Hay, Henry Describe Modern Air Work Over Station KFKU
Taking to the airwaves today to describe modern aeronautical work were Earl C Hay, professor of mechanical engineering and head of the CAA program here, and Howard Henry, professor of mechanical engineering.
In a half hour broadcast at 3 o'clock over radio station KFKU, they told of the progress of aeronautical engineering, and the future possibilities in that field.
The program was conducted on a sort of "Information Please" basis, with Henry asking the questions and Hay answering.

Claassen Burns As Men Singers Return Today
By GRAY DORSEY
The Men's Glee Club arrived back on the Hill at 1:30 today after a five-day trip to Salina, Russell, Ellis, Wakeeney, Garden City, Scott City, Dighton, and Hoisington. The quartet composed of Bill McIntire, Bob Jenkins, Victor Miller, and John Naff made a side trip to sing in Ness City while the club was in Dighton. The boys report an epidemic of puffed eyes but no fatalities. Following is a story written from Hoisington after the concert there last night.
The girls in the Home Economics department here cooked and served dinner for the club this evening. As the boys rose to leave, Lander dutifully squared off to make a speech of appreciation. Just as he opened his mouth some snake in the bushes gave forth with a most tremendous bu-u-r-r-rp. The girls retired in confusion, the boys piled out in bedlam, and Lander resigned in a huff.
Hoisington, March 20—(Special)—Lander Claassen today resigned, as of immediately, as president of the Glee Club. He claims somebody done him wrong.
The Glee Club is really on the beam now. We've had a poem written about us. To prove somebody loves us, here it is:
The Singing Ambassadors
A toast I would offer, out here
neath the blue.
Of vaulted skies blending each shadow and hue.
Not to him who would travel the highway to fame.
Bill Hayes, '79, appointed himself temporary traffic policemen when he saw the club's bus rolling through La Crossse, this afternoon. Bill ran out in the street and the bus held up while the older members talked over old times with Bill who was in the club for three years. Bill Smith, former student, was in the hall at the Dighton concert.
But to those on Mount Oread, the boys brave and true,
The Singing Ambassadors, orchids to you!
For the wealth or the honor it might give his name;
Dr. Logan Clendening of the University School of Medicine in Kansas City was the featured speaker at the monthly meeting of Sigma XI, honorary science society, last night in Blake hall.
Clendening Speaks At Sigma Xi Meeting
His subject was "Science and Medicine of the pre-Columbian Native American Peoples." Clendening was also initiated into the society at last night's meeting. His newspaper column, "Diet and Health," appears daily in the Kansas City Star.
Budget Requests Go Before Legislature
Most unusual request in the appropriations bill now before the Kansas legislature is the $15,000 dollar item providing for the establishment of a commercial training course. The money to be used for buying equip- $
propriations of the past two years. About a fifth of this total increase is for salaries and wages.
The 1939 legislature passed a resolution establishing the course. Included in the training will be a secretarial major for students and a graduate curriculum for high school commercial teachers.
The bill now up calls for an increase of $549,000 above the ap-
The major item in the entire appropriation is the request for $408,-500 to build and equip the Minerals Industries building during 1941-1943.
Displays Killer Instinct
John Kline and Howard Engleman returned to school today after playing with Kansas City's College of Commerce team in the National A.A.U. basketball tournament. Their team lost in the third round to Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville, Okla.
To Win Slide Rule
Displaying a killer instinct for working mathematics problems, Raymond York, senior engineer, won a $13.50 slide rule last night in the contest given during the Engineers' banquet in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building.
Howard Engleman
Eight engineers, drawn by lot, took part in the contest. They were seated on the stage, and given a sealed envelope containing a problem. The person solving the problem in the shortest time and with the most nearly correct answer, with the aid of a

*slide rule, of course, was de-
clared the winner.
York and Charles Carey, senior engineer, wound up in a dead heat, but York was nearest to the correct answer by one decimal point and received the slide rule, which was donated by Rowlands Book Store.
Also on the program were talks by three employees of the Phillips Petroleum company, Bartlesville, Okla., all graduates of the University and a group of songs by the K. U. Serenaders.
WEAR YOUR POCKET HANDKERCHIEF CASUALLY

Men who dress with care unfold a fresh handkerchief and tuck it casually into their breast pockets.
