AMONG HIS SOUVENIRS—Carlyle S. Smith, associate professor of anthropology, shows some souvenirs of his archeological expedition to the southwestern Pacific Ocean. He made the trip in 1955.
KU Professor Discovers Easter Island Earrings
Carlyle S. Smith, associate professor of anthropology, is the first person to find century-old Easter Island spools which natives wore in holes of the ear lobe.
They are made of polished shell and were about the size of a nickel.
He made the find during an archeological expedition to the southeastern Pacific Ocean in 1955. He said the spools have been mentioned in descriptions of the Easter Island natives of 100 to 200 years ago, but no others were found because most spools were made of wood.
10-Month Expedition
The expedition, led by author Thor Heyerdahl, lasted 10 months and covered almost 13,000 miles. Mr. Heyerdahl has written a book, "Aku-Aku," about the expedition. The title is an Easter Island word meaning guardian spirit.
The book is a narrative with names and descriptions of finds.
"Aku-Aku" is being published in Norwegian this month. An English language edition is scheduled for early in 1958.
While Prof. Smith is writing his section, Rupert I. Murrill, assistant professor of sociology, is studying and writing about human skeletons found on the expedition by Prof. Smith and William Mulloy, professor of anthropology at the University of Wyoming. Prof. Murrill's descriptions will be published in the same book as Prof. Smith's.
Prof. Smith is now writing his contribution to a second book, which will present and interpret data gathered by the expedition. It is to be published by the Museum of New Mexico at Santa Fe.
Smith Was 1 of 4
Prof. Smith was one of four archeologists making the trip with Mr. Heyerdahl. The others were, Prof. Mulloy, Edwin Ferdon, acting director of the Museum of International Folk Art at Sant Fe, N.M., and Arne Skijolsvold, director of the Museum of Hunting and Fishing at Elverum, Norway.
Stouffer Place Open House
A public open house in Stouffer Place, the new 120-unit married student apartment project, will be held Sunday afternoon.
"Because all the apartments have the same basic furnishings and there are only the 1- and 2-bedroom plans, no one will want to visit more than a few."
Several apartments in Buildings 1, 2, 3 and 9 will be open from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Guides will be present. Off street parking will be available in the area south of 19th Street, across from Stouffer Place.
"We hope all those interested will be present at this open house," Dean J. H. Nelson of the Graduate School, who is chairman for the formal opening said.
Because there are no public areas in Stouffer Place, a private ceremony will be held earlier in the Memorial Union honoring Dean Emeritus E. B. Stouffer, for whom the project is named, and Mrs. Stouffer. Representatives of the Board of Regents, KU officials and several friends of the Stouffers will be present. The group will view the apartments just before the open house.
Mr. Heyerdahl is one of the six men who made the voyage from Peru to Polynesia in 1947 on the raft Kon Tiki.

The members of the field staff send in reports describing and analyzing important developments in their areas of study. Every 18 months they come to the U.S. to report in person to the 11 member schools.
Dr. Francis H. Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the idea for such an organization was first developed here at KU in 1949.
Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, chancellor of the University, is chairman of the Board of Trustees of AUFS.
Four of the 12 full-time staff members of the American Universities Field Staff will be at KU during this academic year, each for about 10 days. While here they will meet with classes and organizations and discuss their observations made in the field.
These men live and study at potential world trouble spots under sponsorship of the AUFS of which KU is a member.
Deane W. Malott, then chancellor, invited Phillips Talbot, then an officer of the Institute of Current World Affairs, to KU to speak at an all-University convocation.

Kent Pelz, Des Plaine, Ill. senior and chairman of the KU Young Republicans Club, said that it was chosen second on the basis of a report which he compiled last spring. The report included newspaper clippings on club activities and details of its activities for the past two years.
Young Republicans Club Ranked No.2 In Nation
"Another factor was that we are the second largest club in the country, with a membership of about 800 students," he said.
He said that KU's part in the kick-off rally for state Republican candidates in the fall of 1956 and its participation in the rally for Richard Nixon in Kansas City, Kan., last fall were two of the reasons for the selection.
The KU Young Republicans Club was chosen the second most outstanding collegiate club in the United States this summer. The award is made every two years by the Young Republicans college club awards committee.
Outstanding Republicans to speak to the group this fall are Atty, Gen. John Anderson, Sen. Andrew Schoepel, and Sen. Frank Carlson.
Debaters To Hear Law Teacher
Dan Hopson, assistant professor of law, will talk to the KU debate squad on the college debate question at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in 134.Strong.
The question is "Resolved: That the requirements of membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment should be illegal."
Tryouts for the debate squad will be held at the meeting.
JC Credit OK'd In Some Cases
The KU Senate has authorized exceptions to the long standing rule that no student can receive credit for work done in a junior college after he has completed the equivalent of the first two years of study in any curriculum.
The all-university governing body, made up of senior faculty, Tuesday authorized deans to handle the problem in meritorious cases.
The dean may authorize in advance enrollment, not to exceed eight hours, in junior college courses which are the equivalent of KU freshman - sophomore courses.
The rule that "not more than the equivalent of the first two years of work in any curriculum may be transferred as advanced standing credit from a junior college;" remains unchanged.
Charles B. Realey, professor of history, is the new secretary of the Senate and William R. Scott, associate professor of law, was elected associate secretary.
