IOWA STATE
Ames to fete
Danish royal
party in April
With true deference to royalty,
Iowa State will play host April 21
to Crown Prince Frederik and
Crown Princess Ingrid of Den
mark and Iceland. The royal
party of 8 will be feted at a
luncheon in Great Hall during
their two hour stay in Ames.
President and Mrs. Charles E. Fri
ley will be personal hosts to the
party for the duration of their
Visit.
Crown Prince Frederik and
Crown Princess Ingrid have in
cluded the slop at Ames on their
schedule because of the reputation
Iowa State has in its field even in
foreign countries, and because nu
merous professors in the Royal
College of Copenhagen have taken
work here and have appeared as
lecturers on the campus, according
to Dr. M. Mortensen, profesor of
dairy industry and head of the
committee in charge of arrange
ments. Iowa State draws many.
Also an Inducement to the royal
pair was the fact that more Dan
ish born young men have attended
Iowa State than have been en
rolled in any other college in the
United States, stated Dr. Moi ten
ten. The party will travel by auto
caravan from Des Moines to Ames
Friday morning, here to be greeted
by military recognition. Dr. and
Mrs. Friley will welcome the royal
guests at the Memorial Union and
will conduct them into Great Hall
for the luncheon.
The luncheon will be invitation
al, with a special section being
reserved for Scandinavian teachers
and their wives. Each organized
residence group on the campus
will he privileged to send one rep
resentative to the luncheon, also,
so that the student body may be
a participant in the festivities.
In answer to a special request,
50 members of the Iowa Academy
of Science, which is holding its
luncheon during the same period,
will be permitted to attend the
royal banquet. Doors into Great
Hall will be closed at 11:20 so
that all present are in place be
fore the entrance of the crown
j i ince and princess.

Athletic scholarships again big question
The fly in the ointment for many
a college administration has been
its inability to adopt a satisfactory
plan for handling athletic scholar
ships. Two weeks ago our own ad
ministration was made further
aware of the importance of an air
tight solution to this problem,
when sophomore members of the
football squad lodged complaints
with Cach Kern concerning their
work assignments. However, the
importance of this lies not so much
in the complaints as in the manner
in which they were handled. The
reason for the lack of commotion
and excitement over this incident
certainly deserve consideration.
In the three years since Presi
dent Doherty has headed the ad
ministration, most of us have been
conscious of a change in the ath
letic set-up, but only a few un
derstand these changes effected
by what the newspapers call the
"Doherty Plan." A month ago at

Annual adds new
section, 'Krono'
When a Beaver staff member
says, "Krono," it may sound like
Greek to an outsider, but to them
it means the new chronological
section that will cover one-third
of this year's Beaver. This section,
a decided departure from previous
Beaver editorial policy, takes the
Oregon State year from Apnl 25,
1938, to April 25, 1939, and re
lates all the happenings during
that period in a logical sequence
that will enab'e Beaver buyers to
follow the events of the year aa
they occurred.
One hundred and twenty-eight
pages of the total 424 pages of the
Volume XXXIII Beaver will be de
voted exclusively to this featured
section. "Krono" was conceive !
with the idea of bringing to tho
students copy and pictures of a
type which is to be more informal
and designed to be more interest
ing reading. Of this section, 70
percent will be pictures ana M
percent descriptive copy.
To make this section possible, it
was necessary lor tne weaver 10
enlarge its staff of student pho
tographers and to purchase it
"own Speed Graphic camera. Each
event on the campus from lyceum
programs to class meetings and
rallies was covered by a Beaver
photographer whose job it was to
bring back the best representative
picture of that occasion. Candid
pictures in this section were care
fully edited to maintain sufficient
size so that student faces will be
easily recognized.

things just don't exist any more.

unanimously in favor of laying

Casualties were numerous this
week when the descending deluge
transformed unpaved wall:s into
mutinous mud holes. The bank
between Whitehurst and the Life

upsetting more equilibrium than
any other danger hpots. Ruth Bar

that sea of mud wasn't what It
was poured to be.

in the Life Sciences building, de

writers and again to a Tartan
reporter last week, President
Doherty gave an outline of this
plan.
First the president made it clear
that the administration, with only
one temporary exception mention
ed later, will not provide any
money for athletic scholarships.
The question of financing athletic
scholarships h;n been placed
squarely in the hands of the alum
ni and the school will have as
good a team as the alumni can
provide scholarships for, and find
good students to whom they may
be awarded. Before anyone can re

it must be deposited with the con

Union board may

The university regents may al
low the Texas Union board of di
rectors to appropriate approxi
mately 510,000 of its endowment
fund to help build a band hall for
the Longhorn band, the Texan
learned yesterday from unofficial
but authoritative sources.
If the regents approve the re
quest of the Union board, part of
the band hall will be an under
ground addition to the Union. The
main practice hall will be an ex

the offices, storage space, and

main building. Daily Texan.

