granted to all veterans. Unless
the above office is notified the
leave will be granted, which will
result in reducing the total period
of eligibility by 15 days.
In this connection it is pointed
out that when the veteran's per
iod of eligibility expires before
the middle of a quarter his tuition
and subsistence cease as of the
date of expiration.
However, should his period of
eligibility expire after the middle
of a quarter both tuition and sub
sistance are paid to the end of
that quarter. The veteran should
keep this in mind in deciding
whether to accept or reject the
prof erred 15 days leave.
In cases where the veteran is
entering Summer school and
there is not sufficient time be
tween the spring quarter and the
summer session the 15 days leave,
less the number of days between
the sessions, will be added to his
subsistance at the end of the
summer session.
Veterans under both PL 346
and PL 16 need not report to the
Veterans Adviser at the end of
the Spring quarter. All veterans

Drummer Spends More
Krupa Says Loud Swing Era Has Subsided
Gene Krupa, that ace drum-?
mer man, learned to manipulate
a pair of drumsticks almost as
early as he mastered the use of
a knife and fork, and worried his
parents because' he preferred the
former.
Krupa will appear here for a
concert and the Senior Prom on
May 15. Accompanying the drum
mer will be a cast of performers
including singers Buddy Hughes
and Dolores Hawkins, ably sup
ported by the Jazz Trio with
Charlie Kennedy on the alto sax
and Teddy Napoleon at the pi
ano. WThen it comes to beating the
tom-toms, Krupa is generally
conceded to be the fastest man
in the business, and according to
health authorities, he expends as
much energy in working as do
athletes in pursuing strenuous
sports.
Poetry Contest Rules
Get Slight Revision;
Judges Are Selected
Dr. Mary C. Engstrom and Dr.
Lyman Cotten, professors of Eng
lish here, and R. W. Madry, di
rector of the University News
bureau, have been selected to
judge the 1949 Yackety Yack
poetry contest, according to Yack
Editor Bill Duncan.
A slight change in the contest
rules has also been announced by
Duncan. The poem must now in
clude five phases of student life,
the University, extra-curricular,
classes, athletics and social.
According to Duncan, "Anyone
wishing a fuller explanation of
the idea for the poem may see me
in the Yack office in Graham
Memorial anytime from 3 to 5
o'clock Mondays and Thursdays."
Dialectic Senate
Defeats Measure
To Stop Lobbying
A bill to abolish lobbying in
the national capitol was defeated
by the Dialectic Senate Wednes
day night. The bill defined lobby
ing as "the act of proposing and
pushing, through any means,
legislation designed to benefit a
certain group or interest."
The bill was presented by Sen.
Charles O. Long. Very strong op
position called such a bill 'uncon
stitutional" and said that it "takes
away freedom of speech."
Richard Bowen offered an
amendment which added that
lobbying should be prohibited in
the state capitols. The amend
ment failed.
Gran Childress called the pro
posed bill "a hindrance to an
important function in state legis
lature." A substitute was pro
posed whereby lobbying would
be permitted with certain condi
tions, such as in newspapers,
special pamphlets, on the radio.
This bill was also defeated.
Robert Nelson then proposed
a substitute which would outlaw
anyone trying to stop lobbying.
This bill was also defeated.
Childress arose again and spoke
for the original bill. He blamed
his change of mind on a "change
of heart." This change climaxed
the evening.
The original bill was finally de
feated by a large majority and
the Senate adjourned.
KAPPA EPSILON
New officers for. Kappa Ep

sorority were elected at a meet
ing Wednesday. Heading the or
ganization will be Jean Snyder,
who replaces Lynn Blanchard, as
president. Virginia Callahan is
vice president; Jane Bradford,
secretary; and Peggy Simmons,
pledge mistress.
Tests show that when Krupa
beats out a hot swing chorus he
exerts more energy than a mile
runner, a fleet halfback or the
fastest tap dancer. Musically
speaking, drumming requites far
more energy than any other in
strument. Krupa drops as much as three
pounds in a day's playingnd he
has to eat like a farm hand to
maintain his weight of 142
pounds. He has ruined so many
suits with 'perspiration that -he
has lost count.
Though the foremost exponent
of the drums and cymbal, Krupa
is the first to say that the era of ',
blatant swing has subsided.
"Not that the good jazz tune
is gone," says Gene, "It's Still a
big thing, but at least 60 per
cent of the music orchestras play
today should be fashioned for
dancers.' I believe the best thing

stress put upon a good solid rhy

rhythm men shouldn't bury the

and then enrolled at St, Joseph's
college in Rennselaer, Indiana,
to study for the priesthood.
Though he tried hard, Gene
could never lose the drumming
itch. He finally dropped the
course and signed up with Joe
Kayser's band in Chicago, then
toured the circuit as free lance
drummer with vagabond mid'

His big break came in 1929
when Krupa hit New York to cym- I

Student Legislature
Postpones Action
On Block Fee Bill
By Gordon Huffines
The Student Legislature
postponed action last night on
a resolution introduced by
Jack Girard, chairman of the
joint investigating Finance
committee, to raise student
fees 75 cents a quarter.
The resolution, which was sent
into committee, would also give
the President of the Student
Body authority to consult with
the University administration
and Board of Trustees on the
proposed increase.
The action was recommended
by the Finance committee to pro
vide for a $5,426 deficit which
will result in the operation of
the 1948-49 campus budget as it
stands now. By raising graduate
student fees from $3.85 to $4.6i
a quarter and undergraduate fee.
to $5.75, the committee estimates
that student government income
for the forthcoming fiscal year
will provide for errors made in
drawing up the budget.
Dedmond's Statement
Appearing before the legisla
ture, President Jess Dedmond
told student representatives that,
in view of constitutional limita
tions on raising student fees, it
would be advisable to postpone
any conclusive action on the
postponed increase until after
July 1 at which time the Audit
board would have investigated
general student funds.
Dedmond asserted, however,
that he didn't consider the doo
closed on immediate action on
the situation this quarter. "I am
considering the advisability of
an immediate increap," he stated,
"but 7 hope that the situatiou
will be such that a student ref
erendum will not be necessary
before next December."
Consiitulional Reference
According to Article 1 Sec
tion 5 of the student constitu
tion, "The Student Legislature
shall not alter the fee structure
for a given school year later
than April 1 of the school year
immediately preceding.' The
Constitution also states that to
tal student fees for a calendar
year shall not exceed $20 unless
changed by a student referendum.
Dedmond stated last night that
he was waiting for a decision of
the Student council on the $20
limit.
Girard Warns
Reporting on the budget for
the forthcoming year, Girard
warned legislators that the unap
propriated balance of $1,420
would not permit generous tcon
tributions to campus organiza
tions. In a resolution read to the leg
islature, he urged the assembly
to require financial reports from
organizations expending student
funds and to insist that all
groups operate within their bud
