Smith Displays Jewelry
Exhibit At Los Angeles Fair
Six pieces of jewelry and silversmithing by Carlyle H. Smith, assistant professor of design, have been accepted for exhibit in the fine arts section of the Los Angeles county fair.
Officials of the California event have notified Professor Smith that one of his jewelry entries has received an honorable mention and a sterling silver creamer has been awarded a prize.
With most of American students seeming to be foot-ballers, ping-pongers, social-dancers, sing-songs and the like, we used to surmise that classroom work here might be easier than we had experienced in Japan. Perhaps there'd be tough examinations at the end of each semester but virtually no assignments, with only a few exceptions.
Heavy Assignments' Make Big Impression On Japanese
YWCA Meeting At 4 Today
All women students interested in Y.W.C.A. are invited to attend the opening Y.W.C.A. meeting at 4 p.m. Thursday at Myers hall. New students as well as former members are welcome.
By YUJIRO MAEDA
The cabinet members will explain the procedure of the Y.W.C.A. program, and each commission will demonstrate its particular part. Members can then decide in which commission they wish to participate.
Organizations or persons wishing to put notices in the official bulletin of the University Daily Kansan should call Thomas Yoe, director of public relations at K.U. 216, before 9:30 a.m. on the day of publication.
Bulletin Deadline 9:30 a.m.
(Editor's Note: This is Mr. Maeda's first story written for an American newspaper. It was written as an assignment for Feature Writing. Mr. Maeda was a reporter for a Tokyo newspaper before coming to K.U.)
"Heavy assignments" were the most outstanding impressions made on Japanese students who attended their first classes here Monday.
WEATHER
Therefore, "assignments" come really as a surprise to us. Coming out of the class in German language taught by Mrs. Aldo Vigliano, instructor in German, Masao Itagaki told me, with an appalled look, that he had to read through Goethe's "Wanderers Nachlicht" and submit a report on it. Having majored in German literature at a Japanese university in Tokyo, this young man is pretty convinced of his own ability in German. After taking his early supper, however, he hurriedly went
KANSAS: Fair and warmer this afternoon with increasing cloudiness tonight followed by showers west and north. Mostly cloudy Friday with scattered showers east and south. Cooler northwest and extreme north tonight. Much cooler over the state Friday. Low tonight 40 northwest to 55-60 southeast. High Friday lower 60's northwest to lower 70's southeast.
Seven Japanese students are enrolled at K.U. this fall. We are among 520 Japanese students who have come to the United States for one year's study under the personnel exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Army and the Institute of International Education.
home, saying that he was going to be "awfully busy" that night.
Now the assignment panic is compelling the seven green Oriental Jayhawkers to make a change in the programs they have drawn up so far to "enjoy their life" in this quiet college town. One thing which is to be noted in this connection, however, is that all of us are firmly determined to make every effort to carry through the assignments, since we are of the belief that it would be the best way to make our study more fruitful.
I was no exception. Entering the classroom where Dr. Leland J. Pritchard was lecturing on Money and Banking, I was given some printed matter. I was taken aback, however, when I knew from the paper that I had to read through the greater part of five books as assignments for the first six weeks.
Arrowwood Urges SUA To Provide 'Fun For All'
Let's get the show on the road for other students to enjoy, urged Paul Arrowwood. Student Union activities president, in welcoming students at the first S.U.A. meeting Wednesday night in the Union ballroom.
More than 300 students attended to learn about the many projects of the S.U.A. for the coming year.
Among the many activities of the S.U.A. are; College Daze, Student Union carnival, Hawk Stalk, Sweetheart Swing, K.U. Relays, Homecoming events, name bands, concerts, the talent search, Freshman Days activities display, secretarial work, publicity, and decorations.
The functions of the recreation committee, which aids the 4-No Bridge club, Table Tennis club Chess club and Square Dance club, and the various special projects which come up during the year were explained.
Students who were chairmen of the various activities committees last year explained their work.
Last year S.U.A. brought Jazz at the Philharmonic and Harry James to the campus. The S.U.A. has made arrangements to bring Richard Chase, one of the top three folk tale, dance, and song experts in the U.S., to the Union Oct. 27. The popular Student Union activities display will be Wednesday, Oct. 3.
To bring entertainers to the University and pay for its activities during the year, the organization has a budget of $2,205. This money comes from Student Union activity fees. More than half of this year's budget money will be money left over from the budget approved last year.
New students may still join Student Union activities at the S.U.A offices in the Union this week. Membership is free.
Best KU Gridster To Be Interviewed
The K.U. football player whose play in the T.C.U. game Saturday is considered outstanding will be interviewed by Max Falkenstien, K.U. sports announcer, on the next "Jayhawk Locker Room Club" broadcast Tuesday, Sept. 25.
This will be the second quarter hour Locker Room program which each week will be tape recorded at the University and mailed to a group of Kansas radio stations.
Subject of the interviews will be an analysis of the previous week's game and a forecast for the coming week's sports event.
a 1,000-watt flashing-code beacon.
Aubrey Linville, co-captain of the KU. football team and Earl Falkenstien, business manager of the athletic department, were heard on the initial program sent out this week.
