WHERE'S THIS CRAZY PARTY?-All dressed up with no place to go, but with something to say were two freshmen, Phil James, Webster Groves, Mo., and Warren Denning, Wichita. Rigged up in white ties and tails and with signs on their backs, these two cooperative lads wandered about the campus between classes to advertise the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" concert.
But it was not all aimless wandering for the two roving advertisers. Between classes both Phil and Warren were "hitting the books" in the Library. Almost needless to say, they attracted plenty of attention!
French, Spanish Department Completing Shift To Fraser
French and Spanish language students are studying in new class rooms this semester in Fraser Hall. Classes in French and Spanish were previously held in Strong Hall.
The remodeling was started in August, will be complete when the
A total of 14 rooms have been remodeled. Five formerly used by the School of Education are now being used as classrooms, while the other nine have been remodeled for use by faculty and office members.
Officers Chosen By Watkins Scholars
Watkins scholars elected Judith Hulse, Topeka sophomore, president and Diane Hays, Kansas City, Kan. junior, secretary Tuesday evening at a meeting in the Student Union
Mr. Dick Williams, former business manager for the late Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins, in whose name the Watkins scholarships are awarded told the group of her contributions to the University.
"It is hard to give money away, but Mrs. Watkins did an excellent job of it," he said. The money she gave was for worthwhile purposes."
Mrs. Watkins gave Watkins and Miller Halls, Watkins Hospital, the Chancellor's residence, the nurses home and other properties to the University.
Red Peppers Officers Elected
Sherri James, Kansas City, Mo. and Jan Rodgers, Paradise, Kan. have been elected as vice-president and secretary of the Red Peppers, freshman women's pep club. The next Red Pepper meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union Ballroom, at which a treasurer, social chairman, and song leader will be elected. The time for card practice for the Colorado game also will be announced.
Foreign Students To Meet
The foreign student orientation meeting, sponsored by the KU-Y (YMCA-YWCA) international committee, will be held at 7 p.m. today in the Kansas Room of the Student Union.
microfilm room and some of the office furnishings are installed.
In addition to class rooms in Fraser Hall, the department of Romance Languages is still using six class rooms in Strong Hall.
The sound room where students practice speech, will be moved to new location next semester in Blake Annex as will the sound room of Germanic Languages, which now is in the tower of Fraser Hall.
The north corridor of Fraser Hall basement is being remodeled as a reading area for students. An old mural of Don Quixote has been moved from Strong Hall to this corridor and now hangs on the west wall of the corridor.
The mural was painted by Raymond J. Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting. But neither Prof. Eastwood nor Jose M. Osma, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, who has been in Lawrence since 1913, can remember now when it was painted. Prof. Eastwood estimated it would have been about 30 years ago.
The mural is about 10 feet long and 3 feet high. It depicts a scene of Don Quixote observing a group of players coming to town to perform. Individual players are modeled after the faculty members of the Spanish language department at the time of the painting. The painter himself, Prof. Eastwood, is portrayed as a clown in the picture.
Student Exhibit Now In Strong
A collection of posters by Curtis W. Miller, Sunflower senior, is on exhibit on the third floor of Strong. Miller, who did the work for a design class, is being honored for outstanding work. Work by other students will be shown in the coming months.
As the number of cars on the campus increases, officials say that the University may find it necessary to close the campus to all but holders of special permits.
Blockading Of Campus Pondered By Officials
Hardy Poems To Be Read
If you return to visit KU within a few years you may be required to show a permit to a sentry before you can drive on the campus, or Jayhawk Boulevard may be blocked off altogether. That is the speculation of officials in charge of parking and traffic problems at the University.
However, Keith Lawton, chairman of the parking and traffic committee, emphasizes that it is only a possibility. "But there may be a time," Mr. Lawton said, "when pedestrian students and drivers are no longer compatible. When this occurs, drivers will have to yield to pedestrians by some means-education is the primary concern; automobiles must be secondary."
Poems of Thomas Hardy will be read by George Worth, instructor in English, at the Poetry Hour series at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Student Union music and browsing room.
Joe G. Skillman, foreman of the campus police, commenting on the possibility of establishing a sentry system, said that the students would probably be required to park in peripheral parking lots around the campus. Only drivers with permits would be admitted to the campus.
Mr. Skillman said that the present policy of required registration of cars is a step forward in maintaining control and understanding the problem of campus parking, traffic, and
5. 538 Cars Registered
'Jazz At The Phil' Tickets Going Fast
Tickets for Jazz at the Philharmonic are selling faster than the ticket sellers at the information booth and the Student Union concession stand can make change, Len Parkinson, chairman of the event announced today.
The 300 reserved seats were gone before the information booth opened for business and the total number of tickets sold at noon Tuesday was over 1000.
The general admission price is $1.50 for the two-hour concert featuring jazz artists Gene Krupa, Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, and Dizzy Gillespie. Although tickets will be sold at the door, students and faculty wishing to attend the concert are urged to buy their tickets sometime before Sunday. The concert is at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium.
safety. So far this year, Mr. Skillman said, 5,538 cars have been registered as compared with 2,307 registered last spring semester. Of the total this year, 4,227 are student-owned and 1,311 are owned by the faculty or employees.
Among the many suggestions for solving the KU traffic problem has been the proposal of blockading Jayhawk Boulevard. Mr. Skillman said that it is "definitely a possibility," and that perhaps the University could block the street experimentally during between-class hours to find out how it would work.
Mr. Lawton said that everything possible is being done to alleviate the current traffic problem. Parking by assigned lots serves a double purpose in this regard, Mr. Lawton said. "First, it accommodates those who really need a place to park, and second, it serves as a traffic control by keeping students from driving automobiles on the campus to go to class."
Another 1500 Spaces
In regard to parking, Mr. Lawton said that there is more than adequate space for students or staff members who have a real necessity for parking. Assigned space is provided for 1,483 cars at present. Another 1500 spaces will be available when the lot near Allen Field House is completed this fall.
Mr. Lawton said that the present policy of reporting a student who has five violations to the Dean of Students actually achieves a double purpose. It prevents the student from taking a parking space already assigned and it protects the student at the same time.
"Parking tickets cost the student a lot of money," Mr. Lawton said, "and he may run up a considerable bill which he will have to pay before he enrolls the following semester."
Even if a student fails to register his car with the University he will eventually have to pay the tickets he may ignore. His license number is taken and he is identified through the State Vehicle Commission in Topeka.
