Tau Beta Pi's made their own honor key
Since Phi Beta Kappa would not give them a key, the engineers decided to make their own. So on June 15, 1885, at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., the engineers formed their own society for the "brainy" ones, called it Tau Beta Pi and made their own key.
But still the engineers are not satisfied.
"Our biggest gripe is that everybody knows Phi Beta Kappa, but still we are not well known, although we are just as good and as selective. Therefore we should
have just as much prestige," said Mike Shionyo, Mountain Home, Ark, senior, and publicity chairman of KU's Tau Beta Pi chapter.
STANTON, Del. — (UPI) -The enclosed mezzanine level of Delaware Park's grandstand is cooled by air conditioning equipment with a 1,000-ton capacity, enough for 350 homes.
GENERALS, PRESIDENTS and vice-presidents of corporations, university presidents, U.S. astronauts are included among the members of Tau Beta Pi.
COOLING IT
Shonyo said, "Our keys are called 'Bents' because the center section of the key is a replica of a bent, the part of a railway trestle that supports the load."
There are 48 KU members of the honorary society, with Sherman Stimley, Jackson, Miss., senior, as this year's president.
AWS to sponsor visitation plan for high schools in three states
Juniors in engineering with a 2. grade average and "exemplary character with a willingness to devote time and effort to worthwhile causes," are eligible for membership, Shonyo said.
During Christmas vacation 30 KU women will return to their high schools to acquaint prospective freshmen with the opportunities and advantages of KU.
The women, ambassadors of Associated Women Students (AWS) high school visitation program, will go to schools in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.
The committee wrote to high schools in the three-state area earlier this semester to determine those interested in participating. The schools then recommended graduates to serve as ambassadors.
FIRST FRENCH BOXER
Orientation will be primarily directed at senior girls, said Jeanie Shepherd, Kansas City junior and committee chairman.
NEW YORK - (UPI) The first Frenchman to engage in a boxing bout was Petit, a giant who was stopped by Jack Slack on July 8, 1751, in the first international fight on record.
The program is being co-ordinated by the high school relations committee in conjunction with the office of admissions.
gram is the first organized visitation attempted. A similar one is planned for January and will involve 30 different schools.

"Let's unplug the computer, boys! Start thinking!"
Well, a funny thing is going to happen on the way to the future:
You're going to have to think harder and longer than ever.
A lot of people believe that someday computers will do all their thinking for them.
Computers can't dream up things like Picturepnone service, Telstar $ ^{\textcircled{8}} $ satellite,and some of the other advances in communications we have made. Of course,we depended on computers to solve some of the problems connected with their development. But computers need absolutely clear and thorough instructions,which means a new and tougher discipline on the human intelligence.
And it will take more than a computer to create a pocket phone the size of a matchbook, let's say... or find
a practical way to lock a door or turn off an oven by remote telephone control, or to make possible some of the other things we'll have someday.
It takes individuals...perhaps you could be one...launching new ideas,proposing innovations and dreaming dreams.
And someday, we're going to have to find a way to dial locations in space.
Makes you think.
