Had Hair, Did Cut; Money Given to Fund
A freshman sacrificed his brown curly ducktail haircut to spearhead a Campus Chest drive at Battenfeld Scholarship Hall.
Bob Black, Ottawa, after presist-
ent urging from the other first
year him at Battenfeld, allowed his
hair to be cut, then auctioned. The
most expensive lock went for $3.
One lucky bidder acquired one for
75 cents. The auction brought in
$12.50.
BOB LOOKS LIKE the All America boy with his short hair, the Battenfeld men agreed, but he feels he is underweight now one man said.
"It's pretty cold outside with this short hair," said the embarrassed Black.
By last night Battenfeld Hall had collected $169, which is $3.31 per man. Last year Battenfeld won the independent dorm competition with $87.50.
There is spirited competition between the freshmen and the upper-
class men. Presently the freshmen hold a slight edge.
"We only had twenty dollars to back our bid up," said Ron Rardin, Shawnee Mission freshman.
THE DRIVE WAS KICKED off by the efforts of Larry Peterson. Winfield sophomore and Jim Tilford, Wichita sophomore, the upperclass men co-chairman. Peterson auctioned off what supposedly was a full box of homemade peanut brittle. He sold the half-box of brittle for $2.90.
"The upperclass men only had four dollars," said Don Ehrlich, Russell sophomore, "and $2.50 of it was mine. I even had to write a check for that." he added.
Another auction was held for a chocolate cake. The bidding was between freshmen and upperclass men. After much haggling the freshmen bought the cake for $27.50.
Battenfeld members plan to turn in over $1500 of book store receipts for rebate. The amount, $105, will also be given to campus chest.
New U.S. Battle Group Leaves for West Berlin
BERLIN — (UPI) — A U.S. Army battle group of 1,500 troops today started rolling toward Berlin where American and Communist soldiers faced each other from positions less than 15 yards apart at the tense Friedrichstrasse crossing point.
The battle group was ordered here to replace 1,500 troops of the 18th infantry. About 100 men of the 18th left this morning for their home base at Mannheim, West Germany. This convoy passed through Communist territory along the autobahn and cleared the Helmstedt checkpoint after an uneventful 110-mile ride.
THE LARGE TROOP exchange had been decided previously, but the start of it coincided with Communist actions in narrowing gaps in crossing points between East and West Berlin.
The American vehicles parked only inches away from the Soviet Jeep which was occupied by one Russian officer and two enlisted men.
Two U.S. military cars today stopped and blocked a Soviet Jeep in West Berlin less than one mile from Friedrichstrasse.
The military policemen refused to talk to newsmen who saw the Jeep and two cars which had stopped in the street for at least 15 minutes.
U. S. ARMY HEADQUARTERS said it had no immediate knowledge of the incident. Soviet patrols periodically tour West Berlin just as Allied troops move freely about East Berlin under the four-power agreement.
East German workers toiling under floodlights and guarded by members of their own people's army last night erected a six foot high concrete barrier most of the way across Friedrichstrasse, the only crossing point for non-Germans.
Other points for the few West Germans who still cross the border were narrowed to three-yard-wide traffic lines and pedestrian paths.
The Communists moved in troops and laborers last night to reinforce their border barricades. Allied reaction was swift.
A PLATOON OF AMERICAN soldiers was rushed to Friedrichstrasse, apparently to guard against any Communist attempt to shut the crossing point completely. The Americans set up two machineguns and trained a bazooka on a heavy concentration of East German troops on the other side of the crossing point.
The French also rolled troops up to the border but the British took no special action. A spokesman said a company of British soldiers has been on border duty since the Communists closed the border in August.
The United States sent a protest to the Soviet garrison headquarters in East Berlin three hours after the Communists rolled up to the border but there was no immediate reply.
THE SOLDIERS WHO LEFT their barracks in West Germany today comprise the 1st Battle Group, 19th Infantry. They were expected to reach Helmstedt tonight and start moving across East Germany to West Berlin tomorrow.
They will replace a battle group sent into Berlin by President Kennedy after the Communists started building their wall Aug. 13.
One reason for the replacement is to keep American troops moving along the 110-mile autobahn from West Germany to West Berlin to demonstrate Allied rights of free access to the isolated city. The Communists have denounced these movements as "dangerous provocations."
ALSO IN THE PROTEST FROM the U.S. Berlin commandant, Maj. Gen. Albert M. Watson II, was a request for assurances that Western allied traffic be allowed to flow unimpeded.
Soviet Position Stated
MOSCOW —(UPI)— The Soviet negotiating position on Berlin appeared clearer today as the pace of East-West maneuvering toward talks on the city's future picked up speed.
The West is expected to view as a setback last night's rejection of U.S. President John Kennedy's suggestion for international control of Western access routes to Berlin. The idea was turned down in the government newspaper, Izvestia.
However, informed observers were giving greater attention to a week-end speech by Polish Communist boss Wladisław Gomulka in which he appeared to clarify the eastern bloe idea of a step-by-step approach to a Berlin solution
- Liquidating the "occupation status" of West Berlin while guaranteeing Western powers free access and the possibility of retaining token armed forces there.
- West Berlin should become a free city with no West or East German institutions there and no government having the right to interfere in its internal affairs.
Excerpts from the speech printed yesterday in Izvestia said the Berlin problem could be solved relatively easily once two conditions were met. These are;

Freedom Rides Halted by Judge
McCOMB, Miss.—(UFI)—Futher "freedom rides" into this strifte- torn south Mississippi town were stalled today by court order and integration leaders announced plans to concentrate this week on neighboring Louisiana.
Integration leaders yesterday were served with a court order from U.S. district judge Sidney Mize of Gulfport forbidding any more "freedom rides" into McComb for the next 10 days.
THE ORDER, granted on request of state officials, said such activities were calculated to "foment violence and to provoke breaches of the peace."
Jackson and McComb newspaper publisher J. Oliver Emmerich was the latest victim of violence here. Emmerich was attacked yesterday by an oil field worker for allowing visiting reporters to use his newspaper offices last week.
Four whites accosted Life magazine photographer Don Uhrbrock of Miami, Life reporter Don Underwood of Miami, and Time magazine reporter Simmons Fentress of Atlanta as they left the office of the McComb Enterprise-Journal. One asked Fentress his identity and when he replied, struck him on the chin. The other two men then also were attacked and Uhrbrock was knocked through a plate glass window.
AT BATON ROUGE, about 50 miles to the southwest. Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) leaders said they plan a series of demonstrations this week against alleged discrimination in Louisiana's state capital.
David Dennis of Shreveport, state CORE field representative, said demonstrations would probably be directed against variety stores and bus terminals.
Judge Mize's temporary restraining order against further "freedom rides" here was served yesterday on CORE field secretary Tom Gaither in Jackson. It will be heard in court on Thursday.
