'Paw' Kloepper Overshadows Pilot And 'Ham' Progenies
Dean Kloepper, a high school senior from Lancaster, is probably the first contestant to fly his own plane to Lawrence to compete in the preliminary Summerfield scholarship tests.
Dean, 18, owns a Piper Cub and has had a student pilot's license since he was 17. He lives on a farm near Lancaster and has a landing strip and hangar on a nearby clover field. Flies Father To Meetings
His father is on the board of trustees at Midland college in Nebraska, and Dean hauls him to and from board meetings regularly. These trips and business trips to Oklahoma and over Kansas keep Dean in the air most of the time.
The "ham" is Robert Kloepper, an assistant instructor in the physics department, an amateur radio fan. Robert with his ham set contacted his father at Lancaster who also has a radio set, about weather conditions there. Conditions were bad and Dean waited until Tuesday to go home.
Kloepger Intervenes
Dean flew to Lawrence March 17, took the tests the next day and was ready to fly back that evening until the "team" intervened.
Robert built the radio set at the farm home before he went into the army. Then, when he was discharged last fall, he couldn't talk his father out of the set, so he built another when he came to Lawrence. Both sets have been assigned call letters by the Federal Communications commission.
Technician In Army
Robert was in the army two and one-half years as a radio technician. In his spare time, while stationed in Manila, he built a radio set and had it licensed with the Philippine Commonwealth government under the call letters KA1AP.
His father/with help of amateur relay radio stations in Hawaii, Guam,
and Okinawa, sent messages which Robert was able to pick up with his set in Manila. "Fear." Not Outdone

"Paw" Not Outdone
In fact "Paw" Kloepper, not to be outdone by either of his sons in the hobby field, has talked to amateurs in Hawaii, England, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Guam, South Africa, Canada, and several South and Central American countries.
All of which leaves us wondering what Mrs. Kleoeper does in her spare time. Maybe she collects atom bombs or something.
'Are You Haptical, Visual Or Between?'
State College, Pa.—(UP)—Dr. Viktor Lowenfeld, professor of art education at Pennsylvania State college, believes every person is either hapital, visual or in-between.
A baptical person works primarily through the sense of touch. A visual, according to Dr. Lowenfeld, uses his eyes for observation and possesses unusual ability to visualize details.
While riding in a train, a haptical sees merely pieces of landscape through the moving train window. The visual is able to integrate these pieces in his mind into one landscape," he explained.
The professor believes that the haptical would be the better person for mechanical jobs, where skillful fingers are needed.
Miss Anderson Speaks To P-T Club
Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech, spoke on speech therapy at the Physical Therapy club last night in the hospital classroom. Miss Anderson is a member of the speech correction department of the student health program.
Inter-Dorm Council To Discuss Powers
The Women's Inter-dorm council will vote at their next meeting on the question of executive power over all organized houses. According to the present constitution, the council may only recommend and has no actual jurisdiction over houses.
"The executive power will be of special use in setting up new dormitories," said Bonnie Chestnut, president of the council. "We will have specific rules for the new house and they will not have to rely on their own judgment."
To obtain executive powers, the council must amend the constitution and must have the approval of the dean of women, Miss Chestnut said.
More than 18,000 veterans in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma applied to the Veterans administration during March for education and training benefits under the G. I. Bill.
