Best Exhibit In Exposition To Win Trophy
A silver cup will go to the department with the most outstanding exhibit in the Engineering Exposition.
Presented by Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, the cup will be awarded in the office of the dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture on Saturday, the second day of the Exposition.
A committee of Sigma Tau members representing all departments will select the winner. Basis for the winners' ranking explanation, and general appearance.
Any department winning the award three years in succession retains the cup permanently. The department of architecture, in winning a second award in 1948, has the world's top TV aeronautical department won in 1949 and the electrical engineering department in 1950.
Among the unusual displays which will vie for the award this year are a typewriter which types mathematical symbols, from the mathematics department; a razor blade, from the metallurgical and mining exhibit, is magnified 150 times to show how jagged its seemingly smooth edge; a mechanical television transmitter which will project the image of visitors on a screen, from the engineering physics department; and operation of a ramjet, airplane engine of the future, from the aeronautical engineer department.
From Fowler shops will come a 1951 model miniature engine lathe, a complete, precision instrument about the size of a lunch pail. Last year's demonstration of the pouring of grey iron will be repeated.
Petroleum engineering will offer a model drilling rig and full-sized pumping jack, which will be in operation at all times. Members of KU. Amateur Radio club will send reports of the Kansas Relays over the ham sets. Arabella and the Kiss-o-meter will return for the electrical engineering display.
Dinner For Non-Kansans
Puzzled by the letters W.T.H.A.-Y.D.O.H.L.K.? Those who haven't deciphered the meaning may find out by attending the dinner for out-of-state students and faculty members, at 6:15 p.m. Thursday in the Union Kansas room.
Reservations for the dinner, sponsored by Statewide Activities, may be made until Tuesday noon by calling Mary Lou Fischer, head of planning committee, at 3510.
Those attending are asked by the dinner committee to come dressed in an appropriate costume that will represent their home state, or to bring a symbol of their state.
John Ise, professor of economics will speak following the dinner. Allyn Browne, business senior, will be toastmaster. Entertainment will be given by Roger Butts, fine arts senior, and Joyce Ristine, fine arts freshman.
Men May Sign For Deferment Exam
Registration cards for the student deferment examinations will be available in the registrar's office, 122 Strong, beginning Tuesday morning.
"All men students between the ages of 19 and 26 should take the test," L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, said. "The information can then be in the hands of their draft boards when their cases come up for examination."
The tests are slated for Saturday, May 26; Saturday, June 16; and Saturday, June 30 at the University and in nearly 1,000 testing areas in the nation. Students who apply for the test must state where they will be on these dates.
Courts Reserved For Tennis Classes
Tennis courts at Illinois and 11th streets and those next to the stadium will be reserved for members of tennis classes four hours during the week, Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education, said.
The courts at Illinois and 11th streets will be reserved from 3 to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The stadium court will be occupied from 11 to 12 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and from 10 to 12 a.m. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Professor Shenk explained that classes have been switched from courts south of Robinson gymnasium, which are torn up. Students may use the courts any times they are not occupied by classes.
The examination schedule for the current semester and the University academic calendar for 1952-53 were announced today by James K. Hitt, registrar. The University senate adopted both.
Final examinations will be May 24-31 inclusive. No examinations are scheduled for Saturday, May 26, to permit all men students to take the national Selective Service tests for possible educational deferment. No examinations are scheduled for Sunday, May 27.
The calendar for 1952-53 places the University on a schedule about one week later than in 1951-52 or currently. Registration for the fall semester will begin on September 22 and new orientation is moved to the Wednesday of the previous week. Commencement will be June 8, 1953.
Because of the two-day interruption, the schedule is heavier with four examination periods each day except May 31 when there will be three. This will increase the possibility of a failure on one day. Hitt said, but such cases may petition for a change in schedule.
Finals Week Full This Term
The fall semester will have 92 days and the spring semester 90. The vacations will be five days at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas and one week at Easter.
Psychology Grant To K.U. Senior
Don K. Albert, College senior, has been named the first Beulah M. Morrison scholar in psychology at the University of Kansas. A senior majoring in psychology, he was selected by a faculty committee as outstanding among the undergraduate students in the department. The award is 550.

A delicate verbal spanking was administered to the University's debate team and the American way of life by two disarming Britons April 13.
British Students Square Off On The American Way Of Life, Fast Living
The Britons fired away at all the things foreigners usually find wrong with America and Americans—the fast pace of living, American complacency about their "heavenly" country, capitalism and materialism.
The president of the University of Lund will select the student. The stipend covers room, board, and all laboratory fees, but the student must pay traveling expenses.
Keith Wilson, third year law, and Lee Turner, second year law, admitted that the American system is not perfect, but contended that the American way of life is the best in the world today.
Scholarship Open At Swedish School
Wolfram is a member of Phi Mu Alpha, professional music fraternity. The public is invited to the recital.

Lyle Wolfrom, Cellist, To Give Recital Today
Lyle Wolfrom will be presented by the School of Fine Arts in his senior cello recital at 8 p.m. today in Strong hall auditorium. His accompanist will be Philip Hauser, education junior.
Speaking first for the British, Waterhouse told something of their trip over the United States since they arrived March 1. He said they had visited the Alamo "where so many British died defending Texas. After seeing the state, we decided they had died in vain."
Jack Ashley and Ronald Gough Waterhouse charmed the Fraser theater audience in upholding the question, Resolved, that this house regrets the American way of life.
The program will include "Sonata in F minor," (Marcello), "Concerto in A minor," (Saint-Saens), "Kol Nidrei," (Bruch), "Scherzo," (Von Goenens), "Le cygne," (Saint-Saens), "Tantella," (Squire).

from Waterhouse. Ashley and his "party of 10 or so" ended up playing "buzz."
"Waterhouse countered by saying, 'How pleased we are to be speaking at U.C.L.A.'
"Buzz." it seems, is a game of numbers. Ashley didn't reveal the intricacies of the game, but the loser has to "chug-a-lug" a bottle of beer. He lost eight times in 10 games. Ashley wasn't sure he wasn't so sure as to whether or not the "girls" intentions were "al-together the best."
Ashley added to, the evening's laughs with this story. When he asked why MacArthur was fired, this is the answer someone gave him, "I think it was because the general criticized Margaret's singing."
While being introduced at U.S.C. the speaker said, "two debaters from Oxford."

US Collectivism Due To Pressure, Eldridge Says
The development of collective enterprise in the United States has been due to the pressure of consumer and public interests, Seba Eldridge, professor of sociology, emphasized in a radio broadcast Sunday.
Dr. Erdridge, who spoke in the seies of sociology lectures on KLWN, said this discovery refutes the Marxian doctrine that a collective economy is established through action of the working class aimed at the overthrow of the capitalistic class.
"A field is socialized when it becomes evident to the public and its representatives that private enterprise cannot function in that field at all or at least not satisfactorily," he said. "It would be an immense gain if our public leaders, our policymaking officials in general, understood the significance of the facts indicated."
Dr. Eldridge pointed out that the American people are involved in an orderly process of co-operation, often without realizing it, in making institutions suit their changing needs. In totalitarian countries, he added, collectivization is imposed through force by a small minority; in democratic countries, collective enterprises are extended in accordance with the will of the people.
"We define collective enterprise as group or society-owned undertakings as contrasted with proprietary, partnership, or corporate concerns owned by specific individuals," he said. "Among the 10 fields collectivized for the most part are our military establishment, roads and streets, postal services, water and sewage works, land reclamation, education and research, libraries and museums, social work, and institutional care."
