More than 15 students will be selected for 1947-48 fellowships in chemistry by April 1, Dr. R. Q. Brewster, chairman of the chemistry department, said today.

Nash Memorial Clinic Proposed For City
Plans for a child guidance clinic as a memorial to the late Dr. Bert A Nash are being proposed by the Council of Social Agencies in Lawrence.
Dr. Nash, a professor of educational psychology, died Feb. 18 of a cerebral hemorrhage suffered while he was addressing the Lion's club at the Eldridre hotel.
Dr. Nash had been vitally interested in a revised system of child guidance. According to Mrs. Marge S. Stockton, secretary of the council and wife of Dean F. T. Stockton of the School of Business, a new clinic would be the best way of repaying some of the debt owed Dr. Nash for his years of service to the children and young people of Lawrence.
In a letter to Dr. J. M. Mott, cath health director, Mrs. Stockton asked that the question of a child guidance clinic be brought before the Douglas county medical association for approval at its next meeting March 11.
Establishment of the clinic would rest on the availability of a child psychiatrist.

Robert Corwin, K.U.'s latest campus patrolman, took a traffic violator to Lawrence city police court Wednesday morning. After his charge left, Patrolman Corwin remained in his seat to watch the proceedings.
Corwin is an ex-GI, and the only difference between his self-made uniform and a buck private's is the small insignia on his cap. Also, Mr. Corwin just joined the force this week. $ \textcircled{1} $
So no one but Mr. Corwin was surprised when the magistrate looked sternly at him and asked, "Soldier, do you have a parking ticket?"
"No sir," Patrolman Corwin replied. "I'm just the officer that brought the other fellow in."
The magistrate and the new law officer were introduced and everything was fine. Mr. Corwin is back directing cars, at peace with the world and the Lawrence police department.

with what we invest in ourselves."
Dr. Poling told of his son, army chaplain Lt. Clark V. Poling, and other chaplains, one Jewish, one Catholic, and the other Protestant, who lost their lives by giving their life belts to men escaping from a sinking transport.
"We have there a unity that transcends all differences," declared Dr. Poling. "We have there—America!"
Quoting from one of his own poems, he said, "Their time was youth, and their youth they gave to time . . . let us keep the faith and make the peace a world wide brotherhood."
Referring to a current best-seller, Dr. Polling said, "It is a fine book, and yet, to me, it is one of the major tragedies of a long decade, because it is negative. I resent the wholesale and unmitigated indictment of America today by writers of fiction and publishers who prostrate their trade. This brings deadly and irreparable disaster to thousands."
"In Oregon in my early days," he said, "I began saying every day to myself these two words, 'I believe'. I believe in myself, my friends, and my country. You cannot say those words without lifting your chin and squaring your shoulders."
Dr. Poling, a member of the staff of the Chief of Chaplains during the war, made six overseas missions, totaling 151,000 miles, in all active theaters of war He has a war department citation for work as correspondent for the Philadelphia Record, the Christian Herald. He has been editor in chief of the latter since 1929.
Frequently working in cooperation with top-ranking officials, he often carried letters from the president and the chief of staff on his extended trips.
Washington. — (UF)—Because of rising prices, the purchasing power of the dollar dropped by 15 cents in the year ended Jan. 15, labor department figures showed today.
Dollar Has Dropped 15 Cents In Year
Going back still further, the figures show that your dollar today will buy goods and services which cost only 66 cents on Jan. 15, 1941, the base date of wartime stabilization.
Since Jan. 15, wholesale and retail prices have begun to climb upward again. Some labor department sources believe the rise will continue steadily, though not rapidly, to a new high level by next June.
