KU's TV Hearing set For Oct.15
The University television committee has nearly completed plans for presentation of K.U.'s case before the Federal Communications commission Monday, Oct. 15.
Obtaining a TV construction permit is difficult at the present time, according to R. Edwin Browne, director of University radio. The reason: F.C.C. has placed a "freeze" on the granting of new station permits.
Opposing the University's request are three Kansas City radio stations, also requesting the rights o Channel 11.
According to Mr. Browne, the University committee is preparing sworn evidence that Channel 11 should be placed in Lawrence.
"It's certainly not our purpose to deny these commercial stations television." Mr. Browne said.
He mentioned that he had been impressed by the "intimate relationship between teachers and students" here, "Both are on an equal footing" he said. In India, he explained, when a teacher enters a classroom for lecture, students stand up from their seats to salute him and do not sit down before he does.

Loyd Franklin Long has been appointed assistant director of libraries to replace de Lafayette Reid who resigned.
Growth of the University has made it necessary to rename several campus streets. Roads have been changed to boulevards and lanes to drives in an effort to modernize street names.
Lilac lane, near the chancellor's home, has grown from lane proportions into Lilac drive. Jayhawk road, the main east-west thoroughfare, is now Jayhawk boulevard. Sunnyside street was changed to Sunnyside avenue to give variety to names of campus traffic ways.
New Street Names Due To KU Growth
The following received promotions: William R. Holman, stack supervisor; Mrs. Hild N. Binyon, order assistant; and Mrs. Charlotte McCarty, engineering librarian.
The section of Mississippi street which passes over the hill and angles toward Indiana street has been renamed Sunflower road for clarification.
With one exception the baskets show no influence of other cultures. The exception is a small hanging basket which was originally thought to be of Japanese origin, but later discovered to be an imitation of the pioneer iron pot.
The baskets are of various designs, some being decorated with beads, feathers, colored porcupine quills, and leather. Not all the baskets were used as baskets. One was originally a net.
Even Class Breaks Fail To Rouse Soundest Sleeper On The KU Campus
One of the soundest sleepers on the K.U. campus is a brown and white dog who habitually takes a siesta in the Strong rotunda.
An exhibit of hand-woven Indian baskets are now on display in the third floor west end corridor of Strong hall.
The baskets are between 60 and 100 years old and are owned by Pat Read, owner of the Pat Read Indian shop. The exhibit will be on display until Nov. 1.
He seems to have developed an affection for the School of Fine Arts office and beds down only a few feet from the office door. The fine arts office staff, however, denies any connection with the canine.
"He's not my dog," Dean Thomas Forton denied emphatically. "This

Their long-haired visitor is really a sound sleeper. All the chattering and noise going with the hourly break of classes fails to disturb him.
61 ROTC Men Train At Camp
Sixty-one University men attended R.O.T.C. training this summer at summer camps located throughout the country.
The R.O.T.C. students attended courses for the engineer, quartermaster, armored, signal, and chemical corps and courses on the infantry, artillery, ordnance, transportation, military police, and Army security.
Superior ratings were received for willingness to work and the ability to do jobs. None of the Kansas unit ratings were below excellent.
There were no dismissals of K.U students or any disciplinary problems, Col. E. F. Kumpe, professor of military science and tactics, said.
The engineer corps and the infantry camps were each attended by 16 K.U. men. Eleven attended the quartermaster corps camp, four went to armored and ordinance units, three to the signal corps and military police, and one each to the chemical corps, artillery, and Army security camps.
Three summer cruises and two training schools attracted approximately 140 University N.R.O.T.C. men last summer. One cruise was made to the European area and two were to the Caribbean sea and Canal zone. A total of 101 men went on the cruises.
Navy Men Spend Summer Training
Among the 13-ship fleet on the European cruise were two battleships, a heavy cruiser, and destroyers, mine sweepers, and transport-type craft. The training lasted from one to two months.
Training schools were held for Marine Corps instruction and for aviation and amphibious docterina. Marine training was given at the Quantico Marine base, Va. The aviation training was given at Pensacola, Fla., Naval air base for one month. The trainees then moved to Little Creek, Va., for a month of amphibious training.

After 300 years the Prespei fig- sures in the Museum of Art are getting a bath and some new clothes.
New Clothes After 3 Centuries Art Museum Dolls Get Bath,
the dolls were made in Italy during the 18th century. Their faces, forearms and legs are carved from lindenwood and their bodies are made of straw and wrapped in linen. Many of them wear the same clothes their makers put on them three centuries ago.
Miss Carol Dunn, museum assistant, is making the new clothes from Italian silk. The garments will be as nearly authentic as handsewing and research can make them.
The three scenes were part of the original Thayer collection. They include a nativity group, a tavern scene, and a scene with Joseph, Mary, the Infant and a noblewoman.
The collection is one of the best in existence. The dolls are six to eight inches high. The carving is so fine that there are teeth, hair, fingernails, and a wart on the face of one of the men in the tavern scene.
The eyes are the most outstanding bit of craftsmanship. Sockets were carved out and tiny glass eyes, complete in detail, were inserted and wooden lids glued back in place.
With the exception of Joseph and Mary in the nativity scene, all the dolls are in eighteenth century dress. Joseph and Mary wear Biblical costumes.
Originally the dolls were used in the churches to tell Bible stories to peasants who could not read.
The nativity scene, constructed of paper mache over a wood base, is
