5 Deans Plan Trips to Western Kansas
Thomas Gorton, dean of the school of fine arts, left today for Northwest Kansas where he has speaking engagements in St. Francis, Oberlin and Phillipsburg.
Dean Gorton was accompanied by Gerald Pearson, director of extension classes, who said 'the purpose of the trip is to give the people of that area a report of what the school of fine arts is trying to do in 1958
M. C. Slough, dean of the law school, Burton Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, Francis Heller, associate dean of the college of liberal arts, and Donald K. Alderson, dean of men will also go to Northwest Kansas during October. James Surface, dean of the school of business, plans a similar trip in March.
The itineraries of Dean Slough, Dean Alderson and Dean Marvin call for them to visit Plainville, Colby and Goodland, Prof. Heller will visit St. Francis, Oberlin and Phillipsburg.
Police Chief Joe G. Skillman said today that the purpose of speed checks is not to catch speeders and levy fines against them, but to slow traffic.
Speed Checks To Slow Traffic
"The campus must be made safe for pedestrians and these checks will continue regularly throughout the year," he added.
"We feel it is fairer to the campus people that these checks be continued so that everyone will be conscious there is a speed limit and it is being enforced," Chief Skillman said.
An estimated 20 to 25 speeders have been taken into police court as a result of these checks. The latest speed check was Wednesday night.
Chief Skillman made these statements regarding five speed checks conducted on campus by campus police since Sept. 15.
In this connection, Chief Skillman observed that the traffic department is critical of speeding at night as well as during the day. Although the volume of pedestrian traffic at night is reduced, the hazard is increased because of decreased visibility.
The campus speed limit is 20 miles an hour, except south from the 4-way stop at 16th St. on Naismith Dr., where it is 30 miles an hour.
Kansas was fourth in the nation in 1950 for net yards rushing with 3,116.
The deans will speak at the high schools, before civic clubs and before special audiences at each of the towns. The program has been arranged by Phillip Stockton, University extension representative for Northwest Kansas with offices at Colby.
Each of the deans will give the people a report of his particular school. They will also visit University alumni in that particular area.
Dean Slough will be at Colby Oct. 15; Goodland, Oct. 14; and Plainville, Oct. 16.

SUA Plans Carnival; Skits, Queen, LMOC

There'll be balloons, cotton candy, a king and queen. The first campus queen of the season will be nominated by organized houses and crowned at the carnival with the winning "Little Man on the Campus."

After the show awards will be given and the carnival queen, her attendants and the LMOC will be presented. The queen and LMOC will be chosen by votes of ticket holders.
Three prizes will be given for the women's skirts and two given to the men's judged outstanding by faculty members. Standards for judging are: originality, 10 per cent; costuming, 20 per cent; presentation, 30 per cent; entertainment value, 30 per cent; and ticket sales, 10 per cent.
Three prizes will be given to both men's and women's divisions in booths. Judging will be based largely on entertainment value and carnival-like quality.
Each house will have an adviser appointed by SUA to help with skits and booths.
Queen candidates will be introduced at the University of Oklahoma football game that Saturday. LMOC candidates will campaign the week before the Carnival.
Voting will stop at 10 p.m. Tickets will not be sold after 10:30 p.m. Organized houses will get 100 per cent rebates from ticket sales.
