Murphy To Address California Alumni
The alumni association of that area has made plans for a KU scholarship fund. Under the plan, each member of the association is asked to make a donation of at least $1.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak at a dinner meeting of the California KU Alumni association on Monday, Dec. 3, in Los Angeles.
A special committee will select a student from the area who has never attended KU, but wished to. The students will be picked on the basis of scholastic standing, school activities, and financial need.
The University Endowment association will administer the fund. At least $280 will be needed for the scholarship fund—the amount of the out-of-state tuition for a year at KU. If a lesser amount is donated the Endowment association will be asked to use the fund.
Providence, R. I.-(U.R.)-Andrew B. Blackinton, 70 who has a perfect safety record in 48 years of driving, gives this advice to fellow motorists: "Always expect the unexpected."

"The Importance of Being Eareest," second major production of the speech and drama department will be presented at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, through Friday, Dec. 8, in Fraser theater.
"The Importance of Being Earnest" is a story concerning the laviish social life among the elite of the Victorian period, according to Mrs. Feist.
The cast of nine is now "deep in rehearsals" according to Mrs. Frances Feist, instructor in speech and director.
New sets for the play are being constructed by Harold Harvey, instructor in speech, and a new set of period costumes are to be imported. Mrs. Feist said.
Two Students Get Awards From Mexico
Hope Constance Nansen, graduate student, and James E. Irby, College senior, have been awarded full scholarships to study in Mexico by the Mexican government for the academic year beginning February, 1952
Navy Offers Commissions To Graduates
Both will do graduate work in the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the National University of Mexico, Mexico City.
Only 19 such scholarships were given in the U.S. The selection of the Spanish students was made by the Mexico-United States commission on cultural relations.
Naval commissions are available to graduate and senior college men and women who have received or will receive a college degree within four months.
The Office of Naval Officer Procurement, Kansas City, Mo., will have an information team at the University Monday, Dec. 3, for the purpose of interviewing interested students and to issue application forms to those considered qualified.
General qualifications required for commissions in both the regular Navy and the Naval Reserve are: the applicant must be a citizen of the United States, in good physical condition, and not have received an induction notice from the selective service. These are in addition to the college degree requirement.
For women interested in the WAVES, the requirements are: they must be under 25 years of age, unmarried, a graduate of an accredited four year college, and able to meet physical requirements.
Applicants selected for the WAVE program are commissioned ensigns in the Navy and given a four month indoctrination course before being assigned to active duty.
Interested students should see the procurement team in the Military Science building between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 3. The team will not return to the University during the rest of the semester.
Semper Wins NCAA Title
East Lansing, Mich—(I.L.P.)—Herb Semper of Kansas won the NCAA cross-country title for the second straight year here today. His time of 20:09.5 set a new course record.
Kansas as a team finished second behind Syracuse. Other Kansas runners finished in this order: Norm Bitner, 16th; Art Dalzell, 24th; Wes Santee, 36th; Dick Wilson, 59th.
To Show Film On Cancer Tuesday
Semper finished 30 yards ahead of his nearest rival. Alf Holmberg of Tennessee, after taking the lead at the three-mile mark. His winning time last year was 20.31.7. The four-mile race was held on an ice-coated course in 28-degree temperature.
A sound film on the struggle of science against cancer will be shown 4 p.m. Tuesday in 15 Fraser hall and 7:30 p.m. in 426 Lindley. The movie, "Challenge Against Cancer," will be sponsored by the anatomy department and is open to the public.
3 Lawyers To Attend Tournament
Earl Shurtz, Eugene Mitchell and Orval Kaufman, senior law students, will defend the University's national runner-up honors in a moot court competition sponsored by Association of the Bar of the City of New York.
The three students will compete first in the regional tournament Thursday and Friday at St. Louis. The winner in the St. Louis regional, one of eleven such tournaments, will compete in the national finals on Thursday, Dec. 13, and Friday, Dec. 14, in New York.
The case to be argued involves the right of a witness before a congressional committee to refuse to testify when his refusal is based on the televising of the proceedings and other objections to the manner in which the investigation is being conducted.

