Last years honorary commander was Patsy Lou Straub, Chicago sophomore. She was chosen later as one of three finalists for the title of honorary regimental commander.
Famous works of the Roman and Greek culture were translated into Arabic, and then with the advent of the Renaissance they were translated back to many different languages, he said.

See Here Workmen! Lose A Hammer?
A heavy sledge hammer was lying close to the sidewalk. Two coeds saw it, stopped, and casually picked it up. Their full skirts made it almost impossible for the hammer to be seen by nearby workmen when they walked away.
"We'll give this to our favorite professor," the women said as they entered Fraser Hall with the unwieldy hammer. Then they started struggling up the north stairs of the building.

Organic Chemist To Talk
Two University professors have been chosen as visiting scientists in chemistry for the 1957-58 program by the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society.
KU Men Named Visiting Scientists
Jacob Kleinberg and Calvin VanderWerf, professors of chemistry, are among 28 chemists chosen to visit small colleges and universities. Each will spend three days giving formal lectures, conducting seminars, addressing general assemblies and having informal discussion periods.
Prof. Kleinberg came here in 1946. He has been an associate editor of Chemical Reviews and a secretary for the Board of Inorganic Syntheses. He has written two books, "Unfamiliar Oxidation States and Their Stabilization," and "Non-Aqueous Solvents."
Prof. VanderWerf came here in 1941. He has been acting chairman of the department of chemistry and secretary and chairman of the Divisions of Chemical Education. He helped to write two textbooks of general chemistry.
The purpose of the program is to give the staff and students in small colleges contact with productive and creative chemists, to encourage students in careers in chemistry, and to strengthen and stimulate chemical programs.

Faculty Names Students; Award
An undetermined number of KU undergraduate students, selected by the faculty, will receive $300 for six hours work on a faculty member's research project, Dean George R. Waggoner of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Thursday.
The Carnegie Endowment recently made a grant to the University for a gifted student program, and the Carnegie Research Awards are established under this grant.
Dean Waggoner said faculty members are being asked whether they would be interested in having outstanding undergraduate students assist them in research.
A committee has been appointed by Dean Waggoner to handle the awards. Members are Dr. Francis H. Heller, professor of political science, chairman; Dr. Ralph Adams, assistant professor of chemistry; Dr. William Gilbert, assistant professor of history, and Dr. David Paretsky, associate professor of bacteriology.
Dean Waggoner invited students who are interested in this program to contact a member of the committee or indicate their interest to faculty members who may help them.
