Mystery Hugs Band Deposit
The "case of the disappearing dance deposit" is still unsolved.
Mrs. Rusty Brown, wife of the band's leader, sent a telegram to the peep club the day of the dance.
She said her husband had suffered an abdominal attack and the engagement would have to be canceled.
He also said the club has contacted several law enforcement agencies who have told them that the matter is not in their jurisdiction. The club has also contacted the musician's union.
"We haven't had any pertinent developments. It's a hard thing to find someone who doesn't want to be found." Henning said.
She also said a letter of explanation and the deposit, half the cost of the band, would be sent to the pep club the next day. So far, neither has arrived in Lawrence.
"We have had very little cooperation from either the musician's union or the law enforcement agencies," Henning said.
The club has no definite plans about recovering the money.
"It is strictly a matter of con-
Greek Week Has Sauter-Finegan
The Sauter-Finegan Orchestra will play here March 21 for the Greek Week dance.
The band is headed by two of the country's top arrangers, Ed Sauter and Bill Finegan.
For over a decade Sauter ane Finegan have shaped the music played by more than a dozen top orchestras. They may have done more to establish the era of swing than any other music personalities of the time.
of the time.
Sauter was responsible for most of Benny Goodman's famous arrangements, and also wrote for Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Red Norvo, and Ray McKinley.
Finegan wrote countless musical scores for Tommy Dorsey and was the musical genius behind the Glenn Müller orchestra.
The launching of the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra in late 1952 on RCA-Victor records was hailed as one of the top musical events in years.

The pep club is not the only campus organization to have a band cancel. Bill Cronin, Kirkwood, Mo., junior and chairman of the Greek Week dance, said the Greeks have had two bands cancel.
Tuesday, March 10, 1959
The first band to cancel an engagement for the dance was the Les Elgart band. The band said it would be unable to make a tour through this area of the country.
A contract that had been signed and the deposit were returned to the Greeks.
The second band to cancel was

Prof. Crafton said that at meetings of the committee last spring and fall, hope was expressed that script writers would try to get out of the "established rut."
Atten Crafton, professor of speech and drama, answered a rumor that writers had to adhere to strict rules in the preparation of the skits.
"Is there any reason why a skit should not be different?" Prof. Crafton questioned.
A member of the Rock Chalk Revenue skit selection committee said yesterday that skits were not written according to any established regulations.
Crafton Denies Rumor of Revue Regulations
"There were no rules made concerning the scripts, and the houses knew that any off-color lines would run the risk of being marked down by the judges," he said.
Lynn Miller, Dodge City senior and the revue's producer, said:
"To my knowledge, there were no skits rewritten after acceptance this time." Prof. Crafton said.
"This year we realized a need for different types of skits. In the past, the revue was good, but people wanted a change. The Tau Kappa Epsilon skit was an example of this."
As to skit content, Barbara Lesh (Continued on Page 8)

