Naismith Field House Fund Dr. F. C. Allen reports the first contribution toward a field house for the University. During Rush Week Wesley H. Loomis, Jr., fs’05, was on the campus and he handed Dr. Allen a five dollar bill to be used in starting a fund to build a great building for basketball, track and other indoor activities. He wants it named for the inventor of basketball, Dr. James Naismith. He is especially interested in seeing some \ worthy memorial erected to the great figure ‘who has served the University so long so well. “oe Continue Cunningham Lectures Glenn Cunningham, ed’34 lecturer for the University Extension Bureau, faces a heavy schedule this year. From Omaha, Neb., on Sept. 18 to Ft. Worth, Texas, just before Christmas, he will cover the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri with an aver- age of twelve lectures a week. Jan. 1 at New Orleans he will run his first race of the year, and for the following three months will be in the East, lecturing during the week and running most week ends. Glenn and his family spent part of the summer on a farm near Peabody, where he rested and regained some lost weight. He had been planning to try for a place on the 1940 Olympic team and will still do so if the Olympics are held. “owe Gifts to Medical School Several gifts to the University of Kansas School of Medicine were announced by Dean H. R. Wahl late in the summer. Largest of these was a private gift of $5,000 from Mrs. Logan Clendenning for completing the third floor of Hixon Laboratcry, furnishing and equip- ping it for a museum and library for medical study. Mrs. Clendenning had previously con- tributed another $5,000 toward this labor- atory, which is now ready for occupancy. A Federal grant of $3,980 for research in osteomyelitis comes through the State Board of Social Welfare. Dr. Wahl and Dr. J. B. Weaver will have charge of the work. The Breon Research fellowship, started last year by George Breon, head of a Kansas City pharmaceutical company, has been continued this year It carries a grant of $1,500. The children’s building, made possible by a gift, and the ward for negroes were both opened this fall. Ooe Feminine Drum Major Leads A girl baton twirler—and a national champ- ion at that—is the latest addition to the K.U. band. Freshman Saralena Sherman of Topeka has monopolized first place in state and na- tional band contests of the past two or three years. She turned down a scholarship offered her by a Texas university for baton twirling to attend the University of Kansas. Saralena learned the art of twirling from a cousin in Boston. Hours of patient daily practice are the price she pays for her dexterity. She has many batons, including a fire baton which is soaked in gasoline and lighted. With the help of her father she developed and patented an electric baton with colored lights concealed in the balls of each end. This baton 7, drew an attendance of 418 high school stu- dents and 43 teachers. Round table discus- sions on high school newspaper problems were varied by talks from Henry J. Haskell, Kansas City Star editor, Doris Kent, ’37, Athenia sur- vivor, and Tom Collins, columnist. Chancel- lor Malott was guest of honor and speaker at the banquet. “owe Grades of the Groups Order of the Coif, honorary law fraternity, pushed Phi Beta Kappa out of first place last year in the race for organization scholastic hon- ors. The report released Oct. 4 by George O Foster, registrar, shows a 2.68 average for the lawyers, 2.56 for the wearers of the key. Women piled up higher averages than men, sorority and fraternity members had a slight edge on independent students. The entire University average was 1.32, as compared with 1.33 last year. (Figures are compiled, as usual, by allowing 3 points for an A, 2 for a B, 1 for a C, none for D, minus 1 for F.) Sigma Kappa led sororities, with Kappa Al- pha Theta second. Highest fraternity average was that of Sigma Alpha Mu, second that of Beta Theta Pi. Phi Delta Kappa (mens education fraternity) led professional groups, with Theta Sigma Phi (women’s journalism) coming in second. Among the athletes the tennis squad took scholastic honors with an average of 1.80. Wo- men’s athletic groups took second and fourth places, with the golf squad third, and the other squads lining up as follows: basketball, swimming, “K”’ Club, Track, Baseball, and Football.
