West Frees Reds British Fix Bayonets
Berlin, Sept. 22 — (U.P.) The last of 57 uniformed Western-sector police were freed by Western zone authorities today, even though six of them were found guilty of illegally carrying arms into Western Berlin.
A U.S. high commission court set the last six free because of "great and compelling circumstances.
The court sentence was for "time already served." Their arrest Monday touched off a flare-up in Berlin's smouldering cold war, and was followed by a wave of East-West airstraits, a British border incident and a Soviet power cut on West Berlin's electricity supplies.
The Soviet-dominated Eastern sector still held 23 West German police but their release was expected soon.
The six pleaded innocent "for legal reasons" but admitted they were carrying weapons when arested.
carrying Meanwhile, on the southwestern outskirts of Berlin, Russian and British soldiers faced each other behind machine guns at a contested border intersection for the third day.
Most British and Russian troops were kept well in the background but at the intersection proper four glaring Russian soldiers armed with sub-machine guns and swords stood face-to-face with four "Tommies" armed with steen guns and fixed bayonets.
Two Russian lieutenants paced and fro, scowling across the dusty road at the smiling British, who appeared to be enjoying their assignment. More than 100 British troops were in foxholes in the background.
Negotiations between the Russians and the British over right-of-way to the road were reported in progress "at a higher level."
Circus Theme For Church Open House
The circus is coming to the campus Friday. That's the word from the K.U. Westminster fellowship which is using "The Circus" as the theme of its open house party to be held for new Fresbysterian students at 8 p.m. Friday. The "big top" will be set up in Westminster house, 1221 Oread, and will include such attractions as a house of horrors and a menagery complete with "wild animals."
Kay Peters, College junior, general chairman for the party, extended a special welcome to all new Presbyterian students and to all others who have not been to Westminster house.
Clubb Receives Scholarship
Roger Lane Clubb, 1950 graduate, and son of Merrell Dare Clubb. Professor in English, has been granted a Fulbright scholarship for foreign study. Clubb sailed Sept. 9 on the U.S.A. America from New York. He will study literature at the University College of the South West, Exeter, England, and remain there for approximately one year.
Dr. J. A. Burzle, associate professor of German, the campus Fulbright advisor, received notice of the award from the Department of State, which has made approximately six hundred grants for study abroad for the year 1950-51.
Students are selected by the Board of Foreign scholarships which is appointed by the President. They are recommended by the campus Fulbright committees and by the Institute of International Education.

ROTC Offers Undergrads Exemptions, Commissions
Past experience in two wars has established the top draft age as 45, and the average freshman can consider himself subject to a draft call for the next 28 years, Col. E. R. Kumpe, professor of military science, warned today.
The freshman now has the choice of securing training and selecting the activity of his choice in the army as an officer," Colonel Kumpe continued, "or risking a wartime assignment which has little resemblance to the desires of the individual."
With this statement Colonel Kumpe announced his decision to accept late enrollments into all Army R.O.T.C. classes until Sunday, Oct. 1. He has also been authorized to put into effect the following policies:
1. Many sophomores and a "generous" number of freshman R.O.T.C. students who demonstrate proficiency and aptitude in their military studies can be deferred from draft call until graduation.
2. R.O.T.C. students taking part in either of the final two years of military training and who are members of any enlisted reserve component will be exempted or deferred from call by that reserve unit until they receive their reserve commissions through the R.O.T.C.
3. A veteran undergraduate with at least one year of active duty may
In all cases, Colonel Kumpe said, students enrolled in the final two years of the course receive a subsistence allowance of 90 cents a day up to a maximum total of $513. This payment is made regardless of GI benefits or other military pension or pay they might receive. They are also given a complete officer's uniform when they complete their training.
enroll in a third year advanced course and receive his commission at the end of two years of satisfactory work.
54 Students Chosen For Singing Group
4. A veteran beginning his senior year this fall may enroll for the final year of training only, attend R.O.T.C. summer camp at the close of spring semester, and receive his commission immediately.
"Enrollment in the R.O.T.C. is the best present assurance of completing a college education." Colonel Kumpe concluded.
One hundred-five new students were auditioned by Dr. Swarthout, who gave five to eight minutes testing to each aspiring singer. Of the 110 places, 56 will be taken by former students who have asked to renew their memberships. Fifty-four new students out of the 105 tested have been selected.
Ten additional voices will be retained as reserves in case of the absence from performances of permanent members. These 10 will attend all rehearsals, the first of which will be held in Lindley auditorium at 4 p.m., Monday, Sept. 25.
Students desiring to enroll or ask questions should see Colonel Kumpe at his office, 203 military science building, as soon as possible.
The A Cappella choir, will appear for the first time in the 105th All Musical Vespers to be held Nov. 19. The choir will play an important part in the Christmas Vespers, and will again appear on Apr. 9 in Hoch Auditorium, when the annual concert will be held. Plans are also underway to arrange appearances of the group in nearby cities as in previous years.
