Students Told To Surrender Minds To God
The greatest problem University students face today is surrendering, not their wills, but their minds to God, C. Stacey Woods, a native Australian, told a statewide conference of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship at the University recently.
Mr. Woods, who is general secretary of the Fellowship in the United States and Canada and the International Fellowship of Evangelical students, gave the three principal speeches at the conference, which included more than 200 students from nine colleges and universities in the state. "A Deeper Life" was the theme of the conference.
"The Christian must give up the right to independent thought," Mr. Woods said. "We are to think not our thoughts, but the thoughts of God." he added.
Our thinking does not make reality, Mr. Woods said. Just because we think something about God does not make it the truth. We need to go back to our only source of information about God, the Bible, he added.
During the afternoon discussion period, the conference divided into groups of 15 students to discuss the problems and policies of a Christian in a university. The groups were led by students and assisted by adult counselors, who were either Fellowship staff members or Kansas ministers.
Following a banquet in the evening, the public was invited to the final session of the conference at which Mr. Woods spoke on "Why I believe in the Holy Spirit."
This conference was the first of its kind in Kansas, Herbert Ketterman, College sophomore and president of the University group said. The group has held other conferences, but not for just one day during the school year. There is a growing tendency toward smaller conferences, he added.
Mr. Woods, who spent most of the past year abroad, said the I.V.C.F. is expanding its program and is cooperating with organizations such as the United Student Christian council. There are more than 450 units of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in schools throughout the country.
Schools taking part in the conference were Emporia State Teachers college, Bush college, Kansas State college, Kansas City university, Washburn college, Arkansas City Junior college, Ottawa university, Baker college, and the University of Kansas.
Scientist Makes New Light To Brighten Path To Door
Washington—(UP)—Thanks to an old-time scientist named Marvin Pipkin, you now can remove the five o'clock shadow without fear of losing half your chin.

Senate Holds Liquor Bill
Toppea, Feb. 22—(U.P.)—Fate of the Kansas liquor control bill today rested with a house-senate conference committee, after senate refusal to okay house amendments to its version of the measure.
Senators voted, 28-7, Monday against accepting the house changes.
Principal stumbling block, apparently, was distribution of a gallonage tax revenue. The senate voted the estimated three million dollar return from a liquor tax should be split. 80 per cent going to the state general fund-20 per cent to local governments. The house suggested it be split 50-50, and proposed an additional 2 per cent "enforcement tax" for cities and counties.
The revenue and other amendments will be discussed in joint committee sessions. Members of the committee have not been named.
Sen. John Potueck, Democratic minority leader, and Sen. George Melvin (R.-Lawrence), v a i n l y joined forces to urge adoption of the amendments as a "fair compromise." Other Legislative Developments:
Sen. Paul Wunsch (R.-Kingman), led the fight to turn down house amendments with an appeal that they not be adopted "just because there are one or two provisions that you particularly favor."
Elsewhere on the legislative scene, a senate committee of the whole approved a bill to shape Kansas license tags in the outline of the state and substitute letters instead of numbers to designate counties; approved a bill that would make the Missouri-Kansas border conform to the Missouri river north of Kansas City (effective only if the Missouri legislature passed a similar law and both were ratified by congress).
Fischer Will Speak To Zoology Club
Alfred Fischer, instructor in geology, will discuss "The Development of the Cephalopod" at the Zoology club meeting, 7:30 p.m. Thursday in 20'sc hall, Robert Delphia president, said.
Plans for the club's annual spring picnic and other spring activities will also be discussed. Delphia added.
Who'll Be First Over Niagara In Barrel Next Summer
Nigara Falls, Out...(UP)—A race to see who will be first to risk his peek in a trip over Niagara falls is reported under way here.
Although nobody will name names, it seems that two factions are at war over which will be the first to see its representative head over the falls in a barrel, ball or some other contraption next summer.
Rumors has it that both factions◊
Rumors have it that both meadows have conducted "test ruts" over the treacherous Horseshoe falls. Each apparently is trying to find a conveyance which will navigate the dangerous trip without harm to the one inside.
One story has it that a group of rivemen have experimented with a box said to be "safer and moreouavant than a barrel or ball."
The story goes that the experimenters worked at night in fog and mist to test their box. One group launched the empty box from the Canadian side of the falls. Others waited in a row boat at the bottom of the cataract to retrieve the box.
Then the box was taken to the riddle of the Lewiston bridge, cropped into the river and retrieved again. Reportedly, it was only
The second test, according to the grapevine, involved a rubber bal. equipped with novel air chambers. It reportedly was retrieved undamaged.
slightly damaged by the battering and had taken in no water.
William (Red) Hill, Jr., who successfully navigated seven and a half miles of Niagara's treacherous rapids in a steel barrel last summer, refused to say whether he was one of the men considering a trip over the falls next year.
"You never can tell," he grinned.
"I won't say I am going over the falls. But neither will I say I'm not.
Third, the first successful inside frost-job. This one was developed by Mr. Pipkin to soften the glare and brighten the room.
*out into light bulbs and before any*
*hassle they had gone*
*them Edison on better.*
Reconstructed, the story shapes up something like this: Mr. Edison invented the incandescent lamp and for a long time there were no improvements. In fact, by the turn of the century, the great minds in the lab had decided that the carbon filament lamp was as perfect as man could make it. To strive for something better, they said, was something like sending a small boy in at deadline to do a quick re-write job on Hamlet.
"I will say that if I did any tinkering about it, I'd settle in favor of a rubber ball with a good, thick outer cork lining.
That's where the poll-takers in the lab should have taken a look over their test tubes instead of into them. They hadn't reckoned with Mr. Pipkin. He was in there working on the theory that if you build a brighter bulb the world can better see the lane that leads to your doorway.
First, the beginning and no challenge. Credit: Thomas A. Edison. Second, the tungsten filament developed by Dr. Wilis Whitney.
All right, time went on. And now it is agreed that the light bulb as we know it today, has undergone four major changes.
And fourth—Now we have a fine new inside finish that is supposed to be the ultimate in diffusion of light. Also by Mr. Pipkin, who did what they said couldn't be done, making him one up on the famous Mr. Edison.
As is often the case, Mr. Pipkin, who works at General Electric's lamp development laboratory at Nela Park, outside Cleveland, was looking for something else when he came on his new discovery. He was fiddling around with magnesium powder, trying to get up a better flash bulb for photographers.
All of a sudden, as a culmination of postwar research, out came a silica substance which acts as a nearly perfect diffuser of light. Yet it permits high light transmission.
Diffusion, in case you've never dug into the subject, means a scattering of light. Same in this corner as in that, but Uniform brightness, the man said.
Mr. Pipkin worked hard and it took him 25 years, but he made it. He has cut out a lot of the shadows you clicked on in a room when you clicked on a light.
For this society should be grateful. Thank you, Mr. Pipkin!
The University R.O.T.C. rifle队 came in second in a recent three-way postal rifle match with the Army unit of the universities of San Francisco and Toledo, Sgt. M. P. Wojcik, assistant instructor of military science, said.
ROTC Rifle Team Takes Second Place
The scores were San Francisco university, 1874; Kansas, 1704; and Toledo university, 1651. Richard E. Kummer, engineering sophomore, was high point man for K.U. with 771.

