SNOW A BAD DAY—Small cars, like the one shown here, were regularly befriended today by University dump trucks in an effort to keep KU traffic moving on ice-glazed, snow-covered streets.
Snow, Ice Cover Hill In First Winter Storm
The first ice and snow storm of 1963 hit the campus last night, icing over streets and causing hazardous driving conditions.
Only .02 inches of snow had been recorded early today, but considerably more snow was expected to fall throughout the day.
THE U.S. WEATHER Bureau issued a cold wave and hazardous driving warnings today for the Lawrence area. The bureau forecasts occasional snow through tonight, with a low tonight from 5 to 10 degrees above zero. A five-day forecast calls for very cold weather through at least Sunday or Monday. Additional snow may fall Sunday or Monday.
In Lawrence, city and campus workers were kept busy this morning sanding glazed streets.
Friday, Jan. 11, 1963
"Only 13th and 14th streets have been officially closed thus far," a representative of the Police and Traffic Bureau said today. "Naismith is about closed off also, but by cars that can't make it up the grade. They are sanding the streets regularly, but it's still hard to get around on this ice."
Four accidents occurred on campus last night but there were no injuries
LAWRENCE POLICE Chief William Cox said almost all city intersections would be sanded by Friday afternoon. He remarked driving was at normal levels this morning, with few accidents reported.
Northeastern Kansas was getting only the backlash of a severe snow storm that plunged temperature far below zero in Wyoming and in the

Ceylonese Premier Sirimavo Bandaranaike met Premier Jawaharlal Nehru in New Delhi today to press the "neutralist" campaign for a compromise settlement of Chinese-Indian difference.

Italian Coalition Faces Test Today
ROME — (UFI) The left-wing Socialists scheduled a crucial vote today on whether to accept a compromise proposed by Premier Aminitore Fanfani or topple his coalition government.
The crisis threatening Fanfani's 10-month-old "Center-Left" coalition developed over Socialist demands for self-government in the five regions of Italy. Fanfani, a Christian Democrat, has offered to pass two of the five necessary acts in this parliament and introduce the remained three after general elections in the spring.
The Socialists debated the offer for three days. A strong pro-Communist wing within the party wanted an immediate break with Fanfani.
SOCIALIST PIETRO NENNI reportedly argued yesterday that the Socialists should avoid a formal crisis and retain their position in the coalition, where they can influence domestic and foreign policy.
There are no Socialists in the cabinet, but their support in parliament is the key to Fanfani's government.
A minority of Christian Democrats also oppose Fanfani's coalition with Nenni. They have fought regional self-government on the grounds that Nenni will team with Communists to gain political control in some of the regions.
Fanfani is scheduled to visit President Kennedy in Washington Jan

