Chiang Forces Expect Red Attacks on 2 Isles
By UNITED PRESS
The Chinese Nationalists expect major Communist attacks at any time against two of their off-shore island outposts: Matsu and Nanchi.
Matsu, some 170 miles north of Quemoy, is only a few miles from the mainland and is vulnerable to Chinese Communist planes and artillery attacks.
Nanchi, some 100 miles north of Matsu and the Nationalists' northernmost island outpost, is threatened with invasion from Taishan island, 30 miles to the south.
During the week end the Nationalists gave every indication they expected an invasion of one or both islands and made all out air attacks to try to prevent it.
Planes bombed Taishan today for the fourth consecutive day but were unable to halt the Communist buildup. In raids Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the Nationalists claim to have knocked out more than 50 Red vessels with heavy loss of life
In other developments:
Bangkok—Representatives of the eight SEATO nations were converging on Bangkok for a collective security meeting to halt Communist aggression in Southeast Asia.
Manila—Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said "plain speaking" might be instrumental in "preventing a reckless Communist miscalculation which could endanger the lives of many."
Pamunjumjun—United Nations officials accused North Korea of violating the armistice by smuggling MIG-15 jets into North Korea.
Resourceful Ones Find Study Places
Where do students study?
By GRETCHEN GUINN
Where do students study?
Students are at the University to learn. To learn, they must study, but where do they study?
In many instances, study places are very unusual. One place that not everyone would think of as a study place is the luggage room of their house. For the serious student nothing can be better for study than to be wedged between two trunks in the luggage room, particularly if the house is noisy when he desires to study. The trunks insulate him against the noise and usually no one would ever think of looking for him there.
Under the desk, behind the door,
and in the closet are also places
to study. One student, in desperation,
tried to hide in his waste-basket
to study but it didn't prove
to be too satisfactory a place.
Of course, some students don't have places to study. They don't need them. They don't study.

Topeka — (U,P)—G. Mennen Williams, four-times governor of Michigan, left some members of his party in Kansas breathless today after a whirlwind weekend.
On his flying trip to the Sunflower state, the outspoken gover-
nor:
1. Said he would be highly honored and intensely interested in a presidential groundswell in his direction in 1956.
2. Called for Congress to put through a new tidesland bill, a Democratic one, to get billions in revenue from off-shore petroleum reserves to finance aid for the nation's sagging school system.
3. Lauded Kansas for its great achievement in curing mental patients.
4. Deviated from his prepared Washington day banquet text to lambast right-to-work legislation now being considered by Kansas lawmakers.
5. Toured the Menninger foundation, the nation's largest psychiatric training center.
6. Shucked his dress coat to serve as a square dance caller during the Democrats' hotel roof garden dance.

Bus Carries Classes, Teams Is Good Kansas Promotion
Probably one of the best advertisements the University of Kansas has is the blue, red, and silver bus that travels over all sections o the state carrying athletic teams, musical groups, and clear field trips.
This bus, a 1950 Flixible, has averaged over 10.000 miles a year on University functions with only one accident and that came in its first year when a milk truck made a left hand turn without giving a signal. Luckily no one was injured and since then the buses' record has been spotless.
The swimming team, for instance, makes almost all its trips in the bus and the track and basketball teams use it a great deal for transportation to and from trains. The football team also uses it for meeting trains or planes.
The bus is used by almost all departments of the University for various purposes. The zoology and geology departments use it for extensive field trips and the athletic department uses the bus quite often, especially in the spring.
Another group that makes good use of the bus is the chorale group. Last year they made a trip through
western Kansas that lasted five days and covered 1,185 miles. This was the longest single trip made by the bus last year.
Trips to Kansas City in the summer to take University groups to the Starlight theatre and an art trip to the Music and Art clinic in St. Louis are other trips the bus has made for the Fine Arts department.
The bus has one regular driver who is also a member of the campus police force and a substitute driver who doubles as an auto mechanic at the garage.
The bus is available only for carrying out business directly related to the University such as classwork field trips and musical programs. It finances its own trips by charging the department using it a flat rate of 35c a mile or a minimum rate of $5 for local trips. This income is used to defray the expense of the bus and driver.

Seniors Study Spanish On Vacation in Mexico
Operating on the assumption that the way to learn a foreign language is to go to the country and learn it from the natives, five college seniors attended summer school at the University of Mexico City.
Making the trip were Nancy Russell, Ann Dodge, Jane Murdock, Sandra Dunlap, and Frances Geyer.
They had all wanted to make such a trip but it was A. V. Ebersole, assistant instructor in romance languages, who provided them with the necessary information and incentive to go.
Their purpose was to learn Spanish better, learn about the country and the people, and to have a good time.
Misses Dodge and Geyer lived with one Mexican family and Misses Dunlop, Russell, and Murdock lived with another family for a month. They felt that by splitting up the group they would be less inclined to speak English.
The University of Mexico City is a bi-lingual school with American, Spanish, and Mexican teachers. Spanish classes were taught in Spanish but the other courses were taught in English and were slanted toward the Mexican viewpoint. The school caters to students from the States at all times and some college Spanish departments have affiliations with the school. There were groups attending the college from all over the United States.
The college is on the edge of Mexico City in a building which once was a gambling casino.
The main difficulty they encountered in learning the language was that so many Mexicans know English and like to practice it on the Americans. However, they were willing to help the girls with their Spanish.
Their main impression of the country was that it is a land of contrast between the very old and the very modern, and the very poor and the very rich. Miss Russell said, "I
saw more Cadillacs in Mexico City than I had ever seen before and also more poverty."
Money went a long way especially since the evaluation of the peso to the American dollar changed from 8.61 pesos to the dollar to 12 pesos just before they left the States.
Misses Dodge and Geyer came back after five weeks but the others stayed as long as possible until having to come back to school here.
When asked if they learned much Spanish the answer was "No, but it was worth it".
