Youths Will Swarm Hill In Summer Art Camp
Scores of aspiring young high school artists will swarm the campus between Thursday, June 30, and Sunday, July 31, sketching Fraser, doing oils of the "golden valley," and perhaps even making a few platonic drawings of the grass around Potter lake.
The School of Fine Arts is sponsoring an art camp in connection with
The School of Fine Arts is sponse the annual music camp, and is of offering specialized courses in five major fields of art, as well as orientation courses.
The entire art department of the University will be at the disposal of the art camp students. Regular teachers, heads of departments, and other instructors will devote part of their time to teaching in the camp.
High school students from a number of Middle Western states will attend for six weeks of intensive study.
The fee is $175, which includes everything except the student's art supplies. He will be expected to supply his own paints, brushes, pen, ink, paper, and other special equipment. Classes will be held in the regular studios.
Thorough study will be offered in commercial art, design, pottery, metal and jewelry, water color painting, and ceramic sculpture.
An orientation course is to be given which will include all the fields of art, with demonstrations, lectures, and field trips.
A special exhibition of original drawings and paintings for children's books will be given. Winslow Homer's original paintings will be featured.
Many excursions have been planned for the summer camp students. Trips will be made to Kansas City, Mo., to visit the Nelson Art gallery to see the murals of Thomas Hart Kenton, and to Topeka to the Mulvane Art gallery to see the John Stewart Curry murals at the state capitol.
Sketching trips will be made to nearby lakes and points of interest around Lawrence.
Bernard "Pooe" Frasier, sculptur-ist and director of the Philbrook Art center at Tulsa. Okla., will be with the camp for one week.
Franklin Gritts, Indian painter or Haskell Institute, will work with the students for two weeks.
Girls To March In Lantern Parade
An old tradition, The Lantern parade, will return today to the campus. Held annually before the war and discontinued in 1945, it will be revived this year under the sponsorship of the Y.W.C.A., Mary Ann Sawyer of the Campus Affairs committee announced.
The women are to meet at 9 p.m. in the Ballroom of the Union for refreshments. The parade will proceed from the Union to chancellor Deane W. Malott's residence. After screenading Chancellor and Mrs. Malott, the women will present Mrs. Malot with the traditional flower bouquet.
This will be the 29th time the parade has been held. Started as a method of acquainting freshman women with the campus and their upper classmen, the parade developed into a traditional affair similar to the Nightshirt parade for freshman men.
In case of rain, the novel serenade to the chancellor will be held in the Union building.
Ronald B. Stang, College freshman, was recently notified that he has been accepted for training at the United States Military academy at West Point, N.Y.
Stang Receives Appointment To U.S. Military Academy
"The fall term will begin in September after a thorough period of indoctrination of the new recruits." Stand said. "I entered the R.O.T.C. here so I could prepare myself for the Point if my appointment came through," he added.
Stand, whose home is Lacrosse,
was appointed to the academy by
Clifford R. Hope, fifth district
congressman. He took his entrance
examinations in March at Ft. Leavenworth,
and will enter basic training on July 1.
Aero Engineering Designers Aid Army; New Exhaust Won't Start Fires
What the army can't do the aeronautical engineering department can. Maybe this is, not always true, although in one instance it is.
Tests have been completed recently on a spark-arresting muffler for automotive engines by the aeronautical engineering department, which was a research project for the office of the Quartermaster General, U.S. Army.
John C. Brizendine, Jr., engineering senior, conducted many of the tests.
The project was started at the University during the summer of 1946 and the goal was to find a device for an automotive exhaust system which would make it impossible for a fire to originate from an exhaust outlet. The reason was the many army warehouse fires that originate from the exhaust of trucks.
Many commercial devices were treated and none found satisfactory, so the project was turned over to the University research foundation. William M. Simpson, professor of aeronautical engineering was placed in charge of the project for design and testing.
The department's design eliminated all sparches and flame and obtained 900 degrees cooling of exhaust gases within eight inches from the exhaust opening. Under tests of commercial designs conducted by the army the greatest degree of cooling was 450 degrees at six feet from the exhaust opening he explained. In contrast, practically no cooling at all is obtained with a regular muffler.
