An exhibition of work by Carolus Linnaeus, 18th century Swedish botanist, is now on display in the main lobby of Watson Library. The exhibition honors the 250th anniversary of his birth in 1707.
Linnaeus' Work Shown
Linnaeus made an important contribution to science in the publication of the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae in 1758, according to Thomas R. Buckman, head of the library acquisitions department.
In this work he classified plants and animals into groups similar to those now used by scientists. He also originated binomial nomenclature, or the identification of all plants and animals by only two terms, the genus and species names.
All material used in the exhibit is from the Ralph N. Ellis collection of literature on ornithology and the Thomas Jefferson Fitzgerald collection of American science works. Photographs were obtained from the Swedish Linnaeus society.
Linnaeus was a professor at Uppsala University, the oldest in Sweden. He is recognized as a physician, for at that time the sciences of botany and medicine were closely related, according to Mr. Buckman.
Taylor Contest To Run Again
The contest is being sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor of Kansas City, Mo. Among other interests she has amassed a large collection of books and other materials pertaining to the celebrated American journalist, Henry Louis Mencken.
The contest will be open in March of 1958.
The Taylor Student Book Collection contest will again be conducted in the spring semester, 1958. The contest will be open to all regularly enrolled students at the University
hawk Follies Nov. 22 in Allen Field House. Two will be chosen at a later date, according to Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Kan. senior, carnival chairman.
New features of the carnival this year were decorations in front of the Student Union and a variety show after the closing of skits and booths. Panels picturing traditional carnival attractions, a canopy over the union doors and calliope music from loudspeakers added to carnival atmosphere.
The variety show included the Ed Fording combo, the Triads and Jan, a quartet from K-State and a tap dance act. Dale Flanagan, Columbus senior, was master of ceremonies for the show.
Girls in outer space suits, others with green hair, barkers for the various booths and skis and public address system droning the story of "Chuck Tater" added to the confusion and atmosphere of the scene.
100 Per Cent Rebate
Houses participating in the carnival will receive a 100 per cent rebate, according to Varnum. Attendance figures for the booths and skirts indicated that all houses will receive substantial amounts, he said.

U.S. Satellite Talk Tuesday
"Too long American people have borrowed art that does not belong to us." Dr. Howard Hanson said in his dedicatory address in the theater of the new Music and Dramatic Arts Building Sunday. He told a crowd of approximately 800 persons that he felt that United States should develop their own art.
'US Should Develop Art'
School Honors Prof. Swarthout
Dean Emeritus Donald M. Swarthout of the University of Kansas School of Fine Arts was honored Sunday as the 400-seat recital hall in the new Music and Dramatic Arts building was named for him.
Dean and Mrs. Swarthout were present, coming from Washington, D.C., where they have made their home since his retirement from the KU faculty in 1955, and where he has been visiting professor of piano at the Catholic University.
Announcement of the naming of Swarthout Recital Hall was made by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy during the Sunday dedication.
George M. Beal, professor of architecture, will be chairman of the morning session of a state-wide planning conference at Manhattan Wednesday.
State and national conferences for teachers and students in architecture will be held this month.
A bust of Dean Swarthout also was placed in its permanent display position Sunday in the foyer of Swarthout Recital Hall. The bust, the work of Elden C. Tefft, assistant professor of sculpture at KU, was purchased by contributions to the KU Endowment Assn.
Dean Swarthout came to KU in 1923 to head the School of Fine Arts. He retired from the deanship in 1950 and continued as professor of piano until attaining emeritus status in 1955.
Prof. Beal said the conference is called "Planning For Survival" and is pointed toward the highway program of the state. He said roads, shopping centers and road approaches will be discussed.
KU Architects To Meet
About 150 to 200 architects, bankers and city officials are expected to attend. Prof. Beal said.
The KU student chapter of the American Institute of Architecture will send two representatives to the National Association of Students of Architecture meeting in Washington. D, C, Nov. 25-27.
