No resistance was offered and the girl did not attempt to rob any of the people whom she had lined up. One of them was taken down in his wallet which was not touched.
Two men and a masked woman held up the Cottage about 9:15 o'clock last night, and after forcing students and employees into a line beside the booth in the rear of the building, they insisted that the registrar of approximately $38 in cash.
The bandits made their escape immediately in what is believed to be either a Ford or Chevrolet sedan. Although several people were standing outside the Cottage at the time of the attack, they did not know that anything unusual had happened.

Harold Denton, c. 35, newly elected president of the Men's Student Council, who returned today from a meeting of members of atheist groups, said that the University of Kansas student government has more power, more democracy, and creates more interest and enthusiasm among men body than in any other Big Six school.
K. U. Student Council Has More Power Than That of Other Big Six Schools
The other two members of the Council who represented the University at the convention at the University of Massachusetts, Manning, c24, and George Bond, c24.
In explaining his statement, Denton said that Kansas is the only one of the Big Six schools where the Student Council has any disciplinary power. The council at Kansas State must make a decision on the student enrollment. The other councils have no voice at all in disciplining students. He also said that at Manhattan, where there are seven members on the Council, never in the history of the school has a non-violent student to face. During the last election at Kansas State where men and women vote together less than half of the students cast ballots. Last month at KU, more than three-fourths of the eligible voters cast their votes in the Men's Student Council election.
Denton said that much enthuasiasm was arraced at the convention, and that plans for an informal organization of the Big Six Student councils, which may eventually include Michigan, Minnesota, and surrounding states, were made at a banquet last night. This organization, which will have Professor E. W. Lantz, of Nebraska, as a permanent faculty member, newly elected council takes office, for the purpose of arranging enthuasiasm and exchanging ideas.
Denton said that he had received several ideas, which he will try to work out during the time he holds office. Among these is the plan at Iowa State of dividing rooming house districts into wards for the purpose of organized social activity among students. Another is the flat tax which all students pay, and which includes athletics, social activities, activity book, university publications, and the like.
"I believe," said Denton, "that the conventions will do a lot toward bringing about better co-operation between Big Six schools, and also to promote student government, since each course president is pledged to安检 the examinations." Denton said to report any outstanding work to all other Big Six schools."
Remarkable Group of Talent Offered in Concert Series
Course Will Include Iturbi,
Swarthout, Heifetz,
and Hall Johnson
Negro Choir
ADMISSION IS REDUCED
This is a remarkable group, according to Dean Swearthout, manager of the course and any number of the group ultimately be worth a $2 single tuition.
An all-star course is offered for the University concert course next season, according to D. M. Swarthout, head of the School of Fine Arts. The course will offer world-renowned violinist; 14 turl; Gladys Haworth; and the Hall Johnson Negro choir. Although the talent listled will cost several thousand dollars, the season tickets for next year will cost $3.50, $4.50, and $3.50 for the course.
Turbiz, whose recital here last fall was referred to by the Kansas City Journal-Post as one of the two really great musical events in Kansas City and vicinity until 1391, will return with an entirely new program. This great Spanish pianist is one of the few artists to play a return engagement on his own piano. Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano, has but been through a successful year
furbi Will Reappear
He expects Heilts, who with Kreisler is conceded to be one of the world's greatest violinists, to draw crowds from all over the Southeast to hear him.
Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano,
has just been through a successful year at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The negra choir of 18 voices, under the direction of Hall Johnson himself, sang in "Green Painters," which appeared in Kansas City this winter. The choir is composed of genuine down-South negress who sing the negr spirituals and ballads like no other chorus of its kind, and it is expected to be a big drawing card, according to Dean Swarthout.
Swarthout Asks Support
a SWARTHITCH in which he concluded his announcement of the program for next year, Dean Swarthout asked for a more general support and patronage from those at the University and in having the concert course continue.
"It is certain that Lawrence is not willing, after 30 years of success, to allow one of the great cultural assets of the city to perish. If those who know musical wills will do their part and keep their records alive, we continue. Without it, the existence of the course after next season is greatly jeopardized."
Concerts brought to the campus this past season consisted of Turbi, pinnist; the Don Corsack chorus; Thibaud, violinist; the Lone String quartet; and Giannini, soprano. Extra attractions not included on the regular course were John McCormick (sound), John McCormick (sound), the Tony Sarg Marcian, sound film, grand opera "Pagliacini" and Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Abbas in costume recital.
