SENIOR CLOWNS—As part of the Senior day festivities at the football game Saturday, a number of senior coeds flitted through the stands offering balloons to the spectators.
Debaters Defeat Sooners On Question of Red China
University debaters defeated the University of Oklahoma in an audience-participation debate Friday night in Green theater.
William Arnold and Huber, college seniors, represented KU on the affirmative side of the question, and they have supported States should extend diplomatic recognition to the Communist government of China."
cause they are Communists but because they are Asians.
Oklahoma debaters, Frank Mitchell and Victor Jackson, argued that traditional regulation of the United States is dependent upon three conditions: effective control of government machinery, acquiescence of the people, and a willingness to honor international obligations.
Mitchell and Jackson said none of these conditions have been met. Because the Communists don't have control of certain Chinese provinces, there is rebellion against the Communist government, and the Chinese Communists waged war against the UN in the Korean conflict.
Arnold and Bell argued that recognition of Red China would promote peace because of less international tension, would strengthen the UN for the same reason, and would promote respect for the United States. They suggested that there is an opportunity through recognition to split China from Russia.
Bell said, "The U.S. recognizes every European Communist regime from Russia to Albania. It refuses, however, to recognize Asian Communist regimes. The Russians are able to make propaganda for Asians out of that fact. They say we have refused to recognize China not be-

Cleveland, Ohio — (U.P.) — Dr. Samuel Sheppard, a 30-year-old osteopath described by friends as a kind and gentle father and husband, goes on trial today on charges he beat his pregnant, blonde wife, Marilyn, to death last Independence Day.
The selection of a jury was scheduled as the first order of business when Edward Blythin, common pleas judge, called court to order in the little courtroom on the second floor of the Cuyahoga County Criminal Courts building.
Osteopath Goes on Trial for Murder Today
But several defense maneuvers may bring postponement. Chief defense attorney William J. Corrigan was expected to move immediately for a change of venue on the grounds publicity had created a "hostile atmosphere" for the trial. Failing that, Mr. Corrigan planned to seek an indefinite postponement.
To support his contention that unfavorable publicity had hurt Dr. Sheppard's chances for a fair trial, Mr. Corrigan summoned 23 witnesses, including business managers of Cleveland's three daily newspapers, managers of local radio and television stations, and distributors of magazines and out-of-town newspapers.
John J. Mahon, Assistant Cuyahoga County prosecutor, promised to fight both motions. Selection of a jury from the special 75-man venire should begin at once as the "only test" of impartiality, and the state would agree to a change of venue if it became impossible to seat 12 jurymen, he said.
William H. Allaway, general secretary of the YMCA, will speak at the UNESCO dinner welcoming foreign students Monday, Oct. 25, in the ballroom of the Memorial Union.
Dr. Sheppard has been in a fourth-floor cell two floors above the courtroom since he was indicted Aug. 17 for first degree murder. He was reported in "good spirits" and confident he would be found innocent.
Allaway to Speak AtUNESCODinner
Mr. Allaway was a special assistant to the chairman of the U.S. national commission for UNESCO in 1949 and has worked with foreign student groups in Norway, the Netherlands and the United States.
Individuals and organizations interested in being host to a foreign student at the dinner may make reservations by sending a check payable to the Douglas County UNESCO council to Miss Mae Manness, Haskell institute. Cost of the dinner is $1.75 per person and all reservations must be in by Oct. 20.

STUDYING MADE SIMPLE
I have passed my thirty-fifth birthday, and my deswaps droop and my transmission needs oil. More and more my eyes turn inward, reminiscing, sifting the past, browsing lovingly among my souvenirs, for at my time of life memories are all a man has.
And most precious are the memories of college. It still makes my pulses quicken and my old glands leap to life just to think of it. Ah, I was something then! "Swifty" my friends used to call me, or "Rakehell" or "Candle-at-both-Ends" or "Devil Take the Hindmost." My phone was ringing all the time. "Come on, Devil-Take-the-Hindmost," a cohort would say, "let's pile into the old convertible and live up a storm. I know a place that serves all-bran after hours."
