Foreign Students To Visit 3 Cities
Twenty-five foreign students at the University will be chosen to conduct "Operation Friendship" in Colby, Atwood and Stockton, March 17-20, Dean Donald K. Alderson, foreign student adviser, said today.
Schools and civic groups will sponsor the visits of the KU foreign students to the Kansas plains communities, bearing the entire cost. Each student will give a short talk about his homeland to a school class, to contribute to the foreign talent variety show to be given in each city, and to set up a small display of articles from the homeland.
Clifford Shenk, manager of the KU Northwest Kansas Center in Colby, is co-ordinating local details. The first such "Operation Friendship" to Goodland, St. Francis and Bird City in 1955 was so successful that the same pattern is being followed.

'Hell Week' Out-Dated Says Cross Section Of Greeks
By UNITED PRESS
A cross-section of fraternity men today condemned the old-fashioned "Hell Week" ordeals which resulted in the death of a college freshman 10 days ago.
They said the traditional "Hell Week" paddlings and "long walks" are out-dated, unnecessary, and give fraternities a bad name. Some called them "idiotic" and even "bar-baric."
The fraternity spokesmen were queried by the United Press concerning the Feb. 10 death of an 18-year-old Massachusetts Institute of Technology fraternity pledge.
The pledge, Thomas Clark or Harvey, Ill., crashed through a partially-iced reservoir on his way back to town after being left on a lonely dark road by fraternity brothers.
University officials at such institutions as Georgia Tech, Ohio State University, Stanford, Wisconsin and the University of Pittsburgh have taken a hand by banning freshman hazing or ordering that it be restricted to the fraternity house.
In other universities, many fraternity leaders said they had changed "Hell Week" to "Help Week". Fraternity pledges, in order to gain official admission into the fraternities, are ordered to roll up their sleeves and form work gangs for some charitable purpose, they said.
Anti-hazing rules are backed up by state law in Texas, where fraternity ordeals which interfere with a freshman's sleep are prohibited.

Tying students to campus statues is becoming a fad. A student, who refused to state his name or fraternity, was released from the statue of Uncle Jimmy Green by campus police about 1 a.m. Saturday.
