Extension Sees Bigger Service
"University extension is conducting a graduate course in chemical thermodynamics for the Spencer Chemical company south of Pittsburg." Dean Stockton said. The class is made up of men who represent the research and development phase of the chemicals industry.
Ernest Griswold, associate professor of chemistry, will teach the course.
"Previously we had a course in engineering thermodynamics which we conducted for the Mid-West Research foundation in Kansas City. This was a refresher course, however. Now we are offering the first graduate work in chemical 'thermodynamics', Dean Stockton said."
University extension has centers in Kansas City and Wichita. Topeka and Leavenworth, are under the Kansas City center.
Courses soon will be open to soldiers and officers at Ft. Leavenworth and Topeka and Smoky Hill air force bases.
"The course will permit soldiers lacking 60 hours college credit to apply for admission to officers candidate schools. Pressure from higher-ups is on those officers who do not have 60 hours work completed." Dean Stockton explained.

Aye, Aye Snow Insect Collection Tops All North of the Border Rivals
Aldo G. Aliotti, vice-president of Forensic league conducted the meeting in Green hall. Eight meetings will be held during the semester, and prizes will be given for most achievement in speech during the semester.
Almost hidden in a small but neat room in Snow hall is an insect collection second to no other in this country.
The Francis Huntington Snow Entomological collection has no superior in insects from countries north of Mexico, according to Dr. R. H. Beamer professor of entomology.
"Id need three secretaries and a dog to keep track of the number of individual specimens we have here," Dr. Beamer said, in response to a question about the exact size of the collection of which he is in charge.
"However, there are 11,000 species in the Coleoptera family (beetles) alone," he said. Hundreds of families are included in the entire group. The collection was started by Dr. F. H. Snow.
An unusual history is attached to the collection now housed in metal cabinets in the west room of Snow hall. Dr. F. H. Snow was one of the first three professors to come to the University. He arrived before the first building was completed in 1866 and began collecting Kansas insects in 1870. At the end of the first year he had 530 specimens.
Typical of Dr. Snow's efforts to
secure more insects is the story of his "gold mine." In 1877 he captured 1,100 blind tiger beetles in western Kansas. The beetles, considered scarcity by ontomologists throughout the world, enabled Dr. How to demand and obtain advantageous species that was able to obtain the rare species
Although new additions are seldom discovered, each year a group of interested students and professors travels to a favorable locality to gather bugs and mosquito bites.
The Snow collection has reached its present status by further collection and generous donations.
Most interesting to the majority of persons, says Dr. Ecamer, is the display of butterflies, many of which are exotic and beautiful. The entire Snow collection is open to the public.
Speakers, Dates Announced For Lecture Series
Three of the four University community lecturers will be at the convocation hour, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, said today.
The new policy will place the first three lectures during the morning period of 9:20-10:20 a.m. with the fourth lecture being at the traditional evening hour.
In addition to the change in policy, Mr. Nichols listed the four speakers. They are Rebecca West, English novelist, biographer, and political reporter; Hanson Baldwin, military affairs analyst of the New York Times; John Mason Brown, drama critic and associate editor of the Saturday Review of Literature; and Dorothy Thompson, political commentator and columnist.
"The change in time is for the students," Mr. Nichols said. "By scheduling three lectures for convocation periods we avoid the heavy night schedule already well filled by the Humanities lectures, the concert course, and other activities."
There will be no season ticket sale to the public and the public may buy tickets only for the one evening lecture. Student activity books will admit to all four lectures.
The dates listed for the lectures are: Dec. 1, Miss West; Jan. 13, Mr. Baldwin; March 9, Mr. Brown; and March 23, Miss Thompson.
Claims Berlin Not UN Case
Moscow, Sept. 29—(UP) —The magazine New Times, sounding board of the Russian foreign office, said today that the Berlin crisis was no concern of the United Nations.
It said the reference of the matter to the U.N. meant an attempt by the Western powers to "repudiate their wartime obligations and free their hands for action having nothing in common with the interests of peace and security."
The comment was the first made public here since the Western powers reported their intention of referring the matter to the U.N.
"Now they intend to take the next step along the path, mixing the U.N. in matters which are none of its concern," the New Times said editorially. "These attempts will bring no more success than other similar efforts to tamper with the authority of the U.N.
The editorial reiterated the Soviet thesis that the success or failure of the talks on Berlin depended exclusively on the Western powers. The indefinite wording seemed to imply that the door still was open for negotiations without resort to the U.N.
L. R. Lind, professor of Latin and Greek, is editing "Saint Jerome's Latin Vulgate", for school use. He received exclusive rights from Oxford university to use the Wordsworth-White edition.

Finish Library Annex Jan.1
Additions to the library will be finished about Jan. 1, E. O. Hollingsworth, superintendent of the project said today.
Despite shortages, the work is on schedule. Mr. Hollingsworth said. At present a need for stoneworkers exists, and the stone is being hauled from Indiana by truck because of a freight car shortage. Earlier material shortages delayed the steel work for several months.
The west addition will supplement the crowded reading room in the library. The east addition will provide badly needed stacks. Included in the plans are a Western Civilization room, new rooms for storage, a bindery, offices, and workrooms.
Mr. Hollingsworth said that as soon as materials are available his workmen will replace the main library entrance with a 3-door entrance. The present stone seats will be removed for added width. A small entrance will open into the west addition.

Rickety Ricksha Man Is Mechanized Now
Hongkong, — (UP) — Hongkong may become the first city in the Far East to eliminate the age-old ricksha as transportation.
A three-wheeled motor-driven "rikmobile" has been found satisfactory after police tests. About 150 will be imported if official foreign exchange can be arranged, according to the assistant superintendent of police, Geoffrey Binstead.
The "tikmobile" resembles the three-wheeled motorcycles which American firms use for deliveries. Two passengers are seated behind the driver and are protected from the weather by a plexiglass hood.
