If you see some Sig Alph's riding, around in an ambulance, don't be surprised, because one of the members, Earl Wallingford, now owns one. The ambulance was given to Wallingford by Harold Stollberg Wednesday as payout for his Stoltenberg car that Friday night. It seems that Wallingford is always having automobile accidents so Stoltenberg took the opportunity and presented him with the ambulance which is equipped with a siren to alert him in case the other accessor feeling that the next time Wallingford figures in an accident an ambulance will be at hand.

One woman student yesterday had what was probably her most embarrassing moment of the year. She came out of the men's room on the second floor of West Ad, and seeing a goodly number of students, raised her head trying to look very non-chalant but it was no use, because some were staring at her in an amusement and one was laughing so much that she flushed to blush and it was an exhibition of such heated blushing that those present thought they noticed a rise of temperature in the part of the building.
Tom Highfil was called to the phone yesterday noon and was informed that a lady was calling, so he said "hello" in the most polite and pleasant way possible but he was answered by the words, "Go to H——" and the lady (!?) hung up. Since then he has been presenting his time trying to explain what he told the wrath of the woman, and who the creature is that seems so filled with scorn and contempt.
The hardest hit student on the Hill is an art student. For several days he had been looking out of a window of Green hall and drawing a snow scene of Marvin's grave, but he fell in love with a girl and began spending most of his time with her instead of working on the drawing. Then the romance went on the rocks so he returned to finish the snow scene only to find that there had been a thaw and the snow was gone

Corpulent Cop Causes Curiosity Covering Cash
A flatfoot? A real "detective"? This was one thought, vying with those of spring, in the mind of a hopeful scribe as he hinged around Central Ad yesterday afternoon and observed the movements of "the" man.
Did you notice "him" during peeping time? The corpulent fellow lingering eagle-eyed in and around the Business Office? He was fascinating to observe. About him there was an air of mystery. He apparently was doing nothing. His huge, buggy suit-cont billowed like a wind-filled sail over the sweeping curve of his abdomen. Why was that bulge in his tight pocket? Could it be a scar? His thick-sole shoes were as he sauntered aimer-ly back and forth in the corridor, his loosely-knotted blue necktie flowered over the light sweater under his coat.
The scribe approached as he gazed out upon the south lawn of the Administration building and opened with some naive remark about the "fine spring weather." "Yeah. Alright," was the chatty reply, Warming up to the subject (What subject you might ask) after this encouraging comeback, the newspaper piled him with tactile questions and questions designed to问 him from his interesting information. But he declined to continue his interesting conversation without urging He was a state employee, over from Topeka Did he do detective work all the time? No, sometimes he patrolled in Topeka sometime he did other things. What other things, was the question. But he was not too free with information. He wasn't giving out any secrets with state agencies or protective organizations. He was there to see that no unscrupulous individual purloined the 125,000 some odd dollars that were paid in as fees.
He was talkative but not informative. Well, the scribe was satisfied anyway. He had observed the glint of a gun in the trench when he wasn't any ordinary flatfoot. He was a real, high-class "detective."
Students Will Discuss 'Co-op' Book Store Plan
Council Chooses Forum Date To Consider Subject
Following the action of the Men's Student Council Wednesday evening authorizing a student book store, the free speech division of the M.S.C.-WS.G.A. forum board called a student forum on the subject for Thursday, Feb. 18, at its meeting in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon.
Giving their approval to a reservation also requiring the favorable action of the W.S.G.A., the M.S.C. requested the Union Operating committee to administer a co-operative book store. The board is not in its profits above operating expenses on the basis of purchases.
The free speech division of the forum board, chairmanned by Henry Barker, c38, will await the action of the W.G.A. at its regular meeting next Tuesday before determining the exact subject of the forum or the members of the student panel.
The forum originally called on the subject, "Shall We Have a Student, Book Store?" was to have been posted on Monday and posted until last Tuesday.

