WHAT CONVOCATION?—was the most widely asked question in the Hawk's Nest this morning. Several students (several thousand) went
to the Kansas Union instead of the year's first convocation. Those jubilant looks will probably disappear with the first hour exam.
Douglas County Alumni Set Up $2,000 Aid Fund
A new student aid fund, through which contributions of Douglas County alumni and friends will be administered, has been created by the Greater University Fund.
Various county funds go into the Greater University Fund and then are distributed for scholarships.
University officials report that more than 1,200 scholarship applications from new students were received this year, and that available scholarship funds were inadequate
to help more than 200 students who met the criteria established.
Approximately 50 students have been given such awards for the school year now beginning.
Since the creation of the Greater University Fund in 1953, the number of contributions received annually by the University has increased by 500 per cent.
More than 5,700 alumni and friends gave in the fiscal year ending last April. 30.

For Virginia Welch, Red Lodge, Mont., sophomore, the new enrollment plan was not so good. She had to enroll twice and it took her three
hours before getting through the final checker.
"I thought I was all set and then I got up in the pen and found a non-listed laboratory physiology conflicted with the schedule my adviser and I had worked out so I had to go downstairs and start all over again. But I think the new enrollment plan of cutting out so many early enrollments is better for all concerned."
Bids for Reactor Open Wednesday
Bids will open Wednesday in Topeka for the atomic reactor to be built at KU. Russell B. Mesler, associate professor of chemical engineering, announced.
KU received $100,000 last June from the Atomic Energy Commission to be used for the reactor, and $150,- 000 from the Kansas Legislature for housing the reactor.
The reactor, when finished, will develop an output of 10 kilowatts. It will be used mainly for training graduate students in the nuclear engineering major. Mesler said.

Public Health Service Grants Total $38,000
A total of $38,000 in U. S. Public Health Service grants has been received recently by the University.
One a $30,000 grant for training and research at the University of Kansas Mammalian Center will go into effect next June. It is the third grant that the center has received from the Public Health Service.
One of the jobs of the Center is the preservation of trust stocks of mice used in cancer research programs throughout the country.
The other grant, for $8,000, is a renewal grant for a "test of the theory of imbreeding in mice."
The project is designed to determine the rate at which mice approach genetic homogeneity under brother-sister mating. When a genetically homogeneous strain is developed, mice of one strain will react similarly to the same treatment and be valuable for making comparisons in biological research.
Dr. Donald Bailey, assistant professor of zoology, is in charge of the research which began here last year.
Baby kangaroos are only about one-inch long at birth, while the adult may reach eight-feet in length, incuding tail.
