Tired Freshmen Huddle Over Tire
By Charles Corcoran
Three figures huddled on the sidewalk west of Strong Hall late Wednesday night. The murmur of male voices punctuated the still night air as one of the figures bent to write something on the sidewalk in chalk.
"That's 800. It won't be long now," a voice said.
THE FIGURES MOVED on, one rolling an automobile tire, the second marking the tire's path every few inches.
Tire thieves? Crackpots? No, just freshman men of Pearson Scholarship Hall following instructions to count the revolutions an automobile tire made on a route laid out by Pearson's upperclassmen.
GARY SALLANS, Heindon freshman, said the trio started out from Pearson at 10:30 p.m. They reached Strong at 11:45 p.m. by a meandering route set by the upperclassmen.
"They gave us the route, we supplied the tire and here we are," said Bill Gaither, Bonner Springs freshman.
"WE STARTED at Pearson's front porch, went up the stairs leading to the campus, around the south side
Design Teacher Wins Art Prize
Leland Miller, associate professor of design at KU, has been awarded second prize in the woodcarving and sculpture division of the Pacific National Exposition in Vancouver, B.C.
Officials of the exposition, one of the five largest art expositions in the western hemisphere, invited Prof. Miller to enter his wood carving, "A Pocket Full of Poseys." They had seen a photograph of it while it was on display at the Lawrence Art Guild Festival last spring.
The carving was made from the hollowed base of a black walnut tree, and depicts Prof. Miller's four children in a circle dance.
Prof. Miller said the carving should be back in Lawrence in about three weeks, and as yet no plans have been made for placing it on public display.

of Fraser, in front of the library, in front of Flint, down the stairs in Mallott, down to Summerfield around Murphy to Naismith Drive, up the hill to Lindley and around the front to The Call, then to the Chi Omega fountain, which we circled, along the north side of Jayhawk Blvd. to this spot," said Jim
Van Kirk, Louisberg freshman,
"Nothing to it."
Smiling weakly, the belabored young men headed into the darkness behind Strong Hall, following the shortest route back to Pearson and bed.
They arrived at Pearson at 12:15 am., after 1117 tiring revolutions.
Demonstrators Picket During Kennedy Speech
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI) Nearly 200 demonstrators protesting racial violence in Birmingham picketed the United Nations today as President Kennedy addressed the General Assembly.
The pickets carried a stuffed effigy of Gov. George Wallace of Alabama with a sign reading: mad dog killer of Negro children.
Beefed-up police squads were on hand to prevent violence.
The demonstrators marched on 47th St., west of First Ave., one of two special areas set aside by police for U.N. picketing, about five blocks from U.N. headquarters.
Other signs blamed Kennedy for the Birmingham violence. They read:
THE KENNEDY motorcycle rolled onto the U.N. grounds shortly before 11 a.m. (EST) without the pickets even being aware of it. The President was met as he stepped from his limousine, behind a phalanx of New York motorcycle police, by U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson, who escorted him into the General Assembly building.
U. S.gov't to blame for racial murders, Kennedy coddles KKK, Down
with Nazi terror in Birmingham, and Mr. President, don't tell us how you fail, we want action now.
AMONG THE organizations demonstrating were Youth Against War and Fascism, Young Socialist Alliance, Progressive Labor Movement, the Student Non-Violence Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality.
Some of the pickets shouted, Kennedy no, freedom yes, free Alabama.
Nine demonstrators picketed one block away from the Hotel Carlyle, where the President spent the night. One sign there said:
If it were Caroline, would we have heard I'm just sorry.
Late yesterday, vandals splashed paint on one of the automobiles in the President's entourage. The car was parked outside the apartment of Earl T. Smith on Fifth Ave., when the vandals drove past and threw the paint. Kennedy was visiting with Smith, former ambassador to Cuba, at the time.
The U.N. took maximum security precautions for Kennedy's visit.
