The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
A Request, Ladies and Gentlemen . . . Congrats to La Moore . . .
Our Conscientious Mayor . . .
On Benito . . . Thingsa and
Stuffa.
May we take this space to congratulate Louise Moore - single-handed and aided only by a fictional sore throat, that young lady managed, and managed is the only word to use, to go to both the bed and the bathroom with two different dates. We compliment her because she changed the old order . . . she used a sore throat instead of a headache. We understand that the basic reason is that the Phi San's had enough stags to warrant the presence of a beauty queen – and anyway, she knows already at the Phi Gam house, can't say we don't learn something in college.
What's this about Freddy Harris offering to take a bath in the Theta house for only $7.50? Does anyone need one that bad?
Things have come to a pretty pass in our poor city with the way things have been happening at a few of the better places in town where the local degeno goes to work. From what we hear, our new mayor must have forgotten all about developing plates, having your senior picture taken immediately, and any other little details connected to the city that started cleaning up the city in earnest. Of course they all have to make good at the start, but he'll probably see the light, if any, and let the boys study for finals in a condition usually useful for the damned things.
And speaking of final remind—if all our instructors were placed end to end during final week, wouldn't there be a heil of a rush for the nearest hardware store so you could buy you an anse and a gold maxim that fall turn is about fair play?
We thought surely that by this time we, along with everyone else, could start forging all about knitting and take up chain letters in all seriousness but also, Diamond Lil Sand has brought the back subject to lighten, the aid of a foreign Joe now going to classes here under the name of Benito Givanni. It appears on the surface y'understand, that Lil is knitting a tie for young Benito but – Bento has already contracted with Shorty the old chidren and has been turning the joke on somebody else and it probably won't tie right anyway.
Thingsa and Stuffa: We hear that Bill Hazen's folks were a little surprised to hear the rumors started about their youngest son's marriage etc. . . . the straight of it is that the ring was from the local Kress and the dress was from the large brurly skirtdown the street the other day . . . this place is certainly getting full of "Lightheart"—if you know what we mean . . . Comes once more the smarter instructor . . . Prof. Holtzclaw was explaining the ads in a Sears-Roohcchie catalogue. Says he doesn't have 'a court' on page that is open out." He laughed with the rest.
Crop Prices Due to Fal
Kansas State Economists Predict Unsettled Conditions for Kansas Produce
Manhattan, May 6—(UP) Higher wheat prices early in May followed by declines, and lower corn prices were predicted today by Kansas State college economists in an analysis of the May outlook.
The uncertain outlook for 1955 crop production in Kansas makes it desirable to plan for a reasonable acreage in crops which are most likely to succeed in un favorable seasons, such as sorghums, the report advised.
Steady to lower hog prices and steady to higher prices for most grades of cattle and sheep are seen, however, with eggs following the same trend. Unsettled to lower butter prices and steady to lower poultry prices are forecast.

A failing gas supply made the loading advisable.
The wheels were in this position, Richer said, because Bolton was attempting a comparatively safe maneuver on allowed around.
The statement reads:
"We believe the accident can be attributed to the fact that Pilot Bolton, believing his gas supply was getting low, probably deemed it advisable to make a precautionary landing in what he believed to be a clear area, rather than proceed.
"He probably had reasoned that the worst that would happen would be to damage the propeller, since it had been made safely in the past. He probably did not see the road embankment which the plane struck resulting in the regrettable death."
Air line officials pointed out that a "billy landing" might be less hazardous in a plowed field than on wheels.
The Sky Chief was forced down at the time of the crash. Pilot Bolton was seeking an open field to the northeast of Kansas City where dispatches had warned him from landing when he arrived on schedule at 2:56 a.m.
This afternoon, Richier appeared before a coroner's inquiry and testified that 20 gallons of gas cost $157.96 for a 360-square-foot Sky Chief when Ballot it down for a landing.

Senator Bronson Cutting, Republican of New Mexico.
Pilot Bolton, Kansas City.
Co-Pilot Glieson, Kansas City.

The great lawyer, and those who have vice, have been men who were not afraid to set precedent aside in the interests of social and economic development." Governor Landon cited the late Jusuf Nassar as an example, "Holmes," he said, "was on the minority in almost every decision of the Supreme Court until a comparatively recent time, and we revered him for his courage in disregarding precedence or believed such an attitude to be best."
