WEATHER AIDES WORKMEN—The mild temperatures of the past months have helped to speed up work on the new Blake Hall. Workmen say they are ahead of schedule and are already beginning work on the fourth floor of the six-floor structure. A crane is shown lifting concrete to cover forms on the floor of the building.
Republican Praises CYR Conservatism
America's greatest hope is the surge of conservative thinking on the part of college students, the state chairman of the Kansas Republican party said last night.
Richard Rogers of Manhattan made the comment to the KU chapter of the Collegiate Young Republicans last night.
The students in our colleges are intelligent conservatives, not radical ones. Rogers said.
ROGERS PRAISED the enthusiasm and cooperation of CYR members who work in political campaigns.
When the senior members of the Republican party want something done, they have learned to ask the college students and the women in the organization.
In discussing President Kennedy's fiscal policies, Rogers said the President's current programs have resulted in chaos.
"I DONT think he knows how to unshackle the productivity of the nation," Rogers said.
Relating national policies of the Republican party to the CYR members, Rogers advised the group they should be "conservatives" in fiscal matters.
"The Big Brother approach of the government worries me because of what it does to the receivers," he said.
TO TAKE from one man and give to another is to rob the first man of initiative, the second man of his integrity and both of them of their moral value, Rogers said.
However, he explained, students can be liberal on other problems such as civil rights. They can be for state's rights as long as those rights do not trample on individual rights.

COMMENTING on the 1964 political campaigns, Rogers said he was pleased to see Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York making an aggressive campaign and with Sen. Goldwater answering strongly.
"I hope they get into a real battle on the national level," he grinned.
Rogers next turned to state politics, and borrowed a space-age term to describe the situation.
"All systems are go in Kansas," he said. The path is united and it is giving the people fine leadership.
HOWEVER, he cautioned, if the Republican Party fails to provide good government or if it does not work hard and remain united, it can lose in 1964 elections.
Rogers, commenting on the outlook for the upcoming state elections, said the party has a number of able candidates for governor of Kansas.
"Im for slam-bang primaries," Rogers said. A large number of candidates discussing issues makes a better campaign since issues are presented to the voters. The candidates want the Republican nomination in this state because the party has the muscle to elect them to state offices, he said.

