Spanish Speaker Teaches French
A Guatemalan who was reared speaking Spanish is now teaching French at KU. She formerly taught German, also at KU.
Mrs. Ana Breedleove, from Guatemala City, Guatemala, has a graduate teaching assistantship in Romance languages this year. Mrs. Breedleove graduated from KU in 1958 with a double major in French and German. She has lived in Lawrence since 1956.
THE SOFT-SPOKEN woman says the assistantship program is a boon. "It continues the wonderful opportunity for contact with teachers and students," she says.
From a practical standpoint, Mrs. Breedlove is able to continue work towards her masters degree.
"You can't get a job without one," she said. "At least one not requiring manual labor."
LOCATED AT ONE of the many desks in Fraser Hall's larger offices. Mrs. Breedlove spends her spare moments reading. She has a stack of French and German books perched above her desk.
The dark-haired, brown-eyed instructor said the experience she is acquiring in teaching is extremely valuable.
"It gives me security in case the unforeseen happens," she said.
Mrs. Breedlove is married to Harold Breedlove, Lawrence graduate student. They met at Park College, Parkville, Mo., in 1954. A year later they were married.

Co-existence May Be New Marx-Lenin Tenet
The 22nd Congress of the Soviet Communist Party in Moscow may claim peaceful co-existence as a principle of Marxist-Leninist dogma, a Russian expert in the political science department said yesterday.
Roy D. Laird, assistant professor of political science, said the major task of party people in preparation for the Congress has been that of incorporating peaceful co-existence into the Marxist-Leninist dogma. He added that peaceful co-existence is not a Marxist-Leninist principle.
"It will be very interesting to see if external pressure from China, internal pressure from factions opposed to Khrushechev and heat of Berlin will cause some retraction of peaceful co-existence at the Congress," he said.
"Some of my colleagues think they have seen important evidence that peaceful co-existence is being retracted. I don't think so. The big test will be the treatment of peaceful co-existence at the Congress."
Prof. Laird said his interpretation of the Berlin crisis could be explained by two points:
Students to Walk Over Ancestors
More than 350 students will leave KU by bus in the next week to no trumping around on dead animals and plants.
But the dead debris will be hard as rock.
Seventeen lab sections of Geology I classes will take separate field trips starting October 18. They will visit and study sedimentary rock deposits in a highway excavation south of Baldwin.
"Dead plants and animals" form the deposits, which are shale and limestone and are found in pennsylvanian rocks. Wakefield Dort, associate professor of geology, said
He said the deposits are about 300 million years old.
- The Russians are using a long standing practice; tough today, conciliatory tomorrow. They are now in the tough stage.
- In part, the height of the Berlin crisis may be attributable to smoke-screen tactics to hide advances and activities elsewhere, particularly in Southeast Asia, but also in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
Swimming Club Has 23 Pledges
Quack Club, a swimming club for girls, announces 23 pledges for 1961- 1962.
They are:
Kathy Bergstrom and Carolyn Power, both of Kansas City, Mo, freshmen; Sheila Brown, Leavenworth freshman; Judy Fessler, Lee's Summit, Mo., freshman; Kathy Gittleson and Sandra Jenkins both from Lincoln, Neb., freshmen; Ann and Sarah Graber, both Hutchinson juniors.
Lynn Greever, Leavenworth sophomore; Andrea Gresser, Topeka freshman; Mary Hughes, Beth Muell and LuRaye Shreve all Des Moines, Ia., freshmen; Claire McEliroy, Marilyn McPherson, Donna Miller and Midg Walters all Wichita freshmen; Mary Meisel, University City, Mo., sophomore.
Dianne and Trish Mullane, both Oklahoma City, Okla., junts; Penny Paris, Atchison freshman; Betty Wienecke, Tulsa, Okla., freshman, and Judy Wilcox, Kirkwood, Mo., junior.
The pledges were tested on different strokes, rhythmical swimming and synchronized swimming.
They will spend the first semester working on synchronized swimming and stunts. Second semester they will produce a show, according to the club's sponsor, Ruth E. Hoover, associate professor of physical education.
Good Highways For KU-OU Fans
University of Kansas football fans who drive to Norman, Okla., Saturday to watch the Jayhawks and the Oklahoma Sooners in their annual grid battle, will be able to travel 4-lane highways most of the way.
From Lawrence, Kansas City and Topeka to Norman, only a 50-mile gap in Oklahoma breaks the 4-lane highway that leads almost to the Sooner stadium on Norman's south side, via Turnpike and Oklahoma Expressway.
From the Turnpike's West Lawrence Interchange to Norman, driving distance is 330 miles, giving drivers the advantage of 280 miles of fast travel highway on the Turnpike and Interstate 35. The latter route runs within a mile of the stadium.
Speech Contest Nov.9
The department of speech will hold a campus public speaking contest at 8 p.m., Nov. 9, in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Tryouts will be held at 4-6 p.m.
Nov. 7, in Strong Hall. Room 114
These tryout speeches are limited to six minutes. Speeches for the contest may be 8-10 minutes. Six speakers will be selected for the final contest, which is open to all undergraduates.
Anyone interested in further information can contact E. C. Buchler, professor of speech, 116 Strong, or Floyd Merritt, graduate assistant, 204 Hoch.
