Scholarship Given Engineering Senior
Dean D. Kerr, engineering senior, has been awarded the spring semester $375 Kennectoff Copper corporation scholarship, K. E. Rose, chairman of the mining and metallurgical department, said recently.
This scholarship is awarded annually on the basis of scholastic ability and to encourage and stimulate students in mining engineering. Usually this is a $750 scholarship, but this year it was divided between Kerr and Dorman S. O'Leary, who graduated at the close of the fall semester. Students at 10 colleges and universities throughout the country receive this scholarship.
The Kennecott Copper corporation is one of three largest in the world and originated this scholarship as the demand for mining engineers greatly exceeds the number of students graduating. Few were trained during the war, and because comparatively few schools offer mining engineering, there have been few graduates.
Nothing Like Changing Your Mind In A Horse Race

The horse won and paid more than ten to one. The clergyman said he himself switched his bet to another horse at the last minute.

Elizabeth Webster, business senior, and Bennett were appointed to determine approximate cost of office equipment for the Council. In the opinion of Pat Thiessen, president, the A.S.C. could be more active and accomplish more if office space were provided. The council agreed. Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, promised to provide room if the Council would furnish supplies.
A motion by Bennett for appointment of an executive council to meet with Chancellor Malott once a month to discuss student problems was approved by the Council. Thiessen will appoint the council members at the next A.S.C. meeting.
Thiessen criticised space given to the A.S.C. meetings by the Daily Kansan. He requested more publicity be given to the Council to tell students what the organization is doing. Billy Mayer, managing editor of the Kansan, explained to the group why a complete report of the Council meetings has not been published by the Kansan. Lack of space is the reason, he said.
A suggestion by Dorothy Scroggy, A.S.C. secretary, for distribution of a mimeographed report of Council meetings to students by use of Kansan boxes will be considered by the legislature at a later meeting.
The Engineering Exposition was granted $450 by the student council. Other requests and appeals will be heard at the next A.S.C. meeting. Bennett reported a balance of $915 in A.S.C. funds in addition to appropriations approved by the finance committee but not the Council.
Miss Webster was requested to

How Modern can Jazz get?
Listen to Skitch Henderson's latest waxing of "CRAZY RHYTHM"—a Capitol Recording . . . and you'll know the answer!
One of the hottest of the oldies, "Crazy Rhythm", comes back with a sock, the way Skitch and his band revive it! Skitch Henderson is great at putting a smooth-modern touch on an old favorite. And when it comes to cigarettes, Skitch has another long-time favorite-Camels! Here's how Skitch plays it: "Camels are mild and full flavored. I've smoked Camels for years."
How Mild can a cigarette be?
SMOKE CAMELS FOR 30 DAYS
In a recent coast-to-coast test of hundreds of men and women who smoked only Camels for 30 days—an average of one to two packs a day—noted throat specialists, after making weekly examinations, reported

It's real harmony when Skitch Henderson and lovely Nancy Reed, his featured vocalist, get together and sing the songs of Camel mildness.
Money-Back Guarantee!
Try Camels and test them as you smoke them. If, at any time, you are not convinced that Camels are the mildest cigarette you ever smoked, return the package with the unused Camels and we will refund its full purchase price, plus postage.
