Right To Work To Be Debated
John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, and Dan Hopson Jr. assistant professor and assistant dean of the KU School of Law, will be on the negative side of an audience debate at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser Theater.
The affirmative team will be E. R. Zook, secretary-manager of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and Gene Courtney, former assistant professor of speech and drama now with the Centron Corp., Lawrence.
The topic of the debate is "Resolved: That Kansas should adopt the right to work bill." This is a proposed constitutional amendment to be voted on by Kansas in the general election in 1958. The bill was passed by the legislature in 1956 but vetoed by former Gov. Fred Hall.
This debate, open to the public, will be co-sponsored by the department of speech and drama and Phi Delta Phi, professional law fraternity. It is the first in a series.

Journal Dedicates Issue To Beamer
A special issue of the Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society will be dedicated as a memorial to the late Dr. Raymond H. Beamer, former professor of entomology and curator of the Francis Huntington Snow Entomological Museum.
The plan was announced today by the entomology department and the Kansas Entomological Society for an entra large issue probably to be published in April. The memorial edition will contain a biography of Dr. Beamer by Dr. H. B. Hungerford, professor emeritus of entomology and articles by Dr. Beamer's former students and friends.
Dr. Beamer, who was active in establishing the journal and served many years on its publication committee, died Nov. 21. He was widely known for his work in insect collecting, especially for his work with leaf hoppers. He described hundreds of new species and wrote more than 100 papers concerning his findings. Many of these were published in entomological magazines including the Kansas Entomological Journal.
He was largely responsible for the location of the Snow Museum in Snow Hall at KU and making it the largest university collection of insects in the U.S. A large library of materials concerning insects has been presented by his family to the University.

In Early Day Pranks
Skeleton Danced To Concert
You say you don't have anything to do in your leisure moments away from the books?
In those days the students had to rely on their ingenuity so it's not surprising that many celebrated pranks occurred during this time.
You should have been a student at KU back in the horse and buggy days when there were no basketball games, movies, cars, or radios.
Take for example the skeleton episode that took place during the Commencement exercises in 1873.
While the exercises were under way, a skleton bearing the label of P.R.E.X. was lowered mysteriously through a hole in the unfinished roof of the chapel, and to the accompaniment of the 5th U. S. Infantry band, which was playing a concert at the time, was made to dance and cavort in mid-air to the horror of all present.
Another prank was the telegram hoax of 1880. Two students, in an effort to achieve a day's holiday, caused a fake telegram to be delivered to Chancellor Marvin informing him of the sudden death of Reverend F. T. Ingalls of Atchison, a regent of the University.
Marvin left immediately for the funeral after leaving instructions that a memorial service be held the next day in the University chapel
However, one of the students did return to the University for his degree, and 30 years later appeared on the chapel program giving a talk to the students on how to succeed in life. Nothing was said in his remarks about the use of telegraphs
Another prank, caused by the traditional law-engineer school rivalry, occurred immediately after the engineers learned Green Hall was to be built for the law school.
Janitors were enlisted to form a bucket brigade but the battling factions frightened them asunder and the "memorial" burned down. But not before one lawyer climbed upon the flaming building and delivered an oration.
After a touching eulogy had been given by Professor Snow, it was discovered that Regent Ingalls was still very much alive, and somewhat indignant about the whole thing.
Engineer's hauled to the lot of the present structure a facsimile of an outhouse, filled with hay, but not without opposition from indignant law students—they set fire to it.
The two guilty students got more than the anticipated holiday. In fact, they were suspended from their scholarly activities. Maybe it is of no importance that they both eventually became lawyers.
Coed Dies After Plunge
(Continued from Page 1.)
Miss Maddox ranked in the upper 2 per cent nationally on the national merit tests and was in the upper 6 per cent of her Tulsa high school graduating class. She held a Carter Oil Co. scholarship which covered her tuition.
She apparently got away from her mother, went from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, and jumped out the window. Her father was in conference with Joe Skillman, KU police chief, at the time.
County coroner Byron Walters said Sunday the death was a suicide and there would be no inquest held.
Miss Emily Taylor, dean or women, said the coed had been doing good work until she started cutting classes excessively after missing school because of the flu. School officials did not find out she had been cutting classes until it was too late to help her, Dean Taylor said.
Funeral arrangements are being made by the Cooper-Warren Mortuary here and the Stanley Funeral Home in Tulsa.
After talking with the woman's parents Saturday the KU police said there seemed to be a family conflict which seemed more "strained than obvious."
Was Doing Good Work
Bees from Columbia and Ecuador have been added to the Hymenoptera collection at the Snow Entomological Museum.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning in the First Presbyterian Church in Tulsa. Burial will be in Tulsa.
1,300 GI's At KU Now
The 1,300 veterans enrolled at KU are part of the more than 10,000,000 veterans of World War II and the Korean conflict who have trained under educational programs administered by the Veterans Administration.
Dr. O. Myking Mehus of the Kansas City VA office said that more than 7,800,000 (1/2 of all World War II veterans) of the 10,000,000 trained under the World War II GI Bill. Another 1,800,000 (two out of every five Korean veterans) trained under the Korean GI Bill. Dr. Mehus said he expects the number using the Korean bill to grow since the program does not end until 1965.
New Bees Complete Museum Collection
He said 162,000 disabled World War II veterans and 48,000 disabled Korean veterans have received vocational rehabilitation training.
According to Dr. C. D. Michener, curator of the museum, this addition is of special value because it will complete the collection of bees from North and South America.

Game Parking To Be 50 Cents
Parking in the areas around Allen Field House for KU basketball games will cost 50 cents this season.
Arthur C. Lonborg, athletic director, said the legislature gave the University permission to charge for parking this year to raise funds for the building of more parking facilities.
Mr. Lonborg said the parking areas on the north and east of the field house and the football practice areas south of the fieldhouse will be used for pay parking. He estimated the areas will hold 1,500 cars.
Student seating in the 17,000 seat building will be in sections 12-22, the same as in 1956, and students will again use the north entrance, he said.
No smoking or drinking of alcoholic beverages is allowed in the field house.
The team opens its home season Wednesday against Caniusus.
