Ike Alarmed Over Deaths
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower said today that the high number of highway fatalities is a "national problem of the first importance" and demands attention by every American.
Mr. Eisenhower said it is "shocking" that during the past 50 years more Americans have been killed on highways than on the battlefields of all the wars this country has engaged in since it was founded.
Mr. Eisenhower appealed to every citizen to show a sense of responsibility while driving and to look out for their children on the highways.
He urged all Americans to support law officers in a campaign to cut down highway accidents now taking a toll of 38,000 lives a year.

Competition is open to men and women between the ages of 20 and 35. Applications, with all supporting documents, must be filed not later than March 1.

Successful candidates must join the accident and health insurance plan carried by the Institute of International Education for the protection of fellowship students.
To meet eligibility requirements candidates must be citizens of the United States and present proof of: a bachelor's degree by time of departure; a good command of the German language; a good academic record and capacity for independent study; good character, personality, and adaptability, as shown by letters of recommendation, and good health.
Late enrollment of 295 students at the University has boosted the total spring semester registration to 6,015 on the Lawrence campus, James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, said yesterday.
Final Registration Total Hits 6.559
At the Kansas City Medical center 644 students are registered, bringing the combined total of both campuses to 6,659. This compares with the enrollment of 6,277 last spring.
Those who receive awards will be required to pay round trip travel expenses and must have sufficient funds for expenses not covered by the award or for travel.
Application blanks may be obtained from the U.S. Student Department of the Institute of International Education. Candidates for scholarships in Germany file only one application for the various awards.
Molotov Kills Big 4 Hopes
The Soviet foreign minister also reiterated his proposal for a Kremlin-dominated 32-nation security pact.
Berlin —(U,P)— Soviet foreign minister V. M. Molotov today nailed the lid on the coffin of Germany's hopes for unification in a speech to the foreign ministers' conference demanding unification only on Moscow's terms.
The conference would take up the issue of a Korean peace treaty first and a means of ending the war in Indo-China later. The Western allies have suggested that the conference be held in Geneva, Switzerland, April 15.
The only glimmer of hope for the expiring conference was a report that East and West were inching closer to agreement on a Far Eastern conference—including Red China—to discuss Korean and Indo-Chinese issues.
Mr. Molotov made clear Russia's position on Germany and European security in the opening address to today's next-to-the-last session.
Seniors who have not had pictures taken for the Jayhawker magazine should call Estes Studio (151) before March 6 for an appointment, staff members of the University yearbook have announced.
It was the 25th session of the Big Four foreign ministers since the conference began.
Negotiations for the Far Eastern conference were conducted in a secret meeting, and will be continued at another secret session tomorrow—the final day.
Mr. Molotov has agreed tentatively to the site and date suggested by the Western foreign ministers. But there is still no agreement on the status of the Chinese Communist Party and the question whether the talks would be limited strictly to Korea and Indochina.
Deadline Set for Pictures

The distribution side of the ticket sales will be handled by the UVO KuKu, Jay Janes, and the athletic office. Tickets may be purchased from members of these organizations or directly through the athletic office.
To speak for the first time before the student body Feb. 25, Coach Mather will show films of his previous teams, giving an idea of the variation of the split-T formation which he used in the past.
UVO president Fred Krey said, "We want the financial side to be handled by the athletic department to show that our organization won't benefit financially by sponsoring the welcome.
Cost of the tickets for the banquet will be $1.50. The cost will cover a dinner prepared by the Student and decorations for the ballroom.

Yale Minister To Lecture On Education
The Humanities Series lecture will be the first given by a scholar in the field of religion since the series was begun in 1947.
Dr. John C. Schroeder, chairman of the department of religion at Yale university, will speak on "What is Education For" at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser theater.
Dr. Harold G. Barr, dean of the School of Religion at the University, will introduce Dr. Schroeder. After the lecture, the Faculty club will held a reception.
The Humanities committee is "sharing" Dr. Schroeder with Religious Emphasis Week. He will give the opening lecture of the program at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the First Presbyterian Church. His topic will be "Religion—Real or Relie?", which is the theme of Religious Emphasis Week.
Eight other religious leaders will participate in the many activities of the program. They will speak to University classes, hold informal discussions in organized houses, participate in luncheon forums, and attend daily evaluation sessions. Services will be held in Danforth chapel at 7:30 a.m. every day.
A sweetheart contest, also sponsored by ISA, is being planned for the dance. Each independent women's house has been asked to nominate candidates.
"We think Dr. Schroeder is highly qualified for the dual task we've assigned him," declared Elmer F. Beth, chairman of the Humanities committee. "He is an eminent scholar and teacher in religion, theology, and homilies, but he has also been since 1941, a Master of Calhoun college at Yale. In that capacity, he is daily in intimate contact with the students who live in the college and he helps them with their personal problems of living. He is a member of the Yale scholarship committee but is also on the board of athletic control."
The Sweetheart Swing dance, sponsored by the Independent Student association, will be held in the Student Union ballroom Friday, March 5.
