Campus Chest Collections Close Today
The last collection for the Campus Chest drive will be made by the Red Peppers and fraternity pledge classes during half-time at the KU-K-State basketball game today.
"About $1,700 has been collected so far," Bill Sayler, Kansas City, Kan., junior and chairman of the drive, said Monday. However, he said that some organized houses have turned in no report yet.
Although last year's drive was extended to gain extra contributions, that will not be done this year. Today is the last chance to put the total over last year's, which was $2,000.
Tuesday, March 6, 1956.
Solicitors are requested to turn all contributions in at the office in the activities lounge by 10 p.m. so that a count may be made as soon as possible. Independent students may turn in contributions at the office in the activities lounge of the Student Union between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Sayler said that the information booth will not be open today because there are not enough workers.
Competition for the trophy ends at 10 p.m. today. The winning house will be announced at the Greek Week dance Saturday. If the trophy, which has been ordered, arrives in time, it will be presented at the dance.
The 40 finalists for Summerfield scholarships will take their final tests March 19 and 20 in the Student Union. From 10 to 12 men will receive scholarships.
Summerfield Tests Slated
The finalists will also have meetings with faculty committees. Dinner meetings will be held with the college scholarships now on the campus.
The scholarships were established in 1929 by Solon E. Summerfield, who gave $20,000 annually to the Endowment Association until his death in 1947. Since then, the honors have been continued by the Solon E. Summerfield Foundation in accordance with his will, which provides $20,000 a year for the awards.

New Color Scheme Makes Fossils Seem Less Dull
—(Daily Kansan Photo)
Have you seen the new color scheme in the displays of fossil animals in the Williston-Martin Hall of Fossil Vertebrates in Dyche Museum? The aqua green behind the aquatic plesiosaurs and the beige behind the terrestrial dinosaur bones suggest the natural environment of each animal.
Campus Crash Overturns One Car; No One Injured
James C. Trombold, Wichita sophomore, was driving a 1951 Plymouth which collided with a 1951 Henry J. driven by Carl J. Hunzicker, R.F.D. I. Mr. Hunzicker was headed north across the intersection, when struck by the plymouth car which was traveling west on Jayhawk Boulevard.
A fire truck from the Lawrence fire department responded to a call to help wash gasoline from the street which leaked from the Hunzicker car.
Mr. Hunzicker was charged with carless driving and Trombold with failure to reduce his speed to avoid an accident.
The accident was the 23rd reported on the campus since September.
A large crowd stood around the accident scene for more than an hour to witness attempts by police and a car to upright the overturned car.
Police estimated $400 damages to the Hunzicker car and $10 to the Trombold car.
Weather
A two-car collision at Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road at 7:20 p.m. Monday turned one car upside down and sprayed gasoline over the street. Neither of the drivers was injured.

Murphy To Head Air School Board
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has been appointed 1956 chairman of the Board of Visitors to the Air University, the Air Force's professional education center.
Dr. Murphy has gone to Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., site of Air University, to preside at meetings of the Board of Visitors this week. He is serving his third year with the 15-man board. Its chief purpose is to examine the curriculum and management of Air University and its subordinate colleges and schools and to report its findings and recommendations to the chief of staff.
- A number of the play's principal characters in the version staged 23 years ago at KU are not strangers either. Many of them have continued work in the theater with excellent results. Others have lived just as successful but less public lives on or near the Hill.
The imaginary husband and wife combination of Mr. and Mrs. Higgins was played by a "real life" husband and wife well known at KU. Dr. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, and Mrs. Crafton played the parts in 1932. Dr. Crafton also directed the play.
He recalls a particular incident that occurred in the first "Pygmalion" performance that had the audience laughing between acts as well as during the play.
Needed Piano
"Since four scene changes were necessary in the play we decided to give the audience a chance to see for themselves how changes were made. We left the curtain open and thought this would keep them from growing restless. It did, but not for the same reason we had thought," said Dr. Crafton.
"One scene called for a grand piano on stage. There wasn't a piano in town so one was constructed very realistically of beaver board. The audience had sat quietly as we worked our sets. Then two rather small stage hands walked up to the grand piano and casually lifted it. There was a dead silence and then the audience broke down completely. They thought it was all part of the night's entertainment. I guess it was, but not intentionally."
Francis Feist, a Lawrence resident, played the part of Eliza. She has been an instructor at KU. When the feminine lead in "Harvey" dropped from that show, Miss Feist played the Broadway part until it closed.
Another member of the cast only visits the campus occasionally but his name is not unfamiliar. The Freddy of the first presentation was a young gentleman playing his first university part. His name was William Inge. Since leaving college he has not done much acting, but he has written three Broadway plays
One member of the cast has become a script writer in Hollywood, George Callahan, who played the part of Pickering, has written many scripts including "The Babe Ruth Story."
Arab Rulers Plan Strategy
JERUSALEM (U.P.)—King Saud of Saudi Arabia flew today to Cairo to join the leaders of Egypt and Syria in a strategy conference that could determine whether there is to be peace or war in the Middle East.
A series of clashes between Israeli and Egyptian guns and border patrols and several incidents involving Israeli planes and Syrian and Egyptian gun batteries heightened the Middle East crisis that again threatened to explode into open warfare.
King Saud joined Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser and Syrian President Shukry El Kuwatly in conferences aimed at wooing Jordan away from the last traces of British influence and to consolidate Arab strength in event of war.
The three states have signed a pact pledging to go to war against Israel if Israel commits "aggression" against any one.