Queen Shouldn't Be'Cultured Babe'
Rv DON SARTEN
Got on my pink underwear and I'm planning a revolt.
Homecoming is upcoming and pressure will be exerted on some poor guys to vote for such and such as queen of the Hill.
Which is fine. Only don't try to pass some cultured babe with a capacity for leadership off on me as a "queen."
Many of us crude characters who are here to shape our futures in society can't help looking at pictures of queens from other schools and thinking to ourselves, "that's the best they can do?"
Then you look at the rules for playing the game and you understand.
of other males are looking for in our women is leadership traits. It's for certain that I'm looking for the type that follows. . .
On the other hand they might read. "That's the best you can do?" So I'll weakly explain how talented she is, with a wonderful personality, and explain that she is president of an important tea club.
The last thing they're going to check for is her leadership record. And her personality won't make any difference—newspaper pictures being kinda impersonal. But her face and figure is going to make or break me.
You know the answer.
Because many of them know I'm here. And letters will pour in saving, "Hey luck, how do I enroll?" Dr, "Hey, are there any more like see around?"
"Candidates for homecoming queen at KU will be based on appearance, personality, and leadership records." And in other places you can throw in a talent requirement.
Now that first item is fine. A queen should be attractive. But what do I care about her personality? To me she's only a face—and maybe a figure.
Supposing one of those pictures hits my hometown. Not many of my friends aren't educated in any universities. But there is nothing wrong with their taste in women.
Since nobody's gonna pay any attention to me anyway, here are a few rules I invented for gals desiring to run in my queen contest. First thing I'm going to do you know—soon as they let me out of here, is run a contest of my own.
The last thing me and thousands
Shucks, chances are I'll never meet her anyway. But her face is going to be plastered in newspapers all over.
I'll make them short because it is hard to type in this straight-
kind-except lipstick, and it would jacket. . .
Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin, will give a violin recital in Strong auditorium at 8 tonight.
He will be assisted by Mrs. Winifred Gallup, pianist.
1. No powder or makeup of any be used sparingly. Let the freckles advertise her healthiness and a shine on her nose show cleanliness.
Mr. Geltch was at one time supervisor of all violin teaching in the New York City public school system. As a concert artist he has played over 1300 concerts in 45 states.
Geltch To Give Violin Recital At 8 Tonight
4. Curves that promise . .
3. She'd have a smile that would reveal a crooked tooth or two, but so wide that the crinkles at the edge of her eyes would shout sincerely.
2. Her hair would be brushed to a shine that would match the one on her nose. And she would give you the feeling—just looking at her picture, that she always looked nice.
The program will include:
5. A "Miss" displayed prominently in front of her name
6. Her ambition would have to be "housewife."
"Sonata in A" for violin and piano (Pizzetti), Concerto No. 2 for violin in D minor (Bruch), Nocure in E minor (Chopin-Auer), "Sea-Shell" (Engel-Zimbalist) and "Tango" (Fernandez-Arzos).
7. Madly in love with me.
Two other fine arts attractions will be presented in Strong hall this week. Maurice Eisenberg, cellist, will appear Tuesday and Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano, will give a faculty recital Wednesday.
Murphy Cites College Aims
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, in a radio talk over KLWN Sunday, declared that the main objective of general education is to train young men and women for the needs of modern life.
"Our challenge is to train people for leadership for today," he said as the sixth speaker in the "Sociology on the Air" series.
The problems of 1951 are the problems we must solve, Dr. Murphy added. Two issues we face today are (1) that the world is much smaller today; and we are not isolated by two oceans; and (2) that we do not have the social and economic know-how to master the technical knowledge we have accumulated, he said.
Dr. Murphy's talk consisted of answers to a series of questions asked by Prof. Carroll D. Clark, chairman of the department of sociology and anthropology, which is sponsoring the talks.
Pointing out that universities are dealing now with young people born during the depression era and that within ten years colleges will be receiving young people born during World War II, Dr. Murphy added that a university has the obligation of maintaining both its research functions and scholarship functions at high level without compromising the two.
"One of our main problems is this: When we graduate a doctor or an engineer, we have to graduate more than a technical man. We have got to turn out men who have acquired an understanding of the realities of 1951." Dr. Murphy said.
