Around the Campus Blake Not Included Pinet to Teach in KU Expansion School in Sicily
The wiring and heating fixtures have been removed.
The building was formerly used for physics and engineering classes.
Remodeling Blake Hall is not included in the $15 million University expansion plan announced by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy on Friday.
The questionnaires should be returned to the dean of men's office by noon Saturday.
Buildings and grounds department has been storing furniture and small pieces of equipment in the building which is east of Watkins Hospital.
Gifts for Research Total $54,808
The Legislature appropriated $350,000 in 1957 to remodel the building but this project was halted when the low bid came in at $550,-675.
The questionnaires were sent to sophomore and freshman men under the age of 21 who are at KU for the first time this semester. They are designed to obtain information about the new student's adjustment to university life in matters pertaining to finance, employment, housing, academic, religious, extra-curricular and student services.
KU Seeks Problems Of New Students
Three grants and contracts have given KU a total of $54,808 for research study.
About 1,800 questionnaires were mailed last week to new KU students to find out what problems new students have.
Of that money, approximately $23,000 is for the study of viruses in plant cells. Phillip Newmark, associate professor of biochemistry, will conduct the research.
Another $8,700 was given for a two year study on "Intestinal Absorption of Peptides." The study is to be done by H. W. Barrett, associate professor of biochemistry.
A two year Air Force contract for $23,000 will support research in new methods of analysis for various groups of organic compounds. The new methods will be used to produce rocket fuels and substances such as plastics.

2 to Be Interviewed For Marshall Grants
Gilbert Cuthbertson, Leavenworth, and David Ontjes, Hutchinson, both seniors, will be interviewed at the British Consulate General Office in Chicago Monday for Marshall Scholarships.
The Marshall Scholarship is offered by the government in the United Kingdom each year as an expression of gratitude for Marshall Plan Aid.
Few modern day students realize that when they sing the line in "I'm a Jayhawk" that goes 'talk about the Sooners, the Aggies and the Braves,' they are singing about the Haskell Indians.
When the song was written back in 1912, Haskell competed in intercollegiate athletics and was included on the KU football schedule.
"We didn't have any authority to do it," Mr. Ellsworth said. "We just hauled off and rewrote the words to include the names of KU's Big Eight opponents."
Alumni Secretary Fred Ellsworth decided that KU students and alumni had sung long enough about the Indians and revised the words to "Tm a Jayhawk" and brought them up to date.
Changes in Schedule Cause Revision of KU Pep Song
Since the original words were written in 1912, Colorado and Oklahoma State have been added to the Big Eight and Haskell is no longer a college.
The fact that K-Staters do not
like to be referred to as the "Aggies" was also taken into consideration and they are called Wildcats.
The new words to the popular KU song go:
I'm a Jayhawk By George "Dumpy" Bowles
(Revised, October, 1958, to conform with Big Eight Conference team names.)
Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffers,
Talk about the Tiger and his
tail
The chorus was not changed. "I'm a Jayhawk" is truly a KU song. It was written by George "Dumpy" Bowles, class of 1912, who longed to make his name at KU on the athletic field. Bowles, who was not big enough for athletics, turned to music and produced some outstanding musical shows while a student here.
Talk about the Wildcats,
And Those Cornhuskin' boys,
But I'm a bird to make 'em
weep and wail.
A song in one of these shows was
"I'm a Jayhawk." It was written for a 1912 production but was dormant until 1920 when a great uprising of school spirit brought the song out once more.
This time it stuck and along with "Crimson and Blue" has been the most popular school song.
The song contributed to the raising of funds to build both the Memorial Stadium and the Kansas Union. The 1926 University glee club made it nationally known.

M. A. degrees at Cambridge University and B.A. and Ph.D. degrees at London University.
The main difference between English and American universities is the number of examinations given, claims Norman J. G. Pounds the visiting Rose Morgan professor this year.
Prof. Pounds said here examinations are given frequently, some in fact, each week.
He was a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin in 1949, and in 1950, he was invited to Indiana University where he has been ever since.
duct all my courses in such a way, he said.
Prof. Pounds is teaching a course in European geography, and is conducting a graduate and inter-departmental seminar.
The teaching methods at American universities and English universities differ slightly, Prof. Pounds said.
At an English university, one examination is given covering the year's work, he said.
The great disadvantage to the English system is that students, the same everywhere, leave their work until the last month of school, he said.
More lecture courses are offered in England, so much so, that I con-
The examinations are three-hour papers which are graded by persons outside the school, who unfortunately do not know the students and at times the student is not given the justice he deserves, Prof. Pounds said.
A British geographer, Prof. Pounds, is teaching in the geography department. The Rose Morgan professorship is given each year on the bequest of the late donor with that name.
Prof. Pounds received B.A. and
