Iran Stands Firm On Oil Well Decision
Tehran, Iran (U.P.)—Iran stood firm today against submitting Nationalization of its oil wells to arbitration despite British protests
The government reiterated its stand in a letter to the "former Anglo-Iranian Oil company" Sunday, and asked it to designate an official to discuss Iran's take-over of the company's installations.
The letter rejected the company's protest against cancellation of its long-term oil concession. It contended Iran had a sovereign right to nationalize the country's oil wells.
Even though the concession specified that any dispute should be settled by arbitration, the letter said, this does not apply to parliament's nationalization action. There is no international authority competent to judge the issue, it said.
The letter indicated that the British government's request of May 19 for negotiation of the nationalization dispute also will be rejected.
The British note said Britain could not accept unilateral cancellation of the oil concession and offered to send a mission to Tehran to discuss a new agreement.
The note also said Britain might take the case to the world court at The Hague, but Iran's letter to the oil company implied that it would not recognize the court's jurisdiction.
The Iranian letter to the Anglo-Iranian company said the government is prepared to discuss the company's "legitimate" claims for compensation.
Tuition Raise Means $120,000 TO K-State
Manhattan (U.P.)—The increased incidental fee, passed by the Board of Regents in April, will bring an additional $120,000 to Kansas State college next year, A. R. Jone, college comptroller, estimated.
The Regents raised incidental fees at all state schools. The raises, to become effective Saturday, Sept. 1, are $10 for residents and $30 for non-residents at K-State. Raises will make new totals $72.50 a semester for Kansans and $142.50 a semester for students from out-state.
The young lobster molts or sheds its bony shell as often as a grade-school boy outgrows shoes. Beginning from the second to the fifth day after birth, the lobster sheds up to 17 times the first year of its life and continues at a slower rate thereafter.
Inscriptions In Memorial Room
Members of the Jay Janes and KuKu's will serve as ushers at the dedication of the World War II Memorial campanile at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, May 27.
Guests at the dedication will be seated in the curve of the stadium to hear the University carillon played for the first time. They are also invited to inspect the 120-foot structure.
The names of 276 K.U. men and women who lost their lives in World War II are inscribed on the inside walls of the Memorial room in the base of the campanile.
Memorial inscriptions, names of donors, and information about the memorial and the University will be projected on an 18-inch screen which has been set into the wall of the room.
Over 8,000 alumni, faculty, students, and friends of the University contributed to the memorial fund. A total of $343,000 was collected.
The carillon cost approximately $78,000 and the tower $175,000. The remainder of the money was used for construction of Memorial drive.
The driveway turns off Mississippi street just below Green Hall and winds westward until it joins West Campus drive.
It is planned to extend the drive around the south side of the hill making a complete loop back to Mississippi street in later years. This would make the drive over a mile long.
It will be asphalt covered and have concrete gutters in some places, but with sod gutter drained by underground tile most of the way. Where necessary, low guard rails painted dark green and bearing night markers will be placed. The drive will be landscaped.
The class of 1925 will present a rock garden to the University to be placed near the drive as its silver anniversary gift.
Fine Arts Seniors Display Original Designs In Strong
Art work by the graduating seniors in the department of design is being displayed on the third floor of Strong hall.
A tea for parents and friends to the seniors will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 3. in 308 Strong hall, where they may view the exhibits. The work will be removed Monday, June 4.
One of the outstanding exhibits is the silversmithing work done by Lois Etherington and Jules Reed. Included are drawings, a copper coffee set, jewelry, candlesticks, and trays.
In the interior design exhibit steps in planning a house are shown from the floor plan to the painting and use of fabrics in room decoration. A scale model house, measuring approximately 3 by 4 feet, features all hand-made furnishings.
John Morgan designed and constructed a wooden coffee pot in the industrial design exhibit. Dwight Aldrich constructed a model coffee table and a vanity for men with a unique shirt compartment design.
A modern lamp made of copper tubing, gumwood, hardwood cloth, and skin plastic and designed by William Mennell is also part of the industrial design exhibit.

A native of Topeka, he is the son of the late David G. Page and Mrs. Page of that city. After his graduation from K.U. in 1934 he was with the National Bank of Topeka until 1941. Following a year as labor market economist for the U.S. Employment service, he was a glider pilot for three war years.
Mrs. Page is the former Barbara Kester, daughter of professor emeritus of physics and Mrs. Frederick E. Kester of Lawrence.
Music Awards Announced
Dale Moore, fine arts freshman missed the weekly Thursday afternoon recital. He didn't want to, for he received in absentia an award from Pi Kappa Lambda, national honorary music society, as the outstanding freshman music student at K.U.
But Moore was in Houston, Texas, where May 18 he sang for the national meeting of the General Federation of Women's clubs. A baritone and a student of Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice, Moore had won auditions of the Kansas Federation. He so impressed the critics at the contest in Wichita at Easter time that the invitation to sing at the national meeting followed.
the other Pi Kappa Lambda awards were given Martha Heck, fine arts sophomore, and Delores Wunsch, fine arts junior.
Besides the honor, Moore received $5, Miss Heck $10, and Miss Wunsch $15.
New Class In Summer Term
A new idea in parenthood courses will be offered by the department of entomology during the summer session. Introduced during the 8-week term will be the new "Insect Life Histories," a junior-senior level course.
Stockton and other retiring directors will be honored at the closing session of the annual meeting. Speaker for the climax session will be Henry J. Taylor, noted commentator and journalist.
The content of the course is planned to provide the explanations about worms and butterflies and other insects that children invariably seek from parents. It also is aimed toward those who may teach at summer camps or work with other youth groups.
Stockton To Close C of C Service
An excellent way of interesting children and adults in nature, according to Dr. Charles E. Michener, department chairman, is to let them keep some living insects for a time and observe their transformations and feeding habits.
Dean Frank T. Stockton, of University Extension, will complete three years' service on the Board of Directors of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce at the organization's 1951 annual meeting in Wichita on Thursday, June 7, President M. W. Watson, Topeka, reported today.

