Poetry Contest Entries End
Approximately two dozen entries were received in the William Herbert Carruth poetry contest. The deadline was noon yesterday.
The actual number of entries will not be known until the envelopes containing the poems are opened, contest officials said. Under the rules of the contest, three typewritten copies of each poem submitted, signed by an assumed name and sealed in an envelope, must be accompanied by another sealed envelope containing the real name of the author. Both envelopes were to have the name of the poem and the author's assumed name written on the outside, but this was not done in all cases.
Kenneth Lewis, '39, won the contest last year. He was also firstplace winner in 1936 and 1937. Last year the title of his entry was "Sonnets from a Diary." It was a series of eight sonnets.
Prizes of $60, $40, and $20 will be given first, second, and third winners. Winners will be announced about May 1, it was said. Their names will also appear on the Commencement program.

E. F. Sullivan Is Head Of Hill Book Hospital
In the sub-basement of Watson library is a hospital—a hospital which, though only 30 by 50 feet in size, annually gives new life to 2,400 patients. The head doctor of this small, efficient institution is a jovial red-haired Irishman, Mr. E. F. Sullivan, and he operates on books, not on human beings.
"One very cold morning when was an apprentice", he relates, "the shop for which I worked sent me to Susan B. Anthony's with some books. She made me take my cap off outside the door and in that cold weather stand out there and scrape my feet. I used to deliver books to her often. I still can plainly see her house at 21 Prospect street".
After his apprenticeship in Rochester, Mr. Sullivan worked in various eastern and southern cities. "At that time, I had the itch to
Dr. Sullivan began his book doctoring 45 years ago as an apprentice in Rochester, N.Y., when he was both shop helper and messenger boys.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott will conclude the series at the third forum when he will instruct seniors from the viewpoint of both sides of the desk. Chancellor Malott has had experience from both sides, first at Harvard Business College as assistant dean and then with the Hawaiian Pineapple Limited.
travel," the book doctor chuckled, "so I combined pleasure and work. I went to some large city I wished to see, got a job, and worked. Every city has a little different method of book binding. I thought I could learn my trade more thoroughly by working in several cities. For the past 22 years I have worked in Kansas, first at Topeka, and then here in Lawrence."
There are four part time workers assisting Mr. Sullivan. Besides binding books, they map mount maps, make portfolios, and bind magazines. Every year 1500 University books are sent to the state bindery at Topeka.
"Book binding is not just a skill", Mr. Sullivan says, "It is an art which began back in the fifth century. Most work today is done by machine, but in the University bindery we do it all by hand with brass tools."
Mr. Sullivan came to Lawrence specifically to set up the University book bindery, established in the present Watson library 14 years ago.

Dolls and Models Eyed
By Visual Instruction Bureau
Dolls dressed to represent foreign countries, tiny models of windmills, stage coaches and well sweeps, and exhibits of Kansas products, are all to be found in the office of the Bureau of Visual Instruction.
These objects have been made by the Kansas Museum Project of the W.P.A. and will be used as illustrative material for schools by the Bureau. Visual aids include more than just films and glass slides, and exhibits such as these are designed especially for schools not equipped with projectors.
The dolls, which are arranged in pairs, represent 24 countries, ranging from the Turkish models to the guitar-strumming Spaniards. Each pair carries the flag of its country. Early American history is represented by the old-fashioned wooden turnstile and farrier's bench, but the modern oil derrick is there, also.
Portfolios of leather and metal work, block printing, and weaving are available for class room use as well as samples of Kansas products.
Plans for handling and shipping the exhibits have not yet been completed, according to Fred S. Montgomery, secretary of the Bureau.
These exhibits will be used in the visual instruction classes given at the summer school session.
