Campus Briefs
Student Loans Go Begging
Campus prosperity is reflected by the small demand for student loans, said Karl Klooz, bursar.
Commenting on a report given before the Student Loan committee recently, Mr. Klooz said that the $400 loaned since July 1 shows that fewer students are in need of financial aid.
Loans up to $100 are made from a fund of $25,000 which was started from donations by the class of 1896. They are for a period of one year and may be renewed under unusual circumstances.
Freshmen, except those in their second semester, and first year students who do not have exceptionally good grades are ineligible for loans. A "C" average or better must be maintained by those securing loans and co-signers are required.
members of the committee are Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, chairman, Mr. Klooz; J. O. Jones, professor of hydraulics; J. K. Hitt, registrar; L. T. Tupy, professor of law; Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women; Miss Maude Elliott, assistant professor of Romance languages.
To Hold Tryouts For 'Blythe Spirit'
Tryouts for parts in "Blythe Spirit" will be held at 7 p.m. today and tomorrow in the Little theater of Green hall.

Beeler Wins First Prize For Engineering Article
Joe Beeler, engineering senior, has been notified that his article, "Dams, Ditches, and Dynamos," has received first award for articles appearing in college engineering magazines in the United States.
The article, which appeared in the 1947 Kansas Engineer, was written on the Missouri Valley plan.
About 20 foreign students attended the hay rack ride and weiner roast sponsored by the International club Wednesday night.
Beeler will receive a plaque as an award for his article. The award is sponsored by Engineering College Magazine Associated.
"These students, particularly the Scandinavians, were impressed with this popular institution, although many had been on similar rides in their native countries." Marilyn Rust president, said today.

'K-State Brand Is Not Violation Of Peace Pact'
The Aggie's brand—K.S.—which was burned into the grass near the south goal post in the stadium this week does not constitute a violation of the University-Kansas State peace pact, James Waugh, president of the All Student Council, said today.
"This act was not destructive enough to warrant any action being taken by the A.S.C." Waugh added.
The branding appears to have been done sometime Monday night. The "K" had been burned into the grass with gasoline (the can was still there), but the "S" was only partly finished which leads officials to believe that the raider, or raiders, were frightened away.
Painting the statue of "Uncle Jimmy" Green that stands in front of Green hall has been an Aggie objective in previous years. However, it was learned today from a reliable news source that if the painting is tried this year, the culprits may get caught.
Last year's pilgrimage from Manhattan to paint "Uncle Jimmy" 'anded 12 Kansas-State pranksters in the city jail after a night watchman scared them to a halt by firing several shots.
Health Group To Convene
The South Central Section of the American Student Health association will meet for the first time since the war at Watkins hospital Saturday morning.
Officers will be elected, and Chancellor Deane W. Malott will give a welcoming address. Dr.C. C. McDonald, chairman of the health service committee at the University of Wichita, will preside.
Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska are represented in the South Central Section of the association.
Schools in Kansas to be represented at the meeting are Kansas State, Pittsburgh State Teachers college, Bethel college, Wichita university, Ottawa university, and the University of Kansas.
Half Of Band In Game Parade
Because of a shortage of uniforms the University band will not parade in full strength at the Kansas State game Saturday.
A marching band of 64 members will be used at the Kansas State game with the remaining 61 members playing from the sidelines.
One-hundred twenty-five new uniforms were ordered for the band last spring. Failure of the tailors to receive cloth has caused a delay in delivery, Professor Wiley said.
Plan Inter-Dorm Dinners, Teas
Women's Inter-Dorm council met Tuesday in the Union for a combined dinner and business meeting.
Closing hours-after concerts were discussed. Ten thirty closing hours on concert nights have been extended to one-half hour after the end of the concert if it is not over by 10.
Virginia Patch, social committee chairman, appointed Hortense Bedell, Dorothy Jones, Nancy Kastman, Lucile Ralston, Jean Rankin, and Barbara Stapleton to a social committee.
Within two weeks exchange dinners will begin among independent dormitories and will be made two or three times a semester.
A scholarship tea will be sponsored by the Inter-Dorm council and Pan-Hellenic league in the middle of November. At this tea two scholarship cups will be awarded to the woman's dormitory and Greek house which had the highest scholarship last year.

Thiel Displays Piano Mastery
By Anna Mary Murphy
Erhard Thiel, pianist and new member of the Fine Arts faculty, presented the fourth Faculty recital last night before a large audience in Frank Strong auditorium.
During the program Mr. Thiel displayed a technical mastery which showed careful training. His strength and endurance stood up well under the demands of a rather grueling program.
Nervous At Start
The artist's playing of Beethoven's "Appassionata Sonata" seemed to lack the depth of feeling which might be desired in certain movements. Neverthless, it was a great improvement over the Bach. Builds Up At End
However, Mr. Thiel appeared nervous as he began his program with Bach's "Concerto in the Italian Style". As a result, he skipped several passages and his rhythm was uneven.
The audience seemed to sense that Mr. Thiel was building up to the latter portion of his program. His more than adequate interpretation of Chopin's "Barcarolle" and "Etude in C Sharp Minor" confirmed this feeling.
Mr. Thiel's playing of the last group of Debussy numbers, including "Goldfish," "Reflections in the Water," and "Fire-Works," demonstrated that he prefers and is much more effective in the modern impressionistic style. An appreciative audience brought Mr. Thiel back for an encore, Debussy's "Girl with the Flaxen Hair."
Oregon Governor Dies In Plane Crash
Dog Lake, Cal. — (UP) — Forest rangers reached the wreckage of Gov. Earl Snell's plane today and reported that Snell and his three companions were dead.
The message confirmed that the Oregon governor, his immediate successor, senate president Marshall Cornett, secretary of state Robert S. Farrrell, Jr., and pilot Cliff Hogue were killed in the crash during a goose-hunting vacation flight from Klamath Falls Tuesday night.
The wreckage of the plane had been previously sighted from the air.
With the deaths of Snell and Cornett confirmed, Oregon's next governor will be the third in succession—John P. Hall, Portland lawyer and speaker of the state house of representatives.
The assembly met in a critical session to take a vote of confidence in the government, which was caught in the squeeze between the Communists and Gen. Charles De Gaulle's resurgent political movement.
Last minute indications as the delegates took their seats were that Ramadier would come through with a narrow majority and win at least a brief respite for his coalition cabinet.
Paris (UP)—The powerful Popuiar Republican party pledged its 162 votes in the national assembly to Premier Paul Ramadier today when the chamber met for a showdown vote on the life or death of his middle-of-the-road cabinet.
