Starlight to Feature 'The Student Prince'
KANSAS CITY. Mo.—(Special)—Monday night, July 25, the enchanting sounds of Sigmund Romberg's immortal music will fill the 7.600-seat Starlight theater as the ever-popular "Student Prince" opens for a one-week stand in the outdoor playhouse.
Court to Hold Final Session
The last meeting of the Student Court for the Summer Session will be held at 7 p.m. Monday in the Courtroom of Green Hall.
All people having filed appeals prior to that time should appear.
Medical Center Receives Grants
Research to help correct speech problems of children with cleft palate will be made possible by a $10,983 grant awarded by the Easter Seal Research Foundation to the KU Medical Center. It was one of two grants to scientists at the center in Kansas City.
Ralph Shelton Jr., assistant professor of speech pathology, will conduct the project with children ranging in age from 8 to 12, covering a period of three years.
Radiologic and speech rating procedures in testing children who are being treated at the cleft palate clinic at the University will be used. Ten or more children will be in each group and speech samples will be obtained in filming and recording sessions.
Fifteen graduate students of speech pathology will be utilized in the evaluation of results of the tests. During the rating, speech samples will be presented at random, and factors such as distance from the loud speaker and extraneous noise will be controlled.
A $10,000 grant from the Easter Seal Research Foundation was also awarded the University to support a career research investigator. He will conduct a study of the relationship between body structure and behavioral functioning as a possible source of psychological understandings about man and his relationships to his environment. The project will also seek to learn the effects which alterations, deviations and disturbances in the physique of man have upon his intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning.
The research specialist to head this project will be selected before Jan. 1, 1961, by Dr. M. Erik Wright, professor of psychology and psychiatry, and Dr. Franklin C. Shontz.
Polaris Poses New Problem
This will be the only Romberg show of the year, and theater officials are expecting the work to draw some of the top crowds of the season.
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—The unqualified success of the first Polaris missile launches from a submerged submarine has focused attention on one of the toughest problems to confront the Defense Department in the missile era.
Singer John Raitt will close in "The Pajama Game" this Sunday night, after a successful week in the modern musical spoof of labor and management. Raitt created the role on Broadway, played it there for two years, made the motion picture version with Doris Day and also is featured on the best selling record album.
Tickets are available for the Romberg show by writing the Starlight Theatre Ticket Office, Department JP, 1217 Walnut, Kansas City, Missouri. Ticket prices are as follows: Box — $4; Orchestra — $3.50; Loge — $3; Areng “A” “B” “C” — $2.50; $2; $1.50. All of these seats are reserved and may be ordered in advance.
Sigmund Romberg occupies a special niche in the American theater and also at the Starlight, for it was the world renowned composer who conducted the overture to the 1951 opening of the civic theater in Kansas City when his "Desert Song" started the theater's production repertory.
In "The Student Prince" Romberg has attained what most critics feel is the pinnacle of his musical ability. The musical numbers have become classics of our time. Such melodies as "Deep In My Heart," "Serenade," "Golden Days," "The Drinking Song," "Gaude amus Igitur," and other immortal songs have raised this show to the top of the show business world.
Singers Bill Hayes, Monte Amundson and Richard Torigi take leading roles in the production, along with comic Colee Worth. The entire Starlight theater singing and dancing ensembles will also be featured, including the men's singing chorus, a rousing group that will be featured in several outstanding songs in the production.
The question is whether to create a powerful new U.S. Strategic Command that would merge the Navy's soon-to-be-ready Polaris sub forces and the Air Force's bomber and missile units.
In addition, there are 1,700 seats which go on sale each night at the theater as $1 general admission seats. There is no advance sale in this section. Telephone reservations are accepted Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Grand 1-5510, or at Delmar 3-9481 after 6 p.m. and on Sundays.
The Navy hotly opposes it. Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. and the Joint Chiefs of Staff have labored over the problem for many months.
The Air Force originated the idea of a new nuclear striking arm, combining U.S. retaliatory forces under a single command—most likely an Air Force general.
Thus, once again the Pentagon faces the prospect of developing novel weapons faster than it can reach decisions on how to organize and command them.

Ten Teachers Attend NSF Program Here
Ten college teachers of chemistry from throughout the country are participating in a National Science Foundation-sponsored research program at the University this summer
Calvin A. VanderWerf, professor of chemistry, is director of the program, established by the KU chemistry department for the first time this year. It is similar to two previous programs for high school teachers.
"We were especially interested in finding teachers who would, on the basis of their experience here, be qualified and equipped to initiate a strong research program at their own colleges." Prof. VanderWerf said.
Applicants were screened by the department of chemistry. All have previously earned masters degrees and some, the degree doctor of philosophy.
The teachers participate in research programs being conducted by senior members of the KU faculty, in the laboratories and libraries of the chemistry department.
In addition, they attend a series of lectures and seminars that provide them with an intensive grounding in the organization of research.
Those participating in the program are Dr. David E. Clark, Fresno State College, Fresno, Calif.; Sister Helen Joseph COVER, CSJ, Fontbonne College, St. Louis, Mo.; Dr John A. Davis, Washburn University, Topeka; Dr. Wesley DeCoursey, McPherson College, McPherson; Dr Richard Javick, King's College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Prof. Oscar Jones, Grambling,
Louisiana; Dr. Philip Kinsey, Evansville College, Evansville, Ind.; Prof.
Edward C. Morris, William Penn College, Oskaloosa, Iowa; Dr. Robert Pfeiffer, University of Santa Clara, Santa Clara, Calif., and Mrs. Dorothy Tobias, Camerson State Agricultural College, Lawton, Okla.

CHICAGO—(UPI) - Crowd engineer Andy Braun has assembled a stable of "Judas goat" demonstrators and vows there'll be no gallery packing at the Republican National Convention if he has his way.
GOP Wants Meek Lambs
Frain said he devised a plan to keep non-partisan tab on demonstrators when they're admitted to International Amphitheatre for flag-waving, drum-thumping rallies next week—and to lead them off the
floor like sheep when the chairman pounds his gayel.
"There'll be no gate crashing" he said, "and none of the stuff like what happened out in Los Angeles last week."
Frain, an old hand at ushering people in and keeping them out, referred to the way partisan forces packed the galleries and demonstrations went unchecked at the Democratic Convention.