Army 'Copters Sell Cadets
INSPECTION TIME—Judith Braudis, Macon, Mo., freshman gets ready to board one of the Army's helicopters.
The Army is making the "big sell" to members of the R.O.T.C. in a big way. Three helicopters were brought in to do the job.
The Army's object in transporting the whirlybirds here is to sell KU cadets on the idea of flying. The machines are on display south of Allen Field House.
One of the three helicopters is a reconnaissance model H-13. The vehicle cost the government $40,000 without any extras such as a radio, hooks, or slings. It will carry two people, the pilot and a passenger and is used by field commanders when they want to check their troops.
Another model, the H-19, is also on display. This is the same type helicopter being used on the TV program, "Whirlybirds." This model is most frequently used in air-sea rescue.
The H-19 model is equipped with a sling which will carry a ton of cargo. Another ton can be carried inside.
The largest of the helicopters on display is the H-21. This ship will carry 21 people. The ship is used to transport troops.
AWS Sets Date For Women's Day
The Associated Women Students Group has set April 28 as the date for All Women's Day, an annual project of the organization.
This year Hoch Auditorium has been reserved for the evening in order to have an honors program for women.
NCAA Finals to Be On TV If Sellout
A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, KU athletic director, has announced there will be television coverage of the final game of the NCAA Regional basketball tournament here Saturday only if there is a sellout crowd.
Mr. Lonborg, chairman of the NCAA tournament committee, said there definitely will not be local area TV coverage for Friday's game. Games may be televised back to local areas such as Cincinnati and Fort Worth (TCU) on both nights.
WIBW-TV, Channel 13, of Topeka will probably be the only area station to televise the Saturday title game, if a sellout is achieved, he said.
KU May Begin Major In Law Enforcement
A new curriculum to prepare students for careers in local, state and federal law enforcement agencies has been proposed by the department of sociology.
KU String Festival To Be Held Friday
The second annual KU String Festival will be held Friday in Hoch Auditorium for 200 instrumentalists from 10 Kansas high schools.
Prof. Robert Baustian, conductor of the KU symphony orchestra and the University Theatre productions will direct a public concert at 4 p.m.
Students Air Gripes About University
What is the most disgusting thing about KU in the eyes of students? Of the nine answers The Daily Kansas received to this question, only one girl had no complaint.
The gripes ranged from campus deficiencies to personal criticisms and opinions. One student went so far as to side with Gov. George Docking on the recent budget issue, and another condemned the dean of women.
All the respondents were asked the following question: "What in your opinion is the most disgusting thing about KU?"
"People who complain about the hospital and then won't turn their complaints in to me."—John Black, Pratt senior and chairman of the ASC Student Health Committee.
"Mid-semester exams, because I'm flanking out. I've had too many Rock Chalk practices. Not that I disagree with Rock Chalk, of course. It's been fun."—Martha Garrison, Wichita sophomore.
"Dean Emily Taylor. She seems autocratic. An iron-fisted ruler with her two cohorts, AWS and Pan-Hel."—(Name withheld by request.)
myself in there."—Gerald Renyer, Topeka freshman.
The lack of pavement behind Marvin Hall, in front of the engineering labs, and in the parking lots, especially in West Hills. Whenever it rains, you have to tramp through the mud. You ruin a clean pair of nants every day." -William Kopek, Kansas City, Kan., senior.
"The main thing is people who use the library for a sack-out period instead of studying. Although I shouldn't complain. I've dozed off
"Nothing is disgusting to me. I don't think everything is perfect, but I don't have any grips."—Mary Ann Cramm, Neodesh sophomore.
"I agree with Gov. Docking in that the University wastes an awful lot of time and an awful lot of money. From the observations I've made from the way things are run, a lot of people don't know what they are

doing. A lot of offices give the students a run-around on things they don't know about."—Nancy Gustafson, Lawrence sophomore.
Miss Gustafson listed a second complaint:
"The Housing Office with its approved apartment lists. Many places don't conform to the standards set up. It would appear that many student apartments and rooms haven't been inspected at all."-Terry Davis, Frontenace senior.
"Lawrence students and Lawrence freshmen going to summer school are considered completely oriented when they aren't. They don't even know their advisers! The Lawrence student is generally completely out of campus affairs."
However, Miss Meigs came up with a more serious problem. She said:
"What I really hate is getting up in the mornings for my 8 o'clock classes"—Marietta Meigs, Mission junior.
"I am an art student and my entire art supplies, including my tackle box, paper, paints, and so on, were stolen from third floor Strong. I left them on a bench in the hall for a couple of minutes and they were gone when I returned. They were worth about $401!"
E. Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology and human relations and chairman of the curriculum committee, said the proposed curriculum will be recommended to the department staff and will not be decided upon until sometime this month.
The Kansas City, Mo., Police Department plans to employ four students in clerical positions. This proposal depends on approval of finances which will be decided by May 1, according to Lt. Col. J. Gameson.
The four positions in the department will be: One in the planning department, two in the records and statistics department, and one in communications and radio, Col. Gameson said.
"This plan would encourage the growing field of law enforcement and encourage training in college. I think it would be helpful to us and to the students.
This is a liberal arts program with a major in sociology, Prof. Baur said. Courses in political science and public administration will be included. No new courses will be offered.
"We plan to go ahead if funds are available," he said.
"We are not giving courses on how to be a cop," Mr. Baur said. This is a pre-professional course and other technical training will be necessary before one becomes a law enforcement officer, he concluded.
