Governor Miller, Alabama, Asks Aid for Stricken Area
Ruined Towns and Broker Families Form Scenes of Destruction in South
274 REPORTED KILLED
(Copyright, 1932)
Montgomery, Ala., March 23—(UP) —Ruined towns, wrecked homes, broken families, maimed bodies, scenes and incidents that tear at the heart brought an appeal for help to the governor. Clinton in Chilton county was hardest hit, with over a quarter of area in which the United Press found 26 were dead and nearly 1000 injured.
Although food, medical supplies, temporary homes in shelter tents, and other immediate needs of the stricken people were being provided, Governor John McCain ordered that tens of thousands suffering asked "citizens of Alabama" and others able to help, to contribute, are they able, to the relief of the storm-striken area through the
Scene of Desolation
The picture that moved the governor to call for the relief of the hopeless, hungry, and injured included levelled telephone and telegraph lines lining the roads through which they had run now, until the rains started. A flashlight that flickered and blinked among the ruins of crumbed homes, revealed the dead. A weeping father was carrying a baby. He sought his mother, the storm and later found her dead.
Another man had thrown a heavy overcoat over his shoulders and stood between the two men he was born his home. He was former Sheriff J. L. Gore of Chilton county living at Union Grove, where not a home was ever built. The family, the Gore family, was spared death.
At one place were 75 homes sprayed over the countryside as if brushed by a huge broom. Another section was sprayed with paint in a path a mile wide and 6 miles long.
Saved at Bedpost
From Georgia came stories to reil headquarters of what had happened there. One family at Avondale, northwest of Atlanta, was saved when the father, John Henry Law, his home became tiring to pipe because he had been driven into the ground. His family gathered about him and hung or for their lives.

Practice Case to Be Based on Premed itated Collision
Fake Accident for 'Laws

Markham, T3; Oliver Rinehart, T3;
Burkinson Burkins, T3; Joseph Pierce,

nesses besides the "Laws."
This accident was not planned to keep up with the "Laws" at Missouri for publicity, but was prepared as a case for the trial. The judge is in charge of the practice class. Members of the class will be consulted later by Atchison, and his attorneys will then investigate the case and decide on how to proceed, who will play in the early part of May.
The two cars involved were supposedly the property of Dwight S. Wallace, T33, but a fine point is to be considered since Bruce A. Murdock rode in the LaSalle, and along Mr. Wal- lamp陪 in the collegiate hall.

Dr. Dengler said that he was surprised at the large number who have attended his bitesets and at the interview with Mr. Kearns, a told that because of the geographical location of Kansas, he would find little interest in foreign affairs here. Continuous questioning on the part of his client showed him that the opposite was true.
"I have watched with increasing interest the work of the professors and students and from my numerous contacts with them, conclude that there a real spirit of learning at the University of Kansas," said Professor Denauer.
The informal, friendly hospitality particularly impressed him "When I came here, I knew no one, but soon I learned that the staff were numerous persons as I hurried across

In Fraser theater the director was the assistant professor Roy Towne, assistant professor of contemporary interest in the author. Beaumarchais was born 200 years ago, and had been an artist for a long time, and had much to do with the American, and the French revolution.
Among these outstanding business ventures was that of supplying war munitions to the Americans during World War II, and of francs worth were sent by the company of which Beaucomarais was a member, and in one case he bought 60 francs. In spite of continual delays of payment from the Americans' Beaucomarais kept borrowing money in France at the rate of 10 francs to the colonists. After the war he sent many claims for payment but received nothing except memorissary notes for about half of what he had paid.
Beaumarchais was an expert watchmaker, a musician, talented enough to teach music to members of the royal family, possessed a good knowledge of music and a large business undertakings and speculations involving millions of francs.

