LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY. MARCH 3. 1940.
Board Honors Dr. Naismith John Carlson
Two resolutions, one honoring the late Dr. James Naismith, professor emeritus of physical education, and the other John E. Carlson prominent University of Kansas alumnus, were passed Friday night at a meeting of the University Athletic board.
The committee report on resolutions in honor of Dr. James Naismith follows in part:
"The name of James Naismith is one which will have a permanent place in the hall of fame of athletes. His invention of basketball is an achievement which has made him known throughout the world and which has brought untold satisfaction and benefit to youth in every land. He had the unusual experience of seeing a game, created by the necessities of his immediate task, grow so rapidly in public interest that within the comparatively short space of a few decades it had become the acknowledged leader among all sports with regard to the number of participants and the number of followers.
"We are proud of the fact that the University of Kansas has been privileged to share so generously in the life of James Naismith. With the passage of time just what he has meant to us will become increasingly evident.
"From 1901 to 1937, he was a valued member of this board. A period of service of such length probably is unequalled in the annals of athletic board history throughout the nation.
"It is the hope of this board that in the near future a suitable memorial, bearing his name and dedi-

Correction
In the announcement of candidates for W.S.G.A. positions Friday, the Kansas inadvertently omitted the names of Margaret Whitehead, c'42, and Mary Beth Dodge, fa'42, who seek the point system management.
More than 200 students took the examination, which was given Saturday, Feb. 24.
Test Results Due In Two Weeks
Results of the English Proficiency Examinations and the names of those who have passed the test will be available for publication in about two weeks, according to John B. Virtue, assistant professor in the English department.
The apparent delay was explained by Virtue by the fact that the papers were graded so carefully, each one being read several times.
Junior Prom Tickets Available to Outsiders
Outsiders who may have been on edge as to whether they would be able to get tickets to the Junior Prom have reason to take several easy breaths since it was revealed yesterday that after the deadline for exclusive student sales there still remained 20 tickets to be sold.
Only students in the University were permitted to buy tickets until yesterday morning when admissions to the Dorseyized Prom were thrown open to the general public. At that time 450 pasteboards had been sold.
Dorssey fans in and around Lawrence were keeping a close watch over the sales, it was reported. One Lawrence man kept ticket offices
May Honor Him--busy giving him a running account from the ticket front.
First Semester Graduates Named By Crawford
Dr. James Naismith, who was cited for a possible future memorial Friday night by the University Athletic board.
The names of 16 students representing the seven departments of the School of Engineering and Architecture who were graduated at the end of the first semester were announced today by Dean Ivan C. Crawford.
Dean Crawford stated that many of the men have received final placements. The students and the departments from which they were graduated are: Charles Ash, Joy Scammon, and Richard Tippin, department of architecture; Alfred Dean and Herbert Herrmann, department of architectural engineering; John Duer, Weaver McCaslin, Howard Sailors, and Lyle Samples, department of chemical engineering; Donald Flander, department of civil engineering; Emerson Brooks, department of electrical engineering; Gene Cormany, Ed Fuchs, Clarence McCabe, Charles Razak, department of mechanical engineering; Frank Alexander, mining engineering dept.
Fred Littotty, 142, student dance manager, remained confident that the limited supply of admissions to the Prom would be snapped up by outsiders shortly after they had access to them. Bell's Music store, handling the ducats downtown, showed an increase in orders yesterday over any day during the last week.
Dorsey's band, with the vocal aid of Helen O'Connell, and Bob Eberly will be playing its first dance on the campus although it has filled several engagements in this section of the country. It has been rumored that Dorsey may try to sneak in a few saxophone solos if the crowd coaxes him into it.

Grads Take Top Prizes In Contest
Sponsors of the "model design" contest at the Kansas City Better Homes show today were writing checks amounting to $500 to three University alumni who carried off three of the four top honors at the show this week.
The $200 first prize went to Frank Slezak, e'35. The model winning the second $100 prize was designed by Margaret Wheeler, e'37, daughter of J. J. Wheeler, associate professor of mathematics. Mayll Linscott, e'25, and L. G. Fiell, e'27, designed a model which won the fourth prize. Two other alumni, Raymond Friedson, e'37, and Samuel Bihr, e'27, received honorable mention to complete the prize winners from the School of Engineering and Architecture. Two of the three judges of the contest, who were selected from Kansas City architects, were graduated from the University School of Engineering and Architecture: Joseph W. Radotinsky, e'24, and Edward W. Tanner, e'16.
Professor Joseph M. Kellogg, head of the department of architecture, attended the show last week and said today that one of the features of the many exhibits is a collection of house designs and drawings which were made by Margaret Wheeler.
Blind Couple to Give Program at Theater Next Wednesday
John Ulrich, fs, his wife Carole,
and their seeing-eye dog, "Dutchy," will appear in a special act on the stage of the Granada theater Wednesday night at 9 o'clock.
Ulrich and his wife, both of whom are blind, will present three vocal duets, singing compositions by Mrs. Ulrich. The couple will demonstrate the work of "Dutchy" and describe the procedure at the Seeing Eye Institute at Morristown, N.J.
Although he is not in school this semester, Ulrich said he plans to enroll again next fall to continue his work'in the School of Law.
New Actors To Play Leads In 'Holiday'
Leading roles in the new Dramatic Club show "Holiday" will be played by two thespians who are virtually unknown to the theater-minded student.
Conrad Voelker, c'40, as Johnny Case in the well-known comedy by Philip Barry, will be stomping the boards of Fraser Theater for the first time; while playing opposite him will be Reola Durand, c'43, as Linda Seto$, she has been seen but not heard. Miss Durand had her first role as the secretary in "Night of January 16th"—not a speaking part.
Nearly on a par in importance with Linda is her sister, Julia, the part being played by Martha Alice Horner, c'42. The remainder of the Seton family, in whose home the acti(), takes place, is the brother Ned, played by Larry David, fa'40, and the father characterized by Marvin Moon, c'40. This incidentally, is the eighth consecutive play in which Moon has been cast.

$3,200 in Bequests Left to University
Bequests amounting to more than $3,200 were made to the University by two prominent alumnae who died last fall, according to Prof. Olin Templin, secretary of the Endowment association.
Florence Finch Kelly, the dean of American newspaper women and an alumna of the University, class of 1881, left $2.500 which had been collected from an insurance fund that she had with the New York Times.
Another alumna, Clara Gillham,
who was graduated in 1884, left in
her will three lots of land in Atascadero,
Calif., and $700 for a fund
to provide books for the browsing
room in the Watson library.
This Is No Crock--- Pottery Company Buys Designs From Students
That designers of the future needn't wait until they are graduated to learn to adapt their work to the needs of the industry is being demonstrated daily as students of the department of design create patterns for china made by the Onondaga Pottery company of Syracuse, New York.
Shortly after the Christmas holidays, the Onondaga Potters, who produce a highly vitrified type of table ware for both home and institutional use, wrote Miss Rosemary Ketcham, professor of design, and requested her to submit border designs for china which had been conceived and carried out by her students.
More than 100 border designs were submitted by the students of
the department, and from this num- (Continued on page five)
