Many foreign statesmen and politicians are expected here to pay their respect and tribute to the U.N. diplomat who died while trying to bring peace to the Congo.
The decision to honor Hammarskjold with a state funeral was taken after consultations between the Swedish Government and Hammarskjold's relatives.

On Other Campuses
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA—Enrolling along with regular University of Southern California freshmen this month are some 30 Los Angeles area high school seniors. The students, participants in a unique experiment, were selected for both intellectual and social maturity. After completion of a special study program in June, they will return to their high schools to graduate with their classes—but will also be ready for the second year of college. The idea of this experiment, according to U.S.C. President Dr. Norman Topping, is not, in general, to substitute the first year of college for the senior year of high school, but to determine whether currently established patterns result in "lost motion" for superior students.
CAIRO, EGYPT—Women have finally breached the forbidding walls of Al Azhar University, the world's oldest Islamic institute. For a thousand years, Al Azhar was strictly for men. Students from all over the world studied at the school with not a single coed among them. Although the University has softened its stand, it has refused to surrender completely. Women graduate students are being admitted, but coed undergrads are still forbidden.
