Nine Men Fined Put On Probation For Sorority Raid
Nine students from three different fraternities have admitted "complexity" in the Nov. 22 raids on the Kappa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega sororites, Dean Henry Werner announced today.
Of these students, eight came in voluntarily with no promise of any immunity.
Purpose of the raid on the Theta house, the dean said, was to place in the furnace a chemical which would generate hydrogen sulphide—the odor of rotten eggs.
Finding they could not get into the furnace room, the raiders went to the roof to throw the chemical through the trap door. They failed to place the chemical in the building, although their efforts to break open the door caused considerable damage.
Some of the raiders proceeded to the Chi Omega house, where they broke in through the fire escape on the upper floor. The hydrogen sulphide agent had been lost, so the students turned over and put into operation a fire extinguisher on the landing.
"In view of the senseless and immature attitude displayed by these students in carrying out this raid," Dean Werner said, "the office dean of student affairs announces the following penalties:
ONE Payment by the group of all damages involved in both houses between $75 and $100.
"TWO A fine of $10 on each of the nine participants; the money so collected to go to the World Student Service fund.
"THREE Each member of the group is placed on conduct probation for the remainder of his University career. Such probation is considered void and the offender is suspended from the University if he becomes guilty of conduct unbecoming a gentleman or brings, by any act of his, discredit and unfavorable publicity on the University."
Geltch Will Give Recital Tonight
Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin, will present his annual recital at 8 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Professor Geltch, who came to the University in 1922, was formerly a student at the Klindworth Scharwenka conservatory in Berlin. He also has studied violin under such internationally known teachers as Sauret, Susin, and Leopold Auer.
250 Vets Checks At K.U. Office
The program, which is open to the public, will include sonatas from Beethoven and Mozart.
More than 250 subsistence checks are now available in the University veteran's service office, E. R. Elbel, director, said today.
Most of the checks are for those men who had difficulty getting their addresses sent to the regional office, and whose checks were delivered to the University office last month. he added.
The names of men whose checks wait for them is posted on a bulletin board in the basement of Frank Strong hall.
'Anything Can Happen By Next Year'
Missouri Game 'Probably' Evans' Los
Scoring two touchdowns and passing for the third against the Missouri Tigers Thursday, Ray Evans put the finishing touches on what is probably his last football game for Kansas although as he explains, "anything can happen between now and next year."
"As far as I know now," Evans said, "I'll graduate in June and the Missouri game probably is my last. I haven't yet made a definite decision but my football career seems to be ended."
The K.U. football captain has one more season of eligibility, but he also will be eligible to graduate in the spring.
The mild-mannered Kansas City product has finished his ninth year of football competition and believes this year has been the best of all.
Ray isn't interested in professional football although he admits that "they certainly make it attractive."
"I've never played with a better bunch of fellows." he said. "They have a spirit which makes them the best team you could expect to be with. They get along swell together
Ray doesn't say much about himself and attributes much of his ability to luck and the fact that there are 10 other men on the team. In referring to his spectacular 84-yard touchdown run in the Missouri game, Evans made it sound easy.
and thats what will make the Jayhawkers a winning outfit in years to come."
"I dropped back to pass and couldn't find a receiver so I just run," he explained. "The Missouri team had been coached to expect me to run around its left end so when I saw several players around that end, I cut to mv left, picked up my blocking, and ran as hard as I could."
As for the 40-yard pass that he tossed to Marvin Small, Evans didn't know Small had caught the ball until he saw the end streaking across the goal line.
"I was knocked down on the play," he said, "and didn't know the pass had connected until I got up and saw Marvin in the end zone. The pass was intended for him and I guess we're lucky it was O. K."
Events considers Otto Schnellbach-
"that guy can catch anything he can touch," he said. "I'm not taking anything away from any of the other ends, but I believe Schnellbacher tops them all."
Ray also gives much credit to the performance of the Jayhawker line in describing the success of the Kansas team which he has led this season.
er the best end he has ever seen when it comes to catching passes.
