Mourn King's Death As One Of Family
The death of King George VI came as a shock and surprise to the two English students on the campus, as well as English subjects all over the world.
Hugh McKenzie, graduate student from Sanderstead, England, and John Davidson, graduate student from Ashington, North Umberland, England, were surprised and concerned to hear of the death.
Davidson heard the news in class Wednesday morning, while McKenzie heard the news over the radio early that morning.
Both agreed- that although the King had been ill, no one had expected such a sudden death. They expressed the opinion that if there had been any obvious danger, Elizabeth would not have gone to Africa.
The two English students found it difficult to express their feelings.

Science Vs.Religion Problem Solved By Islam,Hakim Says
Islam has completely solved the problem of science disagreeing with religion, Dr. Khalifa Abdul Hakim of Lahore, Pakistan, told a capacity audience in Strong auditorium Thursday afternoon.
"It is Islam which has originated many clarifying relationships between God and man, between man and nature, and between man and man." Dr. Hakim said.
Dr. Hakim, director of the Institute of Islamic Culture at Lahore, was brought to this country last December by Notre Dame university to address the fifth convocation of Natural Law Institute at the University Law School.
The educator, author, and philosopher said that Islam treats religion as a natural law. It is the "realization of the essential nature of man which has been constituted the nature of God." So when a scientist studies the phenomenons of nature he is merely seeking to know God, not to refute him.

Dr. Hakim went on to say that "there are no chosen people. Islam alone has cured society of racialism and nationalism." Islam has abolished classes and castes. Islam (the eldest son's right of inheritance of succession). It gave women rights that they had never known before.
"The first day Pakistan was granted its independence, the large estates and landlordism were done away," he said. "This was a step away from segregation."
Social Training Plan Approved
He also cited the tolerance displayed by members of the Islamic faith. No effort was made to convert them. A 20-year reign, in that country, he said.
Islam has abolished the use of priests in its Moslem worship. Instead of this, private individuals serve as prayer leaders at the meetings. Dr. Hakim said this practice grew out of the corruption found among the paid leaders of the religion.
Islam has sought to put religion on a more positive basis. It has abolished asceticism among its Moslem followers. It seeks to teach them to appreciate the good life. The followers of Islam seek only to know God in his natural state.
The psychiatric social work training program developed by the University department of social work has been fully accredited by the American Association of Schools of Social Work and the American Association of Psychiatric Society Workers, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced today.
Prof. Esther Twente, chairman of the department, said that Miss Ursula Lewis, associate professor of social work, has had the primary responsibility for the new psychiatric social work curriculum. The U.S. Public Health service has made several grants to assist the University in establishing the program.
Accreditation means that all graduates of the program are now eligible for positions that demand fully trained psychiatric social workers. Miss Twente said that many hospitals and clinics, and family and child services, employ social workers with this specialty. The demand for such personnel consistently has been much greater than the supply.
Several KU alumni of this program already are employed in the Topeka State hospital, the Winter VA hospital, the Child Guidance Kansas City, Mo., and the U.S. Discipline Barracks, Pt. Leavenworth
The KU department of social work, organized in 1946, offers a fully accredited two-year graduate program. The minimum program of four semesters and a summer session leads to the master's degree.
Besides training for psychiatric social work, the department prepares workers for child and family welfare positions, for jobs in social group work and community organization.
Having received accreditation for all its curricula, the department is planning to expand its research program, Miss Twente said.

Undesirable Rooms Offered Students
Some highly undesirable rooms have been advertised recently in local papers, including the Kansan, Mrs. Ruth Nash, housing secretary, said today.
Although most housing advertised is acceptable, at least one room with an unvented gas stove and very poor sanitary conditions has been offered, she said.
"Students need not live under such conditions to be close to the
campus," Mrs. Nash explained. The University housing office, 220 Strong hall, has a long list of satisfactory rooms available.
Students knowing of rooms heated by unvented gas stoves or of any third floor rooms lacking access to a fire escape should report them to the housing office for investigation. Such rooms are unapproved by the University and may be dangerous to live in.
Any other unsatisfactory conditions in rooming houses should also be reported so that changes may be made in the listings or in the conditions in the house, Mrs. Nash said.
