IFC Will Vote On Train Date And Rush Week
Two new rushing proposals will be voted upon at a meeting of the Inter- Fraternity council Monday, April 3.
The first proposal calls for advancing rush week two days so that rushing will not interfere with the aptitude and psychological tests that are given in the first few days of rushing. The second plan would require all train dates to be held in Douglas county. Any fraternity that would violate this would be subject to a fine of $100.
The purpose of the train date plan is to cut the expense on the fraternities. Warren Weaver, rushing chairman for the L.F.C., proposed the two plans as a meeting of the council and 27 fraternity officers have gathered the opinions of their respective fraternities on the new system.
At the March 27 meeting it was decided not to support an interfraternity sign, as only nine fraternities said they would be in favor or would support it. The InterFraternity council had decided to ban serenades, and have an interfraternity sing in their place.
Dale Helmers and Charles Hall will leave for Boulden, Colo., Thursday, April 6. to attend the Central States Inter-Fraternity conference. This conference will be similar to the one held at K.U. in 1949. Fraternity management, scholarship, rushing, and many other problems will be discussed at the meeting.
The annual Inter-Fraternity coun-cil "stag" will be held tonight at the Eldridge hotel.
Service Sunday At Sunrise
A Palm Sunday Sunrise service will be held at 6 a.m. in Danforth chapel by the Westminster fellowship, a Presbyterian student group.

Museum Shows Valued Painting
'Revue' Tickets On Sale Now
It was painted by the Austrian baroque painter, M. F. Kremser-Schmidt. This picture was in the great Vienna private collection of the banker, Oscar Bondy. The painting is one of Bondy's treasures which was seized by Hitler's agents for his proposed museum in Linz. It was recovered by the American army from the salt mine.
An oil painting, "Crucifixion," that was hidden by Hitler in a German salt mine during World War II is one of the new possessions now being displayed in the University Museum of Art.
Tickets for the "Rock Chalk Revue" to be held 7:30 p. m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium may be obtained in Strong hall, the Student Union and in Watson library. Tickets are 50 cents and the show is open to everyone.
The canvas still had traces of salt drippings on the varnish when it was purchased. Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum, said, "this picture is the only one by this rare Austrian painter in an American public collection."
Yvonne Josserand, journalism senior, is shown listening to a radio telephone in a car belonging to the St. Louis Star-Times. Leaning on the car door is Miss Maryanna Myers, a student from the University of Missouri.
Miss Josserand and Louis Sciortino, also a senior in journalism, were guests this week of the advertising club of St. Louis.
The students, chosen as being outstanding on the basis of achievement and promise in advertising work, visited newspapers, radio stations, advertising agencies, and department stores. They heard talks and panel discussions by advertising leaders. Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, and John Malone, instructor in journalism, accompanied the pair on their trip.
A Chapel 'For Wisdom And Courage'
Danforth chapel was dedicated on April 2, 1946. "to give wisdom, strength, and courage to those who seek respite there." The picturesque sanctuary does more than that. It is a symbol of what determination and interest can do on our University campus.
Four years ago Sunday, the quaint church was accepted on behalf of the state by Andrew F. Schopeppel, then governor of Kansas, at an all-student convocation. At that dedication Kerneth I. Brown, president of Denison university in Granville, Ohio, made the address, "Credo," a number by Gretchaninoff, was sung by the A Capella choir.
William H. Danforth, chairman of the board of the Ralston Purina company in St. Louis, made the initial gift toward building the chapel. He and Mrs. Danforth also recently gave a marble baptismal font. The name of John T. Stewart of Wellington appears as a contributor on the cover of this book, the chapel. The electric organ was presented by Mr. A. B. Weaver of Lawrence as a tribute to his father, Mr. A. D. Weaver.
Edward Tanner, head architect for the J. C. Nichols company in Kansas City, Mo., designed the quiet retreat as a memorial to his mother, Mrs. Harriet Tanner, Mr. Tanner was the first graduate of the University's architecture department.
"Christ at Gethsemane", a copy in oils of a painting by Hoffmann was donated for the church by the Clarence H. Poindexter family. The original painting was stolen from the chapel on Feb. 15, 1949. The frame alone was found in the rear of the church a few days later. Mr. Danforth arranged for a duplicate copy of the work, and the insurance company paid the University $500 for replacement. "Christ at Gethsemane" may now be seen in the foyer of the sanctuary.
Faculty members, too, contributed to the building of the peaceful shelter. In May, 1945, they presented $686 to the building fund. Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, headed the committee to raise money.
University students went all out to do their part in the fund-raising campaigns. Proceeds from a dance
in April, 1945, sponsored by Student Union activities were contributed for building construction. The University Pan-Hellenic council donated $2,000 to provide the chapel's stained glass windows. Christmas caroling at each organized house in December, 1945 was sponsored by the A.S.C. to secure money. The Home Economics club made a gift of the cross, candlesticks, and flower vases. The Kansas University Endowment association presented funds from the Elizabeth M. Watkins estate.
The Presidents' breakfast scheduled for Saturday will not be held, Marjorie Crane, secretary of Student Union activities, announced.
Dean Leonard H. Axe contributed to Danforth chapel. On a road about two miles south of U.S. highway 40 between Topeka and Lawrence he discovered a stone fence of native limestone which led to the finding of rock for chapel construction. The University purchased both the fence and land from which the rock was derived. German war prisoners helped to excavate the site of limestone. Dean Axe was at this time director of University services.
A contest for the best design of a bookplate for chapel hymns was won in April, 1947 by Donald Ivan Kane, fine arts sophomore. Mr Kane is now an instructor of design at the University of Texas at Austin, stained-glass window in an arch which framed a cross, was used in more than 300 hymnals.
SUA Breakfast Is Postponed
The chapel is open day and night. The Danforth chapel date book, in the care of the Registrar's office, lists reservations made by certain campus
groups. I.V.C.F. holds prayer meetings in the chapel Monday through Thursday at 12 noon and 12:30 p.m.

No date has been set for the next Presidents' breakfast.
Danforth chapel has been the scene of more than 350 weddings in four years. The first wedding was held on March 20, 1946, two weeks before the formal dedication and just before the carpet was laid. The chapel averages approximately 79 weddings each year; but rice throwing is especially prevalent in June. The first baptismal service was in April, 1947. The granddaughter of M. Tanner, designer of the chapel, was among the first babies to be christened there. The child, Sandra Baer, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baer. Mr. Baer is an instructor in engineering drawing at the University.
Albeneri Trio To End Series
The rustic stone chapel was made possible through the combined efforts of Mr. Danforth, faculty, students, and various donors. It stands as a tribute to the endeavors and success of these persons.
The Albenieri trio, an internationally famous group, will present the final concerts in the University Chamber Music series at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, and Wednesday, April 5, in Strong auditorium.