Recital by Rachmaninoff Attracts Musicians From Many States
NUMBER 92
The high spot in musical events for the season will occur next Monday evening at 8:20 when Rachmaninoff, one of the greatest names in music, will appear at the University auditorium as the third regular attraction on the University Concert Course.
Rachelmanntin was born at Orne in the government of Novgorod, and early showed musical ability. At the age of nine he entered the St. Peterburg Conservatory. He then三年 later transferred to the Moscow Conservatory, studying first with Tshakovsky's friend Zivirev and afterwards with Siliot, and taking theory and composition with Tanchev and
This recital is creating a stir in musical circles all over this part of the country and tickets have already been ordered from many cities. Nebraska, where he performs by passengers who will drive many miles to hear the recital.
In 1892 he won the gold medal for composition, quitted the conservatory and went on a long concert tour through the cities of Russia. In 1897, after he had already played fame as a conductor at the con-com, he was appointed conductor of the Moscow "Private Opera." His own one-act opera, "Aleko" had already been produced with success at the Moscow Opera and has many pieces, some choral choruses and stage works were beginning to be recognized far and wide.
An invitation from the London Philharmonic Society to appear in the three-fold capacity of composer, conductor and pianist, afforded Rachmaninov his first great success outside of Russia, and his performance here established him immediately as no longer a Russian but an international artist. His first symphony was played at a concert of the Royal Philharmonic Society in 1909, Arthur Nikisch conducting.
The story of his career since those debits as composer, pianist and conductor, has been one of cumulative success in all three, and when he made his American debut in 1969, he already occupied the very distinguished position he holds today in the music world.

Haste or Consideration?
There is, however, a difference between efficiently but speedily examining all angles of a situation before passing judgment on it, and rushing through with only a cursory glance.
The majority of students will agree that the University of Kansas needs a co-operative book store, and that the sooner one is established the better.
The latter is the procedure followed in the case of the book store plan in the Men's Student Council.
It was not until this morning that one of the members of the committee even heard of the resolution which was passed with little consideration by the Council. It was, in fact, practically railroaded through.
However, the committee as a whole had not yet made a final decision on any of the suggested plans, when the resolution to establish a book store under control of the Union Operating Committee was introduced into the Men's Student Council by Phillips last night.
practically railroaded through. The plan, as approved, has its good and its bad points, one of the chief drawbacks being that although the Union Operating Committee is nominally a student operated affair, the student governing associations have no means of controlling its actions, and the very essence of a co-operative book store is that the students have a voice in its operation.

The matter will soon come before the W.S.G.A. for their approval, and it is hoped that they will at least give the plan a closer scrutiny before making their decision one way or another.
Kiwanis Hears Chancellor Speak of Many Needs Both Here and in Kansas City
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in a talk before the Kiwi club later day, expressed his appreciation to the volunteer student delegation which conferred with the ways and means committees of the legislatures this year.
"The student delegation made the job of the officials in presenting the needs of the institution much easier," the Chancellor said.
"They did a good job," he was assured by Senator Denions.
"The statements of these young folk were appreciated by the legislators, who realize the development of youth is important in considering affairs of the University," said Chancellor Lindley.

"We have the lowest salary schedule of any state among 22 recently surveyed. This presents a major problem when the necessity arises for us to go into the market for additional teaching talent.
"The University services primarily the young, but in various ways the whole public. Of our students, 28 per cent are self-supporting, and there is a larger proportion of them than any other group on the honor roll."
If we had all that the Regents agree is now needed, it would be $10,000,000," he said. "We have had a building holiday for 10 years. The only buildings added have been gifts. We need five more buildings on the campus to serve our present needs. The equipment in many of our buildings is growing indebted. It is a gift of our better high schools have better equipment in various departments than some of our state schools.

Disappearing Beer Bill Baffles Student Lobbyists In Kansas Capitol
By the Kavanah's Topkha Correspondent
A delegation of about twenty students journeyed to Topeka yesterday afternoon equipped with duck calls and a stun gun against the bone-dry bill. The lobbyists found no trace of the beer bill, having to content themselves with a discussion of birdwedge control in the House and a debate that not even eloquent understood.
The delegation entered the Senate gallery as the second reading of Senate Joint Resolution No. 11 was started. The president suggested that an emergency be declared and a vote taken, with a third-fourth of the Senators evidently missed the excitation, as they appeared to be sleeping peacefully, feet on desks One of the Senators read into the record a telegram from one of the senators, in apparent apprehension for sewing lace on the Senators' panties (see Kansas senate proceedings, Feb. 11).
Finding no trace of the beer bill in the house, the delegation left, still in search of the bill. Someone approached a venerable pensioner behind a desk labeled "Information and assistance" on the tablecabes of the beer bill. "How?" screamed the sooth-sayer, cupping an ear.
"The beer bill!" shouted the delegate. "Where is it?"

"How should I know? If I had my way, I'd run a saloon."
