Book Contest to Award $125 in Cash Prizes
A total of $125 in prize money will be given to winners of the third annual Taylor Book Collection Contest. Sponsored by Watson Library, the contest is open to all students, except previous winners, until March 21.
The best collection will receive an award of $85. A second prize of $40 is also being given.
"The prizes offer some inducement to the students to become interested in the literature of their chosen fields. Personal interests are just as good as professional interests," said Robert L. Quinsey, assistant director of libraries, who is in charge of the contest. All entries must be submitted to Mr. Quinsey.
He said that the prize money for the book collections is donated by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Taylor, of Kansas City, Mo. Although Mrs. Taylor is not connected with the University, she is an enthusiastic book collector, Mr. Quinsey explained.
Contest rules are:
1. The books must be owned by the student, and must have been collected by him.
2. Regardless of the size of a contestant's total library or collection, entries will be limited to a selection of not less than 20 titles, nor more than 50.
3. Each entry will be judged for content and for quality according to the subject of interest and the stated purpose of the collector. Size of the collection, monetary value of the books, and age of the books will not be considered of primary importance.
4. Each contestant will submit a bibliography of his collection with a statement, not over 400 words, of his purpose in making the collection. This should include some reference to the circumstances under which the collection was made
5. After preliminary judging, which will be made on the basis of the bibliographies and statements, finalists will be asked to bring the collections to Watson Library for final judging.
Males! Guard Your Honor
6. After the judges' final decision, to be announced April 23, winning collections may be exhibited in the Library or in the Kansas Union. Other finalists must call for their books before April 30.
Henry P. Smith, professor of education, later modified the remark by saying that since girls mature two to three years earlier than boys, they have an earlier start on puberty and must use their heads. A boy can blunder around and get along all right.
"Girls start after boys long before boys realize it. Part of this comes from the role of the female in American culture. There are powerful cultural differences coming from the role girls have to play in life. We begin to scare our girls to death early in life," said Prof. Smith.
"I think more boys are seduced than girls."
This startling statement immediately awoke one professor's early morning class.
"We indoctrinate our girls with a 'scare action.' Boys are just turned loose and get home the best way they can," he said.
Lumber Stolen From Stouffer Sidewalk
The theft was reported to the campus police by M. R. Surprenant, building inspector for the state architect. Mr. Surprenant said that the lumber, 16 2x4s, was piled with some other lumber along the sidewalks near Building No. 2.
He explained his point of view with the example of not allowing girls to go out at night early in life.
Lumber valued at $16 was reported stolen from Stouffer Place sometime between Saturday noon and Monday morning.
The Incas had no written language.
