2 Students Get Scholarships
Two graduate students have been given work scholarships in Kansas City by the veterans' administration since the psychiatric social work training program was accredited ten days ago, Miss Esther Twente, professor of social work, announced today.
"There is a much greater demand than supply for psychiatric social workers in the nation today," Miss Twente said. "In fact, there is a greater demand than supply for all social workers."
There are now eight students enrolled in the psychiatric social work program, but Miss Twente expects an increase in the enrollment since the program is accredited.
In the spring semester, the first year graduate in social work takes a six-month field placement in a social work agency in Kansas City, Topeka, or Wichita. The second year is spent at the University School of Medicine at Kansas City.
The newly accredited psychiatric program is one of 27 such programs in the United States. The United States Public Health service has made funds available in developing this new program at the University.

KU Republicans Elect Officers
Cliff Ratner, college senior, has been elected chairman of the Young Republicans.
New cabinet officers selected are Roy Bennett, first year law student, vice-president; Dorothy Lee Wandling, college sophomore, secretary, and Glenn Opie, first year law student, treasurer.
He said that one of the reasons for originally using Washington was to get away from mobs of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Balti-
A former graduate of the University has a unique hobby. He wants to shift the site of the nation's capital from Washington to Smith Center.
Henry Castle, '14, he enlisted the aid of Wint Smith, '20, (R.-Ks.), who represents the country's geographic center in Washington. He has given Smith maps and data which support his theory that the time he would for a change due to eastward march of the population center.
Mr. Smith, Republican congressman from Kansas, believes that by moving the capital it would be free of pressure groups and business controls of New York and other Eastern influences.
Washington now is approximately 1,200 miles east of the geographic center, and more than 600 miles east of the population center. In other words, it has located in Washington it was only 60 miles east of the population center.
Fry Springs To Foreground As Top English Dramatic Poet
The play was first released for amateur production last month, and he University of Kansas is one of the first to give it.
Christopher Fry, author of "The Lady's Not For Burning," has in a few years sprung into the position of a foremost dramatic poet in the English language.
But nobody saw Mr. Fry. Star John Gielgud came out and said, "Christopher Fry, the author, is too shy, spy, and fly to appear, but asks me to thank you for him."
Mr. Fry writes beautifully, rolling out speeches packed with imagery. He tacks humor onto the end of some of the longest and most flowery speeches. He is romantic and humorous by turns.
Mr. Fry's first recognition as a serious playwright came in 1946 with "A Phoenix Too Frequent," which he directed and starred in the theater productions this semester.
"The Lady's Not For Burning" which begins in Fraser theater Wednesday, Feb. 27, has been termed by New York critics as Mr. Fry's best play to date.
It is a whimsical fable about a cynical ex-soldier who reluctantly falls in love with an enchanting young woman sentenced to be burned as a witch.
The influence of the Elizabethan theater is evident in "The Lady's Not For Burning," from its blank verse to its varied sets of lovers and a loquacious clown. The cadenced lines of the play are full of metaphors and epigrams.
The opening of "The Lady's Not For Burning" in London was a grand success, and the fall of the final curtain was followed by cries of "Author! Author!"
Because he is one of the shvest men in London, Mr. Fry is an almost anonymous celebrity. Now in his early forties, he has devoted half his life to the theater. At various times, he has been a cartoonist, a schoolmaster, a private in the Army, and a composer.
One drawback Smith sees in Castle's plan is the lack of hotels, transportation and other utilities in Smith Center. But Castle believes that by starting from the ground an "American type" capital could be created.
more.
Smith said that Congress has the power to move the capital, but added that the plan does not seem plausible in the near future since the Eastern population centers have enough members of Congress to block it. He does, however, see the time when they would lose that advantage.
Postal Head Dies Of Heart Attack
Raymond C. Abraham, superintendent of the University Postal station, died today of a heart attack.
He was 69 years old and lived at 607 Stratford road.
Born Dec. 7, 1883, Mr. Abraham was graduated from the University in 1911. He began working in the postal service in 1914 and had been superintendent of the University station since 1922.

Professor To Attend 'Tourist Meeting'
Dr. John C. Frye, executive director of the State Geological survey at the University, will attend an off-road "tourist meeting" in Topeka today.
Dr. Fryre is one of five state officials appointed by Governor Edward F. Arn to serve on a recently created "governor's special commission on scenic, historic, and recreational points of interest."
Charles D. Stough, state representative from Douglas county, who spoke at a recent meeting, said "Tm for Eisenhower, but I'll support any candidate the Republican party runs for president."
The commission will meet jointly with the tourism promotion council of the Stats Commission.
Dr. Frye is associate professor of geology.
"You young people have one thing in common with me," Representative Stough contended, "We have never been able to vote for a Republican who won the presidency."
Calling Kansas a battleground for this year's election, Mr. Stough reminded his listeners that Kansas has both a favorite son in General Eisenhower, and a lot of supporters for Senator Taft.
"It would look bad if Eisenhower were to come home for the election and find Kansas in a divided condition," he said.
Mr. Stoug added that in the past few years emphasis everywhere has been away from politics and government. "As long as people keep an interest in politics, there will continue to be corruption in government," he said.
The Republicans, he continued,
have approximately a 12 million
vote handicap to overcome, which
was built up in the last 20 years.
"In order to do this, it behooves the
Republicans to get out the independent vote next time," he said.
