Birthday Celebration Honors Daily Kansan Press 'Dean'
Guy M. Pennock, Daily Kansas printing foreman and employee of the University's various printing organizations for almost 42 years, celebrated a birthday yesterday with a party prepared by the staff of the University Press.
Mr. Pennock, who reveals his age as "over 60," joined the staff in the spring of 1911 when the printing plant was operated under the direction of the Alumni association and was located in the basement of Fraser hall.
Since that time, the printing was shifted to the journalism department and more recently under the University Press.
Mr. Pennock has served as lintotypist, superintendent of the press,
and printing superintendent. During his employment, the printing shop has moved into two buildings.
He will begin his 43rd year in the shop in April.

Dr. Bishop Reviews Pascal's Genius
By TOM STEWART
BY TOM STEWART "Pascal's was the mind of genius driven by passion," Dr. Morris Bishop, the year's second Humanities lecturer, said last night in Fraser theater.
Dr. Bishop, professor of Romance languages at Cornell university, weighed the distinctive qualities of the mind of Blaise Pascal, 17th century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist, in his discussion of "Pascal: The Mind of Genius."
The achievements of Pascal in the three fields were described by Dr. Bishop as products of the mind of a man "who had an extraordinary and magnificent mental equipment that is denied most persons."
The feature which marks the mind of genius, Dr. Bishop said, is that mind's tendency toward the ready perception of the relationships of the influences of life.
In Pascal's later life—he died when 39—the experienced the change of goals and attitudes which was marked by his writing a declaration of the mystical relationship he felt he had with God. Dr. Bishop said.
The change came, Dr. Bishop said, after Pascal had been subject to prolonged attack by disease. Thereafter he left science and his work behind as no longer important. He was a scientific methods of creative thought, working on himself and his relationship with God," Dr. Bishop said.
"Pascal felt that God had spoken to him personally, giving him the 'rational' mind." Pascal's aim came

to be "destruction of himself and absorption of himself into God," Dr. Bishop explained.
The Women's Athletic Association will have a board meeting at 4 p.m. today in Robinson gym, Betty Clinger, education senior and president, announced. WAA will sponsor a social from 8 to 9 p.m. Thursday in Robinson gym.
"Unfortunately, as he tried to destroy himself, he succeeded only in stabbing dummies thrown in his way by the deep and derisive character which lies at the foot of our soul.
"Pascal was trying with passion
to reach absence of passion. When he learned 'reality' of things, consequences of the realization demanded that he try to attain the state of trembling and tranquility recommended to him by one of his masters," Dr. Bishop said.
"I think," Dr. Bishop said, "that the mind of Pascal was the mind of genius attempting sainthood."
