Many Cash Customers May Cause Year Book Shortage, Editors Say
Humor Section Well Received
So Much So That Staff
Is Losing Sleep
Grimness and happiness both graced the countenances of the Jayhawk editors this morning when they resumed the task of distributing their stories. "Give grief," they explained, because several people were out gunning for them because of the humor section. Happy, they confess densely confined, because with the book
"All who have receipts or subscriptions for the book should come to the office as soon as possible." Marcy said. "If we do not, we should run short on books, money will have to be refounded as no more books can be made. We have had a good many cash customers lately and many of the alumni are buying copiers."
About 1400 Jayhawkers were distributed yesterday and there are yet a great number of them. A large distribution none will be put out until midnight afternoon at 1:30 During the remainder of next week the office will be open or on time only.
The editors said that they didn't sleep very well last night. Whether that was due to worry over the possibility of being shot, knifed, or slapped, they would not say. It may have been the strenuous work distribution.
The books purchased by the county clubs were mail out from Kannas City; however, the alumni books are vet to be mailed.
"We will feel okay, though after we have a chance to rest over the week-end," they said.
Washington—(UP)3-A strategic plan for handling the difficult farm and tariff problems, which have been addressed recently, has entered upon today by administration leaders in the house. They are confident that the plan will meet with

The plan calls for killing the debenture clause of the farm bill in a conference of committees representative of the farmers and advocates of the original bill, creating the $500,000,000 revolving fund to be administered by the farmers. The tariff strategy is working out equally well from an administrative standpoint and will be the focus of orderly marketing.

Memphis, (UP)—Government officials and engineers assisted by the national guard and hundreds of full force today to combat the most serious flood in this section in two years. Flood waters inundated the dikes in at least three places, and present serious threats other places.

Engineers believe that if the main levees could be held until Monday, the greatest danger would pass on Arkinau above Memphis on the Mississippi above Memphis.
Eighty Cleveland Clinic Patients Unaccounted For
Death Toll of 123 Certain to Mount; 45 Ill Still Confined in City Hospitals
Cleveland, (UP) —With 80 patients treated for the death of 42 more in hospitals here, it was feared that many more may be added to the death which stood to cost $10 million.
The 80 unaccounted for patients are persons who were registered at the hospital and did not occurred. What happened to them is unknown to the officials here.
As the work of checking and rechecking the list of victims went forward, officials found some erroneously reported names and some duplications in identity, but all the dead and injured were believed properly identified today.
Cleveland, Ohio. (UP) "The threat of death hung over a score of personals in the 120 where its lives were swept out by poison gas and fire in the Cleveland clinic."
ruments, doctors, nurses, and firemen, policemen, and volunteers who carried victims from the blazing structure, were ordered to report for medical treatment to drive the gun from their lungs and blood corpse.
The vast destruction of human lives in an institution erected to preserve lives was probably due to two steam pipes, one of which was unreusable. The error of one of the steam fitters lay in leaving a steam pipe unguarded. But the gas would have been released, and the event for the error of the second steam fitter, who years ago added a steam pipe in the wrong place. It prorated from the accidental automatic changes of the fire door.
Many of those who apparently survived the fomes may be walking with death, the coroner said. If cited cases are found, a danger who later collapsed and died.

Society Founded in 1910
The Sachem society was founded on Mount Oread in 1910 by ten men in the senior class. They organized it with the idea of forming a society whose membership would carry with it real honor and prestige. Twenty-four students each year, some in the spring and some in the fall.
The name "Sachen" comes from the Iroquois Indian tribe of New York and means leader. Each tribe of the Iroquois had a leader who elected one sachem or leader who represented his tribe at the great council that not each year to talk over matters of common interest and to settle disputes within the various branches of the nation.
As the term is used in Kansas, Sachem still means leader. To become a Sachem a man must have five qualities: character, unselfish service, and breadth of interests. To motivate a society to achieve these qualities, they must be voted favorably upon by a faculty committee as well as present organization.
