"Do you think the University should have educational television?"
Vern Lemon, graduate student: "I would like to see it, but I don't think the good we would get out of it for the first few years, would justify the tremendous cost."
Donna Marie Robinson, college junior: "I think they could improve a number of other things at this University before they invest that much money in a television station."
Howard Wright, graduate student; "I think it would be very worthwhile. It would afford many people the opportunity to get valuable training they might otherwise never obtain."
Sam W. Smith, college freshman; "I don't think there is much to be accomplished by having an educational station here at KU. Nothing could be accomplished in the technical field without a staff of at least 30 professional employees. Of course, it would offer many good opportunities in the production field, but the cost would be prohibitive."
LaDene Cummins, college freshman: "I think it will be a good thing if students can work out a plan to raise the money. It would offer television to a lot more people in western Kansas."
Bill R. Scholes, engineering freshman: "I think it has a lot of possibilities, but it wouldn't be practical here, because we wouldn't have adequate facilities to cover a large enough area."
Dale Moore, fine arts junior; "I think it would be one of the greatest things that could happen for the school, particularly in the publicity field, and as a means for people in the entertainment field to gain experience."
Virginia Brooks, education junior; "As far as education is concerned, I think it would be pretty good. I think the University spends money on a lot stillier things."

Job-Hunting College Seniors Have Never Had It So Good

job-hunting college senior never had it so good.
"Business is telling us 'You educate and we'll train'," said C. H. Kauffmann of the University of Virginia. Princeton university and Dartmouth college, with large numbers of liberal arts students, report
Engineers, accountants, sales personnel, and teachers appear to head the list for job opportunities. But there's competition also for nonspecialized liberal arts graduates.
"Very few of them will have to hunt for jobs—the jobs are coming to them," said a University of Utah placement director, Harold Carlson.
Placement officers of some 50 colleges and universities across the country, spot-checked by United Press, agreed with him.
Starting salaries for their much-sought June graduates average well over $300 a month, college officials said. They estimate that's about $25 better than last year, and the highest in memory. Some specially trained students are considering "bids" as high as $600.
nearly as high demands for graduates as the engineering schools.
Campuses have been humming with business and industry recruiters since October. The University of Tennessee reported 95 per cent of them are willing to hire young men for whatever training period is possible before their draft numbers come up, counting on their return to the job in two years. About 20 per cent of the colleges checked reported such willingness to ignore the draft, sometimes in only a few special fields.
The colleges estimate that 50 to 85 per cent of the male class of 1953 will be drafted and working for Uncle Sam before the year is out. But even that isn't holding down their job opportunities.

Clayton Krebblief, assistant professor of music education, will be assistant music director for the production. The University Little Symphony orchestra will furnish music for the operas.
The double bill is a feature of National Music week. "The Well" is a chamber opera written by Louis Mennini. Music for the comic opera Prima Corna was composed by Aurélie Benjamin and the libretto by Cedric Cliffe.
Two modern one-act operas, "The Well" and "Prima Donna", will be presented May 7-9 in Fraser theater by the University Theatre and the School of Fine Arts.
The musician director of both operas is Hans Schwiiger, conductor of the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. Dr. John Newfield, director of the University Theatre, will be stage director. The two worked together this month as music and stage directors for the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra opera festival.
The scientist and mathematician considers his new conclusion the crowning achievement of his 74-years of life—conclusions that may remove all mystery from fundamental laws governing the cosmos.
In the cast for "The Well" are Dale Moore, fine arts senior, as David; Gretta Reetz, fine arts sophomore, as Regina; Virginia Reenbaugh, fine arts freshman, as Miss Reetz' understudy; Richard Wright, fine arts senior, as Jonathan; Carolyn Chard, fine arts freshman, as Sarah; Harriet King, fine arts junior, as Miss Chard's understudy; Jerry Hart, fine arts freshman, as the constable; William Moore, college junior, and Joseph Myers, college senior, as two villagers, and Maurice Casey, education junior, as the priest.
Prof. Einstein's conclusions, the immediate result of a three year scientific retreat, are published by the Princeton University press as an appendix to the fourth edition of his book. The meaning of relativity is a science published in 1853. He calls it "Generalization of Gravitation Theory."
2 Modern Operas Slated for May
New York—(U,P)—Albert Einstein has published new theories of relativity which he expects to become the master key to the physical makeup and operation of the universe.
Einstein Presents 'Key to Universe'
The new Einstein theory is a development of his earlier known convictions that the material universe is composed of two major fields, the field of gravitation and the electromagnetic field.
"Prima Donna" cast members are Moore, as Florinda; Myers, as Alcino; Barbara Blount, fine arts freshman, as Olimpia; Edwina Jones, education junior, as Flammetta; Ronda Bakyr, fine arts sophomore, as Belinda, and Sandra Keller, college freshman, as Miss Bakyr's understudy. The basso-buffo part of the count will be sung by Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice.
His belief is that the physical uni-

