ISA To Discuss Future Plans At Retreat
The L.S.A. council and ward officers will hold a joint retreat Saturday at Lone Star lake to plan for the 1950-51 school year activities of the group.
An expected group of 35 will discuss I.S.A. fall Orientation week plans, the social schedule for the coming year, and the National I.S.A convention to be held at the University in 1951.
The tentative schedule for Saturday's activities is: departure for Lone Star lake by University bus from the Union at 10 a.m. discussion of the relation of wards to the Council at 11 a.m., lunch at noon followed by recreation, planning of Orientation week activities and an I.S.A. informative booklet published for incoming students, 1:15 p.m.; an evaluation of the ward system at 2 p.m., and discussion of public relations in I.S.A. at 3 p.m. The group will leave by bus at 4 p.m. and return to the Union.
Accompanying the I.S.A. members will be Miss Margaret Habein and Miss Martha Peterson, dean and assistant dean of women: L. C Woodruff and Donald K. Alderson dean and assistant dean of men; and Miss Marjorie Austin, social director of dormitories.
Allyn Browne, vice-president, is in charge of picnic arrangements.

McEwen Gets Fellowship
William E. McEwen, assistant professor of chemistry has been chosen to receive part of an $80,000 grant recently made by the Research corporation of New York. Mr. McEwen will study in a field of organic chemistry.
The projects supported by the current grants range from studies on the toxic substances of locoweed at the University of Oklahoma to research on the magnetic field of the sun at the University of Chicago.
Since 1912, when the Research corporation was founded, the non-profit organization has distributed more than five million dollars for grants in aid of scientific research, generally in the fields of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering.
Two KU Students In Final Rounds
Every section of the country is represented at the tournament. Shearer and Stolenwerck have added new laurels to their credit not only by being chosen, but by successfully completing the first eight rounds.
The debate team of the University has successfully reached the final rounds at the West Point National Invitational Debate tournament. Edward Stollenwcrerk, College senior, and his partner, Kent Shearer, College junior, represented Kansas in competition with 33 other colleges and universities in the preliminary rounds of the tournament.
Among other colleges reaching the finals were Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Army.
Who Is 'Abigail'? Here's Fourth Clue

