Beasley Wins Speech Event
Kenneth Beasley, College freshman, won the $15 first prize in the campus speaking contest last night in Fraser theater, sponsored by Delta Sigma Rho. His subject was "An Educated Fool."
An educated fool is one who trusts "book learning" rather than common sense, he said.
Frederic Thomas, College junior, won second place, with the subject, "Faculty Shortage and Salary Dollars." Wallace Foster, who placed third, spoke on, "Should a Veteran Join a Fraternity." Each received an edition of the "Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" and "Confrontious" Sayings.
Other entrants and their subjects were Harold Harvey, "Together We Build;" Dorothy Scroggy, "The Question of Western Civilization;" Robert Bock, "To Join or Not To Join;" and Joseph Merritt, "The Greater Challenge."
Judges for the contest were J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school; D M. Swarthout, dean of the Fine Arts school; and Henry Werner, dean of Student Affairs. Allen C. Crafton, of the department of speech and drama was chairman of the contest, which was the last forensic event of the year.

Cold Weather Damages Kansas Wheat
Temperatures which deeped to 27 degrees and lower in western Kansas damaged wheat in test plots at Garden City. Inspecting the results here are, left to right, Alvin Lowe, Harold Stout, and L. M. Sloan. The wheat crop previously had been hurt by drought.
Operators Reject Welfare Fund
Washington (UP)—Soft coal operators today rejected John L. Lewis' demand for a $70,000,000 welfare fund on the ground that it was "a new social theory and philosophy."
It ended whatever small hope there was that the miners and operators could go to the White House with an agreement today—as requested by President Truman last week.
The operators' decision forced the prolonged wage negotiations into a new deadlock. It was disclosed in a statement read to Lewis and other United Mine Workers leaders at the opening of today's bargaining conference.
Lewis' demand involved a seven per cent payroll assessment. Miners would not have to contribute to the fund, but the union would administer it.
The operators said the union had proposed no restrictions upon the expenditure of the money and that the industry "unequivocally rejects" the proposal.
William Kornhous, Jr., who enrolled as a College freshman for the spring semester and withdrew March 1, suffered a mangle hand from the blast. Kornhaus' home is at 1043 Indiana street.
Former Student Killed In Explosion
Edsall Cantwell, College freshman last semester, was killed in a chemical shop he had improvised in the garage of his parents' home, 3723 Gillham Road, Kansas City, Mo.
Cantwell, who was majoring in chemical engineering, lived at 1332 Louisiana street while attending the University. During vacations, he manufactured fireworks at his home, earning a large part of his University expenses.
Jay James To Announce New Members Next Week
Relatives said he had obtained an order for 1,000 gross of firecrackers from a Kansas City fireworks distributor, and presumed he was operating a machine devised for their manufacture at the time of the explosion. He was killed instantly.
The blast ripped off the roof of the brick garage, and shattered windows within a 100-foot radius.
New members_elected to Jay Janes University women's pep organization, will be announced after the last in a series of membership teas Monday afternoon, Virginia Wickert, president, said today.
