$1,600 In Prizes Offered For Aeronautical Essays
Aeronautical engineering students may enter two contests with prizes totaling $1,600 during the next two weeks. The deadline for entries is March 1.
Here's A Chance To Win $3,000
"Alcohol and Safety" is this year's theme for an editorial writing contest sponsored by the Intercollegiate Assn. A total of $3,000 in prize money is offered.
The contest is open to any full-time undergraduate student registered in a college, university, or junior college in the United States and Canada for the 1956-57 academic year. No student who has written professionally is eligible.
The maximum length for each editorial is 800 words, the minimum 500. Deadline for all entries is May 1. The manuscript is to be typewritten, double spaced, or written in ink. The author's name is not to appear on the manuscript, but an entry blank must be attached to each paper submitted.
The judging will be based on sound, objective, original thinking; quality of research, accuracy of basic information, editorial style, and clarity of expression.
Application blanks and material for the contest may be obtained by sending a postcard to the awards secretary, Intercollegiate Assn., 12 N. Third St., Room 522, Columbus 15, Ohio. College instructors using the subject in their class programs may also obtain the material.
Success. Religion Discussed
Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering spoke on the aspects of success as related to religion at a rush smoker of Theta Tau, professional engineering fraternity, at the chapter house Thursday.
The paper must concern aeronautical sciences and should be from 1,000 to 3,000 words long. The student must give an oral presentation of his paper, which should be 15 to 20 minutes in length.
Finals of the contest will be held April 25-27 at Fort Worth, Tex., and April 24-26 at St. Louis, Mo. The Texas section has a closing date of March 14, and the St. Louis section March 15.
KU will send one graduate student and one undergraduate student to Fort Worth. Because there is no limit to entries at St. Louis, 15 or 20 students are expected to take part.
Prizes at both cities will be $300 for first, $200 for second and $100 for third, and three $50 honorable mention prizes. At St. Louis an additional prize of $100 is given for the best oral presentation.
"In the past we have taken our share of the prizes," said Ammon S. Andes, professor of aeronautical engineering."Last year we won first in the graduate section at Texas, and second and third in the oral presentation at St. Louis."
"Industrial Forces and the Architect" will be the theme of the fourth annual architects' conference to be held Wednesday and Thursday in the Student Union.
Architects Will Confer
The conference is sponsored by the Kansas City and Kansas chapters of the American Institute of Architects and the KU department of architecture.
Speakers at the conference will include: Edward X. Tuttle, vicepresident of Giffels and Vallet, Inc., Detroit, Mich.; John Sticher, director of the Kansas Industrial Development Commission; Stuart Parry Walsh, director of Industrial Planning Associates, San Francisco, and A. W. Zimmer, president of the A. W. Zimmer Co., Kansas City, Mo.

850 To Take Scholarship Tests
Nearly 850 high school seniors, nominated by their high school principals, will take examinations for Watkins and Summerfield scholarships Feb. 18 and 19.
This year the preliminary test will be combined with the Kansas State College Henry J. Putnam Memorial Scholarship test. Finalists who try for this scholarship will take the final examination at Kansas State, Manhattan.
From the results of these exams, the Watkins Scholarship Committee will choose 40 women to take the final March 11 and 12. The Summerfield Scholarship Committee will choose 40 men for the final to be given March 18 and 19. These final tests will produce 10 Watkins and 15 Summerfield scholars.
Following the convention in Chicago, Dean Anderson will attend the American Assn. of School Administrators' meeting in Atlantic City, Feb. 17-20. At this convention he will read a paper on "Study of Variability in Exceptional Kansas High School Seniors."
