Sigma Nu First In Campus Chest
Donations to Campus Chest over the weekend brought the total receipts to approximately $1,800. Charles Hess, Kansas City junior and Campus Chest committee chairman, said today.
HOWEVER, LAST year's drive made an additional $800 from the Dave Brubeck concert, while the committee broke even on this year's concert by the Dukes of Dixieland after a $500 reserve fund was used.
Kappa Sigma fraternity regained the lead in the fraternity division with an additional donation of $77-15, making a total donation of $158. In the sorority division, Delta Gamma's additional contribution pushed the total above $100.
Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, with 15 members, donated $22.10, for an average of nearly $1.50, and Delta Chi fraternity donated $59.26, which also is above $1 each.
He said a total will be announced by Wednesday, although all donations from the telephone marathons will not be included. The marathons are expected to continue until Christmas vacation begins Dec. 19.
Although the drive officially ended Saturday, solicitors in several houses have not yet turned in their donations, Hess said, and some Kansas Union Book Store rebate slips have not been totaled.
Hess said although the drive fell short of the $5,000 hoped for by the committee, the total contributions will be higher than in last year's drive, when $1,500 was collected by solicitors.
Other weekend contributions included Delta Tau Delta, $41; Alpha Kappa Lambda, $50; Delta Upsilon, $26.50; Sigma Kappa, $4.28; Sellars Hall, $3.62; Joseph R. Pearson Hall fifth floor, $6.25; Panhellenic Council, $50; Corbin, second floor north, $22.17; Corbin fifth floor north, $17.36; Gertrude Sellars Pearson, fourth floor west, $10.25 and an undetermined amount of rebate slips; GSP fourth floor east, $19; GSP first floor west, $1; GSP second floor west, $23 and rebate slips, and Foster Hall, $10.64.
Others were:
Corbin, third floor south, $5.19; Corbin seventh floor north, $16; GSP third floor east, $24.10; Phi Kappa Sigma, $11.71; Pearson Hall, $6.22; Grace Pearson Hall, $4; Delta Sigma Phi, $3.02; GSE second floor east, $24.50; Lewis, $13.57, and Phi Kappa Theta, $8.

The true University of these days is a collection of books.—Thomas Carlyle
Eichmann-
(Continued from page 1) translation of the Hebrew proceedings.
STANDING RAMROD stiff, Eichmann heard Judge Landau read the fateful words:
"The Court finds you guilty of crimes against the Jewish people (four counts), crimes against humanity (seven counts), war crimes (one count), and membership in an illegal organization (three counts)."
After disclosing the court's verdict Judge Landau questioned the actions and motives of the entire German nation, the anti-Nazi allies and even Jews outside Germany at the time the Nazis were embarked upon the systematic slaughter of Jews.
"How could this happen in the light of day and why was it just the German people from which this great evil sprang?" Landau asked.
"COULD THE NAZIS have carried out their evil designs without the help given them by other peoples, in whose midst the Jews dealt? Would it have been possible to avert the catastrophe, at least in part, if the allies had displayed a great will to assist the persecuted?
"Did the Jewish people in the lands of freedom do all in their power to rally to the rescue of their brethren and to sound the alarm for help?"
Eichmann was tried on 15 specific counts under four general charges. The verdict found him guilty of at least one specific charge in each of the four categories — crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and membership in an illegal organization.
PROSECUTION spokesman Gideon Hasid said that "for all practical purposes" the conviction is on all 15 charges but that the defendant's degree of guilt on each charge will not be announced until the end of the reading of the verdict.
"He may be guilty on all 15 charges but that is not necessarily so," assistant prosecutor Yaacov Baror said.
Hasid said the announcement of Eichmann's guilt on all the broad categories of charges was made at the beginning "so as not to keep the defendant in suspense as to his fate."
Tanganyika Seen as Stable On Turbulent Continent
Tanganyika wants to show the world that there is stability and peace in that county and some parts of Africa, a KU student from Tanganyika said Friday.
Speaking at the Current Events Forum, Walter Bgoya said that his country which received its independence Saturday is a "model for Africa."
He said, "There is relative peace in Tanganyika which other African nations are in need of. Despite our 120 tribes we have a common language and no single tribe has the dominant control."
BGOYA SAID THAT MOST of Tanganyika's government stability could be attributed to the prime minister.
Our Prime Minister once said, 'We are not just trying to create Tanganyika as a nation, but as a government that wants to work with other African nations and people.'
"There was one party that wanted independence and Africa for Africans. All the jobs would be for only Africans," Bgoyla added.
He explained that the prime minister didn't want this and said he would not sacrifice good government and would give the jobs to those qualified.
"ANY MAN IN TANGANYIKA," he continued, "regardless of race or color will get the job if he is qualified."
Bgoya then turned to the question of democratic rule in his country. He said:
"The democracy you have here,
we cannot have in Africa. Your type
of democracy needs people who are educated. We do not have that many educated people in Africa."
He explained that for the many years when Tanganyika was under British rule not a single university was built. For the past seven years that country has been a trustee nation. He said that during that seven years when the people of Tanganyika were relatively self-governed a university was opened and that another one will be opened in two years.

AGAIN SPEAKING OF THE political situation in his country Bgoya said, "In my country there is one party rule. Our Prime Minister said that he was forming a government and couldn't be expected to form an opposition too.
"He said that if an opposition came under democratic principles,however, it would be fine.
"Of course there is opposition in the House (one of the government branches) but it is opposition within the party, not two different parties.
"THE FIRST THING AFRICAN states must learn," he continued, "is moderation. There are some who say that immediately after independence they can do anything at all. Of course you can't!"
Again referring to the selection of people for jobs in the Tanganyikan government, he said:
"As I said before, any man can have a job in my country if he is qualified. For example, the Minister
of Finance is an English man. If a man can secure the votes from the people, he can work in the government. He doesn't have to be a citizen but he does have to have lived there for three years."
TURNING TO TANGANYIKA's newly won independence he commented, "What does independence mean to me? It means pride. If a country is under another country it is like being a slave to some man.
"For the first time we will truly have a voice in the world.Now we will have leaders who will really be for the people and voted in by the people."
