Yes, it is true that the girls mentioned as truckers in Wednesday's column were called into the office of the adviser to women for a consultation on "truckin". And from all reports the dean did not know a lot about truckin', she perceived that it was a little demonstrable to let both sides in the conversation. The result of the interview should end forever the rumor that Miss Meguiar is out to stop this steal from Harlem. And for the first time in the history of the school, the SHIN is coming out with the statement that the dean does not understand and has made known her wish that it be a good time that it be. It seems that she really like to paint her as a rascal, she really understands a lot of things.
"To the & 'x''!@@@ of the Shim: I feel that it is of general interest to the readers of your column to know that I am not overweight, and that my interests are those of the students. I shall find it necessary to sue you for libel, slander, and gross duty of duty. Gene Lloyd."
Letters to the Shin:
We stand corrected on the first point and thank you for confirming the second. Please write often.

Lindley Lauds Pharmacy Work
Chancellor E. H. Lindley spoke yesterday at the weekly Colloquy of the Pharmacy school in the Pharmacy lecture room at 11:30 a.m.
"A young man can go into the prescription department of a drug store and get a good education by reading books on how to treat him. The tradition and history connected with drugs adds to the fascination of the field," said Chancellor Lindley, who had experience as a young man in his father's drug store.
"Most successful men in a learned profession are not interested in the money side of business and strive to make their services wider. Many doctors would not send bills if they were not for the fact that they need an income to live on themselves," the Chancellor continued.
The Chancellor congratulated the students upon their entrance into what he termed a "semi-learned profession."
The Chancellor ended his address by congratulating the students on the start that they are making on the road to a professional career and upon the increased enrollment that has been gained in the School of Pharmacy over last year's enrollment.

According to one member of Delta Upson, "We had nothing but good recommendations from the Northwestern chapter where Charlie lived for several years while working Bergen's way through school there. We heard that he wasn't very sharp and durability have been有 plenty. Delta Upson for over a hundred years and most of them turned out pretty well."
McCarthy said in accepting the pledge button, "Well, there are a few boys that I don't like very well but I still want to be a good boy. All, I'm just a chip off the old block."

The city is entirely calm and business is being carried on in the mids of thousands of dugouts which have been used to pop the population from explosives.
Camouflage anti-aircraft batteries are scattered over the city and Chinese planes are maintaining a constant patrol overhead.

'Ghosts' Fry While Haunted House Burns
By JOE COCHRANE and 'FLASH' MORRIS Kansas Fire Eaters
The "haunted house" is no more. This famous student rendezvous was last night destroyed by fire which began at approximately 8:30 in one of the rooms on the upper story of the 17-room stone mansion of the '60's, and was still burning when the Kanans went to press.
A. E. Bocurman, farmer residing one-half mile north, reported seeing a small flame in a northeast corner room, but imagining it to be on a unusual picnic fire paddled little away. It be noticed the flame growing larger.
Place Unoccupied
The house is located approximately a mile north and a mile west of the Lawrence Country Club. It has been unoccupied for several years and is believed to be owned by a Kansas City realty company.
When the Kansan representatives arrived at the scene last night the fire department had not yet been called.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E Daniels, who live two miles south of the house, who were at the scene of the fire, expressed deep regret that "the old house must go." The Daniels said further that "other persons did not appreciate the beauty and his beauty."

Frosh Lineup Uncertain
Meanwhile Freak Coach Ralph Conger is undecided on his starters because of the short time he has had for practice. He will be able to put a team on the field that will easily outweigh the varsity but lack of experience and teamwork will count heavily against it. Conger has done well on both ends, however, and they may put up more of a battle than is expected.
The fresh starters will probably be picked from the following who have been showing up well in practice:
