UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By Walt Meininger
Though we don't know anything about it over here in the department of journalism we heard a young lady yesterday swear that the man and woman who are to escore the stars of the world premiere coming up this week have already been selected. Sounds kind of silly but she swears it's the truth. Straight from the horse stuff.
We offer this as rumor, pure rumor, just to forestall any outbursts of indignation.
The pin that was put out at the Theta house last week surprised a number of people, especially the original owner. He didn't know anything was going to take place until he walked in after dinner to be met with a batch of kissing in the face from the sisters as a group.
It seems it would pay to keep informed about your own engagement.
A local marble machine has been paying out an average of 800 nickels, sorry we mean "free games," every day. Since we can safely assume that the machine is not there to help needy students think how many "free games" that thing must take in each day.
A college education costs like the very devil doesn't it?
Following the Indiana-Kansas massacre in the City Saturday the inscriptions on Dyche museum take on new significance. Look closely at the second gargoyle from the right on the south side of the building and see the "Rock Chalk" inscribed there.
We didn't know it was there either until yesterday.
Then look at the first gargoyle head on the east side and see the "Jay Hawk?" written there. The question mark is the factor lending the significance.
Add things carried too far: The home economics majors living in the practice house for six weeks of their senior year can't smoke inside because the house is a University building.
Perhaps the fire marshall could well afford to investigate the screens nailed down on the windows in front of the fire escape exits at a sorority house on the Hill. The escapes themselves have been known to be greased in the last few years.
We don't remember the name of the house but it is located right across the street from Bricks.
This very effectively halts anyone coming late after the door is locked, and incidentally; would just as effectively keep anyone from using the fire escapes in case of fire.
It has been suggested that the fire escapes be cut up into bars and placed over the windows, thus making the thing perfect.
Engineering Graduate Made Magazine Editor
Recently appointed editor of Engineering News Record, Waldo G Bowman, e23, has been on the editorial staff of that weekly publication for 15 years. After his graduation here, he supplemented his training with work in the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. He has written extensively on bridge building and structural and research subjects of engineering, the News Record was established in 1884.
Local Phi Beta Kappa Chapter Is 50 Today
Fifty years ago today Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic fraternity, was founded at the University.
On April 2, 1890, eight members of the faculty met and organized the society. These charter members were Francis Huntington Snow, James Hulme Canfield, Lucien Ira Blake, Alexander Martin Wilcox, Arthur Graves Canfield, Arthur Richmond Marsh, David Hamilton Robinson, and Max Winkler, of whom A. G. Canfield is the only one still living. James Willis Gleed 79 and Will
The first president was Mr. Snow, who later became chancellor. The other officers were, J. H. Canfield, vice-president, A. G. Canfield, secretary; and Max Winkler, treasurer.
At the first meeting two alumni,
James Willis Gleed, '79, and William Herbert Carruth, '80, and five seniors, Danial Edward Esterly, Nettie D. Gooddell, William Hill, Fred Liddeke, and Edwin Emory Slosson were elected into the chapter.
Air Corps Men To Be Here Soon
All senior men interested in gaining admission to the U.S. army air corps will have an opportunity to make application to a board of officers from the air corps within the near future.
This board, one of many which are being sent to the major colleges and universities in the United States, will give interested men information about the air corps and are qualified to make a preliminary test of a candidate wishing admission.
University fellowships with a stipend of $400, are open to graduate students who have had at least one year of study in a recognized graduate school. The scholarships are open to graduates of colleges and universities of recognized standing. Their stipend is $250.
Other scholarships and graduate assistantships have not yet been announced.
Scholastic Awards Granted Graduates
The leased property is a part of the land owned by Charles Canterbury, Jr., a Colorado rancher and is situated in a region of particular geologic interest. Dinosaur bones have been excavated there and specimens are now in the Smithsonian Institute and the Denver Museum.
The awards have been granted in the fields of sociology, etymology, psychology, geology, history, English, mathematics, education and political science.
Dr. K. K. Landes, who acted as the representative of Kansas University, completed the contract while on his way to Salt Lake City to attend the
Construction is already underway at the newly-leased geology camp site in the Garden Park area near Canon City, Colo. The 25-year lease was drawn up Monday and work began the same day on the two dormitories and plans were laid out for the other buildings.
The buildings necessary for the field class should be completed by the time that class convenes this summer. Geology students from here have been making an annual summer field trip to Garden Park for 22 years.
Four University fellowships and eight University scholarships have been granted to graduate students for next year. Names of those receiving the awards will not be announced until the graduate scholarship department has received letters of acceptance from each. The announcement will be made about April 15.
At an estimated cost of $10,000, dormitories, a recreation hall, bathhouse and staff house will be erected for the use of field classes in geology, Dr. K. K. Landes, professor of geology, said. While the present plans are essentially for the regular field class, accommodations are being planned for a larger group of geology students who would like to go the second part of the summer.

Hospital Patients Improve Steadily
Harold Haight, e'40, and Eugene Maxwell, e'40, pneumonia patients at Watkins Memorial hospital, have improved steadily since they were admitted, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today. "But neither of them will be released for a few days," he added.
Kenneth Reed, ph. who recently underwent an appendectomy, was released from the hospital this morning.
As his regular request reading program tonight, Robert Calderwood, professor of speech and dramatic art, will read a cycle of poems which he calls "A Thing of Beauty." These poems are chosen from the works of Keats, Shelley, and contemporary poets. The program will be broadcast by radio station KFKU at 6 p.m.
Definite arrangements have not
