Rock Chalk Cairn Destroyers Seem Likely to Escape
Ground Trampled by Sight Seers Hinders Police in Their Search for Clues
The hoodlums who destroyed the Rock Chalk Cairn north of the Administration building Friday night or early Monday were captured today likely to escape detection.
With no formal investigation launched, and if ew any clues to work on, it is expected the affair will remain a mystery. The paint used and which the pain can be wasrapped are not the authorities have in their possession.
George Snider, campus policeman,
explored the fact today that sightseers
had tramped the ground about the
Cairn before the police had arrived.
LITTLE TO WORK ON
"If we had been there first, we would have put a fence around the pile, until we had a chance to go over the ground," he said.
LAWRENCE. KANSAS. MONDAY, JANUARY 9. 1933
The consensus of opinion among the student body seems to be that within their numbers would be found the guilty parties. However, no one was able to advance a plausible theory for the motive.
Students unanimously agreed that something should be done about the matter, but few had suggestions to offer as to the proper course to be pursued.
It appears likely that the Rock Chall Pile will be rebuilt some time in the future, but no definite action has been taken as yet. Harold Denton, c'33 president of the Men*Student Council, and Eugene Manning, c'33 president of Sachem, were expected to confer early this week on the matter.
Kansas Board of Health Secretary Reveals 1932 Statistics
Typhoid Death Rate Lower
Since the Rock Chalk Cairn was constructed and maintained by student organizations, it is possible University officials will leave future action up to them.
The number of deaths in the state of Kansas in 1932 resulting from typophoid fever is the lowest in the history of the state, according to information received by Earnest Boyce, chief engineer for the State Board of Health, from Dr. Erl G. Browne, Secretary and Executive Officer of the Board at Topeka. The decrease in the number of deaths is due primarily to proved conditions in the source of water and food supplies throughout the state.
In a telephone conversation with Mr Boyce this morning Dr. Browne said,
byce this morning Dr. Brown said, "Provisional figures of the typhoid deaths will be the lowest in the his decade," he added. The report of the Board will not be published until some time in February. This report will give the exact figures as to the number of cases which resulted from typhoid deaths. Mr. Brown has met at the activities of the Board.
The records for the last 20 years have shown a gradual decrease in the death rate from typhoid. The sanitary engineers of the state have identified and in the improvement of water plants and the sources of supply throughout the State. This is being accomplished by their inspections and approval of supplies for cities. They also co-operate and act in the control of pollution and contribute to city engineers.
It was pointed out by Mr. Boyce that, although the number of typhoid cases is decreasing, the potential danger of a large epidemic is even greater. This is due to the increasing number of people who are using water and food from the same sources. More people are using city water than water from their own kitchen during. During the five years two of the worst typhoid epidemics have occurred. One of these was in Germany and the other was in Canada.
Tour University Power Plant Members of the senior class in "Central Stations" in the School of Engineering and Architecture made an inspection tour this afternoon, which was on Thursday afternoon. The tour was intended to acquaint the men with some of the labor saving and economical devices of a power plant. D.C. Jackson, Jr., professor of electrical engineering, taught a class about the engineer because of the ill-health Dean Shaad at the beginning of the year.

Sid was running around and jumping over scars in the backyard, and then between the last bench and the rear wall of the stadium where Evans was standing. Without the slightest warning the dog, apparently thinking he was leaping to the top of another ledge, jumped over the wall. Evans gripped his hind legs but was unable to hold him. He ran across the field and from the top of the wall to the ground is about 60 feet, the equivalent of a four- or five-story building

