Meade Discusses Banking Charges At Open Meeting
Additional Fees Introduced in New Code, Explained at C. of C. Luncheon
"The cost of maintaining banks has gone up, and the revenue returned has gone down," said I. J. Meade, vice president of the Lawrence National Bank, at an open meeting of the Chamber of Commerce today. "This is the reason," he said, "for the adoption of the bankers code which so directly affects citizens and students of the city of Lawrence."
The meeting was conducted by the bankers of Lawrence in order to explain to their customers the workings of the code which went into effect in Lawrence Monday.
All accounts of less than $50 are charged 50 cents a month and allowed five checks with only the 2 cent federal tax. All over five checks are charged additional 3 cents or a total of 5 cents for each check over five. Accounts of over $50 are analyzed according to their earning power, which is set at 30c for each $100 a month, with the requirement that $50 must be maintained as a minimum maintenance account. One free check for every $50 per average balance over $50 is allowed.
Three New Fees
The new fees are a 3 cent check charge, a 3 cent charge for ledger entries, a 1 cent local clearing house charge, and a 5 cent charge for handling out-of-town checks. For an average bank account of $300 the figuring is done as follows: subtract $00 as the maintenance charge leaving $250 on which to earn the 30 cents per $100; the money then earns 75 cents. One cent each, one clearing house charge at 1 cent, two out-of-town checks at 5 cents each, and six checks over the quota at 3 cents each; then the account would cost the bank 35 cents, leaving them a profit of 40 cents on the account.
On out of town checks for non-deposit a charge of 10 cents on $25 checks, 15 cents on $50 checks, 25 cents on $100 checks. For each additional $100 will be made.
"The reason for this charge, Mr Meade said is because of the expense in sending checks to the clearing houses and then back to the original bank."
Counter checks, although they avoid the federal tax, carry a 3 cent local tax. The federal tax is to be collected by the local banks, and they must see that the tax actually to the National Government. This federal tax will terminate午1. 1935.
Analysis Fee on All Accounts
An average balance is arrived at by listing each account each night and adding each up at the end of the month and dividing by the number of banking days included in that month. There is no charge made on an account if no activity is recorded against it. You cannot make a deposit without charge, a three cent ledger charge being checked up instead as an analysis fee. You cannot make these charges, but all government checks and state checks, (which include University checks), money orders, and travelers checks are exempt.
For all stop-payment accounts 25 cents for each check and additional 25 cents every 90 days until the check is rescinded will be charged. There is a 25 cent charge for overdrafts, and 25 cent charge on each账 written write there. There are three bears no charge, because they can be exchanged at the clearing house in Kansas City without charge for their actual value.

University's First Graduate Started Entomology Collection, Now Notable
The collection is made up of 140 specimens, mostly beetles, including cockroaches, walking sticks, a paper wasp nest, a number of scarabs, which are the Entomology club emblem, and several silk worm cocoons. It was the custom at that time to send for silk worm eggs on cards. The moths and butterflies which were part of the collection have been destroyed as no precaution was taken to preserve them.
The first student ontological collection has been found in the attic of an old house near Lawrence. The collection which was made by Fiona Richardson Coleman as part of the class work in 1872, was given to Milton Sanderson,ger. who has remonet it and presented it to the University. The collection is now on display in room 320 Snow hall.
Flora Richardson Coleman was a member of the first graduating class *o*'
Engel Appointed Adviser On Sound Film Council

Twente Speaks in Topeka
School Problems Discussed at Kansas Legislative Council Meeting
J. W. Twente, professor of education, was one of the principal speakers at a meeting of the Kansas legislative council in Topeka which discussed yesterday, the plight of the public schools of the state. The council is faced with three problems. Professor Twente said: the refinancing of the schools systems to give every boy and girl adequate school facilities and instruction; the redistricting of the state to eliminate schools with negligibly small enrollments; and the examination and certification of teachers.
YOUTHIS FINED ON CHARGES
OF ASSAULT AND BATTERY
Professor Twente said that several interesting plans were presented. A sales tax, the proceeds of which would be given to the schools, was suggested. A proposed division of state income tax for school purposes and a plan for the collection of smaller taxes for educational purposes was offered to the council. The council also sought a plan which would call for the adoption of uniform requirements for teachers seeking grants of teacher's certificates.
Jack Harris and Andy Tanner, Lawn-
wren youths, were found guilty of assault and battery and fined $7.50 each in the court of Justice of the Peace Charles A. Springer, later afternoon after a fight against them by Ambrose Wolken, c 35.
Wolken asserted that the two men attacked him as he alighted from a car in front of the Alpha Kappa Psi house Monday evening. Two University girls had driven him from Richmond, his home, to Lawrence in Harris' car, which they had borrowed to go to Ottawa on a shopping tour.

ted Collecting Early
Started Conceiving Early
Coleman was a student of Dr. F.H. Snow, member of the first faculty and later chancellor. Her collection is evidence of the early teaching of entomology. The empirical biological work had been in progress since the foundation of the institution in 1866. Dr. Snow was a remarkably energetic teacher and student of the natural sciences, exerting much influence in the early establishment of the sciences in the University, especially in the field of entomology. He encouraged all students to add specimens to the insect cabinets, and in this way the University collection became extensive.
The entomology collection, since its first beginning by Dr. Snow and Mrs. Coleman, was increased by exchanging specimens and by expeditions which were made through the summer until the collection today is one of the most complete of new world insects in connection with any university in America. There are one-half million insects in the collection, including 16,000 type specimens. Practically all orders are represented.
Entomological expeditions have been curtailed temporarily, during recent years though Prof. H. B. Hungerford, head of the entomology department, and Prof. R. H. Beamer, assistant professor of entomology, collect insects each summer in various parts of the country. The first expedition, which was taken to
