KU Glass Blower Entertains Governor With Glass Jayhawk
The glass bubble popped and there stood Gov. Frank Carlson in the K.U. booth at the Hutchinson State fair.
"I had blown a large bubble on the end of a tube from which I was making a vase when I saw the governor approaching the booth," said Fred Rustenbach, University glass blower.
"If I had released the pressure, the bubble would have fallen to the floor, but because the bursting glass bubbles were one of the interesting features of the exhibit, I flipped the tube with my finger. The bubble popped and the crowd's attention was drawn to the governor. Everybody thought it was timed that way," he related.
Gave Away Glass Jayhawks
Governor Carlson expressed his appreciation in a letter to Mr. Rustenbach for a glass Jayhawk blown for him, and invited him to the mansion.
Mr. Rustenbach, who made and gave away more than five hundred intricate pyrex Jayhawks and swans, attracted large crowds to the K. U. booths at the Kansas Free fair and the State fair.

Besides the glass blower, the University Research foundation booth exhibited a display showing the manufacture of plastics from wheat straw and chemicals. Forty-four chemicals, only a few which are made from natural gas were shown. The geological display showed the use of Kansas clays for building materials.
The public relations department was represented by Tom Yoe, director.
Cold? These Mugs Will Turn On Heat
Are you cold? Do your teeth clatter so loud you can't hear the professor's most world-shaking remarks? That condition will be remedied soon, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and courts.
Usually it gets cold enough to turn on the steam during the last week in September or the first week of October, Mr. Bayles said. They always try to have everything ready.
Ise Will Discuss The Oil Industry
John Ise, professor of economics, will give a series of speeches on the oil industry before the Consumer's Cooperative association at its headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., Monday, Tuesday, Sept. 29 and 30, and Oct. 3.
Members of the International School for Co-operative Petroleum administrators will attend. This organization includes members of cooperatives in a number of European countries who are here to study problems of the U.S. oil industry.
His experience in the economics of oil, Professor Ise said, came as a result of his being called to Washington in the fall of 1939 to head the Temporary National Economic commission.
Professor Ise will speak on "The Organization of the Oil Industry" and "Prices and Profits in the Oil Industry." On Oct. 3, he will appear on a panel to discuss the entire problem of the industry.
French, English Exams To Be Given
The first of four examinations in a reading knowledge of French and German for the degree of doctor of philosophy will be given Oct. 11, by the Graduate School. The examinations will consist of written translations of passages from the candidate's own field.
Candidates taking the examination should register at the office of the Graduate School not later than two weeks before their examination.
At the moment, men are busy connecting steam pipes, after which it will be necessary to service all radiators and check all lines and connections in the tunnels. The line from the power plant to Blake hall has not yet been completed, but it is hoped to have it ready by the first of October.

'Please Enter Quietly;
Everyone Here Is Dead'
Beauvais, France, —(UP)—A friend who went to call on Lucien Beauvais, found on the door a staircase with "the" on it quietly, "Everyone here is dead."
Aeronautics Club Elects Officers
They were. Beauvais had killed his wife and three children with a hammer and then hanged himself.
The University chapter of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences elected fall officers Monday night in the quozen behind Marvin hall.
The new officers are W. F. Armstrong, re-elected president; Ralph V. Ward, vice-president; Paul H. Jackson, secretary-treasurer; and Earl W. Snowden, intramural manager.
Motion pictures of the University's football victory over Missouri in 1940 were shown the group by Coach "Vic" Bradford.
T. DeWitt Carr, new dean of engineering spoke to the group informally. He stressed the future of aeronautical engineering under the impetus of jet propulsion, radar, the unification of the armed forces, and the opportunities it offers to men trained in that field.
A total of 233 students are enricled in R.O.T.C. courses this semester, Col K. E. Rosebush, professor of military science and tactics, announced today.
This is a marked increase over last year's enrollment of 89, he said. During the war years the R.O.T.C. almost died out as only eight or ten students were taking the courses, ne added.
233 Students Sign For ROTC
"The war seems to have aroused more student interest in R.O.T.C., and they seem to want the compulsion to graduation," Colonel Rosebush said.
This year the R.O.T.C. will sponsor its own intramural teams and also a Persian rifle team. Colonel Rosebush said. The initiation of honor students in the Scabbard and Blade society will be renewed he said. This practice was dropped during the war.
Announcer Job Open On KFKU
Do you have a good background in political science, economics, and history? Do you have a pleasant speaking voice and the ability to think fast under pressure?
If so, there may be a good job waiting for you as master of ceremonies of KFKU, the University radio station, said Miss Mildred Seaman, program director.
Preliminary interviews for the position will be held in 115 Fraser hall, until 5 today. The final auditions are scheduled for 7.30 p.m. tomorrow in the station's studio in the electrical engineering laboratories, Miss Seaman said.
"We need a man who is well read in the social sciences," she explained. "He must have this background so that he will be able to conduct an effective round-table forum. This is more than a straight announcing job."
There will be at least three programs a week and the man selected will be paid by the hour. It is likely that the winning applicant's previous experience and education will be a big factor in setting the hourly rate, Miss Seaman said.

