12 From KU to Construct Chapel on Mountainside
Twelve KU students will spend three weeks this summer building a chapel on a New Mexico mountain-side.
The Westminster Fellowship Workcamp, a Presbyterian students' group, will finish building an outdoor chapel! at the Loma Verde campgrounds at Taos Canyon, New Mexico. The students will work at the camp from June 2 to 6.
Dr. John H, Patton, professor of religion, will be the workcamp director. Mrs. Patton will also make the trip. The group will travel in three cars, camping out, sleeping in church basements or cabins en route to Taos Canyon.
Construction of the chapel, at the Loma Verde camp for Spanish-American youth, was started last year when the roof and supports were completed.
This summer the workers will pour a 30 by 60 foot concrete floor.
put up four walls and build a fireplace.
"Although Loma Verde camp is operated by the United Presbyterian Church, a great many other groups such as scouts and farm youth organizations use the grounds for conferences in addition to the regular sessions throughout the summer," Dr. Patton said.
"Because we planned this project last year, the Rev. Julian Duran, the camp's summer director, will not allow campers there while we work."
The students will do without some of civilization's niceties. They must build their own shower stall and heat snow water from a nearby stream to use in it. The water will be poured from the top of the shower.
Dr. Patton said:
Dr. Patton said:
"Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and all day Sundays will be work breaks. Hard labor like pouring concrete is rough on muscles unaccustomed to it, so two and one half days of work at one clip leaves enough sore muscles."
The students will takes rides and excursions during afternoons off in order to learn as much as they can about the area. They will visit the Taos art center in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico, old plaza towns, and cliff dwelling sites.

Jumpy Cow Bags Booze
AYR, Scotland—(UPI)—A three-year-old champion heifer which charged a crowd here yesterday was given a fine old Scottish remedy to quiet frightened cows—half a bottle of Scotch whisky.
His undergraduate grade average is 2.4.
Carlson has been active in Quill Club, French clubs, and Wesley Foundation. He has been president of the National Collegiate Players Assn.
The fellowship appointments are given for outstanding academic ability and intellectual vigor, personal qualities giving promise of success in the classroom, and serious inquiry within the Christian tradition.
"There is not much around the theater that I haven't done. I have worked on lights, sound, crew positions, but I like acting best," he said.
Carlson said he plans to teach after receiving his doctorate and continued. "I also want to try my hand at playwriting."
Architects Show Artist's Designs
The display, the work of artist Eugene Masselink, who had been associated with Mr. Wright since 1933, features a harmonious relationship between art and architecture.
An exhibit entitled "Integral Ornament" featuring art work designed for the buildings planned by architect Frank Lloyd Wright is on display in the Architectural Library in Marvin Hall.
This is consciously built into the room or building of which it is a part, taking its motifs from the overall character of the building.
The exhibition will remain on display through May 22.

Speaker Lauds Aid to Latin Am. Libraries
"Very few cities maintain their own public libraries," she said. "The library in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is one of the few maintained by government funds."
Establishing the Benjamin Franklin library in Mexico City was one of the most significant things the United States has ever done in Mexico, the Cervantes Day speaker said Saturday.
The scholarshipships, $250 each, are financed through an endowment established by members of the Ahrens family of Paola: Henry D. Ahrens, Darwin Ahrens, and their late sister, Della Ahrens.
"The U. S. Information Agency has been of great importance in the development of Latin American libraries," said Marietta Daniels, a 1933 graduate of KU and now associate librarian of the Columbus Memorial Library of the Pan American Union in Washington, D.C.
"There has not been a great need for libraries in Latin America until very recently," she said. "Schools have been slow in organizing libraries. Students have not been required to do supplementary reading, and they have not needed libraries.
"There were very few librarians trained before World War II, and those who were trained were sent to the U.S." she said.
She said the most fundamental problem of Latin American libraries is the training of librarians.
The five honor students are Charles Koelsch, Ronald Hinkle and Carl Smith of Paola; Ralph Gage Jr., of Ottawa, and Robert Wilson of Mound City.
She said that many excellent libraries are supported by private institutions, however.
Miss Daniels spoke at the 35th annual Cervantes Day activities Saturday in Fraser Hall. Cervantes Day marks the death of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of "Don Quixote," on April 23, 1616.
"The schools do not offer courses in using the librarian," she said. "Students usually know how to use reference books, but they are really facing a problem when they have to write a research paper."
Prep Honor Students Get Ahrens Awards
