Speaking Contest Offers $400 Prize
Some KU student will receive a $400 set of Encyclopedia Americana.
The set, now on display in the Kansas Union, will be given to the winner of the Delta Sigma Rho Public Affairs Speaking Contest.
The contest will be held at 8 p.m., May 2, in Bailey Auditorium. The preliminary contests will be held the last of April or the first of May.
Speeches should deal with some vital public issue.
"A speech used in the contest should be similar to a strong editorial in which reasoned discourse predominates," said E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and drama. Sound argumentative processes should characterize the speech." he said.
The central purpose of each speech should be to stimulate thought rather than to stir emotions. The rhetorical processes should reflect sincerity rather than ornamentation.
Rules for the contest follow:
- The speech should be approximately 10 minutes in length and not exceed 11 minutes.
- A type-written copy of the speech should be submitted on the night of the final contest. The speech should contain between 1,200 and 1,500 words.
- The name of speaker and the title of the speech must be given to Prof. Buehler in 116 Strong Hall as soon as possible.
- The speech must represent the speaker's own preparation and creative effort, although the speaker is expected to document his statements.
THE JUDGES, who will be chosen from the speech and drama faculty, will consider the total effectiveness of the speech, but will take into account the following factors: choice of subject, richness of content-coverage and supporting materials, organization, clear and appropriate language, and effectiveness of delivery.
THE WINNER last year was Frederick Kauffeld, Atchison junior.
Any KU student may enter the contest.

Student Court Provides Traffic Ticket Appeals
Many students are unaware that the University grants them the opportunity to appeal traffic tickets through the student court.
The court meets twice a month to hear appeals by students who believe the fine should not be paid.
The court follows the policy of granting appeals if the defendant can prove he was parked illegally because of an emergency or while on university business.
Ignorance of parking rules is not substantial reason to appeal a ticket, however.
THE STUDENT COURT consists of a chief justice and six justices. Three justices sit at the bench during each session. Defenses and prosecuting attorneys are also present.
CLIP AND FILE
- Fill out a form stating the exact violation and the circumstances.
- Take the ticket to the Parking and Traffic Office in Hoch Auditorium within ten days.
