Page 7 Persistence Study Begins This Week A study of the factors which are associated with persistence in college is being conducted this week for each of the more than 1,350 new freshmen. Each of the students will be asked to complete a questionnaire during an English composition class. The answers, which will be personal data, will be kept confidential. The director of the project is Kenneth E. Anderson, dean of the School of Education, and Dr. Herbert A. Smith, director of the Bureau of Educational Research and Service, is his assistant, Elnar V. Kullstedt, Gothenburg, Sweden, will be graduate assistant. Dean Anderson said the project would follow this year's freshman class for the next four years and perhaps after graduation. The data from the questionnaire, the student's entrance test scores, and his grades for each semester will be recorded on IBM cards. The requested facts include the occupation, education and income of the parents; the size of the family, size of the high school attended; the economic circumstances and place of residence at KU; academic and work load; study habits and conditions, and participation in activities. The freshmen will also be asked to evaluate the orientation program, the caliber of teaching, and the various University services. These questions will be answered by numbers. "But as a reward for their cooperation and information for our guidance, we are inviting written, detailed replies to the things that are most pleasing and most displeasing at the University." Dean Anderson said. Senior Recital to Be Given Jean Gurley, fine arts senior, will present a piano recital at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 12 in Strong auditorium. Miss Gurley's program will include selections by Bach-Siloti, Bach-Rummel, Bach Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, and Debussy. Chessman Turned Down By Judge Wednesday, January 5, 1955 University Daily Kansan San Francisco —(U.P.)— Federa Judge Louis E. Goodman, assailing "nickel in the slot justice," has turned down another plea for a stay of execution by convict-author Caryl Chessman. Judge Goodman rejected Chessman's plea for a stay and a writ of habeas corpus on grounds that the transcript of his original trial was faulty. He ruled that other courts already had decided the issue. Asserting that Chessman's appeal on this question has become a "round robin" in the courts, Judge Goodman asked: when does the wheel stop turning; what must the citizen think of our nickel-in-the-slot administration of criminal justice?" Chessman's attorney indicated he still has a couple of more rounds to go. He said he will ask the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a certificate of possible cause for appeal, and if rejected there, he will take the case back to the U.S. Supreme Court. Veep Takes Oath Today As Kentucky's No.2 Washington—(U.P.)—Time turns backward today and Alben W. Barkley—the Veep—takes his seat as the "junior" senator from Kentucky. But not since March 4, 1927, has he raised his right hand to become a new senator from his state. For Sen. Barkley, taking the Senate oath marks the resumption of a career of public service that spans half a century. For most of the past 40 years he has been on the Washington scene. The 77-year-old Kentuckian warmed up for his new assignment yesterday by following the traditional advice for freshman senators. He attended a party caucus and kept his mouth shut. Later, in a chat with newsmen, he recalled many other caucuses when a leadership role required that he take a more active part. But he said the change suited him fine. When a newsman commented that Sen. Barkley's qualifications as a former senator, congressman and vice president, surely would be recognized, the Veep said that would be gratifying. And it reminded him of a story. Sen. Barkley has "indicated" to the Senate Democratic leadership that he would like to serve on the Finance and Foreign Relations committees—two of those regarded as choice. This one was about the illiterate Kentuckian who had been elected sheriff because of heroism in a murder case and asked the county judge to "qualify" him for service in his new job. "I can sweat you in, but all hell can't qualify you," the judge said. Danny Kaye Is '54 Humanitarian Hollywood (U.P.)-Comedian Danny Kave has won the Humanitarian of the Year award for 1954 because of his work as ambassador-at-large for the United Nations International Childrens fund. Drop in for a Drink? The announcement that Mr. Kave had won the award came yesterday from Noah A. Atler, president of the Denver hospital and sanitarium, which annually honors outstanding service to humanity. Previous winners were Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dore Schary, George Jessel, Paul G. Hoffman and Drew Pearson. Mrs. Roosevelt will present the award to Mr. Kave at the annual humanitarian award dinner in Beverly Hills March 20. Red Ban Extends to Basin Street By UNITED PRESS Americans were a little puzzled today over a State department order declaring parts of the country off-limits to Russians. The ban kept Russians out of some pretty odd places, such as a South Dakota county which no longer exists. It would also force a Soviet citizen who wanted to sample some New Orleans night life to drop into the city by parachute. Even more puzzling, Civil Defense officials said, was why Russians were allowed to wander in some highly industrialized and strategic areas, while vast stretches of prairie and farm land were ruled out of bounds. Russia bars Americans from about 30 per cent of the Soviet, they said, but allows travel in such apparently strategic areas as Stalingrad, Kiev, and Kharkov. Whether the purpose of the state department order was strategic or psychological, most officials in offlimits cities were willing to go along with it. There were a few murmurs of protest, however. At Austin, Texas, Sheriff T. O. Lang said the idea of the ban seems "pretty far fetched" and he couldn't figure out how he could keep Russians out of banned territory. "They'd have to be under constant surveillance, unless you just took them at their word on where they'd go," Sheriff Lang said. Some areas greeted the ban with a touch of local pride. Austin Bacon, Nebraska's deputy Civil Defense director, said the restrictions on parts of the Cornhusker state shows that Nebraska "is not so remote as some people think." The cities of New Orleans and San Francisco were both declared in bounds for the Russians, but the counties covering the identical territory were officially taboo.
