Nip Sting In No Smoke Penalties
By Roscoe Born, c'41
Smoke-law violation became a less serious offense last night when Men's Student Councillen unanimously approved a moderate scale of punishment for offenders.
The new law, proposed two weeks ago, instructs the Student Court to fine first offenders from 2 to $5-second offenders from $5 to $10, and to expel a third offender for the remainder of the semester.
To Meet With Aggies
In response to an invitation from student councilmen at Kansas State, M.S.C. president C. H. Mullen, '14, last night appointed four other councilmen to attend a peace banquet at Manhattan.
The banquet will probably be held March 16 or March 30, Mullen said, depending on the date most agreeable to State's council.
Ed Page, l'40, John Oakson, c'40, Russell Mosser, c'40, and Brewster Powers, e'40, were appointed by Mullen to accompany him to the peace parley.
Favor Physical Exams
Mullen said he hoped the banquet would result in a K-State truce to end brawls which seem to have become a part of the annual State football game.
The Council went on record as favoring compulsory physical examinations for all persons handling food served to University students. The resolution explained that present requirements did not include the to independent students. Such an examination would be offered free by the University Health Service and unless each boarding club filled requirements, the club would not receive University approval.
