Ambitious, Lively Jane Schmidt Makes Comeback After Accident
Undaunted by critical injuries received in an automobile accident in 1947, Jane Schmidt, College junior, is an ambitious, energetic young woman with a formidable "ten-year plan."
She would like to earn a master's degree and teach; be a librarian on an ocean liner; live in Paris and write; be a beachcomber; marry a teacher, live on a farm and have five children.
"I would settle for any one of these things, since I probably won't have time for all of them." Jane laughingly admitted.
Miss Jane Schmidt
Jane's college career was interrupted during her first year at the University when she was involved in an auto collision while returning from a football game in Kansas City, Mo. The broken back, fractured skull, and consequent amnesia she suffered kept her in the hospital four months and forced her to drop out of school that semester.
Not content with being an honor student, Jane has divided her time among eight organizations at the University. As a member of University players, she was in "Bury the Dead" and assisted with the make-up and costumes of several dramatic and Opera guild productions.
Born on a train in western Kansas in April, 1929. Jane has had the urge to travel ever since. She lived in Bartlesville, OKa, where she attended Bartlesville Junior college, until her parents moved to Houston, Texas, two years ago. Her parents, who are K.U. alumni, had a "slight influence" on her decision to attend the University, Jane said.
Her newest endeavor in the dramatic field is that of directing a one-act melodrama in blank verse, which she has written. She also is directing a "Rockchalk Revue" skit for her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Jane is president of Quill club and editor of Trend, the club's magazine, and a member of the editorial board of Upstream, student liberal publication. She belongs to International club, C.O.R.E., and Le Circle Français.
Of academic life, this soft-spoken English major said, "A university is a fine little world and I can't think of any place I'd rather be."

C.A. executive board Wednesday are: Helen Maduros, president; Susan Manovill, secretary; Helene Steinbuckel, treasurer; Jane Baker, district representative, all College sophomores, Sue Ihinger, College sophimore, and Patsy Cameron, College junior, student religious council; Natalie Logan, education junior, all Student Council representative.

Roger Beth Awarded Gold Scholarship Key
A gold scholarship key—awarded by the grand chapter of Sigma Pi, social fraternity, has been won by Roger T. Beth, member of the Kansas colony at 1218 Mississippi street.
