Larry Heeb Named To Direct Recreation
Larry J. Heeb, superintendent of recreation in Lawrence for seven years, has been named to a position in the newly established Kansas Recreation service
Kansas Recreation service.
This program includes the establishing of a consultation service for communities seeking assistance in setting up recreation programs, and an enlargement of the training program for recreational personnel at the University.
Mr. Heeb, who did some graduate work at KU following graduation from LaCrosse State college in Wisconsin in 1935, will serve as recreation consultant and instructor in physical education.
Before coming to Lawrence in 1947, Mr. Heeb served for 11 years as supervisor of physical education in the public schools of Mason City, Iowa, where he organized and directed a year-round public recreation program.
Kansas towns and school districts may vote to levy up to one mill for tax-supported public recreation programs, and 30 communities already have this service, as well as 35 towns that carried on a summer program during 1952.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said few activities of the University have a greater potentiality of reaching so many Kansans. "Good recreation programs are now so varied in scope they offer something for

everyone, almost from the cradle to the grave," he said.
Mr. Heeb, who is past president of the Kansas Recreation association and is a member of the committee on recruitment, will assume his new duties September 1.
Netmen Whip Faculty In Diamond Thriller
By LETTY LEMON
It was the top of the ninth. The bases were full, and only one out had been recorded. Cleanup hitter Dick Buskirk, instructor in economics, strode surely to the plate, confidently eyed the crowd, and connected. The ball soared high up in the air—and plopped straight down into the waiting mit of freshman guard LaVerne Fiss.
Then Feverly hit--but Allen Kelley scooped up the ball and Hadley was forced out at third to end the inning and the ball game.
Confused? This sounds like a faculty meeting, or a basketball practice? Actually, it was a little of both as the varsity basketball team defeated the Faculty Fossils 8-7 in a nip and tuck game yesterday at the intramural field.
Heavy scoring for both groups chalked up in the second inning as Pfister, Verrey, Lawson and Earle crossed the initial sack for the Fossils, and Al Kelley, Martin, Petrich and Padgett toed home for the Varsity.
Pitcher Wes Johnson went all the way for the victorious Varsity team, giving up five hits. Faculty Fossil pitcher Harry Lawson lasted the full nine frames as he surrendered nine base bingles to a sharpeved basketball crew.
A hit of Hadley, three walks, and an error gave the Fossils their scoring opportunity, while four hits and Padgett's double accounted for the Varsity's tallies.
Both teams scored again in the third inning, as Fossil Fevrily blasted a triple and scored on the throw from center field after LoBello popped to Padgett. Everett Dye came home for the Varsity after hitting to center, taking second on a passed ball, and stealing third and home.
Facilitate Return—Fill Cards
Students transferring from one school to another or who plan to return for the summer or fall sessions are asked to fill out cards at the Registrar's office as soon as possible. "Stopping now to sign a card may save several hours of waiting when the student enrolls again. By doing this now, his enrollment records can be ready when he returns to school," Registrar James K. Hitt said.
Plane Flies Top of the World
Tokyo — (U.P.)— The Scandinavian airliner 'Hialmar Viking' pioneered the northwest passage from Europe to the Orient today, landing at Tokyo's International airport 34 hours and 53 minutes flying time after it set out across the top of the world from Oslo, Norway.
The Varsity tallied two runs in the last of the fourth to go ahead 7-5, Dean Kelley bunted, taking second on a wild throw to first and stealing third. He crossed the plate as Divich lit into the 3-2 pitch for a single. Divich scored as Fiss smacked the ball to left field.
The underdog fossils tied up the battle in the first of the sixth scoring Fevuriy and Reardon. A controversy raged as player-manager LoBello hit, took second on Reardon's single, stole third, then was called out at the base on a technicality.
Sixteen engineering students from the student chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers were taken on a tour of the Sunflower ordnance works last Friday by L. M. Roper, works engineer of the plant.
Sixteen Engineers Tour Sunflower
The game was stalemated 7 all until first baseman Dye walked, took second on a wild throw, third on the throw from center after Brainard's fly ball, and crossed the initial bag on a single by third baseman Martin. The Faculty Fossils loaded the sacks in the top of the ninth but Valenstein and Hershkowitz, the tying and winning runs, were stranded on the bases.
Students were shown through various shops where extrusion dies are maintained and modified.
The trip was concluded with a bus tour through the entire plant as Mr. Roper explained different steps in the manufacturing of powder.
Seniors May Pick Up Announcements Now
Senior announcements have arrived at the business office and should be picked up as soon as Jim Nellis, chairman, sold today.
There will be no other opportunity for seniors to order announcements for the June 8 graduation, he added.
Miss Joie Staplen, associate professor of physical education, has always been a great booster for volleyball.
But admittedly the game, has lost friends over so seemingly a small matter as the problem of putting up the net at proper height and tautness. So she decided to do something about it and did.
Volleyball Patent Issued
This week the U.S. Patent office granted Miss Stapleton a patent on a device for putting up nets. There's a Rube Goldberg look to the contraption but the operation is simple enough for a child.
Miss Stapleton has just finished getting a doctor of education degree from Columbia university, so got a patent and diploma the same week.
"I worked a lot harder for the diploma than for the patent," she said, "and the patent is twice as pretty as the diploma!"
No, Miss Stapleton doesn't expect to get rich. She hasn't found a manufacturer yet. But at least she expects no more broken fingernails in stringing nets at KU.
$30 Prize Award Won by Freshman
Shirley Ann Boatwright, fine arts freshman, is the winner of the $30 first prize in the John H. Kane competition for student correspondents.
Mr. Kane, an alumnus and retired vice president of the Phillips Petroleum company gave the prize money. The contest was to encourage students to interpret the spirit and activities of the university by writing for their hometown newspapers.
Wendell Sullivan, journalism junior, and Donald P. Smith, engineering freshman, tied for second place. Each received $20.
Sonya Cade, fine arts freshman,
received the $5 fourth prize.
Art Show Honors Senior
Joseph E. Stiles, a graduating senior in drawing and painting, has been honored this month with a one-man show of 23 oil and watercolor paintings in the Oklahoma Art Center in Oklahoma City. The 20-year-old artist also has received a scholarship to the Art Student league, New York, for next year.
