Professor Gets Fulbright Award
Dr. Joseph H. Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry today received notice of his appointment as a Faculty Fulbright Fellow to conduct research at the Eberhard Karls university at Tuebingen, Germany, during the 1955-56 year.
The grant is one of approximately 400 made by the Department of State for lecturing and research abroad, and the fifth made this spring to KU teachers.

geological. Dr. Brunckhalter joined the faculty in 1947. He since has been one of KU's leaders in receipt of funds from industry for research. He has synthesized an anti-malarial drug now marketed throughout the world. Others of his compounds are undergoing extensive tests for use against amebic dysentery. Several anticonvulsant drugs he synthesized recently for possible use in treatment of epilepsy have shown promising activity in animal tests.

According to Cadet Col. Kenneth Cox, engineering sophomore, committee chairman for the mock battle, approximately 40 of the men will comprise an assault element while the remainder will be the aggressor unit manning the machinegun.
The platoon of friendly troops will march from the general vicinity of the stadium until it reaches the area just below the flagpole and Sachem cairn. At this point the aggressor machinegun will open fire. The platoon immediately will take cover and prepare to assault the machinegun.
One squad will form a base of fire with rifles and two light machineguns while the other two squads withdraw and begin to flank the aggressor machinegun.
While the two squads are working their way to an advantageous position one of the men in the base of fire squad will be "hit" by
Life May Cover Army Mock Battle
Photographers from Life magazine may be present at the mock battle at 4 p.m. tomorrow according to Cadet Lt. Col. Richard C. Shaw, first captain of company G-4 of Scabbard and Blade.
Shaw received a call from the Denver representative of Life who said that his office is clearing through the New York office in order that they might get coverage of the battle.
KU's unit presents one of the few demonstrations of this type in the country. With the addition of much more equipment than they had last year, including a helicopter from Topeka, this year's mock battle will probably be one of the most complete put on by any Scabbard and Blade unit.
A crowd of more than 1,000 persons is expected by the campus police who are in charge of controlling traffic.
As soon as the two assault squads are ready they will signal the third squad who will lift their fire. When the fire is lifted the assault squads will move in to destroy the aggressor machinegun emplacement.
enemy fire. Aid men will carry him on a litter to the stadium, where he will be evacuated by a helicopter.
Col. Cox expressed concern that children might wander into the demonstration while it is in progress. The children can have all the empty cartridge cases they can carry away after the demonstration, but there is an element of danger if they get in the middle of demonstration while it is in progress, he said.
Scabbard and Blade has obtained 3,000 rounds of blank .30 caliber ammunition, colored smoke grenades, practice fragmentation grenades, TNT, barbed wire, and recordings of small arms fire and artillery fire to add to the realism of the battle.
Non-commissioned officers of the Army ROTC staff will be safety NCO's to insure that the demonstration will be effective, but not lethal. Wearing white helmet liners so that they can be easily identified, they will be with each machinegun and with the controls that set off the TNT charges.
DR. ERNST GELLHORN
Neurophysiology Expert to Speak
Dr. Ernst Gellhorn, professor of neurophysiology at the University of Minnesota, will lecture here Thursday afternoon on "The Psychological Basis of Consciousness."
Dr. Gellhorn's lecture is sponsored by the Neurology club and the School of Medicine. It is one of two University lectures Thursday, both open to the public. Dr. Gellhorn is scheduled to speak at 4 p.m. Thursday in 124 Malott.
His best known works in writing and research are "Autonomic Imbalance and the Hypothalamus," "Autonomic Regulations," and his most recent, "Physiological Foundations of Neurology and Psychiatry." "Physiological Basis of Consciousness" constitutes one of six sections in the latter, with discussions on both the physiology and the pathology of consciousness.
The Air Force ROTC drill team will present a precision drill show at 7:30 p.m. today in South Park. The show is in conjunction with the University unit's celebration of Armed Forces week.
The fuselage of a B-29 superfortress is still on display at South Park. There are Air Force technicians on hand to explain parts of the aircraft to all visitors.
Dr. Gellhorn, who has been in his present position since 1943, was born in Germany and educated there. He holds the doctorate of philosophy from the University of Muenster and the doctor of medicine degree from the University of Heidelberg, both granted in the same year.

The proposal was submitted by William R. Arnold, senior, and Robert G. Bush, sophomore, both of the college. The study was compiled by the All Student Council labor committee over a period of two school years.
Dr. Murphy said a decision on the matter would be reached following an IBM study by Executive Secretary to the Chancellor, Raymond Nichols.
Both the student representatives and the chancellor agreed that to institute a minimum wage would require a larger appropriation for student wages. Dr. Murphy said the proposal would have to be submitted in the University budget to the Kansas lexislature next January.
Arnold said the labor committee felt about $3,000 would be needed to cover the increase in wages.
The chancellor said the University is now attempting to standardize wages and that this would be possible after the study by Mr. Nichols.
NICHOUS.
The proposal would clearly not be implemented, the chancellor said, at the cost of reducing work. He said the plan might go into effect "if we are able to find the money at the top that is being inequitably spent."
A 65 cent minimum wage law has been a plank on both student political parties this year. Before making its recommendation, the ASC labor committee tabulated information on wages and numbers of employees from the University of Colorado, Iowa State University, University of Oklahoma, and Kansas State college. Only, Kansas State, had a lower
Only Kansas State had a lower average hourly wage than KU.
