Memorial Campanile Foundation Laid
The underground cement foundation of the Memorial campanile has been virtually completed. The foundation, 30 feet deep, is resting on hard shale.
Immediately afterward, the Constant Construction company, Lawrence firm building the campanile, started digging with a power shovel.
Ground breaking ceremonies were held Jan 11, when Hugo T. Wedell, president of the University World War II Memorial Association, lifted the first shovelful of dirt from the construction site.
In spite of cold weather, construction of the foundation has proceeded at a rapid rate. In preparation for the tower, four workmen are already cutting and trimming Oread limestone near the site.
The campaign is being built in honor of the former students and alumni who served in World War II, especially those who died.
Enclosed in the 120 ft campanile tower will be a carillon of 50 bells, ranging in size from seven tos to 12 pounds. The instrument will cost approximately $78,000 including necessary equipment and installation.
Word received this week by Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the K. U. Alumni office, from John Taylor and Co. in England, builder of the carillon, indicated that the bells might be ready for use before the end of the 1951 school year.
Eight thousand persons up to date have contributed in gifts and pledges approximately $27,000. The largest campaign started in Dec. of 1945.
One thousand and eighty "bellringers" have contributed approximately $100 or more each.
The structure itself, not including the bells, will cost approximately $160,000. Construction of the Memorial drive, landscaping and other expenses will use up at least the remaining $90,000.
William H. Edgerton of Lawrence, who received his bachelor of science degree from the University of Connecticut in 1945, is the first man to complete the New Ph.D. program in pharmaceutical chemistry at KU.
New Degree Given Here
He had held a Parke, Davis and company fellowship for the past two years and has now accepted a position in the research department of a drug manufacturing firm in Detroit.
The new program was started in the fall of 1947 when Dr. Joseph H. Burckhalter, associate professor of pharmacy, joined the faculty. Interest in the program has grown rapidly. Next year more than $15,-000 will be available for fellowships in pharmaceutical chemistry, said Dr. J. H. Nelson, dean of the graduate school.
K. U. is one of the few schools in the country offering a Ph.D. degree in pharmaceutical chemistry, has ten students now doing work toward their doctorate degrees in the program.
In addition to at least four predoctoral fellowships being made possible through grants received from Parke, Davis & company and the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, the Research corporation and Parke, Davis and company will support two post-doctoral fellowships in pharmaceutical chemistry in 1950-'51.
Would Ministers Know?
Bristow, Okla.,—(U.P.)—From now on, drunk drivers arrested in Creek county must face a preacher before telling their story to the judge. *
The highway patrol said the drivers would be viewed by ministers to determine whether they are drunk or sick.

The ministers, in turn, will appear as volunteer witnesses against offenders found to be intoxicated.
