Course Rating Ends Saturday
The course-instructor evaluation questionnaires prepared by the scholarship committee of the All Student Council have been filled out in many of the classes and the process will end Saturday.
the process that the student interviewed feel the evaluation programs are a good way to let the instructor know the sentiments of the class without revealing the identity of the student. Often the student does have constructive criticism for the teacher but it is such that he cannot tell him in a conversation.
A majority of the faculty seem to agree that they are in favor of the plan. They agree that the student often does offer good constructive criticism and that if the student is honest that they can be very helpful in many instances.
The students must be sure to keep their identity off the paper.
12,000 Expected To Attend Commencement
About 1,800 students will participate in the University's 84th annual Commencement, and approximately 12,000 persons are expected to attend the program Monday, June 4.

Motorized Wheelbarrow Appreciated By Workers
It's a motorized wheelbarrow, it cost $650, he's got five and he'll buy some more.
"We don't save any money on them because of the original cost and the maintenance, but they do the work of two men working on the old type," said Glen Henrichsen, superintendent in charge of the music and arts building construction.
"Also, they can be operated in mud, up and down ramps, unlike the old type," he said.
creased traction. The carts are operated by a six-horse power gasoline motor and are equipped with forward and reverse gears. A throttle and brake are on the left handle bar. The rear wheel is the pilot wheel.
For mud, the three-wheeled machines have dual wheels for in-
pistil wheel.
To empty the load of 9 to 10 cubic feet, the operator kicks a dump lever which has an eccentric mechanism. This tips the 1,500 pound capacity load.
"Some superintendents don't like the carts," Mr. Henrichsen said, "but we've used them on the state office building in Topeka and on two KU dorms."

Students To Give USO Show May 21
Theater at the University will have one more fling before ringing down the final curtain when a group of students give a variety show at 8 p.m. Monday, May 21, in Fraser Theater. The show is for one night and there is no admission charge.
Sour Owl Hit By Criticism
Controversy over the recent issue of the Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, has resulted in a conference to be held by the faculty of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and members of the organizations connected with the publication. The meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 22.
The magazine is published by members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity for men, Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity for men, and Kappa Alpha Mu, professional photography fraternity.
Dean Burton W. Marvin, School of Journalism, said, "We deeply regret that this happened. The entire matter is under faculty consideration."
The magazine, which appeared on the campus Tuesday, has received criticism from the administration and from various individuals lampooned in the magazine. Wednesday afternoon Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy met with faculty members of the School of Journalism and student editors of the publication.
Chancellor Murphy was in Topeka today and no statement was issued from his office.
Boeing Scholarships Awarded To 3
The three were among the finalists in the statewide KU scholarship testing program.
Three Kansas high school seniors have been awarded Boeing Airplane Co. scholarships at the University. They are Richard Rinkel, Hutchinson; Robert Ohmart, Scott City, and Fred Koons, Lyons.
A trip to Europe and Africa is at stake. A representative of the USO will be in the audience. If he approves the show, the group will take it on tour of United States Armed Forces military bases on those continents.
Writes USO Office
Several months ago Paul K. Worley, Topeka senior, wrote the USO New York City office and asked if it could use a troupe. The reply said that a representative would audition the show and if he thought it was satisfactory it would be used. Since then the USO has given instructions to get immunization and vaccination shots and the necessary overseas papers.
Auditions were held two weeks ago and 18 students were chosen for the cast.
Gone Three Months
Students in the cast are Merrilyn Coleman, Lawrence junior; Donald Carey, Coffeyville graduate student; Manuel Jackson, Kansas City, Kan.; sophomore; Nathan Davis, Kansas City, Kan., True Binford, Overland Park, freshmen; Francie Aronhalt, Topeka senior; Ruth Taggart, Topeka junior.
If the show is approved, the group will leave Lawrence June 6 and will return Aug. 31. They have nothing to lose. If they are accepted it means an expenses-paid trip to Europe and if they aren't accepted—well, with all those shots they'll still be the healthiest group on the campus.
Beverly Runkle, Pittsburg, Sheila Nation, Chanute, sophomores; Martha Crowley, Pittsburg freshman; Bonnie Dinsmore, Overland Park, Roger Brown, Topeka, Warren George, Merriam, sophomores; William Latimer, Osage City senior; Donald Farrar, Kansas City, Mo, sophomore; Tom Sawyer, Topeka freshman; Ruth Scholes, Council Grove senior, and Worley.

If "yes" is the answer to each question, and you would like to express constructive ideas on "Is there an over-emphasis on sex in publications today and if so, what might be done about it," see Tom Yoe, director of public relations.
Mrs. Margaret Hickey, Ladies Home Journal staff member, will be on the campus Friday to conduct interviews for choosing a KU woman and a KU man for the New York trip.
"This isn't a gag," Mr. Yoe said, and represents quite an opportunity for whomever Mrs. Hickey chooses. Candidates will have to sell themselves in the interviews."
