Tides Measured In 'Dry' Kansas For First Time
KU Enjoys Taste Of Show Business In 'Rodgers And Hammerstein Nights'
The earth's tides for the first time being measured in Kansas this week in Lindley hall.
Two geo-physicists from the University of California at Los Angeles arrived at the University Wednesday and have equipment set up in the University seismological laboratory.
According to Robert Dreyer, professor of geology, the two are the only men in the country known to be doing this work. Measurement began Wednesday and will last two or three days.
The instrument used by the scientists in measuring the land tides is known as a gravity meter. It is set up in the seismological laboratory, so that it will be completely free of shock; said Professor Dreyer.
The instrument is self-recording and punches the results on IBM cards. It causes a machine gun-like chatter when tides are recorded.
"As everyone knows, the moon and other heavenly bodies exert a pull on the oceans and on land areas causing tides," Professor Dreyer said.
"Of course the land tides are on much smaller scale than those on the sea, and it is these tides which are being measured," Dreyer said.
"The purpose of the recordings is to study the character of the tides going through the earth's surface, the results of which will be published and used in compiling theoretical and technological information."
The measurement here is but one step in the plans of the geo-physicists who will cover all parts of the United States in their work.
The public is free to view the machine in operation through the observatory window of the laboratory in Lindley hall.
Murphy Receives Honorary Degree
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy received the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters Wednesday from Kansas Wesleyan university, Salina.
The degree was awarded at a special founder's day convocation. The school is celebrating its 66th year of operation.
The two-day program also included speeches by three leaders in religion, industry and education. They were the Rev. Harold C. Case, president of Boston university; David A. Wallace, president of the Chrysler division of Chrysler corporation, and William W. Hall, president of Westminster college, Fulton, Mo.
Design Students Plan Reception
Freshman students in the department of design will be hosts to the parents of all new students in the department at a reception Dec. 2.
The reception will be from 2 to 4 p.m.
There will be an exhibition of student work and demonstrations will be given of the art techniques design students study. These include ceramics, sculpture, weaving, jewelry and silversmithing.
About 2,000 persons got a taste of show business Wednesday evening and they liked it.
Hoch auditorium was the scene of the colorful production, "Rodgers and Hammerstein Nights," in which four young artists scored hits singing light and lovable lyrics from six popular musicals.

The program featured the freshness and youthfulness of the aspiring vocalists, with evidence of masterful directing by Crane Calder.
The rich, exciting voice of Carol Jones, mezzo-soprano, repeatedly drew additional curtain calls and marked her as one of the most promising performers of the group.
Baritone Andrew Gainey won the audience with his rendition of "Surrey With the Fringe on Top." The show was momentarily halted while he returned four times for bows.
Mr. Gainey sang the incidental solo in the program finale, "Oklahoma." He sang three arrangements with Carol Jones and the 15-voice chorus, each of which was well-received by the listeners.
Miss Jones was drowned out by the chorus in "It's a Grand Night for Singing," and at times it seemed that her voice did not blend well with Mr. Gainey's. However, in the songs, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "I Have Dreamed," an encore number, the two vocalists were successes with their warm, moving harmonies.
In that number, as well as in "Soillouquy," he revealed outstanding tone quality and expression in pianissimo and forte.
Leigh Allen, soprano, gave the only indications of the strenuous schedule the group follows on its extensive tour. Her voice practically gave out on "A Wonderful Guy." Instead of attempting too much volume on the high notes, she eased up and later on in the program her voice rallied miraculously in a thrilling duet with Earl William, tenor.
Miss Allen earlier was loudly applued for her appealing solo "Hello. Young Lovers."
Mr. William's winning personality made him an immediate hit. His voice, carried perfectly the message of the hit tune, "Younger Than Springtime," after which he returned for several curtain calls.
Perhaps the most enjoyable number of the evening was an encore duet by Miss Allen and Mr. Williams, "We Kiss in the Shadows," from the show, "The King and I."
An 81 year-old tradition was broken at the engineering banquet in honor of graduating seniors when Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering presented Paul Endacott, president of Phillips Petroleum and KU alumnus, the honorary engineering council key for outstanding service to the profession.
Prior to the banquet Tuesday night in the Kansas room of the Union building only students and faculty members had been eligible for this award.

