Statewide Activities Plans All-Student Convocation
The Statewide Activities has planned an all-student convocation for October or November so that students may meet with their county clubs to get acquainted. Each county club will meet in a different room.
The purpose of Statewide Activities is to inform interested persons what K.U. is like from a student's viewpoint. It is similar to a "student chamber of commerce." This year, due to the drop in enrollment, there is a greater need to strengthen good will for the University throughout the state and nation.
Many of the county committees do not have chairmen yet, but temporary chairmen will be chosen next week at a joint meeting of Sachem, Mortar board, F re d Ellsworth, alumni secretary, Tom Yoe, public relations director, and representatives from Statewide Activities the committee for answering inquiring students, has been added to the organization. It will work with the registrar's office and write letters to prospective students. The committee will also answer any questions that new students may ask.
The organization plans to send copies of the Jayhawker to every high school in the state. The past year 296 annuals were sent to Kansas high schools, but the Jayhawkers to high school committee plans to send a larger number this year. The cost of the magazines will be shared by Statewide Activities and the University.
The organization will continue the same as the past year with a special interest in abolishing the idea that K.U. is a play school.
Officers of the organization are:
Don Porter, College junior, general chairman; Mary Williams, College senior, assistant chairman; Helene Steinbuchen, general secretary, and Charles Henson, general treasurer,
College juniors.
Committee chairmen are: Charles Hyer, education sophomore, student relations; Allyn Browne, College senior, newspaper correspondence; Miss Steinbuchel, secretarial staff; Tenn Rattner, College junior, county clubs; Dave Harner, business senior, poster board; Jane Heywood, College sophomore, answering inquiring students.

LARGEST BELL to be placed in the Memorial campanile is pictured above, dedicated to Olin Templin, former secretary of the University Endowment association and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who died March 4, 1943.
of Liberal Arts and Sciences who The bell weighs 14,340 pounds. It is 6 feet,9 inches high and 7 feet,2 inches wide. The workman standing beside it illustrates its size.
Work on the World War II Memorial campanile should be completed early next year, Fred Ellsworth, Alumni association secretary, said today.
Campanile To Be Finished By Early Next Year
The actual work started on the campanile Jan. 11 when Hugo T. Wedell, president of the University Memorial association, turned the first shovelful of earth.
The wooden scaffolding surrounding the tower should be down by Homecoming, he added.
Since then, work has proceeded at a steady pace. By Feb. 15 the 30-foot deep foundation was almost completed. While this was being done workmen were cutting and trimming Oread limestone for the outside facing of the structure.
By March 21 the skeleton elevator was 65 feet tall and the concrete inner structure 30 feet above ground.
The corner stone was laid for the campanile June 4. Chancellor Deane W. Malotty, members of the executive committee of the University Memorial association, and the architects of the structure were present at the brief ceremony.
A box, 12 inches square and 5 inches deep, was sealed in the stone. The box contained several issues of the University Daily Kansan and other material of current times.
The campanile now stands at its full height, 120 feet. There is still some stone facing to be placed on the tower as this work was delayed when the workmen ran out of stone. The supply has been replenished and the work is continuing.
The memorial is in honor of the former students and alumni who fought in World War II and for those who died in the war.

More than 8,000 persons have contributed to the memorial fund. "Bellringers," contributors of $100 or more, number over 1,000. Names of "Bellringers" will be inscribed in the Memorial room of the campanile.