So it went—night after mad night, kicks upon kicks, sport that wrinkled care derides, laughter holding both his sides. "Come on, 'Candle-at-Both-Ends,' my companions would plead, "sing us another two hundred verses of *Sweet Violets.*
"No, my companions," I would reply with a gentle but firm smile, "we must turn homeward, for the cock has long since crowed."
"Twas not the cock," they would answer, laughing merrily,
"Twas Sam Leehorn doing his imitation of a chicken!"
And, sure enough, 'twas. Crazy, madcap Sam Leghorn. How I miss his gaiety and wit! I never tired of hearing his imitation of a chicken, nor he of giving it. I wonder what's become of him. Last I heard he was working as a weavevarn in Tacoma.
Oh, we were a wild and jolly gang in those days. There was Sam Leghorn with his poultry imitations. There was Mazda Watts who always wore a lampshade on her head. There was Freddie Como who stole a dean. There was Cap Queeg who always carried two steel marbles in his hand. There was Emily Hamp who gilded her house mother.
Yes, we were wild and jolly, and the wildest and jolliest was I . . .
But not right away. I blush to admit that in my freshman year I was dull, stodgy, and normal. I finally corrected this loathesome condition, but for a while it was touch and go. And, dear reader—especially dear freshman reader—be warned: it can happen to you.
The makers of Philip Morris have bought this space so I can bring you a message each week. There is no more important message I can give you than the following: College can be beautiful. Don't louse it up with studying.
That was my mistake. At first, cowed by college, I studied so much that I turned into a dreary, blinking creature, subject to dry-mouth and fainting fits. For a year this dismal condition prevailed—but then I learned the real function of college. And what is that? 'I'll tell you what: to prepare you to face the realities of the world. And what do you need to face the realities of the world? I'll tell you what—poise, that's what you need. And how do you get poise? I'll tell you how: not by keeping your nose in a book, you may be sure!'
Relax! Live! Enjoy! ! . . . That's how you get poise. Of course you have to study, but be poised about it. Don't be like some clocks who spend every single night buried in a book. Not only are they not learning poise; they are also eroding their eyeballs. The truth poised student knows better than to make the whole semester hilarious with sketching. He knows that the night before the exam is plenty of time to study.
Yes, I've heard that lots of people have condemned cramming. But have you heard who these people are? They are the electric light and power interests, that's who! They want you to sit up late and study every night so you'll use more electricity and enrich their bulging coffers. Don't be a sucker!
Clearly, cramming is the only sensible way to study. But beware! Even cramming can be overdone. Take it easy. On the night before your exam, eat a hearty dinner. Then get a date and go out and eat another hearty dinner. Then go park someplace and light up a Philip Morris. Enjoy the peaceful pleasure it offers. Don't go home until you're good and relaxed.
Once at home, relax. Do not, however, fall asleep. This is too relaxed. To insure wakefulness, choose a chair that is not too comfortable. For example, take a chair with nails pointing up through the seat—or a chair in which somebody is already sitting.
Place several packs of Philip Morris within easy reach. Good mild tobacco helps you to relax, and that's what Philip Morris is—good mild tobacco. But Philip Morris is more than just good mild tobacco; it is also cigarette paper to keep the good mild tobacco from spilling all over the place.
Now you've got the uncomfortable chair and the Philip Morris. Now you need light. Use the lit end of your Philip Morris. Do not enrich the electric power interests.
Read your textbook in a slow, poised manner. Do not underline. It reduces the re-sale value of your book. Always keep your books in prime re-sale condition; you never know when you'll need getaway money.
As you read you will no doubt come across many things you don't understand. But don't panic. Relax. Play some records. Remove a callus. Go out and catch some night crawlers.
Relax. Be poised. Stay loose. And remember—if things really close in, you can always take up teaching.
