R. O.T.C. Inspector Finds Boy Smartter than He ... Voters become Lyrical in SHIN Contest ... Engle calls the Call ... More Joe College Habits Enter University Life ... Senes Turns on Wiles—Boy Loss Bet ... Midland Claims Campus Lads When Honneys Are Abed ... Girls Play Ball and Keep Boys Awake ...
During the recent R.O.T.C. inspection, one of the Sigma Chi boys by the name of Decer decided he knew more than the inspecting officer. After receiving a brief instruction, the meeting settled down into a miniature bull-fest. Decer was asked a question and his answer was corrected by the visiting superior. The would-be soldier then called the visitor down for his correction. He had no idea what to do. Whatever a particularly dirty piece of work had to be done, Decer did it.
A vote that came to the ON THE SHIN beauty contest was original in the way the boy put in his bid.
"Dear Sir," says he, "I haven't time to send in postcards on both sections of the female antennary, so I will write big and big, blue and blue. Figure a in Ginger Rogers. What mouth is pretty without teeth? She has beautiful teeth, mouth and lips. The lips look kissable but the eyes. The lips . . . merlerdyer Dyer gets my vote."
The ballot is counted, but he needn't have become lyrical about it. The contest closes tonight and the winner of the first section—the girl with the most beautiful features—will be announced in Sunday's column. Two dark horkes entered the field yesterday, each have 13 votes. They will overtake the leader?
In the class on community recreation, Ed Elbel decided to have a square舞 each class period for a few times. When Elbel asked who knew how to call such a dance, Dorell Eagle stated he knew how to call hills of Oklahoma that he was considered an expert in those parts. Eagle then gets to call them. He's so good that a large audience is anticipated when the舞ers enter the lists.
The University will go Joe College,
next year if present plans of the bands
are approved. The band will be
removed that the Cottage will have
one in the establishment every day at
lunch and in the afternoon for a tea
and there will have to舞 for their cakes now.

Succulent Rhubarb
Tried and Found Wanting
By Puzzled Laws
To rhubarb or not to rhubarb—that is the question confronting the committee on food for the Low Density
conteen on food for the Law Day banquet. There have been several arguments against it, in fact practically the entire Law School is defended to rubhau, but the fact remains one of the influential members of the committee has a soft and woody weakness for that succulent vegetable. Even he, however, cannot determine when it should be placed on the menu.
Then again there is the question of new peas and potatoes. Somebody's aunt said there could be no lawyer-like banquet without this evil.
The virtues of string beans have beenudered far and near—but, say thelawyers for those in the beans. Allf which practically means that theyre definitely out of the running.
So these brilliant defenders of theaws and Constitution of theUnited States were completely stumped bythe aspect of planning a menu. Any help fromthe home economics departmentwill be greatly appreciated.
Morgenthau Warns Senate To Plug Holes
Says Higher Income Tax Levies Should Not Be Considered Until Law Is Remediated
Washington, D.C., April 30. (UPI)
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who bluntly warned the tax chiefs that the new $803,000 tax bill, that higher taxes on individual income could not cover it, would be plugged.
The tall, genial cabinet officer also cautioned the senate group that the treasury deficit for the 1938 fiscal year was $1.5 trillion and urged amendments to the reeve-
nue set passed by the House yesterday which would raise an additional $380, 100,000 over a three-year period.
Blame for the huge deficit placed squarely on Congress for passing the $2,237,000 soldiers bonus and upon the supreme court for invalidating the AAA by the Treasury secretary. Even before the Congress passed the bonus over President Rosewell's veto it was recalled that Morganhauw appeared before the finance committee and discharged him. The defeat to nearly $61,000 million added the deficit to nearly $61,000 million.
Morgenthan noted that the bill, as passed by the House yesterday, did not include the farm excise taxes recommended by President Roosevelt in a message to Congress on March 3 asketh $1,137,000,000 in additional revenue.
"I call this potential source of additional revenue to your attention again," Morgenthau said. "I assume that you will give most serious consideration to matter of the deficiency in the temporary revenue for a three-year period from the House bill as compared with the President's estimate of the need."

