KU Receives Grant To Train City Managers
Fifty thousand dollars has been granted the University by the Carnegie corporation, New York, to finance a five-year apprentice training program in city management. The grant was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The grant will be administered at the rate of $10,000 a year through the bureau of government researah. Dr. E. O. Stene, associate professor of political science, will direct the project.
Six graduate students will be selected each year for 18 months training. The first two semesters will be spent at the University in courses in city government and technical phases of local administration.
The second half of the training will be an internship, in which the students will assist a city manager or act as an assistant in a major department on a large city administration.
A unique feature of the training is that the University will retain close contact with the trainees while they are in the field. Students will return to the University every six weeks for consultations and an exchange of ideas and re-appraisal of the course with faculty members. University staff members will visit cities periodically where trainees are working.
Two Will Be Radio Interns
Two faculty members of the William Allen White School of Journalism will be radio interns this summer.
They are Emil L. Telfel, assistant professor of journalism, and Harold E. Addington, instructor, who have been selected by the Council on Radio Journalism.
Mr. Telfel has been assigned to station WHAM in Rochester, N.Y. and Mr. Addington to station KMBC in Kansas City, Mo. Both men will work in the news department, but Mr. Addington said that he plans to work also in the promotion, management, and sales departments.
The internship program is sponsored by the National Association of Broadcasters and the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism, and was started in 1945. The program is based in the idea that journalism teachers are best qualified for teaching radio news courses if they have practical experience in radio stations.
This is the first time that the council has chosen two men from the same university for internships. Elmer F. Beth, acting director of the Journalism school, was an intern at station KMBC in 1945.
Miller And Goertz Win Chemistry Award
Norman G. Miller and Richard J. Goertz will receive the Alpha Chi Sigma award as outstanding graduates in chemistry and chemical engineering, the chemistry faculty announced today.
The award is usually made every year to one outstanding member of the graduating class, but the chemistry faculty decided that two should receive it this year. The award is based on scholarship, personality, and integrity.
Miller is a chemical engineering major and Goertz is majoring in chemistry.
Eighty Attend Ad Dinner
Approximately 80 persons attended a dinner held for advertising majors Tuesday in the Union ballroom.
The dinner was sponsored by Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity; Lee S. Cole, instructor of journalism, and Mrs. Cole. Awards were made to members of advertising staff of the University Daily Kansan.
Closing Hours 11 During Finals
Closing hours during final week will be 11 p.m. every night but Saturday, which will be 1 a.m., Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women, announced today.
Closing hours will be midnight including weekends from June 3 to the beginning of summer school, June 13. Beginning June 14 the regular closing hour schedule will go into effect.
Regular closing hours are 10:30 p.m. Monday thru Thursday, 12:30 a.m. Friday, 1 a.m. Saturday, and 11 p.m. Sunday.
Money Needed For Train Fund
The Freedom Train contribution campaign was $1307 short at 10 a.m. today.
Riley Burcham, chairman of the Freedom Train finance committee urged people to make their contributions by May 26. The total quota for Lawrence is $1826 and the amount must be sent to the American Heritage foundation by noon May 26.
Lawrence is one of the six cities in Kansas that the train will visit. It was not scheduled through Lawrence until citizens requested that the train should stop here June 2. They promised to pay the quota.
"We cannot raise the money by taxes." Mr. Burcham explained. Members of the finance committee explained to Fox Case, regional director of the American Heritage program, that Lawrence is caught between the cancer drive and the Freedom Train fund raising campaign. Committee members thought this might be the reason for the delay in contributions.
Delta Sigma Pi Elects, Initiates

Will Confer On Union Activities
Freeburg Wins Art Exhibit
Whether or not the organization will again become active will probably be decided tonight when the Union Operating board meets, but "it is not known if anything definite will be decided," L. C. Woodruff, dean of student affairs, said today.
The Union Activities office has been opened in the Union, but still there is no comment from anyone as to the status of the organization.
Charles R. Freeburg, engineering junior, received first place in the Delta Phi Delta art exhibition when a popular vote was taken Tuesday.
If the organization is not reactivated soon, other arrangements will have to be made for summer activities. The "Jayhawk Nibble," an entertainment for new students, was the first scheduled event for the summer session.
Second and third places went to William R. Kiene, engineering junior, and Albert Petrik, fine arts sophomore.
Freebring received 145 votes for his pencil drawing of a young boy. His entry was number 78. Kiene's entry, number 86, received 128 votes. It was a water color of a dilapidated old house. Petrik's oil painting entitled "Escape" received 44 votes. His entry was number 12.
James R. Page, engineering sophomore, received first in the pencil sketch division when the exhibition was judged by faculty members Monday.
"The outdoor exhibition held the past three days in front of Robinson gymnasium was to promote public thinking in art." Donald I. Kane, treasurer of Delta Phi Delta, said
One hundred-forty entries divided into four classes were exhibited They were oils, water colors, pencil sketches, and miscellaneous.
During Final Exams:
Campanile Ritual To Be Held June 7
The ground-breaking ceremony announcing the start of actual construction on the World War II memorial will be held June 7 in connection with the all-University Commencement luncheon in Hoch auditorium.
A model of the campanile, made by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, '29, director of the Philbrook Art center in Tulsa, will be displayed. The ceremony will mark the attainment of a fund large enough to provide the "skeleton" of the memorial campanile. The fund-raising campaign will be continued.
2 Have Emergency Operations
2. Hare Emergency Operations Marilyn Smart Stockton, College senior, and Ralph Allen Smith, graduate student, underwent emergency appendectomies at Watkins hospital Monday.
Some Will Study, Some Will Play
"Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise.
To scorn delights, and live laborious days."
A certain percentage of the almost 9,000 students at the University will get "the spur" this afternoon for the next seven days of final exams. The percentage is not known.
Ralph Bowman, College sophomore, said. "When I get out of class at 4, I'll start studying to hit the high spots until next Thursday noon. Everything will be out of the way except studying, eating, and sleeping."
However, some facts about student study intentions have been discovered by an informal device called a University Daily Kansan poll.
Almost all students have good intentions about studying.
Another point of view is expressed by William Brown, College senior, "I would like to spend all my time at a local cocktail lounge. It isn't the grade points but the cash that stops me."
Bennie Dautherty, Jr., College freshman, plans to spend lots of
time studying.
"I'm going to review my notes and pick out the most important chapters to study. I'll spend about two days on each subject," he said.
One person, questioned as to whether he would study for final exams or not, replied, "Hell, no. I'm an instructor."
Fred R. McCracken, College junior, when asked what he would study, replied, "Bridge, pinball machines, and beer."
Norman Miller, engineering senior,
said, "I guess I'll keep the old
coffee pot boiling until about 3 a.m. and stay up with it. I'll catch up on my sleep later." This method must have some merit because Norman is an honor student.
William D. Miller, College sophomore, had a word about cramming
"Cramming is impossible except in subjects like history and languages. I plan to hit the notes and get eight house sleep and be fresh in the mornings. Definitely no shows."
And then there was the student who was looking to the future and said, "I haven't time to study. I'm busy packing and planning my vacation."
Anyway, on June 3 the finals will all be over for the studious and the non-studious alike.
Another student said, "Study? Why should I. I can't learn four months work in a week. Besides I'm tired."
