CAPT. GRUBER said the pledge cards were mailed to faculty and staff members on October 9th. The cards asked for either cash donations or a pledge to pay an amount over an extended period of time.
The drive is to end on October 31st and those with cards are to mail them as soon as possible to make up the outstanding 25 per cent of the quota, Gruber said.

Weather forecasters said the need for rain was still urgent in Kansas.

War and Peace Talk Stresses Rule of Law
The "rule of law" must prevail within a society if its laws are to be regarded as effective, Errol E. Harris, professor of philosophy, said ast night.
Prof. Harris made this remark in his sixth lecture in his series on The Philosophy of War and Peace"n Dyche auditorium.
"LAW, SO FAR as it is effective, maintains peace and harmony within the community. Failure to do his is the breakdown of law and order. It is, therefore, an essential part of the concept of law that the Rule of law' prevail," Prof. Harris said.
Prof. Harris describes the "rule of law" as embodying four requirements:
- Covering all the relationships between citizens.
- Applying equally to all persons at all times and places and cannot be indiscriminately alerted to suit circumstances.
- If a code of rules and legal principles exist and are known to men it does not follow that a political system of laws exist, Prof. Harris said. He added that law must be enforced if it is to be considered law in the political sense.
- Subjecting the magistrates and officers to the law.
- Falling only within the law.
In order to be effective, law must be known. Prof. Harris said. He explained the need for a legislative organ to make and pronounce the laws so every member of the society can reasonably be expected to know what it is.
He explained further that when uncertainty exists and disputes arise as to the meaning, application, and precise obligations imposed by the law, there is need for an authoritative interpreter.
LAW MUST also be enforceable to be effective. Prof. Harris said.
Prof. Harris said using natural law as a possible standard of law has many shortcomings of natural law as an objective criterion.
"NOWHERE IS there any indis-tutable statement of what natural law enjoins," Prof. Harris said,
"Therefore the notion is just as subjective and variable as any other conception of moral or legal standards," he added.
Theorists who have tried to state the contents and provisions of natural law have not agreed among themselves.
Prof. Harris will continue his lectures at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, in Dyche auditorium.
His next topic will be status and efficacy in international law.
Stevenson's Bump Seen as Accident
DALLAS — (UPI) — Mrs. Cora Frederickson said today she did not deliberately strike U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson with an anti-U.N. sign. She said someone in the crowd pushed the
Stevenson was struck with a sign stating "Get the U.N. out of the U.S." after he made a speech last night celebrating United Nations Day in Dallas.
POLICE LED Mrs. Frederickson out of the crowd after the incident. She was not arrested.
The crowd gathered around Stevenson after he left Memorial Auditorium. He was cursed, booed and spat upon.
"Someone must have pushed the sign down on him (Stevenson)," Mrs. Frederickson said. "There were a bunch of colored people standing around in back of me, but I couldn't say who pushed the sign. I just know I didn't to it."
She said that the near-riot was started by pro-U.N. people. "Some of the things they said were awful. They called us Reds and Communist and unchristian."
"YOU KNOW how things happen all of a sudden?" Mrs. Frederickson, 47, wife of an insurance man, said. "Somebody told me that a group of colored people wanted to start something."
Mrs. Frederickson said she was not a "joiner" and did not belong to the John Birch Society or any other house.
"I'm against the U.N. because it has not been beneficial. When they drew up the charter, they goofed, that's all." Mrs. Frederickson said. "I am in favor of the Alger (U.S. Rep. Bruce Alger, R-Tex.) bill to get the U.S. out of the U.N. I'm a conservative, and in the past few years have voted Republican, but I don't belong to the party."
"I don't go around hitting people. We were all in the crowd before we knew it and somebody pushed me," Mrs. Frederickson said.
"ALL I WANT to do is get America back on its feet. I just can't understand all those liberals and their ideas," she said.
Mrs. Frederickson said that after Stevenson was hit with the sign, a
policeman told her "step over here lady" and she moved out of the crowd and went home.
A Dallas Times Herald reporter and Dallas attorney Murray Schueth were congratulating Stevenson on his speech when a woman rushed through the crowd and brought the sign crashing down on the heads of all three.
About 70 demonstrators shoved and jostled Stevenson, who spoke to commemorate the U.N. Day in Texas.
"IT WAS A concerted action by members of (former Mat. Gi.) Edwin Walker's following and the John Birchers," Jack Goren, president of the sponsoring Dallas U.N. Association, said.
"All they've done is disgrace Dallas and the good manners of Texans and Americans."
Stevenson said he did not understand why persons of different points of view showed such "bad manners."
Frank B. McGehee, leader of a conservative movement known as the National Indignation Convention, rose from the second row of Dallas Memorial Auditorium as Stevenson prepared to start speaking.
"Mr. Ambassador," McGehee said, "I have a question."
"I will be glad to give you equat time when I am through," Stevenson said.
AGAIN McGEHEE rose and started to address Stevenson.
"Throw him out," cried persons throughout the crowd of 5,000.
"I don't have to come from Illinois to teach Texans manners, do I?" Stevenson asked.
BULLETIN
Two pumpers and an aerial truck were called out at about 12:45 p.m. today to put out a blaze at the Nuclear Reactor Center.
Damage was estimated at about $15.

The blaze was burned out before the fire department arrived.
Freshman Sets 10-Hour Record
James Ferree, Kansas City freshman, set an individual talking record of his own this week as he contributed 10 hours to bring the Joseph R. Pearson-Margaret Hashinger "talkathon" total past the half-way mark.
The "talkathon" total reached 240 hours at 1 p.m. today on its way to the 422 hour record set by Templin and Lewis halls in 1961.
THE FORMER INDIVIDUAL record of eight hours of talking was made during the Templin-Lewis record "talkathon."
Ferree said he did not plan to try for the individual record. He was talking during his designated half-hour at 2 a.m. Tuesday and the next man did not show up. He talked until 5 a.m. before anyone came to talk.
Feree said it was then he decided to try for the record since he had a good start.
"I got sleepy," Ferree said, "and my ears got so sore that I had to chang ears every half-hour or so."
FERREE SAID HE discussed every subject imaginable with 20 different coeds that talked to him. He discussed whether the women's dorms should have closing hours at 11 p.m. with one coed
Ferree said he lost a lot of sleep in the process of setting the record but made up for it the next day. He said he might get a date with some of the girls.
A LEE COHLMIA, Wichita senior and JRP social chairman, said that enthusiasm has dropped a little but he does not anticipate any difficulty. The hours for talking are all signed up for the next three days
"As soon as we pass the 300 hour mark, spirit will pick up and we'll go on to set our record," Cohlmia said.
The "talkathon," which began on Oct. 15 at 1 p.m., was started in order to build up hall spirit. The present record "talkathon" was set in December, 1961, in an effort to raise money for the Campus Chest charity fund.
