Two representatives from each of the six states in this district will meet at Drake university at Des Moines, Saturday for the final interview. Four Rhodes scholars will be chosen from the district. These students with 28 others from the seven other districts in the United States will go to Oxford university in October, 1949.
The state selection committee is made up of former Rhodes scholars, and includes W. E. Sandelius, professor of political science.
William Barber of Abilene, a senior at Harvard university also was selected from Kansas.

Students Debate Marshall Plan
A debate on the Marshall plan was a highlight of the monthly dinner meeting of the International Relations club Tuesday in the Kansas room of the Union. Members of the UNESCO.council were guests.
Stollenwerck maintained that the Marshall plan is a method of relief to help war ravaged foreign countries to help themselves. Friesen, in rebuttal, said that its main faults were lack of a taxing program, and that it would tend to form black markets and cause overloaded payrolls in the countries receiving the appropriations.

China Aid 'Unlikely', Chinese Says
I-t'an Yu (pronounced E-tan Eu) is a friendly, personable foreign student studying at the University for his M.S. degree in aeronautical engineering. He speaks English fairly fluently, but with a marked accent.
Although his father, Tsune-chi Yu, is the Chinese ambassador to Italy, Yu said he did not pay close attention to Chinese politics. He said, however, that without American aid "a Communist victory appears overwhelming." this country. Then
"I think such aid is unlikely," he added. "Maybe this country will help China. I hope so, but the Chinese don't have much to offer in return."
Yu was sent to the United States by the Ministry of Economic affairs in China as a technical engineer. For $14.20 years he took technical training in a Philadelphia steel company's office. The University was recommended to him by the China Institute in America and he started here this semester. He receives a special scholarship which helps his expenses.
In China Yu is 32 years old but in America he is only 30. The difference arises from the fact that in China a person is one year old when born and in 100 days has another birthday.
"Because the Communist forces have taken over much of industrial China there is not a need for all the students being technically trained in
"I hope to finish my work in aeronautical engineering in two more semesters. After that I intend to get a master's degree in either engineering or mathematics."
this country. They want us but they can't use us," he said.
"I believe this country is the best place in the world to live in. After my work here I hope to get a job doing office work in the East, but if I am needed in China I will go back there."
Yu said he noticed a difference in the way courses are taught at the University and in China. "In China they do not have enough textbooks and the professors must explain everything in class and put problems on the board. We went to school eight hours a day and then did our homework. Here it is necessary to study more from text books. I do not think there is much difference in the amount of material covered, though," he said.

Yu, who is living in Oread hall, was graduated from Peiyang university in the northern Chinese port of Tientsin. He planned to come to this country to study immediately after his graduation but the war intervened. He served in the Chinese army for three years as a second lieutenant, did office work for the remaining five years of war, and then worked for the Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation
association for a year
He said the noise at Oread bothered him a little at first but he soon got used to it. Laughingly he explained, "I thought it might be quieter over Thanksgiving and was planning to do some studying, but a crew of men started working on the pavement under my window and it was noisier than ever."
Music As Aid To Medicine Discussed Here
The use of music as a help to medicine for individual patients was discussed by leading musical therapists from eight states at a conference of hospital musicians here Monday and Tuesday. It was the first conference of this type to be held in the nation, according to Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, chairman.
The main emphasis of the program was on the need of co-operation and organization among the workers in the music therapy field, which is comparatively new. Round-table and panel discussions were aimed at forming specific programs for hospital musicians, and definite direction of research. No conclusions were reached, however.
In giving the scope and potentialities for hospital musicians, Dr. Gaston said "the scientific application of functional music is just beginning. Some of the things we hope to accomplish are the determination of the correlation between personality types, character types, and music choices of the individual."
Other conference leaders were Dr. Leon L. Burnstein, chief of department of neuro surgery at Winter; Michael Dunn, from the Menninger Institute for psychological medicine; Dr. Edward D. Greenwood, attending physician in the department of physical medicine rehabilitation at Winter; Robert Kollman, head of the music department in the V.A. hospital at St. Cloud, Minn.; Dr William F. Roth, Jr., chairman of the department of psychiatry and neurology at the University Medical center; and Dr. Glen R. Shepherd and Dr. A. P. Steeegmann, from the department of clinical neurology at the University Medical center.
Dr. Harry Wagenheim, chief of physical medicine rehabilitation at Winter General hospital, said the main purpose of the research and work being done with music is to see if music really does something helpful in the treatment of patients.
The candidates for queen are Mary Moore, fine arts junior; Barbara Burkholder, College sophomore; Shirley Yost, Mary McGinty, Ann Preble, and Mary Helen Keller, fine arts sophomores; and Yvonne Veverka, College freshman.
The committee of midshipmen is composed of Robert Shearer, engineering senior; Harold Bailey, engineering junior; Charles Hayes, education junior; Theodore Tober, pharmacy junior; Ernest Friesen, College junior; Willard Brooks, education sophomore; Lyle Deniston, College sophomore; and Wint Winters, College freshman.
The navy queen for the R.O.T.C. Military ball scheduled for Friday night was selected Monday by a committee of eight N.R.O.T.C. midshipmen. The name of the queen will be announced the night of the ball.
The committee met the eight candidates at a tea Sunday afternoon in the home of Capt. and Mrs. W. R. Terrell, 622 Ohio street.
