Two Engineering Students Receive Fellowship Awards
Ganoung and Porter Giver Scholastic Honors by Yale and Mass. Institute
2. 74 - 10
Two students at the University o Kansas, both students in the electrical engineering department of the School of Engineering and Architecture, both from Salina, and both Summerfield Scholars at the University, will receive notable scholarships in the East for the coming school year.
The students are Robert Ganoung and Richard Porter.
Ganoung has received a scholarship at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he will work on advanced problems in electrical engineering, also under a Tau Beta Pi fellowship—one of six such fellowships given by this engineering organization in the United States.
Porter has received a graduate assistantship at Yale for the academic year 1934-35.
Both Ganoung and Porter were among the few students elected in their junior year to Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau honorary engineering fraternities. In Tau Beta Pi, Ganoung is corresponding secretary and Porter is recording secretary; in Sigma Tau, they reverse the offices.
Both students entered the University in the fall of 1830, in the second group of Summerfield Scholars. These scholarships represent the sifting of some $8,000 young men graduates of Kansas high school to select the 10 or 12 of greatest promise.
In his freshman year, Ganoung received the Sigma Tau award for outstanding scholastic work. He was listed in the University Honors Convocation each year. He was manager of intramural basketball during the post-year
Porter is a member of Pi Mu Epsilon, honorary museum fraternity, president of the Radio club, and a member of the Fremont Knights. He also played intempire football, this year.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1934
Both Porter and Ganouge are active in planning the Engineers' Exhibition on display this week, and both are staff members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers.

VENZKE, IN HILARIOUS MOOD FINDS KANSAS TO HIS LIKING
Large Attendance Marks Opening Day At Biennial Exhibit
Gene has run in about 10 races since last summer, and has about 12 more meets scheduled for this year. He is *In training almost the year round, running for the New York Athletic Club during the summers*. He runs in the mile and half mile races. Venkze is very enthusiastic about his coach.
He made the trip to Kansas alone and was very disappointed because there were no young people on the train.
By Carolyn Harper, c'35 Kansan Society Editor
Gene is a golf enthusiast, and held
Gene is a sophomore in the University of Pennsylvania, and is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. When questioned about his major he said that he wasn't sure, but he thought it would be in home economics. At the present time he is taking a little of everything, and not much of anything.
Spectacular Displays Mak Engineering Exposition Outstanding One at School
When this reporter interviewed Gene Venkze, he was in high spirits, and to intended serious questions, answered such things as that he had been married twice, and had a tribe of kids, who went on outings or jogs around the dining room table.
Famous Miler Refuses to Talk Seriously, but Admits He Is Enjoying Himself Thoroughly
The Engineering Exposition which opened this morning will remain open until 6 p.m. today when a supper hour will be declared. The exhibits may be viewed tonight from 7 until 9 o'clock.
This is the first time that he has ever been to Kansas, and he enjoyed the trip out very much, he said. Believe it or not, he brought two books along with him.
Spectacular displays and a larger first day attendance than usual marked the opening of the ninth biennial Engineer's Exposition today as the most outstanding in the history of the school.
The exhibition is an example of the beauty of colored light, and according to Professor Young it should be of interest to the public because of its sheer beauty resulting from a combination of the many different colors.
"The colors are produced," said Professor Young, "by ultra-violet light which is like light, but is entirely invisible because its waves are too short to be caught by the eye, as it falls on substances having a peculiar property called fluorescence. For some unknown reason they absorb the short ultraviolet light and become luminous if the color of the substance has the peculiar beauty of the colors of the opal and seems to come from the interior of the substance."
By Elton Carter, c'36
"The Exposition tonight," says Carl Kindswater, e34, publicity manager. "will be even more spectacular because of the brilliant and colorful lighting effects arranged by the electrical department."
Probably one of the most beautiful displays is the fluorescent minerals in room 8 of the Geology building. This is the first year such a display has been presented. It was added to this year's Exposition as a special feature.
A feature of the architectural exhibit on the third floor of Marvin hall is the series of designs displaying specially built carillon towers. A scare model of such a tower, constructed especially for the exposition, shows the possibilities for such a structure. The University Endowment association recently sug-
Tomorrow the following schedule of hours will be observed: 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 5 to 7 p.m. The Kansas Relays are scheduled afternoon in the Kansas Relays.
Although the Exposition was not officially opened until noon, many out-of-town visitors, including engineers from Kansas City and various manufacturing plants, began visiting the exhibits long before that time.
The display was arranged by George M. Real professor of architecture
The display has adequately been termed by C. M. Young, as "flourescent minerals in the 'Cavern of the Rainbow's End.'"

