Peace Officers' School To Attract 150 to KU
The University of Kansas will play host to law enforcement officers from all over Kansas July 27-Aug.1 when they will gather to attend their 13th annual Training School.
Carol Elaine Sturgess of Kansas City, Mo., and Donald Duane Soller of Wichita, have been appointed General Motors scholars at KU. Each will receive a stipend based on need of up to $1,200.
General Motors Scholars Named
Miss Sturgess, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Sturgess, will be a senior at KU majoring in bacteriology. Her appointment fills a vacancy at the senior class level. Solter, who plans to major in physics, was graduated from Wichita North High School in May. He receives one of the three General Motors awards made available to KU each year for entering freshmen and which are renewable for four years. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. D. Duane Solter.
Miss Sturgess attended Central High School and Kansas City, Mo., Junior College. She entered KU last fall and held a residence scholarship in Sellards Hall, of which she has been vice president. She has been an honor student throughout her schooling and is in the gifted student program at KU. Upon graduation she plans to study medical technology at the KU Medical Center.
Solter was the ranking boy of the senior class at Wichita North where he was a member of the student council. Three times he was an officer of the Stump Club and he served the Science Club as vice president. He was an observer for the International Geophysical Year with his four-inch reflecting telescope. He was a finalist in the Sumnerfield Scholarship competition at KU last fall. His goal is to earn a doctorate degree in physics and enter research work or teaching.
Ballet Students Lose $26 During Practice
Students practicing the ballet lost more than $26 to a thief between 1 and 3 p.m. Friday in the dressing rooms at Hoch Auditorium.
The money was taken from the belongings of Sharon Huggard, Carol Rein, Suzy Doty and Jeff Angwin of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, campus police said.
Students have been advised to leave valuables at the police office in the lobby of Hoch.
The school is under the direction of the Governmental Research Center at KU. Approximately 150 officers will learn the skills of their trade in 41 hours' instruction. Classes will be held in the Kansas Union.
Special courses will deal with jail administration, handling mental cases, financial responsibilities, serving legal processes, and treatment of prisoners.
Kenneth E. Beasley, assistant director of the Research Center's training program, says the sessions are "primarily designed for sheriffs who have just recently been elected to office."
Regular classes for other officers will include a basic course for novice policemen, police science, and traffic investigation. Beasley said.
General daily lectures will be given each morning by instructors from the Highway Patrol, the attorney general's office, members of the KU faculty and guest experts in the area.
GOP Position To Van Sickle
A senior in political science at KU has been appointed executive secretary of the National Federation of Young Republicans.
He is Tom Van Sickle, 22, of Fort Scott, the nation's youngest Republican state legislator.
Ned Cushing, Downs banker, recently elected president of the Young Republicans, made the appointment, which is subject to confirmation by the organization's executive council, which will meet next month in Washington. D.C.
Van Sickle was elected representative from the 18th District last November. He will have offices in Washington and will co-ordinate Young Republican activities throughout the nation.
Treason Charges Dismissed
SAN FRANCISCO—(UPI)—Treason charges in the Powell-Schuman "germ warfare" case were dismissed Monday because the government has failed to obtain grand jury indictments.
The defendants were John W. Powell, 40, and his wife, Sylvia, 39, of San Francisco, and Julian Schuman, of New York City, who put out a Communist line magazine—the China Monthly Review—in Shanghai during the Korean War.

Anthrasteroids are structural rearrangement products of a class of steroids related to the D vitamins. There has been growing interest in the chemistry and biological properties of these substances because of the possibility that the type of chemical change involved in formation of anthrasteroids from steroids may be closely connected to the origin of cancer-inducing agents in the body.
Cancer Institute Gives KU Grant
The research is directed by Dr. Albert W. Burgstahler, assistant professor of chemistry.
The Cancer Institute of the U.S Public Health Service has granted $5,200 to the University of Kansas to support research for a year on the total synthesis of anthraceroids.
Dr. Burgstahler presented a paper at the recent American Chemical Society meeting in Boston on an important first stage in the synthetic program. He also has lectured on this work at the Parke-Davis Co. in Detroit, for which he is a chemical consultant on research.
Dr. Burgstahler, who obtained his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1953, had post-doctoral training at the University of London, Columbia University and the University of Wisconsin before coming to KU in 1953. Last summer he was a visiting scientist of the U.S. Public Health Service at the National Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Disease in the National Institutes of Health, Charles P. Kulier, graduate student from Chicago, is assisting Dr. Burgstahler with the project.

Lawrence Men Reappointed To University Fund Board
They are Ben Barteldes, appointed to a two-year term by the board's executive committee, and Skipper Williams, reappointed to a three-year term. Barteldes previously has been the fund chairman in Douglas County. Williams has been a board member since its creation in 1953.
Two Lawrence residents have been reappointed to the advisory board of the Greater University Fund at KU by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The fund is the annual giving program of KU. Through it, gifts are sought to provide for University needs for which state funds are not available, including scholarship and loan resources, more adequate student housing and unrestricted funds for use where need is greatest.
Since the program was begun, more than $600,000 has been given in 21,000 individual contributions. Chairman of the 1959-60 advisory board is Anderson Chandler of Topeka.
Asks Congress for $3,435,000
The largest item was $1,550,000 for the office of Saline water in the Interior Department, including $1,005,000 to construct the first demonstration plant for the conversion of sea water to fresh water.
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— President Eisenhower Monday asked Congress for $3,435,000 in supplemental appropriations for various executive departments for fiscal 1960.

Evolution of Horses Is Subject of Lecture
A two-minute lecture on the 60-million-year history of horses is being given these days in the basement of Dyche Museum.
The listener receives visual aid through a display of skulls, hoofs and teeth in six labeled phases of the evolution. Muti-colored lights flash on each specimen as the recording explains the changes that have occurred.
Mite Genetics Study Authorized in Grant
A supplementary grant of $2,500 has been made by the U.S. Public Health Service for a research project directed by Dr. Joseph R. Camin, associate professor of entomology at the University of Kansas. The study, for which an initial grant of $9,000 was made in December with a 3-year commitment of about $40,000, is on the role of mite genetics in transmission of blood and other diseases.