Wallops Island, Va. (U.P.)—Government scientists are test models of pilotless supersonic combat planes which zoom at 3,000 miles an hour to altitudes approaching 160,000 feet.
Pilotless Supersonic Planes May Make Aviation History
US, Russia Still Differ On Terms
Washington (U.P.)The door was left open today for Russia to join in the writing of a Japanese peace treaty, but the United States made clear Russia had better come up with better terms.
The note also charged that Russia was "conniving at aggression" by attempting to write a treaty which would deny Japan the right of collective self defense.
In a 4,000 word American note published Sunday, the state department bluntly rejected as unworkable the latest Russian proposals for a Japanese treaty. It said the Soviet demands were aimed at delay and not speedy completion of a treaty
Point by point, the state department turned down Russian proposals that Communist China help write the treaty, that Formosa be given to Red China, and that American troops be completely withdrawn from Japan.
Free Trip Offered
A three-week paid vacation to Austria is being offered to University students by the Austro-American Society.
In cooperation with the Austrian hotel - management, the Federal Ministry for Education, the Federal Ministry for Trade and Reconstruction, the Federal Ministry for Traffic, and the Vienna city government, the society has extended invitations to 100 American students to come to Austria for a three-week vacation free of charge.
Registration blanks may be picked up in 304 Fraser hall and must be sent to the Austro-American Society, Vienna I, Kaertnternasse 38, Austria, immediately. An article entitled "Why I Am Interested in Visiting Austria," must accompany each application.
The purpose of this invitation, according to the society, is to enable a comparatively large number of Americans to get acquainted with the Austrian culture, the country, and its population. Numerous Austrians have visited the U.S. for study.
The trip will include a 14-day stay for each student at an Austrian tourist resort, a trip to Vienna, a trip to Salzburg, and a short stay in Linz to see the United Iron and Steel works and the Abbey St. Florian.

The revolutionary aircraft hear little resemblance to even the most advanced models now flying. They promise an entirely new chapter of aviation.
Research at this secret testing grounds is so hush-hush that today's visit by some 30 newsmen marked the first time that outsiders have been permitted to enter the pilotless aircraft research station during the six years it has been in operation.
The base is operated by the National Advisory committee for aeronautics, the government's basic aviation research agency. Wallops Island, named for a Virginia family, is a desolate, swampy piece of land off the seacoast of Virginia's eastern shore.
Scientists are able to calculate within 10 seconds whether a test model gives promise of being developed into a successful combat plane.
Researchers launched two pilot-less aircraft for the visiting newsmen. From these lauchings and interviews with scientists here, it is possible to predict that the military plane of tomorrow will have a long, slender fuselage with a needle-pointed nose. Its wings will be mounted far toward the rear, in contrast with today's planes.
The wings will be extremely thin. World War II and even present wing thicknesses would be impossible for the high-speed aircraft envisioned.
One of the models launched for reporters soared 3,000 feet in three seconds. Then, its fuel expended, it "coated" up to 15,000 feet at a top speed of more than 1,000 miles an hour. Its wings were swept back sharply at an approximate 60-degree angle.
The demonstration emphasized the statement of Robert R. Gulrith, chief of the research program, that definite increases in bomber speeds are planned. Gulrith refused to say whether there is any limit in the speed which pilotless planes will able to achieve-providing enough power is available and problems of friction can be solved.
Researchers here are working with both piloted planes and missiles. More than 1,500 test models have been launched—more, according to some officials, than at any other research center.

Geology Students Will Spend 5 Weeks At Field Camp In Garden Park, Colo.
Part of K.U.'s summer session is held every year in Colorado.
The geology department maintains a permanent field camp in Garden Park, Colo., and every geology major is required to take the five-week summer field course there.
The camp has six log cabins with, hot and cold running water, and electric lighting. The camp hold 37 students, another is for the staff, and a sixth is the study cabin.
Every year students on the field trip study geology of Garden Park and travel to Colorado Springs, the Garden of the Gods, the Royal gorge, Cripple Creek, and the large zinc mines of Gilman, Colo. They also visit Mt. Capulin, a national monument in New Mexico, and Spanish Peaks in southern Colorado.
The University was the first school to establish a summer camp in Colorado, Dr. R. M. Dreyer.
chairman of the geology department, said. More than 10 schools now have summer camps there, but the geological location of the K.U. camp is considered to be the best in the country.
The camp will last from Sunday June 10 to Saturday, July 14. Thirty-six students have signed up to go. The camp will be conducted by B. E. Thomas, assistant professor of geology, and William Hambleton, graduate student, assisted by Robert Beu, Donald Asquith, and Samuel Bishop, graduate students.