Gene refuses to set his watch back to Kansas time, saying he wants to be a little faster. Probably out of courtesy to the reporter, he said that he would like to live in Kansas. His home is in Pottown, Pa.
He is looking forward to the National Intercollegiate meet which will be held in Los Angeles on June 22. When asked about the Sullivan Award, he said that his girlfriend would be rewarded to the right man, without doubt. Ground Rice is his favorite sports writer.
He chose the relays queen, with the help of his two roommates. Each girl was studied, seriously, he says, and he was quite surprised to see his choice meet him at the train last night. He was asked to be a guest at one of the meetings, and so he has have forgotten, he says, if he had been able to accept the invitation.
up his hands to prove that he had beer putting around the course.
Gene concluded the interview by saying that he was glad he had come to see him. Of the outcome of the nice tomorrow, he was having a great time, win or lose.
While at the Blue Mill, of which he spoke favorably, he was surprised when somebody ordered a Dr. Pepper. Incidentally, he ordered a dish of vanilla ice cream to conform to his training rules.
Gift Suggestions Made At Meeting of Seniors
Some Members Express Opposition to Leaving Memorial
ANNUAL INTERSCHOLASTIC RELAYS OPEN WITH 1500 MEN COMPETING
Suggestions for buying a plot of ground just south of the University, pursuing the chandallers for the Memorial Union, the erection of cement benches, and the leaving of a sum of money to the student loan fund were the suggestions for a gift to the University from the class of 1934 offered by the gift committee to the Senior class at a meeting held last night.
Because of the small attendance at the meeting no action was taken. Several members were very much opposed to leaving any gift at all, saying that it was only because of precedent that this money was spent each year and that graduating classes would be a discontinuance of the present practice.
Samples of Senior invitations have arrived and will be displayed in central Administration building and orders will be processed on May 4, from now row until May 4, the final deadline.
Howard Hoover, 136, president of the class, announced a meeting to be held the first week in May to decide definitely on the gift the class would leave to the University, if any, and to make final plans for Commencement week.
Robert Hartley, c'343, chairman of the Invitations committee, said that an order would be sent to the company on April 27, and if the seniors placed their order before or on that date, the invitations would arrive by the last of May. "There will be several orders after that, but prompt delivery cannot be assured, and it is necessary to place orders immediately if the invitations are wanted," said Hartley. Money must accompany the order, he stated.
M. S. C. Hears Fraud Cases
Three Students Appear on Charges Others to Be Considered
The executive committee of the Men's Student Council heard evidence and testimony yesterday afternoon in the cases of three men charged with fraud in the recent election, and postponed the consideration of three more until Monday at 2:30.
The men whose cases came up yesterday are Sloan Lindenbane, c36; David Hamlin, c'ucl; and R. J. Porter, ph37. The cases postponed are those of Phil Bramwell, c36; John Flood, c35; and Howard Robertson, c37. These men are being tried following a protest by Oread-Kayhawk leaders that Pachacachi will be to win the election he dishonestly wrote.
After hearing the rest of the evidence Monday the executive committee will sit as a board of equity and hand down a decision on each case.
Tea Representative to Visit Here
C. L. Stivers, a representative of the Jewel Tea company, will visit the University of Kansas on Monday and Tuesday, April 23, and 24, for the purpose of interviewing seniors in the School of Business and Economics majors in the College concerning an employment with the company. An appointment may be made to Mr. Stivers; may be made at the School of Business, 114 Administration building. Students will be interviewed in Room 11F Administration building.
At a meeting of Freshman Commission of Y.W.C.A., to be held at 4:30 Monday afternoon, Dean Husband will lead an informal discussion of etiquette and manners. A supper will be served following the meeting.

LAST YEAR'S CHAMPIONS LEADING AT END OF FIRST THREE EVENTS ON AFTERNOON'S TRACK PROGRAM
Wichita North in Class A Has Narrow Margin; Kansas Vocational in B Division Tied With Four Other Teams; Strong North Wind Makes Good Marks Impossible
At the conclusion of the first three events in the thirtieth annual interscholastic track and field meet, held in conjunction with the Kansas Relays, today in Memorial Stadium, both of the winners of last year's high school events were in the lead.
BULLETIN
Alex, Pain of Arkansas City High School set a new Kansas interscholastic high jump record here this afternoon with a leap of 6 feet, $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches. His mark bettered the old record of 6 feet, 1 inch, set by Madison of Hutchinson in 1928.
