Students May Finish Early at K U
Superior students at Kansas University may graduate faster as the University Senate limits undergraduate course loads to 15 percent of required credit hours, with exemptions possible. The rule preserves no fixed cap, relying on faculty approval and student ability, while senior faculty and deans govern. Also, a prison broadcast near Harmony, Texas, was delayed when a prison band saxophonist agreed to serve an extra day, extending the show.

Bounty Claims On Coyotes Filed In County Court
Coyotes hunters are busier with 85 bounty claims filed in the county clerk office during the first quarter. In 1955 the total was 78 for the same period. County records show the first quarter is the best for hunters, with many claimants turning in one or two ears per coyote. Donald Cain of Route 4 led in 1955 with 29 sets, and the county pays $2 per coyote killed.

William Bowers Announces State Senate Candidacy
Ottawa attorney William S. Bowers, 38, longtime Republican leader and second district chairman, plans to run as the GOP candidate for state senator from the Miami Franklin County district.
