Artist Found Not Guilty Of Wealthy Uncle's Murder
A tense courtroom waited for over an hour Thursday while the jury deliberated in the murder trial of George Carpenter, 40-year-old artist, accused of the slaying of his multi-millionaire uncle, Charles Blake Powell. He was found not guilty.
The trial of the State of Green versus Carpenter was the second murder trial this week held in the District Court room of the Douglas County Court House. The two were the last of four cases tried semester by third grade law students in a triary justice class taught by the professor of law.

Eight Receive Scholarships
The appointment of eight U. G. Mitchell honor scholars in mathematics for the 1956-57 academic year was announced today by Dr. G. Beley Price, chairman of the mathematics department. The scholarships are renewable during the undergraduate course.
The awards total $2,650 but vary in individual amounts from $100 to $450, according to need. These honor scholarships in mathematics are part of the U. G. Mitchell honors program in mathematics amounting to $5,000 a year, and supported by a bequest to the KU Endowment Association by the late KU mathematics professor and Mrs. Mitchell.
The scholars, who were named for special proficiency in mathematics as well as all-around scholarships, will be: Beverly Irene Doig, now a student at Graceland College, Lamoni, Iowa, who will enter KU as a junior next fall; Margaret Mary Green, Lawrence junior, Wilfred M. Greenlee, National City, Calif., sophomore; Charles E. Henning, Ottawa freshman; David B. Lehmann, Halsted junior; Charles Edward Platz, Hutchinson freshman; Patricia Joanne Viola, Abilene sophomore; Wesley R. White, Satanta freshman.
Faculty Evaluation Called Valuable
Interstate Bus Rates Hiked 6 Per Cent
It might be bitter medicine, but it is valuable and helpful.
A six per cent increase in interstate bus fares will go into effect May 25, according to J. R. McKinley, manager of the Union Bus Depot.
The increase in fares which was recently announced by the Interstate Commerce Commission will affect all bus lines and fares to all out-of-state points in the United States. Bus rates within the state will not be affected.
This seems to be the consensus of many faculty members who will be judged by students next week in the course-instructor evaluation program prepared by the scholarship committee of the All Student Council.
Hansen Defends AAU Charges
FRESNO, Calif. (UP)—AAU President Carl Hansen, stoutly defending his organization, declared today there "would be no possibility of reinstating" miler Wes Santee despite the threat of a U.S. Senate investigation.
Mr. Hansen, in California for the 30th running of the Fresno Relays, also denied charges by Sen. Frank Carlson (R-Kan.) that the AAU had discriminated against the ace miler by barring him from amateur competition.
Denied For "Professionalism"
Denied For Professionalism
Lt. Santee was denied for life the right to compete in amateur track events for "professionalism."
"Lt. Santee has been treated no differently than many hundreds of other athletes who did the same thing and whose acts were called to our attention," Mr. Hansen said.
Sen. Carlson said yesterday that unless the AAU lifts its bon on the Kansas runner he would demand an investigation into its practices and ask for "corrective legislation."
Sen. Carlson conceded that Lt. Santee broke the AAU's "anti-quated regulation of expenses." But he said the payments made to the runner "were knowingly and voluntarily made by the AAU's own pious members and . . . this has been the accepted practice for years."
Merited Only Slap
Merted Only Slap
He charged that by its lifetime ban against Lt. Santee, the AAU invoked a "capital punishment for an acceptable misdemeanor which merited at most a stinging slap on the wrist."
The majority of instructors also believes that the plan is a "fine idea," and that they are often helped by the suggestions made by students.
Success Depends On Students Many agree the success of the program depends on the students' reactions. Mrs. Margaret Hofmann, instructor in Romance languages, said:
"If students give time and thought to the questions, their answers can be quite valuable. On the other hand, if they take it casually, the plan is of little value."
Complaints without constructive ideas are not good either, faculty members say. They maintain the students should answer the questions honestly without fearing that the instructor will "take it out on them."
'Fine Idea'
'Some Good Suggestions'
George Anderson, professor of history: "I think it is a fine idea, and have no criticism to offer. However, I think students should be honest in mentioning how much they work they put into the course. Students should also pay attention to their own mannerisms in class. Why should they criticize us when they often blow bubble gum or yawn in class?"
Walter Kollmorgen, professor of geography: "I have no strong opinion. I believe the program is a wholesome outlet for the students. We get helpful suggestions, and we certainly pay attention to them."
Luella Foster, assistant professor of home economics: "Students think those things anyway, so they might as well express them. I have had some very good suggestions. And I think it is good to have certain things called to my attention. I have no objections to the program."
Emil L. Tellel, associate professor of journalism: "It's a good idea. Most of the comments confirm what you know, but haven't thought about, or done anything about. Some of the answers are emotional."
Kansan Board Dinner Guests To Hear Suhler Saturday

Doc's House Not For Rent
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson's house is not for rent, and if you have planned a farewell party for him, please post-pone it until after Christmas.
News that Dr. Canuteson, director of the University Student Health Service, has received a Fulbright award from the state department for public health research in Norway next year has brought a flood of farewells from friends and several offers to rent his house while he is away.
He even got a letter from Dr. H. B. Latimer, chairman emeritus of the University anatomy department and now at the University of Missouri, expressing concern that the two would not see each other before Dr. Canuteson leaves.
"Actually, I have a five-month appointment beginning in February." Dr. Canuteson said. "I won't leave here until after Christmas."
"But," he added, "it certainly has demonstrated to me the power of newspaper advertising."
