Marsh Named Rhodes Winner In Midwest
Thad N. Marsh, graduate student and English instructor who was one of the two Kansas applicants for a Rhodes scholarship, has been selected as one of the four Midwestern students to receive the scholarship award.
He returned Dec. 11 from Drake university at Des Moines, where 12 students from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota competed for the four scholarships from this region.
Mr. Marsh was picked as a Kansas applicant by the state selection committee in Topeka Dec. 7.
He is the 10th University graduate to win the award, and the second University student to win it this year. Henry L. Miller, Jr., Kansas City. Mo, who received his masters degree in economics in June, began a study in advanced economics at Oxford university in October. Altogether, 24 Kansans have been selected to study at Oxford. Mr. Marsh will sail for England in September. The scholarship will enable him to study at Oxford for two years, with an option for an additional year. The awards pay about $2,000 a year.

Quiz Kids Tonight Are Maxon, Slough
Guests on the KFKU quiz program, "Brainbusters," at 9:30 tonight will be John Maxon, director of the Spooner-Thayer Museum of Art, and M. C. Slough, associate professor of law.
The regular member of the faculty panel of "experts" is Emil L. Telfel, assistant professor of journalism. L. E. Stollenwerck, College junior who uses the radio name of Larry Edwards, is moderator of the program.
Union Addition Looks Probable
Plans to expand the Union to twice its present size received tentative approval by the directors of the University of Kansas Memorial corporation Saturday.
The directors voted to make plans available for study by students. Plans will be placed with Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, at the Union building, and in the department of architecture, sometime this week. Student comment is invited as the present design is not final.
Ogden Jones, chairman of the Union operating committee, could make no estimate as to when the project would be sufficiently advanced to call for bids. Union activity fees, which are earmarked for building and physical improvement funds, provide a sound basis for financing the construction, Jones said.
The project might cost a million dollars or more. A bond issue to be liquidated by Union fees is being considered as a financing plan.
The plans call for an addition on the south that would duplicate the size of the present five-story building. The new Palm room addition on the north, now only one-story, would be built to the height of the present building.
The enlarged Union would provide a larger lounge. The ballroom would be doubled in size. Enlargement of other food service facilities would release the ballroom from its present dual service as a cafeteria.
Plans also call for additional conference rooms for small meetings; added space for offices of student organizations; enlargement of the student book store, and an inside gallery around the new ballroom.
Mr. Glotzbach was graduated from the School of Business in 1940 and received a bachelor of music degree in 1942. He received his master of music degree the past year, and was made a member of the piano faculty in the School of Fine Arts.
Glotzbach Gives Recital Tonight
The program will include the "Second Sonata" by Brahm, and shorter numbers by Byrd, Daquin, Scarlatti, Rameau, Paulenc, Griffes and Ravel.
Robert Glotzbach, assistant instructor in piano, will present a faculty recital at 8 p.m. today, in Frank Strong auditorium.
Kansas — Increasing cloudiness and mild today. Cloudy tonight and tomorrow with rain and snow changing to snow and much colder with strong northerly winds west tonight, spreading over state tomorrow with less snow. High today 50 northwest, 65 southeast. Low tonight 20 northwest to 45 southeast.
His recital is open to the public.
WEATHER
KU Allowed Half Power Load After KEP Blast
The University power plant will be allowed to use up to 500 kilowatts of electricity from the Kansas Electric Power company starting today. Since an explosion which damaged the Tecumseh power plant and killed nine men the University power plant has carried the entire load for the University.
Because the limit set by K.E.P. on the amount the University may use is only half as much as ordinarily used, W. C. Sanderson said today that "it is advisable that all departments not use any more electricity than is needed. No motors should be turned on any longer than necessary."
This morning the load on the two turbines at the University power plant was 1000 kilowatts. Because one of the turbines is a non-condensing type, the exhaust of which heats the buildings, it cannot operate at full capacity except in extremely cold weather without overheating the buildings. Very warm weather would cause a recurrence of the emergency.
The electrical and mechanical engineering laboratories have curtailed use of electricity since the emergency. Donald G. Wilson, associate professor of electrical engineering said today that all experiments requiring use of the large motor generator set had been cut out since Thursday. He added that the department probably would use the motor generator with the increased supply of power now available.
Scholarship As Memorial
A scholarship in memory of Jean Anne Crawford has been established at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in Medford, Mass., by Dean and Mrs. Ivan C. Crawford of the University of Michigan College of Engineering.
Miss Crawford was graduated from the University of Kansas with Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1940 and the Fletcher school in '41. Dean Crawford was formerly dean of the Engineering school here.
The scholarship, for women preparing for careers in international affairs, will have an annual stipend of $400. The award will be granted each year by the Fletcher School to that candidate who is judged most likely to carry out the high standards of scholarship and character expressed by the graduate for whom it is named.
Miss Crawford was fatally injured while assigned as a Red Cross correspondent accompanying the Hoover Commission investigating food supply problems in Holland and Belgium.
In 1942 she joined the Washington staff of Newsweek magazine, serving there until going overseas with the Red Cross in 1943.
E. A. Berry, representative of the Kerr-McGee oil industries, will interview engineering students to tomorrow in 111 Marvin.

ISA To Retain State Structure
At a dinner which wound up the conference, Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, said that I.S.A. was helping carry out the aims of education.
Delegates to a state conference of Kansas' Independent Student associations Dec. 11 voted to continue the state organization and to meet March 12, 1949, to organize and to adopt a new state constitution. They voted to begin annual state conferences.
Caroline Hamma, education senior and vice president of K.U.'s L.S.A., was selected as a delegate to the spring meeting.
"I.S.A. promotes social activities for independent students, interests independent students in campus activities and it aids them in taking part in those activities" he said. "It helps present the views and positions of independent students with respect to campus government, campus publications and other activities."
"Politics" was discussed by a panel on the organization of I.S.A. Feeling was strong that the I.S.A. should not lose political autonomy. "I.S.A. should continue to work for the independent students, politically and otherwise, but it should not become a political organization," one delegate said.
He listed two aims that the I.S.A might adopt as development of leadership and development of scholarship.
May Add Name To AWS Scholarship
The Associated Women Students senate has proposed that the the K.U. Women's Memorial scholarship. Miss Tippin died of polio in name of Jane Tippin be added to August.
The scholarship is student initiated and is intended to perpetuate the memory of all women students whose academic careers are cut short by death. It now includes the names of Fredrika Ekblad and Geraldine Cuddy, killed in a Thanksgiving holiday automobile accident.
An award will be made each spring for the following year to a worthy and needy woman student who has been in residence at the University at least one semester.
Terrell Will Select Regular NROTC Man
Capt. W. R. Terrell, commandant of the University Naval Reserve Officers Training corps unit, has been authorized by the chief of naval operations to select a regular N.R.O.T.C. student from the freshman contract students.
Selection as a regular member of the N.R.O.T.C. means that the student will receive $50 a month, whereas he would have received only $32 monthly in his junior and senior years as a contract student.
Leland Stowe Will Speak At Convocation
Leland Stowe, foreign correspondent and lecturer will speak in an all University convocation, tomorrow at 9:20 a.m. in Hoch auditorium. His subject will be "America and the Chinese Dilemma."
