Foxy Fox
Fails To Fox
Fox Hunters
By CHARLES KNIGHT
A wild animal chase caused ex
citement in the South Gate area
Tuesday night.
It all started when Mrs. B. D.
Marburger, of 411 South Mont j
Clair, heard something knocking
objects in the attic. She turned on
the attic light and went up to in
vestigate. As she got to the top of
the attic stairs she saw a huge fox
disappear into a dark corner.
She called Raymond Rogers, city
manager, and a student living
near-by.
After a thorough search in the
attic and throughout the house,
they spotted the, fox under the
house, with only ope opening for
his escape. ‘
After a 40 minute chase under
the house and with the aid of flash
light and a shotgun, they disposed
of the 25-pound gray fox.
Rogers said that the fox acted
as if it might be rabid. That can
not be determined since it was
shot in the head, he said.

Students Can Make
Book Suggestions
■ 1 i j \
Students who wish tb have the
library purchase some particular
book should make recommendations
to the library personnel, Dr. Ralph
Steen has announced. Dr. Steen is
head of the Student Life Commit-!
tee group which is handling the
fund for this'purpose.
The fund cannot be used to ob
tain scientific or technical books,
but any other type book probably
will be acceptable for purchasing
Dr. Steen added. If the person who
recommends a book wishes to be
notified when the book arrives at
the library, a notice will be sent
him upon its arrival, the commit
tee head said.
No postage will be required if
the student places his recommen
dation in an envelope and sends! it
to the Cushing Memorial Library
through the faculty exchange, Dr.
Steen reported. A form for send
ing in recommendations can bo

James L. Liverman told the enm-
mittee that the programs for the
Open House, Mother's Day weekend
had gone to press. The Ross Volun
teers were able to sell enough ad
vertising to pay for only 8,000 cop
ies of the program, Liverman said.
The committee discussed the pos
sibilities of supplementing the
Ross Volunteer funds to the extent
that at least 12,500 of the pro
grams could be printed.
Special Meeting Possible
Liverman and Whatley were re
quested to secure information con
cerning the cost of the additional
4,500 copies. If necessary the Open
House Committee will have a spe
cial meeting this evening at five
to decide if the extra copies should
be ordered.
Dean Penberthy told the com
mittee that enough students had
volunteered to address the senior
groups in approximately 200 of
the 700 high schools in the state.

Large Senior Ring
Shipment Arrives
The largest order of senior rings
since spring -1942 arrived here
Tuesday for distribution. 607 reg
ular rings and 44 minature rings
composed the shipment.' r
All but about 90 of the rings
were of “the biggest and the black
est” variety. The sites varied from
7 to 14%, but 9% was predomi
nant.
Classes of ’31 and ’32 were the
earliest represented in the ring
distribution, but these were re
placement rings. Class of ’40 was
the earliest class ring in the ship
ment delivered other than for re
placement purposes. ’49 was the
class best represented in the'order
according to Mrs. George Bauer,
ring clerk, who said the fifth and
sixth Class of ’6t rings ordered
were in this shipment.
This was the second largest ship
ment ever received, Mrs. Bauer
said. Because of the number of
rings to be distributed, a special
room in the basement was assigned
I for the ring distribution.
