Element Discovery Has Three Keys
With nine transuranium elements already discovered, there are three keys for the discovery of more elements in the future, according to Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, director of nuclear chemical research at the University of California, in Berkeley.
Also on display at the museum, until April 30, are exhibitions of modern Mexican paintings and prints and animal sculpture by Anna Hyatt Huntington.
The exhibition of Mr. Curry's work is the largest ever to be held in his native state. It includes drawings and sketches for the murals he painted in the Kansas State House in 1940 and some of his most famous paintings, "The Tornado," "Gospel Train" "Hogs Killing a Rattlesnake" and "John Brown."
Born on Kansas Farm
An exhibition of the work of Kansas's most famous painter, John Steuart Curry, will be the last of the Museum of Art's major exhibitions this year. There will be an invitational showing of the exhibit Saturday and it will be open to the public from Sunday through May 24.
Mr. Curry was born and raised on a farm near Dunavant in northeast Kansas. During the 1930's he was one of the most popular American painters and his works were purchased by leading American museums.
Curry Paintings To Be Shown By Art Museum
Mr. Curry painted subjects in the Midwest, scenes of circus life and American sports, New England landscapes and historical subjects related to New England and the Midwest.

This optimism of the future was the third part of a highly technical talk given by Dr. Seaborg on "Recent Research on the Transuranium Elements." In the opening part of his talk he discussed the chemical properties of elements, and then discussed the discovery of the last three, Elements 99, 100 and 101.
"I think it will be possible to go as high as Element 104 or 105 with chemical identification of new elements," Dr. Seaborg said. "Of course one has to have a good deal of optimism to predict these discoveries for the future."
Dr. Seaborg delivered the ninth annual E. C. Franklin Memorial Lecture Thursday. He received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work with transuranium elements in 1951.
Senior's Paper Wins $25 First Prize
A paper written about an "Automatic Telephone Dialer" won Carl O. Pingry, Pittsburg senior, a $25 first place prize in a technical paper contest sponsored by the Institute of Radio Engineers.
"One has to have a good idea of the chemical properties before the discovery," Dr. Seaborg said. "Also one needs to have some knowledge of the decay particles before a new element can be discovered."
Dr. Seaborg explained the construction of a new machine which could open a whole new field of nuclear investigation.
The award was made Tuesday in Kansas City. Pingry's paper was chosen from papers submitted by college students in the Kansas City area.

ASC Factions Struggle For Accord At Noon Meeting
REVISION DISCUSSION—Jim Schultz, Salina junior, and ASC president, left, presents a point before the ASC during the discussion on the proposed ASC constitution revision. Ted Barnes, Salina graduate student, presented the proposed revision to the council members. Over 25 Council members of the ASC House and Senate were present at the hour long meeting in the Student Union. The Council took rapid action on the revision issue and then rushed to their 1pm classes.

on the revision issue and then rushed to their 1 p.m. classes.
The heaviest fall ever recorded in the past 70 years swept over southeastern Kansas with up to five inches of snow as a spring storm moving out of Canada began to break up today.
If winter comes, can spring be far behind? She sure is!
Thursday winter shoved spring back even further as snow covered the campus.
The Weather Bureau said Toppea, with a reading of 20, had the lowest mark for April 11 since records started in 1887 and Concordia, with 23, equalled its all-time low mark for the same date.
However, things look brighter for the future. A gradual warming trend is expected to take over and last through the next four or five days, but more light moisture was forecast for Kansas by Sunday night. Temperatures will still remain below seasonal normals, even with the warm up.
Today's forecast calls for considerable cloudiness west and south, clear to partly cloudy elsewhere. Mostly cloudy southwest half of state tonight and Saturday with occasional light snow in the extreme west tonight and Saturday morning. Continued cold this afternoon and tonight. The low tonight is expected to be between 20 and 25. High Saturday 40 to 50.
Tape Recorder Reported Missing
A tape recorder worth about $150 was reported missing Thursday evening.
House Cuts Ike's Budget100 Million
James Hnizda, Blue Rapids freshman, told Campus Police he was using the recorder to practice the marimba in Hoch Auditorium in the morning and when he returned in the evening it was missing.
It did so in trimming by more than 15 per cent funds requested to operate the State and Justice Departments and the U.S. Information Agency in the new fiscal year.
WASHINGTON — (UP) - The House Appropriations Committee cut another 100 million dollars today out of President Eisenhower's proposed 72 billion dollar budget.
This averages out to a reduction of about 7.6 per cent. If that percentage were applied against the President's total money requests, it would mean a final budget reduction of more than 5 billion dollars.
The new cut brings total reductions in the budget claimed by the house and its appropriations committee so far to $1,141,175,749 against budget requests amounting to nearly 15 billion dollars.

"The only question in my mind is whether or not the student body should choose between the old and new proposals," Schultz said. "But I will support it next Wednesday, as either proposal is far and away better than the old constitution."
All Student Council members resolved their differences at noon today. A special session of the ASC voted 25-1 to let students pass judgment on the proposed constitution revisions in a referendum Wednesday.
Movement Started Wednesday
"We appreciate the support given by the students in our petition movement," Bob Billings, Russell sophomore, said. "It accomplished its purpose in that it caused the ASC to take action in a better form than the petition itself."
The compromise movement was started Wednesday by some ASC members to get 20 percent of the student body to sign a petition, but the petition was called off by organizers late Thursday.
Both Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, and Billings said they believe the new revision would meet with the approval of those who signed the petition.
Four Proposals
The proposals to be voted on Wednesdav:
1. Representatives will come from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Schools of Engineering and Architecture, Education, Fine Arts, Business, Law, Pharmacy, Journalism, and Graduate School.
Social fraternities and sororites, men's and women's dormitories, cooperative houses and professional fraternities maintaining houses, and students living in unorganized housing.
3. Representatives from each district shall be fixed in accordance with the following scale:
2. Seventy-five ballots must be cast by students of each school in a general election.
For 75-200 ballots, representa-
tive; 201-425, 2 representatives;
126-675, 3; 676-950, 4; 951-1250, 5,
and 1251-1575. 6.
4. If enrollment drops below 75, two-thirds of the enrolled students must vote to get one representative.

SUA Positions Close Today
No applications for Student Union Activities officers will be accepted after today. Applications should be submitted at the Activities office in the Student Union.
Mail Service Curtailed
But in Washington today, the House Appropriations Committee voted an extra 41 million dollars to tide the Post Office Department over between now and July 1. This was six million dollars short of the amount demanded by Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield.
The University Post Office and the Lawrence Post Office will have no mail deliveries on Saturday except for special delivery. There will be no window service at either post office on Saturdays. The lobby of the Lawrence Post Office will be open to the public. Employees will be on duty to dispatch mail.
Rep. Clarence Cannon (D-Mo.) said the committee expects the Post Office Department to call off the service cuts, scheduled for midnight. He said he had received no assurance from Mr. Summerfield that this would be done.
Mr. Summerfield said he had "no comment" on the action. He had said earlier the cuts would go into effect and stay in effect until Congress votes extra postal funds. He insisted the emergency appropriation must be signed by the President—not merely approved by a congressional committee—before the cuts could be cancelled.
