UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV NUMBER 152 Kenny Lewis Wins Carruth Poetry Prize Prize Goes to Author for Second Successive Year for H is 'Sonnets for Dian' Kenny Lewis, c'39, won the William Herbert Carruth poetry contest for the second straight year and first prize money of $00 for a group of short poems, "Sonets for Dian," it was announced yesterday by the judging committee. Second place, with an award of $40, went to Marjorie Houston, c'38 on the entry, "A Newcomer Visits the Silver Dame's Tavern." The Ticket Prize or Hospital" won three prize of $20 for Roberta Haikman c'38. The 13 entries in the annual Carruth poetry competition were judged by Mark Van Doren, poet and critic Thomas E. Moore, alumnus of the University of William S. Johnson, chairman of the department of English Honorable mention was given the following poems: "The Unclaimed Bride", by Maye H. Leonard, gr "Lost University", by Ise Nesbit cunc; and 'The Rhyme of the Gol-ow' by Robert H. A volume of poetry will be presented to each contestant awarded honorable mention. Besides Lewis, three other prize winners this year have previously been mentioned in the Carruth awards. Maloney received first prize in 1936 and placed second in 1937. Miss Houston won third in 1937 and Mrs. Leonard received honorable mention also in 1937. In commenting on the poems entered, Doctor Johnson said, "The general average of the entries was higher than usual though the number was not in excess." The 'Sonnetes for Dian' is one of the finest offerings ever received by the committee. It shows fine conception and sure technique with the right combination of imagination and experience. The 'Prairie Ever' is less postal, but is usually similar and is a workmanlike piece. "my second choice, A 'Newcomer Visits the Silver Dome's Tavern,' seems a good intellectual piece, and is likely to be interesting. Aristophanes are interesting to me." Z229 Mr. Moore writes, "Though I do not care so very much for the inscription of the 'Somets' for Dian," the six somets greatly appeal to me. They have both beauty and clarity of phrasing. They seem written with an instinctive sureness of expression. The metrical facility appears remarkable to me. I have read them several times and re-reading only adds to my favorable opinion.

A story of intrigue and romance it tells of a couple of young moderns, whom the fates have decreed must marry. The cast includes: Ruth Allard, Anne Johnson, Thomas Barlow, Lavine Kramer, Franchn Barrett, Travis Glass, Marybell Richardson, Kelsey Foley, Kei-ienceymey, Spencer Bayles, Martin King and Jack Boardman. The play is under the direction of University students taking practice teaching. Seek Job Information Daily Kansan To Conduct Survey To Find Seniors' Prospects Job prospects for this year's graduates of the University will be presented by the Daily Kansan as soon as a job survey questionnaire prepared by the Kansan is returned and the results compiled. The questionnaire will be sent out today to the heads of all formally organized placement bureaues on the Campus as well as to the deans of the schools and the heads of the various departments. The surveys that have been made so far seem to indicate that jobs will be fewer in number and that start-ups will lose them than those offered graduates last year. The few questions in the questionnaire will serve as a basis for the Kansan's survey of the prospects of June graduates in securing jobs. This survey is similar to those being made in other universities and to those made recently of the outlook for 1938 graduates over the nation as a whole. It is expected that the prospects for the University graduates will conform with those made at other schools, but the Kansan is urging all recipients of the questionnaire to devote the few minutes necessary to the research and to provide a clear picture of the prospects may be presented to the student body. The results of the survey should be completed by next week if the questionnaire is filled out and re-traced to the Kansan as soon as possible. Asks $2,000 For Wound Asking $2,000 damages for injuries allegedly suffered when he was shot in the hip by a bullet from an accidentally discharged rifle Dean McCoy, c$40, has filed suit in district court here against Donald Dannenberg, e'uml, Milburn Griffith, fr, and William Marsh, c'41 Suit was lied through McCoy's father, O. McCoy, of Marysville, by A L. Parks and William S. Eddy. Marysville attorneys. The petition states that McCoy was shot in the hip near the spine last Jan. 18 when the three defendants negligently caused the discharge of a high-powered rifle. The bullet went through the wall of a room in the Acacia fraternity house at McCoy, who was playing cards with Dick Martin, c'39, and Erbie Watson, c'41, it is alleged. Charging the injury was the direct result of "negligent, careless and wanton acts of the defendants, and without negligence on his part", McCoy asks the following actual damages; One hundred fifty dollars for doctor, hospital and clothing bills; $300 for loss of a semester's school work and being forced to take less than normal work this semester; and $1,350 for pain and suffering. The petition alleges that as a result of the wound, McCoy was in the hospital 22 days and had to walk on crutches 10 days after leaving the hospital; that he was forced to miss his final examinations and thereby lost virtually an entire semester's work; and that he is now allowed to take only 8 hours of college credit work in the present Son Born to Former Professor Son Born to Former Professor A son, Brian H.

