One cartoonist represented is a former KU student, Frank Miller, now editorial cartoonist for the Des Moines Register.
Other cartoons on exhibit are by T. E. Powers, James Montgomery Flagg, John T. McCutcheon, and Claude Shafer.
The 1956 election campaign is depicted in cartoons by Vaughn Shoemaker, Pulitzer prize winner; Dan Dowling, New York Herald Tribune; John Chase, New Orleans States, and Jerry Costello, cartoonist for the Republican National Committee.

Foreign Students Have First American Thanksgiving Dinner
After their first taste of turkey, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce at an American Thanksgiving, many foreign students came back to the campus Monday after trips which took many of them over much of the United States.
Though some of them remained in Lawrence to study, several foreign students went on an organized trip to Colorado Springs, Colo., Burns, Marysville, St. Joseph, Mo., and other places.
Seven students from overseas went to Burns, invited there by families to celebrate Thanksgiving. The Burns hosts came to Lawrence Wednesday to pick up the students, who returned Sunday.
"There were foot prints of deer and small animals in the snow. We also enjoyed skiing." Fukuma said.
"There was deep snow in Colorado, so we were unable to make a sightseeing trip by bus," Keishi Fukuma, Yonago, Japan, graduate student, said. He and 24 others were taken to Colorado Springs, Colo., by the Inter-Versity Christian Fellowship. The group came back early this morning.
Foreign students who are studying at the Universities of Nebraska, Colorado and other schools were in Colorado Springs.
The Westminster Foundation sponsored another trip to Marysville on Saturday and Sunday.
Students from 19 countries who spent Saturday night with families in Marysville were shown the dam sight at Tuttle Creek.
The Quill Club will meet at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday in the Pine Room of the Student Union. The sales campaign for Quill Magazine will be organized. Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, will speak. All members and anyone interested are urged to attend.
Those who stayed behind were not neglected. The Douglas County Council for UNESCO saw to it that they could eat Thanksgiving dinner with Lawrence residents and families in nearby communities.

Dean Gorton Receives Post
Dr. Thomas Gorton, dean of Fine Arts, was elected vice president of the National Association of Schools of Music at its 32nd annual meeting in Cleveland, O., over the weekend.
The NASM, which has 231 member institutions, has been designated as the body responsible for maintaining educational music standards by the National Commission on Accrediting.
During the meeting Dean Gorton addressed the assembly as chairman of a special committee on revision of musicianship requirements. In addition to the vice presidency, Dean Gorton is serving the NASM as chairman of its research committee and is a member of the graduate commission.
Within a year the University will have its first Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
700,000 Bricks In This Building—
Located at 16th and Naismith Drive, the building was started in October, 1955, and is scheduled to be completed in September, 1957.
Glen E. Henricksen, superintendent for the Harmon Construction Co. of Oklahoma City, Okla., said the building will contain 700,000 bricks and 9,000 cubic yards of concrete. Masonry is 70 per cent complete.
be 95 per cent perfect in terms of acoustics.
MARS - It's The AROTC's New Military Radio System
A variation in the sight of Kansas limestone is the crab orchard
"We have surplus transmitters and receivers that have been worked over, and all that has to be done before we can start operating is to put up the antennae.
Despite construction on scaffolds and roofs, several men have broken an arm, one a back, and another man broke a leg. There have been no deaths, Mr. Henricksen said. Carelessness on the individual's part is usually responsible for injury, Mr. Henricksen added.
Teach Code
Operation MARS — it sounds like a scheduled trip to outer space, but actually it's the Military Affiliate Radio System.
Schultz said a committee would be set up this week to study the ASC resolution passed at the last meeting to establish a student activities ticket for student wives and to work on a ticket exchange for high school students similar to the exchange for football games.
The MARS station has been installed by the Air Force ROTC. There are 20 Air Force Cadets and Navy Midshipmen participating in the program supervised by Capt. Arthur W. Gilliam Jr., assistant professor of air science.
The Cadets have been setting up a code class room. Capt. Gilliam said.
"We teach theory and code to students so they may pass their tests for an amateur license. After they have taken this test, they can
ASC To Confer On Seating
Capt. Gilliam said the purpose of MARS is to create interest and experimentation in military radio communications, to coordinate practices of amateur radio operations with those of the military, and to provide an additional source of trained radio communications personnel in an emergency.
He said the entire west side of Allen Field House will be reserved for students on a first-come first-served basis.
The question of reserved seats at basketball games will be settled by the All Student Council before the first game, Jim Schultz, Salina junior and ASC president, said today.
To Create Interest
The building will cover a city block, Mr. Henricksen said. It is U-shaped, with wings extending southward. The height varies from one to five stories.
An open hearing will be held this week so that students can voice their opinions on the matter of reserving seats.
The east and connecting wings contain practice and study rooms. The west wing contains three theaters.
Mr. Henricksen isn't new at KU.
He was here when Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall for women and Carruth-O'Leary Hall for men, were built. He was also superintendent when Bailey Hall was remodeled.
The main theater has a 40-foot stage. A laboratory theater and recital hall complete the wing. Mr. Henricksen said the building will

get a MARS license and can be issued gear to build their own transmitter and receiver."
MUSIC AND DRAMATIC ART BUILDING
A finding by Dr. J. A. Weir, associate professor of zoology, on the sex ratio in mice caused speculation in a British science magazine that his principle may be extended to other mammals. The weekly periodical, "Nature," reports data gathered by Dr. Weir and ties it in with several cases compiled by other scientists.
British Magazine Prints Weir Data
Dr. Weir selected individuals of a strain of mice of known inheritance for high and low alkalinity content in the blood. The sex ratio of the two lines was found to diverge-acid lines produced an excess of female progeny and alkali lines an excess of males.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture reports demand for farm products in this country may be 40-45 per cent greater by 1975 than in 1983.

ASC Plans Wage Survey
A survey of student wages on the campus to back up a request to the state legislature to boost next year's budget in that category will be planned by the All Student Council meeting in the Pine Room of the Student Union at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The survey to be discussed will consider all the jobs available and will sum up where raises should be made. It will be conducted by the ASC Labor Committee.
Final plans for the "Meet Your ASC" will be discussed. Teams will be appointed to visit every house
and dormitory Wednesday, Thursday and Monday.
Delegates to two conferences will be chosen. Two University students will go to the International Affairs Seminar at Texas A. and M. The council will also decide how many delegates to send to the Western Regional National Student Assn. conference at Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison.
