Sophomore Wins $600 Scholarship
Dan Miller, Oberlin sophomore in metallurgical engineering, has received a $600 scholarship for the 1956-57 school year.
The award was made by a large Kansas manufacturing company whose name was withheld. The aim of the scholarship is to encourage young men to maintain high scholastic records in college and then enter industry upon graduation.
The recipient is selected on the basis of high scholastic standing and financial need.

Studio Theatre To Show Satire, Realism Tonight
Satire versus realistic drama is the keynote of the Studio Theatre's first bill of the 1956-57 season, "The Inspector General," and "Darkness at Noon," to be presented at 8 tonight in Green Theatre.
An experiment in contrast between post and pre-revolutionary Russia, the third acts only of the two dramas will show the vast changes in the political, social, and economic life of the Russian.
The two plays will be presented tonight through Saturday. Tickets may be bought or obtained through Student ID cards at the University Theatre box office in the Student Union lounge.
Emphasizes Differences
It is an attempt to emphasize the difference between the 19th century Russian satire of Gogol's "The Inspector General" and the harsh material world during the Moscow purge trials in 1937 of Sidney Kingsley's "Darkness at Noon."
"We have a total of 27 character makeups to create for the two plays" Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama, said. "These include several beards, mustaches, and wigs. I have five helpers
"The contrast presents itself through the very types of the two dramas being so opposite," explained Arthur Kean, instructor of speech and drama and director of "The Inspector General."
and some of the cast can apply their own makeup, but we only have four mirrors and about 150 square feet with which to work."
But as an experimentalist in an experimental theater, Nat Eek, instructor of speech and drama and director of "Darkness at Noon," takes the laurels as far as dedication and research are concerned. He ended up in the city jail. Since the setting of his play is in a Russian prison, Mr. Eek rightfully conduced that appropriate sound effects were in order.
Taped in City Jail
The settings and lighting for the two productions were designed by Mr. Eek and Mr. Kean. Costumes are in the care of Sally Six, instructor of speech and drama, and properties have been collected by Bruce Dillman, graduate assistant instructor of speech and drama
"We took a tape recorder and went to the most likely place—the Lawrence city jail," Mr. Eek said. We wanted sounds of clanging steel doors, jangling keys and footsteps on steel floors. John C. Hazelet, Lawrence police chief, was more than cooperative.
ASC Revamps Seating: So-Reserved Seats
The All Student Council took a bite at the tradition of organizations reserving blocks of seats at athletic contests at separate House and Senate meetings Tuesday evening by empowering the student athletic committee to control the student section for the remainder of the football season.
Clap Your Hands For The Seniors
The cheer, which overshadowed even the introduction of the queen candidates at the annual senior class coffee this morning, was the original product of the fertile minds of senior class members.
The seniors had their day today, complete with queen candidates, pennants, badges, coffee, doughnuts, annuities, and an honest-to-goodness cheer.
It was taught to the surprisingly large crowd of about 600 by head cheerleader Jim Bickley, Kansas City, Mo., senior.
The text of the cheer:
Clap your hands!
Clap your hands. (Clap hands three times.)
Stomp your feet!
Stomp your feet
(Stomp feet three times.)
We're the class that can't be beat!
(Cheerleaders) What class is that?
(All!) FIFTY-SEVEN!
Other business at the coffee included the introduction of the 17 candidates for the senior calendar queen. Cheers, applause, and wolf whistles were showered upon each candidate as she was introduced. After the introduction, the seniors filled out ballots which will elect the queen. She will be presented at the halftime of the Oklahoma game Saturday.
Rich Billings, Russell senior and class president, asked all seniors to wear white shirts or blouses if they plan to sit in the special section at the game.
The section behind the band and pep clubs will be reserved for seniors, who will be admitted by tickets distributed at the coffee. Seniors who did not attend the coffee may pick up the tickets at the Alumni Office in Strong Hall.
Seniors were also requested to wear their badges and carry their pennants to the game Saturday, so that they may display them while the senior cheer is being given at helftime.

DIFFICULT DECISION-These three women were chosen finalists for Calendar Queen honors by the seniors at their class coffee this
morning. Left to right are Pat Bohannon, Bartlesville, Okla.; Merrilyn E. Coleman, Frankfort, and Ann Straub, Chicago, Ill.
Other action included reviewing the Kansas State-Kansas peace pact, approving the appoinment of six faculty advisers, swearing in five new council members, and adopting the National Student Assn. amendment to the by-laws of the constitution.
The student athletic committee established measures aimed at pacifying the two factions. One faction including the Law School and many fraternities and organized pep organizations, favored tradition while the second faction, including the University Veterans Organization, independents and several fraternities, favored giving seats to those who first occupy them.
Policy Outlined
The student athletic committee outlined the following policy to be in effect for Saturday's game with Oklahoma:
1 Students will not be allowed to save seats in sections 40 and 41 on the east side of Memorial Stadium. (This includes the two sections at the south end of the student section between the south end of the student section between the south 40-yard line and the 50-yard line.)
A revised peace pact with Kansas State was read for consideration. This pact calls for both councils to condemn all acts of vandalism.
2 The lower half of sections 38 and 39 would be given to the pep club and the band, as is customary.
3 The upper half of sections 38 and 39 would be reserved for Senior Class members.
Revised Peace Pact
4 Sections 34, 35, 36, and 37, would be open to any organization which wished to save seats. That is, saving of seats would be permitted in these sections, but other students could sit in the seats not being saved. (Sections 34, 35, 36, and 37, include the area from the north 40-yard line to the north end zone.)
5 Students will not be allowed to save seats in all student sections north of Section 33.
The annual peace pact dinner with the Kansas State student council will be held at the University Monday to discuss the pact.
This would place responsibility of vandalism on the vandal and make him pay for damages. Students caught will be dismissed from school and will not be re-admitted until damages are paid. If the culprit is not caught, the student council must pay for the damages.
New members sworn in to the ASC are Ted Hall, freshman; Carolyn Bailey, Scranton junior; Bonnie Erikson, Mission sophomore; Bill Reed, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; and Heitor G. Souza, Lourenço, Brazil, graduate student.
NSA BILL APPROVED
The NSA bill amending the constitution to set up a working 4-man commission to carry out NSA policy on the campus was approved. Bill Woo, Kansas City, Mo., junior, was named coordinator. Appointed to the committee was Jane Tomlinson, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore; Harold Compton, Larned senior; Jerry Elliott, Hutchinson junior, and Bruce Rider, Wichita junior.
Faculty advisers approved were Kenneth Beasley, instructor of political science; Kenneth Kofmeh, visiting instructor of political,science, Miss Louise Leonard, instructor of education; Walter Mikols, assistant professor of physical education; James Drury, associate professor of political science, and John Patton, professor of religion.
