UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE TWO MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1948 Snap Courses In College Give Retired Alum A Hobby Snap courses in college have some value, Ittai A. Luke, '14, said today. In his case he said they seemed to arouse interests which provided hobbies in later years of life. Mr. Luke, commenting on his college days to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, said, "I enrolled in some art and architecture courses only to righted my load. Later these courses enabled me to enjoy styles of architecture I have seen in various parts of the world. The art courses have given me a hobby now that I am retired, painting with water colors." Mr. Luke was retired as an army colonel in 1945 after more than 29 years of service. He now lives in Palo Alto, Calif. Automobiles present the most striking change on the campus since 1910 when he was a freshman, Mr. Luke said. "Everyone walked, and I believe everyone was happier," he said. "There were a very few cars in 1914. One in particular that I remember was a Dodge which had to be backed up the hill to keep fuel flowing to the engine." While at the University he was a member of the national guard, and an assistant cheerleader. After graduation and before joining the army, Mr. Luke sailed approximately 75,000 miles as a magnetic observer for the Carnegie institution. Material gained was used in charter navigation maps. "When I say sailed, I mean just that," the colonel related. "Bronze was the only metal allowed on board ship because of our instruments." He resigned from the Carnegie institution in the fall of 1916 to join the Army. He served in Europe during World War I with the field artillery. Colonel Luke served ten years in Washington, D.C., and from 1829 to 1934 was on the R.O.T.C. staff at Stanford university and also has been stationed in New Jersey, Maine, Indiana, Texas, California, Kansas, Utah, and Arizona.

Phone Strike Still A Threat St. Louis, Dec. 20—(UP)—Representatives of the Southwestern Bell Telephone company and the independent Communications Workers of America meet today with a federal conciliator in a new effort to end a dispute which the union says may result in a walkout "before Christmas." Conciliator A. E. Johnson said negotiations were "as deadlocked as they can be" after separate talks yesterday with both sides. Immediate efforts were centered on finding a means of arbitrating the dispute, which began nine months ago and threatens phone service in five states including Kansas. Its chief concern is a wage increase. The company has offered increases which would bring an average of 6.7 cents an hour more to the workers. They seek 15 cents after scaling their demands down from an opening bid for 30 cents. The company refused the union's suggestion that a fact-finding board investigate the company's claim that increased wages would bring a rate boost. The board suggested by the union was to have been composed of members selected by the president of state universities in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, the affected states.

COLLEGE INN State Constitution Needs Revision Bulletins may be obtained at the Bureau of Government Research, or names may be added to the regular mailing list without charge, Ethan P. Allen, director, said. Mr. and Mrs. Vesco, Proprietors. The bulletin deals with state constitutional revision in general, with special emphasis given to means of revision in Kansas. It shows the present unequal apportionment of representatives in the Kansas legislature, and explains it is one of the items most needing constitutional revision. A vote cast for representative for the state legislature in one of the smaller counties in Kansas counts 41 times as much as a vote in one of the largest counties. This point is brought out in a discussion of constitutional revision in this month's bulletin of the Bureau of Government Research. 14th and Tenn.
