
The Dove's expose was something about the editor of Reader's Digest being in league with the Nazis, which, they implied, just goes to show how the poor American reading public is kept in the dark. What's more, they tied on the clincher:
"NOT ONE WORD APPEARED IN THE DAILY KANSAN."
See? The Daily Kansan is in league with the editor of the Reader's Digest, the Chicago Tribune, and Joseph Goebbels in a foul conspiracy to pull the wool over the eyes of the unsuspecting American citizen and pave the way for world conquest.
--and critic, was fined $1,000 by the New York Court of Special Sessions; where his book, "Memoirs of Hecate County," was judged obscene. However:
Absurd as it sounds, that's just about what the article implied. Such implication is easy—want to see? Just watch.

NOT ONE WORD APPEARED IN THE DOVE.
It's clear, isn't it? The Dove said nothing about the fine because they think obscene literature is swell. What's more, the thinking reader can figure that future issues of the Dove, if the foul-minded editors were given their way, would be even more obscene than "Memoirs of Hecate County."
See how easy it is? And how absurd? But no more absurd than to imply that the Daily Kansan is shielding the Reader's Digest. We're inclined to believe that the article in question was written hurriedly to fill an empty space, so that Dove subscribers would get their nickles' worth.
If that's all it was, we'll forget it. And you, Dove editors, can forget this, too.
But (sigh) you probably won't.

The same year, the Sig Alphs raided the Chi O house, beat off the fair defenders of the sorority treasures and gathered up bridge lamps, silverware, pillows, and clothing along with a few of the more tenacious women. They didn't go far with their loot, however. They just strewed it around in the Chi O yard and in the streets.
Scanty Stealer Has Gained Place In Annals Of K.U. Crime Oddities
The case of the "panty piliferer" seems to be unique in the history of thievery at the state university.
In 1932, police were called to the Delta Upsilon house to investigate the theft of a small Oriental rug which was valued at $150. The rug, however, was resting in its usual place when police arrived; and although the housemother said she suspected who had turned in the false report, fraternity members preferred to make no comment.
In the early thirties, when the depression was beginning to hit the Midwest, one gang of fraternity and sorority house robbers accumulated more than $2,500 worth of loot—bill-folds, clothing, jewelry, cash—before they were caught.
No State Of Brooklyn
The lad who wrote the letter entitled "Kansens Only" must have been taken in by one of those foreigners from Brooklyn. Whatever the Brooklynites may say, Brooklyn is still only a borough of the city of New York and has not yet been recognized as a state.
In 1943, when pictures of the "brave, bold men" were at a premium, the Alpha Delta Pi pledge class stole all the actives' pictures and held them for ransom. The money gained financed a party.
In May, 1945, Corbin hall lost a crate of bananas when town children sneaked into the basement. two consequent days and got away with every banana, stalk and all No stomach aches were reported, so it was assumed that a large group of children were involved in the juvenile ring.
A check through Daily Kansan files fails to find even one similar case in K.U. history. The lingerie looter has established himself in the K.U. Krime Klub if only by the thorough- ness of his workmanship.
William Tucker Dean Jr. Ass't Professor of Law
Most of the robberies in K.U. history may be divided into two classes: those done for material gain and those done for sport. The person with a penchant for panties is unclassified as yet—at least, until the missing articles show up.
Largest single loss in a Hill robbery was in 1399 when someone (never apprehended, according to newspaper stories) stole a $2.400 mink coat from the Sigma Chi fraternity house during the homecoming reception.
One type of robbery cannot be classified as either just a job pulled for gain or just a job pulled for pleasure.
Students' complaints during finals week always say that while finals may mean the end of a semester and the end of a lot of work, they also may mean the end of the student.
Jaytalking --with loving cups stolen from other organized houses. Certainly the robber gains because the beauty of his mantelpiece is enhanced, and certainly it's fun hearing screams of anguish as a huge cup engraved with "Ping-Pong Champion" goes out the door.
President Truman's budget, when printed, was the heaviest on record. It remains to be seen how much weight it will carry with the 80th congress.
The only trouble with insurance is that the rich man who doesn't need it can afford and the poor man who needs it can't afford it.
That is the now time-honored custom of decorating a mantel piece
The "panty purloiner" is becoming a serious problem to University women, and we think that it's time somebody did something about that panty waste.
Still, the briefs burglar is at large,
Unless he makes a misstep, no one
will ever know just what prompted him. Maybe it's love of publicity.

Russell Wiley has returned to the campus after a trip to Garden City. He spent Wednesday as guest conductor of the Garden City league festival in which 400 high school band students from Marion City and surrounding territory participated.
He directed three rehearsal sessions of the league band, and the band presented a concert under his direction, to an audience of 1000.
City Kotary club on School Music. In his absence from two morning rehearsals of the K.U. band, student conductors Leo Horacek, Frank Stalzer, and Clarence Mills substituted.
