Veterans' Subsistence Checks Will Arrive Wednesday, Dr. Elbel Promises Hopefully
Some government subsistence checks for veterans are being delayed because of a tie-up in the Kansas City disbursing office, Dr. E. R. Elbel, head of the University veterans affairs office, reported today.
Dr. Elbel has talked with the voting chief of the Kansas City branch of the Veterans administration, and learned that the latest time promised for the subsistence checks now is Wednesday.
"I expect we'll get this mix-up cleared up before long," he said, "There's been too long a delay now, but perhaps after this first month, the procedure will get ironed out so the veterans won't have to wait for their money."
Prizes To Be Given Correspondents
Prizes will be given at the end of the year for the best home-town reporting, Dwight Deay, general chairman of the Student Statewide Activity commission, announced at a meeting Wednesday in the Kansas room of the Union. First prize will be $50; second $25; third $15; and 5 each for the next three places.
Correspondents will keep scrapbooks of articles sent to the hometown papers throughout the year, and they will be judged next spring by the All Student council on the merits of skill and interest shown. Virginia Daugherty is chairman of student correspondents.
A separate organization will be formed consisting of one student for each county, Mr. Deay said. Names of these county chairmen will be announced soon.
Meetings will be held every two weeks. A dance is being planned.
New Program Starts On KFKU Tonight

State Fire Marshal Inspects University
University buildings, residence halls, and sorority and fraternity houses are under inspection today by a state deputy fire marshal.
The marshal will check fire extinguishers and fire escapes and make recommendations for improvement of safety conditions. The University will make a follow-up check later to determine whether the recommendations have been carried out.
A few more subscriptions for the next four issues will also go on sale then Terry Herriott, editor, announced. There are also a few copies of the first issue available. Subscribers have been asked to get their copies the first day as they will not be held over.
This check does not replace the check on fraternity houses planned by the Inter-Fraternity council, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, said. The fraternity check will be made later to be sure unsafe conditions have been corrected.

Two Students Dismissed For Illegal Ticket Sale
Two students have been dismissed from the University on charges of "scalping" and illegally re-selling tickets to the K.U.-Oklahoma football game, Dean Henry Werner announced today.
One was charged with re-selling a football ticket at a price higher than originally quoted—a federal offense since it violates the internal revenue code on federal tax—and the other was charged with keeping a ticket turned in to him as a gateman, and reselling it for his personal gain.
The men were:
Paul C. Box, sophomore in the School of Engineering and Architecture. He is 23 years old, a veteran, and lived at the Sunflower dormitories. His home is Kansas City, Mo.
Dale W. Fields, freshman in the College. He is 24 years old, a veteran, and lived at 923 Ohio street. His home is McPherson.
E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, had arranged for private investigators—"plain clothes men"—to watch the ticket gates Saturday. It was they who apprehended the students. Both students were on duty as gatekeepers.
The investigators found no positive evidence of other irregularities, but Mr. Quigley said today that he felt that "more than two have been involved during the year."
"We are going to take all possible precautions against a repetition of this during the basketball season," he added.
Up She Goes
A classroom isn't exactly the place you'd expect to find a University professor playing with a balloon, but sometimes, of course, it's necessary for "educational purposes only" Prof. A. W. Davidson, of the chemistry department, shows here a good technique for proving the lifting power of hydrogen, with which the balloon is filled. (Daily Kansan staff photo by Richard Kesler.)
