200. " Khim said, "but the business office will not accept such an expenditure and the small size of the office to estimate a higher charge for the dace."
Jack Townsend explained the disadvantages of a midwestern college booking agency such as was used last year.
(The agency in operation last year included the University, Oklahoma University and Nebraska University and was successful in obtaining Bob Crosby's band for the Senior Cakewalk here.)
"The difficulty lies in the inability of the dance management of the schools to work together," Townsend said. "Each school will contact a teacher with the town authority, reschedule a test and the affair will become one bit mixup."
“When three schools contact a band,” Townsend declared, “the band's agents immediately see that you are confident the chance to raise their price.”
Townsend said he had talked with Bill Cochrane, manager of the Union building last year, who expressed the opinion that such an agency does not adequately solve the problem of booking "name" for a liability rather than an asset as far as the University is concerned.
Townsend said Crosby's agents raised their regular rate $200 for the three engagements which included the Cakewalk here and that the University was forced to pay $50 of that amount.

Hoover in Jovial Mood As He Sails for New York
Southampton, March 23. (UP) — Former President Herbert Hoover sailed on the Normandy for New York today with a wristwatch on his lips.
"What are your plans?" a reporter asked.
"I plan to stay on the Normandis until she reaches New York," was the reply.
As Hoover and his companion on his European tour, Paul Smith, general manager of the San Francisco Chronicle, waited in London's Waterloo station for the boat train to start they saw on the platform Virginia Venn, 11, whose brother Mickey works for the Chronicle. Hoover jumped down and handed blushing, awed Virginia something which she first thought was a package of chewing gum.
It was a three-penny (six-cent) pencil sharpener.

Remember Old Rip, the Horned Toad? Cornerstone Exit Was Decade Ago
Eastland, Texas, March 23—(UP)
Old Rip, the Eastland horned frog
that was supposed to have spent 31
years sealed in a cement cornerstone,
is back in the news.
Old Rip stirred the imagination of the land after he presumably spent nearly a third of a century in a tomb and emerged alive. It was 10 years ago this year that he made his exit from the cement block. The anniversary was cause for a civic celebration.
Was the story of a horned frog sleeping 31 years a myth or fact? Froar or Rin Van Winkle?
Reliable authorities relate that in 1897 the cornerstone of the court-house was to be laid. Ernest Wood, county clerk, started from his home to attend the ceremonies. He noticed his son playing with a horned frog. He picked up the frog and continued to town.
Arriving at the scene, he turned the frog over to a friend who, he says, actually deposited the frog in the cornerstone. Other witnesses attest this
In 1928 the courthouse had been condemned to make way for a larger one. Destruction was to start a week after Fail 10.
The story of Old Rip was recalled. The news was circulated. The West Texas tradition that a horned frog can live 100 years without food or water stirred interest. Approximately 1500 persons were at the courthouse corner on Feb, 17, 1928, to witness the results of Old Rip's adventure.
The Rev. F. E. Singleton, who was standing inside the cornerstone, invaded a finger and said: "Thank you for your service."
The cornerstone was lifted. It was opened.
Eugene Day thrust his hand into the cavity and lifted out a flat, discovered toth which he handed to the minister. The pastor handed it to him. $^{3}$ Proclaimed would it aloft by a leg that all might see. Suddenly the other hind leg twitched; the frog was alive. The crowd cheered.
Surpasses Rip
Old Rip had surpassed the achievement of the original Rip Van Winkle who had slanted 20 years.
His fame spread across the nation He went on a tour. At the St. Louis
Religion Commissions Meet Friday in Pine Room
The  Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A. Reinterpretation of Religion joint commission will meet Friday at 4:30 eclope on Tuesday at the Memorial Union building.
The Rev. Carter Harrison of the Episcopal Church will lead the discussion on "Some of the Political Interpretations of Jesus' Teachings
The Rev. Joseph F. King of the Congregational Church has led the last three meetings in discussions of the political, economic, and social background out of which Jesus came. For the next three meetings he will discuss the discussions of these aspects in the teachings of Jesus.
Evelyn Brubaker, c'39, and Don DeFord, c'unel, are chairmen of the commission.
True or false, the story of Old Rip created wide interest. Even in Eirland, opinion is divided. Perhaps the question was well summed up by an old farmer who witnessed the disen-tombment;
Zoological Gardens 40,000 persons passed in one day to see Old Rip in his goldfish bowl. The bottom was covered with a layer of sand and leaves into which he could burrow, but he could not. He froze to death in his bowl where he was quartered in a back porch of his master's home.
Today Old Rip lies in the lobby of the new courthouse in a concrete casket lined with satin.
"I know it happened because I saw it; I knew it didn't happen because it just doesn't make sense."
A talk on "Civil Service and Trained Personnel in Government" will be given by Mrs. George Beal in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building at 4:30 this afternoon.
This address will feature the last of a series of round table discussions for women students who are interested in the principles of government.

Meal. Beal will answer the question of "What happens to government employees when the party in power changes?" The talk will be followed by an open forum conference on the subject.
The series of talks is sponsored by the Lawrence League of Women Voters.
