When he reached home he discovered his billfold had been rifled of $4. Friends called the police who took Truxal to Watkins Memorial hospital.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University Health service, said today that the student had not suffered a concussion and that his condition was good, although he still had a bump on his head.
Police said today they had no clues as to the robber's identity, for Truxal caught only a brief glimpse of his attacker.
Truxl is from Great Bend, Kan. He is active in YMCA work, and is president of Westminster Forum.

New Bureau Will Handle All Tickets
In an effort to broaden their services to the students, the Student Union Activities has instituted a new bureau to handle ticket 'sales for all Hill organizations.
The sales will be handled in the Union Activities office in the subbasement of the Memorial Union building.
Pachacamac Frosh Choose Handstein Their Treasurer
"We will be happy to sell tickets for any club, organization, or group on the Hill. All it has to do to secure this service is leave the tickets with us and watch us go to work," said Frank Arnold, chairman of the Public Relations committee and head of the ticket-selling bureau.
Dudley Handstein, freshman independent student, was elected treasurer of the Pachacamac freshman inner circle at a meeting Sunday night at the Sigma Chi house. Handstein, who will fill the vacancy created by Bob Mann, was also appointed to the nominating committee.
Possible candidates for the coming freshman election were discussed, but no nominations were made. Glen Perkins, freshman campaign manager for Pachacamac, said that nominations probably would be made at the next meeting, which will be at the Sigma Chi house at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

NYA Offers Jobs On Buildings
An opportunity for employment in the University building program for students carrying approximately three-fourths of a normal schedule was offered today by the out-of-school employment bureau of the National Youth Administration.
Students who work 100 hours each month may live at the NYA residence center. They will receive medical care, board and room, and $12 a month. All towels, linens, blankets, and other necessities are furnished.
Students who work 80 hours a month will receive $19.20. A new plan has been evolved whereby students may work the number of hours in their leisure time, and not within any specified time during the month as was previously done.
Those interested may contact Marvin Goebel, director of the Men's Student Employment bureau, located in the alumni office, or Raymond Swanson, at the Kansas State Employment service, 201 West Eighth Street.
The out-of-school branch of NYA is not connected with the University.
The government reviewing boards in Washington have approved approximately one-third of the University's requests for priorities on its new Mineral Industries building to date, J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering said today.
Although every decision so far has been favorable, there are still six or eight priority requests yet to be acted upon. Construction work on the building is now impossible because of lack of materials.
Government OK's Requests For Materials Here
Use of the building as a control laboratory for the new $20,000,000 ammonia plant defense project at Pittsburg, Kansas, is the basis of argument favoring approval of the priority requests. The vital part that the building would play in war work is considered by University officials reason enough for its immediate construction.
As no educational buildings are being granted priorities, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has agreed that the new structure should be allocated to defense work during the present emergency. Kenneth S. Spencer, director of the Pittsburg ammonia plant, has requested the University to give him facilities in the building for a control laboratory.
In order to fulfill these defense obligations, the state architect is rushing the preparation of plans. All bids are to specify completion of construction within 12 months. As the control laboratory in the
