WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Defense Department announced today that 27 IL28 bombers now have been pulled out of Cuba by the Russians.
Russian Bombers Leave Cuban Soil
COLD COED—Attired in heavy coat, fur collar and Russian type headpiece, Betty Davis, Kansas City, Mo., junior, seems to be enjoying the cold weather that has rushed the campus from an Indian summer into a wintery December.
It said in a statement that the Soviet ship Kasimov was underway today from the port of Mariel, west of Havana, with 15 of the subsonic jet bombers on board.
THE SOVET SHIP OKHOTSK, which was spotted Dec. 1 with three IL28 fuselages aboard, now has made another stop and picked up an additional nine
planes, the statement said.
The Defense Department said that there were "more than 30" of the bombers on the island at the time of the Cuban Crisis.
Other U.S. sources said, however, that Russia has informed the United States in New York that it had put 42 of the jet bombers in Cuba and that they would be removed. These sources also had talked previously in terms of "more than 30" bombers.
Information on the bombers being shipped out was gathered by U.S. Navy patrol planes operating out of Key West, Fla.
President Kennedy had demanded removal of the jet bombers along with ballistic missiles installed in Cuba by the Russians.
THE PENTAGON statement, issued by deputy assistant defense secretary Nils Lennartson, said the crew of the Kasimov voluntarily opened crates on its deck to reveal the IL28 fuselages to U.S. inspectors flying overhead in planes.
The statement also said that aerial photographs disclosed there were no more IL28 fuselages or crates on the western

Kansan Errs
A paragraph in yesterday's UDK article entitled "Justices Deny Implied Fixing of Traffic Tickets" stated that Police Chief Joe Skillman was a member of the Faculty Tribunal. This statement is incorrect. Chief Skillman is not a faculty member and only attends the Tribunal when asked to do so. He does not act as a member of the Tribunal.
BOULDER, Colo. — (UPI) President Quigg Newton of the University of Colorado announced his resignation yesterday, and the reactions were varied.
CU President Resigns Post
BOULDER. Colo — (UPI)
"This is the best news I've ever heard," said Regent Charles Bromley.
"He has been a good president," said student Carl Mitcham.
Thursday, Dec. 6, 1962
EROMLEY HAS BEEN the lone Republican on the board of regents and has been a consistent outspoken critic of Newton. The resignation "will solve most of the problems that have been plaguing the school." he said.
Newton, 51, former mayor of Denver and a Democrat, released a letter to the board of regents yesterday in which he announced he will leave the university next summer to assume the presidency of the Commonwealth Fund, a philanthropic organization based in New York City.
Mitcham, 21. a philosophy student from Dallas, sparked the ire of U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and local Republicans with articles in the student newspaper blasting Goldwater and former President Dwight Eisenhower.
Newton apologized for the articles and criticized the student.
"Despite the problems and controversies inherent in the rapid growth, the University of Colorado is, I am confident, well on its way toward becoming one of the truly great centers of higher education in America," he said.

During Newton's administration, enrollment has increased by 25 per cent. At present, 12,226 students attend the school. His supporters insist Newton deserves credit for reorganization to cope with the increase in size and for greatly enhancing the school's academic reputation.
60th Year, No. 55

