(continued from page one)
room, located in the electrical engineering laboratory, has recently been remodeled and refurbished. KFKU is under the direction of Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division. R. P. Stringham, of the department of electrical engineering, is the chief engineer in charge of the station. Student operators for KFKU this year are John Pfouts, engineering senior, and Harold Timmerman, engineering sophomore. Lee Baker, V-12 student in electrical engineering, is the student announcer. Dolores Sulzman, College junior, takes care of all public work. KFKU shares time with WREN, Lawrence commercial station, on the frequency of 1250 kilocycles with 5,000 watts power.
Regular School Began in 1925
KFKU began broadcasting on a regular schedule on Jan. 5, 1925, with lectures from almost every department in the University along with courses in elementary Spanish and general psychology which were given with credit with correspondence study assignments.
Station KFKU has pioneered in many fields of broadcasting. In 1925, a leased wire from Topeka to the studio control room enabled the station to bring the proceedings of the state legislature to the listening audience. In the following year, 1826, a broadcast by Prof. H. P. Cady on the sound of an atom focused the attention of the nation to the University.
The two shows, "Your Kansas Government" and "Kansas Unlimited," being carried by the Kansas State Network, are KFKU's most recent venture.

Ashton to Speak in Topeka

By EARL BARNEY, KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
It's About Time—
After long years of pushing, complaining, and threatening, the Big Six has at last come out of its athletic hibernation and has legalized the recruiting of athletes in the immediate area of the colleges themselves. Just as one commentator has put it, the league was rapidly becoming the "little half-dozen" instead of even holding its own.
holding its own.
What the league fathers have actually done is given the respective coaches the go-sign to get out and keep "foreign conferences" from raiding their four-state hunting grounds. In the past few years, scouts, and even the coaches themselves from respectable conferences to our south (and east), were about as thick in these parts as flies around an open jug of molasses. Now perhaps K.U. and K-State will be able to play winning football, in view of the possibilities uncovered in state high school play this year.
Countless Prospects
Upon casting an inquiring eye in and around Kansas high schools, your correspondent has noticed these players who have gained state-wide recognition during the season just completed. Bob Knight, massive 225-pound fullback of the powerful Salina Maroons this fall, would be an asset to any collegiate eleven . . . and what about speedy Lu Grimes, rated Manhattan high's logical successor to Ronnie Webster, and Bill Tierney, smart little quarterback of Rosedale's undefeated grid eleven. George Gerner, his running mate at Guard, also deserves special recognition. Continuing on down the list . . . Joe Bednar, of Ward; Duane Hosman, of Wyandotte; quarterback G, of Hutchinson; Bill Buford, Wichita East, end; Hervey Wright, fullback, and Waymond Alumbaugh, center, of Topeka high school. Going out into the western part of the state we would find such fine prospects as Jack Hague of Oberlin, rated the best back since Elmer Hackney; Dick Tomlinson, Dodge City, back; and Chet Hayden and Bob Williams of Stafford's championship SWKL eleven.
Look to the Future
These, of course, are only a few. But they should be enough to prove to anyone that there are plenty of football players in our own state who will be able to hold their own in even the stiffest college competition. In past years many of these
outstanding performers went to other schools outside our own circuit. Now, with Big Six rules 'relaxed' to the point where they at least have become sensible, K.U. and Kansas State football is bound to improve.
Britisher Will Explain Government's Action
Washington—INS)—Richard Law, minister of state in the British foreign office is on his way to Washington today to explain to American officials the British position in the troublesome areas of Italy and Greece. Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius last week rebuked the British government for vetoning the appointment of Count Carlo Sforza as foreign minister in the Italian cabinet and for military interference in Greece.
Supreme Court Work Explained by Judge In KFKU Broadcast
The general nature of the work of the Kansas state supreme court is the review of cases appealed from district courts of the state, Justice Homer Hoch said Tuesday night for a broadcast over station KFKU.
broadcast over a network. In answer to questions asked by Prof. W. E. Sandelius of the political science department, Justice Hoch discussed the organization and functions of the state supreme court.
"The supreme court is not a trier of facts; it determines whether a trial court has made some mistake of law to the prejudice of the defeated party," he said. The decisions of the court are final unless a federal question is involved.
The supreme court holds a formal session once a month for five days, and mya sit in two divisions. All seven justices need not act in every case, but every decision is the opinion of the majority of the members of the court, Justice Hoch said.
1. Sound powered telephone system—with 2200 instruments connecting all battle stations. These battle phones operate on current generated by the speaker's voice, so damage to the ship's electrical power supply cannot interrupt communications.
When U. S. warships go into action, telephone equipment transmits orders instantly, clearly. For the huge battleship "Wisconsin," Western Electric supplied two systems using equipment designed by Bell Telephone Laboratories.
Helping to supply "battle talk" equipment for use at sea, on land and in the air is providing important work for many college graduates—both men and women-at Western Electric.
