String Quartet Here Nov. 12-13
—Beat OU—
The Hungarian String quartet will present the first two concerts of the University's chamber music series on Sunday, Nov. 12, and Monday, Nov. 13.
Several innovations are used by the quartet in their presentations. They group themselves in a shallow half circle rather than the orthodox square and use very low music stands, for better visibility both for the audience and for each other.
Steel strings instead of the traditional cat-gut are used because they are "more resistant to shock and hold the tune much longer."
Instruments for all members of the quartet are valuable and old. Szekely's violin was made in 1718 by Stradivarius. Alexandre Moskowsky's violin is a Guarnerius del Jesu made in 1738. Denes Koromzay's viola is guffriller, and the cello of Vilmos Palotai is a Garlo Berconzi.
Other members of the Chamber Music series will be the Graudans, a cello and piano duo; the Pasquier trio, and the Loewenguth string quartet. Season tickets are available at the fine arts office.
Traffic Cop Fined
Jackson, Mich (U.P.)—Capt. William Thompson, head of the police traffic bureau, was fined $1 for failing to drop a nickel in a parking meter.
GOP Has One Student Running For County Office
—Beat OU—
William Mahoney, second year law student, is the only member of the Young Republicans club at the University who is running for office in the November elections.
Bill, 25, is running for the office of clerk of the court in Wyandotte county and he's having to do his campaigning on a pretty slim budget.
Last December Bill married the former Alberta Cornwell. '47, and with the cost of financing his education and keeping himself and his wife fed, there's not much left over for advertising in political campaigns. There is also a baby due to arrive in December that has to be provided for.
By painting his own campaign signs Bill managed to save a bit of money and a friend who is a printer was kind enough to donate some campaign cards for distribution. Considering the lack of funds he seems to be doing remarkably well.
Bill comes from Kansas City and attended Rockhurst college in Kansas City, Mo., for a year before he went into the army in July 1943. In service until Nov. 1946, he saw action for 11 months straight, first in the Battle of the Bulge, then in the Rhineland, and finally in Czechoslovakia.
His outfit was the 99th infantry division, the first infantry division to cross the Rhine river. They crossed the famous river one and one-half days after the 9th armored division first made the crossing.
Speaking of Europe Bill said that he didn't get to see many of the famous cities on the continent, but that the country in central Europe, "with its many forests, looks like the Ozarks."
Asked why he was running for the Wyandotte county office he said, "I want to get to know the members of the bar in Kansas City, because that's where I intend to practice after I pass the bar examinations."
In 1948 he received his B.A. in English from K.U. and then entered the School of Law. At present in addition to studying law he is on

If elected, Bill plans to attend night school in Kansas City to complete his law training.
When asked what he thought of the national scene all Bill could answer was "I'm appalled at the situation."
Teachers' Bureau Serves Students
—Beat Oklahoma—
During its 47 years of service, the Teachers Appointment bureau has placed 8,514 people in teaching positions. During that time 23,589 people have registered with the bureau and 47,052 requests have been made for teachers.
"We consider our placement program one of the finest in the country," said Dean George B. Smith of the School of Education in commenting upon the services of Herbert E. Chandler, director of the bureau.
"The fine service that has been given to students in finding positions is a direct result of the superb knowledge of Kansas schools and placement problems held by Professor Chandler." Dean Smith said.
Before coming to the University as director of the bureau in 1928, Professor Chandler was superintendent of schools at Junction City.
possible. A better understanding of the community and school systems is very helpful for locating the proper teacher, he said. He found a KU. graduate in every county.
Each fall about this time enrollments for prospective teachers begin and continue until January. In February the first inquiries for administrative candidates come to the office. Requests for elementary and secondary teachers follow in March, April, and May.
By visiting the schools, he said, better placements have been made
Throughout the summer months until the opening of school Professor Chandler works to bring prospective teachers together with boards of education. In three years during the war he visited 212 schools in Kansas and 101 out of 105 counties. Only an automobile accident prevented him from visiting all the counties.
During the past 10 years the bureau enrolled 896 people wishing to teach music. This has been closely followed by 894 English registrants and 827 social science people. Other outstanding fields in order of rank have been education, home economics, administration, and science.
In 1949-50, 114 people registered as social science teachers, followed by English, men's physical education, administration, science, and education.
Professor Chandler said that an excess of registrants in social science and men's physical education existed during the past year.
The total number of vacancies listed during the school year of 1949-50 was 2,585. That is 121 less than the previous year. Professor Chandler believes that indicates that the supply of potential teachers is greater than it has been for the past several years.
