20,000 See New Devices At Exposition
More than 20,000 visitors attended the annual Engineering Architecture Exposition April 22 and April 23 at the University.
Eleven departments prepared the mechanical devices and exhibits for this 4.3 miles long exhibit.
the van der Graaf generator, atom smasher, sponsored by the physics department, was on display for the first time. This type of machine contributed much to the making of the atomic bomb.
A pipe organ made of beer bottles was a feature of the mechanical engineering department. The designer of the instrument was Thurston Cowgill, engineering senior. They also had displays showing time and motion studies, heat power machines, fuel testing apparatus, and mechanics of machinery.
The electric engineering department displayed a network analyzer, electronic control devices, short wave communications, television, and an electronic voting machine developed by the General Electric company.
The aeronautical engineering department displayed a model wind tunnel, helicopter, cut away engines, air plane designs, a jet airplane that was borrowed from Fort Riley, and a model ramJet.
A model water purification plant, a water clock, water conditioning equipment and models were the display features of the civil engineering department.
At the southwest corner of Lindley hall every hour a demonstration of perforating steel casing with bullets was a popular feature. The petroleum engineering department sponsored this attraction plus a model refinery, a model cable tool drilling rig, and an oil well pumping unit display.
the architecture department displayed works in design, free-hand drawings of model houses, and works in sculpturing.
The chemistry department showed a liquid air display, automatic temperature recorder, and a glassware display.
The engineering drawing department presented historical drawings, engineering drawing I, II, and III displays, and operation of the Ozalid machine.
The geology department exhibited a stereoscopic aerial photo, micropaleontology, mineralogy, sedimentation and well logging and shooting of an oil well.
A helicopter from Fort Riley flew over the University at intervals as part of the N.R.O.T.C. and R.O.T.C. display. A radar unit from there was also in operation during the exposition.
Helen L. Piller, was chosen president and Ann Learned, vice-president, by Torch chapter of Mortar board, national honorary society for senior women. Both are College juniors.
Mortar Board Elects Miss Piller
They were among the 14 University women initiated into Mortar board Sunday night at the home of Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Others initiated are: Josephine Stuckey, Louise Lambert, Doris J. Tthen, Edith E. Malott, and Mabel Conderman, College junior; Mary Helen Baker, E. Joyce Rohrer, fine arts junior; Grace J. Winner, Bernice L. Brady, Bernardine J. Read, and Peggy J. Baker, education junior; and Ruth Keller, journalism junior. Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, was initiated as an honorary member.
'Faust' Comes To Fraser Tonight
Part I of Johann von Goethe's play "Faust" will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
The University of Kansas City Playhouse is presenting the play which is sponsored at the University by the German, speech, and drama departments.
John Newfield, director of the University Playhouse is in charge of the production.
Spanish Group Elects de Osma
Jose M. de Osma, professor of Spanish, Saturday was elected president of the Kansas chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese at the Cervantes day meeting.
Miss Virginia D. Wely, Washburn university, was chosen vicepresident. Miss Irene Smith, Liberty Memorial high school, was re-elected secretary.
The Cervantes day celebration was the scene of a 25-year reunion for three University Spanish teachers and Dr. Concha Melendez, professor of Hispanic studies at the University of Puerto Rico. Dr. Melendez lectured Thursday night and appeared on the Cervantes day program on Saturday. The four professors last met in Spain in 1924.
Dr. W. C. Shoemaker, head of the romance languages department, just finished with undergraduate work at Princeton, had gone to Spain for first hand study Maude Maude Elliott, assistant professor of romance languages, had just received a master's degree from the University and was in Spain preparing for her first teaching assignment. Jose de Osma was then on the University faculty and conducting a summer European tour. Senorita Melendez was doing graduate study at that time.
Entomologists Get Bees And Have Blow-Out On Trip
Five-thousand wild bee specimens and a blown-out tire were results of a field trip to Texas made by Dr. Charles Michener and Dr. Raymond Beamer, professors of entomology, and their wives during spring vacation
Specific summer job openings and sources of information for employment in sections of the country available to all university women.
Associated Women Students will sponsor a summer jobs bureau in the A.W.S. office, 220 Frank Strong hall from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.
Jennings Demonstrates Fine Tone As His Recital Pleases Audience
The blown-out tire, called by Dr. Michener a natural event for all camping trips, occurred when the Micheners and Beamers were 70 miles from the nearest town. It necessitated a trip back to town to purchase a new tire.
By ANN ALLEN
A moment of tense silence then enthusiastic applause greeted "Fantasy in C major, Op. 17" as played by Eugene Jennings in his graduate piano recital Sunday in Frank Strong auditorium.
than the honey bee, but they also found examples of several new species which had never before been collected.
An adviser will be present to suggest types of jobs available, location, salary, working conditions, and qualifications.
Most of the collecting was done in the Big Bend National park and Corrizo Springs, Texas, Dr. Michener said. Park officials are so careful to preserve the wild life there that Dr. Beamer and Dr. Michener had to apply for permits even to collect insects. The type wild bee sought by them is solitary; it does not live in colonies or hives, but in the ground. The female dig a hole in the ground, lays eggs, and dies soon after.
