LOOK OF CONSTERNATION—Watching his bankroll drift into nothingness is Dennis Rylee, Kansas City junior. He, like many other out-of-state Hawkers, doesn't particularly like the $60 upping of his fees.
Students Vary in Opinions on Fees
Today was the second day of fee payment at KU. Students stood in lines at the Business office in Strong Hall and obediently paid their fees. They also made some comments.
Thursday. Sept. 28, 1961
David Salva, Sugar Creek, Mo.
senior, said:
"I think the $50 increase in out-of-state tuition is outrageous. Out-of-state tuition should not have been raised without raising in-state fees at the same time."
Linda Stark, Salina junior, said the fee payment procedure was "very efficient. It is not nearly as bad as enrollment was."
Ursula Lepowsky, German graduate student. said:
"I think that the fee payment and everything else is very well organized. I can't get over how quickly everything is done in this country.
Stamp To Be Issued Honoring Naismith
Dr. James Naismith, originator of basketball and former member of the KU faculty, will be honored with a commemorative stamp to be issued by the Postoffice Department on Nov. sixth.
Rep. Edward P. Boland, D-Mass,
told the House the date marks the
100th anniversary of Naismith's
birth.
A NATIVE OF ALMONTE, Ontario, Naismith went to the training school of the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass., where he originated basketball. The first game was played in December, 1891.
Kansas Congressmen noted that Naismith spent most of his adult life at KU. He introduced basketball here when he arrived in 1898 to head the physical education department.
IT WAS AT KU that basketball moved from the peachbasket stage to small auditoriums under the guidance of Dr. Naismith and Forrest C. "Phog" Allen one of the great basketball coaches.
Strangely enough Dr. Naismith always took the position that basketball could never be coached or taught. He held it as a simple form of afternoon recreation. No one was more surprised than he when it developed into one of the greatest American sports.
Dr. Naismith remained active at KU until his retirement in 1937. He died in Lawrence in 1939.
Dennis Rylee, Kansas City junior, said:
"I don't think the increase in tuition is too good an idea. But I do feel that it is worth more to me to go to KU than it is to go to MU."
With so many students at KU, it really amazes me how quickly they get everything done"
All students who have not paid their fees should do so tomorrow.
Radioactive fallout has decreased to the level it held before the Russians resumed nuclear testing.
Fallout Reading Drops Sharply
"It is essentially back to where it was before the tests," Benjamin S. Friesen, professor of radiation biophysics, said yesterday.

The latest data show a reading of 5 micro-microcuries per cubic meter of air. Fallout averaged about a 1.1 reading before the tests, Prof. Friesen said.
"THE DIFFERENCE between a reading of 1 and 5 micro-microcuries is not significant," Prof. Friesen said. "Especially in view of the 1,010 reading last week."
Last Wednesday fallout soared to 1.010 micro-microcuries. But it dropped sharply the next day to a 7.8 reading. Saturday fallout fell to 0.33 micro-microcuries per cubic meter of air.
Prof. Friesen said he did not know why the reading had dropped so sharply the day after the high reading. But yesterday's low was probably caused by the rain in Lawrence over the weekend.
"THE RAIN washed out the atmosphere," he explained.
"The material recorded Wednesday had a half-life of five days," Prof. Friesen said. "It's pretty short-lived material." he continued.
' Prof. Friesen said tests revealed yesterday that the radioactive material in last week's high reading had reduced itself by half.
The short half-life of this material proves it is non-toxic radiation. The toxic, dangerous radiation has a half-life of much greater duration. An example is strontium, which has a half-life of 28 years.

AWS Orientates New Students
Emily Taylor, Dean of Women,
opened the first meeting of the All
Women Students with an invitation
for freshman and transfer women
to "share the satisfaction that AWS
offers.
The outstanding characteristics of AWS, according to Dean Taylor's address, are its functions as a communicator between women students, administration and other organized groups.
Kay Timberlake, Kansas City junior and mistress of ceremonies, introduced AWS representatives from the different living areas. She explained the organization of AWS with the aid of a giant backdrop charting the officers, committees, functions, and places for the women of the campus to serve the University.
Women attending were urged "to find their place in AWS." Freshman women were invited to take part in the annual High School Day reception for senior girls Nov. 4 as hostesses.
"The meeting demonstrated the vitality and interest of University women in wholesome activities." commented Diane Lane, Kansas City junior and a transfer student who attended the program.
Karlene Howell, Kansas City senior and AWS president, pointed out the expanding opportunities for KU women in AWS. The organization has room for 800 active members this year on committees and projects.
The chairman of each of the AWS committees gave an explanation of her part in AWS.
