Dick Bibler And The 'Little Man On Campus' Are Back For Another Year Of Laughs
DICK BIBLER, THE LITTLE MAN'S DADDY
Bibler, a Fine Arts major, is considered the best college cartoonist in the country. A collection of his "L.M.O.C." cartoons was published last spring and found its way all over the country.
The "Little Man on Campus" and his creator, Dick Bibler, former Yank cartoonist, are ready to go on another year of fun-poking the students and faculty at the University.
However, Bibler's "L.M.O.C." hasn't gotten as far away as his old haunts of cartooning when he was working for Yank's Pacific edition on an outpost island with the army airways communication system. He
spent three years in the Pacific, and in addition to Yank, Midpacifican, army daily published in Hawaii, and Brief, air force magazine, used his cartoons
Bibler was born in Elkhart in 1922 and his first cartoon was published in the Wichita Eagle several years before he went into the service. After that a long period of "frequent and discouraging" rejection slips followed.
Bibler was chosen as staff cartoonist for the University Daily Kansan as the result of a contest held early the past spring. His work was adjudged the best by an unanimous decision after the judges inspected more than 40 entries.
Trucking Strike Halts Textbook Shipments
L. E. Woolley, manager of the Student Cooperative Book store, reported his supply of new books is limited, and the New York shipment won't come until at least 10 days after strike settlement, "whenever that is."
But even if Mr. Woolley had the supply, it would be impossible for him to sell books himself—he was taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital Wednesday, where he is now underaing treatment.
At Rowlands, C. W. Nuffer revealed that books for 8,000 students are on the shelves.
KU. students won't worry about standing in line for new books if trucking strikes, which have blocked New York City book shipments since Sept. 3, aren't settled soon, according to University book dealers.
No Regard for Time
South Bend, Ind. (UP)—Pigeons throw the clocks atop the South Bend courthouse off time late each afternoon. Custodian Everett H. Barrett is about ready to give up trying to keep-the clocks on time—or get himself a rifle. Sometimes the pigeons stop the clocks when they roost on the hands, while other times a pigeon on the hand either slows or speeds the clock, depending on whether the hand is going up or coming down.
He explained that the supply, which was ordered early in spring, might run short if enrollment continues to increase and after his stock is depleted, no new books will be available until strikers reach a settlement. Trucking strikes affect parcel post deliveries also.

Let Left-handers Stay That Way, Doctor Says
New York, (UP)—If your child was left-handed when he starts to school, make certain he's still a south-daw when he returns home.
Don't let teacher convert him into a dextro-sinstrad.
Library Sets Record
Reflecting the University summer session's record enrollment, withdrawals of books from Watson library reached 20,598 in July or an increase of 120 per cent over July of 1945. C.M.Baker, director of libraries, announced today.
Dr. James F. Bender, Manhattan psychologist, estimated today that 30 per cent of the nation's children
A dextro-sinistrad is a natural left-hander who has been pushed, or coaxed, into using his right.
are born preferentially left-handed.
But—through interference by parents or teachers—only about 5 per cent grow up still southwaws.
"It's a right-handed world at present." Bender admitted. "But great harm may be done in forcing such a switch."
Monument Trout Poisoned
Salt Lake City. (UP)—Dog poisoners are fairly common, but Salt Lake City police are now searching for a new-type poisoner.
The U.S. bought the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1916.
Poisoned grain sprinkled in the famed Seagull Monument on the Salt Lake Mormon Temple Square killed 10 trout. The trout had been placed in the pool after goldfish there had been eaten by seagulls—the same birds honored by the monument for saving early pioneer farms by eating invading crickets.
