Strict Regulations to Govern Second Semester Tickets
Activity Book Policy Is Adopted to Avoid All Further Misunderstandings
Activity ticket books for the second semester will have printed inside the front cover the conditions under which the book may be used. Such a policy has been adopted to avoid future misunderstandings. It will not be transferable as a whole nor will the tickets be individually. Penalty for failure to comply with the conditions outlined will be the revoking of the book.
When the student signs for the book he will buy it under these conditions. The number of the activity ticket and the number of books will be registered at the Business office.
The question of the University's right to confiscate activity books came up at the time of the Kansas-Missouri football game at which 30 books were confiscated by the athletic department when they were presented for admittance by persons other than the owners. The result was a replevin suit filed by William Chapple, '13, against Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor, and Henry Werner, men's student adviser and chairman of the activity committee. The suit has since been indefinitely suspended.
Students will find it necessary to agree to three other stipulations when they purchase activity books: first, that lost tickets will not be replaced; second, that unused tickets will not be redeemed; and third, that identification cards shall be carried.
This change in the form of the activity books has been brought about by the new activity committee in an attempt to remedy the difficulties which have been provoked during the last semester in regard to the tickets.
The books will be off the journalism press within a week.
An argument against the legality of the confiscating of activity books for violation of the non-transferable rule has been that any information concerning the status of the books was not printed on the book and consequently signed by the purchaser.
More Will Attend Schools
H. E. Chandler Predicts Larger Enrollments Because of More Leisure
Because of present economic conditions which call for shorter working hours and which give more leisure to older persons, schools will have to be arranged to take care of the older persons, is the opinion expressed by H. E. Chandler, assistant director of the summer session in an interview today.
"In several cities," said Mr. Chandler, "schools have been organized to take care of the unemployed who wish to go on with their education. The schools hire unemployed teachers thus taking care of many people who would be unemployed and who otherwise would have nothing to do."
Mr. Chandler hazarded the estimate that in 10 years 40,000,000 people would be attending schools in the United States because of the shorter working hours which give more people leisure time, chiefly older persons.
The method of teaching in these schools must necessarily be different from that of present schools because the teachers' students will be middle aged or older people.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, 1934
BULLETIN
Washington, D. C., Jan. 11—(UP)— Navy department officials announced that the Trans-Pacific fliers were sighted at 2 p.m. (C.S.T.) from Pearl Harbor, a United States naval base 6 miles west of Honolulu in the Hawaiian Islands.
Six American navy seaplanes carrying 30 men on a mass flight from San Francisco to Hawaii flew out over the Golden Gate yesterday afternoon at 1:22 o'clock.
The American men were beginning the longest mass flight ever attempted, said to be perhaps even more difficult than the mass flight of Gen. Italo Balbo's Italian planes across the Atlantic a few months ago.
The flagship of Lieut. Comm. Knefer, Indianapolis, led the six ships. The planes were in two squadrons of three ships as they passed out of the harbor.
Half a dozen U. S. navy ships, stationed at intervals of 300 miles, were easy to aid any distressed planes.
Artists' Project Quota Is Full, Beal Announces
The Kansas artists' program will include the production of etchings, block prints and water color and oil paint techniques in both architectural and contemporary Kansas scenes.
The artists' project which was instituted recently for the benefit of artists who have been forgotten when codes for other business enterprises were being developed, is a nation-wide enterprise. Professor Beal will seek to improve works throughout the buildings and homes throughout the state of Kansas.
On some of the newer buildings throughout the state, murals may be done, Professor Beal announced. Part of the work of reconstruction and redecoration on Dyce museum will very soon be complete, the recently employed artists, he said.
The quota was filled entirely with unemployed professional artists, and no artists or architects who were enrolled in college. In fact, many of the situations, according to Professor Beal.
Up to the present time, Professor Beal has employed as many artists as possible, but a different program will be presented for remaining unemployed persons.

