KU Med Center Enhances Beauty Of Kansas City
By ALTON DAVIES
Spreading out on top of Mount Oread and offering an impressive view from both highways leading to Lawrence stand the many buildings of the campus which are a source of pride to the people of this city and of the state. But Mount Oread is only half of the campus.
In some ways more impressive, the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City also spreads out over a three to four square block area. The dozen or more modern buildings are a source of pride to that city too.
Among the newest additions to the center are the new lecture auditorium and the nurses' quarters. The latter building is completely modern in design, with a winding leading to the main entrance
Some 500 University students are receiving their internships or completing their training in the center. Nowhere in the state could they receive such complete and varied training, as the many functions of the center cover everything from measles to polio.
Research in many of the "incurable" diseases is being carried on in the hospital. It is recognized as one of the finest in the nation in the treatment of polio. Each year, as the "dangerous months" of polio epidemics are reached, the number of cases reported at the Center increases. From as far west as Denver and as far east at Tennessee come the many cases to receive the treatment offered by the center.
Among its other important functions is that of providing free medical aid to the state's welfare families. Those who cannot afford to pay for the medical aid they need may get it free at the Center. From eye glasses to cancer treatment, the Center provides the needed aid free of charge. Those who can't pay receive the same service as those who can pay.
The steady growth of the Kansas City campus is evidence of the faith the leaders of the state have in the future of the medical profession in Kansas and the part that the University will play in that growth.
Congratulations on the 30th

Banquet Ends Law Day; Miss Landeene Is Queen
The Annual Law day culminated last night with a banquet in the Student Union ballroom where Miss Phyllis Landeene, Pi Beta Phi, was crowned "Miss Res Ipsa Loquitur."
Runnersup in the Queen contest were Miss Jody Hobbs, Delta Delta Delta, and Miss Isabel Bolin, Gamma Phi Beta.
The entire activities of the day were dedicated to Prof. Robert McNair Davis, of the Law school, who is retiring in June. An award was given to him at the banquet. The award was in the form of a portrait of Prof. Davis, which will be hung in the Law school library.
Several students received awards at the banquet, Walter Kennedy and Donald Tinker, both second year law, received the Moot Court awards. Picked for the Law Review's award were Kennedy and Jerry Berkley, third year law. Two students who graduated in February, Herbert Hooper and Camilla Klein, were honored with the Order of the Coif, law equivalent to a Phi Beta Kappa award.
Principle speaker at the banquet was Walter Huxman, former governor of Kansas, who is now federal judge of the Circuit Court of Appeals in Topeka. The topic of his speech was "The Place of the Lawyer in Modern Society."
The day's activities commenced at 10 a.m. when the lawyers presented their annual skit, which is a take-off on the idiosyncracies of the law professors.
A picnic at Prof. Charles Oldfather's farm followed the skit. Feature attraction at the picnic was the inter-Law school softball game, which was won by the second year class.
At noon the lawyers tangled with the engineers in their annual tug-of-war at Potter lake. The contest ended in an anti-climax, however, when the rope broke three times.
The two teams started out with 50 men on each side, then decreased to 25, and then to 11 in hopes that the rope would hold. Plans are being formulated on having an encore of the event later in the Spring, perhaps at the Senior Day activities.

NROTC Officer Plans Medical Career in Fall
By SAM JONES
A move from instructor to student is facing Lt. (jg) Patrick J. Barrett this September when he is released from the Navy to the KU Medical School.
Lt. (jg) Barrett, with a bachelor's degree in pre-medicine from the University of Notre Dame, has decided to attend the KU Medical School since he's "heard that the school is tops."
Assigned to the NROTC unit here since November 1953, Lawrence and KU have made quite an impression on Mr. Barrett and his wife, Joan.
In the NROTC unit, Mr. Barrett is a freshman instructor in the "Evolution of Sea Power," faculty adviser to the Hawkwatch society and the unit newspaper—"The Seahawk"—Navy representative for Armed Forces day, and is assigned to rewrite the Navy section of the University catalogue.
Lt. Barrett graduated from Notre Dame in 1951 with majors in chemistry and zoology. He was
commissioned an ensign from the NROTC program.
From South Bend, Mr. Barrett was assigned to the USS Uhlmann. Of the 30 months spent on the destroyer, 16 were in the Korean area. "I had two complete tours in the Far East aboard the ship," Mr. Barrett said.
On the day of the ship's arrival at Pearl Harbor in October 1953, Mr. Barrett was detached from the ship with orders to KU for NROTC duty.
When Lt. (jg) Barrett was told he was being assigned to KU for instructor duty, he had indoctrination into the school before he left the ship. The supply officer, Leonard Shinn, graduated from the KU Law school in 1951, and "sang the praises of KU all over the ship."
