(Continued from page 1)
THE COMMITTEE pians to give special emphasis to the KU Peace Corps project in Costa Rica. The project will get underway Friday when 41 volunteers begin training on the campus for assignments in Costa Rican secondary and university education.
Swan said Samuel Babbitt, University division director of the Peace Corps' public affairs office in Washington, commented the KU committee has the "best college committee organization in the nation."
This year the Washington office selected the KU committee to compile the results of a survey sent to 2,000 colleges and universities. Results of the survey on interest and participation in the Corps programs will be sent to Washington.
Swan said the Washington office spent "over $2,000" on a pamphlet "Peace Corps and the University of Kansas." The pamphlet, which tells about the KU Peace Corps project, activities of the KU committee and the Corps program, will be distributed soon. Swan said the purpose of the pamphlet is to "assist other schools in setting up Corps activities and committees on their campuses."

THE MANEUVER was to have included landings by Marines on the island of Vieques. The Defense Department said the exercise was cancelled because the ships had been scattered by a "hurricane."
Kennedy was assured in advance of bipartisan support in whatever foreign policy move he might take. The GOP Congressional Campaign Committee pledged "wholehearted Republican support for any strong stand the President wants to take on Cuba and Berlin."
The statement was issued by Rep. Bob Wilson, R-Calif., chairman of the committee, as the congressional leaders were hurrying back to the Capital.
JFK to Speak to Nation-
The President also conferred this morning with several of his highest advisers, including Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara and Atty. Gen Robert F. Kennedy.
SEN. KENNETH B. KEATING.
R-N.Y., said he believed the crisis might concern his recent report that six intermediate range missile bases were under construction in Cuba.
Keating said in Oneida, N.Y., that the bases would be operational within six months and that their missiles would have a 2,000 to 2,500 mile range.
Kennedy up to now has maintained the Soviet buildup in Cuba was defensive but he has said the U.S. "hands off" position could change if the buildup took on military offensive capabilities.
Two other congressmen said Cuba was the "best bet." They were House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck and Senate Democratic Leader Hubert Humphrey. They spoke to reporters in Sioux Falls S.D., en route back to Washington.

"This proposal has been recommended by the Federal Housing and Home Finance agency in Fort Worth, Texas, which holds most of the bonds," Nichols said.
Wilson said the Regents' approval of the $800,000 allocation means that KU has "the blessing of the Board of Regents to go into the details necessary for securing a new building in 1965."
Wilson said the University has been "trying to keep the cost of the new dormitories to less than $4,000 per student."
The University now houses 3359 students in residence and scholarship halls, he said. The University, therefore, is well within the provision of the law which limits University housing, he said.
He said dormitory rates to students are determined by operating

costs and by bond retirement costs. But he said the dormitories are not making profits.
"We just want to develop enough revenue to pay off the bond issues," he said. "On the basis of services now provided, we do not plan any increase in student rates for the 1963-64 school year."
The Board of Regents also allocated $290,000 to Kansas State Teachers' College of Emporia,$360,000 to Kansas State College of Pittsburg,$200,000 to Kansas State University and $325,000 to Fort Hays State College.
