Sees A Fencing Winner
Building a winning fencing team will take about four years according to John H. Giele, instructor of sociology and adviser-coach of the Fencers Club, a recent addition to the KU Sports Clubs Assn.
Formed last September, the group is open to all male students and faculty members. The 12-man team competes with foil, epee and saber on interclub and inter-collegiate levels.
Team membership and position on the squad are based upon performance in club bouts,workout periods and over all attitude toward fencing
Meets Scheduled
Competition is arranged with
"Big Eight" and "Independent" schools as well as local fencing clubs. Meets with the universities of Colorado and Nebraska, the Air Force Academy and the Kansas City Fencers Club are on the 1958 schedule.
NCAA rules state that a man may fence only one weapon during any particular meet. The rule results in specialization for competitive purposes, Mr. Giele said.
"I'm sending three men, one in each weapon, to the NCAA championships at Lubbock, Tex., in March," coach Giele said. Texas Tech will be the host team.
Hasn't Changed Much
"The sport of fencing as we know it today," he emphasized, "is subject to an ever-growing code of rules, but differs little in basic techniques from its more martial counterpart of other days."
Although the University has provided equipment for a 12-man team, club plans call for an eventual addition for team and club use.
KU Jazz Club Slates Big Eight Jazz Festival
The KU Jazz Club, soon to be sponsored by SUA, is planning the first Big Eight jazz festival April 20 at KU.
Don Conard, Garden City senior and club president, said rules and other details will be discussed at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas U. trophy room.
Mr. Conard, whose Don Conard Quartet was in the Big Eight talent troupe, organized the KU jazz club in January. He said the club now has sufficient membership and student interest to become a part of SUA.
"When we're sponsored by SUA we'll not only have the backing to take on the jazz festival, but we'll also be able to bring groups like Dave Brubeck's to the campus next year, he said.
"Four schools in the conference have jazz clubs," he said. "The others have shown interest in the festival, so we hope they will be represented here in April."
There will be a local contest to choose the group to represent each school in the festival. Judges will be non-student musicians, he said.
Several small combos, individual musicians and just plain jazz lovers make up the KU club" he said.
After Thursday's business meeting there will be a jam session.
Gina Stars In Film At Hoch Saturday
The next movie in the KU Film Series, "Pane, Amore, E Fantasia" (Bread, Love, and Dreams), starring Gina Lollibrinda, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Hoch Auditorium.
It was rescheduled from the regular Friday showing to avoid conflict with the KU-Qklahoma basketball game.

Robert L. Talmadge, associate library director, told The Daily Kansas that the new system for night book returning would be in operation as soon as weather stripping is put on the outside slot.
Library Installing Night Book Slot
The old landmark has been replaced by a modern outside hinged door which returns books through a chute to a blond plywood box inside the undergraduate library at the west end of Watson.
The dull night collection box at Watson Library will be retired after the last book slins through its slot sometime this week.
ROTC To Hear Missile Men
Three Army missiles experts will speak at a meeting of Scabbard and Blade at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in the Jayhawk Room of the Union.
He said the date of change will be posted in the library so students will learn to change their habits of returning books. He said the new
Maj. Patrick W. Powers, who has written several books on Army missiles and rockets, will be one of the speakers.
Lt. Col. James McElroy, another speaker is a former commanding officer of the 1st Guided Missile Battalion, White Sands, N. M.
The third speaker will be Maj. Robert Fye, faculty member of the Command and General Staff College, Ft. Leavenworth.
The spring semester English proficiency examination will be given from 2-5 p.m., Saturday, March 22, according to David Dykstra, instructor of English and chairman of the examination.
English Exam Coming Again
Mr. Dykstra said registration for the examination will be March 17, 18, and 19. It will be the last examination before graduation, although another examination will be given this summer.
Students with junior standing or above in the College, School of Education, Journalism, Fine Arts, Medicine and Nursing can register in the office of their dean. The examination is a graduation requirement of the above schools.
Room numbers for the examination will be assigned at registration
location for night deposits was for the convenience of students. The old box was in front of the main door. However the undergraduate entrance is used more than the main doors are, he said.
"All books may be returned through the outside slot at any hour the library is closed," he said. "All books will be due at the same times as before."
From the outside, the new return chute looks something like a room air conditioner. Mr. Talmadge said that the aluminum hood and slot, inserted in a window, will be painted.
The inside frame is finished to blend with the interior of the undergraduate room. It holds a book truck and takes up only two and a half feet of floor space.
The chute opening in the east window of the west wing will accommodate books up to four inches thick and 1 foot 10 inches wide.
Arthur W. Martin Jr., undergraduate department librarian, said, "Books no longer will be worn from dropping to the bottom of a box because the receiving platform is on springs. No incoming book will ever hit the floor."
John M. Nugent, head of the circulation department, said he preferred that over-sized art books be returned during library hours.
Library officials said the old book return system was complicated by the new final week schedule. They said the overloading of the box on the last exam day showed the need for better collection facilities.
