George 'The Cop' Snyder Retired
George Popular Guardian Gets Gift
George the Cop, occasionally known as George Snyder, was retired yesterday as Hill policeman, a position he held for 11 years.
George has reached the University retirement age of 65 years, and will be succeeded by A. D. Schick, who was on duty this morning at George's old stand in front of Robinson gymnasium.
The popular Hill law-enforcer has been a friend to thousands of students who have come and gone at the University, and a tangible evidence of student regard for George was shown in the $50 farewell gift presented to him yesterday noon. The gift was collected from students, faculty members, and members of the department of buildings and grounds.
Another gift fund is being established by workers in organized houses, and this fund will be combined with contributions placed in boxes set up in the Memorial Union building.

Find Hatchet
Retire $5,000 On Stadium
A hatchet, evidently a memento of George Washington's inauguration, bearing the inscription "Washington President U.S.—Inaugurated April 30, 1789," was found recently in an attic at 1023 Pennsylvania street, by Otto Schott. The hatchet is painted red, white, and blue, and has a bust of Washington on the head.
Schott is of the opinion that it might have been a novelty molding at the time when Washington was sworn into office. He intends to keep it as an antique. "It's a cinch that it wasn't the one that he used to cut down the cherry tree," said Schott, "It's too dull for that."
Retirement of $5,000 in Memorial stadium bonds and payment of $2,720 interest on remaining issues was announced yesterday by the University Physical Education corporation.
Karl Klooz, corporation treasurer, made the payment of $7,720 to the Lawrence National bank, trustee, and announced that the retirement reduced the total indebtedness of the stadium to $123,000.

To Open Fifth Co-op House
After laying preliminary plans and sounding out student opinion on the matter, the University of Kansas Student Housing Association has decided to establish another cooperative house, a fifth unit similar to the association's present houses, the Jayhawk, Rock Chalk, John Moore, and Kaw Koettes co-ops.
The new house will be opened at the first of next semester if sufficient applications are received to fill it. It will be operated under the same principles as the existing cooperatives. The men will elect their own officers and do their own housework.
Monthly expenses for board, room, and house social functions at the co-op houses last year averaged $17.50 a person each month, but have risen to approximately $19 this year.
The K.U. News bureau wants a number of representative snapshots of fraternity and sorority life at the University, formal and informal.
If you have any prints of such a nature and would care to have them used, submit them to K. W. Davidson, director of the news bureau. Indoor or outdoor scenes will be considered, and those used will be purchased.
University men interested in living in a cooperative house next semester should contact Carroll Clawson, president of the Jayhawk Co-op; Harry O'Kane, Y.M.C.A. secretary; or Hilden Gibson, assistant professor of political science, room 106 Frank Strong hall, for further information and application blanks before Christmas vacation.

Peale Says Religion Is Healing
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale offered a three-point formula for effective living to an all-University Convocation audience estimated at 2,500 in Hoch auditorium this morning. Four hundred visiting ministers and their wives were guests.
The convocation was held in observance of Christian Emphasis Week, sponsored by the Student Christian Federation and the University. Station KFKU broadcasted the program for the radio audience and high school assemblies.
'Have Faith'
Believing in oneself, recognizing the therapeutic value of Christianity, and practicing the technique of faith taught by Christianity, were three points Doctor Peale stressed in his formula for living a happy, peaceful life. "Long, hard work is also essential," he said.
In his capacity as a technical adviser to Warner brothers for the motion picture "One Foot in Heaven," Dr. Peale interviewed leading stars of the screen, finding them simple and genuine, with a deep love for their work and an unshakable belief in themselves.
Continuing his emphasis on the importance of self-confidence, the minister of the oldest Protestant church in the United States asserted that next to Christ, Will Shakespeare had the greatest insight into human nature because he realized man's greatness and his potential strength.
The medicinal or healing quality of religion, Peale declared, gives peace, inflexibility, and relieves the prevailing disease of tension. In the psychiatric clinic in his church Doctor Peale has predominantly cases of fear in persons under 30 years of age.
