Engineering School Gets Stanolind Fellowship
4 Clington advocates no payment for rooms engaged at the Union. He feels that the students should be able to use the Union's facilities more reely because of the payment of the $5.00 fee which is required of each student.
The Stanolind company for three years has awarded a similar fellowship to a graduate student in chemistry at the University. Walter E. Conrad, graduate student in chemistry, currently holds the fellowship. He has been doing research on the reaction of hydrazic acid with olefines under the supervision of Dr. Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry.
The fellowship in addition to its value of $1,250 will also cover tuition and laboratory fees, explained T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering. It will be awarded to a student considered most worthy of scholastic aid and best able to carry on advanced study in mechanical engineering.
The University Daily Kansan was incorrect in an article printed Monday that said the fellowship for $1,250 had already been awarded to a graduate student for the 1950-51 school year. The Kansan regrets making the error.
This is the first time that the Stanolind Oil and Gas company is giving the University a fellowship in mechanical engineering, and the only fellowship in this field being awarded to a school for the next school year, Dean Carr said.
3 Instead of having dance bands on the campus for concerts, the Pac-hacamac party hopes to bring name bands in for dancing as well.
John A. Poje, '37, Kansas City, Kan., who has completed the requirements for a Ph.D. degree, held Stanoloid graduate fellowship in chemistry the first two years it was awarded. Mr. Poje was a Summerfield scholar.

WILMA SHORE

She has served on the finance, social, elections, and smoking committees. She is on the Union Operating board and its board of directors, the University calendar committee, the convocations and lectures committee, the freshman week committee, and the University lecture course committee.
In Miss Shore's program, she has included five points upon which she is asking to be elected.
1. Miss Shore said that she believed in direct contact with as many large active campus organizations as possible. Therefore, she is strongly opposed to the proposed amendment to do away with the organizational representatives.
2. Although she received a salary under the present A.S.C. salary plan, she said she was opposed to it, and if elected, would ask the Council to abolish salaries.
4. The powers of the Council are limited, she says, because the powers that have been delegated to it have not been properly utilized in the past.
5. Miss Shore said that she would attempt to bring student government nearer to the student by encouraging student attendance and participation in the Council meeting.
