Professor Buehler Honored
Professor E. C. "Bill" Buehler of the speech faculty received the distinguished almuni award of the Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha Forensic Society at its annual meeting this week in Indianapolis, Ind.
The award was one of five made to men "whose lives and services exemplify the heritage and ideals of Delta Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha."
Professor Buehler will retire from teaching in June after 39 years on the Kansas faculty. Most of these years he was director of debate and for the past seven years he has been in charge of the basic speech course which enrolls a thousand students a semester.
Professor Buehler was elected national president of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary speech society, in 1942 and served in that office for 11 years. For 25 years he was secretary of the Missouri Valley Forensic League, which includes schools from the Canadian border to Mexico.
Chemist to Japan Meeting
A KU chemistry professor is chairman of a session and is presenting a paper at the Third International Symposium on Chemistry of Natural Products held April 12-18 at the Kyoto Kaikan in Kyoto, Japan.
Dr. Albert W. Burgstahler, associate professor and holder of an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation research fellowship, is chairman of the session on the synthesis of steroidal hormones.

More than 50 chemists from the United States are attending the symposium, which was organized by the Science Council of Japan and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
