Johnson Placed On Probation For 'Visit'
L. F. Johnson, 25, an unwelcome sorority visitor from Oklahoma, is back home today after spending almost a week in the Lawrence jail.
Johnson pleaded guilty Monday morning in police court to charges of vagrancy and resisting arrest. He was fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail on each count. The jail sentences were suspended and he was put on probation for a year.
It was determined from a polygraph test Saturday that Johnson had been making periodic visits to the Gamma Phi Beta sorority house where he was found April 1.
Johnson, a former student at KU, admitted he cut holes in the attic ceiling "one summer" when the house was vacant so he could view the shower room below.
When Johnson was found in the attic, campus and Lawrence police were called. Johnson was subdued in a women's rest room in Lindley Annex after a short flight from the police.

Apply For Draft Test By Friday
The deadline to apply for the selective service college qualification test is Friday, Registrar James K. Hitt said today.
The test will be given by the Guidance Bureau May 1.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said only one test will be given this spring, with no opportunity to make up the test. Application forms are available in the registrar's office.
Mr. Hitt suggested every student registered for the draft take the test, including those in ROTC. He said the test scores could act as a form of insurance with the draft board in the event a student dropped out of the ROTC program.
Jayhawker Goes On Sale April 15
The third edition of the Jayhawker featuring campus activities and organizations will go on sale April 15. Tom Petitt, Topeka senior and Jayhawker editor, said the magazine will be sold at the campus information booth and the Jayhawker office in the Kansas Union. Sales representatives will take orders in organized houses.
The magazine cover has a photograph of a spring scene on the campus with overlaid art work. The final issue featuring senior pictures and queen finalists will go on sale May 15.
Skillman said he had hoped the boy would show up at Sigma Nu, his fraternity house, this morning to start classes, but no news of the missing student had been received at press time.
Skillman said he had no reason to believe there was any foul play involved in the disappearance.
Missed Appointment
Burns was reported missing by his father, George Burns, after the student failed to keep an appointment they had made for March 31. Mr. Burns said their son also failed to make his usual Wednesday night call home.
Mr. Burns was to have met his son at Strong Hall to talk to some of his instructors about classwork. Burns had received three downslips at midsemester.
'Seemed Dissatisfied'
Mr. Burns said his son did not seem despondent over the grades. Some of Burns' fraternity brothers said he had seemed dissatisfied with campus life. Mr. Burns said he and his wife thought the son was happy at KU, "but I guess that wasn't the case."
Burns left most of his clothes at the fraternity house. He cashed checks totaling $58 in Lawrence before his disappearance. Apparently no other checks have been cashed by Burns since the bank has received none.
Sigma Nu fraternity men said Burns talked of finding in Oklahoma or Florida. They said that Burns had a girl friend in Arlington, Va. A police check of these locations produced no results.
