She's Representing Kansas
Cherry Princess In Social Whirl
Sharon Lynch, Salina senior, is in Washington, D.C. for a whirlwind week of parties and dinners where she will represent Kansas as this year's cherry blossom princess.
Miss Lynch, an elementary education major, was chosen by Sen. Frank Carlson to represent the state at the annual cherry blossom festival which opened Tuesday. She celebrated her 22nd birthday on the opening.
Each of 50 princesses representing states and territories will have a number assigned on a wheel of fortune. The queen will be chosen Saturday when the wheel stops spinning on one of the numbers.
SHARON LYNCH
Miss Lynch was accompanied to Washington by her mother, Mrs. Bryan Lynch. Sen. and Mrs. Carlson met them at the airport Saturday.
The princess will go to parties given by various states all week. She was the guest of honor at a dinner-dance given by the Kansas legislature Saturday night.
"Sharon knew that she had been chosen about a month ago," Ellen Proudfit, Kansas City, Kan. senior and Miss Lynch's roommate, said. "She was very excited when she left. She had been planning her wardrobe for weeks. It included seven full length formals.
Monday Miss Lynch and her mother had lunch at the capitol with Sen. and Mrs. Carlson and other members of the Kansas legislature. Mrs. Pearl Mesta, Washington hostess, gave the women curtseying instructions Monday night.
She will return to KU April 3.

Faculty Member To Study City
The city of Toronto has consolidated 13 cities in the area into a federal form of government. Mr. Grumm said the organization works something like the United States government—there is some central control and each city also has some power of its own.
Mr. Grumm said the plan has been in operation about six years. He said he will attempt to determine just how well the plan has worked and whether such a plan would be applicable to larger cities in the United States.
Mr. Grumm will receive $800 for the study.

Opinions Vary Over KU's Achievements
Opinions are split among students and faculty members as to whether KU is equipped with sufficient courses, personnel, and facilities to attain the goals set by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at a development conference Saturday.
Jack Cooper, Wichita senior: "KU has the potential to reach those goals; but does need more buildings and faculty members."
Jim Moore, Pleasanton sophomore: "KU does have the courses and personnel, and could achieve these goals by making better use of what it has available."
The following students and faculty were asked this question: Is the University today equipped with the courses, personnel and facilities to attain the limit of the students' ability?
Chancellor Murphy, speaking at the conference attended by KU alumni and friends, said the University should strive for greatness in research and education.
David Dykstra, instructor in English: "A first class education depends on first class standards. A student like anyone else is motivated by competition. The problem is to keep the standards high enough to be challenging, but not so high as to be discouraging."
Every student should be forced to the limit of his ability, but requirements shouldn't be so high that they prevent the average motivated student to get a first-class education. Dr. Murphy said.
