Ruth Spindler Places First in Music Contest
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1931
National Federation Prize Is Given to Student of University
A signal honor in the field of music has come to Miss Ruth Spindler of Garnett, a student in the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas, who has been awarded first place in the national contest in organ at San Francisco.
Miss Spindler has been a leader in many ways while at the University of Kansas, and expects to return next year to continue advanced work in organ and to obtain a second degree in piano. She is a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, honorary musical sorority, and of Mortar Board, the honor society for senior women at the University.
The concert of the winners of the national contest will be broadcast over station WREN this evening from 10 to 10:30.
Dr. Olsen Speaks Tonight
Nebraska Educator Will Address Forum In Fraser Theater
The contest, which was held Saturday, was at the biennial meeting of the National Federation of Music Clubs which has for some years past been offering $10,000 worth of prizes to young artists in piano, violin, violoncello, and voice. This year for the first time organ was added to the contest and besides the cash prize of $500, the winning of first place carries with it national recognition by the music clubs of America.
Dr. H. C. Olsen, director of teacher training at Nebraska State Teachers college, Kearney, Nebr., will speak at the educational forum to be held in the little theater in Fraser hall this evening at 7.
Miss Spindler is a pupil of Prof. C. S. Skilton, head of the organ department of the University of Kansas, and has studied under him for three years. Although she enrolled this year as a junior, she was so advanced as to give her senior organ recital last May, in one number of which she was accompanied by the University Symphony orchestra. Two weeks later she won the first of the three Federation contests, playing an entirely different program, except for one short number. In the national contest she represented the states of Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas.

LAW PROFESSOR PREPARES
NEW EDITION OF OLD TEXT
During the past two years Prof. F.W. Jacobs, of the School of Law, has been preparing a new edition of "Bigelow's Cases on Personal Property."
A few weeks ago the new volume appeared from the press of West Publishing Company of St. Poul, Minn. The text has been adopted for use in the School of Law here, and is to be used in many other standard law schools.
Cars Continue a Problem
Care in Parking Would Increase Space New Available
Parking on the Hill is as much a problem during the Summer Session as during the regular year, according to Officer Snyder who is in charge of traffic on the campus.
The total number of cars using the Hill daily is estimated at 580 which compares closely with the number of cars with permits that park on the campus in winter sessions. If all those who park their cars will take precautions to use as little space as possible and to park always in the same direction as the others, Mr. Snyder feels that there would be room for between one-fourth to one-third more cars in the space now available. Besides the commons and the two streets east of Fraser hall there is space behind the Chemistry and Engineering buildings and along the drive in the rear of the Administration building.
Mr. Snyder feels that compliance with these rules depends largely on knowledge of them and so he submits the following regulations: Automobiles are not allowed to park on the main streets of the campus between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday inclusive.
No parking is allowed where curbs are painted orange.
Speed limit is 15 miles per hour at all times.
Law Honor Roll Announced
Eight Students Win Places With High
Average
The School of Law honor roll for the spring semester of 1931 has been announced by Robert M. Davis, dean of the school. All students who have maintained an average grade of "B" or above for the semester are placed on the honor roll. Elijah Washington is the first negro ever to have won such a place.
The names are first year, Eugene H. Linville, James H. Meek, Jack P. Turner; second year, Joe Koralchik, Dwight Olds; third year, Alfred Kuraner, Gayle M. Pickens, Elijah Washington.
That the contract for the photography of the 1932 Jayhawker has been awarded to the Frerking studio was the announcement made this morning by Charles A. Deardorff, Jr., editor-in-chief. Homer Frerking was designated as the official class photographer of the 1931 Jayhawker, but he took only the individual pictures. For the 1932 book, however, Frerking will have charge of group and outdoor photographs, together with those of individuals.
CONTRACT FOR JAYHAWKER IS LET TO FRERKING STUDIO
The contract was let after a month of investigation by Deardorff and Joe F. Balch, business manager, who believe that this plan will prove to be convenient to the students, as well as lend a higher quality to the book's photography.