The number of placements in 1949-50 was 227 with 32 in music and 32 in English. Twenty-nine people were placed in administrative positions; 28 in elementary teaching and 20 in social science. In Kansas, 169 teachers found positions, 56 are teaching in 19 other states and two are teaching in Japan.
The greatest number of requests during the past year was 529 calls for elementary teachers. Other requests were: 230 for music; 222 for English; 157 for home economics;
During the past school year the bureau needed more candidates in English, art, grade school music, home economics, women's physical education, and commerce. Demand and supply are about equal in mathematics and social science.
and 151 for science.
"A strong demand for elementary teachers exists," Professor Chandler said, "And it would seem that our new program of elementary training is being launched at a very favorable time. Our graduates in 1952 should have no trouble in finding good positions. The new state plan for allotment of state funds to elementary schools on the basis of teacher preparation will soon create a demand for better teachers."
Mr. Chandler said that about 150 calls for persons trained for other types of work came to the bureau during the last year.. These were referred to other departments of the University.
US Expanding A-Bomb Plants
—Beat OU—
Washington (U.P.)—Chairman Gordon Dean of the Atomic Emergency commission said today that A-bomb production is expanding "all along the line" and "you can be sure we are stronger than Russia."
Mr. Dean told a news conference that the commission is stepping up production and soon will be making a "much heavier" call on the nation's resources than it has so far.
Asked if American A-bomb stockpiling is at a higher rate than a year ago, Mr. Dean said:
"Much. You can be sure we are stronger than the Russians. But, 10, five or even one bomb in the hands of a man is not enough. It is too many for anybody to have."
Dean gave no details of our increased bomb production. But he said the commission expects soon to announce the site of a new plant which will produce explosives for the hydrogen super bomb. He said the new plant will be run by the E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co.
Mr. Dean also said the commission is "interested" in the disappearance of British atomic scientist Bruno Pontecorvo, reported to have sailed to Russia. Dean said Pontecorvo served with a British mission mission in this country in 1943, but only in a limited way. He did not know how much important A-bomb information Pontecorvo possessed, but had read a British statement to the effect that it was not much.
Clubs To Organize At Convention
—Beat Oklahoma—
The clubs, which are now separate episcopal student organizations on different campuses, will be united in a convention in Detroit Dec. 27, 19. 39
Plans for national organization of the Canterbury clubs were discussed at an informal reception for the Rev. Roger Blanchard held in the Union Friday by the local club.

The Rev. Mr. Blanchard, who is executive secretary of the college work division of the national council of the Episcopal church, told Canterbury members here of the study series the clubs will undertake after national affiliation.
The first study topic will be "The Christian and the World Crisis." It will deal with the theology of the Bible and its relation to the present world crisis.
'Two Little Lambs Lost Their Way—Bah, Bah, Bah!'
—Beat Oklahoma—
Two little lambs, who had quite obviously lost their way, visited the campus Sunday afternoon.
The buck was dragging a long chain that was fastened to a leather collar, so the students tied him to the iron rail on the steps of the journalism building. Then came the question they considered before they began chasing the animals—what to do with them?
Two students leaving the journalism building were astonished to see two sheep grazing on the plot of land before the building. Realizing that the capture of the wooly animals would be worth a small feature story, they chased the animals around in back of the building and after many attempts at cornering them, found that the buck would come if he was called and that the ewe would follow the buck.
The students called the Lawrence police department and asked if anyone had reported any sheep losses. The reply was negative, but the police promised to check with sheep owners in the area.
In the meantime it was found that the sheep were very partial to yellow chrysanthemums and would not eat lump sugar.
During the hours that followed the sheep were subjected to many indigities from passers-by. Some came over and patted the head of the buck, who was as gentle as the
Cadets Want Commissions
After much telephoning it was found that the animals came from the virus laboratory on the campus.
Earl Fowler, assistant instructor in bacteriology, said that the laboratory kept the sheep as a source of blood which was used in various tests made by the virus lab. Mr. Fowler said that the animals were Texas range sheep and that the ewe was the mother of the buck.
Other persons passing by made poor imitations of sheep noises at the animals and invariably after patting the buck's thick coat would say, "Oh! Just like a wool blanket."
Another onlooker was a man who was on the campus visiting his son. It seems that the man had beer raising sheep for some fifteen or twenty years and was able to make an estimate of the buck's age by looking at his teeth. The verdict--about 8 months old, with a little fattening just the right size for delicious mutton.
He thought the sheep had probably been let loose by prawns.
The cadets are: Maj. Douglas H. Haddock, College senior; Maj. James R. Selig, business senior; Lt. Curtis E. Adams, College staff; Staff Sgt. John E. Kipp, engineering senior; Joseph H. Mendenhall, College senior and Lieutenant in the Air Force reserve.
