Summer Session Kansan Tuesday, June 12, 1962
GIRLS STATE—About 20 Girls Staters and Fraser Hall reach a compromise on seating arrangements. The girls, seated on the third floor stairway, are in the process of nominating and electing officials. Fraser Hall is in the process of trying to prove that it can still handle a crowd, even though it may not be in rooms.
Pozdro Wins $1000 Award
Dr. John W. Pozdro, associate professor of music theory, is the 1962 recipient of the H. Bernerd Fink Award for Excellence in Classroom Teaching at the University of Kansas.
Announcement of the $1,000 award, provided annually by Mr. Fink, an alumnus and president of the C-G-F Grain Company in Topeka, was made by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe during his report on the state of the University at the Alumni-Commencement supper.
Dr. Pozdro was chosen by a secret committee of the University staff. Nominations had been solicited from faculty, students and recent KU graduates.
Dr. Pozdro is chairman of the department of organ and the theory of music, director of KU's annual Symposium of Contemporary American Music, and a composer of growing fame. However, the Fink award was made to him solely on the basis of his dedicated and effective service to his students.
A KU teacher since 1950. Dr. Pozdro holds bachelor and master of music degrees from Northwestern University and the Ph.D. degree from the Eastman School in Rochester, N. Y. He taught one year at Iowa State Teachers College before coming to Kansas. He is a native of Chicago and during World War II served four years in the Army counter-intelligence service.
Fifth World Crisis Discussion Thursday
The World Crisis discussion group will hold their fifth meeting of the year at 8 p.m. Thursday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Roy Laird, assistant professor of political science, will speak on the "Role and Leadership of the Communist Party in the U.S.S.R."
Research Grant To VanderWerf
Dr. Calvin A. VanderWerf, chairman of the department of chemistry at the University of Kansas, has received a $5,000 contract renewal from the American Petroleum Institute for fundamental studies of the chemistry of nitrogen compounds occurring in petroleum.
Beginning its eighth year next month, the study is concerned with the origin of nitrogen compounds in petroleum. The research is also concerned with utilizing or converting the compounds, which are considered harmful in petroleum, into useful products.
Dr. VanderWerf's research assistants will be Nathan Lerner, Youngstown, Ohio, and Victor L. Heasley, Dorr, Mich., both graduate students.
An article on Dr. VanderWerf's studies is published in the Jan. 5, 1962, issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Carruth-O'Leary Residents Aroused While Sleeping
By Karl Koch
The University of Kansas, of course, wants to do everything in its power to keep the Girls Staters happy.
The girls are the leaders of their high schools and deserve the best of treatment.
A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you and I)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair
But the fool he called her his lady
(We called her the woman who did not care)
(Even as you and I)
(Even as you and I)
—Rudyard Kipling
Then came the cry: "We're from Kiowa! We're from Kiowa! Good morning, boys. Good morning, boys!" The phrases were rendered, of course, in the loud, raucous tradition of high school girls.
At 6:30 yesterday morning, 400 girls trooped by the dormitory. One hundred men soundly slept.
CHANCES ARE, they'll get it from the University as a whole, but about 100 residents of Carruth-O'Leary men's dormitory might be hesitant.
THE DORMITORY residents prayed for quiet, and as soon as the Kiowa delegation passed, the noise came down to a loud mumbling.
A few minutes later, the dormitory residents arose, undoubtedly feeling just a little less friendly towards the Girls Staters.
