KuKu's Elect New Officers
Friday, February 8, 1952
Tom Foster, business senior, was elected secretary of the KuKu club at a meeting Thursday to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the former secretary.
Appointments to committee chairmanships were made. They are Bob Volyn, education junior, membership; Dean Cole, college senior, Froshawk advisor; Roy Zimmerman, college jungle, pledge trainer, and Bob Longstaff, journalism junior, public relations.
Cultural value, rather than aesthetic, is stressed in the University's new course, History of Oriental Art.
Tentative plans for a Big Seven pop club conclave to be held in Kansas City Feb. 29 and March 1, in conjunction with the Big Seven indoor track meet, were announced at the meeting.
Oriental Course Stresses Culture
The class, which meets from 2 to 4 p.m each Thursday in the Museum of Art, is conducted by Laurence Siekman, who is writing a book on Chinese art as well as being vice-director of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas City.
Beginning with a study of China's prehistoric art the course considers the Paleolithic, Neolithic and other historic periods of Chinese history. Within each period dynasties which influenced the art and culture of Chinese civilization are studied.
To aid in the understanding of names, a short study of names and their pronunciation is made. The course explains that Chinese names are reproduced in Western books by writing their sounds or a more dignified term is transliteration.
Following the study of China, the course considers the art and culture of India and other sections of the Orient.
In addition to lectures, the approximately 35 persons enrolled in the course will take field trips to the Nelson gallery.
The course is designed as a survey course to acquaint students with the general culture and art of the Orient.

West Coast Commie Trial Produces Ex-Red Witness
Los Angeles, Calif.—(U.P.)—Merchant seaman David Saunders, testifying at the conspiracy trial of 15 California Communists, today gave the second chapter in the story of his rise from waterfront striker to a "Communist functionary."
The balding, 41-year-old master mariner from San Francisco was the government's first witness against the "second string" Communists. They are all charged with plotting to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government.
Saunders described one of the defendants, Mrs. Oleta O'Connor Yates, as a "full time, what we call a professional revolutionist."
"Did the party publish any newspapers?" he was asked.
"They took the hammer and sickle off the Western Worker and called it the People's World, if that's what you mean," the seaman replied.
In all, Saunders identified 11 of the 15 defendants as having participated actively in Communist party work on the West coast.
Grain Inquiry Now
Faure Wins Vote
Washington—(U.P.) —The Senate agriculture committee will "let the blame fall where it may" in its investigation of shortages of government-owned grain, acting chairman Clive D. Hoey said today.

Paris—(U.P.)-Premier Edgar Faure won his first vote of confidence today from the French National assembly. It upheld his austerity program to cure France's many economic ills, 292 to 275.
The 43-year-old radical Socialist's program is the most drastic proposed in France since wartime restrictions were eased in 1948.
Washington—(U.P.) - F or m e r Georgia Governor Ellis Arnall, in taking over from Michael V. Di-Salle as price stabilizer, moves into one of the hottest seats on the nation's mobilization team.
Arnall Faces Task
Arnall will take over in the face of two bitter wrangles; the steel industry's wage-price dispute with the CIO united steelworkers and congressional demands to decontrol some prices.
DiSalle and Arnall are as alike as two plum peas in a pod. They're both short, chubby 44-year-old attorneys turned politician. They like to puff big, black cigars and are
Woman's First Duty Is In The Home Civic Leader Says At Workshop
"Life has outlined woman's place from the beginning of time." Miss Carmie Wolf, leader in women's civic clubs in Topeka, told 200 girls attending the Associated Women Students Leadership Workshop last night in Strong auditorium.
Miss Wolf, speaking on "The Place of the Woman in the Community," said not to think of time in "the narrow margin of the present but in the light of the march of centuries."
She quoted examples from the Book of Proverbs and John Ruskin's "Sesame and Lilies" to show that down through the ages woman's first duty has been to make a home for her husband and her second, to help those who need help.
Primitive man found the Light, God, and learned to use gentleness and kindness instead of force, she said. "Today our ideals are in direct conflict with those of Communism, but we are still working toward the kind of world God desires," she added.
Women serve as an inspiration to
Miss Wolf advised the girls to work, travel or do as they wish after college, but not to put off "the devoted young man too long."
Miss Wolf, former head of the Topeka high school English department, said it is a "good idea to plan for a career," adding that while it is "nicest to establish your own home, you don't know where love will take you."
College women must go out and help the community and the church because no one else is as well prepared for leadership, Miss Wolf said. "Leadership belongs in the heart of woman, and as she rises, men rise with her."

