For a first try at summer stock, Marilyn Honderick, LaCrosse sophomore, has done all right for herself.
MISS MARILYN HONDERICK
Co-ed Plays Summer Stock
Miss Honderick was cast in the role of a naive young waitress in William Inge's "Bus Stop" at the Hyde Park, N. Y., Playhouse this past summer. During her freshman year at KU, she held support-roles in the University Players' melodrama, "The Drunkard," plus taking part in North College's first place Rock Chalk Revue skit last spring.
According to the program for the Hyde Park production, Miss Honderick's greatest ambition is to become an accomplished actress. She says, "I get the greatest thrill out of giving other people pleasure by making them cry, laugh, or sing."
AFROTC To Have Flight Training
The University has been designated as one of 38 schools in the nation at which advanced students in the Air Force ROTC will be given flight training during the 1956-57 academic year.
Major Herber C. Birkhead, acting professor of air science, said only the notification had been received from Air Force RCTC headquarters as Maxwell AFB, Alabama. He doubted that the flight training could be implemented until the second semester.
Prof Back From 17,000 Mile Exploration In South Pacific
A member of a 26-man expedition party, Dr. Carlyle S. Smith associate professor of anthropology, returned Aug. 24 from a 10 month, 17,000 mile trip to some of the Southeast Pacific islands.
The expedition was organized to discover what was on the island, and was led by Thor Heyerdahl, who built and rode the Kon-Tiki, the balsa raft which crossed the Pacific from South America to the Polynesian islands.
The group found some large masonry platforms, containing tombs, with statues on them. The statues were believed to represent the ancestors of persons buried in the tombs. The expedition, which studied in quarries where the statues were made, found one unfinished statue over 60 feet tall.
Age To Be Determined
"The party also collected carbon to be used in radioactivity tests to determine the age of 'things found on the islands'." Dr. Smith said.
The expedition traveled in the M.S. Christian Bijelland, a speciallychartered 130-foot ship which had the Kon-Tiki head painted on the smokestack.
Dr. Smith, who left the University last Oct. 1, will assist Mr. Heyerdahl in writing a scientific book. "Mr. Heyerdahl will also write a book similar to 'Kon-Tiki' and will produce a feature-length movie of the expedition. A professional cameraman was a member of the party.
The expedition visited the Easter, Marquesas, and the Cocas islands.
Veterans This Is For You
Veterans who were on the GI Bill at KU last semester and who haven't changed their objectives must stop at the veterans' table in the enrollment line at the Student Union, according to Edwin R. Elbel, director of Veterans' Service.
A veteran who desires to change his objective must do so through the office of the Veterans' service, and a veteran who has not applied for the educational benefits should report to the veterans' office prior to enrollment.
Veterans who have been under Public Law 550 at another institution and who have not applied for a change of institution should report to the veterans' office.

and the islands of Pitcairn, Rapa,

Tahiti.
Just A Visitor
Zoology Field Trip Nets Zoo Specimens
Dr. Smith said that the islanders of Pitcaim, the original home of the bounty pirates, took him for a night boat ride in a whaleboat to meet a British ship passing the island. When he boarded the ship, the passengers mistook him for an islander and tried to buy coral from him.
Members of a University zoology field trip to New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico, have returned with over 600 specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.
"There had been no real archaeological survey of the islands before this expedition visited them," Dr. Smith said.
New Army ROTC Head Appointed
Col. Ralph J. Hanchin has assumed command of the Army ROTC unit at the University and will be a professor of military science and tactics.
The expedition, led by Sydney Anderson, assistant curator of mammals at the Museum of Natural History and instructor in zoology, had the dual purpose of research on the distribution of vertebrate mammals and the instruction of students in collecting, observing, recording and preserving specimens.
Richard G. Dedo, Shaker Heights,
Ohio, and Gregory G. Fouts, Overland
Park, both seniors, accompanied
Anderson.
Coloner Hanchin, a 1939 graduate of West Point, has been with the "Big Red One" 1st Division the past four years, most recently as executive officer of the divisional artillery. He previously worked three years with the Munitions Board in the Department of Defense and with the Joint United States Military Advisory Group in China.
Cyprus has been ruled by the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, the Byzantine Empire, England, Venice and the Turks since its written history began about 1,500 B.C.
During World War II Colonel Hanchin was with the 2nd Division in which he organized, trained and fought in Italy the 766th Field Artillery Battalion. Colonel and Mrs. Hanchin have four children.
