He Can Already Fly, So Now He Wants To Be A Doctor
John H. Standfield is one student in the College who can show the aeronautical engineers what to do. A senior who will go into the School of Medicine next fall, Standfield is supervisor of $ ^{*} $the aeronautical engineering laboratories.
It is difficult to imagine Standfield as a prospective doctor, rather than
nineer. He has logged over
Instructed During The War
2,000 hours flying time, holds a civil aeronautics license as an aircraft mechanic, and another as a ground instructor in aerial navigation and engines.
During the war he was an instructor in PT-17's and 19-'s and AT-6's for army air force cadets taking primary training. He was also a member of the civil air patrol, and has had three years of college engineering courses.
Standfield has a ready explanation for those who ask him why he is not in the School of Engineering. He says that he is tired of flying.
His work with airplanes is now limited to time spent in the aeronautical engineering department, and in getting enough flying time to keep his license. The aeronautical department provides him with all the extra-curricular activity he can afford, he said.
Assembled Jet Plane
Example, during Christmas vacation Stanfield assembled a German jet plane sent here in pieces, from Wright field. While spectators were enjoying the same jet plane at the Engineering expoion April 16 and 17, Stanfield and students in the department of aeronautical engineering worked to keep it and other exhibits in operation.
Stanfield says that although medicine is dominant in his plans for the future, aeronautical mechanics still appeal to him. The laboratory offers him a number of engines with mechanical defects to be corrected, and new type engines give him a chance to get away from dissecting to assembling.
Those who question Stanfield's choice in majoring in medicine can look at his 2.4 grade average in chemistry and change the subject.
Stanfield lives in Lawrence and is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, social fraternity.
Baptist Foundation Elects Officers
Bryan Sperry, College sophomore and Loren B. Corliss, College priorior, were elected president and vicepresident of the Roger William's foundation Sunday at the Baptist church.
Officers of the Baptist Youth fellowship, evening group of the Roger William's foundation, were also chosen. They are Wesley Hall, president; Dana Johnson, vice president; Virginia Slagle, secretary-treasurer; Dale W. Fields, publicity chairman; Helen Stringham, program chairman; R. L. Morgan, clean-up chairman; Nita Brewster, foods chairman; Bob Meacham, song leader; Pearl Leigh, and Bridge Gillisie, recreation committee; and Dale Theobald, membership chairman.
Officers of the morning group are Meacham, president; Martha Oatman, vice-president; and Betty Slegle, secretary-treasurer.
Fishel To Attend Omaha Conference
V. C. Fishel, engineer in charge of the federal Geological Survey, will attend the meeting of the Missouri basin federal inter-agency river basin in sub-competee on hydrologic data which will be held in Omaha next week.
Representatives of all federal organizations interested in the Missouri basin project are attending. Mr. Fishel will present data which he has collected concerning the Missouri basin dams being constructed in Kansas.
State and federal Geological surveys of Lawrence are among the organizations which are co-operating with the bureau of reclamation on the projects of which these are approximately nine in Kansas either finished, prepared, or in the process of being built.
The Missouri basin project is being constructed for the purpose of flood control, irrigation, prevention of soil erosion, and the preservation of wild life.
Forty-six men will be initiated into Sigma Tan, honorary engineering fraternity, at 5:45 p.m. May 10 at the Castle Tea room. The complete list of initiates will be announced at the Honors convocation, May 11.
Sigma Tau Frat To Initiate 46
A banquet will follow the initiation. B. J. George, industrial engineer for the Kansas City Power and Light company, Kansas City, Mo, will speak on "Professional Aspects of Engineering."
Dalton Eash, engineering senior and president of Sigma Tau, will be toastmaster at the banquet. The welcome to new members will be given by Oliver Edwards, engineering senior.
The honorary fraternity chapter was established at K.U. in 1915, and now includes 59 active members and 13 faculty members.
Fifteen men, five of them University students, are registered to take the law school admission test which will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday in 9 Frank Strong hall.
Guidance Bureau To Give Law Test
The testing service is being given by the guidance bureau, an agency or the college entrance examination board at Princeton, N.J. The guidance bureau is the only center in Kansas and western Missouri which is giving the test.
Results will be sent to the law school which the men plan to attend. The University School of Law does not require the test.
Three Kansas Towns Have Purer Water Since Their Wells Keep Out Minerals
A report by Charles C. Williams, "Contamination of Deep Water Wells in Southeastern Kansas," has been released by the state Geological Survey. It includes data on pumping tests made at the three cities and analyses of the water in their wells.
Three cities in Crawford county now have purer water since their municipal water wells have been repaired to keep out highly mineralized water. The cities are Arma, McCune, and Cherokee.
Also released by the Survey is a report on a rapid, inexpensive technique for use in the development of oil field brines.
The report also includes some of the problems which southeastern Kansas cities face with water from deep artesian wells. According to the publication, casings of wells drilled through rock formations bearing highly mineralized water should be cemented.
Most of the wells in Kansas oil fields yield, after two years, about as much salt water as oil. The disposal of this brine is an important phase in the Kansas oil industry. By the use of graphs estimates of the composition of the brines can be made.
The professors are; N. H. Sherwood, professor, Cora M. Downs, professor, E. L. Treece, associate professor, and Arthur Shanahan, assistant professor.
Four University bacteriology professors will attend the annual convention of the Society of American Bacteriologist in Minneapolis May 10-14.

Call K. U. 251 With Your News
Milwaukee—(UP)—When an ex-boxer made a pest of himself in a tavern, the bartender called police. Two detectives arrived. The "tough" guy took a look at one of the officers.
Drunk Looks Just Once,
Then Turns And Goes Home
"Johnny Teevan!" he muttered, and walked out quietly.
Spectators who were long-time ring fans remembered that the belligerent one had been knocked out by Teevan in th first round of a prize fight in 1923.