To facilitate the tests the army furnished the department with an engine of the type commonly used in medium trucks. Testing conditions were then set up that would produce a three foot backfire flame. This was more rigid than arm specifications called for. Simpson said.
Many firms are interested in obtaining commercial rights on the muffler, Professor Simpson said, and it will be a great aid to commercial and farm equipment which i. the past have been the cause of many fires.
Patent rights have been applied for, but as yet have not been obtained. Prof. Simpson added.
Tomorrow is the last day for students enrolled in Western Civilization to register for the final examination. Those who plan to take the test from 2 to 5:15 p.m. Saturday must sign cards in the registrar's office.
Must Sign Soon For Western Civ
"Students who wish to learn the results of the examination should bring a self addressed post card on Saturday," said Miss Louise Cochran, instructor of Western Civilization. "No grades will be out at the Western Civilization office."
College students completing their sophomore year are expected to take the test. The cards issued during registration are to be presented at the time of the examination.

Senate Asked To Speed Up Pact Hearings
Washington, May 9-(U.P.)Chairman Tom Connally of the senate foreign relations committee called today for a speed up in the Atlantic pact hearings in an effort to get a vote before the four-power conference on Germany.
The committee is believed certain to recommend senate ratification of the treaty.
The Texas Democrat expressed fear that prolonged hearings on the defense treaty might be "misunderstood and misrepresented by Russia." He said the U.S. position at the Paris parley, which opens two weeks from today, probably would be strengthened considered if committee gives the pact a hearty endorsement.
endorsed.
Connally said he hoped to wind up hearings on the pact this week. Labor Day, John J. Sparkman, D.A., said the administration had better get behind labor legislation based on the so-called Sims bill which the house voted down last week. He said he feels the Sims measure is the "best possible compromise" between the administration and the Republican-Southern democratic coalition.

Taxes — Chairman Walter F.
George of the Senate finance committee said higher taxes might increase the anticipated government deficit for fiscal 1950, instead of wiping it out as President Truman has indicated. The Georgia Democrat said a deficit might result from a drop in government revenues reflecting a decline in business activity.
Military Pay: A house armed services subcommittee, working on a proposed pay raise for servicemen, says it has "no apology" to make for not recommending an increase for the lowest-ranking enlisted man. The committee said that since 1908, when military pay scales were last overhauled, the lowest-ranking GI has had his pay boosted 400 per cent while the general has gotten an increase of only 10 per cent.
Social Security; Sen. Hugh Butler, (R. Neb.) said a survey of 6,000 concerns shows businessmen almost evenly split on the question of extending social security coverage to persons now excluded. He said 47 per cent favored extension of old age and unemployment compensation benefits while 53 per cent were against it. The same group voted heavily against a system of compulsory health insurance.
AWS Is Guiding Light For University Women
By EMILY STEWART
Never underestimate the power of a woman? But when 2,500 women band together, especially if they call themselves Associated Women students, it's worthwhile to see just what is happening to the women on the University campus.
For nearly three years, almost all projects of any magnitude which have concerned women. Basically, A.W.S. is the governing body of University women. The senate, elected by all women, legislates concerning everything from closing hours to serenades. The house of representatives, composed of one representative from each organized house, reports the activities of A.W.S. to the women they represent. Actually, however, it is more important than merely "rules and regulations." It is an experiment in a type of education not to be found in the University classroom.
For nearly three years, the letters A.W.S. have been associated with a magnitude of
Under A.W.S. training, women are being developed into leaders and responsible citizens. The organization sponsors such campus activities as the Careers conference which brings outstanding and successful women to the University to speak on their careers and advise students in those fields. A.W.S. feels that such
programs in conjunction with this conference as the Leadership workshop which gives training in organizational mechanics as well as theories of leadership are invaluable to University women.
The aim of Associated Women students is to aid and promote, not to compete with other campus activities. It was established in the spring of 1947 as a result of joint meetings of the Women's Executive committee, a small organization composed of the women on the Student Council, and the United Women's council, a group representative of women's organized houses.
Through the encouragement and assistance of both faculty and students, A.W.S. has developed into the largest, most active organization at the University.
