KU, K-State Plan TV Talks
Manhattan —U.P.)President James A. McCain of Kansas State college and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy of Kansas University plan to confer soon with state leaders of organizations backing educational television.
The groups plan a vigorous campaign in support of a joint KU-K- State television project.
"We and the University of Kansas hope to develop the resources necessary to give the people of our state the full benefit of this incomparable educational medium," McCain said.
Plans call for transmitters on each campus utilizing non-commercial channels allocated by the FCC. The two transmitters would be connected by micro-wave relay and would reach an estimated 200,- 000 Kansans.
Principal support for the project, McCain said, would be sought through an appropriation from the 1955 legislature.

Lecturer on Far East Gets Data First Hand
Bv AMY DE YONG
While in Diakarta, the capital of Indonesia, Mr. Compton met Miss Mary Morrill, formerly of Hiawatha, Kan., who now is in the Technical Cooperation administration of the American Embassy. Graduated from the University of Kansas with an AB degree in 1946, Miss Morrill is doing a form of public relations work.
After 15 months in Indonesia, Boyd R. Compton is speaking this week at the University on political and economic situations in the Far East.
Mr. Compton left Princeton university to serve in the infantry in World War II, and in 1945 and 1946 witnessed early stages of the Chinese rebellion.
It was then that he became interested in the current history of the Far East, and he learned Russian during the war. Returning to civilian life in 1947, Mr. Compton devoted himself to his special field, political science.
"Few people realize that Indonesia is the largest Moslem country in the world," Mr. Compton said, "and we understand far too little about it."
Mr. Compton's main topic of study is the Moslem political movement. He is working on a doctorate degree in that field and will continue study when he returns to Indonesia. His favorite hobby is archery, and he explained that hunting with a gun is impossible in Indonesia, because importation of weapons is illegal, due to the danger of rebellion.
He was graduated from the Princeton School of Public Affairs in 1948 and then attended the University of Washington where he received a master's degree in Far Eastern studies in 1951. He went to Indonesia in 1952 on a fellowship from the Institute of Current World Affairs, and he studied seven months at the University of Indonesia.
The speaker lived in Sumatra six months during 1953 and visited Moslem residents of Acheh just before the Anchheese rebellion. He also lived in Java. Later this year he will return to Indonesia.
Two Exhibits Being Shown
Oriental musical instruments and "The Odyssey" are the subjects of two exhibits which are on display at Watson library and Fraser hall for the next two weeks.
Two kots, flutes, banjos, a Chinese violin, a sheng, and other wind instruments all borrowed from Spooner-Thayer Art museum, along with Japanese prints and rare books illustrating the subject matter, constitute the exhibit which will be in the front hall of the library.
The sheng is the oldest eastern musical instrument, dating back to 2700 B.C. Two of the prints, which are from the Art museum's large and well-known collection, are by Hokusai, the renowned Japanese print-maker.
The second and third floors of Fraser hall will house the exhibit on "The Odyssey," which is a co-project of the English department and Watson library.

Mayor Chis Kraft, toastmaster, introduced the banquet speaker, the Rev. C. Baker Pearle, pastor of the Bethel AME church of Kansas City, Mo., who spoke on "The Spiritual Side of Brotherhood."
"No man can be mature unless he has a deep respect for his fellow man and his creator," said the Rev. Mr. Pearle. "We must learn to measure aspects of love, beauty, and truth by elements of merit, rather than elements of race and color."
In speaking of the achievements of the Negro race, including those of Veryl Switzer, the Rev. Mr. Pearle said, "God doesn't seem to know when he passes out talents whether he is putting them into a white body or a black one."
During the banquet, group singing was conducted by Elin K. Jorgensen music education professor. Two Haskell Indian girls, Theodora Gooday and Delores Colhoff, gave the Lord's Prayer in Indian sign language.
Mrs. Turk Presented In Faculty Recital
Mrs. Janet Turk, assistant professor of piano, was presented in a faculty recital by the School of Fine Arts last night.
Mrs. Turk's program included "Rhondo," a composition by John Pozdro, assistant professor of music theory; Beethoven's "Pastoral" sonata in D major, and compositions by Cesar Frank an Arthur Benjamin.
Arkansas Town Hit by Tornado
Clarksville, Ark. — UUP— An early season tornado hit this northwest Arkansas town during a heavy thunderstorm last night, caving in the roof of a crowded college gymnasium and injuring 19 persons.
No one was killed and, although the 19 victims were treated at a hospital, only four persons were kept overnight.
Most of the injured were attending a program of four intramural basketball games at the new gymnasium of the College of the Ozarks, when the twister hit about 8 p.m. CST. The gym's roof was torn loose and "just caved in," reported Betty Ruth Morris, an employee of the Clarksville Herald Democrat.
The twister then skipped a mile and a half to the north side of town, where it blew away part of the roof and the south wall of the college gym.
State Police Lt. T. I. Bartlett said the tornado first swept through the West Hill residential district on the west side of Clarksville. The roofs of 15 homes were torn off, and one house was blown off its foundation. A garage and a grocery were also badly damaged.
Bartlett said there was no panic when the gymnasium was damaged, but the approximately 100 players and spectators were "just anxious to get out" of the building.
Clarksville is a little more than 100 miles, by highway, northwest of Little Rock, Ark., and is located in the southern fringe of the Boston mountains, the southern Ozark range.
Weathermen, who could recall no other tomadoes reported thus far in 1954, said the "spring tornado season" usually is expected to get underway about March
Chicago Professor to Give First E. H. Lindley Lecture
Dr. Richard P. McKeon, service professor of Greek and philosophy at the University of Chicago, will deliver the first Ernest H. Lindley memorial lecture at the University of Kansas at 8 p.m. Thursday in Fraser theater.
"Human Rights and International Relations" will be the topic, which carries out the "Values of Living" theme envisioned for the Lindley lectureship.
DR. RICHARD P. McKEON
Dr. Lindley was chancellor of KU from 1920 to 1939, when he asked retirement so he might return to teaching. After a year's trip to the Orient, he planned to teach two courses "The Human Situation" and "Plan for Living." The plans of Dr. Lindley were cut short by his death at sea Aug. 21, 1940.
Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star, headed a committee to obtain endowment funds to support the Lindley memorial lectures.
Dr. McKeon was dean of the division of humanities at Chicago from 1935 to 1947, when he asked relief from administrative duties to assume the distinguished professorship which allowed more time for teaching and writing. He was a member of the United States delegation to the first three world UNESCO conferences.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will make introductory remarks before introducing the speaker Thursday evening.
Dr. McKeon will be a luncheon guest of the University of Chicago alumni on the KU faculty. In the afternoon he will meet with the KU humanities committee.