Loan Fund Of University Is Depleted Former Recipients Art Asked To Repay Money in Order To Aid Needy Students Now The student loan fund at the University of Kansas is exhausted, and an appeal was addressed today to recipients of loans in the past to make special effort to repay, so that students, in urgent need of small sums in order to continue their education, may be able to secure these loans. Action of the committee, of white, Glo. O. Foster, registrar, is chairman, was taken today when five applications for loans for the summer session had to be rejected because the fund actually is in the red. Last fall the usual number of small loans were made to enable worthy students to pay fees, and in order to take care of many meritorious cases, the committee borrowed $2,000 from the banks. This has been reduced by repayments of loans of $800, but since the first of the year there has been a decided slowing up in the rate of repayment, according to the secretary of the committee, the secretary of the committee. Repayments of loans between now and summer will be required to clear that $800, he said. Mr. Foster expressed deep regret that the committee would be unable to make loans. The loan fund totals some $40,000, built up over the years through gifts of individuals, by contributions from classes, and a few years ago a $6,000 contribution of faculty members. Loans range from $65 to $75 and are for a year or less. They are intended to tide a student over a pinch and are not a means of financing an education. Mr. Klrooz advised the committee that a recent check showed some 80 loans long delinquent, some as long as 20 years. The aggregate of these delinquent amounts is $7,000, and the interest would come to $3,000. It is to this group that the committee made its plan. A making its plan. A making its plan. Mr. Klrooz said, are repaid with reasonable promptness. Attention of the committee is sometimes called to a student in need by some other person. A year or two ago investigation disclosed a student with a bunk in an unfinished basement, and his only light for study was a small lamp over the door of the furnace. Another student was found to be rooming in a sn all shack he had built, and dependent upon University library for his only warmth. Walter B. McFarland, 70, has been elected to an instructorship in economics at Yale University. He will spend the summer at Stanford University this summer. Graduate Will Teach at Yale Little scientific value is placed on such epilips according to Dr. Storner because it is particularly impossible to record the exact time such phenomena occur and the only data that has been secured at such times concern the nature of the rock on the surface of the moon. Garth Thomas, of the Kansas State Teachers College at Pittsburg, who will be an assistant instructor in the psychology department next year, has been visiting the department. He was a guest of Prof. and Mrs. R. H. Wheeler during his two-day stay in Lawrence. The last total lunar eclipse to be visible in this part of the country was on July 16, 1935. Such eclipses are caused by the casting of the shadow of the earth upon the face of the moon. Beginning at 12:56 Saturday morning, May 14, and continuing until 4:30, residents of Lawrence will be able to witness one of the most spectacular of astronomical phenomena, a total lunar eclipse, according to an announcement by R. W. N. Steer, director of the University department of astronomy observatory. Kenneth K. Landes, professor of geology and assistant director of the Stite Geological Survey spoke at the meeting. Mr. Landes pointed out the possibilities of mineral industrial expansion in the state which were made possible by the geological survey. Twelve new members were initiated into Mortar Board, senior women's honor society, last night. After the initiation, 36 women attended the event. Eclipses of Moon Have Played Novel Roles in World History Friday is the deline for the acceptance of student correspondents' news columns at the Alumni office, said C. H. Mullen, c39, chairman, at the last meeting of the year which was held yesterday afternoon in the Journalism building. Anyone entering a string of news items will be qualified for entrance into the student correspondents contest for which 10 prizes are offered. The first prize is $15, second is $10, and the third is $3. In addition, there are five other prizes or $1 each for excellent work. In 1927 astronomers at Mount Wilson observatory took observations of temperatures at various phases of a lunar eclipse and were thus able to determine the physical properties of the moon found to be similar to barium stone. Future Instructor Visits Psychology Department Landes gave a practical example of the utilization of rock wool deposits in the state, which was a disruption of surveys conducted two years ago. Dr. Storer also pointed out that lunar eclipses have been used to determine accurately dates in history. Such an eclipse, recorded about the time of the death of Herod of Judea, helps to establish the approximate date of the birth of Christ. WEATHER Among the persons who will judge news items and the quality of the work are: W. A. Dill, associate professor of journalism; Fred Ellsworth secretary of the Alumni Association of the University; c39, and Velma Wilson; c40. Dorothy Caldwell, c38, this year's president, was in charge of the ceremonies. The guests were alumni members of Mortar Board, and the chairman, Dr. E. Lindley and one of the charter members of Mortar