Annual Lewis Prize Essay Contest Offers $250 to Contestants
Theme of Manuscripts Must Be Upon Applied Christianity to Be Eligible
The Hattie E. Lewis prize essay contest is again announced to the students of the University of Kansas. The scholarship are offered on the campus, and consists of four prizes: first prize, one hundred dollars; second prize, seventy-five dollars; third prize, fifty thousand and fourth prize, twenty-five dollars.
For the past 17 years these prizes have been offered on the best essays on applied Christianity. The memorial was established in 1971 in memory of George E. Patrick, a student of the University of Kansas. It was founded by Prof. George E. Patrick, of Washington D. C., and is owned by the Counselor E. H. Lindley. Professor Patrick was a member of the faculty of the University of Kansas from 1874-1883, and founded this memorial of his wife Hattie E. Little.
This memorial takes the form of an annual competition in essay writing, and is open to all students. The theme of the essay may be "The app of the human heart," the practical affairs and relation of life, individual, social, industrial commercial, or political." Each essay must deal with a single definite subject, or a single phase of life. Some essays will address the application of the teachings of Jesus as to "War Doctrine," "Recognition of Russian Russia as to our Relations with them," "Ideals and Practices of Organized Groups on International Finance," "Capital," "World Peace," and "Administration of Public Affairs."
The conditions governing this essay are: each contestant must, not later than April first, hand in a sealed envelope containing the contestant and a tentative outline of the discussion, to the chancellors office. On the outside of this envelope, you should have the name of the contestant and the exact title of the essay. The essays must be dated at least 10,000 words in length. In 1929 three typewritten copies, with footnotes giving the references cited, were handed in at the chancellor's office.
The awards will be announced Commencement day, and the winner of the first prize not only will receive the money, but also the honor of having his essay printed in book form. The award for the year were awarded to Ernest D. Tyler, A.B. 28*, first prize, Eldith Beach, c29*, second prize, third prize was divided between Constance Nucklec, c29*, and Josephine Blades, A.B. 28*.

Wright Field Experiments
New "Orientator" Simulate
Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 27. — A device that simulates flying conditions and produces the psychological effect to the beginning airman of an airplane in motion has been developed here at the Wright Field Experimental Flying Test Station, years later, it was revealed today by Lexis Albert I. Hebergemeyer.
Flying Conditions
As yet without a technical name but known temporarily as an "orientator" or apparatus designed to accelerate the notice to the free market by producing excellent results and when further perfected may entirely take the place of the "Ruggles" orientor, the standard device of the same general use.
At a casual glance the 'orientator' looks very much like the Rugles apparatus since it is about the plane. The apparatus has not been reinforced. However, it has certain murked and revolutionary differences. Lieut. Hegerberger explains. Whereas the former device is able to simulate the control apparatus of a plane and conduct an airplane flight without neither propeller nor engine. But the new 'orientator' has all these things and is thus able to give all the plane's basic movements, such as take-off, landing and right stability, the roar of the engine plus the attendant strong blast of air, and precisely the same loops and turns as are made by an actual plane's wings. The 'orientator' is equipped with a regulation aeron or moveable flat flap that serves to keep the ship from wobbling from side to side. The apparatus is electrically controlled and does not vibrate. The aircraft is very similar to that of a plane.

There actually were six men at Losing who had college work and many of them had been older than the other men. Their scores of 89, 125, 127, 128, and two of the three men making 89, the highest score of them had degrees but all of them had degrees but all of them
"Probably about five or six of the men were really capable of being fair college students," Newman stated.
In a questionnaire on the top of the tests the men were asked more or less personal questions as to their ages, business skills, capacity, amount of boiling, sex, and race. Some would not, or did not answer all of the individual questions but among the white men, Indians, and Negroes present a divergence; some had been mechanics; two, farmers; two, cooks; two, miners, and two, laborers. Among the other men there was a stenographer who had spent two years grinding a grinder, a blacksmith, a railroad man, an oil worker, a salesman, an Irish musician, a barber, a pattern moulder, a truck driver, a man who had worked with motors, another he worked with "mail news bags."

