Art Club Sends Exhibit To Kansas Grade Schools
The KU art education club project "Exhibit Express," is underway. The result of an idea which was conceived in 1954, the exhibit is being sent to Kansas grade schools—so that Kansas children can see the drawings of children from other countries.
Club Collects Art
In order to obtain the children's work, the club sent letters all over the world, getting names and addresses from books, articles in magazines, or by sending an inquiry to the state director of art education in the country.
Curtis Miller, Wichita junior, is this year's president of the art education club, and Barbara Keeler, Lawrence junior, is the vice president. They and the other members of the club have done all the work on these exhibits, from writing letters about the drawings to mounting and lettering them.
Miss Maud Ellsworth, head of the art education department and sponsor of the art education club, has also contributed to the exhibit. While in Sweden, she visited some Swedish schools, coming home with several drawings by Swedish children, which she gave to the club for the exhibit.
Another source was Professor Frank Wachowiak, in charge of art education at Iowa University. He went to Burma on a Fulbright grant, and brought back several Burmese children's drawings. He sent the art education club some of these.
An African missionary, Miss Virginia Pickerts, has been sending pictures drawn by her students to the club. She was taking some art education courses at KU while on leave when the students started working on the project, and became quite interested in it.
Eight Countries Represented
Eight Countries Represented The exhibits which are now being shown include drawings from Burma, Canada, Africa, England, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Zealand and Sweden. It took six months to New Zealand drawings to arrive, as they came by boat. Each country paid for the import of the drawings
An exchange exhibit has been set up with England, in which English children get to see Kansas children's drawings, and vice-versa. If the interest is great enough, more

Deferment Test Set For Nov.17

Married! And He's The Only Male In Class
One man and 74 women! If that isn't paradise, what is? At 2 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday one lone member of the male species on this campus finds himself in a class with 74 members of the opposite sex. Unfortunately, he is married and has a baby girl.
The lucky male in this case is Lawrence Eowman, a junior in education from Coffeyville. Larry is the sole male member of Mrs. Natalie Calderwood's class in Children's Literature. Mrs. Calderwood is an assistant professor in English.
Larry recently became the father of a baby girl. On the day the baby was born he was called to Coffey-ville and forced to miss class. Upon his return Mrs. Calderwood asked him if they had run him off and said she was glad to see him back as they needed a man's viewpoint in the class.
Misses Class
He claims he had no idea he would be the only boy in the class. "I had a sneaking suspicion, however," he added, "that there wouldn't be too many other guys in it."
"I told him to get out of that class when I found out he was enrolled in it," Lou, his wife, said jokingly, "but you see how much good it did. Now you couldn't drag him out."
Feels Funny
Larry says it feels funny being in his room with himself with that many girls. "When the other calls the roll she doesn't even have to call my name," he said.
"I sit way up in the corner by myself and don't pay any attention to any of the girls," he continued.
Army 'Efficiency' Bows To Machine
The Army has come through.
Four days ago, an "official business" letter—or supposedly so—from the Department of Army Headquarters of the Kansas Military District came into the Kansas newsroom. The envelope was sealed, but there was nothing in it
Today the "official business" came through.
It seems the Army's stuffing machine failed to work and the "business" was given the business and left out of the envelope.
The "business" is that ".. young men entering the Army Reserve and completing six months of active duty training may later become eligible to apply for a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve."
To this remark his wife commented, "I'll bet."
Bowman was discharged from the Navy last Jan. 15 as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. He served in the Mediterranean aboard the USS Champlain and the USS Roosevelt, both aircraft carriers.
The course is a required course in elementary education and deals with the teaching of fairy tales, folk tales, and nursery rhymes.
In summing up his novel position in the class Larry said, "Why couldn't this have been my freshman year."
