Ex-Gobs Place Claim For Refund of Money In Hands of Attorney
Lawyer Will Try to Collect from University for Sailors' Board
Allege $36 is Amount Due
Former Members of K. U. Nava Training Unit Meet to Push Collection
Warren E. Blasier, chairman of the Naval Welfare Committee, requests that those not present at the meeting be notified in writing of the signed statement of the actual number of days they did not eat at the expense of the University after October 1, or date of induction. These claims require to a Lawrence attorney for collection.
Twenty-five to thirty former members of the students' naval training unit at K. U. met at Marvin Hall on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the question of whether students were written statements of their claims against the University.
The whole question depends on the date the men actually began to eat at the barracks. Navy men allege that $26 is due them for food and lodging for those inducted October 1. According to the basis of settlement proposed by the University, they would receive but $13.50—six days' food at 75 cents a day and thirty-six days' lodging at 25 cents a day.
Funds from the government to set the claims on this basis, totaling $15,100, are expected daily by Karl Klooz, chief clerk of the University business office. The Naval Welfare Committee conferred recently with Chancellor Strong, who promised a thorough investigation of the Navy Claims.

furner Ranks as Freshman
Men Vote Unanimously to Retain McCanles as Band Leader— Will Circulate Petition
"There has been a difference of opinion as to who is cheerleader. The council made this decision so the students would know" said John Montett president of the Men's Student Council.
In the first regular meeting of the Men's Student Council Wednesday night it was decided that Fred Leach will continue as cheerleader the remainder of the year and Joe Schwarz not take office until next September.
The body took up the case of Harry Turner and decided that imasmuch as he had run for freshman president in January and had done no freshman duty he should wear his cap the remainder of the year. Turner said he was classified as a sophomore at present because he had more than thirty hours credit. The council passed the ruling that a student holds the same classification throughout the year to avoid such irregularities.
The council voted unanimously that J. C. McCain was retained as leader of the University Band at the salary he was receiving before the recent cut and acceptance of resignation took place. They will circulate petitions among the students to that effect. The band will sigh on a special petition.