"I was an AWS representative at a previous college, but our organization didn't begin to include the range of opportunities available here." Miss Lane said.
Soviets Ready With U.N. Plan
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(UPI)—The Soviet Union was reported today to be making ready a proposal for a five-man board to run the United Nations.
Soviet delegation sources claimed they never heard of the idea.
Eastern European sources said the still nebulous plan called one representative each from Communist, Western, Asian, $ A^{f} $ and Latin American countries.
ACCORDING TO informants, Russia contemplated proposing that one of the five-man board would be chosen as chief until a specified date in 1962.
The said the Russians wanted an African as the top man, but not General Assembly President Mongi Slim of Tunisia, who had United States sentiment for his appointment by the 100-nation world parlia-ment as interim administrator until a secretary general is chosen.
The African country favored, the informants said, was Nigeria.
The United States and Britain meanwhile asked the general assembly to demand prohibition of all nuclear tests under effective control.
RUSSIA HAD firmly opposed any
The two Western powers presented a resolution calling for immediate resumption of the Geneva talks broken off by Russia with its new start of nuclear tests in the atmosphere.
Anderson Cheers Nixon's Decision
TOFEKA — (UPI) — Gov. John Anderson said today the decision of Richard M. Nixon to run for governor of California means the former Vice President is assuming once again the role of "a fighter." Anderson said this role might have carried Nixon to the Presidency last year.
Kansas' Republican governor said Nixon abandoned the mantle of a scraper in the 1960 Presidential race. But if the Republican candidate had stuck to his established role in that election, Anderson said, "he might very well have been elected."
"Now he's coming out as a fighter again," Anderson said. "That's his traditional role."
Of Nixon's chances to win the governorship of California, Anderson remarked, "He has a fight on his hands."
debate in this assembly session on the nuclear test problem, insisting that it should be treated only as part of its program for an overall agreement on "general and complete disarmament."
France tested in the Sahara Desert while the other three nuclear powers observed a three-year moratorium on tests.
Russia gave this as a major reason for resuming atmospheric explosions.
Nasty Flu Bug Fertile at KU
The flu "bug" has always found fertile ground for practicing its ugly business on the KU campus.
Officials of Watkins Memorial Hospital believe there is a good chance 1961-62 might be one of the fatter years for the germ. They have encouraged all students and faculty members to obtain inoculation against the disease.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, hospital administrator, estimated that 2.160 students received an influenza shot during physical examination evaluation, and another 500 probably received a shot during the summer at home.
The hospital clinic staff yesterday reported a larger than usual number of students and faculty received flu vaccinations since last week, setting that figure at about 450.
Hospital authorities said students and faculty were apparently responding to an earlier plea that the shots be taken to ward off any possibility of an epidemic on the campus this year.
But the number responding to the request is still far below the number needed to raise the total campus population who are protected to a safe level.
Dr. Canuteson has estimated that a safe level against a possible epidemic outbreak of the disease this fall and winter would be about 50 per cent of the total campus population.
Estimating a campus population at about 9,000, the present average of those believed to be immune is still far below the calculated "safe" level.
3,200 Musicians Will Crowd Stadium
Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg's annual headache is here again.
Band Day is behind the KU athletic director's consternation. A few minutes before the start of Saturday's football game it will all start.
FOR THEN, approximately 3,200 high school musicians will completely cover the turf of Memorial Stadium.
On the sidelines two coaches will be making side glances at Mr. Lonborg and 22 charging football players will be stomping up the running track.
"TIM NERVOUS about it because sometimes the band practice runs overtime a little bit and we have to delay the start of the game." Lonborg said. "But I don't worry about it as much as I used to."
The bands practice their maneuvers from 11 a.m. to 20 minutes before game time.
"Yes, Dutch does get a little nervous when we have them all out there before the game," Russell L. Wiley, band director, chuckled.
"Gawrsh, we can't even get in the stadium with all them bands they got in there."
"But we can get them off the field in two minutes when we give them the signal." he said.
LONG BEFORE the bands reach KU (64 this year) they will know where to stand on the field and sit in the stands.
The secret of the dispersal lies in the arrangement of the bands on the field and in the stands.
In the practice session they drill coming from and going to the stands. By 1 p.m. they are thoroughly versed in the art.
But the practice session is not always finished by then and Mr. Lonborg anxiously watches the clock.
Mr. Wiley and associates save the day, however, with a flick of their hands. Suddenly the field is emptied of musicians. Not even the grass is mussed.
Mr. Lonborg actually loves Band Day and waits for the half-time show when the bands put on their mass show.
"They get off the field real quick then," Mr. Lonborg says.
