Two scholarship awards of $75 each were presented to Barbara Meyer, Kansas City, Mo., freshman in fine arts, and Miss Phyllis Farrell, Marysville, Kan., senior in home economics, at the Missouri-Kansas state meeting of the Delta Delta Delta, Saturday, at the Hotel Continental.
The competition is open to all girls on the campus. Scholarship awards are given on the basis of scholarship character, and outside activities.
Mrs. Frank Carlson, wife of the governor of Kansas, who was guest of honor, presented the award to Miss Meyer. The second award will be sent to Miss Farrell, who was not present.
The entire membership of the K.U. chapter, 45 members, was present for the all-day meeting, the first Kansas-Missouri state day since 1937.

Carey Will Explain Volcanic Ash Glaze
J. Sheldon Carey, assistant professor of ceramics, will explain his process of utilizing ansas volcanic ash as a pottery glaze, at the annual meetings of the American Ceramic society beginning today in Atlantic City.
Professor Carey has developed a low-cost base glaze suitable for commercial production, and is now conducting experiments for using volcanic ash in color glazes. This volcanic ash, found in great quantities in western Kansas, costs about five per cent less than other glazes.

Jean McGavran Went To Coed's Boarding School In Himalayas
COED'S CORNER
She knows as much about exotic India as most of us know about our own hometowns.
Jean McGavran, Watkins hall, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. D. A. McGavran' missionaries to India from the Christian church. Jean, was born in Naini Tal, a village in the United Province, in India, and in India she remained until 1944 but for two brief furloughs in the U.S.
Schooled in Himalayas
"I went to school at Woodstock, an American coeducational boarding school in the northern Himalayas. All roads from there led either up or down, so when people talk of the Hill here, it's just a slope to me!
"The semester system is different in India. We went up to Woodstock in March and came down in December to spend the vacation months with our parents who were stationed about a thousand miles away in the United Province."
Jean and her sister Helen began kindergarten at the same time and continued there through grade and high school.
"We've always been in the same grade together; it's more companionable that way. We're almost like twins."
The McGavran "twins" came to the states in 1944 during the war.
"We sailed on a troop ship via Australia and the Panama to Boston. It was a circuitous route, but I guess it was safer that way. We didn't have any chance for sightseeing, though.
"As civilians, we were not permitted to leave the ship, whereas the

officers got off at every port and came back with perfumes, jewelry and other souvenirs."
"Two uncles and my father are all doctors. It is common for missionaries in India to be doctors, because of the vital need for medical care there."
Jean says the McGavran family is running over with doctors.
Plenty Of Doctors
Belles And Their Weddings
Right now, Jean is "holding her breath for six weeks" when she expects to see her parents for the first time in three years.
"They left a few days ago, on a ship bound for the United States. It will be grand to see them again. And, naturally, I'm eager to see how my little sisters Winnie and Pat have changed. They were eight and six when I last saw them, and they change in a hurry at that age."

not regress. The reading clinic owns three of the devices. Two are small and are used individually, while the third is large enough to be used with a class of 20 persons. The clinic has enough rolls that no student ever reads the same one twice.
April 20 to 26 has been named as "National Service Life Insurance Week" by a proclamation from Mayor C. B. Russell of Lawrence.
"Unfortunately, our large machine is now in the factory being repaired, but it will be back in a few days in clinic," Joseph Holly, clinic counselor said.
Metronoscope Used To Help Slow Readers
The metronoscope, an electrical device used by the reading clinic, is devised to stop regression, common fault of slow readers.
Leaders of the community will emphasize the advantages of National Service Life insurance to all veterans of World War II, and especially to those who have permitted their insurance to lapse.
Barbara Varner, Margaret Lawler, and Margaret Foster wearing white carnations and staphanotis corsages, assisted in the ceremony which took place during dinner. Mrs. Dean Alt, housemother, wore a gardenia corsage. Traditional chocolates were passed.

trait of slow readers.
The device consists of a roll which can be regulated at any rate between 15 to 50 lines a minute. This roll exposes each line of approximately eight words for a small time in such a way that the student's eyes cannot regress, or jump back.
Students Present Engineering Topics
Four student papers discussing practical applications of electrical engineering principles were read at an American Institute of Electrical Engineers meeting recently.
Dale Runner, engineering junior, read a paper on electrical machines for the solution of simultaneous linear equations. Such a machine can solve linear equations up to 12 unknowns from four to seven times faster than an expert using ordinary arithmetic methods, Runner said.
Charles Irwin, engineering senior, discussed the apparatus used in the radar blind landing system. This system enables planes to land safely when visibility is extremely limited, and should be an important factor in reducing air line accidents, Irwin declared.
John Marggrave, engineering junior, read a paper on the advantages and properties of the coaxial cable, which is capable of carrying high frequencies, and greatly improves the effectiveness of television and high velocity telephone systems. Marggrave said.
