Bright ASC Future Forecast by Dickson
Page 3
Jerry Dickson. Wichita senior, outlined a bright prospect for student government in his "state of the school" message last night to the All Student Council.
Dickson, student body president, told the council that he looks for student government to rise to "new heights" this year. One of the principal reasons which he cited for the improvement was the attitude of Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
"Chancellor Wescoe has great faith in the students and he feels they can act for themselves." Dickson said. "The chancellor believes in student opinion and rights and will allow more opportunity for these," he added.
DICKSON CITED his coming trip to the East this weekend as an example of what can be looked for in the future of student government.
Dickson will speak to alumni organizations in Boston, Cleveland, and Detroit.
He will discuss the campus in general and what KU students are doing and how they feel.
Dickson also tied this trip with his campaign promise to expand the Statewide Activities program. He said his trip is an example of what can be done in the area of public relations such as through Statewide Activities.
OTHER AREAS which were touched upon by Dickson as those in which work will be done by the council this year were:
- Creation of the position of a Civil Rights Coordinator who would function as a liaison between such groups as the ASC Human Rights Committee and the independent Civil Rights Council and be generally in charge of problems dealing with human rights.
- Attempt to organize a Big Eight College Bowl competition.
- Continue to support People-to-People.
- Work on the problem of opening campus facilities for night use by students.
- Active work by the newly created Current Events Committee.
- More work investigating the chances for having a group student life insurance plan.
Cost of Living Hovers at Record
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The cost of living, which had been rising gradually since January, levelled off in August and hovered at the record high set in July, the Labor Department has reported.
It said average prices were unchanged for food, housing, medical care and personal care. Advances for transportation, reading and recreation were offset by lower average prices for apparel.
As a result, the department's overall consumer price index remained unchanged at 105.5 per cent of 1957-58 prices.
ROBERT MYERS, deputy commissioner of labor statistics, said the index probably would rise next month because of higher price tags for food, gasoline and automobiles.
One item which advanced in price during August was meats. Myers said, however, that this did not reflect the recent farmers "strike" in the midwest.
New York Central's Old 999 Finds a Home—Closes an Era
CHICAGO—(UPI)—A famous old girl has found a permanent home, recalling a famous day which millions of railroad buffs—most of them not even born at the time—will never forget.
The girl is the New York Central's engine 999. The day—her day made her probably the most famous locomotive in railroad history.
ON MAY 10, 1893, during a trial run from Rochester to Buffalo, N. Y., 999 hit a straight stretch of 36 mile track and roared to a world speed record with a mark of $ 112 \frac{1}{2} $ miles per hour.
The news was flashed around the world and overnight, she became the most famous locomotive in the world.
Thirty years later the 62-ton giant was ready for the scrap heap. But someone who knew her place in history decided she deserved a better fate.
So she was rebuilt and exhibited around the world. Yesterday she reached the end of her travels.
ALFRED E. PERLMAN, president of the New York Central, formally presented the 40-foot iron celebrity to the Museum of Science and Industry.
Perlman, at a lunch attended by railroad leaders, recalled that famous day when 999, pulling the Empire State Express, became the first engine to thrill passengers with a ride exceeding 100 miles an hour.
Engine 999 had been built for speed, developed by the famous locomotive designer, William Buchanan. With engineer Charley Hogan at the throttle, she flashed toward the 36-mile straightaway, just west of Batavia, N. Y.
Then Hogan opened her up all the way. A mile zipped by, Perlman said, in "31.2 seconds, which signified a new world's record of $112\frac{1}{2}$ miles an hour. Engine 999 did all that the builders had hoped—and much more."
"The men in the cars behind held stopwatches" Perlman related "as one mile passed in 42 seconds, another in 38."
Although her record was eclipsed, 999's feat is to be remembered because it ushered in the age of speed and progress.