"If not changed," he said, "it could provide a new legal basis for the conversion of public institutions to allegedly private ones solely for the purpose of evading the requirements of the 14th amendment."
Wright said the university had strong enough connections with the state, through tax exemptions and public officials on the school's board, to bring it under the 14th Amendment.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
A moderating trend in the current cool spell over Kansas was predicted today and tonight — but a new surge of cold air toorrow should put an end to the warming.
Winds were shifting to the south in western portions and will produce the moderation in temperatures for a short time.
But the overall situation will not change much as the new surge moves into the state. Little if any precipitation was associated with the new front, however.
But Ellis said the university was free to admit Negroes because "Neither this nor any other court may exercise its power to enforce racial restrictions in private covenants."
Highs today were predicted to run generally from the 40s east to 50s west, with lows tonight generally around 30.
U. S. Dist. Judge Frank B. Ellis held Tulane was a private institution, and therefore not subject to court-ordered desegregation. He said the school could admit Negroes voluntarily.
Tulane Cannot Be Integrated By Legal Force
The endowment of Paul Tulane, which got the university started as a private institution, specified that the school could admit only white students.
Ellis last spring succeeded Judge J. Skelly Wright, who moved up to the Federal Appeal Court bench in Washington. Wright ruled last March 29 that two Negro women, Barbara Marie Guillory and Pearlie Hardin Elloie, both of New Orleans, must be admitted to the white school.
NEW ORLEANS — (UPI) — A federal judge yesterday overturned a decision of his predecessor and ruled Tulane University could not be forced to admit Negroes.
The point appeared moot, however, since the heirs entered an answer during the proceedings saying they waived any right to enforce racial restrictions and indicated they had no opposition to admission of Negroes.
John Nelson, attorney for the Negroes, disagreed. He said the heirs of Paul Tulane were not bound by Ellis' decision, allowing voluntary admission of Negroes, and could file suit in civil court to prevent it.
Nelson filed an appeal with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals here. He said he would ask for an early hearing.
Ellis rejected points made by Wright in Wright's decision on the case.
Nelson criticized the decision, and said it "opens the door to new and more subtle forms of racial discrimination in higher education."
But Ellis ruled that Tulane's tax exemptions were not unique and the public officials on the board had no effect on the school's policies.
Private Donations Pass Stadium Goal
The KU Athletic Corporation Board has been assured that it will receive the $200,000 goal in private contributions for the expansion of Memorial Stadium.
The announcement was made in letters to members of the board from Eugene W. Morgan, vice-president and treasurer of the Spencer Chemical Co., in Kansas City, Mo. Morgan was appointed by the Board to supervise the state-wide fund drive.
"THE ENDOWMENT ASSOCIATION, and all others vitally interested, may be assured that a minimum of $200,000 will be paid on the subscriptions." Morgan wrote. "The ratio of payments to pledges will be very high. We will continue to obtain new subscriptions and these will more than take care of the very few non-payments we are likely to have."
Thus far 839 subscribers have promised $210,255. Of that sum,
$27,306.01 had been received by Nov. 27.
The stadium addition will be financed jointly through the athletic corporation's reserve funds, a 20-year loan from the Endowment Association, and through the private donations. The financing from each source is not to exceed $200,000.
Bidding on the addition will close Dec. 11. Bid selection date is Dec. 13.
THE ADDITION WILL extend westward from the top rim of the stadium 27 rows and will extend 10 feet beyond the north edge of the playing field and 40 feet beyond the south edge of the field. It should be completed in time for the 1963 football season.
Included in the proposal is a triple-deck press box, 97 feet long, 20 feet deep, and centering on the 50- yard line.
Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry and chairman of the athletic board, gave four reasons why expansion is necessary.
- An expanding student body that is anticipated to grow to 20,000 by 1975. (At present there are 10,400 students on the Lawrence campus.)
- A demand for seats that cannot presently be met.
- Increased population. "We feel we are in the middle of the fastest-growing area in the Big 8. Planners tell us that someday there will be a continuous city from Kansas City to Topeka."
- The desire to compete with the Big 10 not only academically but athletically.
THE ADDITION WILL BRING the stadium's permanent seating capacity to 42,900. Presently there are 36,400 permanent seats. The non-permanent bleachers will raise the capacity 2,000.
The contributions to Nov. 20 are as follows;
- 2 subscriptions of $3,000 each
- 26 subscriptions of $1,000 each
- 697 subscriptions of $100-$800 totaling $171.135
- 96 subscriptions of under $100 totaling $3.355
Eighteen other subscribers have promised $3,765 since Nov. 20.
Egyptian Government Is Solid, Expert Says
Egyptian President Gamal Nassar is here to stay, a Middle East expert said yesterday.
Alan W. Horton of the American Universities Field Staff said at a press conference in Flint Hall:
"Cairo is a pretty stable, ingrained regime that will be around for a long time."
THE UNITED STATES, he said,
is supporting Nassar's government
because it seems to be an invest-
ment in the future.
Horton cited the Egyptian school system as a major effort by the government to educate the peasant and at the same time draw him to the government.
"Egypt is busy making patriots out of peasants and consequently has little time to make trouble in the Middle east," Horton said.
"AN EGYPTIAN might very well die for a family feud, but not for the government," Horton said of the average Egyptian villager. Through the schools much of this sectionalism is supplanted by a new nationalism.
Horton said, however, that the amount of political indoctrination in the schools is no greater than American students are confronted with in their civic courses.
At the Faculty Forum yesterday
Horton said Nasser is a political "pro," an inspiration to his people and a devoted family man who envisions a "New Egypt."
The "New Egypt" that Nasser sees, Horton said, will be a product of a nationalistic revolution which is now underway in the country.
JUST AFTER THE ATTACK on the Suez Canal in 1956, he said, there was an emergence of neutralism and a resurgence of nationalism in the minds of intellectual Egyptians.
It was in early 1958. Horton saud, that Nasser reluctantly agreed to an association of Syria and Egypt into the United Arab Republic.
He had insisted on a union rather than a confederation.
Now, Horton said, Nasser is concerned with leading the rest of the Arab world toward an Egyptian-type revolution.
In doing this, he said, Nasser is aiming specifically at what he calls "reactionary" governments that exist among Arab countries.
THE INTERNATIONAL problems of Egypt, he said, are based on one economic problem: "There are too many people for too little land." There is only one-quarter acre of land for each Egyptian.
