Not A Big Brother, But He's Watching
Although KU students are probably unaware of it, they are being observed by someone here for just that purpose. He is Joe Madawela, Kandy, Ceylon, graduate student.
Madawela is a participant in the Foreign Student Leadership Project, operated by the National Students' Assn. and supported by a grant from the Ford Foundation. $ ^{ \textcircled{4}} $
His duties are to gather material and data about the problems affecting the lives and studies of students. He is one of a 5-man Research and Information Committee which report its findings at International Student Conferences held every year in a different part of the world.
In the past year, Madawela studied the student situation in Cyprus and traveled to Greece, Turkey, and Algeria in connection with his study
JOE MADAWELA
Although most of his experiences in connection with his work have been pleasant, he recalls one particularly unpleasant incident which happened to him in Turkey last year.
Some Turkish newsmen, interviewing him about his work in Greece and his meeting with the controversial Archbishop Mikarios, became insulting, he said when he refused to answer questions about the Greek political situation and they would not accept his explanation that his job did not permit him to comment on political affairs in the nations he studied.
While not working for a degree at KU, this "professional student," as he laughingly calls himself, is taking courses in French, international relations, and economics.
He finds the Union a good place to do the observing his job entails.
"The Student Union is one of the places that I've gotten to know well," he said.
"It's possible to come into contact with many people there and to discuss problems informally. One of my favorite pastimes, even at home, was to spend a good deal of time in the student cafeteria. It's a good habit."

He describes living at Stephenson, men's scholarship hall, as "one of my most pleasant experiences on the campus. Doing any work for a hall creates a greater bond among the fellows, and you belong more to the hall when you work for it."
"I haven't seen much of Lawrence and the surrounding area," he said. "Recently, for the first time, I visited a mechanized American farm with one of my friends and enjoyed it very much."
He will remain in the United States until August, when he goes to Holland. And after the eighth International Student Conference, tentatively scheduled to be held in Brazil early in 1959, he hopes to go back to his country and join the foreign service.
Work Galore Needed To Prepare Exhibits
There are probably few people on the campus who realize the work that must be done by Museum of Art personnel in preparing for an exhibition of any kind of object ranging from a bronze fountain to a delicate piece of ceramic work. $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
Work done for the preparation of the Rose exhibition of ceramics to open the first week in November is typical of that done by the museum staff for each of its approximately 12 exhibitions throughout the year.
The Rose collection is being loaned to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. Lester F. Rose, Topeka. Mr. Rose is a government employee interested especially in the collection of earthware and porcelain objects. The collection includes about 300 17th to 19th century pieces from Holland, England, France, Italy and Germany.
The first step in preparing an exhibition is to talk with the collector and make arrangements to see the collection, according to Ellen Werner, curator of decorative arts at the museum. If it is considered of museum quality, pieces representing a cross section of the collection are selected for exhibition.
The pieces are packed for shipping to the museum. After their arrival, the actual exhibition preparations begin.
Lists of all nieces are made and all available material on the objects is collected. This information is printed in a catalogue prepared for each exhibit by the museum. Identification cards for the objects while they are on exhibition are also prepared from the information.
For each exhibition, the background material in the various museum galleries must be changed. Backgrounds are painted in some display cases. For a show such as "Fontinalia-The Art of the Fountain and the Fountain in Art" preparations included extensive
carpentry work to build a pool of water in the lower gallery. An electric pump and gravel also are used, in the fountain show.
When all background details are complete, the actual objects to be shown are arranged with a sense of artistic display by Edward Maser, director of the museum, according to Miss Werner.
Receptions are given by the museum in honor of most of the larger exhibition openings, Miss Werner said. The shows usually last about six weeks.
Prizes for the best costumes went to Arlene Maynard, Peoria, Ill. graduate student, in the women's division and to Paul Pyeatte, Yates Center junior, in the men's division.
Dancing, singing, and prizes were features of the International Club's "American Evening" Halloween Ball given by the American members for the foreign students Saturday.
Charles Oldfather, associate professor of law, accompanying himself on the guitar, entertained the group with a series of American folk songs.

Walker To Be On Panel
The director of the University Extension, Howard Walker, will appear on a panel "The Use of the Public School Facilities for a Total Educational Program" Friday at the Kansas State Teachers Assn. meeting in Topeka.
That Depends On The Crop!
"We're going to start clearing off the lot for the new student center Saturday," the campus religious adviser told a group of students. "You men come on over and we'll have a Woodchoppers' Stomp. You women come too and we'll let you play Pick Up Sticks."
"The girls will come if the boys will help us sew," a member of the sewing circle piped up.

"Sow what?" the adviser asked.
"Wild oats?"
The KU pep club migration to Nebraska was, like the game, a success.
Approximately 750 tickets were sold to persons in the Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City area, according to Earl Falkenstein, business manager of the Athletic Association.
Many KU Fans See NU Game
Chartered buses included a bus for pep club members, two buses by the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and a bus by Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
How many of this number were KU students is not known. However, many students did attend the game. Transportation included chartered buses, cars and a special train from Kansas City.
More than 150 KU alumni attended an alumni reception and registration held Saturday morning in the lobby of the Lincoln Hotel, according to Dick Wintermote, field secretary of the alumni association
"Live Oaks," a watercolor by Winslow Homer, 19th century American artist, has been returned to the Museum of Art after being a part of a State Department collection of art from American colleges and universities.
Winslow Homer Painting Returned
Two watercolors and one oil painting by Homer are a part of the permanent William Bridges Thayer memorial collection at the museum.
The collection was exhibited in London, Brussels, Munich and other western European cities during the past year, according to Edward Maser, director of Museum of Arts.

"who are these—
UNITARIANS?''
Unitarians believe the striving to live nobly and constructively more important than the accepting of religious creeds.
Unitarians are convinced that religious truth cannot be contrary to truth from any other source.
Unitarians offer a religious program for children and adults of all cultures, with reason as our guide, and service as our aim.
Unitarians believe that the great end in religious education is, not to stamp our minds irresistibly on the young, but to stir up their own.
