Movie Stars In Lawrence On 'Movie Time USA' Tour
By JEANNE FITZGERALD
Three motion picture stars and several other Hollywood personalities stopped in Lawrence Monday on a state-wide "Movie Time U.S.A." tour commemorating the 50th anniversary of motion pictures.
Mrs. Edith Heller, Miss Ryan's mother, was head of the art department at Topeka High school for several years.
When asked if she had ever attended college, Miss Ryan said. "No. But I have heard that the University of Kansas is one of the finest universities in the country."
The stars were Sheila Ryan, native Topekin, Scott Brady, star of "Kansas Raiders", and Gloria Grahame, who will soon be seen in "The Greatest Show on Earth."
Miss Ryan said she was born in Topeka, but was taken to California to live when she was two months old. However, her parents lived in Topeka several years after Miss Ryan was moved to California.
Other members of the group were: Leon Gordon, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer, Martin Rackin, screen writer, Sean McClory, character actor, Don Walker, publicity chairman of the caravan, Jim Castle and five members of the K.M.B.C. Texas Rangers.
Scott Brady said he had never been in Lawrence before in person
Lawrence before in person. "I got shot the only time I was here," he said, referring to his role in "Kansas Raiders" which appeared in Lawrence recently.
Leon Gordon, M.G.M. producer, is in charge of the tour. He said the tour will cover the whole of Kansas and western Missouri. The group will stop at 28 Kansas towns and wind up Saturday night at the American Royal in Kansas City.
18 New Jay Janes Initiated Tonight
Eighteen women will be pledged into Jay Janes at 5 p.m. today in the Pine room of the Union.
They are: Martha Shaw, fine arts junior; Ernestine Dehlinger, education senior; Virginia Brooks, education sophomore; JoAnn Lusk, College and nursing sophomore; Virginia Isaacson, College and nursing sophomore; Patricia Blanks, education junior.
Miykeo Horada, fine arts sophomore; Betty Clinger; education junior; Shirley Piatt, College sophomore; Martha Jane Heywood, College junior; Cynthia O'Brien, College sophomore; Suzanne Thompson, College junior; Cathleen Collins, College senior.
Winifred Miller, fine arts junior Roberta Link, College sophomore Suzanne Roop, College junior; Mary McCormick, College senior; and Jeannine Parkerson, College junior.
"During the past half century we've come from the penny peep show to one of the greatest mediums of all times." Mr. Gordon asserted. "We're a little proud of that."
The Kansas group visited Haskell institute and Lawrence Memorial High school before coming downtown to the Journal-World office. At Haskell they were swamped by 800 Indians who all wanted autographs. Consequently, fans in downtown Lawrence didn't get to see as much of them as they would have liked.
"The schedule we have is rather tight." Mr. Gordon said. "We are on the road by 6 a.m. and stop at 11 p.m. every day."
J. D. King, manager of the Commonwealth theaters, said that separate "Movie Time U.S.A." tours started officially at noon Monday in all 48 states. Each group will have lunch at the state capitol with the governor of the state which they are touring.
The tours are sponsored jointly by the motion picture industry in Hollywood and the movie theater owners in the United States. The costs are split evenly.
At Lawrence Memorial High school, each movie star gave an introductory speech at an all student convocation. The students were allowed to ask questions after the speeches were given.
Student Jobs Are Still Open
There are more student jobs available than there are applicants Donald Christian, student employment counselor, said today. Christian is located in the dean of men's office, 228 Strong hall.
Christian added that Lawrence merchants seem to need more part-time employees this semester than in previous semesters, due probably to the drain on labor reserves in the area such as the opening of the Sunflower Ordnance works.
It is also possible that many students who would be available for these jobs still have part of their wages earned during the summer.
Some of the jobs available to students are domestic positions, secretarial work, department stores, selling shoes, office worker for the State Highway department and a great deal of yard and maintenance work.
Breakfast For Campus Presidents To Be Held Saturday In Union
Presidents of more than 90 University organizations have been invited to attend the breakfast for campus presidents in the Union cafeteria Saturday at 9:15 a.m.
Margaret Habein, dean of women,
will explain the freshman dorm system.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy
will also speak to the group. Ann
Ivester, College junior, will be
chairman of the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting is to create more unity and coordination among University organizations and to explain University policies. This year the presidents' breakfasts will be given in the Union once a month instead of every two months as in
previous years.
Generally, around 60 attend the meetings. It is not difficult to see there are that many presidents. There are 26 womens and 44 men organized houses. The K-Book lists 158 organizations and each has a president.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Fresh out of Bivalve, N. J., he arrived on the campus all bug-eyed and his big mouth hanging open. He was
acutely sucked into a "shell game" and four himself making all the quick-trick cigarette tests. But his native instinct told him that such an important item as cigarette mildness couldn't be tossed off lightly. Millions of smokers everywhere have discovered, too, that there's but one true test of mildness.
It's the sensible test...the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke...on a pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests一
Camel leads all other brands by billions
