40 Plan Sunday Humor Faculty to Use Radio
day of radio programming Sunday to aid underprivileged and day of radio programming Sunday to aid underprivileged and crippled children.
The faculty members are among almost 100 Kiwanis members who will use the services of the local radio station, KLWN, to present advertising the Kiwanians have sold and written by themselves.
"We've had a whale of a time making up humorous ads and it should be a lot of fun presenting them over the air," said Kenneth Deemer, professor of mechanical engineering.
Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice, will present a singing commercial for a local firm. During the Kiwanis Radio Day members will report on Kiwanis work.
"If we didn't have the regulars out there, we might tear up the places." Prof. Deemer said.
The regular radio staff will be present during the day and regular programs will be heard through most of the day.
He said the organization expects to collect nearly $600 from the sale of the advertising, which will go to buying gifts for needy children at Christmas time.
The owner of the station, Arden Booth, allows the Kiwarians to have a day annually for their drive. The club keeps money from the sale of advertising for club projects.
Scholarship Ratio Varies in Schools
(Editor's Note: This is the third in a series of four articles on scholarship at KU. The final article tomorrow will discuss scholarship halls.)
By James Trotter
Scholarship in the various schools at KU vary widely in number and monetary amount.
The School of Engineering has the largest number of departmental scholarships available, but it has only one scholarship for every 24 students enrolled in the school.
There are 70 available scholarships and 1,725 students enrolled in the school. The scholarships run from $50 to $800 per year.
The School of Education, with five departmental scholarships, has the least number of scholarships available according to its enrollment.
There is only one scholarship available for every 154 students enrolled this semester. The school has an enrollment of 771.
The Kansas Congress of Parents and Teachers gives four $200 scholarships and the Prairie Village School District Teachers Association grants one $150 award.
Pine Arts are tied in having the most scholarships available per student. Each school has one scholarship for every seven students.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS
56th Year, No.121
Each department within the University will have to determine the adjustments of its service, the Chancellor said.
"Some departments may find it necessary to close on Saturday mornings while others may remain open with skeleton staffs by means of adjusting the work weeks of several employees.
"The change comes at an awkward time for the University. To keep up the present rate of efficiency, it will have to employ more people since the present staff will not be working such long hours."
All civil service employees of the University will go on the 40-hour work week beginning May 1.
He said the janitors will not be able to do as much work on a 40-hour week.
KU Cuts Work Week
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced yesterday that the State Department of Administration has directed all classified personnel be paid on a monthly basis.
"In practical terms, the 40-hour week for classified employees is the only alternative," Chancellor Murphy said.
Asked how he feels about the change, Chancellor Murphy said:
The University has been operating in a 44-hour week for civil service employees. Most maintenance employees have been paid on an hourly basis at straight time rate regardless of the number of hours over 44.
Secretaries will most likely have days off staggered and University offices will not be closed on Saturday, he said.
Classified personnel constitute nearly all of the University staff who do not hold teaching positions. Approximately 750 persons are involved.
Buildings and Grounds maintenance workers had petitioned the administration for a 40-hour work week and pay on a monthly basis in February.
Chancellor Murphy said that the shorter work week will mean no Saturday campus mail service and will pose some real problems on evening activities.
Low civil service pay scales make further employment difficult, the Chancellor said.
Snow to Continue
Instead of the recent "Lone Star weather" this morning students were rewarded with a snow storm.
Even though the snow stopped splattering in students' faces at mid morning, the weatherman predicts more snow.
The forecast calls for heavy snow in the eastern part of Kansas, with occasional snow tonight with a narrow band of snow, two to four inches, from south central Kansas through the northeast portion.
Tomorrow it will be partly cloudy in the northeast, with rain or snow in the extreme west and southwest.
The low temperature tonight should be from 25 to 35. High tomorrow is predicted in the 45 to 55 degree range.
