Student Court Acts On Traffic Tickets
Many are the unhappy recipients of parking tickets who have loudly protested their innocence. Many of these same students have grudgingly paid the fine and forgotten about the whole thing. However, there is a place where disgruntled students can appeal—the Student Court.
"The court is very interested in all student problems and welcomes the opportunity to attempt to settle them satisfactorily," said John G. Napier, Wichita third-year law student and chief justice of the court.
There has been an increase this year in the number of cases handled by the court, he said, probably due to the increase in fines for traffic violations which has prompted more students to appeal their

However, the court's jurisdiction extends beyond considering appeals for traffic violation fines. The Student Court has jurisdiction over all cases arising among students or student groups at the University.
In addition to Napier those serving on the court this year are Floyd Jensen, Bird City, Thomas Hampton, Salina, Sara Renner, Goodland, Charles Hedges, and Kermit Beal, Lawrence, all second-year law students, and Gerald
The chief justice of the court is appointed by the dean of the School of Law and the six associate justices are appointed by the student body president with the approval of the All Student Council.

Homer's Epics Topic Of Talk
James A. Notopoulos, Hobart professor of classical languages at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., will give a lecture, "Homer's Recitation of His Epics," before the KU chapter of the Archeological Institute of America. The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. April 7 in the Kansas Union Pine Room.
Prof. Notopoulos will use tape recordings of oral epics sung by poets and minstrels of mountain villages in Crete, Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia.
Many of the epics are so new they tell of Greece's struggle against the German invaders of World War II. The recordings were made during his recent visit to Greece as a Guggenheim fellow.

Robert L. Cross, Overland Park junior and vice-president of the chapter, said that Prof. Notopoulos' schedule required that his KU lecture be held during the spring vacation.
Durwood E. McCabe, building engineer, said the new sections, also brown, will cover 700 square feet of floor space. The asphalt pieces are 18 by 24 inches.
New Flooring Due For Union Lounge
The Kansas Union middle lounge will get a new floor covering during spring vacation to replace the dark brown tile laid in 1927.
The job is scheduled to be finished by the time students return from vacation. Mr. McCabe said workmen might be able to get the old tile out in a day, but the time it takes will depend on what they find when they start digging.
4 Students Enter Speech Tourney
Four KU students are at Wichita University to participate in the Missouri Valley Forensics League tournament, which runs today through Saturday.

"It upholds a fast-fading tradition in the oratory contest. The participants are required to wear formal tuxedo dress during their presentation," he added.