Lattimore Says Ex-Communist Is Paid Informer
He told a senate subcommittee investigating charges of communism in the state department that McCarthy had "criminally libelled" him in his charge that he was Russia's "top espionage agent" in the United States.
Washington, May 2—(U.P.)—Owen Lattimore charged today that excommunist Louis F. Budenz is a "paid informer and unscrupulous finger man" who brought charges against him for personal gain.
Lattimore in a long statement attacked Budenz, former managing editor of the communist Daily Worker. Budenz recently told the committee that he had been informed that Lattimore was a communist and had aided in selling to America the Red line for China.
Lattimore, a far eastern expert,
swore for a second time under oath that charges of communism brought against him by Budenz and Sen.
Joseph R. McCarthy, (R.-Wis.) were lies.
At the same time he charged that Budenz was a man of "unsavory character," who had been arrested, tried and acquitted 21 times. He also handed the committee the transcript of a deportation proceeding in U.S. courts which he said showed Budenz participating in certain personal activities which "to say the least, are offensive to accepted standards of decent and conventional behaviour."
This, Lattimore said, made him believe that Budenz "is dutifully pursuing his profession of paid informer and unscrupulous finger man."
Lattimore said Budenz, since leaving the communist party in 1945, engaged in "commercial exploitation" of his communist past and automatically came up with the new communist charges to fit day to day developments, Budenz now is a teacher at Fordham university.
"It is the easiest thing in the world for his own memory to be convenient and obliging." Lattimore said regarding Budenz.
Students' Opinions Vary On Name For Fieldhouse
Eugene Combs, engineering senior: "I would rather see only the name of Naismith on the fieldhouse, and was the father of basketball."
(Editor's note: This is the second in a weekly series of questions appearing in the University Daily Kansas pertaining to campus problems about which students may desire to express opinions.)
This week's question is: "Do you believe the fieldhouse soon to be built should be named Naismith-Allen fieldhouse?" The following answers were given:
Betty Yohe, education senior:
"Both men have been outstanding in the development of basketball. It is
Joseph Meek, College freshman: "I feel that when and if our new fieldhouse is ever built, it should be named for both Dr. Naismith and 'Phog' Allen. Dr. Naismith's name, naturally enough should appear on the new fieldhouse because he is the man who started the game of basketball and he did coach here. Dr. Allen's name should be included with Dr. Naismith's on the new building. He was recently named basketball's man of the year and he has the best long term record for basketball of any coach in the nation."
only proper that K.U. should honor them. This fieldhouse is largely the result of Dr. Allen's work and should be a lasting memorial to him. Since Dr. Naismith originated the game and was at K.U. several years he, too, should be honored."
Ray Pleasant, engineering junior: "I feel somewhat along the lines of the letter in the Kansan about naming the fieldhouse for persons living. (The letter opposed naming campus buildings for living persons.) I would, however be in favor of naming it for both Naismith and Allen, rather than one over the other. It's an honor that both men deserve. If it were to be named after Allen, I think Naismith should be included."
Frank Kress, fine arts sophomore:
"I think the name Naismith-Allen is appropriate, since Naismith was from the University and originated the game of basketball, and Allen furthered Naismith's efforts for so many years on this campus."
Banquet Honors Dean Swarthout
Ray Glover, education junior: "I would favor the name 'Naismith-Allen' because they are the two greatest names in basketball. Most people, however, don't know who Naismith was or what he was famous for while Allen is famous in this section of the country."
Culminating 27 years of service to the University, D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, was honored at the annual fine arts banquet Monday night in the Kansas room of the Union.
At the close of the entertainment; Dean Swarthout received a gold watch, luggage, a radio-phonograph and a set of long-playing records. The gifts were given by the University band and orchestra, the A Cappella choir, the University chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, professional music sorority, and the faculty of the School of Fine Arts.
Archie, the fine arts version of Hollywood's Oscar, was given by graduating seniors to the outstanding sophomore in art, Charles Rice. Archie is a black seal and was given to Rice as a seal of approval.
Pi Kappa Lambda awards to the outstanding music students in each class were given to Betty Hayward, senior; Jacquelyn Stoops, junior; Lois Bradfield and Delores Wunsch, sophomores; and Martha Heck, freshman.
Main speaker at the banquet was Rudolph Ganz, president of the Chicago Musical college. Also present were Alexander Tillotson, director of the Melvane Art museum at Washburn Municipal university, Topeka and J. B. Smith, director of the Nelson Art gallery in Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Ganz praised Dean Swarthout's work at the University highly. Mr. Smith commended the School of Fine Arts for the part it has played in setting patterns as a national leader in art and music fields.
Dean Swarthout, who was master of ceremonies, mentioned the presentation of great choral works, an increased faculty, and the University concert course as some of the programs carried out while he has been dean.
His greatest regret, Dean Swarthout said, was the legislature's failure to appropriate funds for a music building. He expressed confidence that it would eventually be built.
Between the first two courses of the dinner, recordings of two of Dean Swarthout's works, composed while he was a student at Leipzig, were played. They had been recorded by his daughter, Evelyn, a concert pianist.
Decorations in the Kansas room consisted of a mural showing Dean Swarthout directing the University A Cappella choir at one end, and a photo mural of the dean at the piano at the other end of the room. On the mirrors were large replicas of some of Dean Swarthout's musical compositions.
Entertainment was furnished by fine arts faculty members. Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin, led an ensemble in Haydn's "Toy Symphony." Reinhold Schmidt, associate professor of voice, sang "The College Professor's Nightmare," a parody on a Gilbert and Sullivan number.
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting, gave a humorous demonstration talk on the "Psychodynamics of Portrait Painting."
Elect Karen Stack To Hall Presidency
Karin Stack, College junior, will be president of Locksley hall for the 1950-51 school year.

Geologist Will Speak Thursday
Dr. Sherman A. Wenger of the University of New Mexico will lecture at the University Thursday evening May 4, on "Reef Sedimentation in the Majuro Atoll." Dr. Wengerd studied the Majuro atoll for the hydrographic office of the U.S. Navy during the war. His appearance here will be sponsored by the distinguished lecture committee of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
He will speak at 8 p.m. in Lindley auditorium.
2.000 Teacher Vacancies Noted
There are a few positions open in Japan, the Panama Canal zone, and Guam for experienced teachers. Under the Fulbright bill, a few persons with experience may teach in several foreign countries.
There is a greater demand for elementary school teachers this year than ever before. The University does not offer courses in elementary teaching but some graduates will be placed in such jobs.
Since notices for 2,000 vacancies have been received, and 1,000 more are expected by late July, all graduates of the School of Education can be placed, H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education, believes.
Commerce, women's physical education, English, and grade school music teachers are also wanted. There will not be enough candidates to fill those jobs, Mr. Chandler said. in science and mathematics, the supply and demand will be about equal. There is a surplus of teachers in social science and men's physical education, he added.
The teachers' placement bureau is not receiving as many calls for college teachers as in previous years, but the high school need is greater, Mr. Chandler said.
Other calls have been received for persons interested in work with the Campfire Girls, Boy Scouts, Y.W.C.A., and Y.M.C.A. Some of these positions are for the summer only, and others for permanent employment.
Chalmers Herman, instructor in Romance Languages was elected president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese at an annual meeting Saturday.
Instructor Elected ASTSP President
Other officers elected were Miss Jacquita Coe, Chanute Junior college, vice-president; Miss Irene Smith, Liberty Memorial High school, Lawrence, secretary-treasurer. The association met in conjunction with K.U.'s Cervantes day celebration.
Despite unfavorable weather the Miquel de Cervantes day luncheon attracted 225 persons, a record for more than 25 years of such celebrations. Students from the University and eight other high schools, junior and senior colleges presented songs, dances, and dramatic sketches in an all-Spanish program for the Cervantes day party in Strong auditorium.
