County Treasurer Will Obey Statute in Tax Collection
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MAY 28, 1933
L. E. Hoover Says He Does Not Attempt to Pass on Constitutionality of Law
Regarding the recent development in the fraternity tax situation, in which State's Attorney Roland Boynton upheld the fraternity tax cancellation for the three years during the time of the test case, L. E. Hoover, treasurer of Douglas county, said today that he would carry out whatever was stated in the law, when asked what would be done about collecting the present fraternity taxes. Mr. Hoover's statement follows:
"I do not know how the new county officials will go about collecting the taxes, but it has always been the custom for years to send out statements from taxpayers. I will become due as a matter of courtesy and convenience," Mr. Hoover said.
There will be no attempt to collect the taxes for 1933 until the coming fall. All or half of the taxes for this year may be paid between Nov. 1 and Dec. 20 without penalty. After Dec. 20, the first half of the taxes begin drawing interest at the rate of 10 per cent until it is paid.
"I have contended ever since the new law was passed that was my duty as an official to obey the law and not to try to judge as to whether it was constitutional or not. Consequently, I have refused to rule against fraternities for 1930-31, and will continue to carry out the laws."

BUSINESS STUDENTS ON TRAIL OF WORLD'S MEANEST VILLAIN
"Why the low-down----" "Why the
doll and so----" "Of all the mean
things to do."
Contempt, disgust, and the desire for revenge all go into these expressions! Yon can hear them anywhere there is a group of School of Business students around. They are up in arms over there in West Ad and it is going to be plenty hard on the person who started the war once they find him.
It all happened during the noon hour last Wednesday but wasn't discovered until late afternoon when Professor E. B. Dade was summoned to the practice room. "You've got a lot of destruction. There upon the tables rested his four "prides and joys"—the very best calculating machines that Mr. Monroe could manufacture — all
Jane Fuqua, who was picked by Herbie Kay a month ago at tryouts in the Muechlebach grill, as one of the four best warlords out of 163 contestants, sang with the band. Herbie Kay took three of the lucky ones, while Louis

Delegation Will Participate in Y.M.C.A. Conference in June
The Hill's smart set (but not in the classroom) turned out in large numbers to make a fitting and complimentary exit for Phil McKenna as varsity dance impressario. Louis Siebers and his band play on the musical calendar, stacking up well against the musical luminaries brought here in the past few weeks.
Among the speakers who will address the conference are: Dr. Bruce Curry, of the Union Theological Seminary of New York City, Paul Harris, of the National Council for the Prevention of War, Dr. A. D. H. Caplan, of Denver University, Dr. C. H. Patterson of the University of Nebraska, W. O. Mendenhall, president of Friends University in Wichita, Powers Happold, of Indianapolis, Dr. E.

th Nelson and Evelyn O'Cronin, both of

Band to March in Parade
The University of Kansas Band will participate in the Memorial Day parade, which is being staged by the Dorsay-Liberty Post of the American Legion. Attendees will be housed on Michigan streets, the parade is scheduled to arrive downtown at 10 o'clock.
The Farewell Varsity in the Memorial Union last night wound up the Hill's social season with a record of several runs, plenty of hits and no errors. Most of them were from second base, so the season have gone over like a beautiful ball with a sport roadster.
With the curtain down on the campus social season for this year, students have nothing to worry about now, except final examinations, jobs, unjail bills and carfare home. But last night the scene was one of gay abandon (well, not exactly that, but you get the idea) for you remember Napoleon and his staff danced the night before Waterloo.
Phil McKnight has given (figure-actively) the Hill's dance goers a number of nationally famous orchestras this year. Among the topnotchers were Joe Haymes, who is now in the East broadcasting over the Columbia network; Red Nichols, of the bricked hair and the inspired trumpet; Jimmy Joy with his accordion player and Walt Disney; Henry Halstead and the chorus work of his band members; Larry Funk, who has just a very good outfit.
But the featured singer was not responsible for all of the success of the evening's entertainment. Louis Siebers and his boys did their stuff excellently, graciously and seemed to be having as pleasant a time as their listeners.
Seniers signed up Miss Fuqua to emit those honeyed sounds which incite the savage beasts.
So it has been a big year. McKnight in summing up the season pertinently remarked: "Whew! I'm sure . . . glad last night was the last varisty. Now I will have a little time to get ready for those . . . finals. We've had a good season, not exactly profitable, perhaps, but then we didn't lose any money."
Which, considering the orchestra engaged as compared with the liquid assets of the student body, was quite some feat after all.
knocked and battered and jammed. The handle of one was smashed and bent and every one of them had the insides up so they couldn't run at all. Poor machines! And poor Mr. Dade.
When he had recovered sufficiently from his surprise to spread the news around the School of Business, everyone instantly took on a Van Dynn attitude and began to scream, "Who did it? Who did it? Who was so low-down as to jam the works just when the problems of the year are almost due?"
Several theories have been advanced as to who was responsible for the destruction and what their motive could have been. Someone might have had a grudge against the School of Business or some of the faculty members and sought this moronic way of getting even. Then some think the a student who was wary, way, way away from these "way, way backs" can get them these "way, way backs" can get them the easiest way to evade further effort in preparing his problems would be to put the machines out of commission, thus stopping the efforts of the whole class.
Then, an interesting feature of the mystery, the elementary statistics class had just been shown the inner workings of the machines and given their first lessons in operating them. Suppose some everly zealous prototype of Excel could be about what would happen if those cute little steer rods were clipped in two?
Those machines cost money to repair —yes, great big green bills with $$$ on them—and every added expense means an increased reduction somewhere else.
The theory most generally accepted is that the offender was one of those unfortunate persons who are afflicted with that strange type of mental disorder where things just aren't balanced right.

