Hoecker To Teach Defense Course
Dr. Frank E. Hoecker, professor of physics, will teach a course in the use of radiological monitoring instruments at the federal civilian defense comprehensive course to be taught April 2-6 at Kansas State College.
"Monitoring teams from Kansas are composed of research staff members, members of other departments, and graduate students at the University." Dr. Hoecker said.
"The course at K-State will include the civilian defense directors of this area and will cover all phases of civilian defense. This course will make it possible anyone on our campus learn to protect himself against disaster in event of a possible radioactive attack," he added.
Second Lt. Phil Hahn of Bloomington, Kan., ranked 22nd of 186 recent graduates of the basic infantry officer course at the Infantry School, Fort Benning, Ga.
The University isotope laboratory just received $2,500 worth of radiological monitoring instruments.
'55 Graduate Ranks High
WHICH COSTUME SHOULD I USE?—This seems to be the question that Lee MacMorris, Hutchinson junior, is asking Nathaniel Eek, instructor of speech, concerning the production "Kind Lady," to be presented Tuesday, March 27, Wednesday, March 28, and Thursday, March 29. Miss MacMorris plays the part of Mrs. Edwards in a story about a wealthy art collector.
Borgnine, Magnani, 'Marty' Capture Top Oscar Awards
HOLLYWOOD (UP)—Newcomer Ernest Borgnine and his picture, a low-budget little film named "Marty," swept over veteran actors and expensive pictures Wednesday night to win Hollywood's coveted Oscars.
Shock, Burns Hit Student
Robert S. Wade, Coffeyville junior, received an electrical shock about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday in the electrical engineering laboratory.
Dr. Ralph L. Canuteson, director of the University Health Service, said Wade recovered from the first shock with no apparent residual effects, but he received fairly bad burns on both hands. He was dismissed about 5 p.m.
Russell Hayes, Wichita junior, who was working in the laboratory said, "Wade was setting up an aluminum chassis containing an electrical power supply and became grounded some way and received high voltage. "Wade yelled," Hays said, "and picked up the chassis in such a way that he pulled the cord and cut the electricity."
William P. Smith, professor of electrical engineering, said after the accident, "The equipment seems to be all right, but it will be tested to determine what went wrong."
WASHINGTON (UP)—A delegation of 31 persons from Missouri and Kansas appeared before a House appropriations subcommittee Wednesday to urge appropriations for flood control and other river work in the area.
One Group Urges Flood Control
Mayor H. Roe Bartle of Kansas City, Mo., and Mayor Paul F. Mitchum of Kansas City, Kan., both pleaded for appropriation of sufficient funds to permit speedy completion of the Tuttle Creek dam on the Blue River above Manhattan.
Mr. Mitchum said the 1951 flood on the Kaw caused "several million dollars damage" to his city. He urged approval of a recommended nine million dollars appropriation for Tuttle Creek.
Another offbeat newcomer to Hollywood films, Italy's fiery Anna Magnani, was honored as the best actress of 1955 for her explosive role in "The Rose Tattoo," her first U.S. movie.
The supporting player awards made it an all-newcomer year. Joan Terry shared the award or "List of Eddie and Edmund Hamm" was honored for "Mister Roberts."
Mr. Borgine a year ago was only a player of small villain roles in films and a virtual unknown. But Wednesday night the 38-year-old actor heard his name called by Grace Kelly, last year's best actress winner, as the top actor of 1955 for his first starring role—of a gentle, lonely butcher in "Mary."
"Marty" also walked off with Oscar for best direction, to Delbert Mann, and for best screen play to Paddy Chavefsky.
Susan Hayward's loss in the Oscar race made her "four times a nominee, never a winner." She had been a close second favorite to win for her role of an alcoholic in "I'll Cry Tomorrow."

Committee Warns Five Universities
WASHINGTON (UP)—A special committee of the American Association of University Professors has recommended the censure of five universities and colleges for allegedly violating academic freedom and tenure.
This is the largest number of institutions to be recommended for censure by the association at one time. The institutions are the University of California, Ohio State University, Rutgers University, Temple University, Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia.
In each of the schools faculty members have been dismissed for refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigating committees or for pleading the Fifth Constitutional Amendment against possible self-incrimination when called before the committees.

Speakers and their topics will be Charles C. Colby, visiting professor, director of the Kansas Basin Project, "Resources and Urban Potentialities in Kansas"; Arthur D. Weber, dean of agriculture, Kansas State College, "The Future Agricultural Use of Kansas Resources"; James O. Bray, Kansas State College, "Society's Interest in the Use of Agricultural Resources."

Finney, of Humboldt Brick- and Tile Co., "Resources in the Economics of Industry"; C. Y. Thomas, Spencer Chemical Co., "Natural Resources for the Manufacture of Goods"; Roy Wall, naturalist and conservationist from Wichita, "Wildlife—Conservation and Recreation."
Controversy Over Estes
The presence of the Tennessee Democrat spurred his enthusiastic followers to redouble their efforts for a victory in California's June 5 primary, where Kefauver again opposes a slate pledged to Adlai Stevenson.
ATLANTA, Ga. (UP)—Talk of a third political party for disgruntled Southern Democrats was beginning anew today as Dixie's political leaders viewed Sen. Estes Kefauver's Minnesota victory with "surprise" but little change of heart.
At Columbia, S.C., the South Carolina Democratic convention passed a resolution that would allow the state's delegates to throw their support to a third party in the event the Democratic nominee or the party platform is distasteful to the South.
LONDON (UP)—The London Times said today that Adlai Stevenson's defeat by Sen. Estes Kefauver in Minnesota "proves once more that 'the Americans are funny people.'"
The Times said in an editorial that Stevenson is "one of those American leaders whose stock probably stands higher on this side of the Atlantic than it does in his own country."