Ethiopian Government Vacates Addis Ababa as Invaders Sweep Across Plains
Addis Ababa, April 30 - (UP) -The Ethiopian imperial government evacuated Addis Ababa tonight after panting runners and refugees found a Red Cross worker who arrived to report Italian campfires were twinkling behind the hills which surround the capital.

All available men in Addis Ababa were rushed into the mountains between the capital and the northern plain in preparations for a last desist. An official from the humanitarian Hope that Ethiopia could hold Addis Ababa was abandoned, when the British Red Cross announced that more than 2,000 Italian infantrymen were deployed to 60 miles from Addis Ababa and on the imperial highway from Desseye.
At most, confusion prevailed.

The reason behind it all is that Ripon palm sells used United States stamps by the pound. From advertisements in newspapers and magazines, the Angeles to Boston been receives inquiries and orders for mixtures, sometimes for pretenders, sometimes for as many as 25 pounds.
By Steven David, c'37
Karl Ruppenthal, c39, has more stamps stored in his basement than all the students on the Hill would receive if they were the value of at least $2000, but they're used.
What is a mixture? It's a lot of user stamps, many of the same kind, and usually on the piece of envelope from which they were torn. Ruppenthal's

Stamps For Sale by the Pound. Are the Unusual Wares of Karl Ruppenthal
States stamps; commemoratives, precensals (stamps cancelled with the name of the city issuing them before they are sold), airlays, revenues, etc. Collectors of the United States buy these mixtures for various reasons—some are looking for stamps of high value which might have slipped into the mixture, others are buying them to sell to stamps and stamps and sell them to dealers and collectors. Some just like to pore over the stamps for the pleasure of it. One pound usually contains about 5000 stamps.

Formal Charge Is Brought by Lane In Bombing Case

Anneberg Will Be Triee by Student Court Next Week; Both Sides To Call Witnesses
A formal complaint charging August Anneberg, c36, with throwing a tear gas bomb at the recent peace mobilization, has been received by Charles Lyons, chief justice of the student supreme court. Lyons said Anneberg probably would be brought to trial some time next week. Logan Lane, chairman of the M.S.C. investigating committee, filled the charge.
A copy of the complaint has also been served upon Anneberg, and he has been asked to send a copy cording to Eddie Rice, secretary of the court. Anneberg has unofficially denied any connection with the offence, but the judge says he will ask him to appear as witnesses.
The bomb has been identified as being the type used at various army summer camps in this vicinity. It was thought at first that it had been stolen from the National Guard armory in Lawrence, but the supply sergeant there said they had no tear gas bombs in storage, and that it must have been taken or at least either the CMT.C.C.M.T camp or the National Guard encampment at Fort Riley.
The trial will be held in the courtroom of Green hall, and will be open to a "limited public." The powers of the court are undefined as yet, but administration officers have assured the jurists that they will back them up in any legitimate punishment. The court also has power over the power of the Men's Student Council, which in the past has exercised a considerable restraint upon the activities of men students. Liquor cases formerly constituted the larger part of the council's legal dock, and fines of $10 were common, coupled with the loss of up to $400 in fines, so that he has the power of expulsion, with the approval of the Chancellor.
Open to a "Limited Public"
The procedure adopted by the court provides for a separate complaint and answer, then for a trial in which both sides shall be represented by counsel, and for a period of consideration of the verdict, the court, before handing down its verdict.
Not Taken From Armory
Rice plans to subpoena a number of material witnesses, he said last night. George Snyer, campus policeman, was near the scene of action, but refused at the time to act without a warrant. Bob Richardson, R.O.T.C. sergeant, was a bystander, and became the subject of a brawl when Clyde Nichols, c38, accused him of being the bomb-maker. The defendant came to Richardson's defense.

Letters Come From Foreigners
Letters Come From E. W.
