Lawyers Moreau Explains Lawyers' Status And Procedure
A statement to clarify rumors as to the requirements for entrance and for the amount of time necessary to secure degrees from the School of Law was issued today by F. J. Moreau, dean of the school.
Under the new ruling of the supreme court, a candidate for admission to the bar from now on until further notice must offer both the collegiate and the law degrees for admission to the bar. No mention is made as to how the degrees must be obtained and the matter is left entirely to the University of Kansas.
"Under the new ruling of the Supreme Court, a candidate for admission to the bar from now until further notice, must offer two degrees, the collegiate and the law degrees. The rule makes no mention however as to how these degrees must be obtained, save that the matter is left entirely up to the University of Kansas to decide. Accordingly, candidates can comply with the Court's rule by offering both degrees obtained under the combined degree plan. Hence, people planning to practice law in Kansas, now having the 94 hours required by the College under this plan, are eligible for the first year of law at the end of which the College will confer the A.B. degree as in the past.
Complete details as to how the degrees may be acquired are explained in the statement issued today by Dean Moreau. The statement follows:
It is my understanding too that regular college students are entitled to take up to 20 hours of professional credit on the A.B. degree. Hence, candidates for the regular A.B. degree in the College, having 104 hours or so in the College could take the remaining 20 hours in the Law School. This plan probably has advantages over the combined degree plan in that it admits of even more background, and enables the student to finish in just about the same time.
Under present plans the Law School will offer a fifteen weeks session this summer. Under this arrangement students will be able to complete the six semesters of law in two calendar years. Students entering this February will be able to complete the work in February, 1944. Students entering June 2, will be able to finish in June, 1944, etc. This, coupled with the enlarged summer session in the College should enable a person to obtain both the A.B. and LL.B. degrees in a little more than four years.

Shortage Hits Student No Thumbers
Not the least of the sufferers from the present rubber shortage will be the college hitch-hiker.
Shortage of rubber means shortage of tires, and the lack of tires in turn means a distinct decrease in the number of automobiles traveling the nation's thoroughfares. With traveling salesmen and friendly tourists a thing of the past, the student thumber is likely to become from all responsibility equally extinct.
Bus and railroad companies will flourish, but pity the poor students. Coins formerly spent for tuition, movies, and cigarettes must now be hoarded to pay the costs of transportation at vacation times.
During the past few years hitchhiking has blossomed on the campuses of the country until it has become to all appearances a big business enterprise. In at least two states associations have been formed to aid such thumbers.
from all responsibility in case of accidents. A Texas group has even gone so far as to place benches for hitch-hikers on the outskirts of all the principal cities of the state.
These organizations furnish the way-farer with stickers, advice, and identification cards releasing drivers
Journalists Attend Editors' Conference
Five faculty members of the University department of journalism attended the fifttih annual convention of the Kansas Press association in Wichita, Friday, Jan. 23. They were Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, L. N. Flint, K. W. Davidson, T. C. Ryther, and Verdun R. Daste.
At the convention plaques were awarded to winners in the Kansas Press association better newspaper contests. Mr. Beth judged these contest. Governor Payne H. Ratner gave a speech "Kansas and the War Effort," at the annual dinner Friday evening.
With the temporary passing of the college thumber goes one of the most colorful sights along the nation's highways. Bedecked like a Christmas tree—freshman cap and all—his toothy smile was a plea that few motorists could resist. Undoubtedly he will be missed.
But its only temporary. Let the cars start rolling again, and you find him once again dotting the roads from California to Maine.
On the way to Wichita the delegates stopped at the Emporia Gazette office to visit William Allen White and went through the Gazette plant.

Red Cross Fund Gets $380.47
The student Red Cross drive has already received $380.47 toward the goal of $500, with many houses still to report.

promptly, and effectively, than the men."
Top contribution to date was made by Gamma Phi Beta, $60. The Theta's and Delta Gamma's are giving up desserts for one month making the D. G. contribution $48.16, while the Theta's will be figured at the end of the month.
The independent student drive including the Jay Jane campus canvass and boxes in the library and Frank Strong adds up to $86. Independent organized houses who have made generous donations are: Miller hall, $18.05; Watkins hall, $12.05; Battenfeld hall, $15.00; and Kaw Koettes, $18.25. Prof. Hilden R. Gibson's Social Science Survey class gave $24.15.
"The cooperative houses have cooperated the best," Prof. Buehler said. "All have already reported and given generously. And I'd like to express my appreciation for the women, both sorority and independent, who have responded so much more
The faculty drive is over the top with five dollars more than the $800 goal received from the faculty and university employees.
Students Still Can Enroll in Reading Improvement Course
The course offers no credit but is considered as an excellent step toward a better study technique and the formation of better study habits.
Bert A. Nash, professor of education, stated today that there is still time for those students who haven't announced to him their intentions of enrolling in the reading improvement course to do so.
A $2 laboratory fee is charged for the course in reading improvement. Applicants are to see Prof. Nash in his office, 18 Fraser basement, before the end of the enrollment period on Feb. 3.
