Dixieland Sales Going Slowly
Ticket sales for the Dukes of Dixieland concert Sunday evening, which begins the 1961 Campus Chest drive, continued to lag yesterday.
However, a member of the Campus Chest committee said he is hopeful that many students will buy tickets at the door.
Only $200 in tickets were sold yesterday at $1.50 each, bringing the total to $850. The cost for the concert will run above $2,000.
"A number of people stopped at the Information Booth yesterday and asked if tickets would be sold at the door," said Don McKillop, Prairie Village junior and Campus Chest committee special events chairman. "Many students may be planning to attend but just haven't bought a ticket vet."
Tickets will be sold until 4:30 this afternoon in the Information Booth and at the door Sunday evening. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
The actual drive will get underway Monday and will continue into Saturday. The theme this year is "$1 from you. $10,000 from KU."
A kickoff breakfast will be held tomorrow at 10 a.m. for 150 solicitors and president of organized houses. Laurence Woodruff, dean of students, will address the group, and Peter Leppman of the World University Service (WUS) will explain the activities of WUS, which receives the largest share of Campus Chest funds.
Charles Hess, Kansas City senior and Campus Chest committee chairman, will explain the purpose of the drive and distribute an instruction
and information manual to the solicitors.
In addition to making cash donations, students may donate their rebate slips from the Kansas Union Book Store, Hess said.
Campus Chest proceeds will be divided among eight organizations this year. World University Service will receive 40 per cent, CARE, Save the Children Federation, KU Travel Fund, and People-to-People, 10 per cent each; and Foster Parents and Near East Foundation, 5 per cent each. The remaining 10 per cent will be divided among several other national charities.
A 16-piece band of students, faculty members, and University alumni will present a jazz concert at 6:45 p.m. Sunday in the Ballroom of the Kansas Union.
Faculty, Students Present Concert
The concert will end before 7:45 p.m. to allow time for those attending the Campus Chest "Dukes of Dixieland" concert to get to Hoch Auditorium.
The jazz band will present compositions and arrangements by national and local musicians. The band will feature instrumental selections and two vocal numbers.
The concert is under the direction of John Hill, instructor of wind and percussion, and under joint sponsorship of the SUA Jazz Forum and the American Federation of Musicians.

Dr. Tingfu F. Tsiang, Nationalist China's Ambassador to the United Nations and the U.S., said delegates "often shed crocodile tears over the 600 million people of China for their alleged lack of representation in the United Nations."
"IF THE representatives of the nations assembled here have tears."

