TV, Nude Statue At U.S. Schools
Civilian students at Texas A&M are forming a group to wear uniforms and take part in Corps activities. The "civilian military unit" would live as any other military unit in a dormitory there. Guess they don't know when they are well off.
The Creightonian, student newspaper of Creighton University, Omaha, Neb., reports three of their buildings razed in eight hours. It would be nice if they went up that fast.
Closed-circuit television will be used for teaching chemistry to freshman students at Iowa State College this fall. The experiment will, the Iowa State Daily says, help to determine whether closed-circuit TV is practical when used in teaching chemistry as compared to the present methods. At least they won't need to turn it off for the commercials.
The Bulletin says that a partial solution to the E-State parking problem will be provided by completion of a new drive-in parking lot accommodating 90-100 cars. What a strange way to solve the problem—build more parking space.
The Collegian reports that Kansas State College enrollment won't reach 6,000. Maybe it's an advantage-it means 2,000 more parking spaces.
"Supplicant Persephone" is back to stay on the Syracuse University campus. The statue, a nude, was removed from its pedestal in May because its owner was leaving for a new position at Notre Dame. The class of 1955 bought it as a class gift. We bet S. U has less trouble with green paint than KU does with its "Uncle Jimmy" Green.
NEW YORK — (U.P.) President Elenhower's heart attack has sent men over 40 to their doctors' offices in numbers described by one specialist as "fantastic."
Older Men Worry About Hearts Now
The New York Heart Association said its telephone information service has received three times its usual number of calls each day since the President was struck. Most callers want to know what to do about their own or a relative's real or imagined symptoms.

Eisenhower May Reveal Future Political Plans Soon
WASHINGTON (U.P.) — The word here and from Denver is that President Eisenhower will reveal his 1956 political plans much sooner then was likely before he became ill, probably before Christmas.
The advice of his political associates and his own inclinations long had pointed to an early March announcement. Mr. Elsenhower's political friends were strongly confident that he would announce willingness to accept renomination.
They are not confident now.
There is a good chance that the
contact for next year's Republican presidential nomination will become a free-for-all political brawl damaging to the party's election prospects, assuming that Mr. Eisenhower does not run.
It is now a wide open contest.
Mr. Eisenhower can bring his prestige to bear in favor of his own choice of a 1956 presidential nominee only if he soon takes himself out of the running and goes all out to put his man over.
If Mr. Eisenhower retires and has no favorite, all hands are entitled to an equal chance. The voters are entitled to maximum
opportunity to observe the various hopefuls under pre-convention campaign fire.
If Mr. Eisenhower has a favorite, he will have to hustle him into some key primary contests not only to ward off poachers but to put his man on show. The primaries are important. They can be deadly to a loser.
Dies Reading Will
MALDEN, Mass. — (UP)—While reading his will, William Moore, 68, collapsed and died of a heart seizure.
Students, Patton Fly To Hutchinson
The Rev. John H. Patton, Presbyterian student director, flew three University students to Hutchinson, where they and Dr. Patton spoke on the campus religious program at a meeting of Presbyterian women.
The students are Wanda Welliever, Oberlin sophomore, Janice Mietzner, Kansas City, Mo., senior, and James Ragan, Lawen senior.
Dr. Patton, who received his private pilot's license last spring, has flown more than 100 hours.
What's doing
at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
Near the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft plant in East Hartford, Conn., a full-fledged graduate center was established this fall by Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute. Located 115 miles from R.P.I.'s home campus in upper New York State, the new graduate facilities will enable working engineers from Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and other companies in the Hartford area to continue their studies. Without interrupting normal employment, it will be possible for students to obtain advanced degrees in specialized fields from the nation's oldest engineering college.
Designed to raise the level of knowledge and to broaden the base from which advanced research can be approached, this entire program will simultaneously lead enrolled engineers to greater achievement in their careers.
First 702 Computer in Eust. Just installed, this advanced I.B.M. computer joins earlier electronic marvels that played a vital role in the development of Pratt & Whitney aircraft's famed J-57 jet engine.
Here's something unique in education.
Newest Supersonic Fighter. The Chance Vought F8U, latest in a growing group of military aircraft to fly faster than sound. Like most other record-breakers, it is powered by a P & W A J-57 turbojet.
Last Wasp Major, most powerful piston engine ever developed, is shipped by P&WA. This marks the end of an era as turbojets take over as the source of power for heavy bombs, transports and tankers
