APRIL FOOL—Kathy Cummings, Rushville, Mo, freshman, (left) and Anthony Daily Kansan editors. All the billfold (center) contained was a note informing the Vierthaler, Halstead junior, both took it lightly when informed that the billfold they luckless but observant finders that they had been badly tricked (Daily Kansan found in Fowler Grove this morning had been "planted" there by some April Fooling photos by Joel Saren)
April Fools' Gags Aplenty
Wayne Replogle, assistant football coach, has a good memory when it comes to recalling past April Fools' Day stunts which were pulled off at KU.
Four other faculty members questioned by a Daily Kansan reporter said they couldn't remember any stunts which occurred on the campus. But Mr. Replogle kept a reporter busy recording his yarns about pranks of times past.
For instance, there was the "water department" gag.
"Several years ago, someone posing as a representative of the city water department called a sorority house, informing the girls that the water would be turned off at 7 p.m. and could not be used until 10 p.m.," Mr. Replogle said.
"After 7 p.m., no one flushed any toilets or turned on water until someone discovered that it was on and had been on all the time."
"It happened to be a date night, and everyone was getting fixed up to go out. They were all hurrying to get water in pails before it was time to turn it off. Girls were running to other houses to wash and dress.
Mr. Replegle recalled some candy that was once passed around in one of his classes:
"The 'candy' was made of tiny chocolate-covered onions," he said. "There were also small red peppers coated with sugar."
In the early 1940's, "Someone went downtown and bought several colorful paper birds, which were fastened in a tree on campus," he said.
Then some local birders ran to the scene with cameras and took pictures, until they sneaked up close enough to see that the birds were not real.
Then some local bird-lovers were called.
"Students don't try many practical jokes in class, probably because they are afraid of retribution on the part of the professor," Replogle said.
But he said he recalled biscuits that were passed around which were hard to chew (they had cotton inside), and pepper-flavored taffy.
And then there was the time some enterprising "real estate agent" posted "For Sale" signs in the yards of some faculty residences. . . .
Our Father, the story of our Savior's suffering at the hands of his foes has touched our hearts with sympathy and sorrow. And yet we know that our sins are to him a fresh crown of thorns, and that our iniquities have nailed him anew to the cross. Help us, we pray Thee, to understand the cost of sin, and to seek to free our lives from the errors of flesh and spirit. May we not hesitate when to us there comes the summons to suffering and service. May we gain our place as children of God by fellowship with our Savior in the redemptive work of his life. We make this prayer in his name. Amen.

Today Last Issue Before Vacation

Local Reporter To Teach Class
Lee C. Sheppeard, local government affairs reporter for the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, has been named lecturer in journalism. He will conduct the remainder of this semester's Reporting II class taught by the late Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism.
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information said that Mr. Shepeard would give on-the-spot orientation and practical work in many phases of local government coverage in Lawrence.
Mr. Shepeard received a B.S. in journalism from KU in 1952. He has worked on the Salina Journal, served in the Army and joined the Journal-World staff in 1954.
Police came after the housemother had called. An air mattress, blanket and a rope hanging from a hole in the roof to the fire escape were found in the attic by the police.
The intruder jumped from the attic to the third-floor hallway when the police tried to subdue him and ran out of the house, across Crescent Road and into Lindley Annex where he was caught by the police.
The intruder was taken to Lawrence Memorial hospital for treatment after he fell down some steps and over a rock wall in his flight. The hospital reported he was in good condition. An officer at the hospital said the intruder refused to give his name or address.