AWS To Sponsor Summer Jobs Burea
The Beamers and Micheners camped out during the trip, with the wives doing all cooking. This is no new experience for Mrs. Beamer, who has been accompanying her husband and cooking on summer field trips for about 20 years. Mrs. Michener also has a degree in entomology.
The second movement of "Fantasy" (Beethoven) has an energetic rhythm, and a resonant melody line. Mr. Jennings' phrasing was exceptional in this selection.
The trip was made to collect Texas specimens of the wild bee, important in alfalfa and fruit tree pollination and of greater commercial importance than the honey bee, but they also $ \textcircled{1} $
"Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 14" (Mendelssohn) was made interesting through Mr. Jennings's interpretation. The selection is almost too familiar to have any entertainment value. Every note was brilliantly clear, and his playing furnished a pleasingly light, gay effect.
"Gigue" (Bach) was unusual due to the rapid finger movement it required. "Hunting Song" and "Venetian Boat Song" (Mendelssohn) were lighter than the rest of the program. These diverting melodies were very popular with the audience.
His touch and tone quality were unusually powerful. He also favorably impressed the audience with his poise on the stage and at the piano.

Foster Hall Gets Foster Portrait
A portrait of the late George O. Foster, registrar of the University from 1898 to 1942, was presented to the University by Mrs. Foster Sunday. The picture will hang in Foster hall, a dormitory for women
The artist who painted the Foster portrait was Mrs. Bernice Ackerman Lopes of Lawrence.
Foster died in October 1942, six months after retirement. He was 71 years old. Shortly after his death the University Endowment association purchased the building at 1200 Louisiana street for a men's residence hall and named it in honor of Mr. Foster. Since the war it has been used as a women's dormitory.
In 1891 Mr. Foster was associated with the University as a clerk and stenographer in the office of Chancellor F. H. Snow. In 1897 he became acting registrar and in 1898 became the official registrar of the University.
Sigma Kappa Wins Award
"Orchids to the K.U. 49'ers" was the theme of the winning float of the Relays parade. The float was sponsored by Sigma Kappa, social sorority.
The first place float in the men's division was sponsored by Delta Tau Delta, social fraternity.
Chi Omega and Alpha Omicron Pi placed second and third respectively in the men's division; and Kappa Sigma and Sigma Phi Epsilon won second and third in the men's division.
Delta Tau Delta was named first for grace and dignity. An enormous gold cup and four poised athletes exemplified the "K.U. Gold Rush."
Chi Omega, Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Kappa, and Sigma Phi Epsilon were chosen for wit, imagination and humor.
Crowds applaud as Chi Omega float, which placed second in the women's division, moves down Massachusetts street in the Relays parade.
Helicopter, Sun, Races, Win Fans At KU Relays
With the firing of an aerial bomb and the singing of the national anthem, the 24th annual Kansas Relays was underway April 23.
By DARELL NORRIS
More than 10,500 track fans sat through the four hour program and thrilled to the exciting leaps and dashes provided by the 800 junior college, college, and university athletes.
Diane Stryker reigned as queen of the RELays but she had considerable competition from "ol King Sol" throughout the afternoon. The fans, some almost as thinly clad as the athletes, soaked up the sun as if it were the last sun of summer, rather than a mid-April day of 75 degrees.
Even so strange a sight as an Army helicopter, which managed to grab its share of the fans' attention, could not take anything away from the thrill of the meet.
The meet would not have been complete without Glenn Cunningham, Kansas' great miler, who was there to present the trophy to the winner of the featured Cunningham Mile run.
It was Don Gehrmann, Wisconsin star, who managed a scorching last lap finish to whip 120 pounder Jerry Thompson and walk off with the trophy, a tie for the record, and a kiss from the queen for his day's performance. As the queen supplied the victor's kiss to Gehrmann, Cunningham, standing near by, remarked, "I knew I quit running a few years too soon."
It was not all together a home town crowd, but the biggest choos of the day were given when Jack Greenwood edged out a surprise who in the 120 high hurdles in :14.6, and the Kansas four-mile relay team won its event with room to spare
Hal Hinchee, Dave Breidenthal, Pat Bowers, and Bob Karnes proved they were out to get themselves a first place. Hinchee, Breidenthal and Bowers, ran fine mile races, but it was left up to the K.U. captain Karnes and his last lap sprint to insure the win. As Karnes cut loose on his fourth and final lap, he brought the entire crowd to its feet cheering
Robert Walters, blond Texas high jumper was chosen the meet's outstanding athlete on the basts of his unhaircaled leap of 6 feet, 8 3/12 inches. Few of the fans had heard of the Texan before the Relays.
Jim McConnell, Nebraska's alu-
lard around perform, stood the 15-
event grind of the decathlon to hea-
out Bill Terwilliger, Madison, Wis.
for the first place trophy. Smiling
Jim ran a dead heat with Terwilliger
in the final event, the 1,500 meter
run, to insure his victory. McConnell
piled up a total of 6,638 points
to 6,668 for Terwilliger.
Gold watches were awarded every first place winner and medals to the remainder of the men who placed in each event.
Delta Sigma Pi Hears How To Get And Hold Job
A college education isn't everything in getting and holding a job, Charles Stevenson, vice-president Business Policy and Finance Mo. told members of Delta Sigma Pi, professional business fraternity Thursday.
The ability to get along with people is a vitally important factor, he said.
Law Club Elects Officers
