Contests Can Be Won- This Student Placed Third
Have you ever entered a contest? If you have, have you won a prize? Most persons either don't enter contests—or enter only in the spirit of fun, because they don't seem to win. Mary Lawrence, Kansas City, Mo. senior, is an exception.
Last spring Stanislav V'Soske of New York, a famous custom maker of woolen rugs, announced that he was sponsoring a national design contest. This contest was for original rung designs, and was open to design majors in colleges and universities in the United States.
Mary won third place in the contest and was awarded $50. First and second places were won by students in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
How did Mary happen to enter the contest? She was a student of Arvid Jacobsen, associate professor of design, during the spring semester. Prof. Marjorie Whitney, head of the design department, and Mr. Jacobsen suggested that the members of their design classes enter the contest to see what they could do.
Submits Drawing
Mary decided to try her hand at a design, and submitted a color scale and perspective drawing.
The scale drawing featured the dimensions of the rug, as well as the amount and positions of the colors to be used. The perspective drawing showed the rug to its best advantage in a room. The rug design featured dark gray, white, and yellow on a gray and beige background.
Mary had almost forgotten about the contest until she received a telegram during the summer announcing she had won third place.
The August issue of Interior Design, a professional magazine for interior decorators, announced the winners of the contest. The article said that the idea behind the contest was "to encourage young American interior designers in the concept that the floor is the focal point of an interior—and that the rug is an important factor in decoration."
Cooperate, Ike Tells Reds
DENVER —(U.P.)— President Eisenhower today challenged the Russians to match the "genuine spirit" for peace in which the western proposals will be made at the Big Four ministers' meeting in Geneva.
Mr. Eisenhower's recovery from a heart attack continued meantime to progress satisfactorily. A medical bulletin issued at t.6:45 a.m. (MST) (7:45 a.m. CST) said the President "had an excellent night's sleep of eight and one-half hours" and that "he awoke feeling refreshed and cheerful."
The western proposals are designed for "increased security and well-being for all," Mr. Eisenbower said.
The President said he and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles thought alike on the issues to be discussed and that their ideas "reflect a genuine spirit of conciliation and accommodation."
"If the Soviet Union responds in a similar spirit, much progress can be made," the President said. Dulles was scheduled to leave Paris today for Geneva where the conference will start tomorrow.

PITTSBURG, Kan.—(U.P.)—Sen.
Frank Carlson (R-Kan) said today the atomic age race is between education and catastrophe and added "I feel education will be the ultimate victor."
Education Called Atom Age Need
In a speech at the Pittsburg State Teachers College, Sen. Carlson said he believes "a real chance for peace" is emerging as the world's atomic stockpiles grow.
Sen. Carlson said it is the duty of this country's government not to neglect reliable safeguards for national security.
"The meeting in Geneva this week," he said, "will determine whether we can plan on a peaceful co-existence or if it is to be stymied in the future as in the past by an aggressive, communistic nationalism and expansion.
"If Russia is ready to try to live with the West, it will certainly be possible for her to do so."

CONFUSION REIGNS in the Droodle above, titled: Switchboard operated by absent-minded Lucky smoker. Poor girl's been swamped by too many phone calls. But she isn't confused about better taste—she smokes Luckies. Luckies taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then "It's Toasted" to taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother. Switch to Lucky Strike yourself. You'll say it's the best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked—and you won't have your wires crossed, either.
