CU Bans Automobiles for Frosh; Lawton Expects Some Traffic Shifts
Colorado university freshmen are about to learn what it's like to walk again. The CU board of regents has approved a ban on freshmen bringing their automobiles to college.
It is expected that the ban will go into effect next year.
The board, in its action, said that the main reason for the ban was "to assist the new student with his academic and collegiate adjustment problems."
It was stressed by the regents that the action was not taken with any hope of solving or relieving the traffic problem at CU. But the action does have bearing in this area.
A study of freshmen who have trouble making the grade scholastically showed that more freshmen with cars are on academic probation than first year students who rely on their feet for transportation.
There are more than 4,400 student automobiles now registered with Colorado university. Campus parking lots are jammed and Boulder city officials have complained to the university about the congestion of off-campus parking in the university city.
Rock Chalk Revue Tickets on Sale
Last night a rehearsal was held without costumes to coordinate the eight acts and to determine their length.
Tickets for the Rock Chalk Revue to be held this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Hoch auditorium are on sale today at the information booth at 75 cents each.
Tonight at 6 there will be a dress rehearsal for the entire cast.
Jayhawker Deadline Monday
Work on the sets and costumes is rapidly nearing completion. Most of the scenery is up and construction on the props is almost finished.
The deadline for Jayhawker pictures is Monday. Jayhawker queen pictures should be turned in before Friday. All pictures should be turned in to the Jayhawker office in the Student Union.
Spring Vacation Will Last Ten Days
Spring vacation will begin at noon Saturday, April 2, and end at 8 a.m. Tuesday, April 12, according to word received from the registrar's office. This will give a total of 10 days of vacation instead of nine, as was the case last year.
Erroneous reports have been circulated that vacation will begin April 6 and end the 13th. This impression was gotten from looking in last spring's catalog. The vacation period was changed subsequent to publication of that catalog.
Children from the state orphanage at Atchison will be the guests of the UVO and Alpha Delta Pi social sorority at an Easter party Sunday afternoon.
Orphan Party To Be Sunday
A martonette show will be presented at the Alpha Delta Pi house, and each child will receive cookies, candy, and a gift donated by the Lawrence merchants. Presents will be sent to Atchison for the children unable to attend.
The 60 children will be met by William Stevens dressed in the Jayhawk suit, visit Dyche museum, and be given a tour of the campus by the members of the UVO.
An Easter egg hunt on Campanile hill and a weiner roast at the Potter lake picnic ground will conclude the afternoon party.
Paralee Neeley, college sophomore, and Donald Roeder, engineering sophomore, are in charge of party arrangements.
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said this morning that he anticipated some modification in traffic, parking, and safety regulations at the University by the beginning of the next school year.
Mr. Lawton said:
"There is no administrative movement at the present time, to my knowledge, to prohibit students owning cars while in college. But I do foresee constantly more restrictions of University traffic for safety purposes."
In a statement concerning student parking in certain areas, Mr. Lawton said the south campus landscape construction job now in progress will eventually do away with old Upper G and Lower G parking zones. He said the project also would reduce to a great degree parking in J zone.
The regulations might not change but I think there will be more restrictions to protect pedestrian-students going to and from class.
Mr. Lawton said that the two old G zones were done away with at the beginning of this school year when the new G zone behind Malott hall was put into use.
But the two former G zones—one behind Robinson gymnasium and the other in the pull-off behind Haworth hall and Hoch auditorium—were left as "open" zones and were available for any students who had permits allowing them to park on the south campus slopes.
Both old G zones will be eliminated by the beginning of the next school year.
Cars from these zones and the reduced J zones will be moved to new G zone and to peripheral zones M and N along 16th street.
Professor to Give Lecture
Prof. Gerbert Feigl of the department of philosophy at the University of Minnesota will speak on "Limitations of Science" in a University lecture at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Fraser theatre. The lecture is being sponsored by the University departments of philosophy and psychology.
Ike Backs Release Of Secret Papers
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower said today he earnestly believes that pertinent documents of all secret wartime conferences should be made public.
But he said they should be used to learn lessons from past mistakes—not to damage reputations or pin blame on participants.
Nor should they be used to upset American allies, the President told his news conference.