Each Side Charges Other With Being Controlled by Fraternity Combines
OPEN MEETING HELI
By Elliott Penner, gr.
With the non-fraternity vote the bone of contention, the Hill political machines rumbled on today.
The Oread-Kayhawk combine started actively under way with a second open access program in the University in the Union building last night and with a statement made today by Edward Ripley, 234, president of the Oread party, attacking the Society of
At the meeting of the Kayhawk club last night, James Callahan, c33, representative of the Oread party, described that he approached the Oread heads with a proposal that the three parties combine, each to take one-third of the positions. He said he would turn down because it would not give non-fraternity men equal representation with fraternity men. This was vigorous denied by the Oread board and Peschasmac, and Ripley, president of Oread, indicated that he did not know anything about
'Seven Fraternities in Control'
Callahan also declared that Pachacamac was controlled by seven fraterniates who grabbed all of the best positions on the court in the game. Gamma Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, and Delta Tau Delta. In commenting on this statement, Bower said that "we only control five controlled the Oread party"
Other attacks made on the Pachacamac group at the meeting last night were that fraternity members were the limited polling facilities, others got tired of waiting and left; the golf course affair was reviewed, and allegations were made against them. The officers, and other student officers were always selected from fraternity men.
One Kayhawk member also discovered the fact that the term Pachacamac refers to a club.
The statement made by Ripley is as follows:
"The Pachacamac party has made one of its basic campaign slogans equal representation. Fearing another degree of the non-fraternity men, it will in all probability try and win some over by giving a real representation on this year's ticket."
"A check-up of the past 12 years, during which Pachacamac has been dominant, will show, with the possible exception of one or two courts when the jury was present," he have made no attempt to fulfill this promise to the non-fragrant men
Bowen Issues Reply
Bowen declared that the Pachacama party did give equal representation and would do so this year. He said:
would do this so year. He said,
"Equal representation might have been better, but it might not be necessarily so. Ask the Oread party to check the present council for their own representation. Russell Strobel was run as a non-fraternity man, but he is a member of a fraternity. If they are trying to get the idea among non-fraternity men or if they have the idea among equal representation, they are at fault."
"We intend to give equal representation this year as we have always done. They will have to wait until they see the candidates we put up to them, and then we'll do it." With the ticket that we are going to put up, we won't have to throw any mud."

COLLEGE PRANK IS INDEFENSIBLE SAYS M. U. HEAD
Authorities to Investigate Shooting Following Abduction of Queen of St. Patrick's Ball
ONE IS NEAR DEATH
Blood Transfusion Used;
Self-Defense May Be Plea
of Assailant
Columbia, Mo., March 23 — (UP) — University of Maryland authorities planned immediate action today to place blacks in court and law students last night. Three students were shot and wounded and another received a possible skull fracture in the encounter. A man and men was reported near death today.
Dr. Walter Williams in a statement to the United Press said the school would not tolerate such manifestation of student rivalry.
"College pranks are indeferable when they degenerate into lawlessness. Those who do not treat the University will be dealt with summarily. Violation of the state law properly will receive the punishment courts impose for such infractions."
Dr. Alfred A. Heckel, dean of men,
joined President Williams in plans for
the investigation.
Bulle's and Fists Injure
In the fight, the latest incident in a bitter feud between engineers and laws, Frank Luckey of Columbia, an engineer for Microsoft, was burned by Burnis Frederick of Union Star.
Frederick was beaten so severely it was feared his skull had been fractured. Two other engineers, Jerry and Greg, were also wounded slightly by bullets from Frederick's gun before he was overpowered. He was wounded and whiskered away in an automobile.
Later when it was learned Luckey's condition was serious Fredrick was to be sent up to the engineers, he told them,"if the police get me now I'll probably be fine."
The engineers, when they attacked Frederick were seeking revenge for the kidnaping, last Saturday, of Miss Mary Louise Butterfield, queen of the engineering school, said Frederick and three other law students were her abductors. County authorities today awaited the outcome of Lucie's condition before possible filing of charges. Luckey was reported in a grave condition after a blood transfusion which kept him on an operating table more than three hours.
Self-Defense Mav Be Plea
Frederick said he had known the engineers were seeking him and that he went to Sherif Clyde Baleh to ask permission to carry a pistol. "He was very aggressive," he told revolver and carried it when he went with another law student not involved in the kidnapping at dinner at a private dinner, and the engineers attacked him, he said.
Attorneys for Frederick, law student, accused of wounding Frank Luckey, engineer will plead self-defense. Frederick, it was indicated today.
Former State Senator Nick Cave announced his firm had been retained to defend Freedrick.
"From my investigation," he said, "it appears purely a case of self-defense on the part of Frederick. These other students were chasing him and shouting, 'Get him! Get him!' He wasn't the only one doing any shooting. We were all good that they engineers were doing some shooting, too."
RECALL FORMER K. U. FEUD
Lawyers Forced to Repell Attack of Engineers in 1922
The lawyer-engineer feud at the University of Missouri, which resulted in the shooting of three engineer students allegedly by a law student recalls the bitter antagonism between law and engineering, which reached its climax 10 years ago.
The lawyers and engineers here were once very bitter antagonists and any action which was taken by either side was immediately retaliation. Events reached a climax on April 27, 1922, when the engineers descended upon Green灯 and held
The cause of the uprising was the destruction of floats which the engineers had made prior to this date primarily for the purpose of giving the "razz" to the lawyers. The designs of the floats were so large that, executed so, the engineer felt a righteous wrath when they came for the floats and found them in the state of disrepair. Accordingly the engineers moved on masse to Green hall. Then