From this evolved the new deductions that all knowledge is based on certainty. Prof. Einstein hopes it will eventually produce information and laws showing the universe to be a continuous operation, governed by immutable laws in which individual events are predictable.
Westminster Unit Honors Executive
An informal coffee hours at 8:30 p.m. today at Westminster house will allow students to meet the Rev. Kenneth Reeves, an executive of the department of university work of the Presbyterian church of the United States.
Dr. John Patton, University Presbyterian pastor, explained that the Rev. Reeves, Philadelphia, is visiting some of the 120 campus groups throughout the country similar to the Westminster foundation.
Britons Pay Homage At Queen Mary's Bier
London—(U.P.)—An unending line of Britons shuffled through rainy London weather today to pay homage at the coffin of Queen Mary, the austere old lady they revered as "every inch a queen."
By midday an estimated 50,000 persons had passed solemnly by the catafalque on which the 85-year-old queen lay in state in West-minister hall. The lying-in-state was televised to millions last night. It was the first television of a lying-in-state in British history.
A long line of mourners started moving at 4:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m. CST) yesterday into Westminster hall where the coffin of the queen who saw six monarchs reign lay almost directly over the coffin sites of George V and George VI, her husband and son, respectively.
Largo, Fla. — (U.P.)—Investigators combed through a mass of ashes, blackened bed frames, and other debris today in an effort to determine the cause of a wind-whipped fire which killed 33 persons at a nursing home near here.
Meanwhile, Europe's dwindling royalty gathered for the funeral to
33 Aged Inmates Die in Florida Fire
Ages of the dead inmates ranged from 65 to 91. Twenty-nine of them were women.
William L, Littlefield, operator of the home, said the fire roared through the structure early Sunday and killed the 33 dazed and feeble inmates within 15 minutes. Twenty-five others escaped the flaming structure.
Five Students Attend Wichita Convention
Five members of the Home Economics club attended the state Home Economics club convention in Wichita last weekend.
The convention was for college home economics majors from the colleges in the state.
Those who made the trip are Diane McFarland and Barbara Moser, college juniors; Thelma Iden, education junior; Lola Helm, college freshman, and Nancy Pinkney, education junior.
morrow at Windsor castle, seat of Britain's kings and queens for many centuries.
Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh went into residence at the castle outside London today in preparation for the funeral in St. George's chapel.
The coffin will be moved privately early tomorrow to Windsor, historic burial place of British sovereigns. Until then it will be guarded continuously.
The greatest show of emotion throughout the night was by the old people—those who grew old with the queen.
In accordance with her last wishes, the nation's final ceremony were as simple as her position would permit. It took only 25 minutes for the Palm Sunday funeral procession to wind the mile from her Marlborough House residence where she died to Westminster hall.
A booming gun ticked off the minutes. Massed bands of the Brigade of Guards played funeral marches and muffled drums beat the step for the marchers whose footsteps were clearly audible.
The royal family, gathered by tragedy for the second time in little more than a year, clearly showed the strain of the long days of worry as Queen Mary's health declined until her death last Tuesday.
Queen Elizabeth, who called Mary "Grandma England" as a child, seemed especially touched.