Mr. Eisenhower made the statement under questioning about the administration's controversial decision which led to the publication last week of the 1945 Yalta conference documents. Publication of the Yalta papers kicked up a political and diplomatic furor.
The President said release of such documents should be confined to things of political and military significance. He said such papers should not include casual conversations of the participating leaders.
And he emphasized that publication of such documents must be considered carefully where interests of American allies are involved.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill objected to the U.S. decision to publish the Yalta papers at this time. He said the American version of the documents contained some "serious mistakes." Among other things, Mr. Churchill objected to publication of casual remarks made at the conference with the late President Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin.
Mr. Eisenhower opened the conference with two brief statements concerning other matters. Then reporters began to hurl a barrage of questions brought on by the proposal from Sen. George that this country take the initiative in bringing about a Big Four meeting of the heads of state—the President called it later a meeting at the summit—without waiting for evidence of good faith from Russia.
Mr. Eisenhower said with the suggestion of a sigh that this was a really involved subject,
He said there might be a difference between his position on future high level meetings and that of Chairman Walter F. George of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Sen. George renewed last weekend the idea of a big power meeting. He would not require Russia to meet any particular conditions prior to a high-level conference.
Other high spots in his discussion of the prospects for international peace conferences:
1. He said that because of current conditions in the Far East, he saw no reason even to discuss the possibility including Red China in any difference.
z He said that once the Paris agreements on Germany are out of the way he felt there definitely should be new exploratory talks among this country, Great Britain, France, and Russia. West Germany and even other nations might be included in later talks.
3. If and when a Big Four meeting is held, he would invite Sen. George and other members of the Congress to attend.
Weather
Kansas' up and down temperatures are due for another steep slide with Arctic air due to sweep a cold wave into the state late today and tonight. Kansas has a cold wave warning for the north and west. It will turn much colder in the southeast this afternoon and tonight with the temperature falling to near 5 above in the northwest and to near 20 above in the southeast by tomorrow morning. It will be partly cloudy through tonight. Tomorrow will be generally fair and quite cold. The high to-morrow will be near 20 in the northwest to near 30 in the southeast.
Construction to End On Dorm This Week
Construction will be completed this week, barring any unforeseen circumstances, on the new Carruth O'Leary dormitory, according to J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories.
The new dormitory, in reality two complete dormitories joined in the middle, will house a total of 200 men, 100 in each side. Total cost of the dormitory, including furnishings and equipment, will total around $782.000.
Kansan Victim In Plane Crash
Washington — (U.P.)—A Kansas soldier was one of the 66 victims of the crash of a Military Air Transport service DC-6 in Hawaii, the Defense department has disclosed.
Killed in the fourth worst accident in air history was Pfc. Robert E. Dellinger, son of Mr., and Mrs. Loved L. Dellinger, Chase, Kan.
Rain and rugged terrain today hampered the efforts of crews attempting to recover the remains of 66 persons killed in the aviation tragedy.
Twenty-two bodies were removed yesterday, but efforts were halted by bad weather and the fact that parts of the wreckage were still too hot to approach—nearly 14 hours after the crash.
The four-engined MATS R-6-D carried soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines from 28 separate states. A family group of three—a sailor, his wife and daughter—were among the victims.
Festival Set For April 15
Preparations are underway for the second annual Foreign Student festival, William Butler, assistant dean of men, said today. The event will be the afternoon and evening of Friday. April 15, in the Student Union ballroom.
The planners of the 1954 festival were swamped by the crowd of more than 1,500. Butler said that this year arrangements would be made to accommodate more.
Nearly all of KU's 150 foreign students from 50 countries will take part. Students from a country or group of countries will arrange exhibits for the exposition portion. Books, pictures, craft work, and other items representative of the cultures will also be on display.
An hour and a half show will also be staged, featuring skits, dancing, and singing by foreign students is the other part.
Brian Dunning graduate special student from England will be master of ceremonies for the show. Others on the committee are Maria Bozzoli, college sophomore, from Costa Rica; D. Shankar Narayan, from India; Eva Torgersen, special student from Norway; and Jacques Leca, 1st year graduate, from France.
Rehearsals of the acts will be held Saturday and Wednesday before the spring vacation.