Strong Basement Still Litter-Bugged
Things have not changed much since yesterday. The litter this morning was as bad as ever in Strong Hall basement.
Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, said yesterday that if Strong basement is not kept neater, the Union might be forced to remove the concessions services.
Mrs. Goldie Neis, Strong Hall concessions manager, despares that things will ever be different.
"I CANT SEE there's any difference," she said. "There are 23 trash pails around here. You'd think the students could see them, wouldn't you?
"They put their feet on the tables. They spill things on the chairs and tables and then sit in it. I told one boy to take his feet off the table and he told me he'd paid $250 just so he could do that," she continued.
"It'll never be completely clean." Mrs. Neis said. "You know you can't expect that. But everybody's got to help keep it as neat at possible."
"YOU CAN'T EVEN imagine some of the things I find on the tables: egg shells, boiled eggs, banana peels, tuna cans, pop bottles and Metrecal cans."
"I pick up cups. My assistant picks up cups. I have a boy who picks up cups. Put you tell the students to pick things up and they just make fun of you.
Tshombe Raps U.S. Congo 'Ignorance'
LONDON—(UPI)—Katanga President Moise Tshombe charged today that the United States imported the cold war into the Congo "through its ignorance and self-interest."
In a special letter written to "Congo-Africa," a fortnightly news and opinion digest issued in London, Tshombe wrote:
"The fundamental problem is one of self-determination, which has been refused without right, and for the first time in the history of the world, to a new state which has governed itself in an orderly manner for two and a half years.
"In spite of all our efforts, reason cannot prevail until the Leopoldville government, the United Nations and the United States abandon the authoritarian myths which inspire their action and replace them by recognition of our right to self-determination."
TSHOMBE ALLEGED one of his offers, made on Dec. 13 had not been conveyed to Premier Cyrille Adoula by Dec. 21, nor had any reply been made to the offer or to a request for a guarantee from the U.S., Britain and Belgium.
U. N. officials said Tshombe was back in Elisabethville from a tour among his supporters, and apparently was acquiescing to U.N. orders to steer clear of further trouble and work for a settlement of the crisis.
THE UNITED NATIONS credited British consul Derek Dodson with obtaining a pledge from Tsomheb that he would call off his "scored earth" policy. Dodson and Belgian Consul Frederik Van Der Walle have demonstrated influence with Tsomheb on several occasions.
Tshombe was given full freedom of movement to go to Mokamba near the Rhodesian border yesterday after Dedson and Van Der Walle conferred with U.N. officials in Elisabethville. Tunisian U.N. troops had been placed around Tshombe's palace Wednesday night after Thant issued an order to restrain the Katangese leader "from further irresponsible acts," but the troops were withdrawn six hours later.
It was believed at first that Tshombe had been put under house arrest, but U.N. officials said later there had been "a slight misunderstanding."
CHEIF U.N. SPIKESMAN Osgood Caruthers said Tshombe does not have a U.N. escort to keep him under surveillance.
"As long as he makes no inflammatory statement or does not incite hostility against the United Nations or destruction he will be free to move about," Caruthers said.
After the mixup was clarified yesterday, Tshombe rode ahead of a U.N. armored column toward northern Rhodesia on a trip on which he conferred with his chief advisers at Mokambo.
The pledge which Dodson was said to have obtained from Tshombe apparently nullified Tshombe's threats Tuesday that his forces

Bell Sees U.S. Knowledge Void On Dark Africa
If America is going to improve its understanding of the rising ex-French nations in Africa, it will have to go beyond the information found in the newspapers.
That is what Aldon Bell, associate professor of history, told the African Study Group last night. Americans today, he said, know little about the 18 former French colonies in the Dark Continent.
"OUR PRIME INTEREST has been the British areas in Africa and only in the past couple of years have we really been concerned with ex-French nations there," he said.
Prof. Bell added that Americans today do not hear much about these newly independent nations unless it is through the press, a press which mentions them only when they have a flirtation with the Communist bloc.
Prof. Bell said this lack of knowledge was absurd because most of these nations are actually underdeveloped politically and are changing constantly.
A short history of the French colonies in Africa explains in part this slow reaction to the rise of these nations, he said.
France was slower than other European powers in moving into Africa, he noted, and explained that competition with Britain and slavery interests finally prompted the French move.
BUT THE FRENCH were not as active as the British until around 1861, when they became very interested in forming a French empire in Africa, Prof. Eell said.
he was a conscious effort to

Women Will 'Rough It' During Sorority Rush
A new element has been added to the strain and tension of rush week for upperclass women — living in converted barracks.
Dean of Women Emily Taylor last night told the women going through formal spring rush that while their are no shower curtains or mirrors in Oread Hall there is plenty of hot water and the solitude of private rooms. The rushees will stay in Oread during rush week for a fee of $8 with no dining facilities provided.
THE RUSHEES will move out of their residence halls on the morning of Feb 4 (Tuesday after final week). Dean Taylor advised the women to take only what they needed to Orread. Storage will be available in the basement of Hashinger Hall.
She said the last time she was in Oread, she saw a spring protruding from a chair seat. On a recent "tour of inspection, the chair had been nicely covered with a piece of gingham."
Grade requirements for going through rush are a 1. here or a 1. cumulative for transfer students and a 1. cumulative or a 1.5 this semester for former students.
Dean Taylor urged any women who will fail to make their grades or who change their minds before or during rush to notify her office.
The four upperclass rush counselors are Marilyn Younr, Scott City senior; Linnea Odegard, Chicago Heights, Ill., sophomore; Jan Huffman, Junction City junior; and Serean Griesel, Overland Park junior.
