The annual engineer's banquet will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. It will honor engineering seniors.
The engineering council has made
The engineering council has made for an election of an engineer- physics representative on the council. The election will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Blake hall. All engineering physics students may vote.
The Engineering exposition will be held Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22, in conjunction with the K.U. relays.
Spectators will be routed through the exposition so that each person can see the entire show. The entrance arch to the exposition will be built in front of Marvin hall. The engineering council wants the exposition held open for guests on Sunday afternoon, April 23, but final plans haven't been made.
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering, explained to the council that months of planning have gone into this year's exposition.
"Student participation in this event has the unique opportunity of developing imagination, exercising initiative, gaining experience in administrative work teaching one to get along with those students and gain knowledge in their profession" Dean Carr said.
These are qualities which command attention by company representatives interviewing for job opportunities. In order to present this fact, the dean's office will make a record of each student's participation on the back of the student's transcript, he said.
Past expositions have shown displays of student work and have acquainted the public with the purpose of the school's program. Many types of work have been shown to the public and have attracted much attention in the engineering world.

Eight Die In Plane Accidents
By United Press
Eight persons died in airplane accidents and mishaps over the weekend, and rescues pressed searches today for two planes missing with a total of 53 persons aboard.
A twin-engine plane carrying material for the Atomic Energy commission rammed into a New Mexico mesa, killing three persons. Three persons were killed when a light plane crashed and burned shortly after a takeoff from the Fort Bragg, Calif. airport.
The body of a private pilot washed ashore from San Francisco bay, where his craft apparently crashed while on a flight from Oakland to Monterey, Calif. Searchers hunted along the shores of Long Island for the body of steward John Harris, who was swept out of a Pan-American World Airways stratocrusier as it neared New York on a flight from London.
For the third day, Navy planes and Coast Guard boats searched the Gulf of Mexico for a twin-engine Navy flying boat that vanished Friday with nine men aboard. The search was spurred by knowledge that the craft might still be afloat and its occupants safe.
The search for a C-54 transport, which disappeared Jan. 26 on a flight from Anchorage, Alaska, to Great Falls, Mont., with 44 passengers, morpularly
race along the British Columbia coast and at certain inland points. They mustered the additions after a few S.O.S. signals Feb. 10 aroused hopes the C-54's occupants might be alive.
A four-engine Fan-American Constellation with 30 passengers aboard made an emergency landing at Boston yesterday with one engine dead. The pilot feathered the right starboard engine when a firealarm warning light flashed on the instrument panel. Then he dumped 2,500 gallons of fuel into the Atlantic. The plane resumed its flight after a short circuit was repaired.
A B-36 air force bomber carrying 16 crewmen was forced down by trousers from McChord Air Force bomber near Tacoma, Wash. No one was injured.
Professor To Address Radio Engineers
Chai Yeh, visiting professor of electrical engineering, will speak before the Kansas City section of the Institute of Radio Engineers at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the University of Kansas City Dental building, Kansas City, Mo. His subject will be "The Interaction of Electrons and Electromagnetic Fields in Mulicavity Magnetrons."
Dr. Yeh received his doctor of philosophy degree in 1936 from Harvard university where he also did research for the navy. He spent many years at the National Tsing Hua university in China and came to the University of Kansas in September, 1948.
"Many of the seats were filled when the team arrived in Hoch auditorium at 8:50 p.m. yet no organized cheering took place for another 25 minutes." Dr. Allen said.
"The cheer leading program and leadership was sickening during the football season. And, it is no better now.
"All year long the cheerleaders have operated on a 'hit and miss' schedule with no planning. It certainly is not the fault of the student body, but it is the lack of imaginative planning on the part of the cheerleaders, who are directly responsible for their own program.
"Had it not been for the help and inspiration of the downtown quarterback organization last fall in stimulating school and community spirit, we would have hit the bottom." Dr. Allen stated.
Fraternity pledges may now count Western Civilization as two hours credit toward initiation requirements.
The team comes onto the floor at 6:50 p.m. and leaves for their dressing room for last minute instructions ten minutes before game time.
"What we need." Dr. Allen said, "is to cut out the politics and get some real cheerleaders who will arrive early enough at athletic contests and have the vision to outline a series of mass meetings that will attract the students to them."
Dr. Allen said that the new low in cheer leading "hit the bottom" in the Kansas-Nebraska basketball game when the cheerleaders' group showed up just 15 minutes before game time.
"The students on the stage started their own impromptu cheering long before the cheerleaders showed up on the floor and organized cheered." Dr. Allen added.
All moral support given the team during this 30-minute warm up period in the form of organized cheering is greatly appreciated by the team and helps in winning games. This pre-game cheering inspires the players and gives them added incentive to win, said Dr. Allen.
The Inter-Fraternity council agreed recently that since Western Civilization is a requirement in several schools of the University, it should apply immediately toward initiation of the pledges.
WesternCivToCount For Greek Initiations
The ruling now is that a pledge may take 10 hours and count Western Civilization as the extra two hours needed to total the required 12 hours. A 1.0 grade average still must be obtained for the fraternity initiation.
