Murphy Outlines Foreign Student Study Purpose
Most foreign students have two purposes in studying in the United States—vocation and the opportunity to interpret to others the meaning and significance of their culture, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said last night at the UNESCO dinner in the Student Union.
He spoke before an audience of 350 foreign students, faculty members, and Lawrence businessmen More than 135 foreign students attended.
For the first time UNESCO is recognized in the international level, Chancellor Murphy said. It is not unpatriotic but dedicated to the spread of international understanding, he added.
Officers of the International Club and of the Douglas County Council for UNESCO were introduced, the Chorale, directed by Clayton Krebiel, assistant professor of music education, sang several American folk songs.
The Ballroom had a cosmopolitan air as students in flowery kimonos, and colorful saris mixed with faculty members and Lawrence businessmen.
Mr. Arnold withdrew from the cast because of a knee ailment. He will be unable to make any of the tour
Kasznar Takes Arnold's Role
Kurt Kasznar has replaced Edward Arnold in the play "Don Juan in Hell," to be presented in Hoch Auditorium Tuesday, Nov. 1.
Mr. Kaznaz, a movie and television actor, rehearsed Mr. Arnold's role only one week before the Sept 19 opening in San Francisco.
Critics lauded his performance. One review said he more than compensated for Mr. Arnold's absence. Another said he was the "ton actor" of the evening.
Mr. Kasznar has appeared in the movies "My Sister Eileen," "Anything Goes," and others.
Actors in "Don Juan in Hell" are Mary Astor, Ricardo Montalban, Reginald Denny and Mr. Kasznar.
Dean Defends Jury Wiring
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)The Dean of the University of Chicago Law School told Senate investigators today that his researchers eavesdropped on juries to help, not harm, the jury system.
But members of the Senate Internal Security subcommittee promised legislation to keep it from happening again.
Dean Edward H. Levi testified that a research team under a $1-400,000 grant from the Ford Foundation recorded deliberations of juries in six civil cases in federal district court in Wichita, Kan., in Mav. 1954.

He said this was part of a research project aimed at strengthening the jury system. Leaders of the bar, he said, had objected that proposed research would be incomplete without recording of juries actually at work.
Dean Levi said the recordings were made to learn how juries operate, how well they understand instructions, how they handle difficult problems of evidence, and now their work could be speeded
Man, It's Real Cool When Brubeck Plays
By JOHN HERRINGTON Managing Editor of the Daily Kansan we soared in the 80's last night.
The temperature soared But it was cool—real cool.
The temperature soared in the 80's last ni
For nearly two hours a capacity crowd sat and listened to the "cool jazz" of Dave Brubeck and his quartet. And the audience was a Brubeck audience. It was quiet, attentive, and apparently "really gone" over the sounds of "new" jazz.
From the opening 8 minutes, 23 seconds of "Gone With The Wind"—one of the standbys of a Brubeck quartet performance—to the mellow moments of a ballad close—"For All We Know We Mav Never Meet Again"—the modern jazz sounds of pianist Brubeck, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, drummer Joe Dodge, and bass player Bob Bates filled Hoch Auditorium.
First Hour Program
For the first hour the "Jazz Goes to College" group eased its way through such tunes as "Jeepers Creepers," "Here Lies Love," and a "Stardust" without the melody.
For the next 50 minutes there was a mixture ranging from a jumping "When The Saints Come Marching In" to a depression-inspired "Brother. Can You Spare A Dime."
Property Tax To Be Topic
Two of the most thoroughly accepted numbers featured individuals rather than the group. Desmond's sax carried the crowd through a wild "Trolley Song" and drummer Dodge beat his way out on "A Train."
It was a swinging session in most musical notebooks. The cats flipped, to say the least, and Brubeck and Co. completed another gig.
Only Alamo Missing
About the only thing missing was the Brubeck favorite, "Alamo." But, apparently, nobody missed it much.
Only "Alamo" Missing
Prof. Paul E. Malone, director of the Bureau of Business Research, will take part in a round table discussion on property tax alternatives and controls Monday, Oct. 17 through Friday, Oct. 21 in Detroit, Mich., at the Conference on Taxation. The conference is sponsored by the National Tax Association.
Music Heads To Meet At KU
Music executives of about 25 state universities will attend the annual meeting of the National Association of Music at KU and Haskell Sunday and Monday. They will receive a preview of the University's $2,400-000 music and dramatic arts building.
The group will meet in the Student Union Sunday to hear G. Stanley Hagan, Emporia architect, describe the features of the new building.
Monday afternoon the executives will tour Haskell and see a program of Indian dances and songs. After the tour they will attend a dinner, and the Paganini Quartet concert.
Rock Chalk Revue Slates First Meeting
Walter J. Muller, Garden City senior, and producer of Rock Chalk Revue, said a meeting will be held at 4 p.m. Friday in 101 Snow Hall for houses interested in presenting skits in the Revue.
Independent houses are urged to attend, he said. Each organized house should send two representatives.
Paganini Quartet To Play Monday
The Paganiin Quartet will open the KU Chamber Music Series at 8 p.m. Monday in Strong Auditorium.
It will play the Mozart Quartet in D major, K. 575; the third quartet of Hindemith and the Brahms A minor Quartet. On 51. No. 2.
Tickets are on sale at the Fine Arts office. 128 Strong.
When the Papanini Quartet—now including Henri Temiana, Gustave Rosseels, Charles Foidart and Lucien Laporte—was formed in 1946, the warm welcome it received from the public exceeded all expectations. The members were distinguished artists who had achieved reputations in their own right.
Mr. Temianka, first violinist, says people have discovered that chamber music is the clearest, as well as the purest, form of music.
The Paganini Quartet has attracted record audiences and in many cities has become a standard annual event. When it played a Beethoven concert in Washington, D.C., hundreds of persons were turned away for lack of space.

