With the appointment of new justices tonight by the All-Student Council, the Student court will again assume its leading role in campus government. The court is composed of six associate justices and one chief justice. The associate justices are nominated by the president of the A.-S.C. in consultation with the faculty advisory committee and approved by the A.-S.C. The chief justice is chosen by the faculty of the School of Law. The person chosen is usually one high in scholastic standing and of no political affiliations. The selection of justices must be such that both men and women are represented and at least two members are enrolled in the School of Law. The court, then called the Student Supreme court, was organized in 1936 to handle cases previously under the jurisdiction of the Men's Student council. At that time the governing body was strictly in the hands of men students. Two justices were appointed by the Progressive Students Governing League, composed of independent men, and two by Pachacamac, composed of Greek men. The four justices then appointed the chief justice. Last spring the judiciary bill was amended to provide for the larger group. The first case before the court was the throwing of a tear gas bomb at a peace mobilization in April, 1936. A man student who was charged with the throwing, was absolved of all blame after a month's controversy. After that, traffic cases occupied most of the court's time. In January, 1937, a student was charged with striking another because of a decision in an intramural basketball game. Later in the year six students and one former student were fined and put on strict probation as penalty for raiding the Kansas State college campus. A student who was found smoking in the lobby of Watson library in 1942 was suspended for 30 days by the court. On December 18, 1942, a mass meeting of students was held to protest the short Christmas holidays. The trial of six student leaders of the demonstration was one of the high spots of the court's history. The first items on the docket for the new court will probably be trials of traffic violators. After the fifth offense, students must take their parking tickets before the court. Fines or suspension from school may be the punishments assigned. R.T.K. Bell Tower Receives $500 In Hopkins Will A $500 contribution in memory of one of the first advocates of a memorial campanile for the University campus will be turned over to the World War II Memorial association within a few months, John Brand, attorney for the will of E. M. Hopkins, late professor emeritus of the University, announced today. The donation, provided for in Professor Hopkins' will, is in memory of his wife who, he said, "long cherished the idea of a bell tower on the University campus." The contribution was first set aside in 1938, to be used in the construction of the proposed Pioneer Memorial bell tower. Because that project was never carried through, the donation has been shifted to the fund for the World War II Memorial. Statewide Activities Committee Chosen Dwight Deay, recently appointed chairman of the statewide activities committee by the traditions committee of the A.S.C. has appointed committee members. They are: Anne Scott, Pratt; Betsey Sheidley, Kansas City; George Robb, McPherson; Paul Warner, Chanute; Virginia Daucherty, Tulsa; Carolyn Nigg, Whitewater; Eugene Jones, Wichita; Robert Bock, Macksville; Elizabeth Evans, Winfield; Arthur Partridge, Coffeyville; and Joan Happy, Ottawa. Faculty members on the advisory council are Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association; Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College; L.C. Woodruff, professor of ontology; Herman B. Chubb, professor of political science; Harold G. Barr, instructor of religion; and Raymond Nichols, executive secretary. 40 per cent of all homes have no bathtubs or showers. A K.U. student was a witness of the airplane crash which killed three persons at Drexel, Mo., Sunday afternoon. He is Wayne Neal, College freshman, 1717 Indiana. Student Witnesses Airplane Crash One of the victims was E. C. Robinson, 31, Clinton, Mo., nephew of Mrs. Lisle Eby, 1720 Indiana. Mrs. Eby's daughter, Jane Eby, College senior, is now enrolled at the University. Water color paintings and preliminary sketches by Prof. Joseph M. Kellogg of the architectural department are on exhibit this week on the fifth floor of Marvin hall. The plane, carrying three passengers, caught fire in the air and dived from 150 feet. Other victims were David Wilson, 25, Louisburg, and the pilot, Gordon Bigum, 24, Deepwater, Mo. Paintings were made last summer while Professor Kellogg was on a tour of the east coast. The exhibit is open to students and the public.
