KU Athletes Will Be Honored
The first Lawrence Chamber of Commerce all-sports banquet will be held at 6:30 p.m. today in the Student Union Ballroom with George Mikan as the featured speaker.
Mr. Mikan, named the outstanding basketball player for the first half of the 20th century, is frequently referred to as "M师.篮球."
The banquet will honor all sports at KU with squad members of the football, basketball, track, tennis, baseball, golf and swimming teams as guests of honor.
About 500 persons are expected to attend, according to Ray Culbertson, chairman of the sports committee of the local Chamber of Commerce.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will speak briefly and the Jay James will present a skit.
"We decided to have one big banquet for the athletic teams at the University instead of many smaller ones during the year as has been done in the past," Mr. Culbertson said.

it just seemed like a lot of wasted time to have the multiban-quets, so the Chamber decided to sponsor one big affair. If the event is successful, we hope to make it an annual thing."
Summer Western Civ Exam To Be July 27
The summer examination in Western Civilization will be given at 8 a.m. Saturday, July 27, in Bailey Hall.
Students who do not expect to attend summer school may register, beginning May -23, at the registrar's office, or by writing to the registrar. An examination fee of five dollars must be paid by all those not enrolled in summer school.
Students in summer school may register at any time by going to the
registrar's office. Last day for registration, either in person or by mail, will be July 17.
The summer examination will be based on the list of readings used the past year, said Dr. Francis Heller, chairman of the program. Next year one-fourth of the readings will be changed, he said.

Westward Ho! But Let's Turn The Wagon Around
Near the end of the walk leading to Lindley Hall stands a rock with a plaque attached. This plaque marks the place where the Oregon Trail supposedly crossed Mount Oread.
Children—1. Mr. Flood; 2. Irvine;
3. Doug McWilliams, Berkley,
Calif., sophomores.
The plaque shows a pair of oxen pulling a covered wagon with a man walking beside the wagon and a women and child inside. The wagon is headed into the setting, or maybe rising, sun.
One puzzling thing about the marker is that the covered wagon on the plaque is going east instead of west.
The marker was dedicated three years ago as a memorial to the pioneers who made the long trek westward.
The inscription on the plaque reads, "Beginning in 1849, there plodded up the southern slope of Mount Oread a vast immigration bound for the golden land of California. One branch of the great California and Oregon trail thus passed over the very ground now part of the University's campus and many
a campfire gleamed on summer nights from the crest where now throngs of students tread."
The fifth unit in the Kansas Supervisory Development Program will be conducted Today and Tuesday. Twenty persons are expected to attend the session which is planned to help supervisors understand the cost of operating and maintaining an industrial enterprise. The program is sponsored by University Extension and the State Board for Vocational Education.

Winter Takes Texas Post
The University of Texas offers one of the few linguistics programs leading to a Ph. D. Dr. Winter was a visiting professor there in the spring of 1956. The linguistics program offers a concentration on Indo-European languages.
Dr. Werner Winter, assistant professor of German, will leave the University this summer to accept a position as associate professor in the linguistics program at the University of Texas, Austin, Tex.
Dr. Winter said, "After some time I hope to bring in the study of American Indian languages, a study for which I did field work on a KU grant in the summer of 1956."
Although Dr. Winter has been teaching German and Russian at KU since 1953, his major field is linguistics. He was one of the first German exchange students here in 1949.
While at KU, Dr. Winter has worked on an index of Totharian forms which he hopes to have published soon.
