Shane Receives Tau Beta Pi Fellowship
Pressson S. Shane, senior engineer, has been awarded a fellowship for 1941-42 by the national organization of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering society.
Shane, a major in the R. O. T. C. here, said yesterday that his plans for next year depend on whether he is called to active duty when he receives his reserves officer's commission in June.

Draft Plays No Favorites
"We have received no notice of any preferential treatment to be given to college students," said a spokesman of the Douglas County draft board yesterday, clarifying the situation of college men who are facing an early draft.
"Douglas County has in training at the present time more than 400 men. We have not as yet selected or drafted a single man, and we have on file voluntary applications for many more volunteers than can be placed."
At present the draft board has sent questionnaires to 223 men, but none of these have been drafted as yet.
"Go ahead and lead a normal life and don't worry about being drafted," was the parting advice.
Drake Asks For Queen Candidate
The University of Kansas has been invited to enter a candidate in the race for Queen of the Drake Relays to be held April 25-26.
The contest is sponsored by the editors of "Quax," the Drake yearbook. Invitations to enter a candidate for Queen have been issued to yearbook editors of schools which will participate in the relays.
The candidates will be judge from photographs and from information furnished on questionnaires. The method for choosing the University candidate has not been decided upon as yet.

At Exposition
A carnival atmosphere will prevail at the Engineering Exposition, April 18 and 19, according to word from the mechanical engineering department.
Herman Barkmann, senior engineer, announced yesterday that if present plans materialize, among the department's contributions to the exposition will be a Loop-O-Plane and a model airport complete with wind tunnel models.
Other exhibits will feature the manufacture of rolling pins, a popcorn popper which will reverse the regular procedure and pop a single grain at a time, and small foundry which will produce souvenir Jayhawks throughout the exposition.
Fraternity Thief Still At Large
"There is little chance of catching the thief," said Jude Anderson, chief of the Lawrence police, yesterday when questioned about the thief who robbed five fraternity houses early Wednesday morning.
About two weeks ago someone entered several fraternity houses at Kansas State College of Manhattan and robbed them in much the same manner the houses were robbed here. At that time Police Chief Anderson notified all fraternity and sorority houses on the campus to lock their doors and put their money away.
Anderson believes the same thief is responsible for the thefts here and at Kansas State. In both cases only money was taken.
About once a year this may be expected, said Anderson. An itinerant theft will make the rounds of all universities and colleges in the locality, stealing from fraternities which are easy to enter.
