SUA plans flight
A 30-day round trip flight to Europe is being planned by Student Union Activities (SUA) in addition to the 80-day flight initiated last year.
Tentatively scheduled to land in London, it was conceived with the hope of attracting summer school students unable to go on the earlier, longer trip, according to Steve Johns, Wichita junior and flight chairman.
The 30-day flight is scheduled to leave early in August and return the first or second week of September.
English Center theft nets $139
KU traffic and security office is investigating the reported loss of furniture valued at $139 from the Intensive English Center Monday night.
Officers reported that there was no visible evidence of forced entry Monday night when the divan, typing desk, and lamps were taken.
BURNED UP
DALLAS — (UPI) — Beverly Berry, 17, a candidate for "Miss Flame," had no time to deliver a speech on carelessness with matches. She had to go home where firemen were extinguishing a blaze in the garage-servants' quarters.
Departure for the 60-day flight will be about the second week of June with an early August return. Its probable destination is Paris.
The flights originate in New York.
Cost is contingent on the number of students participating. Johns anticipates a half-full load. This would make costs for the 30-day flight $336 and $305 for the 30-day flight. If the planes are filled, prices will be reduced.
Only 152 blood donations had been received from KU students as of this morning as the Douglas County Red Cross prepared to close down its fall drive in the Kansas Union.
Exams slow blood drive
Today is the last of a three-day blood drive on the campus.
Describing donations as "very slow," Joann Byers, executive director of the Douglas County Red Cross, attributed the trickle of student donors to midterm examinations now in progress across the campus.
Last year, a similar drive brought 807 student blood donations.

Last year, thousands of lawyers, bankers, accountants, engineers, doctors and businessmen went back to college.
And not just for the football games.
That idea is groundless.
We'd like to clear up what appears to be a misunderstanding. It is somewhat popular on campus to decry a business career on the grounds that you stop learning once you start working for Cliched Nuts & Bolts. That idea is groundless.
We can't speak for Cliché, but we can for ourselves-Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System. 6 out of 10 college graduates who have joined us over the past 10 years, for example, have continued their higher education.
How're these for openers:
W. E.'s Tuition Refund Plan lets employees pursue degrees while working for us. Over 6 thousand have attended schools in 41 states under this plan. We refund more than $1 million in tuition costs to employees a year.
To name another program: advanced engineering study, under the direction of Lehigh University, is conducted at our Engineering Research
Center in Princeton, N. J. Selected employees are sent there from all over the country for a year's concentrated study leading to a master's degree.
You get the idea. We're for more learning in our business. After all, Western Electric doesn't make buggy whips. We make advanced communications equipment. And the Bell telephone network will need even more sophisticated devices by the time your fifth reunion rolls around. The state of the art, never static, is where the action is.
At Western Electric, what's happening is the excitement and satisfaction of continued doing and learning. If this happens to appeal to you, no matter what degree you're aiming for, check us out. And grab a piece of the action.