Purdue Signs NRA Codes to Govern School Industries
Commercial Endeavors Wil Be Brought Into Compliance, Reports President
Washington, D. C., Jan. 11—Purdue University at Lafayette, Ind., today claimed the distinction of being the first state educational institution to comply voluntarily with NRA codes governing industries with which certain of the university's activities compete.
The modified President's Re-em-
agement Agreement governing restaurants
and barber shops also has been signed
by the university because both restaur-
ants and barber shops are part of the
services offered in the student union
A report from President Edward C. Elliott declares the university is now complying with the codes governing creameries and greenhouses, because the university operates a creamery and also a greenhouse on a commercial basis in connection with its School of Agriculture.
In addition to this voluntary NRA compliance, Purdue was one of the first in Indiana to sign the contract for reduction of the wheat acreage 15 per cent as asked by the wheat section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. The institution also expects to sign the AAA contract for corn and hog reduction when it is offered.
"The general policy of the university is to comply with all the codes of the NRA wherever we may be in competition in any way with private industry," was the comment of President Elliott in submitting his report. "We are not in competition because we want to be, because of the nature of the courses of study we give, and in response to public demand for services from Purdue which is supported by state and certain federal funds. Inasmuch as we do engage in certain lines of commercial endeavor we are going to conduct our affairs in the ways that are adjudged essential for recovery.
NUMBER 71
Besides the co-operation with the NRA and AAA, the University also is complying with the Civil Works Administration, and 100 men are being used now in campus improvements which have not been made in the past because of lack of funds.
Raises Grade Requirement
Iowa State Faculty Rules Two Point Average Needed for Education
The change in graduation requirements from 1.5 to 2 quality points adopted by the faculty of Iowa State College last summer forms the basis of the majority of changes in the new official rule book for Iowa State College
Some adjustments will be necessary in the graduation requirements for students who were in college before the new rule was made. The 1.5 average required before the new 2 quality point ruling went into effect along with the new grading system in the fall of 1932. Before that time a grade average of 80 per cent was required. Each of these changes represents a steady rise in grades.
AUTHORIZED PARTIES
Friday, Jan 12
Eligibility standards and similar rules formerly called for averages of 1.5 for upper classmen and 1.33 for freshmen. The 1.5 average will now be required of all students in that institution.

The postal laws and regulations of the United States have recently been amended to include the following fact: If a postman finds in any private mail box any kind of circular, he will collect the matter and take it to the post office where it will be held for postage. If the postage cannot be collected from the person issuing the material, it will be destroyed.
This new law places the private mail boxes on the same level with the public mail deposits and will tend to eliminate direct advertisers from placing advertisements in the mail box without postage.
...
The new average entails one change in the description of marks. A "C" will now mean an average rather than a good grade.

That college students of the United States are beginning to take an active and real interest in public affairs is being recognized by the leading news papers of the country.
College Students Are Taking Active Interest in Public Affairs, Says Press
During the recent convention of the National Student Federation of America held in Washington, D.C., the Washington Herald carried an editorial saying that the fact that some 250 representatives of universities and colleges, located in every section of the United States, chose the national capital as the place for their meeting indicates that they are becoming political minded. This editorial has since then been printed in various papers over the country. It appeared in the Kansas City Star yesterday evening.
"Instead of positions, there has come in most cases a hard struggle for jobs.
"The economic depression has changed considerably the outlook of college undergraduates," says the Herald. "No longer have they been able to relink through four years of collegiate light-heartedness, secure in the knowledge that at the end of the trail lay an A.B. and any one of half a dozen positions with lucrative salaries attached."
Gumar Mykland, c'35, and Kurt Rieps, T35, president of the Men's Student Council, were the official K.U. delegates at this convention.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 11—(UP) -Motor carriers engaged in interstate commerce between Kansas and other states were required, beginning Jan. 1, to register at one of the 63 ports of entry to the state and pay mileage taxes and special fees to the state corporation commission. It is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 trucks will eventually be registered at
Passports as bulky as those necessary to pass from one foreign country to another were issued to those who registered.
Motor Carriers Must Pause
Kansas Takes Steps to Collect Mileage Taxes and Fees
It is estimated that 15,000 to 20,000 trucks will eventually be registered at
Busses and trucks authorized by the state corporation commission to operate on the highways need stop only for a moment to get proper clearance papers but a stop must be made at each clearance point in order to arrest by any peace officer in the state.
As each carried driver registers he will be furnished with such a passport which will assist in providing the proper learance record which must be obtained by the officers at the "port" before he is allowed to proceed.
The personnel of the ports of entry was under the direction of Wint Smith, chief of the state highway police. Smith was authorized by the law to call upon any peace officer in the state to assist in enforcement.
Wint Smith received his degree from the University of Kansas in 1921.

