In commenting upon this achievement, Deardorff said today, "I was extraordinarily gratified in receiving word of the high award given the 1952 Jayhawk, of which I had the extreme pleasure of editing. I realize full well that the result of last year's book was due in a large measure to the spirit of co-operation from the many co-opitions of my staff. May I take this opportunity to thank those who ardent efforts this award must be credited. "The theme of last year's book was the beauty of the University of Kansas campus. This subject was carried out by use of greetings from nationally prominent men concerning the beauty of the campus. In no other year book has there been such an outstanding assemblage of eminent notable alumni, Admiral Hale E. Byrd, Pt. Whiteman, Norman Thomas, Joss C. Carper, Ben Bernie, Walter Winchell, Norman Anthony, and Danie Algebrer. "It is exceedingly gratifying to note that year book every year since the 1928 Jayhawk has been an All-American book. It speaks well for the choice of editors and their choice for this annual student publication, the clear and perfect mirror of University personalities and activities." Bridge Contest to Start Joe E.

Rutledge urges that every organized house eater a team. A cup will be given to the organized house winning the tournament. Team No. 1 has four players, A, B, C, and D. Team No. 2 has players W, X, Y, and Z. A and B play north and south, W and X play east and west at table No. 1. C and D play east and west, Y, and Z play north and south at table No. 2. Each table plays with identical hands. A perfect score for north and south is 2700. For east and west the score is 1100. If each table plays perfect bridge, the teams will tie with a perfect score of 3600 points. However, a perfect score is not probable. The scores of W X and CD are determined with those of W X and Y Z to determine the winners of the match. Eight hands will be played in each match.

Riding in his huge 16-cylinder ear speaking from a large truck wired for sound, the moustached, bespectacled Milford man has toured every county of the state, and his radio speeche have been almost nightly. Woodding, too, has made a strong campaign. He has found time to speak frequently, and his organization has sent them to drive into every section of the state. Briktley, due to his great race as an independent two years ago, when he polled 180,000 voters has attracted attention of many veterans, and his colorful campaign has been one of the features of the vote drive.

Doherty companies, a charge which was promptly denied. Brinkley, a Republican, did Day T. Helvering, Democratic state chairman, had paid a disgruntled Doherty employee to make the charges against Brinkley. Landon, conducting a less spectacular campaign, nevertheless has determined carried his drive into hundreds of towns throughout the state. He has threatened to put his supporters behind Him.

Van Meensel Campus Character Dies at Age of 81 Known Best as 'Van the Animal Man'; Always Had Cheery Greeting for Students WAS RALLY SPEAKER Death Topic of Conversation Van had been ill for about a month but expected all the time to be back on the Hill in a few days. Van, who had been caretaker since 1818 for the experimental animals used by the departments of physiology and psychology, came to the United States 50 years ago. He was born in Antwerp, Belgium, Sept. 18, 1851. Stanis F, M. Van Meesel, known in generations of University students as V, the animal man, died at his home, 1640 Illinois street, at 10 o'clock this morning of heart disease. He was 81 years old. Death Topic of Conversation His death superseded the election and the football game with Missouri state conventions. Susan also conventions in student group today. known to nearly every person who attained the University, Van was taken for his cheery smile and hearty interest in campus life. He was a cheerful character, even with a warm smile and giving a cheer "hello" in return. Might of stature, his scraggly brown mastache ruffled by Reredd's breezes, his blackened old pips going—the spirit of Van will longe about the Hill as long as there are any alumni to return who knew him. They will see him in the haze of the afternoon but time of day, morning sunlight or time of day, earrings with the bucket of animal and the shiny "KU" monogram sequentially displayed. Beginning journalists cut their eye-ethnic writing features about him, and he never beamed impatient with them. Students of physiology, psychology, and other departments which required his services as animal caretaker, looked upon him as a combination of "Dutch Uncle" and pal. 'Dutch Uncle and Pal' Van for years was a regular attendant at all football rallies, and not infrequently was called on for a speech. The cry of the team was to give up to him, and he made use of it in his per talk. His last appearance in this role was in the grease game fairly before the Missouri game here three years ago, when he joined "You know what the soldiers say; 'B golly, they shall not sell." Since then, Van nodded to make a request that he would not do it—it ook too much of his strength. Not the Same Without Him In past years he has always been a captured speaker at "Hobo Day" conventions. His speech almost invariably is framed in antimony and we're going to beat hell out of Missouri. It won't be the same Friday morning without him. "We are certainly demeaned at but we are proud," he said of the psychology department, said today of his death. "His daily rounds were always looked forward to, because he always had a chorey word or a joke. He was loved by all of us, and he will be." granty inviting Mr. Van Meenel to the widow, two daughters: Mrs. George Church, Stillwater, Okla, and Mrs. Minnie Kleinstein, Hanover, Kan; and two twins: Sydney, of the home, and Stanis, of Seattle.
