Congo's Gizenga Held for Deaths
University Daily Kansan
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo — (UFI) — Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula said today he had received reports that 11 white missionaries and seven African Roman Catholic nuns had been massacred by troops loyal to Stanleyville strongman Antojine Gizene.
Adoula also announced that he had fired Gizenga as vice premier of the Central Congo government.
Gizenga was captured yesterday at Stanleyville, capital of Oriental Province and center of his power, by Central Congolese and United Nations' troops after a weekend of fighting. He is now being held there.
Adoula said a judicial investigation has begun into Gizenga's activities. He was seized after he defied a demand by the Congolese Parliament for him to return to Leopoldville to answer charges of "secessionist activities."
Adoula said he had reports that troops led by Col. Joseph Pakassa, Gizenga's cousin, had massacred 11 white missionaries and seven African Roman Catholic nuns.
ADOULA SAID that a decree ending Gizenga's term as vice premier would be signed at "any moment now" by Congolese President Joseph Kasayubu.
But the premier denied rumors that pro-Gizenga troops, led by Pakassa, were marching on Stanleyville to free Gizenga.
Informed sources here said earlier today that secret charges had been filed against Gizenga. Diplomatic sources said the investigation likely would center around the deaths of several of Gizenga's political opponents shortly after former Premier Patrice Lumumba was killed in Katanga 11 months ago.
Adoula indicated Gizenga might also be charged with the deaths of Congolese soldiers killed in the weekend fighting at Stanleyville.
"He is personally responsible for the deaths of this past weekend and an attempt to remove him (to Leopoldville) before the end of the inquiry could lead to riots among the population." Adoula added.

Steel Strike Causes Delay In Move to Field House
William M. Inge, college '35, won the Pulitzer prize in 1953 for "Picnic." Other of his Broadway plays are "Come Back, Little Sheba," "Bus Stop," and "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs."
The 1950s finally saw Kansas basketball teams moving from the cramped quarters of the famous opera house — Hoch Auditorium — to the spacious confines of Allen Field House—but not before players and fans were forced to cool their heels for an additional two years because of the steel strike in 1953.

Simons Recalls KU of '20s
The memories of KU in the Twenties are happy memories, many of them centered around the old Journalism Building and innumerable glorious hours both in and out of classrooms...
College newspaper training provides a valuable service not only in preparing young people to be better newspaper workers but also in causing students generally to be more aware of the important role of the newspaper in society. It is desirable for young student journalists, early in their training, to recognize the primary purposes of a newspaper and the serious responsibilities of those who are entrusted with conducting a free press.
The editor should never regard his newspaper as a personal plaything because the newspaper primarily is a public service loaded with the responsibility of properly and honestly reporting and interpreting the news of the day. The people have the right to know the truth; not just a distorted report a clever editor may want them to see...
If the journalism faculty today is developing a feeling of respect and appreciation from students, and if graduates have the skill, and a serious and sound evaluation of their responsibilities and opportunities, college journalism is serving a good and worthy purpose.
Congratulations to the Kansan on 50 good and rewarding years, and best wishes for continued success.
