X-Ray Device An Aid To Research Programs
H. W. Pickett of the General Electric Industrial x-ray section, Milwaukee, demonstrated the University's diffraction unit yesterday in Lindley hall.
Mr. Pickett conducted a check-up of the instrument and explained some of the finer points of its uses.
The x-ray diffraction unit, which can detect the atomic structure of various crystalline materials, has been used by the departments of mining and metallurgy, petroleum engineering, chemistry and geology, and the State Geological survey
Dr. J. O. Maloney, executive director of research foundation, explained that "X-ray diffraction is a process of showing by pattern the atomic structure of crystalline materials and is a method of mineral identification that will prove useful not only in basic scientific research but also in industrial research."
He also pointed out that Miss Ada Swineford, formerly associated with the Pennsylvania State college x-ray laboratories and now in charge of the petrographic laboratory of the State Geological survey,
Deferment Test Deadline April 24
James K. Hitt, registrar, urges male students who have not taken the test to take it now.
Students wishing to take the college qualification test April 24 must apply for entrance before March 10 Entrance forms are at the registrar's office or any draft board.
After July 1 the test scores will be used to give deferments to pre-medicine students. Mr. Hitt said that ROTC students should take the test in they leave the program.
The applicant must be a selective service registrant who intends to request occupational deferment as a student. He must be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course leading to a degree.
No student who has previously taken the test may repeat it.

--has demonstrated the usefulness of the x-ray diffraction techniques in the study of Kansas clays and other economic minerals.
The department of mining and metallurgy is now laying groundwork for studying x-ray diffraction the characteristics of metals and alloys, according to Kenneth Rose, chairman.
Dr. C. F. Weinaug, chairman of the petroleum engineering department, is currently conducting a study of oil well cores which involves the use of the x-ray unit.
Prof. Paul W. Gilles of the chemistry department is finding x-ray diffraction valuable in solving many problems involving both qualitative and quantitative analyses and in the study of crystalline organic compounds.
The department of geology plans to use the unit in teaching advanced mineralogy under the supervision of Dr. R. M. Dreyer, professor of geology.
The recording of x-ray patterns is done by means of a Geiger tube and a special recording device or photographs, Dr. Maloney said. In the photographic process a small quantity of the sample is placed at the center of a cylindrical camera holding the film, and x-rays are aimed at the sample through a special slit in front of the x-ray tube.
Youth Found Guilty Of Indecent Exposure
An 18-year-old janitor, employed by the University, was found guilty of indecent exposure in a private hearing in police magistrate court Monday.
He was given the choice of a 60-day sentence or a parole in the custody of Dr. Sigmund Gundler, health service psychiatrist. He chose the parole.
The janitor was arrested at 9 a.m. by the campus police, and taken to the Lawrence police station where he was charged with indecent exposure.
Quack Club To Give Ballet
NROTC Unit To Hear U.S. Navy Chaplain
Capt. Frank R. Hamilton of the U. S. Navy Chaplain Corps, will speak to midshipmen of the University's NROTC unit today.
A water ballet. "A Trip Around the World." will be presented at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday by the Quack club in the Robinson pool.
Captain Hamilton will speak to the midshipmen in three one-hour sessions, starting at 1 p.m. The purpose of Captain Hamilton's visit is to provide the NROTC midshipmen with indoctrination lectures on the place of the chaplain in the Navy.
The show is comparable to skating or dancing formations, performed in a less restrictive manner, June Porter, president of the club, said.
Tickets may be obtained for 75 cents at the women's physical education office in Robinson, from members of the club or at the door before the show.
Colorful costumes and unusual lighting effects are highlights of the ballet, she said.
"The ballet, portraying scenes from various countries, will include: "Skaters Waltz": "Pep'O Mey Heart"; "A Little Church in England"; In a Persian Market"; In Red Stairs in the Chinese Garden; In Dogs' Garden; In a Chinese Garden." "Blues" from "An American in Paris" and "Rhumba Rhymes."
The entire cast will present "Sentimental Journey" and "America the Beautiful" in floating formation.
Captain Hamilton's itinerary includes visits to all universities in the ninth naval district which have NROTC units.
Tatjana Plume Walker, graduate student from Riga, Latvia, will be a feature of both the Latvian and Austrian Olympic teams.
Guest divers will be Dallas Chestnut, education freshman; Archie Unruh and Robert Wellborn, education seniors, and Jerry Jester, education junior, a comic diver.
Win Koerper, college senior, and Kenneth Dam, college sophomore, received superior rankings in the University of Nebraska Invitational Debate and Speech tournament held Feb. 22 and 23 in Lincoln.
Debaters Win Superior Honors
Koerper received an over-all ranking of superior in debate, the highest rank obtainable for debaters. Dam received a award in the discussion event. The two also won a superior ranking as a team.
Other University students participating in the tournament were Heywood Davis and Stephen Rench, college seniors.
The two-day affair consisted of contests in debate, discussion, and extemporary speaking. KU speakers won three of its eight debates.
The four participants accompanied by Kim Giffin, assistant professor of speech, left Lawrence Thursday night following the Oratorical contest in which Koerper participated.
The problems presented by clay in connection with oil drilling were discussed by Ben B. Cox, director of the geological division of Gulf Research and Development company, Pittsburgh, Pa., before a student geology group at Lindley hall last Thursday;
Mr. Cox outlined the physical properties, structures and chemical composition of various clays as applied to petroleum geology. This included the problems and tools of the oil industry and research in the control of clay properties.
Expert Discusses Oil Drilling In Clay
While on the campus he visited the laboratories of the State Geological survey and the department of geology. He conferred with Miss Ada Swineford, chairman of the survey's petrographic laboratory, and Norman Plummer, in charge of the survey's ceramics division.
Mr. Cox said that "clay minerals and clay deposits compose about 80 per cent of sedimentary material of the earth.

