JIM HAMIL
Pen Keeps Artist Busy
Here's a candidate for "Busiest Man on Campus." He is Jim Hamil, Mission junior, who finds that his drawing work often brings his studies to a standstill.
"My school work sometimes becomes incidental to my drawing,"
Hamil sums up
If you haven't seen his work it's not his fault for his pen drawings have been distributed from Westportal, N. J. to San Francisco, Calif
Last year his artwork appeared on the cover of the four issues of the Jayhawker.
Last summer Hemil began a series of pen drawings of University buildings, fraternities, sororities and dormitories. The number of completed drawings has reached 34. On display in the Student Union the past week were his drawings of Fraser and String Hills, Danforth Chapel, Memorial Campanile, and Allen Field House.
Busy At Christmas
Last Christmas is an example of the time he puts into his work. In the two weeks before Christmas vacation he completed 24 portraits.
"During the Christmas season I was so busy that I couldn't do more than go to class." he said.
Recognition was given to Hamil in the November issue of the Alumni Magazine. In the article, several of his work's were discussed and pictures of his pen drawings were shown.
"I'm afraid they spent a little too much space on me," said Hamil. As a result of the article he has had several requests from KU alumni for portraits and copies of his pen drawings.
4 Attend District Music Meeting
Four members of the KU chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon, national honorary fraternity for women in music, attended the district conference of Mu Phi Epsilon in Oklahoma City, Okla. recently.

will also be discussed.
The Plymouth Congregational Church of Lawrence is using his pen drawing of the church on their weekly bulletin and his work was featured on covers of pamphlets for Religious Emphasis Week. His artwork also appears on the cover of the Midwest Contractor magazine for 1556.
Active On Campus
Campus activities also divide his time as he is recording secretary for Delta Phi Delta, honorary art fraternity, and is president of the Crossroads Seminar, Presbyterian Westminster Fellowship program.
Although his interest in art stems from high school, his work on pen drawings and mass productoin of portraits began when he came to KU in 1954. As early as 1953 he prepared most of the artwork for the Shawnee-Mission high school yearbook.
With his time taken by work and activities some people might be curious about his grades.
"I have done pretty well considering the time I put into my work," he said.
He has been on the Dean's Honor Roll of the School of Fine Arts four of his five semesters in school.
The deadline for fellowships which will enable a student to study in Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland is Friday. A similar fellowship program for study in Israel ends competition March 15.

Information concerning these awards can be obtained from Dr. J. A. Burzle, professor of German, in 306 Fraser Hall.
Members of the Angel Flight and the Air Force ROTC drill team returned Tuesday from New Orleans and the Mardi Gras celebration.
Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity, has elected two officers and pledged three university freshmen.
Theta Tau Elects Officers, Pledges 3
The pledges are Donald Heimbach, Kansas City, Kan., Robert J. Rehagen, Kansas City, Mo., and Fredrick Herr Jones, Bloomington, Illinois. Officers elected were Bob Franklin, Topeka sophomore, correspondent, secretary, and John Michael Dealy, Wichita justice, treasurer.
The teams marched in the Krewe of Carrollton parade and did a silent drill at the ball.
Capt. Arthur W. Gilliam Jr., assistant professor of air science, said the unit practice drilled four times, and the students had the rest of the time to themselves.
"One night, several men stopby radio station WWL where they were interviewed by a disc jockey," he said.
"I believe the members of the team performed well and gained a great deal from the trip."
The head resident of Corbin Hall. Miss Dorothy Bird, who chaperoned the group, said.
Your French Quarter Joy Watson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said members of the team toured the French Quarter one night. Another night they sailed on the riverboat SS President up the Mississippi and back to the Canal Street dock.
"We had a good time and though
I have been to New Orleans, the trip proved very informative—different from my previous trip," Miss Watson said.
"The trip by car was tiring but never too dull. The farther south we went, the air became humid and though the temperature was around 60 degrees, it felt quite warm.
"It sprinkled occasionally during the parade."
Went As Sponsors
Col. McHenry Hamilton Jr., professor of air science, went as sponsor with Capt. Gilliam and Miss Bird.
The group stayed overnight at Shreveport, La., where the men slept at Barksdale Air Force Base and the women slept in a motel.
In New Orleans, the women slept at Camp LeRoy Johnson and the men slept at New Orleans Naval Air Station.