"The law of supply and demand will solve the future shortage of engineers," Mr. Endacott told the students and faculty. He said the industry must make better use of the present supply of engineers.
Mr. Endacott cautioned graduates against aversions to starting at the bottom and being too conscious of beginning salary.
E*L. Jordan, instructor in electrical engineering, was named the most outstanding engineering faculty member of the year.
The chorus had a very good balance for such a small group, although in one of the presentations, "You'll Never Walk Alone," the women were noticeably weak.
The solo by Miss Jones was packed with feeling and beauty, however, and the number went over big with the audience. Her appearance was marked by dignity and grace.
A novelty number by the male members of the chorus, "There Is Nothin' Like a Dame," proved to be a mild sensation.
Certainly the James A. Davidson production of "Rodgers and Hammerstein Nights" was one of the musical highlights of the year at the University. The words and music, beautifully written, were beautifully sung.

Work, Fun And Entertainment Are A Part Of The Home Management House Plan
By HELEN FRY
If you should see several women pushing each other up the hill south of Blake hall, they are probably residents of the home management house carrying home their groceries.
Five or six women live in the house for a period of five or six weeks. They make it a combination of fun and work in managing the household.
During their stay, each group entertains with a big dinner, a buffet supper, and a tea. In addition they give numerous smaller social affairs such as taffy pulls, dinner parties, home economics club meetings, or entertain house mothers or boy friends.
Home economics majors and a few students in the School of Education live there before they are graduated. They do all the cooking, laundry, house work and management, have a lot of fun at it and even find time to study.
Women living in the home pay $45 for living expenses. The University finances the lighting, heat and major operating bills.
opening the room.
All work and no play makes Jane a dull girl, so some evenings after the guests have gone, the group sometimes gathers in the living room, kick off their shoes, and listen to
records. The dirty dishes come later!
One of the purposes of the home is to acquaint the women with the newest household equipment. They can have a better chance to decide what they will have in their own home. The house has all modern appliances.
Each group chooses a particular improvement for the house. Some of the women have done painting or re-upholstery work. The group living there now is making a new bedboard and bedspread to brighten one of the rooms.
Miss Muriel Johnson, instructor in home economics, is adviser for the group. She said it is interesting to see how the different groups act. For instance, the present group especially likes to make rolls.
The bungalow style house, built in 1928, has a dining room, living room, kitchen, utility room, three bathrooms, four bedrooms and a small study.
The women keep within a financial budget. For groceries they spend 90 cents a day per person and maintain a good diet. They also like to keep the grocery supply as low as possible because carrying groceries up the hill is not their idea of pleasure.
The delegates will be dressed in the costume of the country they represent.
One of the projects being done at the house is a new patio. Cement is being run for a platform in the backyard. The women hope to have outdoor furniture by spring in order to have picnics and other outdoor parties.
Each woman has a particular shift of work for three days. One does the cooking while another takes care of cleaning. They alternate jobs for the experience, and to break the monotony.
All of the women said they will hate to leave because of the friends they have made and of the fun they have had. Most all of the women who have ever lived at the home come back for many visits.
Five women are living in the house now. They are Rita Roney, Virginia Lightfoot and Isabel Moya, College seniors; Claribel Markeson, College junior, and Olive Holliday, special student.
About 250 Kansas high school students are expected to attend the program, which will begin at 9:30 a.m. A summary assembly will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. and will provide an opportunity for questions.
The participating countries and delegates are Great Britain, John Davidson, graduate student, and Hugh McKenzie, 'special student'; Iran, Cyrus Samil and Nasrallah Vaqar, graduate students; France, Jean Choplin, graduate student.
Dr. Amiya Chakravarty, former adviser to the UN delegation from India, and Dr. Herman Chubb, professor of political science, will speak at the opening meeting.
Thirteen countries will be represented. Six countries will participate in the assembly with a discussion on the oil problem in Iran.
Egypt, Virginie Baroudjian, graduate student; India, V. Rama Krishmore; and the United States, Duane Postlethwaite and Rita Swearingen, graduate students.
The eight non-participating countries and delegates in attendance are Holland, Erwin David, eduction senior; the Philippines, Justo B. Bravo, and Clodaldo Leocadio, graduate students; Norway, Aud Soiland, special student in fine arts, Else Ek and Thomas Monsen, graduate students.
Sweden, Kerstin Hansen, special student, and Einor V. Kullstedt, graduate student; El Salvador, V. Govidia-Hidalgo, graduate student; Lebanon, Karim Nasser, graduate student; Canada, Morris J. Paulson, graduate student; and Greece, Lina Syrow, special student in fine arts.
All R. Orc, graduate student, will be president of the assembly and Henry Pinault, graduate student, will be the secretary-general.
