Pageantry Heralds Churchill's Birthday
London—(U.P.)—Prime Minister Winston Churchill celebrated his 80th birthday today in the greatest show of pageantry since the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Drums of the Grenadier guards beat the "V" sound for victory into a crashing anthem in tribute to the entry of the "old man" into the ninth decade of his life.
From the Queen down to the humblest of her subjects, Britain paid its man of destiny gratitude that overshadowed even the magnificent pagentry of today's state opening of Parliament.
It was a happy coincidence that placed Mr. Churchill's 80th birthday and the state opening of Parliament on the same day, for it added a touch of royal grandeur to an hour that already had everything else in full measure.
For Mr. Churchill it was a day of looking back with all the sentiment of "Auld Lang Syne," but it was also a day for looking ahead and, characteristically, he chose to lead the government actively in the first Parliamentary skirmishes after the state opening.
These were the big events of Mr. Churchill's birthday;
1. A gathering of both houses ofament after the state opening in unprecedented assembly to give him a portrait of himself and a commemorative book.
2. Presentation by Lord Moynihan of a check for more than £100,000 ($280,000) as the first installment of the Churchill birthday fund, which the Prime Minister is expect-

Thousands of presents, cables, telegrams, postcards, and letters poured into 10 Downing street, the Prime Minister's official residence.
They came from President Eisenhower, former President Truman, Marshal Tito, and many other heads of state, from friends and colleagues, from political enemies, from ordinary people everywhere.
Even eastern Europe, called the "Iron Curtain" country in Mr. Churchill's historic address at Fulton, Mo., got into the good fellowship act, although Russia itself remained firmly aloof.
Tens of thousands crowded the streets this morning to cheer Queen Elizabeth as she rode at 11 a.m. (5 a.m. CST) in a state coach from Buckingham Palace to Parliament to don her robes of velvet and diamond shoes down the town of diamonds and read the traditional speech from the throne.

Guns thundered royal salutes, crimson - coated, bearskin - hatted guardsmen lined the route and the household cavalry in burnished breastplates and plumed helmets clattered before and behind the royal party on matched chargers.
Mr. Churchill gathered with other members of Commons in the cavernous chamber in the House of Lords to hear the Queen read the brief statement outlining the government's policy which the Prime Minister and his ministers had prepared for her.

Prep Meeting To Begin Dec.8
Kansas high school principals, superintendents, and other personnel who participate in the sixth annual Principal-Freshman conference Wednesday, Dec. 8, at the University will find the program organized this year along somewhat different lines.
James K. Hitt, director of admissions and registrar, says the biggest changes are an opportunity for the school administrators participating to talk to their graduates who are now KU upperclassmen, and a panel discussion on a significant phase of highschool-college relations to replace an informal discussion.
The idea of the Principal-Freshman conference was inaugurated at the University in 1949 to bring high school graduates who had entered college and their former principals together.
Its purpose, based on the idea that students would speak more frankly to their former principals than to college personnel, was to get the freshman's ideas on specific ways in which he thought his college training program could be improved.
The conferences have repeatedly proved their worth, Mr. Hitt said, and have resulted directly in several changes in the educational program. Two such instances are a revision of the remedial English program and the "KU previews" which bring prospective students to the campus during the less hurried summer months for entrance examinations and orientation activities.
Principals of all Kansas High schools with one or more 1954 graduates enrolled at KU have been invited, Mr. Hitt said. In previous conferences only officials of schools with three or more freshmen received invitations. This year however, the registrar's office has issued 237 invitations as compared with 86 invitations last year.
The interviews will be held during the morning hours and the high school officials will be guests of the University at a luncheon in the Union and will participate in the afternoon in the discussion to be led by the panel.
Engineer-Poet Wins Award
Collegiate Group Refuses To Drop Red China Topic
By IRENE COONFER
Mr. Zutshi was graduated from Benares university in Benares, India, with a bachelor of science degree in 1947. He then came to KU, where he has earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and will receive his degree in chemical engineering in February. He is now doing graduate work in psychology.
"Food Service!" is the nightly cry of Tapeshwar Zutshi, graduate student from Lucknow, India. These words are familiar to some 20 organized houses on the Hill.
"I'm more interested in writing than in actually practicing in the fields of my study," he said. "I just like to go to school here and I especially enjoy my food service job—everyone is so nice."
The snack salesman recently exhibited his versatility when his poem "The Campanile" appeared in the 1954 Anthology of College Poetry. This was the third of Mr. Zutshi's poems to be published by the National Poetry association.
In keeping with his hobby of writing, Mr. Zutshi is completing a pamphlet on "The Need of a New Ideology."
"The Lotus Feet" appeared in the 1950 Anthology and again in the "Voice of Young America", the association's 15-year compilation. His poem "Curling Fog" was published last year.
Ronald Lenser Elected To Gamma Delta Post
Ronald Lenser, engineering junior, was elected treasurer of Gamma Delta, Lutheran student organization, at the international convention in Chicago. Nov. 26-27. He will take office Jan. 1.
At the regional Gamma Delta convention in Manhattan, Elaine Harz, education junior, was elected Rocky Plain regional treasurer.
Chicago (U.P.)—A collegiate group has refused to withdraw recognition of Red China as a debate topic for college students and has blasted criticism of the subject as "distrust of free speech."
The refusal was announced last night by the National Intercollegiate Committee on Debate and Discussion, an arm of the Speech Association of America.
It was this committee which originally proposed the subject last May as chief topic for collegiate debate teams and stirred up a controversy in universities across the nation.
The committee revealed that it held a meeting here Saturday and Sunday to consider the dispute and voted unanimously not to back down.
A number of institutions, including the U.S. Naval and Military academies, have banned the topic. Many scholastic and national leaders, including President Eisenhower, have said they see no harm in it.
It also issued a sharp statement deploring the distrust "manifest in the disposition to forbid the testing of governmental policies in public inquiry and debate."
"The committee is convinced that distrust of free speech is distrust of democracy itself," the statement said.
Book Tells History Of Emigrant Group
"The Battle Cry of Freedom." by Samuel A. Johnson, a University graduate, was published by the University press Nov. 26. The book is a history of the New England Emigrant Aid company and includes a description of the border warfare in Kansas during 1855 and 1856.
Mr. Johnson, formerly a member of the department of history, teaches at Harris Teachers' college, St. Louis, and is a visiting lecturer at Washington university, St. Louis.
