Careful Driver 'Soaked' $25 For His Pains
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Mar. 19— (UP)—John Dyer, 49, paid a $25 fine and costs today to a justice of the peace for driving: without a license, but that wasn't the way it started out.
I>ver signaled carefully and made a neat right turn here under the watchful eyes of a deputy sheriff. The sheriff decided this was just the man to receive the first safe driver award being handed out by Sheriff Ralph Paul.
The deputy flagged Dyer to the side of the highway to give him a small metal coin attesting to his driving ability, learned he didn't have a license, and hauled him into court. The fine followed.
He didn't get the award, either.

Killer MacLeod Wows Multitudes
by Alice Katem
With a rollicking court trial Kappa Alpha Theta copped first prize in the annual Coed Capers last night.
Janet MacLeod as a sultry murderess brought the house down with her singing and stepping.
Second place went to Delta Gamma for a jungle, fantasy that was filled with color, tropical flowers, and the beat of tom-toms.
A clever revue that turned the tables on draft-conscious college men rated third prize for Alpha Omicron Pi.
KDs Get Mention
Kappa Delta received honorable mention for a circus-happy skit that won the audience over with the antics of its phosphorescent clowns.
All the women's groups outdid themselves this year with short shows that were much more lavish than in previous years. The competition was keen and the judging close.
Alpha Delta Pi and Zeta Tau get credit for well-worked out dance routines, one set in Manhattan and the other in the South Seas.
Judge Sounds Off
Theta's court, which was trying to decide who killed Maggie, featured outstanding acting by Nancy Hazeltine and Ann Vierhus as the loud-voiced judge.
Walnut-stained Dee-Gees played their own music on jungle drums and wore cleverly-made costumes.
AOPis proved themselves to be good quick-change artists when they shifted from civies to uniforms on being informed that women were to be drafted. A rasping voiced sergeant turned :n a raucous performance.
An effective silhouette skit was put on by the Red Cross at half-time. appealing for ski patrolers, gray ladies, civilian defense aides, and blood donors.
Off-Stage Murder Some off-stage entertainment was provided by two cut-ups who carried out a murder struggle on the heights of Bovard’s outside fire escape.
Many of the skits suffered from technical difficulties when musical accompaniments failed, loudspeak er bugs drowned out singing voices, curtain cues were missed, and when, as always, an appreciative audience unnerved the amateurs with interruptions.
Tollis Compton Zuber was general chairman of the event; Helen Daxer made auditorium arrange-

Dr. Ludwig J. Marcuse, professor of German and philosophy, walked from “darkness into light” yesterday, but had a hard time doing it. Explained Dr. Marcuse:

Then it happened.
Nice Students “The students were very nice,” ihe said. “They picked me up and one took me to the health service.” Dr. Marcuse had fallen through the glass window next to the glass doors at the main entrance of Founders hall.
His left leg was bleeding from cut received on the broken glass.

A switch in expected grade qualifications has removed M!ary Jo Aleson from the AWS secretary run-off ballot and has placed third-place candidate Carmen Perez in the running, Elections Commissioner Carolyn Schiller announced yesterday.
As a result of Miss Aleson's disqualification, Miss Ferez and Barbara, Barnhouse, remaining top candidate in last week's AWS election, will vie for the post in a run off Apr. 3 and 4 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Miss Aleson has a cumulative grade average of 1.5, Miss Schiller explained, but her average for the preceding semester was .05 below the required 1.3.
An instructor had promised to raise one of her grades. Miss Aleson said, but was unable to do so because of a ruling from the reg-trar's office. When this became known, she dropped from the running.
‘Others were in the same situation and were running pending grade changes,” Miss Schiller said, “but none of these candidates were elected.”
Since the AWS constitution requires that a candidate receive a majority vote to be elected, a runoff between the two top candidates is necessary, Miss Schilling explained.
His knee was swollen, but X-rays showed no bones were broken.
Recalling the similar experience last year of Dr. Russell L. Caldwell, assistant professor of history, who had two teeth knocked out when he hit, but did not break the same pane, Anthony D. Lazzaro, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said the university architect is thinking of sand blasting the window to make it distinguishable from the doors.
The accident occurred at 10:30 a.m., and the glass was replaced by 5 p.m., Lazzaro said. The replacement cost $43.
Reached at his home yesterday evenmg, Dr. Marcuse said he had returned to classes in the afternoon, but that later the real shock of the experience came.
"Now I feel miserable,” he said. “I'm resting and expect to be better tomorrow'.”

Purpose Made Clear
The planning committee for the program which Included Milnor Alexander, associate director of the YWCA Robert Bobilin, director of Friends International house, and John Walker, university pastor of the Westminster Foundation, made clear the purpose of the series.
As participants In making decisions that affect the policy of our government in foreign affair* it is impossible for us as citizens to be intelligent unless we are clear about the situation we face, the motivation and methods of the Communists and of our owm. This takes real thought and willingness to get behind surface propaganda. It is possible that we fear the Russians because we do not understand them and consequently feel that we do not know how to deal with them,” they said.
Leaders Available
mittee are Elva Soper, Rosalie Bcttorf, and Bill Kennedy. This committee will choose nominees for Unity, the independent^ student’s party, said Wexler.

MacArthur Ponders 38th
TOKYO, Mar. 19— (UP)—Some quarters here today believed that unless the United Nations acts quickly, Gen. Douglas MacArthur will conclude there is no objection to the Allies crossing the 38th parallel in Korea again.
Military necessity may force MacArthur to make hds own decision about the crossing. All reports here indicated the Allied troops might reach that line before UN diplomats reach a decision.
The urgency was mounting hourly. Korean reports hinted that the Reds had abandoned Chunchon, their last big base ln South Korea. The Allies were massed in force at five points 17 miles from the frontier. Patrols ranged far ahead. One U. S. officer said tank patrols “probably could go all the way to the parallel any time they wanted to.”
The supreme commander has said he will not send his troops across the border if there is any “reasonable possibility” of limitations being placed on the crossing.
