Engineering Exposition Plans Underway
Plans for a bigger and better Engineering Exposition, to be held April 18-19, are now underway.
Carlos Campuzano, Kansas City, Mo. senior and president of the Engineering Council, said that applications for general chairman and publicity chairman for the 38th annual Exposition must be sent to him at 1116 Indiana before March 1.
Applicants for the general chairmanship must be a junior or senior engineering student who has been active in previous expositions, Campuzano said. The publicity chairman will be selected from sophomore, junior and senior applicants who have had some publicity experience.
The departmental exhibit allowance will "probably be increased $10 to $15 over last year," Campuzano said.

Kress Foundation Action Explained
"Mr. Kress has asked the trustees failing to accept the hand-off attitude toward the chain's management to resign from the foundation," Mr. Rogers writes. "The chances are good that these men will refuse Mr. Kress' invitation to step down."
On Feb. 14 Mr. Kress accused seven of the trustees, excluding only his son-in-law, Charles L. Abry, of starting a proxy fight to gain control of the company.
Face "Moral Business Decision"
Mr. Rogers writes that "the trustees face what is essentially a moral business decision. Is their primary allegiance to co-founder Kress or to utilizing the fullest possible potential of the foundation's stock portfolio?" The foundation holds 42 per cent of the Kress company stock.
The trustees believe that by improving the chain's management they can increase the funds flowing to the foundation in the form of Kress company dividends, Mr. Rogers says.
Last October the trustees, who previously had authorized Mr. Kress to vote the proxies for the foundation shares as he wished, adopted a resolution authorizing a majority of the trustees to determine how they should be voted at the meeting in New York City May 13.
Mr. Kress said the action of the foundation in taking from him the power to vote its shares and the demand for a management survey endangered the tax-exempt status of the foundation as a charitable organization.

"The Life of Emile Zola," tonight's KU Film Series presentation, is a biography of the French naturalist-author who wrote "Nana." "Germinal," and many other novels.
The talk, arranged by the Kansas chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America, will be 8 p.m. Wednesday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Tonight's Movie: 'Life Of Zola'
Dr. Pericot will also give an illustrated Humanities lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday on "Roman Art in Spain."
The paintings found in this area were on the inner walls of the caves, and were done by torch light by these primitive people who lived in the front of the dwellings, said James E. Seaver, associate professor of history.
The film will be shown at 7:30 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
The picture includes the story of Zola's part in the Dreyfus affair which rocked France in the 1890s. Capt. Dreyfus had been convicted of treason and sent to Devil's Island, but was cleared and pardoned after five years. Zola wrote the famous "J'accuse," a letter to the president of France in which he denounced those responsible for the affair. Zola was tried for libel, but escaped to England.
His has written numerous publications on history and archaeology, and has taken part in many archaeological excavations.

Speakers Know When To Quit
HOLLYWOOD—(UP)—The toastmaster was takin' no chances that speakers at the national Standard Parts Assn. Convention in Hollywood would overrun their alloted time. The orators knew they had to sit down when a traffic signal in the rear of the room turned amber, then red. For added emphasis, a bell clanged vigorously.
