Joe College Picks School Over Job
By JERRY RENNER
I didn't spend the summer vacationing in Europe, visiting Canada, or buying silver trinkets in Mexico. I was scared to leave the house, even to go to work, for fear I'd fail to intercept the mail man with that ghostly letter to my family from the registrar.
Receiving residence scholarships to Watkins hall are: Wilma Ludwig, Topeka; Ruth Porter, Mayetta; Mary Sandra Rhodes, Little River; Florence Thomas, Perry; Dorris Toland, Mount Ayr, Ia., and Barbara Tweet, Kansas City, Kan.
What could I say? I was trapped.
"Yes. Dad. I have."
One day in August, Dad said,
"Son, have you begun looking for a job?"
The city had an opening for a man-in the street and alley department and he thought I should take it.
The award of scholarships to three men and 14 women has been announced by Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women and chairman of the undergraduate aids and awards committee.
The first day at work the boss pointed to me and said, "Help
To Miller hall: Freida Easter,
Abilene.
Ten women were named to residence hall scholarships. Savings produced by the cooperative share the work and expenses operation of these halls make each scholarship worth about $300.
The other four women and three men receive cash scholarships in varying amounts up to $160, the total of all first year fees for a new student.

those men unloud 800 sacks of cement off that railcar."
I couldn't make him realize my unlimited intellectual potentialities. I nowhere—except to pick up a sack of Portland cement weighing at least 2,000 pounds and carry it up to the truck and drop it.
1. sir? 12 But I'm a college man!
It's such a waste of talent."
"Gently now, don't break the sack." What indignities these arms, which only a few weeks before had held Kappas and Corbinites, were being subjected to!
"Yes. sir."
"Hey, Joe College, can't you stack those sacks neatly?" the boss would bellow as he sat on his—bench. (Notely! Isn't it enough to get the cursed things moved?)
The next two weeks somebody told me to widen streets so I axed trees, bushes, hedges—and co-workers.
Said the boss, "I want you to do a job that takes a lot of responsibility and has to be done right."
Every morning I'd wake up and say, "Those NROTC men are in Paris today." I could see lovely Parisian girls tripping down the Champs Elysées. Then I'd cry out in agonized pain. "I can't dig a sewer ditch today. I can't, I can't!"
One day a painter fell off a viaduct and I found myself dangling over the railroad tracks by a loose "safety" belt 100 feet in the air painting the outside railing.
But the boss said he wanted to talk to me. I knew some intolerant crank had complained because I dropped my full paint bucket in his convertible. But it wasn't that.
"What is it, boss? Do you want me to do a feature story a day on you, or write a novel on the night club life of a street and alley worker, or tell the word how we spray the city dump?"
I told them, "This is not making full use of my talent either." One K-State "student" offered to cut the rope one day.
I and a senior for York college, who also remained to be "discovered," began to put little white blocks down main street. For weeks! For months! For years! We laid white blocks down main street, then yellow ones for parking, then white lanes across the highway.
We didn't work fast, but we did a quality job. Everybody in town said we'd never get through in time to go back to school. But we had no contract to finish the job.
One day I found an autumn leaf in the street and I knew September had come. I heard the distant song of sirens, felt my muscles tighten to climb the hill, saw skirts and tight sweaters, and smelled the sweet provocative perfumes of college girls.
I enrolled and am looking forward to a wonderful year. I'm taking biology, again; repeating speech; re-enrolling in Western Civ and tried for that new course called "How to Study and Like It." . . . Then, too, I thought I might drop over to North College in the evenings.

Dr. Alexander C. Mitchell of the University Health service staff Tuesday was appointed officially as physician for Kansas athletic teams by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Harold A. Dundee, a doctoral candidate in zoology, has received a $400 research grant from the national chapter of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific research society.
Dr. Charles D. Michener, chairman of the department, was invited to address the annual Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religion meeting in New York Sept. 2-5. He spoke on "Problems in the Development of Social Behavior and Communication Among Insects."
Mitchell graduated from KU with a B.S. in civil engineering in 1940. He served five years with an anti-aircraft detachment during World War II. He was graduated with honors from the KU Medical school in 1950 and completed his internship at St. Louis City hospital in 1951.
Dr. Mitchell To Team Job
Dr. Mitchell succeeds Dr. Maurice Gross who was forced to give up the job because of ill health. Mitchell has been serving the Jayhawk football squad since practice opened Aug. 30.
Dundee Awarded Research Grant
Dundee, also is an assistant instructor in zoology.
"We regret losing Dr. Gross on this job." Murphy said, "but we feel fortunate in obtaining the services of Dr. Mitchell."
The grant is to assist his study of the growth processes of the salamanders of the Ozark plateau. He did field work in Missouri and Arkansas this summer.
Salamanders are harmless, lizard-like creatures whose insignificant appearance belies their scientific importance to zoologists. Unlike a lizard the salamander has a soft, moist skin and no scales.
Robert R. Sokal, a research associate, was on the program of the Society for the Study of Evolution meeting at Cornell university, Ithaca, N.Y., Sept. 8-10. His paper was titled "Geographic Variation of Character Correlations of Aphids."
