U.S. Behind in Testing
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — Famed physicist Dr. Edward Teller said yesterday that nuclear testing must continue until some supranational authority is created to keep peace — and warned that "lack of consistent testing" is likely to make the United States "a second-rate power."
"It is my guess, and it's only a guess, that the Russians are ahead of us in nuclear weapons today," he said in a speech before the National Conference of United Press International publishers and editors.
TELLER, A pioneer in the development of the hydrogen bomb and presently associate director of the University of California's Livermore Radiation Laboratory, said that the U.S. tests in the Pacific this year "have not been quite satisfactory."
Teller said one of the essential reasons for this was the fact that during the test moratorium "we were not allowed to make thorough
Owl Society Selects Five
The Owl Society, junior men's honorary group, has chosen five new initiates, raising the club's membership to 25.
Robert Cathey, Shawnee Mission junior and president of the organization, said its purpose is to recognize and promote friendship and service among junior class men.
The new members were selected on the basis of leadership, activities, character and a grade point average of 1.5 or above, from applicants suggested by house presidents, deans and counselors.
Final selection was made on the basis of the applications and personal appraisals of the candidates by club members.
The new members are Jerald Pullins, Council Grove; Robert Swan, Topeka; F. Alan Stamper, Plainville; John Magill, Shawnee Mission, and David White, Prairie Village.
preparations for the eventuality that we might have to resume training."
Teller said he was unable to give many details about test results because of security regulations, but he did say they accomplished "quite a bit."
"We have improved the effectiveness of our explosives," he said.
THUS. THE physicist said, the United States has now tested nuclear weapons which are more powerful, cheaper, more easily transported and more easily concealed.
The "Ole Mise" riots will be discussed at the first Civil Rights Council meeting at 7 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Union.
CRC Will Discuss Mississippi Rioting
Don Warner, Topeka senior and Council chairman, said Council membership qualifications will also be discussed.
Warner also said members will be selected to represent KU at the fourth annual Kansas conference on civil rights Saturday, Oct. 13, in the Kansas Union. The theme of the all-day program is "New Thresholds to Equal Opportunities."
Virgil Godfrey, who plays Nickles in "J. B..." is leaving a devil of a time this week.

Godfrey Has Devil of a Time With Role in McLeish Play
Prof. Godfrey, an assistant professor of speech and drama, has been the set designer and consultant for the University Theatre the past six years.
THE DEVIL is a part Prof. Godfrey is "eminently qualified to play," says William Reardon, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the current production.
Prof. Reardon was referring to Prof. Godfrey's flair for playing devils.
In his own defense, Prof. Godfrey protested:
"Contrary to popular belief, this (Nickles) is the first fully developed devil's role I've ever played in my life."
But Prof. Godfrey has played a pseudo-devil twice before, in "Don Juan in Hell" from George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman." The first time was during the 1958-59 University Theatre session and the other time was last March. He played Nickles last summer here.
"YOU HAVE to maintain the tension in the character, yet not intrude on the scene."
Prof. Godfrey's performance as Nickles initiates a new University Theatre practice. Members of the department of speech and drama will appear in three productions this year, "J. B.," "The Egg" and "Cyrano de Bergerac," to give students the chance to work with seasoned actors and to enable members of the faculty to practice their art.
