JSCC to hold 'lime bag' rally
Sometimes it uses a printed list of instructions. Psychedelic signs left along the roadway could be used for the same purpose. But Friday night the Jayhawk Sports Car Club (JSCC) will rally with bags of lime used to mark the course.
"Hound Around Town," as Friday's motorized scavenger hunt is named, is known as a "lime bag" rally or a "hare and hounds" rally.
Before the event begins at 7:30 p.m. at The Malls shopping
center, 23rd and Louisiana, the rallymaster, Mike Gunther, Kansas City, Mo., junior, will drop the bags along the route while measuring the length of the course.
The rallyists' problem is to follow these markers and calculate the course length.
The catch? The markers are placed at intersections. The rallyists have the choice of turning right, left, or going straight. But if they don't come across another marker bag of lime within
The excess mileage is subtracted from the totals. According to Jim Basel, Overland Park junior and assistant rallymaster, computing the totals can become complicated if the rallyists have made many wrong turns.
KU Elizabethan specialist describes bard's first folio
Charlton Hinman, professor of English, presented the lecture, sponsored by the English department, to an audience of about 20 students and faculty members.
Hinman spent about four years collecting data from 80 original Shakespearean texts and has recently published his two-volume study of the "First Folio of Shakespeare."
A specialist in Elizabethan drama, discussed the art of compiling a first folio of Shakespeare Wednesday in Watson Library.
approximately half a mile chances are he has made the wrong choice.
For Friday just a clipboard, pencil and flashlight will be needed.
A folio is a large book in which the pages are folded once and then set in printed form. The average size of a folio page is 12 inches in length and seven inches in width.
Hinman eliminated a third of the 80 original Shakespearean texts on surface inspection at the
Correction
Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.
The International Club president was incorrectly identified in a Daily Kansan story Wednesday as abdul Said, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia senior.
Five first folio editions of Shakespeare have been produced in the 20th century, Hinman said. Even the most accurate and readable text has numerous imperfections, such as dust spots, ink smudges and worm holes, Hinman said.
The president is Said Adra,
Beirut, Lebanon, junior.
Hinman accumulated the data for his two-volume facsimile with the aid of the collator he invented. The collator is a machine designed to aid the operator in seeing discrepancies in two seemingly identical original texts.
The machine makes it possible to superimpose two pages. Then an oscillating device in the machine causes blinking lights to move in a rapid sequence, calling attention to discrepancies in view.
"If you did this the old way, it would take at least 50 years, and you'd probably go blind several times," Hinman said. Hinman said his own facsimile of the first folio of Shakespeare is not perfect, but all the text is readable. Included in his text is an appendix listing imperfections.
Even with the use of 30 of the most perfect first folios, Hinman said, he could not compile a text exempt from faults in printing.
The rally is not limited to sports cars or JSCC members. One member, the owner of a Model A Ford participated in an earlier rally and although he did not win, the antique car showed it had guts by pulling out younger generation autos, which had become entrenched in mud. The course ran through rain-soaked dirt roads near Pomona.
Basel said women are definitely not discriminated against, and in fact, are encouraged to participate. A distaff driver won the "Artic Circle" rally in January.
The Club sponsors the rallies which are usually held on Sunday afternoons about once a month.
The "Gimmicks" of each rally vary from straight time and distance calculations to answering questions—What is the population of a certain town? Many times a certain average speed has to be maintained or exact mileage has to be recorded.
A rally last September involved 93 turns through the streets of Lawrence. The markers were printed in a type of psychedelic script, not lending itself to easy reading.
Trophies are given to winners.
Friday's rally is expected to last about three hours, but may vary according to the conditions. Registration will begin at the Malls at 7 p.m. Registration fees of $2 for members, and $2.50 for non-members will be collected.
The annual KU School of Engineering Exposition will begin with opening ceremonies at 2 p.m. Friday in Learned Hall.
Ceremonies will include speeches by Lawrence Mayor Richard Raney and William P. Smith, dean of the School of Engineering. Connie Mason, Arkansas City sophomore and 1968 Engineering Queen, also will attend the opening.
The Exposition will have 10 student exhibits and four departmental and industrial exhibits for public display from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Awards for the three best student displays, the best overall exhibit, the outstanding senior in the School of Engineering and the outstanding undergraduate professor will be presented at an awards banquet at 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union.
KU student wins $500 scholarship
The Newspaper Fund, Inc. has awarded a $500 scholarship and participation in the Newspaper Fund's first summer editing internship program to Linda Sleffel, Norton senior.
She will be awarded the scholarship in September after completing an intensive editing course and eight to ten weeks as a beginning copy editor on a daily newspaper.
The 30 students from 29 colleges which were selected for this experiment will attend an editing course at Temple University or the University of Nebraska in June.

Most men only worry about suits, shirts and ties. They buy from the top down. So by the time they get to the bottom, their feet are just an afterthought. And the shoes they buy look like afterthoughts. If you buy a pair of Nunn-Bush shoes, you can start with your feet. Because you won't have to worry about them not matching the suit you haven't bought yet. They're styled so you won't haveto changeshoeseverytime you change suits. And that can save you a lot of change.
