Seven Swimmers Cross Kaw
Half Milc Covered in River as Test for University Mermen
The seven University men who swam the Kaw River Sunday were: Kenneth Hodson, c'35; Cursis Packard, c'gr; Fred Leib, e'uncl; H. W. Fisher, c'35; Richard Garrett, e'uncl; Thomas Palmerlee, assistant instructor in mathematics; and Herbert G. Alphin, swimming coach at the University.
Two row boats and a motor boat accompanied the swimmers. The men were assigned to swim by certain boats. The group went up the Kaw River to the intake of the city water supply, and then they swim across. Owing to the current the swimmers were taken in the 150 feet down the river in making the trip.
After a ten-minute rest, the group walked upstream about 50 yards and made a return trip going to the boat dock. A second voyage covered was about half a mile.
Herbert Alphin, swimming coach at the University, said this morning that it is very necessary to have the proper supervision and supervision to attempt such swims.
Fifteen Pass Life Saving Test
Fifteen University men completed and passed the senior Red Cross lifesaving test last Friday. The eight days of instruction and test were under the supervision of Herbert G. Allphin, swimming instructor at the University, Red Cross examiners at the University assisted in the work.
Those passing the test were: William Hazen, c'35, Neil Manley, c'35, Howard Miller, c'35, Newton Burchett, c'35, Stanley Bernhardt, e'33, Maurice Bruzelius, e'34, Lawrence Flickin, e'33, Augn Annegheb, fa'36, Theodore Klassen, e'uncl, Paul Milligan, c'36, Richard Garret, e'uncl, Worley Kaff, c'36, Lyle Bailey, fa'uncl, Elbert Youngstrom, e'33, and William Utermobh, c'36.
Lindley Addresses Graduates

JOSE HIDALGO GIVES REPORT BEFORE CLUB ON 'AHUAUTLE
Jose Hidalgo, c"33, gave a report on "El Ahuaute de Texaco" by L. Ancona H, Biological Institute, University of Mexico at the regular meeting of the biology club yesterday afternoon. Hidalgo translated the paper from Spanish.
Ahuantele is food consisting of insect eggs whose culture provides occupation and food for many natives of Mexico. The eggs are mainly those of the corixids, a family of Hemipterous water insects. They are laid in masses on mats placed in the water. Canvas seines are also used in collecting the eggs. Besides that, tons of the "ahuate" insects themselves are shipped to Europe, especially England, where they are used as a fish and bird food.
A picture of the group was taken at he meeting.
Fellowship Is Offered to Graduate Students
Selden Lincoln Whitecomh Award in Literature to Be Given
The Seldon Lincoln Whitechapell Fellowship in Comparative Literature will be offered this spring for the first time. It is open to graduate students who desire to do research and to write a thesis in the field of comparative literature, or those interested in teaching as a candidacy for the master's or doctor's degree in the department of English.
The fellowship carries a stipend of $200, and no teaching service will be required. Applications are to be made by noon, June 3.
The committee administering the fund under the terms of the bequest consists of the Chancellor, the dean of the department and a representative of the department of English.
Professor Whitcomb was a member of the English faculty of the University from 1905 to the time of his death, in April, 1930. Both he and his wife were greatly interested in English literature, and following her death in June, 1931, their estate became available for scholarships here, and at Grinnell College, Iowa, from which Professor Whitcomb had graduated, and where he taught before coming to the University of Kansas.
Of the fund of nearly $8,000 given o the University, three-fourths is used or the establishment of the research fellowship in comparative literature, and the rest is used for the Edna Osborne Whitchomb Scholarship loan fund, or under-graduate women in the department of English.
The Gift of more than $7,500 to Grinn College, was for the establishment of a memorial to be known as the Selden Lincoln Whiteblood Poetry Prize
The Whitcomb estate, which was administered by Professor L. N. Flint of the department of journalism, was completely probated just before Christmas last year, and the stipend for the work was the carving of the fund that time.

Campus Drinking Policy Is Discussed by Officials
Attempt to Formulate Plan for Controlling Liquor Situation Here
Because of the changed sentiment of the nation as a whole on the drinking of alcoholic beverages since the legalizing of beer in some states, a meeting was held yesterday morning at the office of Chancellor E. H. Lindley to determine the University policy regarding the drinking of liquor at the University for the school year 1933-34, it is reported.
The group of University and Lawrence officials discussing the situation was composed of Chancellor E. H. Lindley; Professor Henry Werner, men's student adviser; Gordon Schuh-mahr; Professor Thomas of Student Council; W. J. Cummings, Lawrence chief of police; and R. B. Stevens, Douglas county attorney.
The problem has increased this year, because the changed attitude by many toward drinking has made some persons think that because beer can be drunk here, it is Kansas City. It can be drunk here also. It was brought out in the meeting.
Though they have arrived at no definite method of combatting the problem, Stevens said that he believed that there has been more drinking among the students recently than in former years and that the most effective way to to deal with the situation would be to go
"We have no control over what students do when they are away from the University, but as long as intoxicated liquor is unlawful in Kansas, it will be our policy to encourage students to drink alcohol in law," Jaws's Dean Werner said this morning.
