KU 'Foreign' Student Is Native American
By YUJIRO MAEDA
Suppose you had left the United States in your early teens for the country where your ancestors originated, and passed your youthful days over there. Which of the two countries would you find your real home?
Tesugio Endo, 27, came to this country from Japan this summer to study in the Graduate school of KU under the Army-sponsored exchange program. Unlike most of the foreign students at the University, he is having what may be called a "homecoming" visit.
Born in the town of Warmspring, Nev., in 1024, Endo lost his American citizenship at the age of 12 when his parents took him back to Japan to give him Japanese school education. A fifth-grade pupil of an elementary school at Ruth, Nev., at that time, he was not conscious at all of his racial origin. He did not even understand the Japanese language well.
Boarding a vessel for Japan at San Francisco, he felt lonely when he found himself among a group of California-born Japanese who were conversing with one another in Japanese. This feeling of loneliness continued to oppress him even after he finished his elementary school education and entered a secondary school in Japan.
Japanese manners and customs and their ways of thinking, however, gradually penetrated his mind. He was kept too busy accommodating himself to his new environment to recall memories of life in his native town. In his efforts to get rid of his strangeness, he buckled down to the study of Japan and things Japanese until he was graduated from a college in Yokohama.
When he decided to come to America last year, he looked forward to revisiting the country which was once his home.
Before coming to Lawrence, he visited with a relative in Layton, Utah, where he used to spend a lot of his time when he was an American. He found the area, which had been a quiet agricultural community in his memory, a thriving town with the streets lined with a number of dwelling houses. Horses which his
Nine companies were represented at the meeting of the Industrial Management institute sponsored by the University Extension Friday and Saturday.
Nine Companies At Institute
John M. MacKenzie, associate professor of industrial engineering at the University of Minnesota, old the group Friday evening that job simplification increases the individual worker's production and reduced expense in manufacturing processes.
Dean Frank T. Stockton of University Extension acted as discussion leader after the talk.
Saturday morning Dr. Russell L. Moberly, director of the Industrial Management institute at the University of Wisconsin, said better cooperation between workers and supervisors can be obtained by familiarizing the worker with the why of each order.
He said production increased as worker-supervisor cooperation improved.
The group was shown a movie "Beyond the Towers" and the meeting closed with a luncheon. Most of the participants attended the homecoming game.
Two KU Students Awarded Grants
Miss Hope Nansen, former University student, and James Irby. College senior, have been awarded grants by the Mexican government for study in a Mexican university for the academic year beginning February, 1952.
These fellowships are two of 19 given to Americans through the Institute of International Education, New York.
They were established under the Mexican-United States commission on cultural co-operation, and are designed to promote good relations between the U.S. and Mexico.
relative had used to plough his farm were all gone. Despite a hearty welcome by the relative, he felt as if he had never been there before.
It seemed that the traces of his 12-year life in America no longer remained with him, although he maintains there is not much difference in the fundamental character of the people of the two countries.
"When I finish my study here, I would like to go back to Japan," Endo said, "That will be my real homecoming trip."
Two former KU music students, now of Kansas City, Mo., will be soloists in a recital at 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10, sponsored by Mu Phi Epsilon, professional music sorority.
Ex-Students In Recitals
The recital will be held in Strong auditorium with no admission charge.
One of the soloists, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkinson Vaughan, soprano, was graduated from KU in 1930. She also did graduate work here and Kansas City.
Mrs. Vaughan has appeared as a concert and radio soloist throughout this area. She has soled with the C.B.S. Messiah presentation.
Mrs. Joanne Johnson Baker, pianist, instructor of piano at the University of Kansas City, was a student of Carl Preyer at KU from 1940 to 1942. Her undergraduate work was continued at the University of Michigan where she received her bachelor of music degree.
University graduates interested in doing predoctoral work in biological, physical, and engineering sciences may apply for a fellowship from the National Science foundation.
While completing the requirements for a master of music degree in piano, Mrs. Baker was a member of the Michigan university piano faculty.
Science Fellowship Applications Open
Any citizen of the United States who has demonstrated ability and aptitude for advanced training in the sciences and who will be able to begin or continue graduate work in the 1952-53 academic year is eligible.
Graduates who are accepted will receive from $1,400 to $1,700 in addition to family allowances, tuition, and fees. The fellowship is for one year.
Applications may be obtained at the chemical engineering office, 127 Lindley, and must be turned in to the National Research council by Monday, January 7.
A policeman was getting ready to tag Hannabauer's car when he noticed that the license number corresponded with a traffic ticket that had been issued before. He also noticed a red tag inserted under the windshield winer.
Wheeling, W. Va—(U.P.)—Wheeling police are willing to forgive a parking ticket or two if the offender is from out of the city but they believe Robert R. Hannabauer of Charleston, W. Va., abused the courtesy.
68 Parking Tickets Ruin Any Excuse
The officer called for a tow-truck to haul the vehicle to a garage and climbed into the driver's seat. In doing so, he tipped the windshield visor downward and was showered with 68 red tickets.
Professor To Attend Language Meeting
Philip M. Mitchell, assistant professor of German and Mrs. Dorothy Van Ghent, former KU assistant professor of English, will participate in the 66th annual of the Modern Language association of America to be held in Detroit Dec. 27-29.
In addition to being acting secretary of the "Scandinavian Language and Literature group," he will read a paper entitled "Holberg Today."

There's A Story Behind The Title, 'Tex Beneke And His Orchestra'
When Tex Beneke takes the bandstand in the Military Science building Friday night for the 1951 Military ball, students will dance to the music of Tex Beneke and his orchestra.
There's quite a story behind that official title: "Tex Beneke and his Orchestra"
It began on February 14, 1914, in Ft. Worth, Texas. Gordon Lee Bencke was born.
His music career is nearly as old as he is. At nine, Beneke was given a soprano saxophone by his parents. He began to take lessons immediately. At 13 he played with school ROT* and dance bands. He later formed a trio with Beno Hogan on the drums, before Hogan gained national fame as a professional golfer. Summers, he toured with his small band.
Beneki's first important job was with Ben Young at the Texas Centennial in 1936. Early in 1938 he joined Glenn Miller's band.
He entered rehearsal with a "Hi ya fellas. I'm glad to be heath." From then on Gordon Beneke was "Tex" Beneke.
Beneke is known for his sax work and vocals. He has sold millions of copies of such hits as "Kalamazoo," "Chattanoga Choo Choo," and "Body and Soul." He was featured in two movies and has made numerous shorts with Miller and his band.
When Miller was listed as "missing in action" in 1944 Beneke took over leadership of the band and it was "Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra."
As the years passed and Miller was declared officially dead in 1945 the band became known as "Tex Benchek and His Orchestra."
The debate question at the University of Toronto is to be: "Resolved: that academic work is over-emphasized on this campus."
WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT
ABOUT ENGLEWOOD, N. J.?
In Englewood, the local telephone exchange looks pretty much like the telephone building in any other town.
And Englewood's telephones seem just the same as the twenty-seven million other dial telephones in the country.
But there's a difference . . .
You can pick up a telephone in Englewood and dial San Francisco telephone numbers direct!
In fact, you can dial any one of eleven million telephone numbers in thirteen widely scattered areas from coast to coast.
That's what makes Englewood different - the new kind of Long Distance telephone service on trial there by the Bell System. Long Distance dialing is another example of the Bell System's constant search for ways to provide you with ever-better telephone service.
