Campus Literati Have Variety of Reading Matter
Bv ROLLIN PESCHKA
News-minded, literary minded, and amusement-minded readers find a multitude of reading material published on the KU campus.
For the news-minded, foremost among the University publications is the University Daily Kansan. The Kansan is published five days a week during the school year. In the summer a summer school staff continues publication through the summer session.
The Jayhawker, KU's yearbook, is unique among college annuals because it is published as a quarterly magazine. Although there has been some criticism of this method, students generally have approved continuing it as a quarterly. The first issue of the Jayhawker is expected to be released before Thanksgiving vacation. Successive issues appear in January, March, and just prior graduation.
The campus humor magazine, the Sour Owl, has a sporadic publication date; a new issue appearing occasionally. True to form of campus humor magazines the Sour Owl contains borrowed jokes and satire on campus life.
The Quill club publishes a literary magazine, Trend. The first issue contains the prize-winning essays, poems, and short stories submitted in the Quill club contest conducted each fall.
A monthly University publication not intended primarily for Hill consumption is the Alumni magazine. This magazine, sponsored by the Alumni association, is sent to all alumni and includes a coverage of campus events, faculty and building changes, and news of alumni. The October issue was devoted to the new Physical Sciences building and the departments housed there.
Some individual departments and schools on the Hill publish magazines or newsletters for their students and faculty. The Air Force ROTC newsletter, Air Male, is distributed to all men enrolled in AFFOTC classes. The School of Engineering and Architecture publishes the Kansas Engineer, a quarterly magazine with feature stories, interviews, and new developments in engineering and architecture.
Each fall the K-book, a guidebook to the campus, is given new students of the University. Among the fall publications are the KU Datebook and the Student Directory, a housing and telephone directory of all the students and faculty at KU.
108 Alumni Honored By Awards Since 1941
By IRENE COONFER
As scientists, journalists, lawyers, doctors—as leaders in nearly every field—KU alumni long have distinguished themselves and the record of the University.
Realizing the need to recognize outstanding service, the Alumni association and University jointly awarded the first distinguished alumni citations June 9. 1941. The specially made scrolls which cited each recipient's achievements carried a distinction similar to an honorary degree, which the University does not grant.
Now 108 former students have been honored with the leather bound, engraved certificates. Signed by the chancellor, the president of the Alumni association, and the alumni secretary, they also include a copy of the recognition read at the citation ceremony.
In order to qualify for the award, the nominee must meet specific standards which include good citizenship, significant contributions to his community, state, or nation, his service to society, rather than management, and living alone. In his lifetime activities, rather than a single incident.
Recipients are chosen by a secret committee of nine members, which is chosen by the chancellor and alumni president. The committee studies the nominations submitted, adding its own candidates if defended or objects persons as many different fields of endeavor as possible.
The citation committee considers 15 years the period which should elapse from the time a nominee leaves the campus before he is considered eligible for the award. Its field of selection is limited to
Hollander Beats International Rules
Mansfield, Ohio — (UP) — Peter van Harlingen, late of the Hague, Netherlands has beaten both inter-
lacements and local housing shortage.
The 52-year-old stonemason came here in 1950, but was forced to leave behind him some 10,000 guilders which the Netherlands' government would not permit to be taken from the country.
Now, however, van Harlingen, his wife and son have gotten their money out of Holland—in kind—and have a house to show for it, and a charming one at that.
Van Harlingen, with the help of relatives still in Holland, managed to buy a pre-cut six-room house, complete with an eight-ton tile roof, in the old country. It was crated and shipped here.

Odds Against Winning Tilt
By VIRGINIA BARTLETT
BY VIRGINIA BARTLETT
Ah, yes. It's homecoming season again. Or hadn't you noticed the preoccupied expressions and abstract answers to your questions?
But wait—amidst the celebration preparations, there falls a shadow of gloom.
What is this spirit dampener? Statistics. According to statistics, the odds are against our winning this homecoming game.
Take, for instance, the past 15 years. Since 1940, homecoming has fallen on the KU-Nebraska game six times, with Nebraska winning four of these battles. During this same period, the Huskers have won 10 of the 15 annual games with Kansas.
