Grand Jury Wonders What Happened to $450,000
Kansas City, Mo., March 18—(UP)—A federal grand jury seeking to learn what happened to $430,000 in impounded insurance funds recalled six insurance company executives for further question today.
The grand jury has been told that the money at one time was in the possession of the late Charles R Street, as trustee. The estate of Street, who died early in 1933, doused what disposal was made e $ the funds.
Maurice M. Milligan, U. S. district attorney, said after a conference with the insurance executives that they had agreed that $450,000 went to Street. What Street did with the money, Milligan said, was as much a mystery to the insurance men as to the grand jury.
Basketball Squad Nominates

Following the banque being given the basketball squad tonight by the Co-op, club, the queen will be chosen and her identity will be kept secret until she is introduced at the varsity Friday night.
New Radio Equipment Speeds Police Service
The only drawback to this system was that everybody listening in would follow the call thus bringing large crowds to the scene of the crime. Another undesirable feature is that people may be informed of the location and could travel in the opposite direction.
The setting of the play was a midwestern town in the fall of 1866. The young lady of the family wanted to go to college. She asked permission of her parents who were shocked with such an idea. The father said, "I willer there will not be two girls there?" Mary took them home and put them on 28 girls and 29 boys in the first enrollment at the University. Thus she got to come as one of the first students at the University.

Women dressed in bustles, long skirts, and high-topped shoes shipped ten yesterday afternoon in observance of coming seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the University.
Chicago was the first city in the country to have a police radio hook-up. In 1929 the Chicago Police department contracted Radio Station WGN to broadcast special police bulletins to the squars cars which were equipped with broadband-band receivers. The desk service center was controlled by a leased telephone circuit When an important call came in, a bell would ring over the radio and the call would be sent.
Bustles and Long Skirts Return in Economics Skit
Rv Bill Mills
"Calling car 12 . . . Make an investigation. . . That is all." Such is a typical quotation from the desk sergeant or radio operator of the majority of our large city police departments.
The dining room of the home economics department, where tea was served, once was used as the old University library. Yesterday the university hall had large posters giving facts early days at the University were
Police radio in the last two years has become a necessity rather than a luxury. The "modern criminal" has naturally followed the modern-day trend by using high speed transportation and other quick means of escape from a "job". Radio was put into service to fight the crafty thief and the results obtained have been generally satisfactory.
The members of the Home Economics Club, sponsored by Miss Olga Heesly, assistant instructor of home economics, planned an unusual program for their regular meeting. A play, "The Family Conference" was given by Isabel West, c'4; Mauro Gray, c'4; Helen Garrett, c'4; and Martha Study, c'39. It was written by two members of the club, Muriel Johnn, c'40 and Joy Durell, c'uml.

Shortly afterwards radio com­ponies began to develop short wave communication for police cars. Dallas, Texas (station KF1) was the first city to have the short wave in squadrats. Shortly afterwards the Michigan State Police developed a very efficient system in which the main transmitter covered the whole state.
The city police here in Lawrence installed their first radio station in December. As proof of its ability a car thief was apprehended in 6 minutes after the car was reported stolen. The local system is of the more modern type having a two-way system instead of the usual transmitter and receiver type that has been so popular.

With the two-way system, the squad car has direct communication with the station. The frequency is located on the radio band in such a way that the criminals could not pick up the calls. The station has a coverage of 20 miles. It is expected in the next few months that the county will tie its cars in with the system so that the county will have complete coverage.

another poster said, "Our first athletic event with another school was a baseball game with Topeka, K.U. lost 57 to 96." In the first University catalog, French was offered as a course, but it was never taught. Girls desiring to take French were advised to take a course in Greek.
Miss Rosemary Ketcham, professor of design, loaned the exhibit a beautiful black and white tafetta dress with yards of home-made lace trimming. Complete with a little black velvet hat with feathers and a necklace that flares from the old atmosphere. Mildred Messheimer Lindley, c19, wore a tan silk dress with a bustle, that was approximately 75 years old.
Pictures of early economic clubs, antique silver tea pots, and old books, all helped to make the reproduction of earlier days complete.

UNIVERSITY CITY
More than 4,500 young men and women at the prime of life, receptive to the new and different, associate and interact in hundreds of activities from dance to classroom—in a city within a city—on the hill.
They hold hundreds of thousands of dollars at their command to spend in Lawrence . BUT WISELY! A recent survey $ ^{a} $ shows that 93 per cent of men's clothing bought during 1938 was purchased in stores which advertise regularly in the Daily Kansan. The official publication of the University of Kansas is the only medium which reaches ALL students, every day, with a medium of time and expense to the advertiser.
Mr. Merchant, are you receiving your share of business from University City?
