Library Show Fetes Relays
An exhibit honoring the KU Relays is on display in the Kansas Room of Watson Library.
The exhibit features information about two outstanding men who have participated in KU Relays, Glenn Cunningham and Jim Bausch.
Cunningham was the only performer in the Bix Six and Big Seven to win two American Olympics berths (1500 meter race). In 1932 he placed fourth, and in 1936 he placed second and still broke an Olympic record.
Jim Bausch was a letterman in three sports—football, basketball, and track. He was the first KU representative to play in the East-West Shrine game in 1931. He was a charter member of the Football Hall of Fame and winner of the decathlon in the 1932 Olympics where he set a new record in scoring.
He once held simultaneously world records for both the indoor and outdoor mile. He was the first man to be mentioned prominently for the four-minute mile. He won the 880 and two-mile races at a conference outdoor meet in the same afternoon.
Jay Richardson, Bartlesville, Okla,
junior, has been selected president
of the Student Union Activities for
next year.
The display tells of the early history of the KU Relays when track events were held in unusual places, such as the driving park outside of Lawrence and the skating rink downtown.
The SUA officers are the executive committee which plan and run the Kansas Union activities. Officers are selected on a basis of merit and service to the organization during the previous year.

KU Presbyterians To Open Center
United Presbyterian students on KU tomorrow will hold the first meeting in -the newly-completed Westminster Center at 12th and Oread.
Recently-elected and retiring officers of all KU United Presbyterian organizations will hold their annual retreat from 1 to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the $300,000 center. The students will evaluate United Presbyterian activities of this school year and will plan for next year.
The first worship service in the new chapel in the center will take place at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The installation of officers will be part of that service.
Construction on the Westminster Center began Feb. 16, 1959, and the Westminster Foundation accepted the building last March 1.
John H. Patton, pastor to KU United Presbyterian students, said accepting the center meant the foundation would begin paying the insurance premiums and utility bills there.
Dr. Fatton said personal contributions from students and friends accounted for two-fifths of the cost of the new Westminster Center. He said the Kansas United Presbyterian Synod matched the contributions at approximately a 3.5 ratio. This means personal contributions for the center amounted to about $120,000 while the Synod gave some $180,000.
'His,Hers' Floats Shape Up With Chicken Wire, Paste
Goes from Freezer-Cooler
LUMBERTON, N. C. — (UPI) — Elizabeth McKellard, 26, was sentenced to six months in the cooler yesterday after a bail bondsman found her hiding in a food freezer where she had locked herself to avoid a court appearance' on a liquor charge.
THINK WELL MAKE IT—Nancy Kauffman, Emporia, Sarah Byram, Lenexa sophomore, both Kappa Kappa Gammas, and John B. Askew, Wichita sophomore, Phi Kappa Psi, work feverishly to prepare their float for tomorrow's parade in downtown Lawrence. The theme of their house's float will be "Footsteps on the Sands of Time." This is the first year that men's and women's houses have worked together in preparing the relays floats.
Feverish activity began at nine locations in Lawrence this morning as houses entering floats in the Relays Parade began to assemble their entries. The parade begins at 10 tomorrow morning on Massachusetts Street.
There are nine float entries in the parade. This is the first time in the history of the parade that men and women have worked together on floats.
Most of the houses divided the work. Last night when the houses began to put the final touches on their part of the project, there was some consternation in various quarters over new developments.
"We had plans all worked out for a Jayhawker on our float," Judy Appleton, Belleville, Ill., sophomore and chairman of the Sigma Kappa float moaned, and then the Delts called up and told us to make it smaller.
"On top of that, we don't know how we are going to put a papermache on some columns we need on the float," she said.
"Everything seems to be going all right now. I hope things go the same way tomorrow when we assemble it with the girls," a Delta Chi spokesman said.
Two doors down from the Sigma Kappas, the Delta Chi's were finishing their half of the float they are building with Alpha Chi Omega.
Meanwhile, the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Phi Kappa Psi fraternity began the "battle of the chicken wire" in their attempt to beat tomorrow morning's deadline.
Some of the fraternities and sororities have been debating whether or not to mark various parts of the floats "His" and "Hers."

CORVAIR BY CHEVROLET DRIVE IT! GET OUR DEAL!!!!
A pair of Corvairs recently recorded 27.03 and 26.21 miles per gallon in the 2,061.4-mile Mobilgas Economy Run. That's certified proof that Corvair skimps on gas costs. It saves other ways, too. Corvair is the only U.S. compact car that never needs antifreeze or costly radiator repairs. Come in and drive the compact car that outdoes them all.
Things Corvair gives you that America's other compact cars can't:
Practically flat floor . . . real foot room for the man in the middle. Fold-down rear seat gives 17.6 cu. ft. of extra storage space. Four-wheel independent suspension for a smoother, flatter ride.
Rear-engine traction . . . that comes with the engine's weight bearing down on the rear wheels.
You probably realize already that the mileage figures Corvairs recorded in the Mobil-
gas Run are higher than the average driver can expect. But because the cars met every kind of driving condition—rugged mountain grades, long country straightaways, congested city traffic—those mileage figures prove
Corvair's inherent ability to save. Operating costs take a nose dive the day you take delivery of a Corvair.
