Aspirin Plant Wins Exposition Honors
A model aspirin-manufacturing plant, built by students in the chemical engineering department, took top honors in the 33rd annual Engineering Exposition Friday and Saturday.
The aspirin plant was judged by members of Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, representing all departments of the school. A large traveling trophy was presented to the department for its entry.
A department may keep the trophy it has the best exhibit three years
General chairman of the Exposition, Keith Hartell, electrical engineering senior, said "Although we had expected about 15,000 persons to attend, bad weather cut the number of visitors to about 10,000."
"It was one of our best Expositions," he said, "on the basis both of presentation and variation of exhibits. Members of the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers went through the Exposition and were pleased with everything they saw."
The chemical engineering exhibit, shown in the basement of Lindley ball, was built on a small table, and consisted of reactor tanks, filters, chemical towers, dryers, and tablet stamping machines. It exhibited every step of aspirin manufacture, every step of salicylic acid synthesis with a carrier, naptha, to the emergence of a completed tablet.
Many exhibits drew special praise, as did the amateur telescope made by Karl Esch, engineering physics senior, which was commended by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Women received a surprise, as they entered the mechanical engineering exhibit in the basement of Fowler shops, when they were greeted by a strategically placed air hose. A pretty blush covered most of the feminine faces, as they
Aircraft Employes To Discuss Plane

his father in Cornelia,
Athletic Director A. C. Lonborg said he hoped to announce a successor within a few days.
Kimsey came to Kansas when Coach J. V. Sikes assumed the head reins in 1948. He is one of Georgia's all-time greats, having captained the Orange Bowl team of 1941. He won the most outstanding senior athlete award in 1942.

Murphy to Make European Visit
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has accepted an invitation to represent the Association of American Universities at the quinquennial meeting of the Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth.
The appointment as one of ten delegates was given Dr. Murphy by the executive committee of the association through Dr. Harold W. Dodds, president of Princeton university.
Grants from the Carnegie corporation and Rockefeller foundation make possible the representation of the Association of American Universities. The association's membership comprises 37 of the nation's leading schools.
Dr. and Mrs. Murphy, and others in the delegation, will leave about July 1. The formal meetings in England are July 8-18, the first portion of the period at Durham and the latter at Cambridge.
Dr. Murphy will spend some time surveying the operations of universities in England and Scotland.
He and Mrs. Murphy also will visit France and Ireland before returning home.

Engineering Senior Wins AME Award
John Richard Transue, engineering senior, has been named one of ten national winners of the American Military Engineer's award. He is the first KU student to receive this honor.
Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture will present the medal to Transue during the Army, Navy, and Air Force Armed Forces day parade, May 15.
Transan won the award over 150,- 000 other air cadets in the United States. Each year each of the 209 Air Force units pick a nominee for the American Military Engineer's award. A national committee picks the top ten men in the United States. The recipients of the award must be engineering students and Air Force cadets.
Transus has been one the dean's honor roll each semester with his grade point average of 2.89 of a possible 3.00. He stands as second in his class. He is also a Summerfield scholar.
University Library Purchases Natural Science Collection
Transue is president of the local chapter of Sigma Tau.
Books and manuscripts about botany and other natural sciences assembled by the late Thomas Jefferson Fitzpatrick, were purchased by the University library, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said at a dinner Friday following an annual lecture on books and bibliography.
Fitzpatrick, formerly a botany teacher at the University of Nebraska, died last year at the age of 84. The non-scientific portion of the great private library, dealing with midwestern history, was published by the Kansas City, Mo., public library.
The Fitzpatrick collection brings approximately 30,000 books, magazines, and manuscripts to the University. Chancellor Murphy described them as "rounding out and enhancing the value of the Ralph Ellis ornithological collection and the Clendening library on the history of medicine."
Fitzpatrick, a descendent of President Jefferson, was acknowledged as the world's authority on C. F. Rafin-
esque, the "father of botany in America." His collection of books and manuscripts by and about Rafin-esque is considered the world's finest.
Wes Santee to Run On FACTS Ticket
