on the SHIN by Don Hays
Ye Shimster does not mind the sluggish slush of a certain Campus Opinionist who evidently has been skilted in getting his name in the daily rug column and feels hurt about it. Living up to our old adage, "It's A 'Shir' To Tell A Lie," we take this opportunity to express our gratitude for our constructive and offer the Campus grouch a chance to write the column so that we will have a model to work from.
There is no fool equal to the Shinster, who every moment ventures his soul!!

In an informal indictment which will be revised by Don Hansen, 3rd I, M.S.C. law school representative, before presentation to the court, the Men's Student Council named the following men:
Penalty Could Vary
Conviction on the charges may result in penalties ranging from monetary fine to deduction of credit in the University with a possible maximum penalty of suspension or expulsion by a judge. The statement by Sam Mellinger, 3rd l., a justice on the Student Supreme court.
The indictment, drawn up last night in the regular meeting of the M.S.C., charges the five students with violation of a pact established between Kansas University and Kansas State College in 1922 to prevent school fighters and pre-game activities between the two schools."
The men were apprehended while painting on the Kansas State campus on the night of Nov. 9, and were returned to Lawrence after spending a night in the Manhattan jail. Two other participants, not University students, are not included in the M.S. CIndement.
Deans Arrange Return
