THE JAYHAWKER MYSTERY
When the news came out that the Jayhawker pictures were missing, students eagerly advanced many theories as to their whereabouts. Strange as it may seem, most were quick to place the blame on some of their fellow students, possibly basing their assumption on the belief expressed by the editor of the Jayhawker that the pictures had been removed from the council room after being dropped there.
Now even the editor admits the possibility that the pictures may never have been delivered and that therefore the fault lies with the photographer. This theory is not unsupported by facts. The Kansas Players employed the same photographer last fall, and after his pictures of "Pygmalion" and certain plays were not delivered, found it necessary to employ another photographer. A student who was promised pictures of campus events and scenes for a Kansas City paper was never able to secure them.
There are other circumstances to suggest carelessness in delivery of the pictures. Why, for instance, should the photographer deliver the pictures early in the morning when it is almost certain that no one would be at the office at that hour? And then, finding the door locked, why should he take chances on dropping them through a window when he knew they were a most valuable asset to the yearbook?
In the light of all these circumstances, does it not seem strange that the water pipes should burst and destroy the plates so that no more prints could be made?
Before condemning students for carrying off the pictures, those in authority should investigate and make certain that the pictures were actually delivered. Judging from the circumstances presented above, it may be revealed that it was not a student prank at all, but rather negligence on the part of the photographer.
Imagine the consternation of a young miss who, after attending what she described as a "fairytale" school, many for three days, discovered that she was in a group intent on learning the gentle art of blowing gay tunes on her guitar. And there she was —without her place.
THE POWER OF THE PRESS
Great and potent are the powers and benefices of the press. A few days ago this column carried a plea for repair of the drinking fountain in the Kansan news room. The next morning the fountain did not work at all. A paragraph relating the fact was hastily inserted, and, lo and behold, the paper had not gone to press when came repairmen, and in less than a nonce a goodly stream of water was available to all and sundry, as well as to professors and right editors.
Another difference between high school and college is that the high school students say, "I don't know," in response. The college students say, "I don't recall."
ANOTHER TAX
Now Uncle Sam is taxing jigsaw puzzles. Any containing more than 50 pieces, he says, is a game and taxable. Evidently one with fewer than 50 pieces may be considered child's play.
There is no doubt that Uncle Sam has the right idea. He's a smart guy when it comes to grabbing a chance to get the people's money. The funny part of it is, the public won't give up the jigsaw puzzles until they're ready—tax or no tax!
With Jim Bausch's acceptance of the European tour, Bing Crosby and Russ Columbo can rest easily once more.
NO ADMITTANCE
At the end of each semester, students who have failed to pass in 40 per cent of the class hours in which they were enrolled cannot enroll for the succeeding semester until their petition for reinstatement is approved by the board of faculty members. This system puts a premium on the art of drawing up a petition.
In some cases a student may have justifiable reasons for failing to pass the required percentage of hours. The fact that he cannot actually justify his record, however, does not keep him from filling out an acceptable petition. Too often it is easy to fashion a good excuse.
Re-entrance is not the only opportunity a student may have for formulating a petition. Fines and late enrollment fees are redeemed by petition. Exemptions are obtained by petition. Legal residence, in the eyes of the University, is sometimes acquired by petition. Numerous other occasions may arise on which the scholastic fate of the student will lie in the effect a small piece of paper will have on a board.
In justice to students who are not gifted by nature in filling out petitions, the University should include in its curriculum some course of education along that line. We hereby petition for it.
Three huzzas for "Wee Willie," but who in this great bisei" and sophisticated student body has been reading the "American Boy?"
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan;
Upon the request of Dr. F. C. Allen, the Men's Student Council wishes to recommend to the students of the University of Kansas that further booing of the students be discouraged. The Council asks that the students co-operate in a movement not only to do away with booing at this University, but to do away with booing in all the schools of the Big Six Councils of the other schools will b

Long, long ago, we promised ourself that if we ever became an editor, we would write, and what's more, print a column. Probably we won't be any great shakes as a columnist, but a promotion is a promise, and this is the result.
Rudy Vallee and his Connecticut Yankees are to play for the inaugural ball. In view of the Democratic repeat plank, probably the tune to be played during the grand march will be the "Stain Son."