The usual story was reversed
Saturday Theta Sigma Phi
pledges were demoted from editors
to newsboy.'!. Friday night the
pledges edited the Texan as part
of their informal initiation. Satur
day morning the girls, dressed as
newsboys, sold their papers on the
campus and in class.
Olivette Osterwalder proved her
self to be the most successful
"newsboy" by selling the most pa
pers, 20. Virginia Moore was sec

rived at Carnegie, the Atletic as
sociation handled the school's
teams, and on funds received from
the students' activity fees and the
gate receipts from the games, it
financed scholarships for desira
ble players. However, since then,
the Athletic association has been
dissolved and the situation is much
changed.
Altho the school is still stand
ing behind the arrangements the
Athleic association made with the
piesenf junior and senior squad
members, it is no longer support
ing the sophomore and freshmen
classes. Scholarships in these two
classes are being paid for entirely
by" the alumni, who within two
years will bear the entire burden
of athletic scholarships.
So far the amount of alumni
contributions, raised thru the Stef
fen memorial scholarship commit
tee, has not been sufficient having
provided only 22 partial scholar
ships for athletes during the past
year. Whether this will continue
in the future is a matter for spec
ulation. However, more than funds
are necessary before the school
will accept t' students.
Other requirements are (1) the
candidates be approved by a fac
ulty committee (2) the individual
amounts of the scholarships
awarded be within the range of
amounts of other scholarships at
Carnegie, (3) the awards be for
one year at a time and given only
upon formal application, (4) the
total value received from all
sources, including self helf earn
ings received in any one year by
any member of the squad be not
greater than the reasonable total

Frazier's exhibit
attracts interest
Six pieces of sculpture by Ber
nard "Poco" Frazier, painter
sculptor at the university, are at
tracting much interest and atten
tion at the annual exhibition of the
Nebraska Art association which
opened in Lincoln, Neb., on March
5. Frazier is the only Kansan
among the sculptors whose work Is
being shown in Lincoln this year.
The pieces of Frazier's work on
exhibition are entitled: "The
Hawk." "Rebecca," "Supplication,"
"White Stallions," "Mare Colt,"
and 'Peace." Of these 'Mare Colt"
is Mr. Frazier's favorite, and of
this work he says, "I believe that
colts begin as true descendants of
thoir wild ancestors and not as
wobbly dependents on man. As I
modelled the "Mare Colt" her mus
tang blood showed, for she kicked
me three times before I learned
to keep my distance."
Frazier was given a special in
vitation by the Art association to
exhibit his works in their annual
show which represents the work of
the best contemporary American
painters and sculptors. Frazier is
the only Kansan among the sculp
tors whose work is shown in Lin
coln this year.
Dressed in his working costume
which included the proverbial blue
smock, but looking like anything
but the proverbial "esthet," he
captivated his audience by model
ling a spirited looking horse, giv
ing, at the same time, an Informa
tive talk on sculpture. While his
hands skillfully modelled the fam
iliar clay, he told his hearers in a
simple, interesting way, how the
different form of sculpture are. In
terspersing his remarks with flash
es of humor which delighted his
listeners.
Other artists who are represent
ed at the Nebraska exhibit are:
George Gross, Morris Kantor,,
Maurice Utrillo, Walt Kul.n. Alex
ander Brook, John Stewart 'Curry
and many others equally well
known. Daily Kansan.

'40 Olympics
could disturb
world feeling
Brutus Hamilton, varsity track
coach and trainer of eight past
Olympic participants, yesterday
warned that the 1940 Olympic
games could "very readily result
in serious international incidents."
Hamilton made his statement
after viewing the present interna
tionnl chaos in Europe, and the
important part that athletics play
in international good will.
"There's no clanger of trouble
originating from the athletes
themselves," Hamilton said. "The
main difficulty would come from
situations created by the specta
tors or the press."
Games endangered.
He also said that if the 1910
games were called off for any rea
son, or if complications arose
from next year's competition, fu
ture Olympic games could not be
held.
"For this reason, and because
Finland is far enough away from
the center of present European
complications. I don't consider it
feasible to call off the games en
tirely," he said.
"Athletes must be instructed
prior to the games," Hamilton
continued, "to use the utmost dis
cretion while away from the
United States."
Defeat purpose.
Any incidents which did result
would defeat the purpose of the
games that of international good
will, according to the Bear coach.
He also intimated that the fas
cist nations place more emphasis
on winning than on entering for
the sport, which also tends to de
stroy the spirit of the games. Ger
man and Italian athletes are
trained in the army for particip'",
tion in the Olympic sports.
Dink Templcton, Stanford uni
versity track coach, disagreed
with Hamilton and maintained
that any incidents, such as the re
fusal of the United States in 1908
to dip their flag to the king of
England, would be overlooked by
the nations and there would be no
trouble.
Templeton agreed with Hamil
ton, however, in the statement
that if any trouble arose, it would
result ii the discontinuance of fu
ture Pjinpic games.
