14 University Students Win Summerfield Scholarships
Fourteen men attending KU have been appointed Summerfield scholars, the highest scholarship and allaround leadership recognition accorded undergraduate men from Kansas high schools, it was announced Tuesday by Spencer E. Martin, secretary of the Summerfield committee.
Each new scholar has been making grades above 2.5 average, counting all A as 3.0 and all B as 2.0, and has demonstrated leadership. Appointment as a Summerfield scholar guarantees the recipient whatever financial assistance he needs beyond his own resources to attend KU. However, many of the new scholars already hold other valuable awards or have no need. In those cases their Summerfield assistance will be small or nothing.
The new Summerfield scholars who will be seniors are Date L. Gerboth, School of Business, Council Grove; Jack P. Reid, School of Engineering and Architecture, Johnson, and Newell C. Rodewald, School of Engineering and Architecture, Eudora.

CHARLESTON, W. Va.—(UP)—An attractive young woman stood in municipal court here recently and pleaded innocent to a charge of parking on a sidewalk. "I didn't do it your honor," she told the judge. "You see I have a Volkswagen, and somebody must have picked it up and put it there." Laughing, the judge dismissed the charge.

The territory of New Mexico, which became a state in 1912, once included much of present day Arizona, which was called "Arizona Country, New Mexico." The two territories were separated in 1863, during the Civil War.
Two staff members of the State Geological Survey, University of Kansas, will be doing geologic field work in "chalk country" until July 25.
The studies will be useful in determining the economic uses of the chalk deposits.
Halsey Miller, who within the past year has done considerable research on fossils of the Niobrora rocks of Cretaceous age in western Kansas, and Robert Mann, a graduate student in geology who is assisting Miller this summer, will visit chalk localities in Ellis, Gove, Logan, Osborne, Trego, and Wallace Counties.
Geologists Study Value Of Chalk
Miller and Mann will make their headquarters in Hays, where they will confer with George F. Sternberg, curator of the Fort Hays Kansas State College Museum, and Merle Walker, geologist at Fort Hays College.
They will study in particular fossil clams that are abundant in Cretaceous-age rocks in Kansas. Perhaps the most distinctive of these clams is a thin-shelled species called Inoceramus labiatus.
An aim of these studies on Kansas chalk is to reconstruct in so far as possible the environment of the animals that lived in the Cretaceous Niobrara sea that existed in western Kansas more than 60 million years ago.
Sudan grass seeded soon after corn planting will be ready for pasture or green-chop in July and August.
8 Reservoirs Planned For Kaw River Valley
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - (UP) — Plans for eight additional reservoirs in the Kaw Valley were revealed last night by Col. E.C. Adams, Kansas City District Engineer.
The local protection plan for Kansas City he said includes a levee raise involving no modifications near the mouth of the Kaw, but gradually increasing to about five to six feet at the upper limit of the project.
The eight reservoir silts under consideration were the Wakarusa River, Soldier Creek, Rock Creek, Vermillion Creek near Belvue, Clarks Creek near Camp Funston, Lyons Creek near Junction City, Chapman Creek near Chapman and Turkey Creek near Abilene.
The eight would be built in lieu of 22 others as originally planned.
Adams, who will be succeeded tomorrow by Col. Lawrence Laurion, spoke at a meeting of the Mo-Aark Basins Flood Control and Conservation Commission.
Adams said the group of eight would have a combined full flood pool acreage about the same as Tuttle Creek. Total flood storage would be somewhat less than Tuttle Creek, he said, and total cost somewhat greater than Tuttle Creek.
Widening At Topeka
At Topeka, Adams said, some widening is involved and "there is considerable urgency to reconcille

the overall plan since the project is under way and some modification and adjustment will be required.
The Kansas Athletic Commission is composed of the athletic directors of Kansas University, Kansas State College and Emporia State Teachers College.
Lawrence comes near to being the critical point and continues to rely heavily on additional reservoirs." he said.
H. W. Hargiss, full-time executive secretary for the agency, will take a reduction in salary.
TOPEKA-(UP)—Declining revenues for the Kansas Athletic Commission, which regulates "boxing, wrestling and sparring exhibitions" in Kansas, has faced a cutback in state funds going to the little-known state agency.
It spent $16,296 regulating boxing events in the past fiscal year. It has only about $9,350 estimated income for the current fiscal year—thus forcing a retreat to the fiscal corner this year.

Its revenues are gained from a $10 license fee from promoters and a five percent "take" on gate receipts of matches.
