STARS FALL OUT . . . But all in fun. Viveca Lindfors takes a swing at David Lewis before Monday's performance of "Anastasia." Offstage they're only acting but while acting onstage they're mortal enemies.
34 Houses Give Homes To Foreign Students
"The University has the strongest organized house foreign student program in the United States," according to J. A. Burzle, professor of German and chairman of the foreign student scholarship committee.
Organized houses on the campus are in the process of selecting foreign students to live in their houses next year. Prof. Burzle said.
These houses support the foreign students by providing scholarships for their room and board.
Select One Student
Seerer One Student
The housemate gave one student with either a Fulbright or back-Mundu scholarship that they feel will fit into their particular group.
This year for the second time, a direct fraternity exchange has been operating. Phi Delta Theta social fraternity has one student studying abroad this year. He is Kent Mueller, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, at the University of Oslo in Norway. Clark Mock, Hutchinson sophomore, will study next year at the University of Amsterdam in The Netherlands.

Red Visit Turns Sour
LONDON (UP)—The Russian leaders' visit to Britain turned sour today. They failed to dent Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden's determination to stand by his United States and NATO allies in their refusal to ship strategic goods to Communist nations.
Intrigue Of'Anastasia' Provides Audience With Thrill-Packed Play
Socialist leaders, too, were afronted. The socialists made a plea for mercy for 200 social Democrats who they said were in Communist prisons. Mr. Khrushchev refused even to look at a list of names offered to him at a Labor Party banquet Monday night. Then he bluntly and angrily refused to have anything further to do with the discussion.
Communist Party leader Nikita Khrushchev remarked that Russia soon would have a guided missile with hydrogen warhead capable of striking anywhere in the world.
Students' Work Displayed
Miss Alice Schwartz, instructor in design, spoke on "The Creative Art Program in the Schools" and showed examples of students' work at a combined meeting of the Osawatome Parent-Teachers' Associations Monday night in Osawatomie.
It's not hard to see why "Anastasia" ran nine months on Broadway to the acclaim of reviewers. The melodrama, which played Monday night to a half-filled Hoch Auditorium, is fast-moving and emotion packed.
All the action takes place in the parlor of Prince Bounine's Berlin house.
The plot revolves around the riddle of Anastasia, portrayed by Miss Viveca Lindfors, who claims to be the daughter of Nicholas II, last Czar of Russia. She supposedly escapes death when the rest of her family is machine-gunned to death by the Bolsheviks in 1917.
After Fortune
She flees to Berlin, where she falls into the hands of three unscrupulous operators, Chernov, Petrovin and Prince Bouine, played by Carl Don, Kurt Richards and David Lewis respectively.
Although refuting her royal claims, they see a chance to capitalize on them and lay their hands on her vast fortune.
For five weeks Anastasia, who by now denies her story, is groomed for the role of princess.
The climax comes in the second act when her grandmother, the Dowager Empress Marie, played by Eugenie Leontovich, accepts her. This is the celebrated scene in which Miss Lindfors and Miss Leontovich attain a dramatic fervor rarely achieved. Their acting is complete artistic expression in which all their senses are used to project emotion.
Escapes Before Debut
Later Anastasia tells the empress of Bounine's plot, and escapes before she is to make a grand "debut" before her people.
Miss Leontovic and Miss Lind-fors are superb in their roles. They succeed in creating and
maintainin - suspense throughout the play.
David Lewis turns in an excellent performance as the crafty, smooth-talking Prince Bounine, who is out for all he can get.
Non-Military NATOSought
PARIS (UP)—Western European leaders gave warm applause today to American acceptance of their view that NATO should branch out into non-military fields.
Outstanding in the supporting cast are Richards as Petrovin and Jamie Smith who, as Dr. Serensky, an acquaintance of Anastasia while she was in a Bucharest hospital, refuses to believe that she is the "lost" princess.
Italy's President Giovanni Gronchi and Foreign Ministers Halvard Lange of Norway, Johannes Beyen of The Netherlands, Heimrich von Brentano of West Germany and Lester Pearson of Canada have been pushing a widening scope for NATO for months.
Automation Topic Of Graduate Panel
"The Prospects of Automation" will be the topic of the Graduate Club panel discussion at 8 p.m. Thursday in 306, Student Union. The meeting is open to the public.
NATO observers long have argued that the organization should stop concentrating wholly on armament and start cementing the NATO countries together as a force for peace as well as war.
At the ministers' meeting last December some of them suggested one non-military field for NATO was aid to underdeveloped countries.
Panel members will be Robert J. Ashley, instructor of electrical engineering; Carl J. Cabe, assistant professor of economics, and J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science. James Schellenberg, Newton graduate student, will moderate the discussion.
Weather

KANAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—Three small boys, aged six and seven, were blamed today for a spectacular blaze which destroyed a vacant three-story apartment building in the city's old "north end" Saturday. Police said the boys had admitted they dropped lighted newspapers through a hole in the floor into the basement, littered with trash.
The audience is left to solve the riddle: Was Anastasia a princess or an imposter?
(To avoid confusion, "Acting" is Edgeworth.
The young delinquents broke the windows with rocks wrapped in leaflets threatening a revolution unless President Fulgencio Batista's government holds elections in the near future. The leaflets were signed by the "United Juvenile Front."

Police said the vandalism was part of a campaign sponsored by the Communist Party and supporters of ousted ex-President Carlos Prio.

Snake Doesn't Cooperate
SAN JOSE, Calif. (UP)—Ralph Caccamo gave his sons a more realistic lesson in outdoor life than he planned on at a picnic Sunday. He called his three boys to show them how to capture a rattlesnake with a forked stick. And then he showed them how to apply a tourniquet when he was rushed to a hospital for snakebite treatment.
POGO Convicted By Student Court Fine Set At $75
The Party of Greek Organizations (POGO) has been found guilty of endorsing officer candidates in violation of the All Student Council constitution. The verdict was returned by the Student Court Monday night following the second session of the case introduced by Grant Napier, Wichita first year law student and Joel Sterrett, Topeka sophomore, president and secretary, respectively of the Allied Greek-Independent campus political party.
The court's verdict, in part,
reads as follows:
Clause Violated
"On the basis of better weight of the evidence on the part of the plaintiff, the testimony of witnesses, and admissions of the POGO officers, we, the Student Court of the University of Kansas, find the defendant party guilty of the violation. The penalty for such violation is assessed at $75 to be paid under the provisions of ASC bill ... to the treasurer of the ASC."
The clause of the ASC constitution which was violated states:" . . nor shall any political party endorse any candidate for class officer."
The court found that 28 defendants named in the suit were "im-properly joined" in the petition and thus dismissed. Individuals cannot be named as defendants in suits of this type.
The court has suggested to ASC prosecutor John Fields, second-year law student from Kansas City, Kan., that he investigate the "possibility of perjured testimony" given during the trial.
Second Session Of Trial
The court's decision was signed by Bob Schaefer, third-year law student from Salina, chief justice of the Court.
Second Session Of Trial The first session of the trial met April 19, lasting for four hours. As all testimony had not been presented, the court was adjourned to reconvene Monday night.
Napier, acting as both prosecutor and plaintiff, argued the case for himself and Sterrett. Tom Helms, Mission, and Larry Loftus, Lenexa, both second-year law students, acted as counsel for the defense.
