Jogging Club Planned
A Jogging Club is now in the planning stages for interested University women. The first meeting will be held at 3 p.m. today in room 208 of Robinson Gymnasium. The Womens Recreation Association initiated the idea for girls wishing to jog in the evenings to help keep physically fit. Today's meeting will define the main function of the club, whether it be competitive or purely enjoyment.
Physics Colloquia Scheduled
The University of Kansas department of physics has scheduled two colloquia for Thursday and Monday afternoons, William Silvert, assistant professor of physics, said Tuesday. Paul Bauer, graduate student in physics, will peak Thursday at 4 p.m. in 238 Malott Hall. His topic will be "Use of Computers in Science Education." The other colloquium will be Monday at 4:30 p.m. in 332 Malott. Alfred Zawadowski from the Central Research Institute for Physics in Budapest will talk about the "Effects of Roton-Roton Interactions on the Excitation Spectrum of Superfluid Helium."
Scholarship Awarded to Peruvian
A Peruvian student at the University of Kansas has received the first Maude Elliot Scholarship for Latin American Students. The student is Manuel H. Fasce, Lima, Peru, junior majoring in aerospace engineering. Fasce was chosen by a committee from the KU Office of Student Financial Aid with help from the department of Spanish. The Maude Elliot Scholarship Fund was created last January to honor Miss Elliot, a KU alumna and former member of the Spanish department faculty. Her brother, Samuel H. Elliot of Cleveland, Ohio, presented the initial gift of $25,000 to the KU Endowment Association.

means to solve the crisis. The department's official spokesman, Robert McCloskey, said U.S. officials were appealing to the Soviet Union to bring pressure on Syria to get its armed forces out of Jordan.
"We are looking to the Soviet Union to persuade the Syrians to withdraw their tanks," McCloskey said. "The most significant diplomatic effort is the approach to the Soviet Union."
Moscow was virtually silent on the crisis. The government newspaper published a brief item Tuesday saying that the United States was looking for a pretext to intervene in Jordan.
Izvestia appealed to both Palestinians and Jordanians to stop fighting.
Israeli sources said Hussein had ordered two brigades of armored troops into northwest Jordan for a counterattack at Irbid, Jordan's second largest city which fell to Syrian-supported guerrillas Monday.
Arafat, the Fatah militant who has spearheaded the campaign against Hussein, sent a cable to Arab leaders in Cairo which described the situation in Jordan as "a massacre, never witnessed in history before."
"They (the Jordanian army) are determined to exterminate our people," Arafat said. "After they failed to destroy our people themselves, the landing of American troops with their collusion is a matter of hours away."
In Cairo, an Egyptian government spokesman said Arab
leaders trying to end the war in Jordan sent a top-level delegation to Amman. It was headed by the premier of the Sudan, Maj. Gen. Jaafar El-Numeiry.
Power Low After Heat In East
NEW YORK (UPI) — Heavy electric usage on a last-day-of-summer heat wave and equipment failures triggered power shortages along much of the Eastern seaboard Tuesday. Limited blackouts were imposed in six states plus the nation's capital during peak afternoon usage.
Many power companies returned to normal commitments after cutting voltage for periods ranging from a few minutes to several hours. A second round of power cuts began in some places Tuesday night.
In the worst power ebb since the Northeast blackout of 1965, some of the affected block of states borrowed power from each other and from sources as far west as Illinois where Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago said it expected to pump 1.2 million kilowatts into East Coast circuits before the day ended.
Ninety-degree temperatures and high humidity were the rule and the Weather Bureau was expecting more of the same for Wednesday, which would prolong the crisis in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas and the District of Columbia.
Lecture Series On Sexuality Soon to Begin
"Male-Female Human Sexual Response (Physiology, Conception and Birth)" will be the first in a continuing series of the University of Kansas Human Sexual Center (HSEC) to be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday in Woodruff Auditorium.
HSEC, a committee of the KU Commission on the Status of Women, is concerned with providing an adult sex education program at KU. It is designed to educate women in the physiological and psychological aspects of sex.
New Environmental Institute to Spark Interest in Courses
The Institute for Social and Environmental Studies (ISES) is a new organization which grew out of the combination of two other groups, the Center for Governmental Research and the Center for Regional Studies.
Robert A. Aageenbrug, associate professor of geography and chairman of the ISES said that one of the major functions of the organization is the establishment of a subcommittee dealing with the environmental studies program. The subcommittee has two major goals:
- To introduce a proposal for course work which could receive approval as leading to an undergraduate degree in environmental studies, and
- To direct concern and interest to existing courses relevant to environmental studies.
