University Signs Chemical Research Contract With Army
The University has signed a chemical research contract with the Army Ordnance department under which University chemists will continue fundamental research in the thermodynamics of ion exchange systems.
The minute whirling ions, unseen positive or negative-charged particles, will undergo increased scrutiny in a study aimed at opening one more door to the unknown.
This is the second research contract the Army Ordnance department has placed at K.U. within the week. Tuesday Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced a contract for chemical research involving the molecular structures of lubricating oils.
Dr. Arthur W. Davidson, assistant dean of the Graduate school, and Dr. W. J. Argersinger, both professors of chemistry, are co-directors of the study, which they began three years ago with the Office of Naval Research as sponsor.
The project, now being enlarged with $4,250 made available for the year, has made it possible for three graduate students to earn the doctor of philosophy degree during the past two years.
While serving as a co-director, Dr. Argersinger will devote part of his time to work on the project. The graduate research assistants will be Leslie Leifer of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Miss Elizabeth M. Wilson of Kirtland, N.M.
The basic knowledge resulting from the study may have application in improving purification techniques for lubricating oils, Dr. Argersinger said.
Music Program At 2 p.m. Sunday
The program presented in the Union Music room at 2 p.m. Sunday by the hostess, Miss Clara James, will include "Brandenburg Concerto No. 5" (Bach), "Carnival of Animals" (Saint-Saens), "The Lotus Blossom & Dedication for baritone" (Schumann), "Hungarian Dances for violin" (Bartok), and "Two Novellettes for piano" (Poulene)
Folk songs of all nationalities, operas, instrumental, vocal, orchestral and chamber music works of every description are included in the Music room collection.
Records are played on a three-speed turntable and a large console speaker given by the Carnegie foundation.
Math Meeting Will Be Oct. 1
The mathematics colloquium, scheduled for Monday afternoon at Strong hall was postponed until 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 1.
Pep Section To Use Cards
The pep section will use card formations to emphasize their yells at the home football games this season.
the following formations will be used: K.U. centered in a football, HELL-L, HI GRADS, BEAT I. S. (Iowa State), and the American flag.
Dean Cole, chairman of the card committee, said he hopes to have the pep section ready to use the cards at the Iowa State game Saturday.
Each member of the pep section will have two plastic cards with a different color on each side. Red, blue, yellow, and white will be used
He and other members of the committee are giving demonstrations of the use of the cards at the pep club meetings this week.
Jane Baker and Sue Ihinger will represent the University Y.W.C.A. at the Rocky Mountain Regional W.Y.-C.A.,Y.M.C.A., conference during the week-end at the School of Missions in Kansas City, Mo.
2 Students To Go To Y Conference
Students and faculty members from colleges and universities in the nine state area will plan the programs to be used by local groups within the region.
Geologists To Meet Saturday In Lindley
Miss Baker is the national delegate from this region, and Miss Ihinger is a co-chairman from the Kansas district of the Y.W.C.A.
Petrography of Kansas coals and clays will be discussed Saturday by lecturers attending a Geological Society meeting in Lindley hall from 9:45 to 11 a.m.
About 100 persons are expected to be present for Prof. W. W. Hambleton's lecture on "Petrography of Kansas Coals." He is a member of the University's geology department.
Miss Ada Swineford, a geologist on the State Geological survey, will also speak on a topic termed "Petrography of Kansas Clays."
p13 A luncheon in the Kansas room of the Union will follow the technical session.

Engineers To Be Draft-Exempt
An attempt to keep students in engineering schools across the country out of the armed service until they have completed their educations will be made this weekend at the national meeting of the Engineering Joint council in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dean T. De Witt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture will attend the meeting. Leading businessmen and educators from each state have been invited.
A committee will be organized to work on a national scale in their efforts to make engineering students draft-exempt.
The committee will also emphasize engineering school possibilities to all high school seniors, in efforts to increase enrollments at college levels.
J. V. Sikes is going into his fourth year as head coach of the Jayhawkers.
The "A" stands for "Activities"-and he's in a lot of them. Plays first-string basketball. Writes for the school paper. Represents his class on the student council.
And on top of that, he's a good student.
Telephone people are like that, too. Besides giving good, friendly,courteous telephone service they take part in numerous extracurricular activities:
That's why you'll find telephone men and women working on charity drives, joining service clubs, leading Scout troops.
The same spirit of friendliness and helpfulness which lies behind the fine telephone service this country receives, makes telephone people A-people in their communities.