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI)
— The United States and the Soviet Union clashed head-on in the United Nations today over the issue of seating. Communist China.
The United States moved to block the seating of Red China by requiring a two-thirds vote on the question.
Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson was scheduled to reply for the United States at the assembly's afternoon session scheduled for 2 p.m. Lawrence time.
SOVIET DEPUTY Foreign Minister Valerian A. Zorin accused the United States of withholding recognition from the Peiping regime because of its "success" as a Communist government and because the U.S. wants a return to a "golden flood of dollars" from an "imperialist-dominated" China.
Tsiang said, "human tears of compassion, let them shed them over the misery and the suffering of the 600 million Chinese men and women on the mainland during the last 12 years . . .
"The Chinese people have suffered much from the tyrants in the long history of China, but they have never suffered so much as they have under the Communist regime . . ."
"It is clear that the Communist regime on the mainland of China is the fruit of the Soviet military intervention in my country. As such, it is the fruit of Soviet aggression against my country."
TSIANG challenged the Communists to agree to a free vote of the Chinese people under the United Nations to decide which government they want.
"My government would abide by the results of such a plebiscite," he said.
The question of replacing Nationalist China with Communist China in the world organization first was raised in 1950 when the assembly defeated a move to seat the Peiping regime. Since then, until this year, the United States had blocked the
assembly's consideration of the question.
IN BACKING the Chinese Reds at this morning's session Russia said that admitting Communist China would be a major step forward in consolidating the peaceful coexistence of states with different social systems.
Russia had a resolution before the assembly calling for the immediate removal "from all U.N. organs of the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek clique who are unlawfully occupying the place of Red China."
But the United States countered with a resolution put into the assembly hopper before the start of this morning's session which would declare the China representation issue an "important question" requiring a two-thirds vote of the assembly.
U. S. SOURCES were confident this resolution, co-sponsored by Australia, Colombia, Italy and Japan, would gain a "comfortable majority" which would assure that the Chinese Communists would not gain a U.N. seat this year.
Schlesinger May Speak Here
Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., special assistant to the President and Alexander Fomin, counselor to the Soviet Ambassador are the tentative speakers for KU's "World Crisis Day," it was reported today.
Russian Embassy officials said during a recent telephone conversation that they would be quite willing to send a Soviet representative for the special day.
CHANCELLOR W. CLARKE Wescole and members of the Crisis Day steering committee decided to accept the Russian offer only if a representative from the U.S. government is also present.
"The Soviets are ready to send Fomin." a member of the steering committee commented. "All we have
to do now is wait until we can get someone from the (federal) government.
"If we can't get both speakers on the same day we might postpone the Crisis Day until next semester," he added.
THE TENTATIVE DATE for the day has been moved back one week to Dec. 14 because of difficulties in obtaining an American speaker.
McGeorge Bundy, Edward R. Murrow, Dean Acheson, Richard Nixon, and Sen. William Fulbright have all declined invitations to speak.
Brian O'Heron, Lawrence senior and co-chairman of the steering committee, said that except for the speakers everything is "shaping up
pretty well."
Several sub-committees of the steering committee have been set up to handle arrangements for the day, he added.
THE COMMITTEES ARE: Publicity, Discussion groups, Convocation, and a committee to arrange for a final Plenary meeting following the day's activities.
The Plenary session will be to sum up the "World Crisis Day" and to make an evaluation of it.
At a meeting of the steering committee yesterday plans were made to obtain and distribute posters advertising the special day. These will not be distributed, however, until there is definite confirmation of speakers.
In 12 years since the Communist regime took over the Chinese mainland, Zorin said, "the people of the world have been in semi-colonial China, whose wealth was plundered by the monopolists of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and others . . . a great socialist state built and consolidated with each passing day.
"From the first day of its existence," Zorin said, "China has been pursuing peace. Its people and government do not need war, just as no other socialist state needs war."
THE UNITED STATES and other Western countries were confident they could block the Communist campaign for at least another year.
At the start of a general assembly debate expected to last two weeks, the United States, Australia, Colombia, Italy and Japan presented a draft resolution that would make any proposal to change the representation of China an "important question."
Telephone Marathons Started Here Templin First... Carruth-O'Leary Next
By Ron Wilcox
At 9 last night, Vincent Osborne, Dugway, Utah, freshman, dropped two nickels into the pay telephone in the fourth floor lounge at Templin Hall, and dialed the number of the sixth floor at Lewis Hall. The telephone rang four times.
Jane Bender, Shawnee Mission sophomore, strolling through the lounge at the time, heard the telephone ring and answered it, not knowing at the time she was the first to talk on what might possibly be a two-week telephone conversation.
The goal was set for 19 days and 15 hours—until the hour Christmas vacation starts.
In order to create interest it was decided to have each participant donate 50 cents for an unlimited amount of time. For each (Continued on page 12)

Carruth-O'Leary and Chi Omega sorority started their own charitable telephone marathon last night at 11:26, not knowing of Templin's efforts.
The late starters of Carruth-O'Leary knew that Templin had been thinking about the telethon, but thought that Templin's efforts had been quashed by the administration or Templin directors.
Barry Bennington, Cheney junior, started the telephone conversation with Chi Omega sorority. As he talked anxious onlookers spoke of how they were going to beat the record of 120 hours set by the University of Illinois last week.
"Hello, hello. You will? Are you ready to start?" Bennington