Russian Mig Shoots Down Iranian Plane, Killing Two
TEHRAN, Iran—(UPI)—A Soviet MIG fighter plane accompanied by two other Soviet military aircraft shot down an Iranian civilian plane yesterday in Iranian territory, killing two aerial map surveyors, officials said today.
Government officials said Iran was protesting "strongly" to the Soviet Union over the shooting which they aid without warning.
They said it had been "indubitably established" that the Iranian plane was shot down at least 15 miles away from the Soviet border and that the first indication the pilot had that he was being followed came
THE SOVIET leader's bid for "businesslike cooperation and friendly relations" between Russia and the United States was contained in a message from Khrushchev to the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship.
"We are still firmly convinced that UP has a potential for concrete achievement and we intend to do everything we can to make this potential a reality," Whitman said.
This was the only statement Whitman and other party leaders would make following the campus council meeting in the Kansas Union.
ALL THE NEW executives have been active in campus politics in the past. Whitman and Miss Flood have served on the ASC and Hoffman was an unsuccessful candidate from the large men's residence hall district in last week's election Whitman was also UP's candidate for student body president last spring.
UP Council Names New Party Heads
Vox president, Tom Bornholdt Topeka senior, said the new UP organizational structure should prove more effective than that which preceded it.
when the MIG opened fire on him.
MOSCOW, — (UPI) — Premier Nikita K. Shrushchev has urged the United States to join with the Soviet Union in easing world tensions by settling disputes peacefully, it was disclosed today.
The letter, dated Nov. 19th, was regarded here as significant since it was sent two days after the 300th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet Union.
University Party (UP) changed hands last night.
The party's campus council accepted the resignations of Larry Bast, Topeka sophomore, and Charles Marvin, Lawrence senior, as Greek and Independent co-chairmen.
Khrushevhev's conciliatory message on preserving American-Soviet friendship "despite the differences of our social systems" came in the aftermath of the arrest of Yale Prof. Frederick C. Barhoorn
when the MIG opened fire on him.
Eyewitnesses among a crowd of about 50 persons said they saw the three Soviet planes cross the Iranian border and chase the twin-engine survey aircraft.
REORGANIZATION of UP answered questions about its future raised last week when UP candidates took only ten All Student Council (ASC) seats to 17 for Vox Populi in the ASC living group election.
Named as permanent general secretary was Charles Whitman, Shawnee-Mission senior. Other new officers are Fred Hoffman, Topeka senior, temporary Greek co-chairman; Susan Flood, Hays senior, temporary Greek co-chairman, and Marilyn Roy, Shawnee-Mission junior, secretary.
Russians Ask US Cooperation
THEY SAID THE MIG fighter opened machine gun fire on the Iranian plane which immediately caught fire and crashed at a point north of the town of Meshed, well inside Iranian territory.
Two Iranian specialists were killed in the crash, officials said, but the pilot survived, being hurled about 50 yards out of his burning cockpit and picked up unconscious by onlookers. He was hospitalized with injuries.
The unexplained incident came while Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev was visiting Iran on a seven-day goodwill visit. Sources said Brezhnev seemed amazed when Iranian authorities informed him. He was reported to have expressed his regrets and said he would order Moscow to investigate the matter thoroughly.
EYEWITNESS reports said many of the spent machine gun shells were picked up by the surprised crowd after the Soviet planes had returned across the border to their own territory.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined comment today on the incident. It was understood to be waiting a full report from the crash scene before deciding on any official action.
A team of experts flown to the scene from Tehran to investigate the incident was known to have confirmed that the plane definitely was shot down. Officials said the incident occurred at 8:25 a.m. yesterday (11:55 p.m. EST Tuesday).
THE CIVILIAN Iranian plane was mapping areas north of Meshed and around the border town of Darrehgaz, near the Soviet frontier, when the three planes appeared, officials said.
Meanwhile, apparently disregarding the incident today, Brezhnev addressed the Iranian Parliament and emphasized the friendship, "good neighborly relations" and "complete mutual trust" that he said existed between the Soviet Union and this Middle Eastern nation.
The Soviet President conveyed "heartfelt greetings and best wishes" from the Kremlin to Iranian leaders, and paid special tribute to the Shah for his efforts promoting and consolidating good relations.
HE PRAISED the Shah for under-taking a commitment not to allow any foreign state to maintain rocket bases on Iranian territory.
Iran is a member of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) which includes Britain, Turkey and Pakistan. The United States is a member of CENTO's defense committee.
Tonight, after receiving reports from the investigating team, government officials said the survey plane did not stray over the Soviet border prior to being attacked.
The pilot's condition deteriorated today and tonight he was in in "grave" condition in hospital, authorities said.
"In light of this situation, Iran is strongly protesting to the Soviet Union," an official said.
The early morning attack occurred near the Iranian border town of Darrech Gaz, about 100 miles southeast of Ashkhabad, capital of the Soviet Turkmen Republic. This is about mid-way on the long Iran-Ossiet frontier between the Caspian Sea and Afghanistan.
Weather
The weather bureau predicted mostly cloudy weather through tomorrow with rain and possibly some snow developing. Temperatures will drop tonight and tomorrow with the low tonigh near 30.
KU Freshman Begins College Studies Early
By Margaret Hughes
Imagine having 21 hours of credit before even enrolling as a freshman at KU.
Judy Thompson, Lawrence freshman, took special "double A" courses as a junior and senior at Lawrence High school. Then she earned 21 hours of "credit by examination:" 6 hours in English, 5 hours in history, and 10 hours in calculus.
Her 21 hours is the highest number ever credited to a student entering KU.
"I guess I'm a sophomore now," Miss Thompson said. "But it's really not much of an advantage."
She is also ahead of most freshmen in her language courses. Enrolled in Spanish 6 this semester, Miss Thompson first learned Spanish when her family went to Latin America during her seventh grade year. Her father, Rufus H. Thompson is professor of botany.
"I've been taking Spanish courses ever since," Miss Thompson said. "I may major in Spanish. I'd like a career in the Peace Corps or as a language teacher."
A Watkins Scholar, Miss Thompson hopes to study in Spain her junior year. "If they don't have a junior-year-abroad program in Spain by then, I'd like to go to Costa Rica," she said.
Her high school courses were in accelerated classes, some affiliated with KU courses. She took KU exams in calculus and College Board exams in English and American history to receive her advance credit.

The program was first given formal recognition as a result of pressures from the college preparatory schools in the East. Now several high schools are beginning to provide college-credit opportunities to the best of their college-bound students;