Does Oct.12 Ring A Bell In Your History Memory?
Does the date Oct. 12 ring a doesn't, it should, because today Hemisphere.
This is the day in 1492 on which Christopher Columbus realized a dream he had held for 18 years about a new route to India. To the day he died, he still believed that he had discovered India.
It is declared a holiday in 35 states, Canada, Central and South America. Church services and festivals are held to commemorate this day in Spain and Italy.
The first celebration of Columbus Day was held in 1792 in New York, 300 years after Columbus landed on Watkins Island in the Bahamas. The Society of St. Tamanny or Columbian Order gave a dinner with

In 1892, a monument of Columbus was dedicated in Columbus Circle at 59th Street in New York.
In 1909, Columbus Day was declared a legal holiday. Two Italian cruisers were sent to New York Harbor, a parade with 60 Italian societies in it marched to the Columbus bus statue in Columbus Circle.

Homecoming Program Set; Work Begins
A month of intense work on the Homecoming celebration was started yesterday with a general meeting of all Homecoming committees. Jack Heysinger, assistant dean of the School of Business and general chairman, outlined the general Homecoming program for Nov. 18 and 19.
It will include, in addition to the traditional Jayhawk Follies, selection of a Homecoming queen, the football game with Missouri Saturday afternoon, a dinner and program Friday night honoring the 1930 football team, and a rally before the varsity-freshman basketball game.

$32,000 Worry All For Nothing
NEW YORK—(U.P.)-Baseball fan Patrick (Paddy) Keough made the agonizing decision to risk the $16,000 he already has won on a television program and try for the $32,000—only to have the clock run out on him before the question was asked.
The pudgy Irishman from St. Louis returns next week to the program, "The $64,000 Question," to take up where he left off when the show ended last night, with Mr. Keough waiting in the isolation booth.
Another contestant on the program, the Rev. Alvin Kershaw, of Oxford, Ohio, won $8,000 by answering difficult questions about jazz. The boyish-looking 35-year-old rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church of Oxford will have a chance at the $16,000 question next week.
If Mr. Keough successfully answers his question he will have the option of taking the money or answering an even tougher question the following week for $64,000.
Girl's State Alumni Vote For Club
Girls' State alumni voted yesterday to organize a Stateswomen's Club to keep former Girls' Staters informed of governmental work on the campus.
