LOOK INTO THE FUTURE—Conrad Brown, Bartlesville, Okla. senior, looks at the Kansas Union display of the industrial designs of the future. (Daily Kansan photo)
Futuristic Fashions
Future designs for cars, trucks and appliances, made by art students, are on display in the Kansas Union south parlor and at the industrial design department on Strong Hall third floor.
The exhibit of industrial designs by juniors and seniors, taught by Roger M. English, assistant professor of design, includes electric shavers, racers, mixers, television sets and other items.
Mr. English said designs displayed are representative of all drawings made in his class this year. The class for juniors and seniors may be divided into sections next year, he said. Four years ago there were only 8 industrial design majors and now there are 49, he added.
Apply For Study Grants
Applications for three new Fulbright competition awards for graduate study in Ireland are now available in 306 Fraser Hall.
Prof. J. A. Burzle, chairman of the department of Germanic and Slavic languages and Fulbright adviser, said that application forms must be turned in to his office no later than April 15.
A $600 travel scholarship renewa has been received by the German department from an anonymous foundation. The scholarship is given yearly to defray expenses of exchange students to Switzerland and Germany and will be offered to
deserving students, Prof. Burzle said.
The department has also recently received $469.90 from the KU Student Organization Fund for a KU-England travel exchange scholarship. The money is 10 per cent of the KU Campus Chest drive.
The Chaim Weizmann Memorial Foundation will award two fellowships for research in the natural sciences at Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, for the 1958-59 academic year.
Each fellowship provides a maximum of $5,500. Students may get application forms from Prof. Burzle in 306 Fraser Hall before April 10.

Incomes Vary, Expenses Don't
Erratic income and stable expenses are the big problems of the budget of the KU-Y. Charles Johnson, secretary of the organization, said in an interview that the annual income for the KU-Y can vary greatly from year to year.
(Editor's note—This is the second of two articles on the two organizations at KU having the most student participation.)
The main source of income for the KU-Y is the annual Rock Chalk Revue which the Y sponsors. In 1957 the Revue earned $3,300, the largest sum ever received from that program. Mr. Johnson said that this sum varies, pointing out that in 1955 it made only $1,500 because of bad weather which cut attendance.
Mr. Johnson said usually the second biggest source of revenue is alumni support. This, too, can change from year to year, he said. Some years the KU-Y may receive as much as $1,500 a year from this source, while the next year the figure may dip as low as
$700.
Another surce of revenue is the Henley House owned by the KU-Y, which provides housing for women graduate students. Mr. Johnson said this year the Y would realize about $1,000 but the figure fluctuates with the amount spent for remodeling and upkeep.
Union Displays Steinberg Santa
Santa Claus, with a new face, figure and personality, has come to the Kansas Union in an exhibit of 19 original Christmas paintings by artist Saul Steinberg.
The exhibit, from the Hallmark Cards collection, will be at the Union for the rest of this month, said Mrs. Katherine Carr Giele, SUA activities director.
Steinberg's Santa, originated four years ago, has developed an extraordinary number of talents and characteristics. He is a fantasy instead of the static figure he is generally shown to be. The only conventional feature which Steinberg retained is the old man's girth.
Although Steinberg is one of the few artists to tamper with the firmly entrenched idea of Santa, he has won critics' acclaim for his audacity. For most artists, Santa
has been the same since Clement Moore described him in his poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Cartoonist Thomas Nast depicted the now-traditional form in the 1860s.
Steinberg pictures Santa as a rather solemn, dignified old man who owns a variety of suits, including those with oriental decorations. His weakness is tasseled caps, also frequently ornamented. Something resembling a Christmas tree ornament generally dangles from the tassel. On occasion his chest is adorned with brilliant military decorations.
Critics have called Mr. Steinberg a "comic draughtsman of outstanding genius."
$1,000 From Memberships
$1,000 From Memberships He said the Y also receives about $1,000 yearly form memberships, 15 per cent of the money received from the Campus Chest drive each year and the money from the sale of chrysanthemums for the annual Parents Day during the football season.
Salaries Biggest Expense
The biggest expense item is for salaries of the fulltime KU-Y secretaries, Mr. Johnson and Miss Sara Guy. The KU-Y also employs a worker for part-time office help. Both of the secretaries are selected by the national YMCA and YWCA departments.
Faculty membership drives may yield as little as $200 a year or as much as $500. Mr. Johnson said.
Salaries Biggest Expense
Probably the smallest amount or revenue received, $200, is from other organizations that use the KU-Y's office equipment.
Programs are the second largest expense item. They will run approximately $1,150 this year. Mr. Johnson said this goes for speakers, study matter, programs and refreshments. The KU-Y sponsors a watermelon feed, a freshman party, takes part in the SUA carnival, and campus forum. It also furnishes a speaker for Religious Emphasis Week as well as conducting discussion and integration groups.
Mr. Johnson's official title is general secretary in charge of administration. Miss Guy is in charge of the program areas and oversees the different events sponsored by the organization.
He said the KU-Y also makes contributions to the Student Religious Council for expenses on Religious Emphasis Week, to the National Student Movement of YMCA's and YWCA's, and to the World Student Christian Federation.
General operating expenses are the next large item, running about $700 a year, and public relations expenses for delegates to the district, regional and national meetings costs about $550. Mr. Johnson added.