In proposing the general activity plan we realize that individual students may feel that they don't care for certain activities included in it. No ticket could satisfy every student. There would be disaggregated items for some in any combination. This activity plan is devided, with a great reduction in the cost of each activity, to provide a direct saving on that combination which the student is interested in as well as to give him the opportunity of participating in those others which are proven value.
The plan must be considered as a whole, and not objected to because one feature is objectionable. For instance, the student who now buys a Jayhawker and an athletic ticket, or a similar combination, would be, under the proposed plan, getting concerts, plays, lectures, Union privileues, Kansan, and lower prized V-arities at no additional cost to him; he would pay part of the cost each semester instead of the whole cost in the fall semester as at present.
Plan Must Be Considered As Whole
The question must be clearly stated, "Do we want to continue on the present basis, paying $ 1 for Athletics, $ 4.50 for Jaywalker, $ 4 for the Kausan, $ 4 for concerts (the cost next year without this general plan), 75 cents to $ 1 for Variables, etc., or shall we adopt the plan which will include all these activities for $ 3.50 the first semester and $ 3 the second?" The present quality of the activities is to be maintained and will be raised as the enrollment returns to normal. Are these activities worth that small amount as a part

lounds to Pursue Liza on Fraser Theater Stage
Dramatic Club Will Revive
"Uncle Tom's Cabin"
Feb. 7, 8, 9
The University of Kansas Dramatic club, under the direction of Allen Crafford, head of the Dramatic department will present a revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Feb. 7, 8, and 9, in Fraser theater.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" has enjoyed the longest life of any play ever produced in this country. Only last month it was presented at the New York Academy of Music, where it was aroused in around the interest of the people as it did when first played in 1852.
Patrona of Fraser theater have requested many times during the past year to present a film, and presented. Director Crafton attempted several times to cast the show, but a lack of talent necessary for the number of roles he had to play always caused a cancellation.
This year, however, Professor Crafton stated that the cast that appears in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will have to come up to the standards expected. He believes a fine show will be the result.
Rehearsal began last Wednesday. All memory for the play, which quires 15 hours, has been built and painted.
"Ucune Tom's Cabin" will be performed in the same manner as have been revivals of old other shows in the past seasons. The style of acting will be that of the nineteenth century, as is the scenery.
The east for "Uncle Ton's Cabin"
will be announced some time this week.
Tickets will go on sale Feb. 3 in the
basement of Green hall.

All-Activity Plan to Begin New Era in Money Saving
Completion of Memorial Union to Start Next Year If Scheme Is Accepted
DANCES PT 50 CENTS
By promoting the general activity ticket which has been designed to bring to every student on the Hill the privilege of conference and lecture courses, and by allowing varied variables at 50 cents admission, the University Daily Kansas, the Jayhawker, and other student activities, combined in one low priced ticket, the Men's Student Council and W. S. G. A. of university, are saving to University students.
According to Harold Denton, c33, president of the Men's Student Council, one of the main benefits which students will reap from the ticket will be the completion of the Memorial Union. As was announced last Thursday in the plans presented by the investigation committee from the Men's Student Council and WSGA, a 50-cent admission price will make possible a 50-cent admission price for varity丹臻 and the completion of the Union within a few years.
Outlines Improvement Plans
According to Denton, if the activity ticket is passed, the same number of varieties will be given next year as have been given this season. The present quality of music for the dances will be maintained. Fifty cents will be the admission price for dances with the exception of the four class parties.
In a statement to the Kaman today, Ray Wright, Lawrence business man, chairman of the committees on competition and improvements for improvements which are to be carried out in the Union from year to year, 'hit ticket goes through.'
Co Finish Ballroom
According to Mr. Wright the ballroom will be finished by next year in case 'in ticket' is adopted. Walls and ceiling tiles will be installed, and furnishings will be installed in place of the present temporary ones, and the entire floor will be decorated in a manner suitable to a ball room. A check of the interior of the men's lounging room on the first floor.
"Every day we have a demand for more space in the Union," Wright said today. "During the second year we will be able to complete the third floor of the building, thus making available many more office rooms. At the present time all space on this floor is occupied by staff and customers, an expensive one, as it will be necessary to partition off the entire floor into small office rooms."
Denton said today that the completion of the Union would be one of the most beneficial results of the acceptance of the general activity ticket.
