$15,000 Offered For Prize Essay
An essay contest, in character similar to the Hattie Elizabeth Lewis Essays in Applied Christianity at the University of Kansas but of more extended scale, is offered by Lake Forest College, Illinois. Whereas the Kansas essays are limited to 5,000 words, and have prizes up to $100, the "Bross Competition" of Lake
ast College is offering a prize of
$1,500 for a 50,000 word essay.
The offer is for the best book or manuscript heretofore unpublished, on the connection, relation and mutual bearing of the humanities, the social sciences, the physical sciences, the biological sciences, or any branch of knowledge, with and upon the Christian Religion. The award is to be made on or after Jan. 1, 1940.
The Foundation was planned by William Bross in an agreement in 1879, and consummated at his death in 1890. This will be the fifteenth unit in the Bross Library, the first of which is "Evidences of Christianity," by Mark Hopkins.
Mail Annual Publication Thirteen Hundred Are Distributed to Scientific Organizations
Thirteen hundred copies of "Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science", Volume 40, of which Dr. W. J. Baumgartner is managing editor, and which were distributed this week, contained contributions from 15 members of the faculty and graduate students of the University.
Distribution of the publication was effected through the various school libraries. More than 200 copies were mailed to scientific societies in the United States and about 180 copies to foreign societies aside from the regular exchange mailing list.
Members of the faculty who contributed are: Dr. J. W. Baumgartner, professor of zoology and managing editor of the publication; A. W. McCullough, instructor of zoology; Otto W. Tiemeier, instructor of zoology; M. W. Mayberry, instructor in botany; Donald J. Obee, instructor in botany; W. C. Stevens, professor of botany; R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry; Dr. H. W. Horr., associate professor of botany; and V. H. Weaver, instructor in electrical engineering.
Graduate students of the University who contributed are: Ward Witherspoon, Sister Agnes Marie Horner, Ludwig Dashen, Arthur Bidwell, Grace C. Kerchen, and Joseph Tihen.
F. C. Gates, professor of botany at Manhattan State College, is editor-in-chief of the annual publication. This issue was dedicated to Albert B. Reagan.
Four Teachers Get Placements
Four new placements were recently made through the teachers appointment bureau, according to H. E. Chandler, director of the bureau are as follows: Lucilleville A.B. '38, will teach mathematics and physical education at Wilson; Ruth Barnard, A.B. '35, will teach English in Caney; Frances Varvel, A.B. '36, will teach in the grade schools in Lawrence; and Elleen Steele, M.S.E. '36, will teach English in Barstow School in Kansas City, Mo.
Junket Affords Trip To Moon
Telescope to Be Used; Astronomical Apparatus Will Be Explained
A trip to the moon via telescope is planned for summer sessionites attending the junket this evening starting at 7:45 o'clock at the observatory.
R. Stanley Alexander, assistant instructor in physics, will demonstrate and explain the use of various astronomical apparatus which includes a sidereal clock used by astronomers to measure time by the stars.
Visitor will have an opportunity to see the moon through the 6-inch telescope in the small dome. "It is impossible to magnify the image of a star," said Mr. Alexander. "While planets and the moon appear as discs and a great deal of detail can be shown through the telescope, a star is seen only as a point of light."
A 27-inch telescope which is used only for photographic purposes, and the spectroscope which breaks the light into its component colors and next to the telescope is probably the most powerful instrument used in astronomy, will be on display for visitors. From data obtained by using the spectroscope it is possible to determine the motion, temperature, chemical composition, and distance of stars.
If cloudy skies interfere with observations of the moon, other activities at the observatory will be substituted for the junketeers.
Johnson, Dean At Wisconsin U.
F. Ellis Johnson, member of the University of Kansas faculty from 1915 to 1930, ar. head of the electrical engineering department when he took a position on the faculty of the University of Missouri, has just been appointed dean of the college of engineering at the University of Wisconsin. Dean Johnson received degrees from Wisconsin in letters and engineering, the latter in 1909. While a student he was stroke on the Varsity crew, president of Y.M.C.A., and member of Iron Cross. He taught at Rice institute before coming to Kansas.
Housing Program Will Be Continued
Successful Week at Music Camp Success Week at Music Camp
N. De Rubertis completed a successful week of teaching in the music camp with two concerts Sunday. Mr. De Rubertis was the first of a group of guest conductors who will work with the students.
"I am highly satisfied with the work of the students," Mr. De Rubertis is reported to have said. A master of applied psychology, he asks rather than demands co-operation with his students. He enjoys working with young players rather than with professionals. The young

players have no aim other than to produce good music.
Character analysis will be the chief feature of the fourth annual conference of the Department of Speech and Dramatic Art to be held at the University July 12 to 14 in the Little Theater in Green Hall. Prof. Robert Calderwood of the department of dramatics will give a lecture and demonstration in character analysis. A well known character will be selected and its development traced through a manuscript. He will show by the proper reading of lines how far reading will go to interpret a character. Then, by facial expressinos, gestures, and general bearing, Professor Calderwood will show how the thoughts and feelings of a character may be made more vivid. If time permits, a practical demonstration in play casting will be given.
However Mr. De Rubertis does work with professional musicians. He is head of the American College of Music of a kNsas City, teachers instrumental music at St. Marys College at Leavenworth, and is director of the Kansas City Orchestral School.
Owing to the general approval of both students and landlords the University Housing Program, instituted last fall by the student governing associations and the administration, will be continued with few modifications during the school year 1938-39, it was announced yesterday by the Housing committee.
Other topics of discussion will be "Debating" by Prof. E. H. Bueller, professor of speech and dramatic art; and a round table discussion of "Problems in Acting and Production" lead by Professor Calderwood. The informal way in which these conferences have been Conducted in the past has proved encouraging to those instructors who wish to place their play production problems before one who is an authority on the subject.
To Analyze Character
Inquiries and suggestions for the conference should be directed to Professor Calderwood, or to the University Extension Division.
Calderwood and Buehler Lecture at 4th Annual Conference
A general listing fee of 50 cents will be charged to those landlades whose rooms were approved last year. This will entitle them to all of the

privileges of the program and allow the University to inspect their rooms from time to time. A list of approved rooms will be mailed to new students about August 15. Such lists will be available to returning students in the respective Rooms Bureaus, and it will be urged that students live only in approved rooms.
For those who did not participate in the program last year, an initial fee of $1 will be charged. This will cover the initial inspection and listing in addition to the above services.
As last year, general cleanliness, ventilation, and heating facilities will be given special stress. It is necessary to be stricter in the requirements, and a number of the houses listed last year will probably be refused approval. Small, low-ceiling third floor rorms will be discriminated against, as will basement rooms. The State Fire Marshal's Office has asked the co-operation of the Rooms Bureau in enforcing the fire laws. The householders should understand that fire-escapees, required for all 3-story houses, are in the interests of public safety.
All applications must be accompanied by the fee and should be mailed to the Men's Rooms Bureau, or to the office of the Adviser of Women, respectively. In order to better facilitate handling the listing and inspecting, applications should be submitted as soon as convenient. No applications will be taken by telephone, thus eliminating the possibility of error. Actual work will begin on the program July 11 for the Mens Rooms and somewhat later for women's rooms. The deadline for applications is August 10.
Approval of a rooming house is good only to the person to whom it is issued at the address to which it is issued. In no case, even though approval be denied, will fees be refunded. A dated card of approval will be given to those houses passed, but this may be revoked during the year for adequate reason by the
