Second French Mathematician Joins Faculty
A second distinguished French mathematician has joined the University faculty to work on special research.
Dr. Gustave Choquet of the University of Paris is the new visiting research professor. His work will be in the area of capacities and general theory, a project sponsored by the Office of Scientific Research of the U.S. Air Force.
"We are fortunate to obtain a mathematician of Dr. Chouquet's rank," Dr. G. Baley Price, mathematics department chairman, said. "The state department also has given him a Fulbright grant to help bring him here."
Dr. Nachman Aronszajn, another French mathematician, is beginning his third year at KU. He has divided his time between teaching advanced students and conducting studies for the Office of Naval Research."
Dr. Choquet holds the doctorate degree from The Sorborne in Paris.
He taught at the University of Grenoble before going to the University of Paris faculty in 1950. In 1946 he taught at the Institute de Francais in Krakow, Poland. Before the war he attended Princeton university on a Proctor fellowship.
Mrs. Choquet and their three children did not come to the United States.

Phi Delta Theta fraternity was announced recently as the winner of the Harvard trophy, the highest award given by national headquarters.
Phi Delts Win Greek Trophy
The national also announced that the Phi Delts won first place in the chapter publication contest with its entry, "The Kansas Phi." For this award the chapter will receive a leather-covered scrap book with the mounted crest and an inscription.
The award was given to the chapter for ranking highest in the United States in every phase of college activities. This includes scholarship, intramurals, activities, popularity on the campus, and number of men in varsity athletics. The award also covers a number of extracurricular activities in which the chapter has participated and excelled.
The Harvard trophy, a large sterling-silver traveling trophy, will remain at the chapter house until the end of the year, when it will again be awarded. A chapter must win the trophy three times in a row in order to keep it.
The Kansas chapter has won the award five times, as has Florida. The trophy is awarded annually, through the national fraternity, by the alumni club of Phi Delta Theta at Harvard university.

They Had Only One-
Schumann's speech today was expected to echo the stand taken by Hoppenot but he was also believed ready to support the British view expressed yesterday urging "flexibility" in arranging the peace conference.
United Nations — (UIP) — France was expected to give full support in the United Nations today to the United States' stand for immediate talks on arrangements for the Korean peace conference.
Henri Hoppenot, permanent French delegate, was among the first to welcome a recent suggestion by U.S. ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., that Far East Communist representatives meet personally with an American representative to work out arrangements for the parley.

U.S. May Get French Support
More than 60 men and women students attended the Independent Student association's organizational meeting of the ISA ward system Thursday.
French delegates to the U.N. also have indicated they would support the United States stand that suggestions for membership in the conference be discussed at the conference itself.
ISA president William Harmon,
college sophomore, explained the advantages of the system. The group then split into two caucuses.
It was understood Schumann would press for an immediate meeting of representatives of the United States and Communist China and North Korea to decide on a time and place for the peace conference. The United States has been seeking such a meeting.
French deputy foreign minister Maurice Schumann was due to present the French viewpoint in the General Assembly.
Ward I, consisting of all unorganized Independents living north of 13th street, elected Jack Buchanek, college junior, president, Richard Woodward, college freshman, social chairman, and Glen Steele, college freshman, intramurals manager.

Ward II, consisting of all unorganized Independents living south of 13th street, elected Joseph Robb, college freshman, president, Richard Fox, engineering freshman, social chairman, and Ron Linser, college intramural manager.
And We Should Complain About KU!
Just introduce that casually into a conversation and watch mouths drop. You see, this is my stock reply to all long-lost (three months) friends as they slap me on the back and shout, "And what did you do his summer?"
"There we were—8,200 men and one woman."
By JEERRY KNUDSON
(This occurs after they've completely finished their tales of trips to Europe, working on banana boats, and doing summer stock.)
As for me—I say—I was in the news this summer. (That brings them to attention.) Perhaps in a rather off-handed way I continue—but I was one of the 8,200 men at Camp Ripley, Minn., who were distinguished by having a lone female in their midst for two weeks' reserve training the last part of August.
The 31st annual High School Journalism conference will be held tomorrow in the Memorial Union.
You saw the story, of course? It was on the AP and UP and INS and
Seems that the army, which always wants to be so neat about everything, discovered they had a grand total of one (1) WAC reservist in the state of Wisconsin, and since said WAC reservist had to take her two weeks' training like all good little reservists--Camp Ripley made the nation's headlines.
Wide-World Press services and even in the Little Falls, Minn., Daily Herald.
But our WAC said that just any old place was all right, so she was billeted in a servicenem's club. (Which explained why MP's patrolled the place—something about regulations concerning WAC areas.)
Now it so happened that this WAC was attached—Army terminology, you understand—to our detachment of about 50 men.
And the dilemma created by this unorthodox situation made a few headaches. "Finding a place to sleep was a problem," the newspapers said.
So when excited comrades in arms
The newspaper stories gushed on that the WAC ate with us, trained with us...and at that point they ended abruptly and started off on another track.
Attempts at humor aside, our WAC was just another citizen-soldier doing her job. But for two weeks she found herself the central figure in a human interest comedy-drama which newsmen—and the American public—get such a kick out of.
Let me add that our WAC had a very pleasant personality but—comes the disillusion—she wasn't exactly the Marilyn Monroe type. (One really can't expect everything, you know.) But as one fatigue-clad philosopher aptly put it, with a roguish gleam in his eye:
"She's not much, but she's all we get!"
About 200 high school students and advisers from high schools throughout Eastern Kansas are expected to attend. Co-sponsors of the event are the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and the Kansas State High School Activities association.

At 9:30 a.m., Meredith Cromer, adviser of the Wichita East High School Messenger, will give the keynote talk in the newspaper division on "Functions of the Newspaper." In the yearbook section the main talk will be given by Dr. Oscar M. Haugh, associate professor of education at the University and formerly adviser at Wilson High school in St. Paul, Minn., on "Functions of the Yearbook."
One-hour round-table sessions will be held, beginning at 10:30 a.m. on procedures and problems in producing school newspapers and yearbooks.
Sessions in the newspaper section will be held on topography and makeup, and for managing editors and news officers, feature editors and writers, reporters, sports editors and business and advertising staff.
Yearbook sessions will be on preparing layout, selling advertising, writing copy and headlines, photography, and selling subscriptions.
