History Written On Seat 31
Desk top destroyer attention! Last spring with the opening of the new Music and Dramatic Arts Building a number of unmarred desk tops were graciously provided.
They have given you a year to display your talents, and in the future you will have the desks and tables of the new business school to work on.
You are fortunate to have so many new desks since you have been running out of space to work in.
Take for example poor seat 31 in 417 Snow Hall. Two of its occupants got acquainted through correspondence written on its top.
Evidently this desk was also the home office for a date bureau. A form was made out and blanks were left for the necessary information.
Another resident of seat 31 endeared himself to all Barbaras by writing on its battered surface, "Barb is a big baboon."
Seat 31 is not unique. Every student has been plagued by the handiwork of the desk top artist. While writing an examination the students' pencil bumps over the carvings, poking holes in the paper.
What is the solution to the problem? All the desk tops could be refinished every two or three years, but the creative writers and artists would probably work faster than the buildings and grounds department.

The class of 1958 has mixed emotions about leaving the University. They are eager to get out on their own but are somewhat reluctant to leave campus life and friends, a Daily Kansan interview showed.
Evelyn Hall. Wichita, said, "I'm quite anxious to leave as I'm kind of tired of the academic situation and having to depend on parental money. I think most seniors want to get a taste of the world."
Warren Gay, Topeka. "I have no regrets about leaving. I'll be glad to get in the service as I'm not sure yet what I want to do."
Anne Schowalter, Kansas City,
"I'm going to miss college because
I enjoyed it so much, but I wouldn't
want to spend all my life here."
Soghie Stathopoulos, Kansas City, Mo., "Leaving KU will be a new challenge because it will be the first time I've been out on my own."
Jay Templin, St. John, "I'm glad to make it through but will miss my friends. Having been in the service, I've been out and back and I kind of enjoy the outside world."
Miss Outland is doing doctoral work in biochemistry at KU, and working as a research assistant to Dwight Mulford, professor of biochemistry.
Graduate Student Gets AAUW Fellowship
A $2,000 fellowship from the American Assn. of University Women has been awarded to Charlotte E. Outland, Birmingham, Ala. graduate student, for research in the biochemistry department.
Class Of 1958 Eager, Yet Reluctant To Leave
Miss Outland is one of 40 American women to receive the A.A.U.W. Fellowships which totaled $106,500. Three women from abroad also were awarded fellowships. Individual awards range from $2,000 to $4,000. Miss Outland's award is the Martha Catching Enochs Fellowship.
Carolyn Yates, Kansas City, Mo., "I'm glad to be getting out as I don't think any more could be gained by staving. The four years have been well spent and I don't regret it."
Senate Decrees Special Honors
Superior KU scholars graduating next month will be given special recognition through action taken Tuesday by the University Senate.
Effective immediately each school may designate the top 10 percent of its graduates as scholastic honor graduates, according to the ruling.
Not more than the upper one-third of the honor group will be graduated "with highest distinction." The remainder of the honor group will graduate "with distinction." These designations will be placed on the Commencement program, the diploma and the transcript of each individual.
George B. Smith, dean of the University, said these regulations and honors had been adopted after an extensive survey of the recognition procedures of comparable universities.
The new system will not affect the departmental honors programs by which some seniors are listed in the Commencement program as having earned "honors" in a specific subject area.

W. Keith Weltmer, associate professor of business administration, will address the annual meeting of the Iowa Society of Certified Public Accountants Friday in Des Moines. Professor Weltmer, in addition to teaching accounting is executive secretary of the Kansas Society of Certified Public Accountants and director of the summer Executive Development Program.
