Prize Winning Picture Is Included In Exhibition Of 45 Photographs
A prize-winning photograph of a brass porch lamp is one of 45 photographs being exhibited on the third floor of Strong hall. The photographs were taken by Robert Rose, University photographer, and his wife.
The lamp print won second place at the Kansas Professional Photographers convention at Wichita this year. The brass parts of the lamp are finished in a copper toning. The wrinkled surface of the glass globe is shown in great detail.
A large train wheel showing every bolt the serial numbers on the wheel and oil dripping from the drive shaft won first place in the Topeka Camera club contest. The print was used on the "Kansas Engineer" cover.
"The Window," which won honorable mention this year at the Wichita convention, is on display. The photograph shows a window in which three sections of one pane are broken. In one pane is a reflection of the trees and sky. The other three sections are black. Streaks of rust from rusty nailheads are visible on the wooden wall surrounding the window.
A print, entitled "Danger," which shows a road lamp flickering in the darkness is being exhibited. Only dim outlines of rocks can be seen.
Mrs. Rose has photographed a curly-headed little girl, Terrie, in a starched, dotted Swiss pinafore.
"Crisis" is a portrait of a man with a glaze of weariness in his eyes, which indicates that he has exerted his every effort and is waiting for the results. His unkempt hair, hole "T" shirt, perspiration and unshaved face add to the effectiveness of the idea behind the picture.
On exhibition is a human interest print of a man relaxing in an easy chair with his feet propped on top of the Sunday newspapers atop a footstool.
"Christ," a portrait of a boy in a pensive mood, is on display. The light shining on his curly hair, revealing each strand of hair, shows the meticulous work of the photographer.
Eyes Of Humans Will Make Mistakes So Machine Checks Drugs For Flaws
a wagon wheel sticking out of the muddy water of a pond was photographed by Mr. Rose. Only four spokes remain attached to the axel. Part of the rim lies on the bank.
New York.—(U.P.)A new electronic "eye" is now being used to inspect medicine and keep out foreign substances that may injure health. The "eye" has proven far more effective than the human eye which can and does make mistakes.
The device, developed by scientists of Radio Corporation of America is being used primarily to determine foreign substances in tiny glass vials known as ampuls which contain insulin, morphine, and other drugs.
The new device uses a beam of light coming from a projection bulb. The ammals are fed into the machine
The Federal Food and Drug administration has strict regulations that the vials be free of particles, and up to now the drug manufacturers had to depend on human inspection.
Seniors Again Get Sheepskin Diplomas
light coming forth. The ampuls are fed into the machine and as they are exposed to the beam the ampuls are whirled. If there are no particles in the vial then the beam of light goes straight with no deflection. Such a straight beam of light operates a photo-electric tube which in turn operates a mechanism that passes along the vial as "accented."
The sheepskin diplomas which are traditionally given to graduating seniors at commencement will return to the campus this year.
However, if there is a particle—no matter how tiny—the light beam is deflected. It strikes another photoelectric tube and that tube sets off the mechanism that kicks out the vial as rejected. In a third process, the "eye" can call for a recheck. One device can test about 3,000 ampuls per hour. Eventually, the new "electronic eye" is expected to be standard equipment in all drug manufacturing laboratories.
The sheepskin, which is imported from England, was not available at the commencement exercises in 1947, so high quality parchment was used temporarily.
The eighth annual Sunflower Girl's State at the University will be June 11 through June 18, Mrs. Grace Bell of Perry, director, said today.
About 260 girls who are finishing their junior year in high school will attend, Mrs. Bell said. During the week the girls learn by holding elections for and organizing local, county and state governments with legislative, executive and judicial functions.
The University is one of the few schools which still gives graduates the 17 by 14 inch sheekskin.
The convention, a "laboratory in good citizenship," is sponsored by the Kansas department of the American Legion auxiliary.
Girls' State Dates Set For June 11-18
San Antonio Starts After Hollywood
Austin, Texas—(U.P.)-San Antonio may become the Hollywood of Texas.
The Texas secretary of state's office recently issued a charter to a motion picture company which plans to set up permanent studios at San Antonio and produce 26 full-length movies.
M. R. Armold will head the new company, incorporated at $1,000 as Atlas Motion Pictures & Television productions. Other incorporations were Henry S. Marasco and Kendall McClure.
Mr. Arnold said Jack Rabin, formerly of Los Angeles, would produce the company's first movie. Atlas releases will be distributed by Eagle-Lion, Republic and Film Classics, he said.

Mr. Rose has photographed an ola stone mill. Remnants of a dam can be seen. A skum-covered river flows in front of the mill.
Humboldt, Ia. (U.P.)—A plush coat won in an election bet when Lincoln became President is the pride of Frank Lewey Arnold, 84. Every Lincoln's Birthday, he shakes out the mothballs and wears the coat. Arnold was given the coat by his uncle, John Lewey Arnold, who served as consul to Russia under Lincoln. John Arnold won the coat in a bet that Lincoln would be chosen president.

"Old Faithful" is a picture of the back of an old-model car. The car has a broken tail light and a trunk without a top.
The photographs were taken for salon purposes. They have been exhibited in a salon in Topeka, Mr. Rose said. Most of the prints were taken with a 2.25 camera Kodak reflex. A few were shot with a larger camera.
Mr. Rose's work on the campus includes making slides for history courses and other courses, photographing architectural models, photographing student work in the art department, and other similar jobs.
Teachers' Workshop At KU June 7-17
The Association for Childhood Education will sponsor its fourth annual workshop for elementary school teachers at the University June 7 through 17, Dean George B. Smith of the school of education said today.
Former Student Receives Naval Aviator Commission
The short course will enable elementary teachers to make an intensive study of some subject of individual interest and to obtain an overall picture of elementary school topics. Two hours of graduate or undergraduate credit may be earned.
Jack Pearce Zimmerman, former K.U. student, has been commissioned a naval aviator in ceremonies at the Naval Air Station, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Ensign Zimmerman graduated from Topeka High school in 1943 and attended the University as a part of his naval training. After leaving here, he took pre-flight and basic-flight training at Pensacola, Fla., and multi-engined aircraft training at Corpus Christi.