Readers of the Kanusan who intend to become readers of this galley must weigh their qualifications carefully. First of all, patience* will undoubtedly be first of all, that is quiet and long-suffering. And a careful control of course, perceived sometimes to agree with ours. The gentle reader will without a doubt be called upon to exercise great quantities and the highest qualities of tolerance. A tongue that finds itself in such contexts will be highly desirable and grains of salt are an absolute necessity. We'll probably think of other needed characteristics of our reader as we go on, but all and sundry have our permission to continue where the above conditions have been met.

Randolph Pauk, 61, was arrested on behalf of the Moe Van Werning was driving to rob the bank.

GRAFTFIEL VI—Harris interrogates WHAK of the day of the murder. Welch is vicious in the face of his attack. Thayer was alive when he left him, but the murderer was lying dead; he is living, seemingly endowing to him his firm conviction being that he committed the resulting combination of incidents more than one time.
CHAPTER VIII
Summer had settled upon the Mar-
land campus. The typical "hot week
in May" afflicted the student body
with a swirling mixture of every man
and woman connected with the
college was vividly interested in
their studies, and the student could
not very well be trained externally.
Havney snorted up the stairway in Regan's wake. A uniform policeman, who had been sitting in a rocker outside the door which gave access to the room, rose and saluted Regan. The Maraud detected briefly.
A half dozen undergrounds who were lounging on the lawn in front of the Lumbia Temple III house, saw John Koehler. They saw someone else, too—an arounding far man why lay back in the next sent to the delver and complained that he had been one passed the word that the fat man was a famous detective and was greeted with an outburst of derision. That Bird a detective! Ha-ha!
The students, as a whole, could not believe any of the three suspects guilty. It was a nasty mess all around—the college agreed on that.
"Brynn, this is Jim Hanvey—you've heard of him, haven't you?"
"I never have felt no bitter weather!"
It was Reagan who was forced to remind Hanvey that they were supposed to be working on a murder case, and he did not. He needed to certain chalk marks on the floor.
"—Jim Haney himself in person, Jim, this is George Bryan of the Marsh land force."
Jim extended his hand. "Howdy, Bryan."
"Who made those, Reagan?"
"Inhaney's in charge of the case now," explained Reagan. "What he says—goes, 'Pass that along to the gimmick who relieves you.'"
They entered the room together, leaving a pop-oped policeman on duty at the door. Once inside Rigan stood watching as he watched his celebration communion.
"Jim Hanvey?" The policeman's eyes seemed about to jump from their sockets. "Not—"
"Yes. And hot as h=1. Don't you ever get fat, Bryan. It's awful in this kind of weather."
Haney's fashile little eyes looked everywhere and appeared to see nothing. Reagan waited for him to do something—and was disappointed, Jim merely stood in one spot, breathing audibly and mopping the back of the stairs, until he turned, and Reagan prepared for a pronouncement of importance.
"Good Lord, . . . Say, you ain't really, . . ."
    "?"
"One thing I'm sure of," said Hanvey.
"I did."
"What?"
"They outline the position of Tieye's body as it was when I got here. That straight line where you're standing in the mark to show how far open Carmine says the door was when he is at the feet of the body from the hall."
"I can't hidding; on the level, I don't. Now me—I'd have come in here and booked the body over and remembered how it it lay. But I never would have been there after that he would just live now in my memory. I can see now. . . ."
Jim nodded approvingly. "Fine work, John. I never could understand how you detectives manage to think of all those things."
He opened the door and stepped into the hull. From where he stood he could see that section of the chalk position of Thaxer's feet and ankles.
"Oult kidding, Jim."
"That's what Carmicino says he saw,
Jim."
"I see . . .." Hanvey walked back in the room and Reagan followed, closing the door again.
"Did you look, over his papers?" asked the fat man.
"Find anything?"
"I think so. I found his bank book for one thing. He deposited some large amounts and there ain't much to get him out." He was getting them from Max Vernon.
"Any other deposits?"
"Yes. Some small, and others as
high as a couple of hundred dollars,
But there isn't any record of where
they came from."
"From girls?"
"Any letters?
"Plenty. Especially from Ivy Walch — Larry's slater. Want to read 'em'?" "Mushy!"
"I'may. And how! The kid was crazy about that bird and no mistake. He was her first love and all that sort of thing. There was anything I knew."
Jim Hanvey was staring into the sunshine beyond the closed windows; there was a queer, soft light in his expressionly expressionless eyes.
"I reckon I won't read 'em, John. I never could get a whale of a laugh out if love letters."
Rogan fushed. He knew Hanney hadn't meant to rebuke him . . , but, by gosh! who ever would have sus- tured me in the mind of fish of being a sentimentalist?
