Holy Carats! Thief Imitates Batman
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — (UPI)— It was easy to tell it wasn't the "real Batman" that stole a $100,000 diamond ring from Mrs. Cantor, police Lt. William McCutecheon said. "He wasn't wearing a cape."
Mrs. Samuel Cantor, 60, also knew it wasn't the real Batman that held a "big black gun" on her
KU Indian Bureau Helps In Testing
The Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior and the KU Bureau of Educational Research and Service unified forces in December 1950, to set up a testing program and plan research projects for Indian schools throughout the nation.
Kenneth E. Anderson, now dean of the School of Education, directed the project. E. Gordon Collister, director of the Guidance Bureau, assisted him.
in a restaurant parking lot at 5:15 p.m. Thursday and snatched a 15-carat blue-white diamond ring from her finger.
He was wearing a Batman-type mask, a tight black shirt and tight black pants. He also had a big black gun and escaped in a speedy black car, which turned out to have been stolen just hours before the robbery.
Mrs. Cantor told police the bandit approached her and her husband in the parking lot, pulled the gun, and said: "Mrs. Cantor, I want that ring."
"He ordered us to get into our car and said that 'if you make a move, I'll kill you.'" she said.
Then he snatched the ring from her finger, leaped into his car, roared out of the lot and vanished in traffic. Police found the car abandoned several blocks away.
Students Want Raises But Are Wary of Union
A sampling of student workers reveals that most are in favor of raising pay but some are skeptical of how effective the Student Labor Organization (SLO) will be.
Student opinion was hard to find. Most of those questioned yesterday did not know about the SLO, did not know enough to form an opinion, or declined to comment. Only one student interviewed was a member of the organization.
THOSE WHO DID MAKE a statement generally liked the idea of a pay raise. One cafeteria worker felt "competition for jobs would increase and the level of work expected would jump."
for students who need them. If wages were raised this would cease," he said.
The only SLO member questioned was Dave Putman, Leawood sophomore and switchboard operator at Templin, a men's residence hall. Putman said he works for low pay because he needs the job but could better use his time for study.
Kent Cooper, Oswego junior, who works at the periodicals desk of Watson Library, said a wage raise would be appreciated but "not at the risk of endangering the amount of jobs available.

CHRISTOPHER ENGLISH, a married St. Louis senior and cafeteria worker, said the wage raise idea is very good but "it is a hard thing to try to supplement the income of a family of three on 80 cents an hour."

The intentions of the SLO to raise wages are good, said Jeff Bohndorf, Kansas City senior, but "their membership must increase quite a bit before the University will pay attention to its existence."
Has the Volkswagen fad died out?
Yes.
But it was an unnerving experience while it tasted.
Because after we introduced our completely sensible car, people ran out and got it for completely frivolous reasons.
The first people bought Volkswagens just so they could be the first people to have one.
And a lady in Illinois had one because it looked cute beside her "real" car.
However, the faddists soon found out that the bug wasn't an expensive $1681 toy, but a cheap $1681 car.
As a fad, the car was a stop:
(When you drive the latest fad to a party, and find 2 more fads there ahead of you, it catches you off your avant-garde.)
But as a car, the VW was impressive:
Once people took the bug's good points for granted, it became the bestselling car model in history.
If you had to go someplace, it took you. Even when some cars wouldn't. And when you got there, you could park it. In places where other cars couldn't.
And that's when the VW fad ended.
