KU Phone Operators Praise Dial System
By Don Black
KU students may still be confused with the new Centrex telephone system but switchboard operators have only praise for the plan initiated this fall.
"It's a lot more efficient than the old way," said Jerry Loch, Louisburg senior and switchboard man- $ ^{4}$ for Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
"The straight dialing of university numbers saves a lot of time."
THE NEW SYSTEM eliminates dialing the KU operator to get an on-campus office. The KU numbers may be reached by dialing UNiversity 4 plus the remaining four numbers. For example: UN 4-1234.
To get a number by the old system, the caller had to dial VI 3-2700 to get the KU operator and then ask her to dial the particular office number.
Miss Capitola Fletcher, KU chief operator, said the new system has lightened the load of the six operators immensely. No longer must they relay the outside calls into the KU system.
"We get many calls trying to reach KU by the old method. They have to be told and retold to dial UNiversity 4 plus the four remaining numbers."
"NOW OUR major service to the public is an information agency." Miss Fletcher said.
She said many people call KU information operators to ask for miscellaneous facts about the University such as dates of football games.
"THEY SEEM to think we are a general information office and not a telephone office. Usually we direct them to people who can help them." Miss Fletcher said.
Some students request operators to awaken them in the morning with a telephone call.
"Id hate to imagine working on the old system," said Cathie Muell, Des Moines, Iowa, freshman and switchboard manager of Gertrude Sellards Pearson.
"Calling the KU operator each time would take about a minute of waiting for each call. Now we can dial direct."
Officers and committees of the Associated Women Students (AWS) will introduce freshmen women to the organization's personnel and programs tonight in the Kansas Union ballroom.
Miss Muell is working on the switchboard for the first time this fall. She said the 15 telephone lines of GSP are full every evening during the hours from 5 to 7 p.m. even with the new system.
AWS to Explain Plans To Freshmen Tonight
Women from Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Grace Pearson residence halls will attend a 7 p.m. meeting. At 8:15 p.m. freshmen from Corbin hall and the scholarship halls will attend a similar meeting.

YD Official Says KU Vote Needed
KU must have a strong Young Democratic organiazion or the entire state party will falter, said John Ivan, president of the Kansas Young Democrats in a meeting last night in the Kansas Union.
"The purpose of the YD club is to deliver an effective vote," he told 40 members of the local group.
The KU organization must accept and carry responsibility for the success of the party despite failures and disappointments they may meet in the beginning, he said.
Max Logan, Holliday senior, and president of the KU group, outlined a registration drive to encourage 1000 students to register and vote in the upcoming 1564 elections.

156 Negroes Jailed In Alabama Unrest
By United Press International
A new racial troublespot loomed in Alabama today—the little cotton-cattle town of Selma.
AT BIRMINGHAM, eight Negro homes and four automobiles were damaged today by two explosions. The harassment tactics snapped a utility pole and gouged a crater in the ground. No one was injured.
Sheriff's deputies, a volunteer posse and state troopers yesterday arrested 156 Negroes for staging antisegregation demonstrations. But Negro leaders were not deterred and said there would be another demonstration today.
The explosions occurred just hours before the two-man Presidential team of Kenneth Royall and Earl Blakie was to begin separate meetings with white and Negro leaders in an effort to work out some basis for talks on the city's racial problems.
Sheriff James G. Clark Jr, vowed to fill up the jails in Selma and neighboring prison camps, if necessary, to put down the protest marches.
A federal court at Montgomery last night issued a preliminary restraining order prohibiting Alabama Gov. George Wallace from interfering with public school integration in Alabama. The order was considered somewhat stronger than a temporary restraining order that had been in effect against the fiery segregationist governor.
The Alabama Supreme Court ruled yesterday that Wallace has the con-
situational authority to close the state's public schools, if such closure is necessary to keep the peace. The court also said Wallace had the authority to send such forces as are available to him into Alabama municipalities to preserve law and order.

Shreveport, La. — Police today were ready to use tear gas and mounted officers to break up unauthorized racial demonstrations by Negroes. This segregated Northwest Louisiana city was hit by rock-throwing demonstrators for the third straight day yesterday.
Greensboro, N.C. — James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), was expected to arrive this weekend and a local Negro leader indicated demonstrations might be staged at that time.
Oxford, Miss. — Cleve McDowell,
the University of Mississippi's only
Negro student, was expelled yesterday on a charge of carrying a pistol to class. The expulsion leaves Mississippi with the only totally segregated public school system in the nation.
OTHER DEVELOPMENTS;
Elizabeth City, N.S. — Police issued a citation to 222 Negro demonstrators taken into custody yesterday following mass sit-in attempts at several downtown eating establishments.
New Orleans — Tulane University yesterday said a Negro had been admitted to Sophie Newcomb College, its woman's division, for the first time in Newcomb's 77-year history.

School Asks Own Grade Setup
The School of Law has applied to the University Senate for permission to devise its own grading system.
The application will go to the advisory committee of the senate next week. The Senate will consider the request in November, according to James K. Logan, dean of the law school.
The law school has been a graduate school since the fall semester of 1958, Dean Logan said, and wants
the privilege accorded other graduate schools in experimenting with its grading system.
Prof. Caws
If the application is passed, the new system will allow one and one-half points for a high "C" grade, instead of the present one point.
THE CANTON BULLDOGS won the first National Football League title in 1922 with a record of 10 wins, no losses and two ties.
