Judge Emphasizes Faith In Future
"Face the future with confidence," was the challenge given Wednesday evening by Judge Walter A. Huxman, U.S. Court of Appeals, to law students gathered at the Dine-a-Mite inn for the initiation banquet of Phi Alpha Delta, professional law fraternity.
"We are not standing on crossroad of destiny today any more than in ages past," he said. "We have problems and are concerned, but they are not greater than those that have faced humanity for years.
"We have stood at the crossroad of destiny throughout all of life—the battle of Thermopolis, the sack of Carthage, the overrunning of Europe by the Huns, for example. A crisis is but a change in life, and we are going to weather this crisis."
The former Kansas governor also reminisced about his experiences in politics and law, stressing that many cross-currents in life will take today's graduates into undreamed of paths of service.
As the most recent Democrat to serve in the state's highest office, he held that post from 1937 to 1946; he jokingly explained "how to become a federal judge." He was appointed to the 10th circuit bench in 1939 by President Roosevelt.
"A flip-over in politics is good for the country occasionally," Judge Huxman commented, and then added quickly, "but I'm not saying that now is the time. And I would remind my Republican friends that a flip-over in state politics is also advantageous occasion."
For the laws students, faculty, and Lawrence lawyers who were present, Judge Huxman had glowing words about the law profession. "Nothing as exhilarating or as stimulating as a private law practice. It isn't a monied profession, but it affords a free and good life. You are master; you can shape your own destiny."
The banquet culminated an afternoon of activities by the legal fraternity. Earlier, at the Douglas county court house, nine men had been initiated. They are Duane Hugh, Carl Anderson, Graydon Luney, Reuben Short, Eugene Balloun, Kent Shearer, Phil Waisblim, William Cain, and Donald Blinn, all first year law students.
Debate Teams To Enter Contest
Three University debate teams will compete Friday and Saturday in the St. John's College Invitational tournament at Winfield.
This tournament which is for freshmen and sophomores only is the oldest debate tournament in the country. It was the first debate tournament ever held.
The KU debate teams will be Hubert Bell and LEE Baird, college freshmen; Bill Arnold and Fred Rice, college freshmen, and Dick Sheldon and Bill Crews, college sophomores.
Topoka, Ks.
Each team will debate both sides on the national debate topic "Resolved, that the Federal Government Should Adopt a Permanent Program of Wage and Price Controls."
This is an elimination tournament and it is conceivable that two KU teams might oppose each other in the finals.
Crews, Sheldon, and Arnold will enter the impromptu contest and Bell, Baird, and Rice will enter the extemporary contest.
Trophies will be given to the first and second place teams in the be-bate contest. Medals will be given to the winners of the individual contests.
Teams from Missouri, Oklahoma Kansas, Colorado, Texas and Nebraska will participate in the tournament. Approximately 30 schools from these six states will attend.

Fine Arts Gets New Instrument
Thursday, March 6, 1952
A $4,800 harpsichord ordered from Paris three months ago arrived at the School of Fine Arts Wednesday.
The new instrument, with its harp-like music, is made of mahogany. It stands on five legs and is about 10 feet long. It has two keyboards and seven-foot pedals.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, whom Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, described as "a real connoisseur of music," stimulated interest in the harpsichord and arranged for its purchase.
The earliest evidence of it is a picture dated 1409. The instrument was used in one of the first operas ever presented—the "Euridice," which was given for the marriage festival of Marie de Medici and Henri IV of France. The popularity of the harpsichord reached its zenith in the 17th century when the French court was at its height.
The harpischord is a keyboard instrument.
Professor Chiapusso said a concert may be given on the harpichord this spring by either himself or Ronald M. Barnes.
Advanced piano students will receive some instruction on the harpsichord in the future.
Big Rally To Be Friday Morning
Ku Ku pledges carrying sandwich boards are heralding the start of the pep rally which will be held in front of Strong hall at 10:45 Friday.