Requests usually total 1600 to 1700, said H. E. Chandler, Summer Session secretary, yesterday, but he added that this year all 2500 printed have been
Early requests were from teachers and others over the state, but in the last few days large numbers of students now enrolled have been inquiring about summer courses. Some have only a few hours remaining to finish their courses who wish to speed the day on which they will complete their University courses.
An unusual feature this year are inquiries from high school graduates, who seem interested in taking University courses this summer in order to get an early start on their college capers.

Watkins Hospital Will Remain Open Until Graduation
Canuteson Announees That
Regular Vacation Schedule Will Begin
June 1
All patients now in the hospital are expected to be released before the closing date. Dr. Canuteson said
"Watkins Memorial hospital will not close officially for the summer until after graduation exercises at the University on June 12." Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director, said yesterday morning, "but the regular vacation schedule will go into effect on June 1 and will continue until the hospital closes. During two weeks卸下 from the disembarkation will open only from 12 o'clock each morning."
Graduating nurses of Bell Memorial hospital, Kansas City, he will, be guests of the University hospital on Monday as a precedent established several years ago.
In discussing plans for re-opening the hospital next September, Dr. Canuteson said that present plans would call for the return to service of all members of this year's staff. The student医院, he indicated, would, if possible, be maintained on a basis similar to this year's standard. A further decrease in enrollment and a subsequent drop in student health fees would make this impossible, he said, recalling that this year's hospital fee total represented a decrease of 10.2 per cent over last year.
"The hospital is still operating on the 1919 income basis." Dr. Canuteson said, "but we are continuing to give more and better service. Another drop might be a great hardship upon us, and consider a considerable change in our plans."
Physical examinations will be given for enrolling students next fall on Sept. 16, 18, and 19, he announced. The dispensary will be opened on Sept. 20, the opening date for classes at the University.
The total number of patients treated this year, records show, was smaller than last year's by several hundred, but the proportionate decrease in enrollment approximately balanced the two totals, the Doctor said. A total of 21-315 patients were registered for treatment this year as against an even 22-314 patients. The combined seventy-three persons were confined to the hospital, representing an increase of almost one hundred over last year's total of 885.
MISSOSOU HORMSE DE EFAIT
OHSTATE SEM PLAYERS
OHSTATE SEM PLAYER
Columbus, O., May 27-(UPC)—University of Missouri's crolo polo team completed its series here with a brilhant 4 victory over Ohio State here today.
The Missouri horsemen claimed the midwestern intercollegiate pole championship after taking their second triumph from Ohio State. Missouri last only one college match in twenty-five starts this season.
Good Job or Bank Account Is Ability;
Black Eye or Broken Arm Only Luck
Luck, many students assert, is what the other fellow has when he obtains a good job, a fine girl or a large bank account. A poor girl usually contends that it was ability.
That there is such a thing as luck, however, it attested by a number of stories heard about the campus. For example, there is a professor here who tells a strange story of a dollar-gold piece. He was jay-walking across a busy street in the snow on the West Coast where people boast that it never snows, and in pulling a handkerchief from his pocket, dropped his pocket book. He recovered his purse and continued on home.
Late that night he missed a five-dollar gold-piece. The next morning, he went to look for his missing coin. As he was standing near the place where he supposed it was lost, a long horse-drawn truck came plowing through the snow. He stepped on and got to let the truck glanced down into the track it had made and saw a nickel lying in the snow.
Somewhat disgusted at losing $$ and finding only a nickel, he topped to pick it up, and found that right beside it was the five-dollar gold piece. "I ask you," he uuied, "How could anything but luck bring about such a sequence of events as snow in a warm land, and a wide-tired truck, to press down the snow, just for $??"
Last summer a woman in this state lost a valuable pearl from a ring while pealing peaches. The garbage pail was searched, but no trace of the pearl had been found in a chicken was being drawn for the noon day meal, the gem was found in its cray.
"Luck," she exclaimed, "just luck." About two years ago, five Kansas City men went on a fishing trip in the southwestern part of United States. All but one of them went in an airplane. When the fish were caught, the others begged him to return with them in the plankton, refused use as an ambassador, he had to stop on the way back on business. An hour after he had told them good by, he was asked to identify the charred bodies of all its companions.
A University student tells this one. He had made a long trip in an automobile, travelling at a rate of speed between 55 and 60 miles an hour all the way. He reached home and after unloading his passengers, started to turn the car around when the rear wheel dropped off. On examination he found that the axle had crystallized with just a small portion of the axle supporting the car while he had been travelling at high speed.
Another student tells of catching on to a low limb of a cherry tree after falling about four feet, when a ladder slipped.
