Theta's Report $75 As Raid Damage
"The nine students penalized Monday in connection with the sorority raids have not yet paid their fines and damage expenses." Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said today, "but I expect them to pay the money before the end of the week."
Kappa Alpha Theta has listed its damage at $75, Dean Werner said but Chi Omega has not reported yet.
"There was apparently no cohe- eat reason for the actions of the Nov. 22 raiders," Dean Werner said. "It was not a feud of any standing and there was no indication that it was a fraternity-planned escape. The students seemed to be on their own.
"The University is taking an increasingly serious view of this type of activity and is determined that it shall stop. Consequently, any further demonstration of this nature will subject the participants to the most extreme penalties within the power of the University."

Results of a recent poll of student opinion as to whether a Love and Marriage course should be offered by the University, were announced today by Arthur Partridge and Edward Swain. College students.
"We are a nation of people gifted in many ways, but behind in solving domestic problems." Dr. Wood said.
One of the reasons for this difficulty is failure in the home, he added. As a remedy to the situation he suggested better preparation for university advisers so that they can better aid students who have individual problems, including those of courtship.
According to the poll, 98 per cent of the 1,171 men and women who voted, favor a course in Love and Marriage, and 95 per cent want credit for it. That the course be required was indicated by 22 per cent.
Dr. Leland F. Wood, of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, and concluding speaker for the Love and Marriage series for the semester, was guest speaker at a recent dinner attended by 37 students and faculty members.
Arthur Partridge, who arranged the lectures, led a round-table discussion on the worth of the series. Dean Paul B. Lawson, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, stated that University officials had been considering such a course for several years, and that one may be offered in the future.
Most of the planning and arranging of the series was done by Partridge, who, while in the Army, decided to do what he could about the national increase in divorces when he returned to K.U.

The Well Dressed Lawyer Must Have
By Bibler
A Cane, Whistle, Wolfish Leer
Those dapper young men strolling along the campus these days with canes crooked over their arms are not Park avenue playbys, they are E.U. law school seniors.
Canes are a tradition with the lawyers but none of this year's class seem to know the exact year of the tradition's origin, according to Gerald Fowlie, senior class president. The tradition was abandoned during the late war and this year's class has revived it.
There was a time when lawyers also wore derbies, some even wore white gloves, but this year's class rejected the revival of the derbies and settled for canes, both plain and fancy ones.
An examination of some of the sticks reveals canes made of yucca wood, mahogany, and thorn wood. Some are highly ornate, etched with elaborate designs and the owners names, but "nothing obstentatious—
"We felt that unless we did something pretty soon, the tradition would go by the boards," Fowlie observed.
Robert Luke sports a cane of thorn wood made especially for him when he was in the service in the Philippines. Luke says he was thinking of the cane tradition when he had the stick made. William Overton carries a cane which he picked up in Mexico.
for lawyers". Fowlie says.
According to Fowlie, nobody in this year's class seems to be quite clear on the tradition's full significance, but it is said to "lend a proper elegance and dignity to the lawyer."
"They won't want to imitate us. And certainly relations have been friendly since last spring."
Cane-carrying is not compulsory, Fowlie says, but most of the seniors have become devoted to their sticks and "would feel lost without them."
He said few lawyers expected any trouble from engineers (whose feud with lawyers has long been another Hill tradition) over the canes.
The tradition is considered 'sacred' by lawyers, according to Fowlie. That and the whistling tradition with which lawyers will brook no tampering. Non-lawyers recently were detected "Mispropriating the lawyer's whistling prerogative," Fowlie says, but "any self-respecting girl can spot a law school whistle from the barbarous offering of the outsider anytime."
The selection committee will consist of Chancellor Deane W. Malott, Frederic Babcock of the Chicago Tribune, and Kennett L. Rawson, head of the editorial department of G. P. Putnam's Sons.
named at the June commencement ceremonies.
"We don't use the canes because we are decrepit, nor do we need them to protect ourselves against the engineers. They are simply a complement to our attire and general appearance," Fowlie explained.
The lawyer clings to his cane as the engineer does to his slide rule and the only time they are separated from their walking sticks is at bed-timet In classrooms, canes are hung over backs of chairs, Fowlie says.
The Carruth Poetry prize, established at K.U. more than 20 years ago, offers a first prize of from $75 to $100 and two smaller prizes. Poetry manuscripts will be judged by Prof. Ray B. West, Prof. John E. Hankins, and Prof. C. K. Hyder, all of the department of English.
Do the sticks have a practical value Definitely. They come in handy for tapping cadence to the footsteps of passing feminity, the senior president admits.
But he went on to correct a suspicious thought with, "no, we don't use the handles to hook the girls—a lawyer can do that with a look and a smile."
The best student essay on applied Christianity will be awarded the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize of $100.
Navy Offers Scholarships

See No Relief For Shortage Of Textbooks

As long as the enrollment figure is up, there will be a shortage in texts, C. W. Nuffer, manager of the Rowland's bookstores, pointed out. Students are short some 5,000 to 6,000 books right now, he said.
