Fanny mail: 'Mention was made in the local daily not long ago of the Hill Casanova, a student of the pharmacy school . . . and his name was omitted. The members of the Broken Heart Club don't want him to feel she is unfairly or inappropriate girls who have not had the opportunity of knowing this young galant. Gals, his monkier is none other than the 'Billy Nite'. . . or the 'Singing Casanova.' You must observe every precaution
That final week of finals is finally here to finish us. The test book manufacturers are happy, the teachers are happy, George, the policeman, is happy, the birds are happy, the psychology rats are happy, but woe is us. We'll be happy when it is over, and that's final.

McCay Shot Accidentally
Allen Dean McCoy, c'4L, was accidentally shot in the left hip yesterday evening when a 30-40 Krag rifle was accidentally discharged in a room adjoining his in the Acacia fraternity house.
The shot passed through a partition and a dresser, and shattered the button on McCoy's hip pocket as it tore into the flesh. It lodged to the left of the sacrum, the lower part of the spine.
Hospital authorities reported there was no organic injury and that his condition was satisfactory.
The gun was owned by William Marsh, 1345 Kentucky street, who had taken it to the house in an ef- fendable trade a trade with one of the boys there.
The 30-40 Krag is an old Spain arm rifle using a high-power cartridge. Fortunately, the gun was loaded with a reloaded shell in which it had been loaded with a standard shell, the shot would have been far more powerful, probably effecting a more serious injury.

Chancellor Endorses Benefit Ball
Faculty and Students Are Urged To Attend; Funds Will Be Used To Fight Polio
"I am glad to command to students and faculty the support of the President's ball, designed to provide funds for the care, throughout the country, of infantile paralysis victims. With a little expenditure from many persons, the Foundation will continue its work successfully and in time to exterminate this dread disease.
"I feel confident that the faculty and students will show their interest in this great movement by supporting the President's ball." Signed, E. H. Lindley, Chancellor
The proceeds from this ball will go to the new foundation in its fight against the dreaded disease, infantile paralysis. The new foundation is a newly created organization, fashioned after a plan submitted by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. The foundation itself is non-political and the money it receives will be spent in furthering the fight by doctors, chemists and others in perfecting machinery to fight the disease. Money will be sent to communities where't will do the most good.
In the past the money has been divided and part kept at home and spent by a committee composed of a banker, a doctor, and an accountant in helping victims of the disease. The other part was sent to the Warm Springs Foundation at Warm Springs, Ga. However, under the new setup the whole amount will go to the New Foundation and be distributed by it to communities and centers where the disease strikes.
Tickets are now on sale at the Business office and will be offered for sale in each organized fraternity house. The tickets may also be obtained from these committeemen: Bill Coner, c'38; Bill Ferguson, c'39; Blaine Grimes, c'39; Clark Howerton, c'39; Ted North, c'38; Bralp Wire, c'41; C. H.

Chicago, Jan. 18—(UP) —J. Eldgar Hoover, chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrived at St. Paul Minn., tonight on a secret mission in connection with the kidnaping of Jesse Miss, Chicago valentine manufacturer.
Chief Arrives At St. Paul
Hover told a reporter for the St Paul News that he had brought with him Peter Anders, who confessed to her that she had been extorting ransom from his family.
New York, Jan. 18—(UPI)—Time,
Inc., issued a statement tonight saying that the Chicago board of censors has prohibited the showing of the latest March of Time in "The Cable Issue," Inside Nale Germany, 1938.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation chief merely answered "Yes when asked if Anders was with him the chief of the St. Paul office had at first denied that Andés was in St Paul.
Time, Inc., said that the Chicago ban is on the grounds that the film is unfriendly to the German government and likely to create public reflection against a nation with which the United States maintains friendly relations.
Censors Ban 'March of Time'
Today the film figured in a controversy in which Dr. Hama Borchers, German consul-general, issued a statement branding as "deliberate misrepresentation" a statement that he has asked elimination of some scenes.
The ban will be appealed, Louis D. Rochmont, producer of March of Time, telegraphed the Chicago board. The message added, "The March of Time has endeavored to present a documentative journalistic account of facts and conditions in Germany today in an objective manner. We have studiously avoided sensation-alism and checked facts."
Chautemps Forms Cabinet
Paris, Jan. 18—(UP)—Chauntets tonight ended five stormy days in which France was without a government, by forming a cabinet composed solely of members of his own party.
There was strong indication that the cabinet would not be supported by the Socialists, and the Communists already had repudiated it. Chauntes' position was made more insecure because he still carries the deep hatred of Communists. Many observers doubted the Chauntes' new government, confined to Radical Socialists, could last against the opposition of the Papal Front. They believed it might be merely a transitional government seeking to cope with the dangerous social and economic crisis until a coalition government could be obtained.
Hyainacine, Quebec, Jan. 18—(UP) Seventeen bodies of children and priests lay on improvised morgue slabs tonight when firemen, priests and volunteer Workers injured the Colbert dormitory, seeking 27 others believed trapped when fire destroyed the building.
Below his main title, Mr. Page has written, "A Book for Men, with a Subtitle for Women," which leads, in a sequence of short paragraphs, to men fight in Europe or Asia?"
Among the bodies recovered were those of two priests, one of whom was Father Jean Baptiste, 64-year-old instructor at the college. Two other priests were among the 20 injured, and three were missing.
Seventeen Die in Dorm Fire
Kirby Page, well-known Christian writer and worker, has sent several copies of his latest book, *Inspiration*. He also edited a range of University students.

