"Colonialism," said Dr. Amiya Chakravarty in his Upursure in Aisa lecture Tuesday, "is today confronted by the phalanx of the peoples' will."
Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano will present a recital at 8 p.m. today in Strong auditorium.
"In such a struggle between imperial power and a new order of humanity, the issue is really decided even before the battle is joined; afterwards in Asia have shaken off colonial fetters. Africa will follow suit."
Harvey: Russell Yohe, Burritt (Continued on page 2)
Mr. Chiapusso has made many successful tours in this country since coming to America in 1916. He made an extensive tour of Europe in 1927, with appearances in most of the large cities.
"The League of Nations devised the mandatory system to protect areas recovered from German and Turkish imperialism." Dr. Chakra-varty said. "But the mandatory powers themselves were immune from mandatory control. The United Nations have devised the trusteeship to safeguard areas from imperial conquest.
But the absence of colonialism is not freedom in Asia, he said. Freedom needs soil, seed and roots to protect itself; some weakened areas will need different kinds of international protection.
Empires Out Says Lecturer
The recital, open to the public, will be the seventh fine arts faculty recital of the year.
Chiapusso To Give Recital Tonight
He served as head of the piano department of the Bush conservatory, Chicago, for 10 years before coming to the University of Kansas in 1934.
The program will include: Sonata in D Major, Op. 53 (Schubert), "Gaspard de la nuit" (Ravel) and 12 preludes (Chopin).

Eisenberg Plays Superb Music To Small Crowd
Bv JIM POWERS
The celebrated cellist Maurice Eisenberg gave an exceptional exhibition in Strong auditorium Tuesday night, but the audience was almost too thin to be called a crowd.
The enthusiastic but diminutive applause given the virtuoso hardly justified the artistic performance he presented. His extreme versatility in renovating the emotions of the represented composers went beyond the ordinary limitations of most artists.
He was called back for repeated curtain calls, along with Miss Marian Jersilid, who did remarkably well in learning the difficult accompaniment during the short time since her own personal piano recital.
His technique in interpreting the imaginative and highly impressionistic style of Debussy gave fresh and varied colors to the separate movements.
In his expression of the allegro moderato and allegretto movements of Schubert's "Sonata Arpeggione," the presentation was marked with extraordinary feeling and the projection of the artist himself into his music.
Approximately 100 loads of scrap lumber are now being sold by the Sunflower Ordnance works at $1 a load.
Encore numbers were "Grave" by W. F. Bach and "Caprice" by Hindeman.
Clearly, Mr. Eisenberg proved he is a master of his instrument. The touch of his bow regulated precisely the volume and tone of the difficult melodies of J. S. Bach.
Comments overheard after the program concerned the beautiful tone quality, revealed in the playing of Schumann's "Serenata e Aria," and the exquisite variety of the artist.
Others simply wondered what kept the crowd away.
Sunflower Selling Scrap Lumber For $1
The sale will end Monday, Dec. 10,
and lumber may be bought from
8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays thru
Saturdays during the sale period.
The lumber is located at the Sunflower Ordnance works, 16 miles east of Lawrence on highway 10, and is stacked in and near the salvage lumber yard, east of gate three.
Beginning today, Lawrence police will issue warrants for the arrest of all persons who have unpaid parking tickets at the police station. Police Chief John Ingalls announced the step Tuesday.
Purchasers are required to furnish their own transportation and load their own trucks. The charge of $1 a load is being made for an average 1½-ton truck.
City Will Arrest Ticket Violators
A special 24-page Homecoming edition of the University Daily Kansan will be distributed Friday and Saturday. The edition, published annually just before the Homecoming weekend, will carry special features on campus activities, sports highlights, social events, and numerous pictures.
UDK Will Publish Homecoming Edition

Students Like New Jayhawker Picture Index
The new index system introduced in the fall issue of the 1952 Jayhawker has met with favorable student opinion, Win Koerper, editor said today.
It seems that students like to be able to find immediately on what page their picture appears. This has been one of the main criticisms of Jayhawkers of past years.