"With Fambrough and Hugh Johnson in there along with Ettinger and Crawford," he said, "we haven't had a thing to worry about all season. To be as light as they are they've certainly come through with a fine record."
In fact one of the main reasons why Evans hates to quit playing football is because he will have to leave the group which makes up the Javawkar sound.
"I start thinking about leaving those guys," he reflected, "and I think that's going to be the most difficult part of the whole thing."
It would be safe to say that the Jayhawkers are going to hate losing Ray Evans, too.
Players Say Team Has Broken Up; Sauer To Coach All Star Game
The question of whether the University Jayhawkers will play in a post-season football "bowl" game will be decided at an athletic faculty board meeting Thursday, E. C. Quigley, director of intercollegiate athletics, told the Daily Kansan today.
"We have had several bids," Mr. Quigley declared. "Any decision on whether we play and where we would play—if we play at all—will have to wait until this weekend."
Meanwhile, the championship grid team had broken up and wasn't even anticipating any more football this fall, several of its players declared. Coach George Sauer, already committed to coaching the West squad in the annual East-West game in San Francisco on New Year's day, has speaking engagements throughout the state until he leaves for that job.
The campus was basking in delayed glory today—after 16 years of waiting for a piece of the Big Six football title. The last time it came to Mt. Oread was in 1930, when coincidentally, the Jayhawkers lost to Nebraska, just as they did this year.
There was little prospect of a walkout from classes such as has marked previous notable football victories. The University administration worked out a "non-aggression" pact with the All Student council and the Inter-Fraternity council before last week's game with Missouri, and apparently there was no organized leadership for any demonstration today.
UP Names Evans 'Most Valuable'
Ray Evans was named the "Most Valuable Back" of the 1946 Big Six season by the United Press poll of coaches and sportswriters.
Evans, captain of the Kansas eleven, made his final grid bow in the K.U.-M.U. game in which he scored two touchdowns and passed for another.
Only one type of "walkout" took place today.
In the Union fountain, the nickelodeon went on a strike of its own to celebrate the Big Six co-championship and pay tribute to the unbeatable spirit of the Jayhawk eleven which had carried it through a rugged season.
Students putting their nickels in the slot got only one number from the striking juke box. The number was "Invictus," which starts:
"Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole.
Union Stages Own Walkout
"I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul."
Pittsburgh. (UP)—Fuel shortages resulting from the strike of United Mine Workers dragged industrial production still lower today and a cold wave sweeping across the nation aggravated already heavy demands on shrinking coal reserves.
Rail, Steel Men Idle As Coal Strike Hits
Unemployment edged past the 115,000 mark, exclusive of the striking miners, but industrialists present cutbacks and layoffs were but a drop in the bucket compared with the imminent results of a continued strike.
Hardest hit were transportation and steel with 19,000 railroad workers and more than 70,000 steel workers idle.
In New York, the society of restauranteurs reported that the strike-enforced dimout was cutting business so that increased prices may be necessary.
Coal supplies in retail yards at Denver were exhausted completely. All schools were closed, business schedules cut, and many homes were without coal.

Victory Dance At 8 Tonight
A victory dance and celebration will be held from 8 to 11 tonight in the Military Science building, Jean Fisher, dance manager, announced today. Music will be furnished by Eddie Dix and his band.
John Moorhead, master of ceremonies, will open the rally and celebration at 10 p.m. At that time a trophy will be presented by Howard Engleman, president of the All Student Council, to Ray Evans, captain of the football team. Evans also will present the football used in the Missouri game to George Sauer, football coach. The football will carry autographs of the members of the football team. All members of the team will be present.
The dance is open to everyone who wishes to attend, stag or drag, Fisher said.
Closing hours will be extended until 12:30 p.m., the adviser of women's office has announced.
University Reinstates Jimmy Green Painter
The student who was suspended for attempting to paint the statue of Jimmy Green has been back in school for several weeks, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said today.
The student, whose name Dean Werner did not release, was reinstated in the University after a suspension of one week.
