Four Awarded Summerfield Scholarships
We cannot kill the Communist ideology with bullets, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy told the Y.M.C.A. Thursday.
Four University of Kansas students have been appointed Summerfield scholars on the basis of their college work, it was announced today by James K. Hitt, registrar and chairman of the Summerfield committee.
The four are Lee S. Douglass, engineering sophomore; Jerry W. Knudson, college sophomore; Jimmy Simmons, engineering freshman and John Richard Transue, engineering junior.
They will receive the same honors and awards as the Summerfield scholars who won the statewide competitions as high school seniors. Each of the four will receive a grant sufficient to pay any costs of his KU. education that he can't provide from his personal resources.
The Summerfield scholarships are supported by a $20,000 annual grant from the estate of the late Solon E. Summerfield, K.U. alumnus and a New York manufacturer. Character and promise of future usefulness to society are criteria for the awards as well as scholarship.

Student Warned About Thieves
University students have been cautioned by Police Chief John Ingalls and Sheriff Travis Glass to beware of thieves.
An appeal for more women graduates from communication engineering schools was received this week from a chief engineering representative of the American Telephone and Telegraph company.
This is the time of the year that burglaries are most common, they said. Students are urged to ask questions of strangers to determine if they have any reasons for being in a house. This might prevent robberies, they said.
"This applies especially to the organized houses," Mr. Glass said. "The majority of the inhabitants are not familiar with most of the former residents, friends, and alumni. Thieves take full advantage of this situation to operate."
Seek Women Grads In Engineering
Another way to avoid loss is to make sure there is someone in the house at all times, the officers said.
In a letter addressed to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, W. R. Wheeler, Kansas City area chief engineer, said, "It has been found advantageous to utilize college women with majors in mathematics, physical sciences, or statistics, to perform complex computing work necessary in telephone and telegraph transmission."
The Kansas City representative said that the rate of pay "compares favorably with that of other industries for work necessitating employees of comparable background and education."
Services of 16 college graduates— women are needed at Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Wheeler said.