The 110 members of A Cappella choir have been chosen and try-outs are closed, Dr. D. M. Swarthout, director of the choir, announced today.
Dr. Swairthout, director and founder of the organization, will be aided by Clayton Krebiel, assistant director.
Mathematicians Attend Meeting
Thirteen members of the university's mathematics department attended the International Congress of Mathematicians held at Harvard university, August 30 through September 6.
The Congress, which meets every four years, is made up of prominent mathematicians from all over the world who meet to hear papers on recent developments in mathematical research.
Members of the mathematics department who attended the Congress are: Professors G. B. Price, E. B. Stouffer, Sarvadam Chowla, Robert Schatten, G. Ulmer, V. M. Wolontis, W. R. Scott, and Miss Margaret Philibad, instructor. Five graduate students also attended.
A bed-ridden polio victim who wants to see a football game will have his wish fulfilled Saturday afternoon when T.C.U. meets K.U. in Lawrence.
rprofessors Wolontis and Chowla gave addresses before the Congress. The next Congress will be held in 1954 in Amsterdam, Holland.
Edmund Valigura, 20, has been a patient at Winter General hospital since October of 1949. He has not been out of the hospital since that date. But Saturday, thanks to the University of Kansas athletic department, he will see the football game.
Polio Patient Gets Big Wish
Mr. Valigura will view the game from his iron lung which will be on the track on the west side of the stadium. Arrangements have been made by the athletic department and unless bad weather should occur Valigura will be on hand for the kickoff.
The University learned of Valigura's dream of seeing a football game from Hubert Brighton, secretary of the board of regents. Valigura hails from Texas and is therefore making no statement as to who he will be rooting for.

Tired Jayhawkers Rest In New Palm-less Nest
"Where's the palms?" the freshman inquired as he entered the north room on the ground floor of the Union.
north room on the ground floor of the University "Uh, I don't know," replied the upperclassman who had generously offered to buy the yearling a "coke."
Personnel Men To Meet Here
The idea behind the conference is that men will be of mutual assistance to each other in solving the many problems facing employers throughout the state.
Fifteen personnel directors from firms in Wichita, Hutchinson, Pittsburg, Topeka, and Kansas City will meet today and Saturday in the Student Union for a round-table discussion of labor problems in Kansas.
The conference will open with a dinner at 6:30 p.m. today in the Student Union and will be followed by the first of the discussions. The discussions will be resumed Saturday morning at 9:00 and will last until 11:45. These discussions will also be held in the Student Union.
Only fifteen men were invited to the discussion so that they could discuss the various problems among themselves informally. They were invited to attend this conference by the University Extension service in view of the manpower facing the United States in the near future.
At the beginning of the meetings the men will select a moderator for the sessions. The University will not enter the discussions.
Judiciary Board Will Take Petitions
Marie Schumacher, A.W.S. president, urged all women who have a petition for the judiciary board, which meets 4 p.m. every Monday, to present it to her before the Monday she wishes it considered.
The board, which acts upon disciplinary problems and waives A.W.S. regulations for special cases, consists of Miss Schumacher, Margaret Granger, College seniors; Beverly Jennings, College junior; Arden Angst, College sophomore; and Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women, as ex-officio member.
BEAT T. C. U.
That identical question has received the same reply since the room was opened shortly after the close of World War II. For that reason, among others, the operating committee of the Union, of which Dean L. C. Woodruff is chairman, voted to change the name from Palm room to the Hawk's Nest. The switch has occurred and from the crowds that daily throng the Hawk's Nest during meal hours, one would judge the transformation a success.
With the change in name caran alteration in policy, "Palm Room" may have suggested a variety of Florida luxury to the Jayhawkers. Luncheons and dinners were served in a semi-formal atmosphere and the plan was not overly popular.
Now a coffee bar, from which sweet rolls and fruit juices are obtainable, is in operation during the morning. A steam table, offering bacon, eggs, and waffles, will enable the student to enjoy a full course breakfast (at a moderate charge, of course.) During the day fountain service and sandwiches are available, and the student may take a date or his parents to the evening meal in the Hawk's Nest.
Pat Bowers, university track great and a fine arts graduate now doing graduate work, is drawing murals to decorate the Hawk's Nest. One depicts a Jayhawk chef dangling a "Missouri" tiger tantalizingly before the open beaks of a fellow Jayhawk.
Clay Says Berlin Safe In Cold War
The former military governor of Berlin said that the city has sufficient sources of electricity and is well stocked with food and supplies.
Chicago, Sept. 22—(U-R)—Gen. Lucius D. Clay said today that the only way the Russians can hurt Berlin residents is to start a hot war.
If the Russians had wanted war, he said, they would have moved into Korea before the United States began to mobilize.
"The Russians are not stalling for time." Gen. Clay said. "As it is now, the longer they wait, the stronger we get."
"There is really nothing the Russians can do to hurt Berlin unless they mean war," he said, "and I don't think they will begin a war."
