MSC Passes Bill Covering Mass Action
A bill concerning mass demonstrations had its final reading and passage before the MSC yesterday after noon, Vernon McKale, president, announced. He added that the bill, which is printed in full below, applies only to cases in the future.
The bill passed unanimously and was signed by McKale; attested by Bob Coleman, secretary; and approved by Chancellor Deane W. Malott yesterday afternoon. It will go into effect after publication as a legal notice, according to the MSC constitution.
The bill had its first reading Dec
21, 1942, and the second, Jan. 4, 1943.
Divided into four sections, the bill provides for the following:
Section 1: That unreasonable violent, or abusive mass demonstrations directed against any member or members of the Administration of this University shall be illegal.
Section 2: That the perpetrators and leaders of such demonstrations in the future shall be prosecuted by a committee appointed by the Men's Student Council before the Student Court.
Section 3: That this Court shall assess against the leaders and perpetrators of such demonstrations what penalty it deems fit, which penalty may include fines, suspension of privileges, and recommendation of loss of credit hours and expulsion from the University.
Section 4: That this bill shall be in full force and effect from and after its publication according to the Constitution.
Sports Interest Evidenced
Women seem to be taking interest in intramural sports this year. Participation in intramurals by women at the University of Texas jumped 42 percent above the 1941 levels.
Increase In Engineers
A 15 per cent increase in engineering students and a similar decrease in liberal arts students at Lafayette college is reported by Dr. William M. Smith, registrar.
Jayhawk Nursery Funds Rise
Interest among the organized houses in the University's drive to gain funds for the Jayhawk Nursery is at a high pitch, according to reports from members of the local "Save the Children" committee.
The fraternities are responding beyond expectations, and no house has turned the committee down, Henry Werner, adviser of men, reports. "Interest is evidently higher than last year. The amounts being received are very substantial," Mr. Werner asserted yesterday.
Fraternities which have signified their intention of giving to the nursery are Beta Theta Pi, Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, and Delta Upsilon.
"I feel quite pleased with the way in which the women are responding. Apparently, they are fully aware of the importance of the nursery," Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women stated.
Various plans are being devised among the sororites to raise money for the nursery, Miss Meguiar said. The Alpha Omicron Pi's contributed $50—the amount that they saved by sacrificing the engagement of an orchestra for their open house party. Every Gamma Phi Beta has agreed to pledge 50 cents a month to the fund for the spring semester.
Total contributions to the fund stood at $570 yesterday with further receipts flowing in rapidly, Dr. A. J. Mix, chairman of the committee, reports.
Shenk Urges Contestants To Play Tourney Matches
Henry Shenk, director of intramurals, today urged contestants in in the men's singles handball tournament and the singles golf tournament to play their scheduled matches at the earliest possible time.
Shenk pointed out that under the present good weather conditions, every effort should be taken to play matches at an early date next week.
Lockers To Be Cleaned
Miss Ruth Hoover of the department of physical education has asked that all women taking physical education remove from the locker room their clothes and locks during finals and between semesters so that the locker rooms can be cleaned.
Schoeppel Takes Office Tomorrow
Andrew Schoeppel, a student of the University in 1920, will be inaugurated as the governor of Kansas toorrow in Topeka. Before his election to the gubernatorial position, Mr. Schoeppel was chairman of the state corporations committee.
Five other graduates and former students will also take over state offices tomorrow. Hugo T. Weddell, law '20, has been reelected as a supreme court justice. J. T. Parker, law '18, has been elected supreme court justice. He will be in inaugurated into this office after having been the attorney-general. Baldwin Mitchell, law '17, will take over the duties of the attorney-general; he was formerly assistant attorney-general. Walter E. Wilson, fs. '93, will be inaugurated as the reelected state treasurer. W. C. Austin, fs. '95, is also a reelected office holder as the state printer.
Mr. Schoepel's home is in Ness City. While attending the University he lived at 120 W 13th street. He was a member of the University's baseball team, and according to Guy Keeler, director of the Extension Division, who was also on the team at that time. "Schoepel was slow, a good pitcher, and was always used when we were playing a double header."
After World War 1 Schoepel returned to continue his education; but not to the University. He accompanied one of his war buddies to the University of Nebraska where he was graduated from the law school.
Officers of the American Veterinary Medical Association this year include 12 Kansas State College alumni. Two of this number are Kansans.
Mr. Schoeppel had never played football while attending the University; but upon entering Nebraska University, he was persuaded to go out for this sport. At first he played in the backfield; but was soon shifted to end, and at the close of his college career he found himself occupying the berth of all-American end.
K-Stater In Office
Indiana Offers Russian
Indiana University is offering a beginner's course in Russian during their spring semester which began last week. The class meets three hours a week for three hours credit.
Claude W. Hibbard, curator of the museum of vertebrate paleontology, expects to receive for the museum some beaver carcasses, valuable to classroom work.
Museum Receives Beaver Carcasses
The beaver carcasses will be secured through the effort of Guy D. Josserand, director of the Kansas forestry, fish, and game commission. The state is trapping only surplus beaver that are doing excessive damage to trees along streams, or are causing backwater over farmland because of their dams.
These carcasses will be valuable to the University because there are no Kansas beaver skeletons in the collection. These skeletons are large enough to be used in the classroom, as they are better able to illustrate a rodent skeleton than a rat whose bones are extremely small.
Women Attend Inspector's School
Keeper Starrs Training
Cadet Morris R. Keeper, a graduate of the University in 1942, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles E. Keeper, 2421 Washington boulevard, Kansas City,

The commission will trap the beaver along the Kansas river and its tributaries. The beaver pelts are the property of the state.
Keeper Starts Training

At the University of Washington 25 selected women students are spending 40 hours a week in the University machine shops preparing to replace men as checkers of vital war materials, particularly aircraft. The women were selected through the Civil Service commission. They received a salary from the army while attending the school, and will be offered inspector's positions with the air service after graduation. This inspector's school is being sponsored by the war department and the army air force.