Work on a transmitter building to be located near the new KANU radio tower west of the campus is expected to begin soon.
The $30,000 tower, a gift to the University from Jack Harris, of Hutchinson, was finished Monday. It is 515 feet high and topped with
To Build KANU Building Soon
Ed Browne, director of the University radio department, is studying plans for the building in conjunction with members of the department and George Beal, professor of architecture. Completion is expected by January when the new FM station goes on the air.
ROTC's Assured Of Finishing Degrees
An announcement by the department of defense Wednesday gives any University student who is in the R.O.T.C. program the assurance that even in a period of full-scale mobilization he will be permitted to complete his work for a university degree.
Commandants of the Air Force, Army and Naval R.O.T.C. units here at K.U. interpreted the announcement as strengthening the R.O.T.C. opportunity for an educational postponement of military service coupled with the assurance that such service as is required will be in a commissioned officer status.
He will teach Reporting I, Editing I and The Editorial.
Professor Pickett replaces Charles G. Pearson, who underwent a bone graft operation in August as the result of an automobile accident last year.
Calder M. Pickett has been appointed assistant professor in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information this fall.
J-School Names New Teacher
Professor Pickett received the bachelor of science degree from Utah State Agricultural college in 1944 and a master of science degree from Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern university, in 1948. He has taught at Utah State and Medill. During the past three years he was instructor in journalism at the University of Denver.
In 1937 Professor Pickett began his first newspaper job on a Utah weekly, the Franklin County Citizen. He was news writer and radio writer for the Utah State Extension service in 1943, reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune in 1946, and assistant state editor, copywriter, and copy desk head for the Salt Lake Deseret News in 1948.
Other new members of the Journalism school staff are Victor J. Danilov, assistant professor of journalism; Robert B. Wentworth, assistant professor of advertising, and R. Edwin Browne, instructor in journalism.
Quack Club Tryouts Set For Tonite
To be eligible for acceptance, a student must carry at least 12 hours and maintain a one point grade average.
Tryouts for women interested in joining the Quack club for swimmers will be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight and at 7:30 Thursday, Sept. 27, at the pool in Robinson gymnasium.
June Porter, club president, requests all candidates to furnish their own suits, towels, and caps. Active members should report to the pool at 7:15.
Judging for membership will be on skill in the following strokes: crawl, breast, side, and back-crawl.
The announcement reiterates the continued reliance on the R.O.T.C.'s as the source of junior officer personnel along with the military and naval academies and the officer candidate schools for enlisted men.
The R.O.T.C. programs may be accelerated, but the content will not be reduced, and cadets and midshipmen will not be called to active duty before earning degrees.
Of course, the student must maintain a scholarship record which a joint faculty-military board contain. In order to be retained in the program,
R. O.T.C. students maintaining satisfactory records receive deferments from the draft. Upon graduation they are commissioned as reserve officers and may be called to active duty.
The Army and Air Force R.O.T.C. units at K.U. still have vacancies in the freshman classes and are accepting late enrollments. The Naval R.O.T.C., which has the smallest freshman quota of the three, is filled.
Registrar James K. Hitt had a few comments on the announcement. He said:
Mr. Hitt emphasized that any man who enters as a freshman this year should not be worried about finishing his education since vacancies still exist in some of the R.O.T.C. units and late enrollments are being accepted.
"There is no question that Selective Service is going to require more men in the coming year. The pressure will be the greatest on the student who is not a member of the R.O.T.C. units since the rules regarding his deferment are only advisory."
"Uppercasemen will find cheering news in the announcement by the Marine Corps concerning enlistment in the officer candidate and platoon leader course. Now students up through their final year of college are eligible to enlist in this program. Those accepted will be allowed to complete their schooling without danger of being drafted."
"No change has been recommended to Selective Service that would affect the status of college students in any way during the current academic year 1951-52," she said.
In a recent statement Mrs. Anna Rosenberg, assistant secretary of defense, said the requirements for educational deferments will remain the same for the remainder of the present school year.
"In the light of current manpower requirements of the armed forces," she continued, "there is no prospect or plan for abolishing student deferment."
However Mrs. Rosenberg did warn the demands of the services may cause fewer deferments to be granted.
Radios, Intercoms In Watkins Hospital
Many improvements, including a patient-to-nurse inter-communication system, individual under-the-pillow radio receivers and improved lighting and kitchen facilities have been made at Watkins hospital during the summer months.
Patients who want to hear radio
Patients who want to near radio programs may now tune in either AM or FM stations without bothering their roommates. The newcomer is often the most susceptible closer attention to patients from nurses, Caneton pointed out. Old type overhead lights have been replaced by individual bed lights.
Kitchen improvements are not immediately obvious to the student but Dr. Cauteson says the kitchen is now equipped to give better service than ever before.
Two new physicians are now on the hospital staff. Dr. Hans Hilberg and his wife, Mrs. Thelma Hilberg, from Norway are at K.U. as exchange students on the Fulbright scholarship.
"Although many things have changed, Dr. Canuteson said, "the policy of the hospital is, as it has always been, service to the student."