College

For Students Qualified
For High Caliber Work
In Sociology
The students may enroll in two to five hours of the course in any one semester, and must complete with high schoolship six out of a possible eight hours of work. The course will be directed by members of the sociology faculty, and class attendance in the course is not an essential part. Enrollment in the junior year is preferable.
{Policy Adopted a Year Ago}
Dean Paul B. Lawson commended the course, saying it was in line with the policy of the College faculty, adopted a year ago. The department of English several years ago offered a course, "Honors English," and instructed students in the policy of the department of political science has offered its honors course
The College faculty approved also the request of the department of Latin and Greek to change its course in the history of Roman literature from the freshman-sophomore group to the junior-non senior group. Five hours of literature in any language is the prerequisite. Dean Lawson commended this course as being of value to any student of literature.
Few Changes in Prerequisites
The administrative committee reported its action in making changes mostly in, in prerequisites for courses in several departments.
Request of the department o physical education, in the School of Education, that certain of its courses mostly in the theory of athletics, be recognized for credit by students registered in the College. The report was referred to the administrative committee for study and report.
Re-organization of the physical education department last year, with some of its courses moved into the freshman-sophomore group, and consequent changing of hours in courses and prerequisites, made it necessary to make a new study of these courses can be taken for College credit.
In this connection, Dean Lawson said that for several years a number of physical education courses had been recognized for College credit, and he said that a number of outstanding Kansas athletes, who have participated in college coaches, had majored in some College department and had taken the physical education courses that aided their coaching work.
Dean Lawson spoke briefly on a problem that is expected to come before the April meeting of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools, namely, that of "recruiting." "Recruiting," Dean Lawson said, is taken by the high schools to include the undue inducements athletic and also the efforts of some institutions to gain for themselves high school students of outstanding scholarship.

Committee Hears Parking Protests
Meeting Reveals Fact that Students Do Not Know Campus Driving Regulations
The most obvious revelation of the meeting last night of the joint M.S.C.-W.S.G.A. parking committee was the fact that University students are not acquainted with the Campus parking regulations.
The fact than more than 150 tickets for parking violations were issued during this semester is an indication of ignorance of parking requirements; student indifference is shown by the fact that less than 15 violators appeared before the parking committee in its meetings last night and Monday night to discuss their charges.
Less Than Fifteen Appear
Despite the absence of a rushing business, the few cases which the committee was called upon to decide about were too many. Information regarding the parking problem.
Either through lack of adequate publicity or because of an indifferent attitude on the part of student drivers, it evidently has not become generally known that in a bill in the constitutions of both the Women's Self Governing Association and the Men's Student Council, it is provided that "no student of the University of Kansas who does not possess a driver license" and that "the parking committee . . . shall be permitted to park his car on any drive, avenue or street of the Campus or in the restricted parking sections between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., except Saturdays and Sundays."
The most frequent violation encountered among the students who protested fines was parking for "a few minutes" to go into the library. Another prevalent mistake was a parking in the wrong zone when running to make a request to the committee that had automobile "dipped" into the wrong zone once at the time the Campus was covered by ice.
Fines Charged to Fees
Many of the students had legitimate reasons, in the opinion of the committee, and their fines were reduced and in some cases dismissed.
Fines for those who did not appear before the committee, and those assessed last night, will be charged on the fees for the second semester.
The parking committee in all of he cases considered the possibility that the violator might not have crown the exact parking regulations. One student was discovered who thought that a doctor's statement, certifying physical disability, was necessary in obtaining a license.
"While there is an order of preference to be followed by the committee in granting licenses," said Don Hanen, 138, chairman, "only very few applications were turned down, and those only when the preference requirements would have placed them in zone 4 (behind Marin ball) on them walk as great a distance to drive as if they did not drive."
Hamen said an attempt would be made to hold regular meetings, possibly once a month, of the parking committee next semester.
Other members of the committee are: Joyce Vetter, fa 39; Ruth Olive Brown, c'40; Harriet Stephens, c'40; and Frank Lock, c'38; and Frank Harwell, c'38.
(Editor's note: A complete list of parking regulations will be printed in the first issue of the Kansan for the second semester.)
Adrian Lindsey Will Coach Jayhawk Baseball Team
The Jayhawk baseball team will be coached this year by Adrian Lindsey, head football coach. The Jayhawkers will open their 14-game schedule with Kauai State University. Baseball practice will start as soon as weather conditions permit, Lindsey stated.
Fire Disrupts Telephone Service at University
A fire, caused by the burning of a small quantity of crankcase off, disrupted telephone service on the Campus yesterday morning.
The oil ignited a corner of a burn at 1125 New Jersey street belonging to B. P. Thornton. The fire caused the telephone communication wires to be sweered, putting the University phones out of commission.
