84 To Take CPA Exam
Eighty-four persons will take the semi-annual Certified Public Accountant test to be given at the University Wednesday through Friday. Twenty-four are University seniors.
The test is given at different points throughout the nation. The other place in Kansas is Wichita which has 57 applicants.
The test, which is a uniform one made up by the American Institute of Accountants, is difficult and only about 15 per cent of the persons taking it pass the whole test. If a person passes two or three of the four forms, he will be put on condition. Then he must work off this condition by passing the rest of the test.
To take the test, a graduating senior must have majored in accounting and take it 90 days prior to graduation. Then, if he passes the test, he must serve two years before he receives his CPA certificate.
A college graduate who is a non-accounting major may take the test after two years of experience. A person must have three years experience.
To serve in professional capacity and set up his own business, an accountant must pass this exam and receive his CPA degree.

Reserve Program Designed To Aid Scientific Students
"Students who are not in the ROTC programs, who face the prospect of two years of military service, may be interested in the scientific and specialists reserve program of the armed services by which six months of military service may be substituted for the two years enlistment required," Registrar James K. Hitt said.
Under this program students may enlist for eight years in the reserve and will be called to six months active duty within 120 days after enlistment. The remainder of the eight-year enlistment period is spent in the standby reserve.
A member of the standby reserve is not required to attend drills or other training periods' if he continues in his scientific field. In a national emergency a member would serve in the armed forces only if his services as a civilian scientist were not needed.
Students in the following fields are eligible for the program: Chemistry, psychology, engineering, geology, geophysics, mathematics, microbiology, parasitology, pharmacy, physics, physiology, and veterinary.
Complete information concerning the program is available at any local draft board. Further information may also be obtained from Mr. Hitt at the registrar's office, 112 Strong Hall. A member of the Kansas State Selective Service headquarters will be on the campus next week to discuss the program if enough students are interested.
Employment High In April
WASHINGTON (UP)—The number of employed persons rose to 63,990,000 last month—a new April record. The unemployed total for April was 2,564,000, a new decline of 270,000 from March. The government reported, however, that unemployment among factory workers "remained at or above winter levels" instead of declining as usual in April.
Designer Of Campanile Bells Here To Check Performance
An Englishman who had much to do with the construction of one of the University's most renowned monuments is visiting the campus this week.
He is Frank C. Godfrey, chief engineer of John Taylor and Co., the bell foundry in Loughborough, England, that cast the carillon bells for the Campanile.
"Actually I would rather be called a works manager and a carillon designer," he said. "It describes me better and doesn't sound so important."
Mr. Godfrey will visit with Ronald Barnes, University carilonneur, and will make sure "his" bells are properly adjusted to give their best performance.
"I have been with the company for 30 years, and have made many trips to America," he said.
"As far as I know our company is the largest in the world," he said. "We trade with every continent. I don't believe there are any foundries in the United States." he added.
He said the company cast bells for the University of Michigan, Duke University, and the Bok Sinzing Tower of Florida.
He said the John Taylor Co. is one of the oldest foundries. It was founded by Johannes de Stafford in 1316.
Mr. Godfrey's next stop will be Iowa State University in Ames

Fire Hazards Start Cleanup
COLUMBUS, Ohio (IP)—A report on fire hazard conditions in fraternity houses has brought about a major cleanup of existing violations at Ohio State University.
He recommended that steps be taken immediately to complete a program of fire drills at least once a month.
In a letter to the dean of men, rooming house inspector William Warren said, "I found in many cases blocked fire escapes, exit lamps off and painted over, doors and windows blocked off, and a lack of interest on the part of the members concerning location of fire escapes and exits."
"Another fire hazard of much concern." Mr. Warren said, "is the overcrowded condition of the attics in most fraternity houses."
Economist Questioned By House Committee
WASHINGTON (UP)—Five congressional groups, the Air Department and the Air Force are looking into the case of suspended Air Force economist Sidney Hatkin, who said he rejected a bid to gather plane production information for a Russian embassy official.
The House Committee on American Activities subpoenaed Hatkin for questioning Thursday by its staff director, Richard Arens. Chairman Francis E. Walter (D-Pa) said the committee will decide on the basis of this "exploratory" questioning whether to schedule public hearings.
