Relays Results To Be Sent Across US By KU 'Hams'
Bv DOROTHY OGLESBEE
Results of the Relays are being transmitted to amateur radio operators across the nation today by the K.U. Amateur Radio club
The club sent postcards to all universities and high schools entered in the Relays offering to radio results of any interested amateur operators.
An operator stationed in a booth above the stadium press box will transmit Relays statistics to an operator on duty in a station located in the electrical engineering laboratory. This operator will give the results to a third operator who will dispatch the news to all "ham" operators tuned in on 7,164 kilocycles.
The club transmitted results of last year's Relays directly from the stadium. They hope to reach a greater number of schools this year by transmitting from the more powerful station in the laboratory.
Amateur radio operators are organized much as other participants in amateur sports. The Amateur Radio Relay league divides the nation into state and regional networks.
Each operator with out-of-state messages transmits them to a designated member of the state network, who relays them to the regional network.
From the regional network they go on a trunk-line to the receiving regional network. The message is relayed through the state network and delivered by telephone to the addressee.
Amateurs maintain a message service to any point in the states, the canal zone, Alaska, the island possessions, and occupied territories. They also send messages to countries which have made treaties with the United States providing for this type of communication—Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Canada.
Canada does not permit transmission of third-party messages that ordinarily would be sent by commercial means.
Amateur operators are licensed by the Federal Communications commission. To qualify for a class
B license an operator must be able to send and receive 13 words a minute in the international general service code. He must pass both a technical and legal examination.
There are no age limits for licensing, but to hold a license the operator must be an American citizen.
Licensing regulations will soon allow granting of licenses to persons passing a five-word-a-minute code test.
In past years it has been the custom of the club to set up a booth at the Engineering Exposition from which persons might send wireless messages to any point in the country.
Because of current heavy radiogram traffic from Korea and Japan, message- handling, amateur networks are overloaded, and the club will not sponsor a booth this year.
"Ham" operators in Korea have played an important part in supplementing the slow mail service by relaying messages from American soldiers to their families.
Sweep For Clyde Lovellette
Clyde Lovellette's spot on the annual 10-man selection of the Helms foundation all-American team just about completed an all-sweeping circuit for K.U.'s giant basketball center.
Lovellette previously had been accorded first team berths on A.P., U.P., Collier's, and The Sporting News.
Keeping him company on Helms pick were Ernie Barrett, Kansas State guard, Gale MacArthur of Okla. A. and M., and Gene Melchiorre of Bradley, thus giving the fifth N.C.A.A. district four slots.
Track and field truly exemplifies the American way of life. One man competes directly with his rivals and all against those most formidable rivals, time and distance. The individual is on his own. He is not burdened with inferior teammates; superior teammates can not carry him. He excells according to his ability, as modified by his conditioning and will to win. Only a few common sense rules govern him, and they exist to assure fair play for each entrant. Yet in the relays and team totals there is the reminder that there must be high standards of group achievement.
Relays Part Of American Way Of Life
All this parallels the American way of life, which gives the individual opportunity to progress and excel to the maximum of his ability, checked only by a few rules to guarantee opportunity for all.
The University of Kansas is proud that its track and field competitors have excelled in so American a sport. The University is equally proud that through the Kansas Relays it can be host to a great festival of achievement and sportsmanship.

To Show Paint Making
A complete model of a continuous process for the manufacture of chrome orange paint will be featured in this year's display by the chemical engineers at the Engineer Exposition.
The exhibit will show how paint is manufactured starting with the basic constituents—in this case lead nitrate and potassium chromate—up to the time it is ready for use.
First the two ingredients are introduced at proper temperature and mixed as they react. Then they are run through a sedimentary device, a settling vessel, to separate the precipitate from water and other non-usable products. This precipitate is called slurry. Next follows the mixing of slurry, or pigment, with linseed oil and turpentine. This is the finished product, chrome orange paint. This display will be in the basement of Lindley hall in the chemical engineering department.
In Lindley hall auditorium several experiments will be conducted and movies shown. Two of these experiments are the showing of glass
adsorption and the making of solid alcohol. In glass adsorption, a glass beaker or flask is colored by the adsorption by the glass of molecules of a strong dye. A thin layer of the molecules causing a color sheen remains.
Solid alcohol is, in reality a liquid but it is held in meshes produced by crystals. Calcium acetate and alcohol are mixed to form the crystals. If the "solid" is kept undisturbed the crystals will settle and two products will again appear.
Movies will be shown alternating with the experiments. One movie explains the manufacture of gasoline. Other films are on atomic energy, sulphur, and synthetic rubber.
In the basement of Lindley hall a hair oil machine will be operating. There will also be an apparatus for making acetone and a bench model making ethyl alcohol.
To attract attention to their displays, the students will have an old-fashioned still in operation outside of Lindley hall.