The first issue of the quarterly yearbook arrived Nov. 20. Approximately 100 new subscriptions have been sold in the two days of its distribution. During registration about 2000 subscriptions were sold.
In addition to the index and the 8-page section on international, national, state and campus news, this year's Jayhawk features another new policy. Students may now have their names embosed in gold upon the cover for the additional fee of 35 cents.
"Anyone who would like to have this engraving done may leave his name and 35 cents at the Jayhawker office any time during the remainder of this week," Richard Hackney, business manager, has announced.
The cover is deep royal blue and is padded. "Jayhawk" will be spelled out in red across the front, and a gold sunflower will be in one corner. These covers are expected to arrive Saturday, Dec. 15.
Hackney urged that students who have their receipts but have not yet picked up their issue do so immediately, so there will be room in the office for the covers and winter issue.
Proficiency Examination Set For Dec.8
The proficiency examination in English composition will be given from 2 until 5 p.m. Saturday. Dec. 8.
All candidates for graduation in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Education and Journalism are required to take the examination.
Students planning to take the exams must register Dec. 3, 4, or 5 College students should register at the College office, 229 Strong. Education majors in 103 Fraser and journalism students in 106 Journalism. Students who fail to register will be admitted to the examination. The papers will be graded on basis of the following general criteria, set by the proficiency committee.
"The student should be able to write at least as well as the average intelligent citizen does when he composes a letter to the editor of a large and respectable newspaper . . . and it should be composed in such a manner that its appearance in an editorial section of a newspaper would not evoke unfavorable comment concerning university education and training." The papers will be graded on content, organization, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
The English proficiency committee is made up of the following faculty members: Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, assistant professor of English; William Gilbert, assistant professor of history; Phillip Mitchell, assistant professor of German; William Palmer and Miss Christine Petrone, instructors of English.
Upstream Now On Sale
The year's first issue of Upstream campus magazine of humanities and politics, went on sale today at the information booth and in the Union.
Bill Howell, production manager, and Ed Nichols, art editor, have revised the format of the magazine. This issue is the largest in Upstream's four-year history at KU.
Dr. Walter Kollmorgen, professor of geography, has contributed an article on flood control. This issue also contains the introduction to the forthcoming book "Gypsy Ballads of Garcia Lorca" by L. R. Lind, assistant professor of Latin and Greek.
Former Miss Kansas Studies At KU To Be Choir Director
By PHIL NEWMAN
A former Miss America candidate who wants to be a high school choir director is a student at the University.
Shirley Hargiss, named Miss Kansas in 1949, is studying music education as a graduate student and foregoing a two year television contract in doing it.
Miss Harglis, who is from Topeka,
was a student here in 1944-45 but
transferred to Northwestern university
in 1947 and graduated with a
double major in music education and
speech. In 1948 Miss Harglis not only
taught music in a junior high school
in Arizona, but did radio work and
was a part-time model.
She won the title of Miss Kansas in 1849 and was flown to the famous Atlantic City beauty pageant. There, on the basis of her charm and musical talent, she placed in the top ten candidates among the 54 entered and won $1,000.
Miss Hargiss said she, like the other contestants, was in a whirl of publicity throughout the contest.
"It was exciting, of course, and the most wonderful experience imaginable." Miss Hargiss said. "The contest couldn't have been handled more fairly. Such a congenial atmosphere and there weren't any petty jealousies among the girls."
"The New York Daily Mirror ran my picture and had stories on me," she said.
Miss Hargiss said she had always wanted to try show business in New York so she spent two years there in night club and television work and appeared in several Fox motion picture short subjects.
"At a KU alumni meeting in N.Y.
I met Buddy Rodgers--probably KU's most famous grud," she said.
"He's one of the finest persons Ive ever met and he really helped me a lot when I was working. at. NBC.
New York has one of the strongest KU alumni organizations I've seen."
Miss Hargiss is working on her master's degree in music education and hopes to become a choral director in a high school.
"It's great, though, to be going to school back in my home state," she said.
