The exposition will be open until 9 tonight and from 9 a.m. till noon Saturday.
Marvin and Lindley Halls, Fowler Shops, the Aeronautical Lab, the building housing the Electrical, Mechanical and Hydraulic Labs and the parking lot in back of Marvin
will be used for the displays and exhibits.
Although the exposition opened at 9 this morning, Gov. Docking will officially open it when his wife cuts the ribbon in front of Marvin.

Following the ceremony the official party consisting of Gov. and Mrs. George Docking, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Barbara

an information booth in Marvin to aid confused spectators.
Everyone touring the exposition will be given an official program which will contain the names of the departments, chairmen of the exhibits and the names of the exhibits in the order in which they will be visited.
On the cover of the official program is a sketch of the archway "Golden Gate to Success" constructed by Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity. The 72-foot suspension bridge resting on two
18-foot towers will be one of the landmarks of the exposition.
Exposition Gives Opportunity
Exposition Gives Opportunity In an interview Tuesday, Dean Carr said, "I think that the Exposition presents the individual engineer more opportunity than one would at first think."
"It gives him an opportunity to present and construct his own ideas under a limited budget such as he will meet in industry. And most of all it gives him an opportunity to attempt to convert engineering terms into a language that the layman will understand."
32nd Annual Relays Open At 9 a.m. Saturday
An estimated 1,000 college athletes and 20,000 spectators will be on hand Saturday for the 32nd running of the Midwest's finest track and field festival, the KU Relays.
The first event of the Relays will be the 110-meter hurdles of the decathlon at 9 a.m. Forty-three events will follow with the last one ending about 6 p.m.
A full weekend of athletic activities will begin at 1 p.m. today with the 53rd Interscholastic track meet featuring from 2,000 to 2,500 high school athletes.
Queen To Present Medals
Queen To Present Medals
Relays royalty will make its first
appearance this afternoon when the attendants to the queens will present medals to winning high school athletes.
The first day of the Relays will come to a close tonight at 6:30 when a crowd of approximately 8.000 persons will hear Dr. Shane McCarthy, executive director of President Eisenhower's Council on Youth Fitness, speak at the Relays banquet.
The KU and Big Seven queens will make an appearance during the banquet. Among the crowd will be Gov. James T. Blair, Missouri. Kansas Gov. George Docking, Ernie Mehl, The Kansas City Star sports editor, Harry Darby, Kansas Democratic National Com-
mitteeman, and George Schnell-bacher. Topeka mayor.
With the glitter of 15 floats, shiny convertibles and polished brass the annual Relays parade will get under way at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The parade will start at 8th and Massachusetts streets and move through the Lawrence business district.
The floats will be furnished by KU organized houses, the convertibles will be driven by members of the KU basketball team and will carry the Relays royalty, and the brass will be representatives of the three KU ROTC units and the National Guard.
Official Opening By Governor Action at Memorial Stadium Sat
urday morning will consist of preliminaries of track and field events. The Relays will be officially opened at 1:15 p.m. by Gov. Doeing. The KU marching band will furnish the background as the two queens and attendants are escorted to their seats.
Following this the 1957 Relays referee, Jim Kelly, U. S. Olympic track coach, will be introduced. It has become a tradition of the KU Relays to have outstanding sports persons as the honorary referee. Knute Rockne started this tradition with his appearance in 1925.
Athletic activities will be suspended at 3 p.m. when the queens will be introduced, crowned and kissed by Martin Hanna, Winfield senior, and Bob Elliott, Wichita
senior, student co-chairman of the Relaws.
The athletes are still faced with a long afternoon, however, as most of the relay events are run off after the queens have been presented. The culmination of athletic events is the announcement of the decathlon event, and the naming of the outstanding athlete for the Relays.
The Relays weekend winds up in the Ballroom of the Student Union where couples will dance to the music of Don Conard and his quartet. The queens perform their final Relays function at the dance intermission by presenting the trophies to winners of the Relays float contest.
Relays Queens Meet At Airport
The co-queens of the Kansas Relays compared notes Thursday after they met in Kansas City, Mo., and came to the conclusion that they might as well be related.
Appear on TV
Judy Anthony, the KU queen and Charlene Anthony, the Big Seven queen began their royal duties here at 11 a.m. today after they arrived on campus Thursday night.
There was a large "Welcome Charlene" sign at the Alpha Chi Omega sorority house, where the NU beauty is a guest. Both queens are members of the sorority.
In Kansas City the two appeared on KMBC-TV at noon and on the KCMO-TV in the evening. They spent the afternoon at Judy's home there.
They differ in size and coloring, but they have many similariates besides the same last name and sorority affiliation.
Both queens intend to teach school. Judy is a junior in elementary education, while Charlene is a freshman in special education. She plans to work with physically handicapped children.
Both Running For ASC
"We each plan to run for All Student offices during the spring elections at our schools," said Charlene, who is on the NU ballot for representative from the freshman dormitory in which she lives.
"Charlene was recently elected a cheer leader for next year." Judy said. The NU queen also serves on two committees for Student Activities and is a member of three committees in Red Cross, for which she works two nights a week.
The co-Relays queens, who have
QUEEN TO QUEEN - The Anthonys, coqueens of the 1957 KU Relays, met for the first time Thursday morning at the Kansas City, Mo. Municipal Airport. Charlene, the Big Seven queen from the University of Nebraska, flew in from Lincoln. She was greeted by Judy, the KU queen, and her attendants.

"It was the first I knew of being chosen queen," she said, "and it presented several problems. I didn't have the proper clothes to bring along or any extra money."
Queen Judy and Charlene will greet the visiting athletes in the Card Room of the Student Union until 4 p. m. today.