Tribute To King
London — (U.P.) — British Prime Minister Winston Churchill hailed the late King George VI Thursday night as a man beloved by his people, a prince, ruler, servant and a "model and guide to constitutional sovereigns throughout the world."
Miss Becq recounted the first five days of the Florida trip, from Lawrence to New Orleans, to St. Augustine. Miss Goumbrot then accounted for a tour of Palm Beach, Miami, Key West and St. Petersburg. Miss Drouart explained events occurring on the trip home via Tampa, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville, St. Louis and Kansas City.
In one of his most moving speeches, Britain's old warrior paid tribute to the King, "who walked with death as if death were a companion, an acquaintance whom he recognized and did not fear."
Courses Planned For Map-Makers
The geography department is making plans to institute a series of courses to train cartographers in different phases of map-making.
Bourez told about his trip north with emphasis on his visits in the French-Canadian cities of Montreal and Quebec.
The teaching of cartography, until recently, has been devoted largely to geography. The department hopes soon to be able to train students in the map-making of other fields.
Cartography offers excellent job opportunities with the Army, weather bureau, and many other government agencies.
George F. Jenks, assistant professor of geography, has returned temporarily to the University after having studied cartography in Washington, D.C.
Professor Jenks, who is on a Ford fellowship, is on leave from KU and is becoming familiar with new devices for making maps.
The University is one of the first in the country to formulate plans for a broader cartography training program.
Campus Police Warn Speeders
"Anyone caught driving faster than 20 miles an hour in the housing areas south of the campus will be taken to Police court and charged with speeding," Joseph Skillman, campus police chief, said today.
"Extreme caution is necessary in these areas because of the number of small children playing in the streets," he added. Sunflower road and Sunnyside avenue are two of the streets which will be patrolled regularly, both day and night.
The campus traffic department asks the cooperation of the student body and faculty in keeping these regulations.
Chief Skillman reminded students also that the speed limit all over the campus is 20 miles an hour, or less if it is too dangerous for that speed.
Sasnak Picks New Officers
Vinita Bradshaw, education junior, was elected president of Sasnak, physical education organization, Thursday evening.
Other officers elected were Wesley Santee, education sophomore, vicepresident; Betty Clinger, education junior, secretary, and Kenneth Reid, education junior, treasurer.
Miss Alice Roberts, special assistant in the physical education department of elementary schools in Kansas City, Mo., talked to the group about teaching for one year in an American school in Germany.
Miss Roberts told of her experiences as a physical education teacher in Wiesbaden and showed slides of places she had toured during her visit.
The course of study is very similar to that of American schools, Miss Roberts said, but students are taught many things by going to see them. She described one of the tours the school children took through Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland.
Student Writes Script For 'Flying Carpet' Show
A student-written script will be used on KFKU's popular dramatic show for children, "The Flying Carpet," Monday, Feb. 11.
Jerry Knudson, college sophomore, did the adaptation of Dovrak's opera, "The Devil and Kate," for the show. It will be produced and directed by Mrs. Ruby LeNeva Motta.
Run-Away Vehicle Halted In Flight
Dr. B. T. Eberle, assistant instructor in physiology, averted what might have been "a very serious wreck," Campus Police Chief Joseph G. Skillman said Wednesday.
Dr. Eberle saw a car, parked in front of the Nurses' quarters on Mississippi street, start rolling with no one at the wheel. He ran out and managed to stop the car, blocking the wheels with rocks, before it had done any damage.
There was another instance of the same kind of freak accident this week when a car parked in the area west of the Military Science annex "slipped its moorings" and rolled downhill into a tree. Police Chief Skillman said that cars parked in that area have rolled away from their parking places before, and he cautioned all drivers parking on or near the campus, to set their brakes before leaving their cars.
The United States has developed less than 10 per cent of its potential waterpower resources.
