Plea of "Guilty" in Second Degree Made by Hodges
Charge of First Degree
Robbery Is Dropped
When Answer
Is Filed
(United Press)
New York, May 19 — Alexander R Hodges, former University of Kansas athlete, was accused here of robbing a restaurant of $242, told the city in the see end degree and threw himself on the mercy of the court.
Assistant District Attorney Daniel O'Sullivan agreed to the plea, and expressed a hope that Hodge's trial for robbery in the first degree, would be dismissed. June 18 was set for as the date for passing sentence.
Hunger Is Emphasized
In his written recommendation O'Sullivan said in part: "The defendant claims that want and hunger created such a state of mind that he acted on impulse to grab the money from the cashier of the restaurant where he was served as desk. He that mates he had applied to the Y. M. C. A. for employment, to the New York Stock exchange and Henry Dougherty and Company and had reason to believe he would receive concern to which he had sent.
"He has been out on hail since the time of his arrest and is employed by a responsible bonding concern. He has numerous character witnesses to testify to his previous good reputation. These statements must be given some weight. Of course the men held up by him were using a gun, and this was grounded on a prosecution on the theory of robbery in the first degree.
Cab Driver Testifies
"However they the court of the district office I have located a taxi driver named Daniel O'Shea who made his escape making his escape from the scene of the hold up that he saw the defendant throws an imitation automatic from his car."
"Under all the facts and circumstances in the case if the defendant were convicted of any degree of robbery, he would be entitled to would exceed robbery in the third degree. And since he is willing to admit his guilt and has thrown himself on the mercy of the court he has been found guilty of another defendant who pleaded guilty."
Managers Attribute Success to Lowered Price
The change followed a conference of O'Sullivan and Snittko, 'Hodges' as the chief proof as charged in the indictment that a gun had been used in 11 holdups. Hodges has claimed he killed two people when he is still being held on $5,000 bail.

Public School Teacher Is Usually Inefficient, States F. P. OBrier
Importance of Superintendent Stressed by University Professor
Professor
In the May issue of the Journal of Educational Research, F. P. O'Brien director of the school service and research work, had an article published on "The County Superintendent as supervisor of Intrusion."
The number and length of the visits made to the schools by superinvented were investigated, and this data is labelled in a table form. This shows that five schools are only visited once during the whole year. One-fourth of the schools were visited twice and 11 per cent were visited three times or more. Visits having an average length of four hours, and some were even longer.
He showed in this article how imi- portant a superintendent is in the promotion of public school efficiency, and how many inefficient teachers have been educated in the estimate," stated Professor OBrien in his article, "that one-third of the 113,000 pupils in the one- and two-teacher elementary schools are taught by superintended teachers and that more than half have had more than high school training."
Concerning the professional training of these superintendents, no facts were available. 40 per cent of them had never attended a summer school and that the 10 per cent which had attended had been in college for weeks, according to Professor O'Brien.
Professor OBrien closes his article with the salaries of the different superspecialists in the department. The median salary per year received by 74 county superintendents reported here was $1,824.08. This salary is equivalent to $127.95 per month for a county superintendent.
You are not being paid to do the work assigned you, your teacher, and guidance from professors who are here for your good. If then, you resort to classroom learning so you are only cheating yourself.
YOU ARE ON YOUR HONOR AT KANSAS. No one is going to watch you to see that you live up to that splendid tradition of honor that our Kansas forefathers have established. Those students who have completed their courses in this University have left us, and that it is ours to hold high.
Mermaida and men's Revue is the name of the water festival at the University of Missouri in which both men and women participate.
You are here to learn to serve the world in some capacity. You must understand the basis of your own knowledge "coped knowledge" will not be sufficient.
You are no longer a child,
You are to make your own
standards. Remember, you are
on your honor at Kansas.
