Law Students Elect Officers
Paul W. Nye, senior law student, was elected president of the senior law class recently. Other officers are Jacob H. Torbert, vice-president; Kenneth Harmon, secretary-treasurer; and Earle E. Brehmer, social chairman.
According to tradition, senior class officers carry canes and are the officers of the School of Law.
All of the Law school members of the senior class will sit together at football games and will carry canes in keeping with the custom which began at K.U. in 1910.
At that time, silver-headed canes were introduced as the emblem of law by Henry C. Hill, professor of law. Professor Hill found precedent in the professional schools of the larger universities in the East, which adopted some distinctive article of wearing apparel to distinguish its students from others.
The K.U. lawyers' tradition of sitting on the steps of Green hall, whistling and commenting on the passing students, dates back to Oct. 28, 1926. On that date, the faculty of the School of Law ruled that loitering on the Green hall steps was forbidden and the periods between law classes was shortened to five minutes.
The time rule was later appealed and revoked, again giving the lawyers 10 minutes to sit on the steps each hour.

India Is Starting To Rebuild Dr.S. Chowla Reports
"There is no doubt that India is starting to build up in spite of her recent bad start as a new world state," declared Dr. S. Chowla, visiting professor of mathematics.
The friendly, quiet-spoken man showed considerably more optimism about his country's social and economic conditions than he did
in an interview with the Daily Kansan while visiting the University a year ago.
"They are trying to modernize in every department of life. They are building machinery and sending many engineers to the United States to learn American techniques. They want to follow the same pattern of industry as is used here. Organizations like the Watermull foundation in Los Angeles, which was started by an Indian, send professors to India to teach the students there."
Dr. Chowla is familiar with Indian and British students, as well as those in America. He was professor of mathematics at the university at Lahore, India, for 11 years, after teaching at several other universities in that country. Following his earlier training in Indian schools, he went to England, where he received a doctorate from Trinity college, Cambridge.
"The Indian students are very serious. The first thing which visitors note is their extreme poverty, but there are many students, and a large number of them are women. In fact, in some schools in southern India the women out-number the men. However they still don't have the freedom they have here.
"The students in the big cities like Bombay and Calcutta are more like those here. They can go to theaters, museums and art exhibits. But those in small towns are quite different. There isn't campus life as there is here. Instead of belonging to clubs, which don't exist there, some of the students form groups to go out among the poor as social workers.
Soon after the outbreak of trouble in India in 1947, Dr. Chowla and his wife and daughter, now 15, came to the United States. He entered the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J., which is directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer, atomic physicist, to conduct research in the field of mathematics.
Dr. Chowla left the Institute early this month to come to Lawrence. Paromita, his daughter, entered K. U. as a freshman in pre-medicine this fall.
Guidance Counselors Attend KU Workshop
Thirty-five guidance counselors of northeastern Kansas high schools met at the Union Sept. 23 for a workshop supervised by guidance services of the Kansas state board for vocational education.

Schrader, guidance consultant for the California test bureau and former supervisor of guidance service in Kansas.
Counselors were greeted by George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education. Dr. A. H. Turney, University guidance bureau director, told the counselors of available campus facilities.
Ramon L. Charles, supervisor of guidance service in Kansas, concluded the workshop with a summary of the day's events.