Board. Kansas: Unsettled Wednesday and Thursday; local showers Thursday and possibly Wednesday; little change in temperature. Mortar Board Holds Initiation for Twelve News Contest Ends Friday Entries for Student Correspondent Prizes Are Now Due The following women were initiated; Betty Barres, c³; Roberta Cook, fa; 39; Mary Louise Muse, c³; 38; Mary Markham, fa; 39; Lucile Russell, fa; 39; Charles Russell, fa; 39; Charlotte Stafford, c³; Doris Stockwell, c³; Joyce Vetter, fa; 39; D. J. Willett, ed³; and Jeanne Youngman, c³. In his "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," Mark Twain makes dramatic and humorous use of the occurrence of a solar eclipse and a story is told of how the explorer Columbus used his knowledge of the coming of a lunar eclipse to secure food for his company of sailors on one of his trips to the West Indies. According to the story Columbus made demands on the natives for food but was refused. Knowing that there would be a lunar eclipse that night, Columbus told the natives that if he 'did not get food he would shut off the moon. The eclipse came along and the terrified natives promised the explorer all the food he needed and would return the After time Columbus reluctantly said he would return the moon and got his food. Incidentally the natives got back their "Caribbean Moon." Dr. Storer will make a series of photographs of the various phases of the lunar eclipse with the aid of the recently completed 27-inch reflecting telescope. He suggests that the best view of the coming eclipse can be had with the naked eye and points out that all astronomical movements which are announced as being visible are subject to the vagaries of the weather and cloud formations. Now Comes A Truly Clean Election Lester Haug Elected to Engineering Councll Presidency; Machine Tactics Absent Engineers went to the polls yesterday and elected their Engineering Council in a quiet manner. Conspicuously absent were machine tactics employed in the recent School of Business election, and as a result, an unusually small number of votes cast and little interest was shown. Ry Marv Lou Borders, fa'39 Lester Haug, e39, defeated his nearest rival Bob Wilkins, e39, by two to one for the council presidency, winning 107 to 51. Herby Krauss, e39, was elected vice-president over Jin Bounds, e39, 97 to 69. when the votes had been counted. Dale Harpster, e39, and Marshall Nye, e39, were tied for petroleum representative. Nye received the position by calling correctly the toss order. He was flipped to determine the winner. Although Eugene Maxwell, e'40, was not named in the Kansan list of candidates yesterday morning, the presence of his name on the ballots was sufficient for him to win the race for mining representative.

Fighting Jayhawkers Win. 4-3 Kansas Nine Plays Good Game To Defeat Tigers in Second Tilt; Brass Is Mound Star Bv Bill Fitzgerald. c'39 A crowd that came to jeer the Kansas baseball team came away yesterday afternoon jeering Missouri instead and cheering the Jayhawkers. The lowly Kansans had accomplished the seemingly impossible by outlasting a highly touted Missouri team, 4-3, after spotting them three runs in the first innning, and deserved all the cheers they got. Clifford Brass, Kansas righthander, who was pitching his first full game of the season, settled down afterulty support had given Missouri a three-run start, and held the Tigers o three hits the remainder of the game. Miles, Missouri portier, also missed two home runs so doubling double by Holcom that cored the tying run in the sixth. dissouri Takes Lead The Tigers started out as though they were trying to better the 21 runs they scored in the first game Monday. Two walks, two singles, a stolen base and a double plus an error on Cave account for the last eight innings, a sizable ( fourth run by pugging Vogel at out home to end the imning. Miles started out like a Scotchman at a penny arcade. He gave one walk in the first inning, but Kansas didn't see the first base until the fifth when Holom beat out a bounder to third. Cadwalader fell and Holom hit through, and Conklin hit through short, which strangely enough was deserted at the time, Holom scoring. Cadwalader scored while Brass was being thrown out and the score was 3-2 for Missouri. Kansas fans began to take interest in something besides their jeering about this time. Brass Gets in Hole Missouri came through their half of the sixth without doing any damage, that didn't count in the runs column. After the first two men won, it began to look as if it began to appear as though the Jayhawkers weren't going to do any 'damage either. Then the Missouri left fielder ripped Anderson's easy fly and falcon promptly doubled to right wing for Orlando Anderson with the egg run. Missouri really threatened in the seventh when they filled the sacks on two walks and a hit by pitcher. Johnson stopped Wacecher's grounder, however, and threw him out for the third out. Anderson Comes Through After Missouri had been retired in its half of the eighth, the Jayhawks came in prepared to put the game on ice, Johnson, the lead-off man, was the first man up and he worked Miles for a walk. Kappelman sacrificed him to second, and he took third on Cave's ground out. He went for third on the plate, and the big catcher slammed one down third base that the Missouri third baseman couldn't hold and the winning run was in. Two flicks to Holcom and a grounder on which Kappelman could fall. The Tigers could do in the ninth, and that's the story of the ball game.