Lindley To Attend Meeting
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will stop over in Chicago Sunday on his return trip from Washington, D.C., to attend a meeting of the presidents of the Big Ten schools.
and the same time opportunity for a good deal of thinking. As a result, the collegian of today, unlike his brother of 28 and 29, is very much alive to the fact that his economic and social position is anything but secure."
"In short, the college youth of the country are becoming alive to the fact that they, too, are a part of the country and its future. A convention like that of the N.F.A.P., therefore, is expressive of the increasing desire on the part of college students to play a part in helping to fashion the changes which are now taking place in the country's economic and social structure."
Baker Speaks on Traits Found in Newspapers
Papers May Be Judged by Many Human Qualities, He Asserts
"The character of a newspaper may be measured by much the same qualities as the character of an individual," said Ralph Baker, secretary of the Kansas Press association, in his talk before several journalism classes this morning "Appearance, activities, temperament, achievements, and consideration of others are the qualities by which an individual's character is measured, and the same qualities are or should exist in a newspaper."
Mr. Baker also said that the front page of a newspaper is much like the window of a grocery store. It should give the invitation to come in. He declared that one wouldn't see a coal oil can or cracker barrel in a store window; likewise the front page of a newspaper should be free from unattractive features.
"The care given to an editorial page is one of the most outstanding evidences of character in a newspaper," asserted Mr. Baker. "Front page editorials are all right if there is a situation deserving of front page prominence."
Another thing that Mr. Baker stressed was the fact that a newspaper should not only be attractive, but should support community to the fullest extent possible.
Mr. Baker illustrated his talk by various weekly newspapers of Kansas, pointing out the defects and good points of each one.
Logan Called 'Busiest Man'
Title Given Former Kansas Coach by Washington, D.C. Paper
"The busiest man in Washington athletic circles," was the title recently applied to Roland Logan, former University of Kansas football player and assistant freshman football coach, in a Washington, D.C., paper. Logan is serving his first year on the athletic staff of George Washington University as assistant varsity football coach, trainer, freshman basketball coach, instructor of advanced gymnastics and principal of plays and intramural athletics.
Logan was similarly highly applauded as a vocalist of no mean ability.
"It was Logan's rich tenor voice that soothed the ruffled feelings of a large throng awaiting the start of a basketball game a few weeks ago," the article reads. "G.W.'s opponent was delayed because of an accident, but that didn't appease the fans' appetite for action. They got it. An old, dusty piano, several notes of which were in tune, was wheeled into position, and with Mrs. Jean Sexton as accompanist, Logan commenced.
"For 15 minutes the stocky Kanan regaled the crowd with popular songs and, when the last note faded into the rafters, it seemed that they would tumble down on him from the thunderous applause. Basketball was forgotten as they called for encores."
Logan was married during his senior year in high school and has a three-year-old son Jackie, who, according to the Washington Star, "shows more inclination to lead the G.W. band around than to play football."

Council Proposes Five Resolutions for Ticket Change
1st Recommends Shifting of Stadium Seating Arrangement to West Side
Recommended changes in the student activity ticket for next year were drawn up and voted upon in the meeting of the Men's Student Council last night. The new changes will be sent to the administration for final adoption. In the new changes the council has taken into consideration the chief grievances of the students against this years ticket. The new ticket recommendations will eliminate these. The proposed changes are;
1. The student seating section at the football games be changed from the east side, as it is now, to the west side. When the students were placed on the east side last fall instead of the customary west side many complaints were made against the new arrangement. The main objection was that they were unable to enjoy the game because of the sun in their eyes.
2. The seating arrangements in the auditorium at the concerts would be changed in order that students may again have the choice seats that they so strongly agitated for under the present ticket. The new ticket changes will give the students a better pick of the desired seats.
Propose Exemption for Athletes
3. It was also proposed that members of the K-Club and athletes will be exempt from the purchase of the student activity ticket for athletic events. The students to buy a ticket for athletic events while at the same time they do not have a chance to use it.
4. All conditions limiting the use of the ticket would be printed in the front of the new book. This will eliminate questions that confront many of the ticket users this fall.
5. In the new changes it has been proposed that all tickets will be sold at once and all seat reservations for all events will be given out at once. Under this plan football tickets, leagues, sports teams can be received all at the same time instead of waiting until the event takes place as was the custom this year.
Bill Must Be Approved
These new proposals must be approved by both councils and be approved by the Chancellor before effective.
The committee to determine the fate and punishment of those activity ticket holders who violated the rules of the ticket by transferring their tickets for the Missouri-Kansas football game, will meet Wednesday.
Gunnar Mykland, c35, was selected as chairman of a committee that will attempt to bring the National Students Federation of America convention here or to Kansas City in 1935. The conference meets this year in Boston, Miss.
Harold Irwin, 135, Frank Theis, 137,
