Engineering Exposition Starts 10 a.m. Tomorrow
The School of Engineering will open its doors for the 32nd annual Engineering Exposition at 10 a.m. Friday.
The mechanical menagerie annually attracts thousands of visitors from Lawrence and nearby communities. This year's show promises to be no letdown from previous expositions. There will be more than 125
exhibits represented.
Among the larger exhibits is a model village and countryside constructed by civil engineering students. Built to scale, the panorama illustrates problems in civil engineering such as bridges, a power dam, superhighway, water treatment plant, and a railroad.
"Fewer displays have been set up this year," according to Gene Rogers, publicity chairman of the Exposition. "We've placed less emphasis on quantity, more on quality. Many of our exhibits have been abandoned in favor of new ideas and new exhibits," he said.
The "magic brain," prize-winning exhibit last year—has undergone
mechanical improvements which make it more versatile than before. The aeronautical engineering department also will display a version of "The Thing", a trunk containing a gyroscope taken out of a wartime bombsight.
A broadside view of civilian defense in Kansas will be presented by the engineering physics department.
The departments are competing for the Sigma Tau silver cup awarded for the most outstanding display in relating scientific principles and recent scientific developments in terms the layman can understand.
The award will be presented at 3 p.m. Saturday by T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering.

Pach-NOW Primary Invalid', Logan Rules
James Logan, All Student Council president, today declared the Pachacamac-NOW primary "invalid" and instructed the elections committee to leave Pachacamac-NOW nominees of the general elections ballot Wednesday, April 9.
The action was taken by Logan after Pachacamac disregarded an ASC ruling that all voters in Wednesday's closed party primary must show party identification in order to vote.
If this order goes into effect, the names of all Pachacamac-NOW candidates will be stricken from the ballot of the general elections, leaving only a slate of FACTS candidates.
He said he hoped Pachacamas leaders could get together with the elections committee of the ASC to work some plan for getting Pachacamascandidates recognized on the general elections ballot.
Logan said today he was "sorry" he had to take such action, but when a small group of students decides to take authority into its own hands, strict disciplinary measures are called for.
The film shows the work of the Pocket Testament league in Japan and Formosa. The league is an interdenominational missionary society that distributes gospels to needy persons abroad.
One major consideration prompted bis taking this action, he said.
"If such a group were to assume positions on the All Student Council since they have disregarded one Council ruling, KU students would have no guarantee that this group would abide by other stipulations of the ASC constitution," he explained.
Logan asked the Kansan to print the following letter which formed the basis for Pachacamac's violation of the ruling;
A documentary film, "Now or Never" will be shown at the Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in room 131 of Strong hall.

"If anyone tells you otherwise or tries to close the polls, no matter what his rank or title, tell him that

BULLETIN
Basketball coach, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, went on the public speaking circuit today and consequently was not available for comment on a report his Olympic coaching status may be challenged.
The New York Herald-Tribune said last night it had learned Dr. Allen's position as assistant coach of the Olympic squad would be challenged by a senior executive board of the Olympic committee late this month.
The reason, the Herald-Tribune said, was "because of the public utterances and actions, past and present, of the stormy petrel of the basketball courts . . ."
Dr. Allen was en route to Dodge City. He had reservations at a hotel there but had not arrived at noon.
Dr. Allen became assistant coach automatically when his NCAA champion Jayhawks reached the finals of the Olympic trials against the Caterpillar Diesels of Peoria, Ill. Caterpillar Coach Warren Womble was named head Olympic coach.
There was no support of the Herald-Tribune story.
