Three new commanders will greet ROTC cadets returning to the University next fall.
The commanding officers of the Army, Navy, and Air Force units, Col. Edward F. Kumpe, Capt. W. R. Terrell, and Col. Lynn R. Moore, have all received notice that they will be transferred.
Col. Moore, who entered the Army Air Corps in 1939, served as a ferry command pilot. He was stationed in the Aleutian Islands during the war. Following World War II, Col. Moore served as head of the planning section at 2nd Air Force headquarters at Colorado Springs, and then was transferred to the training division of the Air Force headquarters in the Pentagon building.
Col. Kumpe, a native of Leavenworth, was graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1930 and was stationed in Texas, Virginia, New York, Oregon, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Colorado before coming to the University in July 1949. He received a master's degree in Civil engineering from Cornell university in 1933, and served in the Pacific theater from 1942-45.
Col. Moore and Col. Kumpe will be transferred to new assignments, while Capt. Terrell expects to retire June 30, which will mark the completion of 31 years service as a Navy officer. The ROTC departments have received no word concerning the successors of the three officers.
Capt. Terrell was graduated from the Annapolis Naval Academy in 1922, and was stationed at Pearl Harbor in December, 1941, at the time of the Japanese attack. He served in the Pacific theater throughout World War II.

The curtain is going up on the development of the community theater, and whether it is to be worthwhile or transitory depends upon the quality of performance and the intelligent selection of plays, said Henry C. Haskell, playwright and foreign news editor of the Kansas City Star.
Theatre Quality Going Up
Mr. Haskell spoke at a dinner meeting of the first Kansas Community Theater institute held here Friday and Saturday.
he stressed using common sense in play selection. "Greek tragedies and the plays of Chekov, a Russian playwright, are technically too difficult for the community to perform well." he said.
Dr. John Newfield, director of University Theatre, conducted an acting demonstration workshop at the institute Friday. He warned against imitation of acting, not the real thing.
He said many plays of past years are wasted by commercial theaters, which the community theater could present. "But a new play should be produced once in a while to keep up with the times."
"Imitation is one of the biggest dangers," he said. "We are exposed to a tremendous amount of acting through motion pictures and television and often our acting is based upon acting we've seen, which leads to patterns of speech and pantomime. This makes an inflexible group of community players."
"The actor's first job is to concentrate and imagine. There is nothing too small for an actor to study," he said.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murph expressed hope that the meeting would represent the beginning of

The Secretary of State added:
"The Eisenhower era begins as the Stalin era ends.
"For 10 years the world has been dominated by the malignant power of Stalin. He capitalized on the prestige which was won by the Red army defenders of Stalingrad."
