Required Annual To Be Voted Upon
A proposal to make purchase of the Jayhawker compulsory by including its price in the student activity fee will be voted upon by the student body in the spring elections.
William Howell, editor of the Javhawker, said the annual would sell for about $3 if purchase were made compulsory. Present high costs are caused by the difficulty of estimating how many students will purchase the magazine, Howell said.
Also on the ballot will be a proposal to change the Jayhawker from a four-issue magazine to one-issue book form. A committee appointed by the All Student Council to investigate the possibility of changing the form reported that the University is the only school of its size in the nation with a magazine type of annual.
If the bill to make the Jayhawker price a part of the activity fee is passed, the approval of the board of regents will have to be obtained. The bill to change the form of the Jayhawker requires only the approval of the student body, according to Warren Andreas, chairman of the committee.
Changing the annual from magazine to book form would not reduce the cost of the Jayhawkwer. Howell explained. It would make a greater continuity of content possible, however, and would aid the staff in obtaining more and better advertising, he said.
Other members of the committee were Patricia Cameron. College sophomore; Roger Davis, first year law student; William Wilson engineer, engineering sophomore; Damon Simpson, engineering junior; Karl Klooz, burser; Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, instructor in English; Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism.
Two hundred and sixty-five senior high school boys nominated by principals of 114 Kansas high schools, begin competing for the most valuable scholarships offered within the state, Monday, March 12.
Summerfield Tests Soon
The testing centers are Colby, Concordia, Parsons, Dodge City, Wichita and Lawrence.
They will meet in one of six testing centers to take preliminary examinations for Summerfield Scholarships. The scholarships vary in amount depending on an individual's need but are sufficient to assure a four-year course at K.U.
Engineers' Meeting At K.U. Saturday
The scholarships are supported by an annual $20,000 gift from the Solon Summerfield Foundation. Currently 41 Summerfield scholars are at the university.
One hundred and fifty persons
from Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
and Iowa are expected at the second
annual conference on Foundations
and Soil Mechanics at the
University Saturday.
From 35 to 40 boys will be asked to the K.U. campus for interviews and additional testing in early April. In the middle of May from 8 to 10 will be appointed Summerfield scholars.
The conference, sponsored by the civil engineering department of the School of Engineering and Architecture, will be held in Strong auditorium. Chancellor Deane W. Malott will greet the members at 10 am.
Justice Tells Of Law Careers
The responsibilities and opportunities for law students are greater today than they have been for 50 years, Justice Douglas L. Edmonds of the California supreme court told students at a School of Law convocation today.
"You must have vision, courage, determination, and a willingness to
JUSTICE DOUGLAS L. EDMONDS
look beyond horizons for the unusual thing to do," he said.
"It is remarkable we have any government at all," he said. "People do not bother to vote and do not know their public officials. It is the responsibility of the lawyer to assume community leadership and to educate the people of their responsibilities as citizens.
Justice Edmonds cited opportunities in the field of administrative, tax, and general practice of law. He said that unlimited opportunities are open in the small town and in the big city where business is looking for law trained men. Business wants lawyers because law trained men have the ability to think and to perform.
"Individual rights must be protected at all costs. We have come this far in America because the legal profession has been saying that individual rights come first. The lawyer must carry the banner of individual rights forward.
Fear 15 Killed In Sioux City Air Crash Today
Sioux City, Ia. — (U.P.) A midcomment DC-3 airliner carrying 25 persons erashed and burned while landing at the municipal airport during a snowstorm today and a company spokesman at Omaha issued a statement indicating that 15 were killed.
Bert Blackstock, Mid-Continent manager at Omaha, said there were "only 10 survivors, including a stewardess."
The Sioux City airport said that seven or eight persons had been taken to hospitals.
Sioux City police said they had an unconfirmed report that 16 persons were killed. The coroner was sent to the scene.
The airport control tower said the mid-section, wings and tail of the twin-motored plane burned. All city fire equipment and 11 ambulances were sent to the scene.
Airport officials said snow was falling when the plane crashed about 9:20 a.m. C.S.T. and visibility was "about a mile."
The plane flight No. 16, left Kansas City at 7:15 a.m. C.S.T. enroute to Minneapolis, with several stops scheduled. Dave Cochran of Sioux Airlines, a private flying service at the municipal field about 10 miles south of here, said he saw the plane circling the field with its wheels down minutes before the crash.
