'Simple and Dignified' Inauguration To Be Million-Dollar Extravaganza
Washington—(U.P.) The “simple and dignified” induction ceremony which President-elect Eisenhower once said he wanted was shaping up today as three-day extravaganza, the first million-dollar inauguration in history.
The program includes balls, a festival, a concert, tours, luncheons, private parties by the score, elephants, airplanes, a parade, and oh, yes—the inaugural ceremony itself, at noon next Tuesday, on the east front of the Capitol building.
Everybody insisted on getting into the act, and just about everybody succeeded. In case anyone has trouble spotting Eisenhower, he will be the man with a broad smile beneath a black homburg, riding down Pennsylvania avenue in the convertible, just behind the motorcycles and ahead of the 10 miles of Indians, horses, governors, girls, cowboys, floats, Eskimo dogs, and members of the New Hampshire Snow Shoe
Except for a few $4.80 to $12 tickets to a fancy coneret at Constitution hall Sunday night, the whole whingding is already a sell-out. Hotel reservations are something you either already have, or don't need to get.
The demand for tickets to the inaugural ball Tuesday night—at $15 each—was so heavy a second hall was hired. Close to 10,000 tickets have been sold, and more than 100 boxes (at $30 per box). Eight bands have been hired. Both halls will be jammed. Dancing, presumably
Twelve graduate students were initiated into Phi Sigma biology fraternity Tuesday night at ceremonies in Snow hall.
Twelve Initiated Into Phi Sigma
They are Joseph Davidson, Richard Hoar, Ivan Janosky, Collen Macpherson, and Jacqueline Sinks from the anatomy department; James Fevurty from the bacteriology department; Roland Anderson and David Kidd from the botany department; Norman Hillier, John M. Kendrick, and Norman Wenger from the physiology department, and William Wilson from the zoology department.
will be elbow-to-midriff.
Monday's "festival," a sort of super-vaudeville show featuring top figures in the entertainment world, also was a fast sell-out, at an average price of $7 per copy.

front of the White House where Gen. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon, sitting under a roof and over a heater, will watch the $2\frac{1}{2}$ hour procession that follows them down from the Capitol.
The 60,000 hard, unsheltered seats along the parade route are spoken for, too. They cost from $3 to $15 each, depending on how close you got to the big reviewing stand in
As for the 15,000 sit-down spaces in Capitol plaza, where Gen. Eisenhower will take his oath and make his inaugural address, they were free. Congressmen passed them out, at an estimated ratio of one ticket to 25,000 applicants.
Engineering Group To Hear Graduate
Herbert O. Hartung, '30, will be the featured speaker at the Third Annual Sanitary Engineering conference which will be held Thursday in the Union.
Currently the production engineer for the St. Louis County water department, Mr. Hartung received his bachelor's degree in civil engineering. His talk at the conference will be based on a study by the American Water Works association's technical committee, of which he was chairman.
The conference is sponsored by the department of civil engineering at KU, and the Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health, with the aid of the University Extension.
TV Operates in Most States
Washington — (U.P.)- Television stations now are in operation or are authorized in all states except Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. Applications are pending for stations in each of those states. The Federal Communications Commission has authorized a total of 283 TV stations in 177 cities.

AAS Plans Drive To Collect Blood
The Arnold Air society plans to kick off its recruiting drive for the Red Cross blood drive in the Military Science building Feb. 18-20 by distributing parental consent forms to students under 21, recruiting chairman Dick McCall, business senior, said today.
McCall said that Arnold Air society members hope to begin the distribution sometime this week.
The society has set up four committees to handle the recruiting, two to be responsible for publicity and operations, and two to contact members in organized houses and in the ROTC units.
The University was awarded a banner from the Red Cross for 1,000 pints of blood collected in two drives in 1952—the first in January and the second in the spring, McCall pointed out. He said that the society hoped to obtain 1,000 pints this year in only one drive.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, head of the student health service, said that the three-day drive was assigned to the University by Douglas county. He explained that the district Red Cross office in Kansas City sets certain dates in the year for Douglas county to collect blood and that the county turned over three days to the University.
Dr. Canuteson said that the Red Cross will send two units this year instead of one and that 350 pins could be handled a day. One unit consists of five nurses, two nurse technicians, two supply men, and a doctor, he said. Most of the blood will go to Korea.