News Roundup Five Killed,12 Injured In Wreck At Omaha Air Base
Omaha, Neb.—(U.P.) —Five men were killed and 12 were injured today when a Strategic Air Command B-50 bomber, carrying "classified" equipment, crashed and burned while landing at Offutt Air Force base on a flight from Honolulu.
The four-engined plane lost a wing as it came in for a landing about 20 yards from the end of the runway at 2:30 a.m.
Five hours after the crash, the Air Force announced that the flight from Hickam Field was a "regular and routine" mission. Earlier, it had indicated that the flight was "classified" but later noted that the ship, "like most SAC craft," carried "classified," or secret, equipment.
Six of the 17 men aboard may have been servicemen who "hitched" a ride from Honolulu to Omaha.
Combat Nears Halt On Korean Fronts
An Eighth Army communique said there was no significant contact with the enemy on the ground except, on the central front, where UN patrols fought light engagements with Red units up to two squads in strength.
Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea — (U.P.) The Korean war came to an almost complete halt both in the air and on the ground today.
Over 14 sorties were flown by Fifth Air Force planes because of the almost solid overcast over North Korea.
Lattimore Denies Pro-Red Leanings
Washington— (U.P) —Far Eastern expert Owen Lattimore today denied charges that the Institute of Pacific Relations .was Communist-dominates and that he had pro-Communist leanings.

Possible Red Stall Seen By Negotiators
Pamunjum, Korea—(U.P.)-T h e United Nations command said tonight that Communist truce negotiators may be stalling to delay a cease-fire until May day a Red holocaisefire until May day a traditional Red holiday, or to cover preparations for a spring offensive.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's headquarters broadcast the charge from Tokyo in a "voice of the UN Command" program as Red negotiators here rejected an Allied compromise offer designed to break the deadlock
over policing a truce.
Chinese Col. Pu Shan categorically refused to drop Russia from the proposed neutral truce supervision commission despite the UN offer to match the gesture by withdrawing Norway.
Ban On Coverage Arouses Protests
Rep. Paul W. Shafet (R-Mich.) called the order "one of the rarest examples of censorship" he'd ever seen.
Washington—(U.P.)—Congressmen and housewives joined the broadcasting industry today in protesting Speaker Sam Rayburn's ban on radio and television coverage of House committee sessions.
As it became apparent that the public will see and hear much less of congress in action, housewives began objecting to the ban on televised sessions of Congressional activities, which they regard as welcome breaks from daily dusting a diaper-changing.
There was no indication, however, that Rayburn will back down or that the House itself will modify the Texas Democrat's ruling.
McDonald Promises No Favors In RFC
