Engineers to Ask 3,700 to Exhibit
Approximately 3,700 letters of invitation to the 1953 Engineering Exposition, April 17-18, will be mailed this week.
Over 700 of the letters will be mailed to all high schools in Kansas and most of the high schools in western Missouri.
In addition, 3,000 letters will be mailed to various dignitaries of the state, all of the major companies in the United States, and to every personnel interviewer who has been on the campus since last fall.
Hints as to what one may expect to see at the exposition are also included: They are: a giant telescope made by one of the engineering students; an electronic robot "squirrel," a simulated miniature atomic blast, and the secret of the electronic "brain."
All the letters extend a personal invitation to attend the exposition. They tell the prospective guests that the exposition will be the greatest ever staged by the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The letters also state that by popular request demonstrations of jet engines, naval armament and electronic equipment, and prizes for math solutions will be featured at the exposition.

Can the Student Court Judge FACTS Fairly in the Pach Defamation Trial?
Interested Judges
Note: The following story, written by the Daily Kansan campus politics reporter, received too late for use on college-level publications in the印学 as to the merits of the justices hearing in the two proceedings. It is being in the new columns chiefly because of its timeliness.

It is understood that in any other court in this country no judge or jury member who can be shown to have at one time or another allied himself with any of the parties concerned in a case will be allowed to take part in the trial.
Loy Kirkpatrick, first year law, disqualified himself Sunday. His reason was that he was "intimately associated with FACTS since its inception." Several other members of the Student Council have equally intimate past associations with FACTS or Pach.