Europe Needs 22 Billion
Washington—(UP) — The United States, armed at last with an estimate of Europe's aid requirements for the next four years, put the huge totals under the microscope today to determine whether they are "reasonable and realistic."
A summary of the Marshall plan report signed by 16 nations at Paris placed the common deficit through 1951 at a minimum of $19,330,000,000 and a top of $22,440,000,000. The lower figure took into account a possible World Bank loan of $3,110,-000,000.
While the summary did not make a specific request for American aid, it pointed out that the trade deficit between the participating countries and the U.S. alone would total about $15,810,000,000.
Recommendations on American aid will be presented to the Senate Foreign Relations committee and the House Foreign Affairs committee. Some government officials already believe that the total may be in the neighborhood of $18,000,000,000 spread over a four-year period.
Packers Face Housewives
Chicago—(UP)—A federal grand jury summoned representative of the nation's big four meat packers—Wilson, Armour, Swift and Cudahy—today to tell why meat prices are so high.
It called the first of 42 meat industry officials subpoenaed in the government's investigation to determine whether a conspiracy exists to force meat prices upwards.
The packing executives and employees faced a critical audience. The 23 grand jurors included 14 housewives who themselves faced the daily problem of feeding families with prices high.
Pickpocket Gets $850
Fort Wayne.—(UP)—George Kayser walked away from the bank with $850 he had received from cashing in some war bonds. A few minutes later after getting off a crowded elevator he felt in his pocket and the money was gone.
Storm Speeds Northeast Across Florida Peninsula
Miami, Fla.—(UP) — A second tropical storm lashed into the Florida Gulf coast with winds up to 60 miles an hour today and the weather bureau said it would cross the peninsula and reach Daytona Beach on the east coast by noon.
Northeast storm warnings were extended north from Fernandina. Fla., to Moultrieville, S.C., and small craft were advised to remain in port as far north as Cape Hatteras, N.C.
The new storm as yet lacked the fury of the hurricane which cost south Florida $50,000,000 damage last week and then slammed into the Louisiana - Mississippi gulf coast, taking between 50 and 60 lives and leaving thousands homeless.
Orleans Parish, which includes New Orleans, reported a death toll of 11. However, the fabled Louisiana seaport city was menaced by danger of typhoid as an aftermath of the hurricane and four immunization centers were set up and D.D.T. crews began spraying the Gulf coast to present wide-spread outbreak of disease.
Sofia, Bulgaria—(UP)—The Bulgarian government announced today that it had hanged Nikola Petkov, the opposition leader whose execution the United States had said would jeopardize the establishment of representative, democratic government in Bulgaria.
The United States had taken the Petkov issue to the Kremlin in an effort to have his trial investigated. The U.S. wanted to make sure it was not the case of the fatherland front government—which the Communists dominate—liquidating the head of the opposition. Petkov was leader of the Agrarian party.
