Editors note: The following is a report from England by Jere Glover, Salina senior, who is currently touring Europe: After a hectic ship ride Miss Glover is now cycling through the English countryside.
We are just halfway through England and already we are having trouble. First, one of our group cycled over her raincoat and yesterday, with more serious consequences. She dropped and ran over her camera.

KU Student Enjoys England But Hates The Bicycles
Our main complaint is the bicycle, our major mode of transportation here. Fateful was that day in Oxford when we first met two spindly wheels, hand brakes, 3-speed gear shifts, a saddle obviously never intended for human use, and began peddling on the left-hand side of the road.
But for me, saddle sores, cramped muscles and assorted bruises are more than compensated for by the English countryside—the rolling hills, tree-lined green fields and quaint old villages with thatch-roofed or plain red brick houses are truly beautiful.
Perhaps it is the similarity of homes—all surrounded by colorful flower gardens—that presents an appearance of serenity. These little towns seem to be flourishing. There is none of the abandonment and decay that mark some small Kansas towns.
London is a very old city, with some blackened buildings and a few bombed out areas. It was far cleaner than we had expected. We all liked London. We will remember the surprising number of tiny shops, the myriad of people in Hyde Park, and the small cars and bicycles that make the streets look like ant hills.
Getting lost hasn't been a problem. There's always somebody, in village or farm, more than willing to stop and chat, give directions, and sometimes invite us in for tea. This is rather different from the stiff, non-communicative British we were told to expect. All we have had to do is make the initial effort.
During our three-day stay in London we visited dozens of pubs and tea shops, saw several plays and then at night we were back at the hotel by 10:30 p.m. By then, the city suddenly sleeps.
We are working on our English accents—just to see how many tourists would stop to ask directions. But while we are cycling the ruse seldom works. English girls wear skirts—even to cycle. Our Bermuda shoats have drawn many a stare and comment.
Naturally our group has taken in most of the sights "every tourist jolly well must see"; the tour of London, Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussaud's Wax Works Museum, Westminster Abbey, Oxford University, and a really story-book castle at Warwick. Those are just a few of the places, just enough to help us understand and appreciate the Englishman's pride in his tradition. He has a right to be proud of such beauty and grandeur.
Other places I will remember when I think of England are Charlbury where we gathered with half the town in the hotel bar one evening for cider and beer; Stratfordon-Avon where we ran into so many American tourists we could hardly enjoy "As You Like It"; Cleve Hill where three of us stopped for tea at a hotel overlooking a green valley and sat all afternoon with tea and cakes reading magazines, and at Wells where we stayed at the Ancient Gate House and slept in canopied beds.
To Continue Nicotine Study
In a short time we will be in France. It will have to be impressive to measure up to England.
Determination of the part nicotine does or does not play in hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure will be the subject for research at KU under the direction of Dr. Duane G. Wenzel, professor of pharmacy.
were supported by a grant from the University's state-appropriated research fund.
The Tobacco Industry grant will permit Dr. Wenzel to re-check the cholesterol determinations of the original study. He also will add electrocardiograph studies of the rabbits, both those subjected to nicotine and the control groups. Finally, the pathology of the heart and arterial systems of the rabbits will be determined.
The Tobacco Industry Research Committee has made a first-year grant of $6.944 to Dr. Wenzel for "Determination of Effects of Nicotine on Atherosclerosis in Rabbits."
Dr. James Turner, a member o the Veterans Administration Hospital staff, Kansas City, Mo., will be the pathologist for the project. Donald R. Kissil, New York graduate student, will be research assistant. Kissil is a candidate for the master of science degree in pharmacology.
Dr. Wenzel already has found that nicotine will increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood of rabbits. Cholesterol is a fatty substance believed to be important in inducing arterial and coronary problems. These studies, the results of which have just been published,
10 Receive Engineering Awards
A Kansas manufacturing company has awarded four students in the School of Engineering and Architecture at KU a total of $3,000 for the academic year of 1957-58.
The recipients and the amounts of their awards as follows; Donald Harvey Kenward, Merriam junior, $1,000; Joe Edwin Sheldon, Lawrence, senior, $1,000; Bernard Lee Renyer, Wakarusa senior, $600, and William Edwin Harris, Atchison junior, $400.00. Harris will be considered for a renewal in 1958-59.
The Foundation established the scholarships several years ago and since then returns from investments made from the principal scholarship fund by the KU Endowment Association have provided the cash awards.
Sheldon has a grade point average of 1.9 out of a possible 3.00. He has been on the Dean's Honor roll and has participated in intramural basketball and football.
Renyer has a 1.49 grade point average and has served Triangle Fraternity as business manager. He is a member of the American Society of Tool Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Pi Tau
Sigma, honorary mechanical engineering fraternity.
Harris' grade point average is 1.6. He has been on the Honor Roll, played varsity basketball and participated in swimming events.
Donald B. Pishny, Waterville, Kansas, who will be a freshman in engineering at KU this fall has been named the fourth recipient of a scholarship of the employees of Servis, Van Doren and Hazard, an engineering firm in Topeka.
Pishny, like the other freshman engineering students receiving this scholarship, will receive $100 for the academic year, 1957-58.
The other recipients are Clarence Henry Higdon, Rantoul, Larry Edward Miller, Coffeyville, and Ronald William Hatfield. Kinsley.
Selection is on the basis of average grades from among the entering freshmen who intend to major in either civil, electrical or mechanical engineering. The selection committee is composed of members of the faculty of the Engineering School.
Two new C. L. Burt Scholarships have been awarded to students in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
The recipients are Norman Lee Mailen of Clay Center, and Jerry Clark Brown of Hutchinson. Both of them will be freshmen in the School of Engineering and Architecture this fall.
The wards are for $925 each for the school year, 1957-58. Both students will be eligible for three additional renewals of the scholarships, provided their activities and grade point averages remain outstanding. Burt, who makes the awards is a Hutchinson contractor.
The scholarship is for worthy and needy boys and girls attending KU. They are selected on the basis of financial need, character, scholarship and promise of future usefulness to society. Activeness in intercollegiate athletics are also considered.
Brown graduated in the upper one-third of his class. He participated in football, basketball, track, Hi-Y and Pep Club.
Mailen was valedictorian of his graduating class from high school and participated in football, basketball, track and golf. He plans to enroll in Electrical Engineering at KU.