It Was Reagan Who Was Forced to Remind Hanvey That They Were Supposed To Be Working on a Murder Case.
"What now, Jim?"
Again Reagan felt baffled. There were moments—and this was one—when he believed Hanvey was superbly stupid.
"Now? Golly! I dunno. What do you reckon I ought to do?"
"Would you like to see Farnum and Gleason?"
"Don't you want to talk to Mike Carmichello? I guess he knows a lot about Thayer and Vernon both."
Jim's eyes lighted, as though at a new and year old睡觉了。
"No-o. I reckon not."
"That's a swell thought, John. Where'll we find this janitor?"
They located Mike Carminillo in the basement of the fraternity house, where he was expected to charge of the case and wished to question him . , . , and then there was silence for minutes during the swarty examination expressionless countenance of Haney with wonder and bewilderment. When Jim did speak, his tone was quiet—
"You were here all day on May first, Mike?"
Carlina's face beaten.
"Oh, yes, sir. I was nowhere else at all."
"Of course you know Mr. Thayer pretty well, didn't you?"
Carmelo made an expressive gesture. "I know him very good. He is one fine feller."
And m. sir, Veronii.
"Also he is a fine fellow, Meester Hanvey."
"Do you know Miss Antoinette Peyton?"
The black eyes of the jantor danced with enthusiasm. "I know her good. She is—"
"Sure. She is a fine feller. I understand." Jim produced his golden toothpick and loved with it. "Was that in the room with the day Mr. Thayer was killed?"
"Oh, no, sir. I did not see her. Not any."
"Yes, sir; she was here."
"Now, you hail!"
"Then how do you know she was here?"
"Ihm! But you did not see her?"
"No, snr. Not even one time."
"Have you ever heard of her coming here before?"
"Oh no, sir. Ladies, she do not come to fraternity house."
"Did you see Mr. Vernon on May first about half-past one o'clock"? "Yes, sir."
"Where?"
"Doing what?"
"I see him doing two things. First I see him go into Meester Thayer's room, and long time beyond that I see him leaving the house."
"You didn't see him leave Mr Thayer's room?" "No, sir."
"Where were you when you first saw him."
"That was when you saw him go Into Thayer's room?"
"Did you notice anything queer in the way he looked? Anything different from his regular expression?"
"I was cleaning hall on the second floor."
Carmine looked away and shook his head. "I do not know how you mean expression, Moester Havrew." "Noo," Was Mr. Vernon said?
"You like Mr. Veron? You wouldn't want to see him in trouble, would you?"
"And so you wouldn't likely remember if he was mad or not?"
"No, sir—I do not be happy to see Meester Vernon in trouble."
Carmicino's black eyes narrowed as they flashed to the face of the detective.
"How I know was Meester Vernon mad? He go into Meester Thainya's room to talk to her, and count those two fellows is very the friends forever. No, Meester Havenny — I cannot say was Meester Vernon was just cleanl hall or I do not know."
Harvey nodded approvingly, "Fine boy, Mike. You and I ought to get along great. Now, you say you saw Vernon leave the fraternity house?"
"I would not say something about Mester Vernon I no, not know, Mester Hanvey. If I know he is mad, I say he is mad. If I only see his face, I do not tell you I guess he is mad, Mester Veron he is always nice to me."
"Yes, sir. I see that
"Where were you?"
"Was he in a hurry? Was he walk-
out?"
"I was work" downstairs—back of the house—when I see Meester Vernon come down before he leaves.
"Yes, sir—he come down the steps pretty fast?"
"Do you remember if he had any thing in his hands?" "Not in his hands no sg. But he
"Not in his hands, no, sir. But he have a bundle under his arm."
"What sort of a bundle?"
"I don't say for sure, Meester Hanvey; but I think from where I was work. It look like a bundle of clothes."
"do it, look like a bundle of clothes."
"Do you remember if he was wringing the same suit when he left the fraternity house that he had on when he
Again Carnelino heSTATED. When he answered It was as though honesty was distasteful. "I feel moss' sure he was not wear" the same suit."
"You think he changed clothes between the time he visited Thuer's room and the time he left the house, er?"
"Do you know me. Larry Welch?"
"Yes, sir. He is one fine linter."
"Did you see him on May first?"
"No, sir. I do not see him any."
"I think, yes. But I do not know for sure."
No, sir. I do not see him any.
"You didn't see him come to this house or leave it?"
