Student can win $100 with books
An undergraduate student's book collection could win him $100 in the 12th annual Elizabeth M. Taylor Book Collection competition.
The competition, which is open to all regularly-enrolled KU undergraduates who are not previous winners, is held each year as encouragement to student collectors. First place award is $100, second place $50.
Entries, which may not include textbooks, must be owned by the student and have been collected by him. Collections entered are
normally not less than 35 nor more than 60 books.
The primary interest of the judges in the contest will be the entrant's intentions in collecting the books and his fulfillment of these intentions.
Preliminary judging will be made on the basis of the contestant's bibliography of his collection and a 400-word-or-less statement of his purpose in making the collection.
Final judging will be on the contestant's collection. The winning collection will be displayed
in Watson Library or the Kansas Union.
The bibliographies and statements must be submitted before April 1 to Terrence Williams, Watson Library acting assistant director, Marion Howey, library reference department, or Suzanne Knowlton, circulation department.
The first-place winner will be eligible to represent KU in the $1,000 Amy Loveman National Award contest, sponsored by the Book of the Month Club, the Saturday Review and the Women's National Book Association.
LEMAR plans to challenge Kansas marijuana statute
The constitutionality of the Kansas marijuana statute may be challenged later this year by an organization known as LEMAR, which stands for legalized marijuana.
"Kansas LEMAR is preparing to present a test case against the Kansas statute prohibiting the sale and possession of marijuana," said John Fowler, Lawrence businessman and acting president of the Kansas LEMAR.
The organization works toward the legalization of marijuana in the United States, Fowler said.
"We want to organize a statewide petition to bring the marijuana issue before the Kansas legislature," he said.
"We would like to see reasonable laws, which restrict consumption, sale and possession of marijuana, no more severe than present laws restrict the consumption, sale and possession of beer," Fowler said.
The main purpose of the LE-MAR chapter is to disseminate correct information about marijuana.
"We will sponsor lectures, panel discussions, and activities to bring the issues before the public," Fowler said.
Coeds throughout the nation have been invited to participate in the 14th National College Queen contest to be held this June in New York City.
Any individual or group may enter a name by sending it to Pageant Headquarters, the Waldorf-Astoria, suite 567, New York, N.Y. 10022.
Coeds to vie for Queen title
All KU coeds, from freshmen to seniors, are eligible to enter.
LEMAR groups have formed in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Buffalo, N.Y., he said.
One girl will be chosen queen out of 50 candidates—one from each state—on the basis of scholastic ability and leadership qualities.
On two campuses, the LEMAR chapters have been temporarily recognized as "campus student activities"—the State University of New York at Buffalo and the University of Boston, Fowler said.
Candidates do not appear in bathing suits, nor do they perform. In an open discussion, the girls are asked opinions on a wide range of subjects. They are judged on intelligence, general knowledge and personality.
Freshman given top 4-H award
Darell Ptacek, Wilson freshman, has been named one of four Kansas delegates to the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D.C., April 20-26.
The delegates will tour various government and historic landmarks plus meet their Kansas congressmen.
The trip, sponsored by the Kansas Bankers Association, is awarded for achievement. It is the highest 4-H award given.
The winner will receive a new automobile, a trip to Europe and a $500 wardrobe. This year's finals will be televised June 17 on NBC.
