King Awards Ex-Instructor Medal For Patriotic Writings
How should a lady wear a medal? This is the problem faced by Mrs. J. A. Mix, former English instructor, who was recently awarded the Royal St. Olav medal by King Haakon VII of Norway for her writings concerning that country during the last war.
The medal, which bears a profile of the king, was forwarded to Mrs. Mix by the royal Norwegian consulate-general in Chicago. The medal was accompanied by a letter expressing the king's praise.
Mrs. Mix's stories have appeared in the New Yorker, American, and Scholastic magazines and in several Canadian and English periodicals.
In the articles she told of the experiences of Norwegian pilots who escaped to England and Canada after the German invasion of their country.
Her first article concerning Norway was published in a December, 1940 issue of the New Yorker and was based upon material gathered while she and Dr. Mix were touring Europe in the fall of 1939.
After a few other stories in national magazines, she received a

letter from the Norwegian government thankening her for the writings and inviting her to visit "Little Norway," a camp located near Toronto, Canada. There she interviewed the escaped Norwegian pilots who were being given further training before their return to England.
should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any lens or prescription duplicated.
Following the war, Dr. and Mrs. Mix sent packages of food and clothing to many of the men they had met in Canada. While on tour of Europe in the summer of 1950 they visited many of these men and their families.
Mrs. Mix's writing was interrupted in 1946 when she began teaching in the English department. No longer teaching, however, Mrs. Mix now plans to resume writing.

'College Daze Entries Open
The script for the all-school musical, "College Daze," will be selected from entries turned in at the Student Union activities office in the Union by the middle of October.
Anyone who would like some ideas, may look in the S.U.A. file, which includes many previous Daze serpts.
Major qualifications for the musical are that it stay within the budget, meet ethical standards, and reach all University students.
The ruling organization over the musical will be the S.U.A. board of directors, three other students, and three faculty advisors.
In obtaining student help on the musical, first priority will be given to those who worked on last year's production.
The purpose of "College Daze" is to provide good entertainment for K.U. students and at the same time utilize student ability in the production. Publicity, costuming, directing and acting are all done and controlled by students.
Previous productions include "College Daze" in 1948; Ghost Of A Chance, 1940; West of Abilene, 1950; and Gone With The Gin, 1951.
