Repatriation Workers Stymied by Boycotters
Panmunjom—(U.R.)—A Czech-Polish boycott of the Neutral Nations Repatriation commission today darkened the future of the entire prisoner "come home" program.
IFC Plans Drive Dance
A Campus Chest dance featuring the Five Scamps was planned at a meeting of the Inter-fraternity council last night.
Proceeds will go to the drive with the cost to be paid for by the IFC. A committee was appointed to assist James Duncan, engineering junior, with publicity.
Robert Worcester, engineerinjunior, explained the fraternity-sorority sing, to be held next spring in conjunction with Greek week. He said there will be a judging panel composed of a faculty member, a member of the music department, and a Lawrence businessman. Each house will be allowed 20 students to enter as a singing group. First, second, and third place prizes will be awarded.

SUA Plans Service For Riders, Drivers
The Student Union Activities is to sponsor a program designed to coordinate transportation of students to their homes on weekends.
forms have been posted in all organized houses and in the Student Union. These forms will be taken down every Wednesday afternoon. The people who have signed these forms will be told Thursday with whom they will ride or who will ride in their car. Riders will pay a small fee to the drivers for expenses.
The Czech and Polish "neutrals" failed to show up for the scheduled 10 a.m. (7 p.m. CST Monday) meeting of the commission, forcing cancellation of the conference and the day's prisoner interviews.
It was believed the NNRC had called the meeting to study or act on the Czech-Polish demands for immediate interviews with hostile North Korean prisoners of the allies, now in Indian custody.
The Czechs and Poles angrily walked out of Monday's commission meeting when Indian chairman Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya suggested that interviews proceed with anti-Communist Chinese being interrogated.
The Communist members of the commission had held out for North Koreans who, last Thursday, refused to even leave their compounds and go to the interview tents.
Gen. Thimiya turned down Communist requests for the use of tear gas and firearms to force the North Koreans to attend interviews.
North Koreans repeatedly have sworn to die rather than attend lectures or interviews given by the Communists even though the NNRC ruled recently they must go as often as the Reds desire.
The 7,800 North Koreans refusing "repatriation" were considered to have a psychological advantage over the 14,000 anti-Communist Chinese in custody of the Indians for one major reason:
Korea is divided only by an imaginary line—the 38th parallel, which was fixed after World War II. By rejecting "repatriation," they could live south of the parallel and still be in their own country under a democratic regime.

I-State Rioters Collect Panties Demand Holiday
Ames, Ia. —(UP)— Iowa State College coeds locked themselves in their rooms today as 4,000 football-happy students rioted for the second straight day.
The students marched to the home of college president James Hilton demanding a holiday to celebrate Iowa State's upset victory over Missouri Saturday.
When Mr. Hilton turned them down, they swept down on the nearby Lake Laverne dam and tried to open it.
The youths, their ranks somewhat depleted, turned to roaming the campus. A group burst into Birch hall, a girl's dormitory.
"Boys are running through the dormitory halls and we've had to ask the girls to lock themselves in," a college spokesman said early today. "They're having a panty raid."
Meanwhile another group crowded the transcontinental Lincoln highway, halting traffic for half an hour and moving into buildings and signs and set fire to some straw.
The main difference was that police sent only one squad car this time to quiet the students. They used tear gas and clubs to quell the earlier demonstration.
The latest riot was similar in purpose to the wild demonstration that broke out on the campus late Sunday and continued into the early hours yesterday.
a panty raid climaxed the first riot. Dormitory girls were allowed to check out late yesterday to prevent another attack on their lingerie, but plants were changed as the riot developed last night.
In the United States, pipe lines carrying oil products resemble railroad systems with trunk lines, feeders, terminals, storage yards, switch systems, stations dispatchers, telegraph, telephone and radio systems.
Supersonic Fighters To Bolster Air Force
Los Angeles—(U.P.)The first supersonic combat planes in history believed capable of speeds approaching 800 miles an hour, were removed from the secret list today as they began to roll from the assembly line.
The new F-100 Super Sabres were considered by air officers to give the United States a commanding lead in the global race for jet supremacy.
The Air Force officially gave no specific speed for the ship other than that it is "supersonic." It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney J-57 jet engine.
The Air Force guardedly revealed details of the F-100's spectacular performance when the No. 1 production model was wheeled from the factor of North American Aviation, builder of the F-86 Sabre of Korean war fame.
It was expected that Super Sabres would be assigned to Air Force units in Europe and the Far East, where they would have an apparently unquestionable margin of superiority over any known Russian fighter or bomber development. They also can be adapted to carry rockets and bombs in support of ground troops.
The shark-nosed Super Sabre is a much heavier airplane than the Sabre and its 45-foot length makes it seven feet longer. Its wings and tail are sweep back at 45 degrees to the fuselage, compared with the Sabre's 35.
It was disclosed that the test model, the YF-100, exceeded the speed of sound in level flight during its first turn in the air last May 25.
A more streamlined fighter than the Sabre, the F-100 can fight at high speed at altitudes above 50,-000 feet, which means it can take on the most advanced bombers.
In Kansas, the nation's No.1 wheat state, experience shows that preparation of the seedbed for next year's crop is worth four bushels to the acre if done in July instead of in August. The July seeded work returns an average of 10 bushels per acre over that delayed until September.

Mr. Murrill emphasized that attendance is entirely voluntary, but students are asked to register because of the problem involved in group discussion. No one will be admitted who has not signed up to discuss the material.
"The meetings are designed to promote free discussion of men and ideas by those who have read about them. The discussions are not intended to and by nature cannot serve to replace the actual reading of the material."
