Fund to Honor Professor Dade
A memorial fund has been established in the name of Emil B. Dade, a member of the faculty for 42 years, by his friends and former students according to Irvin E. Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Association.
Income from the Emil B. Dade Memorial Fund, which now totals $1,500, will be used to give an annual award in the School of Businesss.
In 1932 Prof. Dade, an authority in the field of statistics and insurance, collaborated in preparing the Kansas Business Index, the first indices of business activity in the state. He had a major part in developing plans for reorganization of the group insurance program for the University faculty.
Prof. Dade joined the Business School faculty after he was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the class of 1921. In 1925 he completed the requirements for his graduate degree while working as an instructor.
After further study in statistics and mathematics at the University of Michigan, he was a professor at KU from 1928 until his death in Lawrence on November 8, 1963.
which will perform in Hutchinson and the price to be charged for the activities of the trip.
"We are presently contacting agencies regarding groups such as the Brothers Four, Joe and and Eddy, the Journeymen and the Kingston Trio." Cook said today. "It will depend on who is available and in the area, also their price.
The senior activities will begin about 2:30 p.m. on May 2 with buses picking up students from the large residence halls and all other students from Zone O where they will park their cars. Depending on the number purchasing tickets to attend, Santa Fe lines will furnish one or two special trains. Soft drinks will be served in lounge cars, and dancing to juke boxes in baggage cars on the trip down.
THE TRAINS will unload about three blocks from the Hutchinson Sports Arena where J. C. Dillions will cater a buffet supper and the folk singers will entertain. KU students will be joined by Hutchinson townspeople and students from the area for the concert.
Around 9:30 p.m. the trains will reload for the trip back to Lawrence. The trains will arrive at the Santa Fe station here in time for University closing, according to Cook.
The price of the entire day will be lower for seniors with a senior ID card.
Other senior activities for the remainder of the semester include a party at the Big Barn, March 13, and a senior coffee in April to vote on the Hope award for the outstanding faculty member and the class gift. Procedures for commencement will be explained at that time Richard Wintermote. Alumni Association secretary and senior class advisor, said.
Professor Heider Has Work Published
'Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater Opens in Children's Theater
Dr. Fritz Heider, professor of psychology at KU, made one of the four major contributions to the book, "Psychological Issues," published by the International Universities Press and as a February selection of the Library of Science.
The book is an analysis of psychiatry by the application of the standard rules of science.
Heider's section of the book is "On Perception, Event Structure, and Psychological Environment."
Heider is recognized as an international authority on interpersonal relations. He last year received one of the four original appointments as a University distinguished professor when the Board of Regents authorized this recognition of merit by a salary raise and special title.
Last year, Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student, and Nancy Marcy, Scott City senior, played the leading roles in a KU Children's Theatre production which eventually led to their marriage during the Christmas holidays.
Repeating history, the Castons are starring in the KU Children's Theatre production of "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Easter," Feb. 27-29.
The couple will play the principal roles of Peter and his wife Ellen in the story of a boy who seeks independence from his domineering family. Based on a familiar nursery rhyme, playwright Mertha Bennett has converted it into a delightful folk tale.
Performances on Thursday and Friday are at 4:30 p.m., and Saturday at 2 p.m. in the University Theatre.
Other members of the cast include, Patricia Melody, Miami, Okla., junior; Priscilla Scheldt, Wichita junior; Theora Weddingfeld, Norfolk, Neb., junior; Brenda Currin, Olathe freshman; Michael Willard, Fort Scott freshman; and Sandy Kemp, Hill City freshman.
Jed Davis, associate professor of speech and drama, is director.
