University Daily Kansan STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
22 Men Receive Residence Hall Scholarships
Residence hall scholarships have been awarded to 22 University men.
The men will operate the hall on a co-operative basis, sharing homework duties and costs. The men in Battenfeld, another scholarship hall, have been obtaining board and room for about $31 a month. L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, estimated the monthly bill at Sterling would be about the same.
They will occupy the Sterling hall dormitory at the start of the spring semester. Situated at 1129 Louisiana street, Sterling hall was purchased last summer and used as a women's dormitory this fall. Women living there will be transferred to other dormitories.
Thus for a full academic year a Sterling hall scholarship would be worth between $250 and $300 to the student. Each scholar will work between an hour and an hour and a half daily on household duties.
Because the residence hall scholarships could not become effective until February, some of the men received $100 cash awards for the fall semester from the DeForrest F. Plazzek fund.
Those receiving the scholarships are. George Crawford, Ronald Dean, Donald L. Ferrell, James A. Glass, Paul Staley, Walter C. Niederee, Paul M. Arrowood, Paul J. Thomas, College freshmen; Dean F. Grimm, Donald F. Kerle, Robert B. Simpson, engineering freshmen; Robert F. Peck, Albert A. Kihm, College sophores; Boyd C. Latimer, Arthur D. Peterson, Juniors; Tom Lovitt, Keith Riggs, fine arts freshmen; Gerald D. Petersen, education freshman; Donald Trent, engineering junior; George C. Johnson, education senior; Darrell L. Rhudy, pharmacy freshman; Robert Dale Judy, graduate student, who will be proctor for the hall.

KKXX at Colby co-operates with KFKU in the broadcasting of the "Junior Classroom" series. Currently it is rebroadcasting five programs weekly that originate at the University.
KFKU's old studio in the electrical engineering laboratory, scene of the first broadcast, will be used for the program. However, most of the program will originate "live" in Hoch auditorium. The station's new ultra-modern studios in the engineering experiment station are not ready for broadcasting. An open house in the new studios has been postponed although chairs will be placed in it for visitors who desire to listen to the anniversary broadcast there by remote control.
KFKU first operated as a 500-watt station broadcasting two evenings a week. It had its own transmitter and tower then. For many years, however, KFKU has shared time and transmitter facilities with WREN.
Miss Mildred Seaman has been program director of KFKU since 1935. The anniversary broadcast is being prepared under her direction.

Gimme That Big Blue Book—You Know The One By That Guy Whatsisname
By JIM SCOTT
Most students who drop into the library for a volume seem to be co-operative and understanding. But the others . . . !
For instance, there's the type which doesn't know the title of the book he's looking for, nor the name of the author. He just knows the color of the cover.
"You know," he says, "The big blue book I had out yesterday."
It doesn't occur to him that there are 9,596 other students at K.U., and probably as many, "big blue books" in Watson library.
"The guy who comes in and mumbles mush at you is a big headache," said one book dispenser. "He always looks so amazed when you ask him what he said. He's the same type whose signature looks like tracks left by a chicken with inkey feet."
Surprisingly enough, women are no more confused and vague than men when it comes to asking for books.
Medical School Bill Introduced Today
Life is sometimes rough at the University, but if you want to hear a real tale of woe, a really sad story, just ask the man behind the desk-at Watson library.
Professors occasionally create minor crises in the library when they assign non-existent books. A few have been known to check out certain books and then assign their students to read them. This brings about considerable confusion.
Recently, one student, after studying for hours, left his hat and pen at the desk and walked out with the book. It is believed that he was a history major.
"Upperclassmen give us the most trouble about I.D. cards," he added.
"They do give a sweet line when they leave their identification cards at home," said one employee.
Topeka, Jan. 17—(UP)—A bill to appropriate $3,862,560 for enlarging University of Kansas Medical center facilities in Kansas City was introduced into the house of representatives today with Gov. Frank Carlson's blessing.
"They seem to think, I've been here for four years, you should know me by now.' "
If enacted into law, the measure would be the first step toward easing
Contest Winners Will Get $225
The committee which will judge the essays consists of Miss Crumrine, Elmer Beth, professor of journalism, and James C. Seaver, assistant professor of history.
Any requests for information should be made to Miss Crumrine in her office at 115 Frank Strong hall.
Manuscripts must be in triplicate. Each essay must contain not less than 5,000 words and not more than 10,000. All manuscripts must be signed with an assumed name. The real name of the writer must be included in a sealed envelope with his assumed name on the outside.
The 1949 Hattie Elizabeth Lewis memorial essay contest was announced today by Miss Mattie Crumrine, assistant professor of Romance languages.
Prizes of $100, $75, and $50 will be awarded for the best essay on the application of the teachings of Jesus to some problem of the present day. The subject will be the choice of the person writing the essay. Deadline for manuscripts is May 2, 1949.
The memorial to Miss Lewis, a former student at the University, was established in 1911 by her husband E. Patrick of Washington, D.C.
High Schools Debate Here
The finals of the state debate tournament for Class A and AA high schools will be held Friday, Feb. 11, and Saturday, Feb. 12 at the University. State finals for Class B schools will be at Hutchinson.
The Kansas High School Activities association has also awarded one of the four district A and AA tournaments to the University on Saturday, Feb. 5.
Eight Class AA schools and six Class A schools will compete in the finals. The debate question this year concerns changing the United Nations into a world government.
Class AA high schools are those with an enrollment of 476 or greater; Class A schools are in the 151-475 brackets and Class B schools have 150 or fewer students.
Leonard To Finish Study At Harvard
Interest in high school debate has run higher this year than at any time since before the war. More schools are taking part and there have been numerous tournaments sponsored by schools. During the war, interest in debate lagged because transportation problems limited the number of tournaments and there was a shortage of coaches.
A. Byron Leonard, associate professor of zoology, who has been doing research at the University on a leave of absence, recently has left for Harvard to continue study of the mollusca, the phylum which includes clams, oysters and snails.
Both tournaments will be held in Fraser hall.
Expansion of University hospitals would permit training 25 per cent more physicians there yearly, said Rep. Lawrence Blythe of White City, one of the bill's three sponsors. Other co-authors were Rep. John McNair of Jetmore and Rep. Paul Shanahan of Salina, who as majority house floor leader will give the bill powerful administration support.
For construction of two additional floors on Eaton building, $170,755.
The measure would create the "University of Kansas hospital building fund" in the state treasury from available sales tax money. It would make available during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1, the following sums:
For construction of two additional floors on clinic building. $306,335.
For construction of service building (60 feet by 100 feet, basement, and four floors), $811,357.50.
For construction of basic science building (60 feet by 100 feet, basement, four floors and animal house), $757,102.50.
For construction of building for chest disease, $481,860.
For construction of building for psychiatry. $481,860.
For construction of addition to nurses' home, $432.630.
For equipment for above buildings, incl. installations, $20,000.
$3,862.75