That the intelligence of convicts and prisoners is of average and low ratings is revealed in intelligence reports, such as Elwin Newman, of the department of psychology, have recently been giving admissions at Lansing and Hutchinson.
"They returned nearly all of the pencils we gave them. College students return about half of the pencils they write with," was Newman's addition.
Newman and Baldwin have been giving them the army alpha test after approximately one year stays in their order to discern whether or not they have made any mental progress since their entrance. The army alpha test measures the average student's closest approach that anyone has ever made to it is 208. Newman says that the average college student can make progress to do so with any degree of entrance into college should have at least 100 or more points before expecting to do so with any degree of entrance into college. They tested at Lansing it was discovered among other interesting facts that they rated about 73, as high as the average for grades all way from 6 to 155. While the younger men at Hutchinson did not make as high averages as the older grads all way from 4 to 155. The Lansing men range from 19 to 35 years of age and those at 35 are the greatest mental advances and progress according to their own statements.

As Newman and Baldwin entered the office of Dr. Sherman Axton, prison surgeon and physician, and he gave the prisoners the tests, they were greeted by a trusty prisoner who was at one time a member of the K. U. Jailhouse, where he established and asked all about the University and the teachers of the School of Law. He does clinical work for the prison, gives and scores the intelligence tests.
The prisoners school is divided into five grades which really cover all of the city schools. They grade in the city schools. Their intelligence grades run D; D, C; C, C plus, B, and B. Nine make D+; nine make B+; eleven; eleven; c eight; b three; and A three.

“at least the same ones stopped doing it,” he said.
Practically all of the men co-operated willingly with the idea of the facts and only one or two cases of crime occurred. When Nawman spoke to them about it and requested them as a guide, they were good sports about it.
K. U. Thief Makes High Score
The highest mark ever made in the university game, scored by a boy who is well remembered at K. U. He came here from Arkansas University, passed himself off with the car in a backseat of the chapter he stole, a large quantity of clothes from the fraternity house, wrote bad checks, and was sentenced to Hitchcock for a violin visit. He was here in 1925-27.

"That man might be able to do well in a non-language test and probably has a good intellect," remarked Baldwin as he picked up the paper of a student from Cobbleze, Germany, and had learned to write and read in English.
The man who made the most money was a salesman who earned $250 a month. He had part of a high school education. Another man wrote that he gained from his occupation Baldwin said it was not probable. He wrote also that he had "sex appeal" on the line for sex. The man who reported making the least amount of money said he got paid for pushing cool cars in the mines.
Another prisoner proudly admitted that he was from the state of "Muscow" and was of the "white" race, education, and an eighth grade education.

Does Mr. Rogers Fall Heir to Buddy's Ties
"Bert Rogers, managing editor of the Olathe Mirror."
To the newspaper man this introduction would be enough, but to the public the monte would, no doubt, take over. "I want a man," Mr. Rogers is "Bubby's" and that.
Seldom it is that a parent is identified in connection with his son's achievement and it is not necessarily being the father of his famous twenty-four-year-old son, the editor of *of interest for his own personality*.
Mr. Rogers, an immaculately groomed man of middle age, is never seen without a vivid red necktie. Just how or why it was that he started the
worring of the red is a matter of conjecture, but to certain that show a difference. You can make the flaming crevet a subject of justice he would not dispense with it until you get a conviction.
That the chicken gizzards should be saved for "her" that almost become all too obvious, is the Lutheran plaint in field every summer near Olatie. That Mr. Rogers is not a member of the Lutheran church, because he is welcome everywhere.
As his bobby Mr. Rogers still tended the 20 car sweet-chever patch on which he and "Buddy" started raising seeds some time ago. It is enclosed in a white post and harbored-wire fence. When the patch of the crop is "Magnaplin Manor."
