Cervantes Day Will Be Held Saturday
The 37th annual Cervantes Day celebration will be held Saturday, commemorating the 345th anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, author of "Don Quixote." Four hundred persons are expected to attend.
The Spanish section of the department of Romance languages and the Kansas Chapter of the American Assn. of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese will be hosts at an informal coffee hour on the second floor of Fraser Hall from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
IN ERASER THEATER at 10:30 am. there will be a Spanish lecture by Dr. Martha de Castro on "El Arte latifoamericano en la epoca de los conquistadores."
Dr. de Castro, a Cuban, was a professor of Art History at the University of Havana and is presently a Visiting Professor of Art History here. She has published several works on architecture and has taught courses on
art and architecture in various universities in Cuba. She has traveled extensively in North and South America, Europe, and the Near and Far East.
The annual meeting of the Teachers Assn. will be at 11:30. There will be displays and demonstrations in the language sound room from 9 to 12 and in the Kansas Union all day.
The luncheon will be served in the Kansas Room of the Union at 12:30. Dr. Jose Maria de Osma, founder of Cervantes Day at KU will preside.
THE ANNUAL PROGRAMA de Variedades will take place in Fraser Theater at 2:30. Students from KU and several schools and colleges throughout Kansas and western Missouri will present plays, sketches, songs and dances with Spanish and Latin American themes.
Included in the "Programa" will be a one-act comedy, "Su Primer Cliente," by Jose Cid Peres.
Instructor Lectures On Athens, Greece
Stephen L. Glass, instructor of Latin and Greek and a member of the Art History Department, yesterday took the members of his lecture audience on an imaginary tour of Athens, Greece.
Mr. Glass said that although the location of Greece might make it inconvenient to travelers, a trip there is very worthwhile. He said Greece still rules the cultural world, just as it did in old times.

Three Seniors Get Top Grad Awards
Three KU seniors together have won the top graduate fellowships in national competition — the Rhodes Scholarship, the Woodrow Wilson fellowship and the Danforth grant.
Fred Morrison, Colby senior, was selected in all three competitions and will probably accept the Rhodes award first since he may petition for a delay of the Danforth grant.
The other two Danforth winners are John L. Hodge, Kansas City, and John H. Jewell, Garden City.
Morrison is the third KU student in three years to win one of the 32 Rhodes awards in the nation.
Each school is permitted to nominate only three candidates in the Danforth competition. Only two other universities — Brown and Wesleyan" of Connecticut, private schools — had three candidates selected for the grant.
Only one other student at a Kansas school won a Danforth grant and only three others from Big Eight schools received Danforth grants.
KU to Share $600,000 Grant
KU will share in administration of a 5-year grant totaling $600,000 by the Ford Foundation to the Citizenship Clearing House. KU's governmental research center is one of 20 regional clearing houses for the national program serving colleges and universities in Kansas and Missouri.
Ethan P. Allan, professor of political science and director of the research center, is regional director for the Citizenship Clearing House. The house is a cooperative effort to stimulate undergraduates toward lifelong activity in political parties. John G. Grumm, assistant professor of political science, is the associate director for the 2-state area.
The city of Athens is to the north. Athens is situated on a plain surrounded by mountains. In the center of Athens, on a plateau 500 feet above the city, is the Acropolis.
On the Acropolis is the Parthenon, which was built in the 5th century. Mr. Glass said it was partially destroyed in 1687.
From the Acropolis one has a view of the entire city. There is Mount Lycabettos, on which the Church of St. George is located; Mount Hymetos, which is famous for its honey; and the Areopagus, where St. Paul spoke to the Athenians.
AT NIGHT the Aeropolis is lighted and a commentary for tourists is played in three languages.
The third edition of the 1961 Jayhawker, which is the Centennial edition, will be distributed next Tuesday
The National Archaeological Museum is found just north of the Acropolis. This museum includes such items as the Vapheio cups and the Zeus statue. Bronze statues discovered in Piraeus soon will be added to the museum.
Jayhawkers to Be Out Next Week
All art material being stored from past semesters in the craftshop of the Kansas Union must be cleared from the cabinets by May 5 or the material will be discarded.
Several factors have caused this year's edition to be later than expected.
Old Art Materials To Be Discarded
Charles Moffet, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the craft shop, said this old art material is in the way of students taking craftshop lessons sponsored by the SUA.
Russell D'Anna, Lawrence senior and editor of the Jayhawker, said because this part is the Centennial edition, the advertisements are like those used in 1861. The campus pictures of 1861 had to be touched up in order to reproduce them well, D'Anna said.
The Jayhawker temporarily lost many of its staff members and photographers because of their participation in Rock Chalk Revue and Greek Week. Also this third edition will include pictures of the spring sorority pledges from KU's new rush system.

L. Worth Seagondollar, professor of physics, is directing the project, which is entitled "Nuclear Energy Levels in Low and Medium Mass Range." The grant will make possible a fifth year of study on the project, beginning June 1.
In his study, Prof. Seagendollar said he hopes to find additional information that may be applied to the general problem of determining how nuclei are constructed.
