University Gets More Scholarships
Trust Fund Is Set Up By Jennie M. Donnelly To Establish Awards For Students
An undetermined number of scholarships, designed especially for deserving and needy students at the University of Kansas from Lawrence and Douglas county, but not necessarily from this city and county, are provided in the will of Jennie M. Donnelly, formerly of Lawrence. Miss Donnelly died recently in Kansas City, and her will was admitted probate Monday.
The residue of the estate, after a large number of bequests of $250, $500, and in a few instances larger, are paid to personal friends and relatives, and numerous modest bequests are made to Catholic schools and service agencies in Kansas and Missouri, will become a trust fund for scholarships at the University of Kansas. The First National bank of Lawrence has been designated as trustee, and provision is made that if the bank ceases to act as trustee, without successor, the District court of Douglas county shall designate a trustee, preferably some bank or trust company of Douglas county.
The will is specific in setting up the scholarships, yet is very flexible on its workings. The trustee is directed to invest the principle of the state in good state, federal, or municipal securities, and to pay out scholarships under directions of a Donnelley Scholarship committee.
The Donnelly Scholarship committee is to be appointed each year by the chancellor or other acting executive head of the University, and its decisions on scholarships shall be final. Its secretary shall advise the rustee of all awards made.
The donor recommends that scholarships be of $250 to $300, but leaves with the committee final determination of the exact amount.
"The committee shall consider the needs, character, ability and fitness to receive a higher education; his or her inclinations, intellectual inclinations, and other personal characteristics, the will reads.
Provision is made that the com- Continued on page 3

Trio to Play Concert Here
Combination of Flute,
Cello, and Piano Will
Offer Unusual Program
The Cincinnati Trio, composed of Ary Van Leeuwen, flutist, Fritz Bruch, cellist, and Miss May Estel Forbes, pianist, will present a concert at the University Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in Hoch auditorium.
This rare combination of flute, cello, and piano will offer a program of at least three trio groups, and each member of the trio will appear in a solo performance as well.
Leeuwen has assisted such celebrated vocal stars as Lily Pons, Galli-Curci, Gigli, Martinelli, and others. Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony, once referred to him as "the finest flutist in America." Bruch has traveled in many parts of the world as solo recitalist and as solist with the world's major symphony orchestras, as well as playing first cello in such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, and the Cincinnati Symphony. Miss Forbes is a teacher at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
Activity tickets will admit Summer Session students. General admission will be 50 cents.
Campus Patrolman
Cites Hill Traffic Laws
Camps parking rules go into effect Monday morning, it was announced yesterday by George Snyder, campus traffic partrolman. The presence of a large number of visitors for the Church of the Brethren conference complicated traffic during the past ten days..
Student ears must not be parked on the main drive during class hours, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but must be placed in the several parking lots. These include the drive along the eastern edge of the campus, and in front of Fraser; west of the library; north of Chemistry and Administration buildings, south and west of the engineering buildings.
It is much easier to take things as they come than to part with them as they go.
Officer Snyder requests all drivers to make special effort to "park close". The number of cars on the Hill this year is larger than ever, and care must be taken to utilize space to the best advantage. The officer warns, also, against parking in a way that obstructs other drivers.
Pi Lambda Theta in First Meeting
Pi Lambda Theta, honorary education sorority held its first meeting of the Summer Session yesterday afternoon in the Pine Room of the Memorial Union building.
Miss Mateel Rich, secretary to the dean of the School of Education, is president of the local chapter. Miss Maud Ellsworth, instructor in the School of Education, is vicepresident; and Mrs. Eileen F. Steele, instructor in the department of English is treasurer.
Graduates to Teach Here
Challis Hall, Loren McCormack, and Hubert Roberts, 1938 graduates of the School of Business will be assistant instructors in economics and accounting at K.U. next year. All three are members of Beta Gamma Sigma. McCormack and Roberts have also been Summerfield scholars. Hall is taking graduate work in economics at Harvard University this summer.
Summer Sessionites Are Eligible to Enroll For Credit
Band Camp To Start
"Summer Session students at the University are eligible to play in the band and orchestra of the third annual Mid-Western Music Camp to be held here for a six weeks session from June 20 to July 31." Russell L. Wiley, director of the University band and director of the music camp, announced late yesterday.

Band rehearsal will be held six days a week from 7:30 to 9:30 each morning. Orchestra rehearsal will be held five days a week, from Monday to Friday, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. All rehearsals will be held in Hoch auditorium.

There comes a time in every man's life when another word or two would help a lot. This time we needed this much for the column.

Marionettes Visit Campus
The Tatterman Troupe Presents "The Taming of the Shrew"
The Tatterman Marionettes will make their first appearance at the University in the presentation of "The Taming of the Shrew" by Shakespeare at 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening in Hoch auditorium.
The company which has been on the road for 15 years has appeared at many of the leading colleges and states. The puppeteers who are universities of the east and central experienced actors were selected from dramatic departments of leading universities and given intensive training in the marionette school. This is the Marionettes first appearance at the University. The advance notices and criticisms of the performance are unusually praiseworthy.
The performance will be open without charge to all regularly enrolled summer session students upon presentation of their activity ticket. To others, the admission price will be 50 cents.
K. U. Enrollment Ties '36 Record
The total enrollment figures for the present summer session has reached 1,252, according to the latest reports from the registrar's office. This ties the record enrollment at the University set in the summer session of 1936.
There is a possibility that the enrollment will break the former mark as the latest returns are not final.
Prof. Joseph Wilkins, tenor, and head on the Summer Session faculty this year for the first time and will be new to Summer Session audiences. Mr. Wilkins has sung extensively in concert and opera in Europe, America, and for four years was leading tenor with the Shubert Opera company, in such operas as "Die Fledermaus," "Blossom Time," and "The Desert Song." For two seasons he sang as leading tenor in the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company.
Miss Irene Peabody, mezzo-so-prano, assistant instructor in the department of voice; Waldemar Geltch, violinist, professor in the department of violin; and Raymond Stuhl, cellist, instructor in the department of violin will play solo numbers. Miss Allie Merle Conger, assistant professor in the department of piano, and Howard C. Taylor, professor in the department of piano, will open and close the program with numbers for two pianos.
Each of the succeeding programs to be presented this summer will consist of a group of light but nonethe-less well written musical selections in an attempt to give an hour's entertainment consisting of variety and interest. All concerts in this series are open to the public without cl. age.