A girlie show, featuring Lou Ann Snee and Vicki Rosenwald, college sophomores; Darlene Clark, business junior; Joey Brown, fine arts senior; Marjorie Godwin, college freshman, and Suzanne Salmhoffer, special student, will be held in conjunction with the traditional Doc Yak medicine show. This is held before games with Kansas State.
All-American Clyde Lovelette, Barney Poole, engineering sophomore, and Jerry Scott, college freshman will help with the medicine show.
Members of the University band, led by Bob Ausherman, education senior, will furnish music.
The 10 a.m. classes will be shortened five minutes for the rally.
Blood Committee To Seek Support
Plans to enlist the support of leaders in campus service organizations and organized houses were discussed at a meeting Wednesday of the ASC blood drive committee.
Leaders in organized houses will be caled upon to act as "promoters on the personal contact level." These house representatives must carry the burden of the "program salesmanship," he said. "The committee seeks workers who have evidenced interest in projects of this nature in the past."
A plan to have outside speakers visit the houses was endorsed. The committee will also ask the Inter-Fraternity pledge council to help in recruiting students not living in organized houses.
Marvin To Speak At Publication Dinner
Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information will speak Tuesday, March 18, at the publications dinner of William Chrisman High school in Independence, Mo.
Dean Marvin and Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, will speak at the annual convention of the MidWest Circulation Managers association at the Muhlbach hotel in Kansas City Sunday, March 16.
Contest Will Highlight Exposition
A speed contest between a Japanese abacus and a modern calculating machine will be featured by the mathematics department at the annual Engineering Exposition to be held Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5.
One more attempt will be made to decide whether modern design makes the big difference. In past trials, both the abacus and the electric computer have won, usually depending on the proficiency of the operator.
The mathematicians are offering a prize to the visiting high school
student who submits the best set of solutions to a set of problems.
A wall size model of a slide rule will be used to demonstrate the theory of logarithms and the construction of the slide rule.
Another new item in the exhibit is a machine which demonstrates the normal curve of probability and statistics. Visitors will be invited to operate the machine.
the Mobius strip; a series of typical problems in mathematics courses studied by engineering and college students, and blackboard drawings showing figures for some of the famous theorems of modern synthetic geometry.
Other features of the display include wood and plaster models of solids and surfaces which occur in the study of analytic geometry; a demonstration of the properties of
Results of problems involving the theory of prime numbers and Waring's theorem, and soap film models solving the puzzling problem of plateau are included in the exhibit.
The mathematics carnival will be set up in 116 Marvin hall. Jimmie McQueen, education senior, is in charge of the display.
The versatile New Englander first came into prominence as a member of the Artie Shaw orchestra. The Bluebird recording company put "Indian Love Call" on Mr. Shaw's schedule.
Mr. Pastor's style seemed to fit the mood so Mr. Shaw handed his sax player-vocalist the arrangement and while "Indian Love Call" was in its "hot" stage, record shops sold more than a million copies.
After this break Mr. Pastor was able to organize his own orchestra. Now as a top name maestro, he has won a great popular following. He has traveled more than a million miles on personal appearance tours.
The catch is that an unheralded arrangement of "Begin the Beguine" also featuring Tony Pastor was put on the other side, and it became the top popular seller of all-time.
Tickets for the dance will be on sale at the Information booth and in the Hawk's Nest until 4:30 p.m. today and from 8 a.m. until noon Friday.
Each ticket will count as a vote for the queen of the dance. The four candidates selected from pictures sent to Mr. Pastor are Nancy Anderson, journalism senior; Lorraine Mather, education junior; Sara Starry, college sophomore; and Margaret Hughes, college freshman. Donovan Hull, senior class president, will present the queen during the dance intermission.
The dance is a hose and heels affair and will be in Hoch auditorium. Helen Maduros, education senior, and John Kassebaum, college junior, are co-chairmen of the dance.