"It appeared to be coming in all right," Cochran said. "I noticed both engines were operating.
Then I heard a thud. I didn't see the actual crash. The plane hit about half a mile from the runway,
"It looked to me like the ground just came up too fast for the pilot. Visibility was bad."
Donations to send University foreign students to hear the Bethany college presentation of Handel's "Messiah" at Lindsborg, Kan., to Palm Sunday are being asked by the Kansas Commission for U.N.E.S.C.O.
Donations may be sent to Charles R. Satterfield, College junior, a member of the executive board of the Kansas Commission.
Seek Funds For Trip
Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College said:
"I hope it will be possible for a large number of our students from abroad to hear "The Messiah" at Lindsborg Sunday, March 18. The great music and the wonderful spirit of this community in the heart of America will probably make a lasting impression on our visiting students."
Tokyo (U.P.)—Tank-led U.S. marines in central Korea broke Chinese rear-guard resistance today, captured the road hub of Hoengsong without a fight, and pushed on to the north.

transferred to Southern Methodist university where he was graduated with his bachelor of arts degree in 1939.
He then attended the School of Theology at Southern Methodist university before transferring to Union Theological seminary, from which he received his bachelor of divinity degree in 1942.
He was a delegate to the North American Consultative conference on the World Mission of Christianity in Toronto, Canada, in 1839 and a delegate to the World conference of Christian Youth in Oslo, Norway, in 1947.
The annual Engineering Exposition will be held Friday, April 20. and Saturday, April 21. Under the leadership of William H. Stinson. engineering junior, plans for this year's exhibit are well along.
The Rev. Mr. Deats has had previous Religious Emphasis week experience at colleges and universities in Texas.
Eleven engineering departments, along with the mathematics and military science departments, are scheduled to take part in the exposition.
The mining and metallurgical department will exhibit an enlarged razor blade to show that its seemingly smooth edge is actually jagged. A model drilling rig and full-size pumping jack will be kept in constant operation by the petroleum engineering department.
The civil engineering department

Publicity for the exposition, which originated in 1922, is being directed by Ronald L. Wigington, engineering sophomore.
Then marines in tanks and afoot barrelled through abandoned, bombed-out Hoengsong, 35 miles south of the 38th parallel, and seized two hills to the northeast. Chinese rear guards defending the hills fled after a short skirmish.
Other UN forces on either side of the marines also chalked up gains of more than a mile along most of a 60-mile front on this second day of their resumed central Korean "killer offensive."
An 8th army communique reported that the South Korean 6th division took two heights five and seven miles west of Hoengsong, while the U.S. 2nd division to the east drove well-entrenched Reds from another hill seven miles west of Pangnim.
On the eastern flank of the assault front, U. S. and South Korean forces closing in on Changpyong drove within 27 to 30 miles of the 38th parallel against increasing North Korean resistance.
American, Canadian, and Australian forces on the western flank tightened their arc around the noman's-land town, Yongdu, 15 miles northwest of Hoengsong and 31 miles south of the old frontier between North and South Korea.
U. S. patrols on the western front also stepped up their activity. Americans of the 3rd division probed across the Han river into Seoul at three points during a snowstorm, one of them immediately south of the Red-held capital. All returned to the south bank of the Han. One patrol brought back three North Korean prisoners.
One Communist jet was shot down and another damaged by B-29 superfortresses in a running battle yesterday. Three more were damaged by American jets in a dogfight.*
The new Lawrence police and fire station at 8th and Vermont streets, will have a grand opening at 1 p.m. Sunday. Students and faculty are invited to tour the building, R. O. Burgert, councilman in charge, said today.
Police Station Opens Sunday
The old police station which stood on this spot had been a landmark for more than 80 years, and was once used for a courthouse. It was condemned and torn down in 1950, and three adjoining lots were bought by the city to extend the new $400,000 building from Kentucky to Vermont streets.
The building is now complete except for interior furnishings and landscaping.
The police station is on the first floor with office space for the police staff, and a club room which will be headquarters for veterans' organizations.
Fingerprint rooms, police court- room, a kitchen, and another club room are on the second floor.
The fire station at the west end of the building has a 63 foot tower where hoses will be hung.
A large banquet room is on the second floor; the city plans to rent it for assemblies. The dormitory and kitchen for the firemen are also on this floor.
A historical display room, featuring old documents, is planned for the basement. A recreation room, pistol range and armory will be located there.
