Summerfields Here For Last Examinations
- Resident Scholars Will
Entertain the 26 Visitors
At Dinner Tonight; 10 or
12 May Be Chosen
Candidates for the Summerfield scholarships, 26 young high school senior from all over Kansas, arrived today to take the final examinations in the annual content for the coveted awards. Of the 26, about a third received the highest scholarship given to seniors in Kansas high schools.
The 26, who were chosen from 265 students taking the preliminary examinations, will meet with the faculty committee this afternoon. Tonight they will be entertained at dinner by the 26 resident scholars.
The examinations will start to
morning at 8:30 and continue
throughout the day, stoping
the examination on Sunday
given by Chancellor Lindley.
The scholarships are made possible through the generosity of Solon Summerfield, a University alumnus who now is president or an eastern hosiery company. Each year 10 to 15 Kansas high school seniors are selected to receive these scholarships which furnish their sufficient money to obtain a complete four-year college education.
The first Summerfield scholar was graduated in 1932. Since then more than 75 Kansas men have been awarded by the University on the Summerfield awards.
Summerfields in the University this year include 12 in each of the freshman and sophomore classes, and in the junior and senior classes.
The average age of Summerfield students is one year less than the average age of other students upon entrance into the University. Most of the scholarship recipients are $16\frac{1}{2}$ years old when they enter the freshman class. One Summerfield was 14 years old when he entered the University and was graduated at the age of 17. Since his graduation he has held scholarships at Princeton University, where he worked under Albert Einstein, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he is now teaching.
Student Peace Fasters Will Hear H. L. Smith, Moritz
National Peace Day will be observed tomorrow at a noonday fast sponsored by the University Peace Action group. The fast will be observed from 12:30 to 1:30 in the Pint room.
The speakers include Henry Ladd Smith, assistant professor of journalism, who will speak on "Recent Propaganda" and Paul Moritz, c39 Moritz will give his prize winning oration "Here We Are Again," which won first place in the Mission Valley oratorial contest.
Those who attend the fast will contribute the money they ordinarily would spend on lunch to the peace fund. They will decide whether to give it to the Chinese students, or Spanish or Jewish refugees.
ON THE SHIN

Writing Jimmy the Skunk's column tempts me as does speaking in a radio mike: I want to say "Hello mom and pop." But since the disillusionment of the 1980s time I haven't been on speaking terms with the home folks.

Record Attendence Demands Encore Of 'The Drunkard'
Next year the Damnities* Club will, in all probability, play in the football games and the football team take over theatrical productions.
This arrangement is a direct result of the fascinating moral domestic drama, "The Drunkard", which is being presented by the "K" Club. With tickets sold out for all four nights before the premiere, public acclaim has demanded a performance be given Friday night for the benefit of those who were unable to secure tickets.
Friday night's performance will be given in Fraser theater. Tickets for this event go on sale again this afternoon in Green hall.
At former productions of this drama, years ago, women fainted and strong men broke down and cried. The villian was booed and Times have changed, however, and laughs have supplanted tears.'
Introduction of a chorus combining the best terpsichorna artes of the Hells and Empress has added touch which is quite out of keeping with the original idea of the author, but adds much to the show.
Plan to Aid Chinese Students
★ Chancellor Appoints
Permanent Committees
For Drive
Definite plans to conduct the drive for funds to aid destitute Chinese students were made by chairmen of the permanent committees applied to Lindley for Lindley, which met Tuesday night in the Memorial Union building.
Interprets Chinese Problems
A Bowl-of-Rice supper the evening of May 2 and Tag Day on May 3 constitute the program. Profits from the supper and from the tags sold the next day will comprise the University's contribution to the $50,000 fund being raised in the United States.
Jack McMichael will speak at the Bowl-of-Rice supper to be held in the Memorial Union building. McMichael is a former president of the National Intercollegiate Christian Council, a position now held by Paul Moritz, c'29. A graduate of Emory University, he was sent this year by the N.I.C.C. to China to represent American students.
While there, McMichael studied Chinese student life and their problems in relation with the Japanese-Chinese conflict. He is now touring the United States in preparing the Chinese student situation to American undergraduates.
The fund now being raised will help restore Chinese universities and colleges, 35 of the 100 having been completely destroyed or evacuated. Other portions of the funds will be used to support stiften students and to foster them in the future reconstruction of their country.
Lindley Is a Committeeman
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who is national commissiter for the Far Eastern Student Service fund, started action when he met representatives of student groups and of the faculty March 12. The general drive is organized by the International Student Service and the World's Student Christian Federation.

- Member of Class of '09 Known as an Author And Editor
The meat of Day's address will probably be found in his specific consideration of the subject: Finding and Getting Your Job. How to analyze the job market—how to prepare letters of application—how to get interviews with employers—how to act in an interview—and how to follow up that interview—these are some of his points.

The address will be followed by an open forum discussion during which individual questions may be answered.
The problem of "choosing an occupation" will be proclaimed in detail and should prove of interest to sophomores and juniors too. Here there are more questions to be answered: What are the possibilities of self-analysis? What are the sources of occupational information?

'Name' Band Will Play Here May 16
- Dance Will Be Hold in Hoch Auditorium; Balcony Seats for Spectators Will Be Sold
Kay Kayser and his complete band—a famous "name" organization will play the Senior Cakewalk at the University on the night of May 16.
Announcement that Kayser had been signed was made late this afternoon by Moe Ettenson, l'41, after he received official confirmation of the contract.
Kayser has been playing the Lucky Strike program this year and at present is in New York City after a swing through the South. His appearance here on Tuesday, May 16 will be made while his on his way through to the west coast.
Arrangements have been completed to hold the dance in Hoch Auditorium. Price per couple is $2.00. Seats on the slanted section of the main floor and in the balconies will sell to spectators for 50 cents.
Don Woods, Varsity Dance manager, Clyde Smith, President of the Senior class and Ettison'141 had been in contact with the Music Corporation of America for the past month trying to secure this band for the senior party. They were notified today by the agents from Chicago that Kayser and his entire band would be available for the night of May 16. He was sigmed at once.
The Senior class committees, appointed by Clyde Smith paved the way for the signing of the contract when they voted unanimously to sponsor a name band for the party.
C. G. Bayles superintendent of building and grounds will put his men to work soon sanding and waxing the floors to put it in perfect condition for dancing.
The dance this year will be held in Hoch auditorium in order to accommodate more dancers on the floor and also to furnish room for spectators.
This is the first big name dance band that has played on the Campus in the last ten years. Fred Ellsworth, Secretary of the Alumni Association recalled recently that when Ted Weems' band appeared for the senior cakewalk in 1929 that the Memorial Union Ballroom was not large enough to accommodate the crowd.
Loudspeakers were placed in the Men's lounge and part of the dancing couples had to dance there at that time. Odd and even numbers were passed out to each couple and they would exchange floors, the odds dancing one set of dance numbers on the ballroom floor and then the evens have their chance of going up.
By holding the dance this year in Hoch auditorium this inconvenience will be done away with.