3 the sources of liquor distribution and catch the bootlegger rather than to arrest the students caught drinking.
In order to do this, he proposes enlisting the aid of the campus officials and the Men's Student Council.
The question of what to do concerning the situation will be brought up in the student council for discussion, but no specific next year, according to Schuhmacher.
According to Dean Werner, plans should be made so that authorities can cope with the situation if occasion arises next fall.
Injured in Auto Accident
Trackmen's Car Turns Over While Returning From Meet in Lincoln
Theo Graves, Harold Gay and Charles Rogers, members of the University track team, Dean George F. Shaad, faculty representative to the Big six conference, and John Cunningham, brother of Glenn Cunningham, figured in an accident 10 miles north of Manatee as a boy returning from Lincoln, Neb., where he competed in the Big Six outdoor track meet.
They were traveling on a wet gravel road and at a corner the car skidded, turned around twice and then turned over.
Graves received several cuts but the other members of the party escaped with only minor injuries. The car was badly damaged.
The men received medical attention at the Indian reservation, a branch of Haskell Institute, near Mayeta. They returned to Lawrence with Dr. Allen and Ed Elbel, drivers of the other cars carrying the track team.
Two students of the University of Kansas, Rowena Longshore, c34, and Carl Watterberg, c34, escaped injury except for minor bruises, when the car in which they were riding was struck from the rear by an automobile that was apparently trying to pass, according to Miss Longshore
The accident occurred about 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon near White Church when the students were on their way to Kansas City.
Sachem Initiates Seven Candidates in Open Ceremony
Step From Old Snow Hall Added to Rock Chalk Cairn; Dr. Bailey Is Honored
Sachem, honorary senior men's organization held initiation ceremonies Sunday evening at 6:30 for seven men at the Rock Chalk Cairn. Those initiations were attended by Alfred V. White, Ed Sharpe, Maurice Rice, Karl Leidig, and Walter Simmons.
At the ceremony, a doorstep from old snow hall was placed in the Cairn and dedicated to Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry, who, with two twins from the science department, originated the Rock Chalkyell. The cell was composed on May 21, 1886, and daymarked its 47th anniversary.
The yell was suggested by Dr. Bailey at the annual meeting of the "If Club." an organization of advanced students and faculty members of the science department. In its original form it was, however, a call to work with Ostrich and was in no way connected with athletics, which were established in 1890.
In the fall of 1886 Professor Marsh, of the English school, substituted the words "Rock Chalk" for "Rah Rah", symbolizing the rock chalk stratum which cover the Hill and most of the state.
In 1887-88 the yell was officially adopted by the University. It was used to inspire soldiers in the Cuban insurrection, the Philippines, the Boxer rebellion, and the World War. At the end of the war, one of the chosen the best and most typical college yell in the world, and since then has been copied by many schools.
By 1905, the yell had reached its present form. The first two lines were repeated slowly with an elongation and a drop in pitch of the K. U. The last three lines were then given in sharp staccate. The words to the yell are carved in stone three inches high on three of the garyloys along the frieze at the south-east corner of Dyche museum. The work was done by a student working his way through the University.
Snow hall was completed in 1886, and was named after Dr. Snow, a member of the faculty who came with the founding of the University. Before the erection of Dyche, the museum was placed in Snow just after it was completed. The gym was put in the basement, and when it was found that the ceiling was too low, the floor was deepened, thereby weakening the foundation and causing the building to be condemned in 1929.
The Cairn was destroyed by vandals a short time ago, and since then has been completely rebuilt. The doorstep has been placed across the front, and a cornerstone from old North College remains at the North side. It is planned to have a rock from every building on the campus placed in the cairn.
Fraser Picture Is Sought
Likeness of Second Chancellor Missing From Corridor
The large photograph of General John Fraser, second chancellor of the University, which formerly hung in a corridor of Fraser hall, has disappeared.
The picture was taken from the wall about two years ago, in order for A. H. Clark, portrait artist, to make a portrait of General Fraser from the photograph. In some way the picture was and was never returned to Fraser ball.
Attention was called again this morning to the loss when M. W. Sterling, professor of Latin and Greek, asked the Kansan to aid in the search. Professor Kansan was a member of the committee which placed the pictures in Fraser hall.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the Chancellor, said this morning that attempts had been made from time to time to locate the picture, but no definite information as to exactly who happened to it could be determined. Mr. Sterling or Professor Sterling will welcome information as to where the picture can be found.
Alpha Sigma Nu Initiates
Alpha Sigma Nu, honorary physical education sorority, held initiation services last night for Josephine Pyle, c'34; Margaret Walker, ed34; Fern Baker, ed34; Elizabeth Hinsaw, c'34; and Carol Hunter, c'34. Officers were also elected, Carol Hunter being chosen as president for the coming year, and Josephine Pyle as secretary-treasurer of the organization.
