5 German Diplomats Here for 10-Day Visit
Five members of the German diplomatic service will arrive in Lawrence this afternoon for a 10-day visit in this area.
They are in this country at the invitation of the United States State department as part of its International Educational Exchange service. Their purpose is to gain a better understanding of the American way of life in order to create better relations between the West German Republic and the United States.
The Foreign Service officers are Josef Enzweiler, an attache in the German Foreign office; Helmut Mueller, an attache who expects to be assigned to the German Consul in Toronto, Canada after completing his trip to the United States.
Dr. Hans Joachim Falk, who expects to be assigned to the German consulate in New Orleans; Joachim Schlaich, who expects to be assigned to the German Embassy at Bogata, Colombia; and Miss Brigitte Franke, who expects to be assigned to the German Embassy at Ottawa, Canada.
Tonight the group will attend the Kansas university German department celebration of the 150th anniversary of the death of Schiller. Friday evening they will attend the graduate students picnic at Potter lake.
Next week they will visit the Cooperative Farm Chemicals association plant in Lawrence, the German Consul in Kansas City, Mo., and the Kansas City Call newspaper in Kansas City.
KU to Offer Driver School
Renewal of the Allstate foundation's annual $5,000 grant to provide driver education scholarships for high school teachers this summer has been made to the University.
The scholarships will be granted to secondary teachers who will teach driver education during the 1955-56 school year. All scholarships will cover the cost of the enrollment fee for the program and meals in the Student Union cafeteria during the three-week course to be held at K.U.
Priority will be given to teachers whose school is offering a driver education course for the first time, then to teachers from schools needing a driver training instructor replacement, and then to teachers from high schools wishing to improve or expand an existing training course.
The driver education program at KU began in 1947. Completion of the course for secondary teachers gives three hours of college credit. Completion of such a course is required for certification as a driver training instructor by the State Department of Public Instruction.
KU was one of five universities and colleges in the United States and one of two in the Midwest to receive Allstate grants in 1954.
College Makes Course Changes
Adoption of 21 new courses, elimination of three, changes in a dozen others and a new set of requirements for the degree of bachelor of science in geology have been approved by the College, Dean George R. Wagzoner said today.
The English department added courses in Introduction to the Novel (2 hours credit), Introduction to Poetry (2), Introduction to the Drama (2), Introduction to Creative Writing (2), and Writing the Research Paper (1). The first four along with the older two courses in English Literature offer attractive options to superior students in freshman English.
New requirements for the B.S. in geology degree add a mapping course in geography and in the geology department call for a new course in lithography and more study in invertebrate paleontology. The Engineering Drawing requirement is dropped. Several geology courses are changed from "required" status to "to be chosen from among."
Students with B or higher averages in the required freshman English may elect in place of the required two sophomore English courses any combination of the above, Dean Wagoner explained. They may substitute for one or for both English 3 and 4.
Other new courses in the College are Taxonomy of Grasses (2), Economic Growth and Development (2), Elements of Soil Science (3), Soils of the Earth (2), Lithology (2), Principles of Economic Geology (3), Stratigraphy (3), European Cultural History in the 16th and 17th Centuries (2), History of American Territories (2), Analytical Bibliography (2), Physiology of the Special Senses (4), Motivation (3), X-ray and Gamma-ray Measurements (2), Problems in Biophysics (1-5), Stagecraft (3), Stage Design (3), Oral Interpretation of Literature (2).

Dulles Says Big 4 Talks Might Dent Iron Curtain
Washington—(U.P.)—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles believes the Big Four top-level talks will open new opportunities to roll back the Russian iron curtain now shrouding Eastern Europe.
Officials said today this was one of the most significant points behind Mr. Dulles' dramatic foreign policy "chat" with the American people last night.
But he cautioned against overoptimism. No all-embracing rainbow, he said, will come from the meeting of the Big Four heads of government. The conference will only show "new paths" to peace if the United States sticks to its policy of strength in dealing with Russia.
He noted that a Big Four meeting could discuss the Soviet-occupied countries of Eastern Europe and the problem of international communism—along with German unification, disarmament, and atomic weapons.
Seated in President Eisenhower's private office, the secretary of state told a nationwide radio and television audience that the newly-signed Austrian state treaty is a beacon of hope to oppressed peoples everywhere. Mr. Dulles said the treaty, which assures withdrawal of occupation troops, is sure to have "tremendous impact" in Soviet-dominated Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and other satellites.
Meanwhile, officials said the time and place of the proposed meeting of Mr. Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin, British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden, and French Premier Edgar Faure may be set in about a week. Stockholm, Sweden, or a quiet spot in Switzerland, are considered the most likely sites. The conference probably will take place in late July or early August.