Charles Winters, Kansas City Kan, senior, will be the delegate and Robert McGlashon, Kirkwood, Mo junior the alternate delegate.
KU-K-State Rivalry Still Rampant
A National Association of Students of Architecture magazine carried pictures of KU students' work in it 1956-57 issue.
An organized attempt to damage
Two sleekly groomed show cows, ready for their presentation at the American Royal with a distinct "KU" clipped into the hair on their sides, are but two of many victims of the colorful and sometimes hectic pre-football rivalry between KU and Kansas State College.
On numerous occasions, Touchdown IV, the K-State wildcat, has found himself on the Lawrence campus. In 1950, he was held at KU for 12 hours before law officers insisted that he be returned to Manhattan.
The signing of peace pacts between the two schools since 1931 has actually done little to discourage pranksters from doing the usual tricks. In that year, both schools were damaged so extensively that officiols decided to sign the pact at a dinner held in alternating towns each year. This year, the event was held in Manhattan.
the K-Staters' spirit in 1954 was a postcard flood to Manhattan sponsored by KuKus. They sold several thousand cards inscribed with personal comments about the game outcome.
Plans for a wild raid on K-State were ended in 1953 when the KU visitors could not find the campus. They instead distributed leaflets and banners in city parking lots until Manhattan police found them and led them to the campus for a "peaceful raid."
Battle In 1953
The 1953 game also featured a general melee on the field after the contest. For 20 minutes, students from the two schools battled until at last K-State torre down a goal post. Television cameramen, hoping to capture a little after-game color, showed the fight to the entire midwestern area.
Controversy arose in 1951 over
who did extensive painting of both cannuses in one night. University Daily Kansan staff members were accused, but it was agreed that the job was done by someone who was not connected with either school.
Before the attempts at peace between the two schools, damage was extensive and rivalry was perhaps more vigorous than now. Often in the old days, the whole campus would be wakened in the middle of the night to the cry, "the Aggies are coming!" Banners of "Silo Tech" and "Flaw on the Kaw" floating over the campuses were commonplace.
A trophy for the winner of the game is traditionally awarded at the end of the game. Only in 1954 was the award not given. It was misplaced when the Student Union was remodeled and could not be awarded until the peace pact dinner the following year.
Dr. Hanson, who is director of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., and is a well known composer, conductor, composition teacher, and administrator, spoke on "The Arts in an Age of Science."
"Art is like clothes" he said,
"Those of someone else will be too long or too tight. Genuine culture is an indigenous culture."
The creative arts are man's search for things beautiful, he said. "The creative arts must return to the grass-roots."
DR. HOWARD HANSON
"Man is turning to philosophy, religion, and the creative arts for solace in the world today," he said. "The challenge is with us, the power of science must be met and conquered."
Progress In Science
Dr. Hanson said that science today is better than years ago and that much progress has been made in the advancement of science. "In the Arts," he said, "people would not sav things were better today. Things change, trying to better express themselves, but no progress in the scientific sense is made."
He used music as an example for all forms of art. He said that music should be taught enthusiastically because it is from the teacher that the pupil gains appreciation for the lessons. "Arts are from the spirit and must be taught with spirit," he said.
He said that one must become immersed in the arts to get the full and complete meaning of them. Lessons in sociology, teamwork, and therapy are gained from work in the arts.
Dean Gorton Starts Ceremonies Dedication ceremonies were opened at 3 p.m. by Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts, Dean Harold G. Barr of the School of Religion gave the invocation.
Mrs. Elizabeth Haughey, representing the Board of Regents, presented the Music and Dramatic Arts Building to the University, Dr. Franklin D. Murphy accepted the building.
Dr. Murphy introduced the special guests. They were Dean Emeritus Donald M. Swarthout, of the School of Fine Arts; Dr. Allen Crafton, retired chairman of the department of speech and drama; and the building architects, Mr. Jerry Brinkman and Mr. J. Stanley Hagan of Emporia.
