Good Teaching Brings Dr.Rose $2,000 Award
A $2,000 teaching award for 1955 will be awarded to Prof. Kenneth E. Rose, chairman of the department of metallurgical engineering Oct. 19 in Philadelphia at the National Metals Exposition.
Prof. Rose is the first faculty member of the School of Engineering and Architecture to receive the American Society for Metals award.
"I am a great believer in the experimental type of teaching," said Prof. Rose. "I think in my particular field, laboratory demonstration is a vital part of the student's education."
During the 1954-55 school year, the period for which the award was made, Prof. Rose taught four undergraduate courses and one graduate course. Teachers from the entire nation were nominated for the award. This semester Prof. Rose is teaching
Prof. Rose was first appointed to the staff in 1947, and became chairman of his department in 1954. He has taught at Cornell and Oklahoma, and has industrial experience with the Caterpillar Tractor Co. and the Battle Memorial Institute.

and the University Prof. Rose received his degree as a metallurgical engineer from the Colorado School of Mines, and his master's degree from Cornell University.
U.S., British Students Alike, London Jurist, Wife Say
Despite all the modern frills, American students are much the same as students who attend classes at institutions of higher learning in England.
That's the opinion of an English couple, Sir and Lady Francis Raymond Evershed, who have been guests of the University Sir Raymond, master of the Rolls, Royal Courts of Justice, London, delivered the fourth series of Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens law lectures at the University Sept. 16, 17 and 18
The lectures were attended by law dignitaries of the state and faculty and students of the School of Law.
Sir Raymond and Lady Evershed took advantage of their stay to visit the campus and meet students informally at Green Hall.
Sir Raymond said he received "wonderful hospitality" at KU.
After a tour of the campus the Eversheds agreed that KU has most of the modern conveniences of life. Lady Evershed, after seeing the new Carruth-O'Leary Hall, men's dormitory, commented on the different way in which English students live.
At many universities in England, students go to school and live in the same building for three years, she said.
She said a KU dormitory "was more like a hotel than a dormitory."
The two also were impressed by the facilities of the Student Union. They agreed that it would rank with many country clubs.
"Still the American student seems to be interested in matters of an academic nature and looks at his education as a serious matter," they said.
Director Gives Job Advice
"In order to increase the number of part-time jobs available for all students, each student worker must be responsible at all times for good behavior on the job," said Dennis Trueblood, director of aids and awards, in an interview yesterday.
Mr. Trueblood explained that students who are negligent and discourous in their work often ruin the chances of other students to obtain part-time employment.
"The opportunity to hold a job is a privilege, not a right," he said. "In realizing this, the student should report promptly for work and treat the employer and fellow workers courteously.
He also should do his best work and be clean in personal appearance and habits. Lastly, he should inform the appropriate employment agency when he accepts or leaves a job which has been listed by the employer in that office."

Scholarships To Britain Open
The 1955 Marshall scholarships winners—12 young Americans who have won places in British universities—will sail September 28 for England.
Applications for next year's scholarships must be in by Oct. 15.
Marshall scholarships were conceived as a gesture of appreciation for America's Marshall Plan aid.

intersect in chosen areas.
For purposes of selection the U.S. and its territories have been divided into four regions each having a committee of five Americans headed by the local British consul-general, to whom applications should be submitted.
Applicants must be under 28, when they take up their scholarships and in possession of a bachelor's degree from an American university.
Sea passages for the scholars are paid by theBritish Government. Each scholarship is worth £550 ($1,540) a year. Married students receive an additional allowance of £200 ($560).
WASHINGTON—U.P.)—A traveling exhibition called "Schoolroom Progress, U.S.A." was unveiled this week in Washington. It is sponsored by the Henry Ford Museum of Dearborn, Mich., and the Encyclopedia Americana. Its purpose is to arouse greater interest in schools and schooling in America.
Rail Exhibit Shows School Progress
Museum Shows Bloch Paintings
The net, comfortable atmosphere of the new school room—a kindergarten—contrasts sharply with the dingy oldstyle schoolroom. The cars will be taken around the country for three to five years, and it is hoped that several million people will see them.
The exhibit consists of two railway cars—one of yesterday and one of today. Even the cars reflect the atmosphere—the one with the oldtime schoolroom in it is the oldest Pullman the Chesapeake and Ohio could find. The other, with the modern school equipment display, is a sleek new coach.
The works of Albert Bloch, retired drawing and painting professor, have been placed on exhibition in KU Art Museum.
The exhibit opened Sept. 15 and will run through Oct. 30. The museum has never given an exhibit that covers an artist's career from his earliest work to the present day. Mr. Bloch's work covers from 1911 to 1955.
Mr. Bloch studied art at the Washington University Art School in St. Louis, served as a newspaper and magazine illustrator in St. Louis until 1908. He then went to Munich, Germany to paint.
Stene Writes Book On Philippines
EDWIN O. Stene, professor of political science, is the author of a new textbook, "Public Administration in the Philippines."
During his stay in Germany he became associated with two leading painters, Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky. Mr. Bloch worked with them for six years and shared in many of their exhibits.
In 1923 he became head of the drawing and painting department at Kansas University until his retirement in 1947.
It is the first book used for a text in the Philippines that deals primarily with administration in that part of the world, Dr. Stene said. The book will be used in the United States largely for reference on comparative administration, he added.
Among the many exhibits of Mr. Bloch's work have been two international shows in Germany and two world fairs.
His work hangs in museums all over the United States and in private collections on both sides of the Atlantic. The present exhibition has been collected from all these sources. Much of his work was lost, however, when collections in Germany were destroyed in Hitler's raid on modern art.

Geneva Parley Seen As Atomic Power Boost
A "renaissance of world-wide scientific exchange of information" is making atomic power plants for supplying electrical energy a possibility in the near future.
Dr. Frank E. Hoecker, professor of physics, said the plants are practical now, especially in nations where coal is an expensive fuel.
Dr. Hoecker said he believes that the most significant result of the Geneva conference this summer on the peaceful uses of atomic energy was to speed up the practical use of atomic power.
Dr. Hoeker, director of the radioactive isotopes research laboratory, was an American delegate to the scientific meeting.
He said he believes that the next three, four, or five years will see quite a few atomic reactors put into use.
A-Power Use Advanced
A-Power Use Advanced The Geneva meeting stepped-up the use of atomic power, Dr. Hoecker said. It has taken years off the time when it normally would have been developed, he added.
The conference ran from Aug. 8 to 20. The first three days there were general meetings at which scientists read papers to the delegates of 73 nations. At the outset the Russians appeared wary, even suspicious, he said.
The Russians showed diagrams of their atomic reactor, a water boiler type, in use near Moscow, Dr. Hoecker said.
Both the USSR and the free world scientists had made about the same progress in using isotopes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, in plant studies, and in power. Dr. Hoecker said.
Delegates Explained Plants The United States, Great Britain, and other nations have built atomic power plants, and each delegate explained how it operated, he said. Dr. Hoecker said that it was apparent to him that there were no real secrets in the peaceful uses of atomic fission.
Dr. Hoecker, one of 150 American delegates, gave a paper on the "Deposition of Radioactive Substances in Bone."

He visited Russian exhibits but found the Russians seldom would speak English. Their equipment and experiments corresponded to ours, he said.
