Missouri's Statement
(Editor's Note: Yesterday the presidents of both the KU and Missouri student bodies issued statements as a part of the peace pact agreement that was made final at Kansas City.)
For the past several years, the problem of rivalry between the Kansas and Missouri Universities has become increasingly acute. This has been due, in many respects, to the almost parallel growth of the two institutions. Scholastically, athletically and in many other fields the two universities are achieving national stature.
LAST YEAR THOUGH, was the first outbreak of actual violence and it has given both schools a black eye. Since then the student governments of KU and MU have been meeting, trying to find possible solutions to the problem. Many worthwhile programs can come from these groups, but the ultimate solutions must come from each and every individual, Kansan or Missourian, who attends these athletic events.
Certainly, it is a lot of fun to wear AHAB buttons, to have a strong rivalry with another university, to "rub it in" when we win, to complain when we lose. Missouri and Kansas have one of the most long-standing rivalries in the country and in most ways it is something to be proud of. But when the rivalry deteriorates into hatred, when athletic competition on the field becomes fist fighting competition in the stands, high officials in both university administrations begin to question the value of the rivalry.
THOSE OF US WHO are going to Lawrence for the game should remember that much more than a single victory is at stake. Let's go and cheer the team as much as we can, but let's go as gentlemen and ladies. The continuance of the KU-MU tradition may well depend upon how each individual conducts himself at this game. A simple application of the principles of human respect will provide a solution to the problem.

Eberhart's Statement
The students of the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri are faced with an important decision in the matter of student conduct and University policy. This decision involves a simple choice between two possible courses of action.
ONE OF THESE CHOICES, preceded by past performances of our students and contemplated by some for the coming football game, involves destruction of property and open disrespect for the two schools and their athletic departments. A riot, general fist-fighting, or malicious conduct might push the relations between KU and MU to a point that would result in the discontinuation of athletic contests between the two schools.
On the other hand, if we can direct our enthusiasm to the teams on the playing field, show some respect for each other by not flaunting our derogatory comments and "buttons," and show that we realize how much is at stake by displaying some sportsmanship—then we can have the proud satisfaction of knowing that we insured one of the strongest, oldest, and most exciting athletic rivalries in the mid-West.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT MEMBERS, University officials, newspapermen, and cheerleaders from both schools have tried to represent our best interests in working to prevent the defamation of both schools' fine reputations. Although you may temporarily question some of their proposals, try to view the long-range consequences to see if you want the Universities to be noted for academic achievements and fine athletic teams—or for vicious riots.
Although our decision involves two choices I'm sure we will want to choose the one showing our maturity and our acceptance of responsibility. Let's go to the game and enjoy it the way we should.

JFK Returns to Capital For Adenauer Talks
By Merriman Smith
En route with President Kennedy — (UPI) — President Kennedy speed back to Washington by jet transport today for a round of Berlin crisis conferences with West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
The Chief Executive wound up a four-day western speech tour in Los Angeles late last night and left aboard an Air Force Jet transport for Andrews Field outside Washington.
AFTER THREE successive days of public speaking, the Chief Executive spent a relatively easy Sunday in Los Angeles before his night flight back to the nation's capital.
Kennedy's Sunday began with a long distance telephone conference with Secretary of State Dean Rusk in Washington. After attending mass at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, the President returned to his suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and talked with Rusk again.
ACCORDING TO Fress Secretary Pierre Salinger, the President and his foreign affairs officer wanted to talk over two matters of immediate concern—the conferences with Adenauer and mounting unrest in the Dominican Republic.
Before seeing the German Chancellor this afternoon, the President had another international engagement on his agenda for today. He planned a morning meeting with Paul Henri Spaak, former chief civilian officer of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and now the Belgian foreign minister.
