Bugs on display
The entomology department has set up a display of live insects in the third floor hall of Snow Hall.
The display, set up Tuesday by Rex O. Bare, Wichita graduate student, contains a large scorpion, a large centipede, several spiders and other venomous insects. These insects are being fed in the display. George W. Byers, professor of entomology, said the display is like little zoo.
Concert tickets still available
Tickets to the Homecoming concert will be sold at the Union until 5 p.m. today, and at Allen Field House until 7 p.m. Saturday, one hour before the concert begins.
Cheryl Kloesel, SUA activities adviser, said Thursday nearly 5,000 of the total 8,000 concert tickets have been sold. The concert will feature Steppenwolf and the Turtles, rock groups.
Miss Kloesel said sales had slowed Thursday, in spite of the rush which began when the tickets first went on sale.
Tickets are available at $2.50 each.
Acacia breaks tradition
Acacia fraternity will donate the $50 usually spent for homecoming decoration expenditures to the Lawrence Ballard Center.
Instead of chicken wire, papier mache and the usual school spirit at Homecoming, the 1969 Acacia pledge class voted to spend the money to show more interest in the community and its needs, said Tim Winters, pledge class president. Winters added that he hoped more houses would break away from the papier mache tradition.
Grad student receives money
A KU graduate student, Mary A. Halloran, Silver Lake, has won an $800 Allen S. Wilber Scholarship for the 1969-70 academic year.
J. A. Burzle, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said preference in awarding the scholarship was given to students who planned graduate study in the social sciences and modern languages.
Wilber, a KU alumnus, was interested in these fields as an under-graduate, and established the scholarship three years ago.
Miss Halloran is working toward an M.A. in comparative literature
Exhibit features John Brown
Exhibits on the Middle Ages and John Brown will be on display throughout the semester at Spencer Research Library.
"The Revival of the Middle Ages" exhibit includes files from the court of the Exchequer, legal forms, tax receipts and a book of coats of arms. Included in the John Brown exhibit are Brown's personal letters, a portrait of him and an 1848 Sharps rifle. The exhibition will be held at the Museum of History.
The exhibits will be on display from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.
Students to attend convention
Three KU students will attend a national convention sponsored by two advertising organizations Monday through Wednesday. Linda Brownning, Prairie Village, Chicago.
Linda Browning, Prairie Village senior; Shelley Bray, Bartlesville,
Ohio, senior; and Katie G.
Okla., senior; and Zoltan Czupor, Lawrence senior, will represent the collegiate chapters of Gamma Alpha Chi and Alpha Delta Sigma at the first joint meeting of the two groups to be held in St. Louis. Both groups will make individual and chapter awards at the convention.

Searching for a settlement that would avoid all-out military confrontation, panelists discussed the Middle East conflict at the Faculty Forum Thursday.
Fawwaz Ulaby, associate director of the center for research in engineering science, and Jacob Enoch, associate professor of physics, presented the concluding discussion of a three part series to 35 faculty and staff members. Robert Shelton, acting assistant professor of religion, served as moderator.
Ulaby said the Palestinian Commando units reflected the view of Arabs today.
The speakers said two changes had improved chances for a settlement.
Panelists discuss peace to end Middle East conflict
"In the past Arab leaders were very emotional," he said. "Today they have a very different view. They want to live with the Israeli people as one nation. There is no longer talk about massacres and pushing the Jews into the sea."
First time voting
Enoch said Arabs in newly acquired lands had just voted for the first time in their lives. "They voted in very surprising numbers," he said, "and they overwhelmingly supported the present government."
Ulaby said withdrawal of Israeli troops from fortified areas would be a precondition for peace talks. He also insisted that negotiations take place with the Commandos rather than the Arab governments.
"We want to see the attitude of Israel change," he said. "We want them to show us that they really want to solve the problem."
Peace opportunities have been rejected by the Arabs many times, Enoch said.
"When partitioning was suggested," he said, "it was unfavorable to both groups. Israel, however, accepted the plan. It was

a practical chance to have collaboration but the Arabs never gave it a try."
"Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Israel would have benefited," Enoch said, "but the only country to ratify the proposal was Israel." Solution: economic development
Enoch said he felt the solution was a large economic development project such as irrigating land.
"We need to start in a realistic way. We can't ask impossible things of each other if we are to reach a solution," he said.
Ulaby said the Palestinian people should be given their land, country, dignity and freedom. He suggested a secular state established by the Commandos.
Paul Haack, assistant professor of music education, will give an illustrated talk on "Teaching Music Via the Visual Arts" Monday at the state convention banquet of the Kansas Music Teachers Association.
The Commandos were not the major issue for Jews, Enoch said. "Israel faces much greater danger from other Arab countries as well as the Soviet Union. I definitely don't agree that Commands are the only problem." he said.
Haack is responsible for development of teacher training programs in the areas of secondary school classroom music and music in the humanities.

Ulaby also blamed failure to settle the crisis on Israeli retaliatory raids.
"With this attitude how can we ever reach a settlement?" he asked.
Retaliation effective
Enoch said the Israeli government believes retaliation was effective.
"It's bad that there are casualties and particularly bad that there are civilian casualties. However, as long as there is war, this must be expected.
"All retaliation is motivated by security considerations. This is the only reason Arabs are treated with suspicion," he added.
Although no concrete solutions were proposed at the meeting, both spokesmen agreed more than history must be considered.
"If the problem is to be solved, we must look at the situation as it exists today." Ulaby said.
Next week the Faculty Forum will meet at the United Campus Christian Fellowship center for a presentation by John McNown, professor of civil engineering. He will speak on higher education in Africa.