"We want to take James Meredith on the direction of a federal court order and have him registered as a student at the University." U.S. Marshal James McShane told Johnson.
"I am going to have to refuse on the same grounds the governor did," Johnson said.
Johnson said that admitting the Negro at this time would possibly result in violence and said "I refuse because of imminent breach of peace."

(Continued from page 1) a deliberately defiant act of protest against federal interference in state affairs.
Meredith, who was refused admission by Barnett here last Thursday and at the state college board offices in Jackson yesterday, flew here today from New Orleans. He arrived in a car, accompanied by deputy U.S. Marshals, at 10:55 a.m.
He was stopped by state troopers a few feet outside the campus entrance and Johnson, parked in an auto nearby, stepped out of his car.
"WE ARE NOT GOING TO let him in," Johnson said. "You want to make a big show for the whole country to see," he said. "We have a duty to perform."
Meredith -
John Doar, attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, then stepped forward and reminded Johnson that Meredith's admission had been ordered by federal courts. Doar then attempted to serve on Johnson a contempt citation directed against Barnett.

The meeting started out amicably with Johnson and McShane, but quickly turned into a test of wills.
JOHNSON REFUSED IT.
McShane repeatedly tried to shove through the line of unarmed state troopers but made no headway. Meredith appeared calm and stayed behind McShane as he walked from one point to another in the line trying to find a hole.
McShane said "Governor, are these men (the state troopers) acting under your authority?"
"THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE of the possibility of danger to lives," said Johnson, a slender man with sharp facial lines.
Finally, Doar said "We want to call upon you for the last time to let this man in."
After about five minutes of pushing and shoving, the marshals and Meredith got in their cars and left the edge of the campus while a ripping of handclapping came from the plainclothesmen and state troopers.
Barnett stood firm in his open defiance of the executive and judicial branches of the federal government despite an implied warning by the administration that it would send troops, if necessary.
U.S. Manned Moon Shot Will Be Subject of Speech
Meredith's car drove away.
Lt. Col. Jack T. Gilstrap, USAF retired, will speak here Friday afternoon about America's future manned moon shot. The talk will begin at 3:30 p.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall at Murphy and will be accompanied by slides and films showing how Saturn rockets are produced.

"I think the clause is discriminatory," the chancellor said. "But our first problem is to find out if the state has the authority to turn down a bequest?"

Bias Charge Called Unjust
The president of the KU chapter of Delta Gamma sorority said today that the discrimination charge leveled at the Wisconsin University chapter of her sorority is unjust.
Monday, the University of Wisconsin Human Rights Council asked that the Delta Gamma sorority be banned from WU because rules of the national organization violate "anti-bias" codes.
"The people who are criticizing us do not know enough about it to make a just criticism."
"WE DO NOT have discriminatory clauses and everyone that is a Delta Gamma knows this," Sherri Dobbins, Lawrence senior and DG president said.
"PERSONALLY, I think it's ridiculous," Miss Dobbins said. "We do not have a discriminatory clause. I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill."
She said that their national organization has released statements to the press and sent letters to chancellors and university presidents informing them that there is no discriminatory clause in their constitution.
She said that the Beloit chapter was placed on suspension, not because they pledged a Negro, but because of 10 violations of national regulations, which do not include that of pledging a Negro.

The Gant Story
We believe that Gant shirts have a certain well-bred look that distinguishes them from all others. Careful tailoring and adherence to a strict tradition are qualities indigenous to Gant. The emphasis here is on meticulous detail in a heritage of conservatism.
Do you like a really neat, well fitting collar? Softly flared collar construction is gently RIGHT. Do you want to hang your shirt up? A trim hanger loop sees to that. Room to breathe? Oversize body construction is the answer. There's a full length box pleat back for trimmess, too. Precise stitch—let's the easy barrel cuffs roll at mid-point.
The Gant shirt has been designed to serve you through a lifetime of correct dressing. There is painstaking workman- ship in every fine Gant shirt...it comes from the expert craft of New England's finest shirtsmakers. The craft explains why the careful details of these Gant shirts have been many times imitated but never duplicated.
