'Mid-East war unifies Arabs'
A graduate student from Saudia Arabia says one repercussion of the Arab-Iraeli war is the unification of "the whole Arab world."
Abudl Said of Ryadh explained unification of the Arabs is important since the war was a struggle for survival.
"The war has allowed the Arabs to realize that no matter how things may be, we have to depend on ourselves.
"It has permitted a wave of criticism and the Arabs are realizing their defects and trying to understand what this is all about," he said.
Clash of cultures
Said traveled throughout the Arab world this summer.
"The heart of the problem," he said, "is a clash of cultures, different ways of life. We're both strangers to each other."
The whole war, Said said, has changed spectrums.
"The phase has changed from a Palestine problem to an Arab-Israeli problem."
Parts of Jordan, Syria and Egypt have been taken by Israel
which Said believes are part of sovereign Arab states.
Said said he has "few doubts peace can be obtained by waging war, and actually we want peace, but that doesn't mean we are going to surrender our lands."
While waiting for a "just peace," he said, the Arabs are preparing to defend themselves.
Lands and heritage
"it's not just some people involved but our lands and our heritage," he said.
"There is a determination on the part of the 100 million Arabs to fight for their lands, and they realize the ultimate solution might be war."
Said added, the west bank of Jordan is the agricultural area and Jordan now cannot support the refugees.
Although 34,000 refugees have returned to their homes, Said said, Jordan still has more than 175,000 people in Israel.
"The war hasn't really stopped and won't until one side gives up politically and socially because we are such strangers to each other in our way of life."
'Penthouse' formed in hall
Eighty sophomores said they did not want to be isolated from KU, so they moved to the 10th floor of Oliver Hall, nicknamed "the Penthouse."
To the girls it makes sense, although they decided they would have to send letters to other campus organizations to explain the presence of 80 sophomores in a freshman dorm.
"We were all together in Centennial College last year," Janice Clark, Penthouse president from Independence, Mo., said. "We know each other's majors and we
have the common experience of Centennial College."
The girls plan to make their high-level dwelling as much of a home as possible. They have chipped in to buy magazine subscriptions for the floor and want to buy new ash-trays.
The art majors in the group will hang their own works in the floor lobby, which the girls plan to make into a college version of a living room.
Mrs. Kala Stroup, Oliver College director, said no problems should arise from the situation.
Israel; traveler reflects
While Americans were reading about the effects of the war in the Middle East the past summer, Dorothy Willner, professor of anthropology, traveled in Israel.
Miss Willner, who had worked in Israel from 1954 to 1958, returned to view what had happened after the six-day war.
"I wanted to see what further developments had taken place, if there had been any transformation," she explained.
Striking differences She found the most startling difference in Jerusalem.
Striking differences
The city of Jerusalem, once split, became what Miss Willner termed an organic whole—an integrated city populated by both Arabs and Jews.
"One of the things I noticed while walking down a familiar street in New Jerusalem," she said, "were the Arabs on the street, perfectly at home.
"When I walked in the Old City, the people were very friendly and willing to help me if I was lost."
Miss Willner said the Arabs in the Old City of Jerusalem had been granted all the rights like Israeli citizens.
Respect the conquered "The Israeli's are conquerers who are respecting the rights of citizens of Israel," she said.
Although all weapons and ammunition had to be surrendered, Miss Willner said, the people were not harmed in any way.
Don't laugh at Charles Van der Hoff's big ears. He can hear a party a mile away, thanks to Sprite.
Social-life majors, take a look at Charles Van der Hoff. He can't play the guitar. Never directed an underground
movie. And then look at his ears! A bit much? Yes! But--Charles Van der Hoff can hear a bottle of tart, tingling Sprite being opened in the girls' dormitory from across the campus!
What does it matter, you say?
Hah! Do you realize that Charles Van der Hoff has never missed a party in four years?
When he hears those bottles
of Sprite being uncapped--the roars--the fizzes--the bubbles--he runs! So before you can say anti-existentialism, he's getting in on that tart, tingling, slightly tickling taste of Sprite. And delicious refreshment --as well as a good time--is his
Of course, you don't have to have ears as big as Charles Van der Hoff's to enjoy the swinging taste of Sprite. You may just have to resign yourself to a little less social life.
SPRITE, SO TART AND TINGLING, WE JUST COULD'T KEEP IT QUIET.