Dunkelberg Gives Recital
"Tickets are available in the basement of Green hall for all four nights," Harold Harvey, director of the play, said today.
"Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Major" by Liszt highlighted the interesting and varied program presented by Maxine Dunkelberg, pianist, in her senior recital Monday in Frank Strong auditorium.
Miss Dunkelberg played the very technical concerto with perfect ease and power. D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, played the piano accompaniment with his usual mastery.
The program included: "Fantasie and Fugue in G Minov" (Bach-Liszt); "Scherzo in C Sharp Minor, op. 28." "Nocture, Op. 72, No. 1"; Three preludes of "Polonaise in A Flat, Op. 53." (Chopin).
The pianissimo runs in the selection "Noctuelles" (Night Moths) by Ravel were precise and clear, showing excellent control by Miss Dunkelberg.
"Feux d'Artifice" (Fireworks) by Ravel was so vividly presented that listeners could imagine the brilliant fireworks. The vibrant effect created in this number was outstanding.
Miss Dunkelberg presented the entire recital with tireless mastery. Thre were no weak spots in her performance.
"Noctuelles" (Ravel)；“Lo Soirie Dans Grenade” (Evening in Granada) and “Feux d'Artifice” (Debussy); “Concerto No. 1 in E Flat Major”) (Liszt).

Committee Asks For Draft Use To Fill Quotas
Washington, Feb. 22 —(U.P.) A special civilian-military committee recommended today that the army expand the National Guard and the Organized Reserves, and use the draft to bring them up to full strength.
In a report to Army Secretary Kenneth C. Royall, the committee proposed a 154,300-man increase in the combined authorized strength of these units to boost the Guard to 475,000 men and the reserves to 579,300.
Under President Truman's new military budget, the Guard would be limited to 350,000 men and the Reserve corps to about 550,000.
The committee said that in order to build up the Guard and the Reserves to the new ceilings, "the provisions of the selective service law (should) be made applicable to the Reserve components." It did not specify how the draft should be applied.
The committee was headed by former Secretary of State James F. Byrnes. Its members included Charles E. Wilson, president of General Electric Co.; Gen. Mark W. Clark, commander of the Sixth army; Maj. Gen. Julius Ochs Adler, vice president and general manager of the New York Times and commander of the 77th reserve division, and Brig. Gen. John A. Harris, Adjunct General of Missouri.
The committee told Royall it was aware that the proposed expansion would be expensive. But it said bluntly that "we firmly believe we cannot afford a cheaper program."
"While our national economy demands that we carefully scrutinize expenditures in the military establishment," the committee said, "We firmly believe that our national security demands the expenditure necessary to support the program which we are recommending."
