No Probation for Kansas Brewster Gets NCAA Penalizes HOPE Award Indiana U. Only
Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, was selected as the 1960 recipient of the Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators award at the Senior Coffee this morning.
This $100 award is given to a full-time faculty member who has made the greatest contribution to the welfare of his students and the prestige of the university in the arts or sciences during the year.
Seniors Donate To KU Baseball
The final vote followed a lengthy meeting of the senior class at this morning's Senior Coffee.
The seniors today talked down the proposed senior gift of an insurance plan and voted to present the University with team dugouts and an electrical scoreboard for Quigley Field.
Larry Kevan, Kansas City, Kans., senior, presented the proposal of the gift to the class members. Floyd Temple, assistant director of athletics and baseball coach, also spoke to the class about the gift. He said:
"One of the main reasons we would like to have the dugouts and scoreboard is that we would like to create a baseball program that would be comparable to the football and basketball programs here at KU."
William Harper, Topeka senior, led the floor discussion against the insurance plan. He said:
"If our selection is to invest money, why not take the $2.50 (that part of the $4.00 senior dues that will go toward the senior gift) and put it in a mutual fund that would grow over the years?"
Harper's proposal fused other suggestions for senior gifts. Edward Spencer, Kansas City, Mo., senior, proposed that the class of 1690 add to the HOPE fund that was started by last year's graduating class.
Hal Archer, Olathe senior, suggested that the list of proposed gifts be referred back to the gift committee for further deliberation.
The 68-year-old professor has been at the University of Kansas for over 40 years, and was head of the chemistry department from 1940 to 1956. When he stepped down from this job, he was immediately asked to instruct the freshmen students in chemistry, which he still does.
In 1957 Prof. Brewster was presented with the Midwest Award in

Lack of Quorum Handcuffs ASC In Last Session
The new council will officially take office at the ASC meeting next Tuesday.
SEOUL, Korea —(UPI)— Peace returned gradually to the riot-torn Republic of Korea today with the advent of Foreign Minister Hu Chung as acting president. Only scattered incidents were reported against remnants of the ousted regime of President Syngman Rhee. (See earlier story on page 8.)
KAMON AND LUIS MAYOR
"Cuban people have never been happier.."
The bill providing for a central filing system of course outlines was scheduled to come before the council for its final vote.

The action against Indiana, apparently arising from alleged football recruiting violations, was believed one of the most severe punishments meted out by the NCAA Council. Four years ago the Council placed North Carolina State College on four years probation for alleged basketball recruiting violations.
No action was taken today against KU by the NCAA council investigating alleged recruiting infractions.
An Atlanta newspaper said before the NCAA met that Kansas was one of the schools that the infractions committee had recommended action against.
The United Press International reported that the council had closed its infractions investigation and no further action was expected from the Atlanta meeting.
The only university penalized by the NCAA was Indiana. The school was placed on probation for a four year period and had additional sanctions imposed which affect the school's eligibility for NCAA events.
Rumors said that Bert Coan, KU's sensational transfer halftack from Texas Christian University, was the center of the case against KU. Coan and three Texas A & M football players transferred to KU last fall. A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, director of athletics, said;
It had been reported that other schools — namely Kansas, North Carolina and Louisiana State — were on the council carpet. But NCAA executive director Walter Byers said that the action against Indiana was the only one to be announced.
This could mean either that reported cases against the other schools will be taken up at a later session of the council — or have been dropped, the UPI reported.
"I don't even know if we were discussed, but at least this settles it right now.
"The way the NCAA acts you would have to say that no news is good news and the less said the better," he said.
Murphy Gives Farewell Talk
Dr. Murphy, who is a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, said:
Dr. Wescoe said he was looking forward to a happy stay in Lawrence.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said good-by to the city of Lawrence ast night.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce honored a "fond farewell for Dr. Murphy and a hearty welcome for Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe" in the Kansas Union. More than 300 persons were present at the banquet.
Dr. Murphy said that one cannot rationalize away sadness in leaving. "The only redeeming feature is my successor who is a man of capacity, courage and has a feeling for people."
Despite the forward progress of the city, Dr. Murphy warned against complacency.
"My work with the Board was a creative business — a feeling of building and forming for the future."
The Chancellor said he believed in the citizen's responsibility to himself, his neighbor and city.
Olin Petelish, retiring president of the Chamber, introduced Dr. Wescoe first as a "worthy successor to a great man."
"To continue to build a greater community is actually a creative duty where each man must contribute to his neighbor," he said.
Worthy Successor
"I cannot understand the philosophy of people who can't find a few dollars to help their children in school or their neighbor's children."
KU Cuban Students Say Fear Of Communism Unfounded
Bv Bill Blundell
The fear that Cuba may become a Communist satellite in Uncle Sam's back yard is unfounded, two Cuban students said last night.
"Cuba will never go Communist," said Luis Mayor, Placeca, Cuba, in an interview. His brother, Ramon, was also interviewed.
"All you have to do is look at the history of Cuba," said Luis. "We have always been a liberty-loving people. Also, I doubt that very many of our people even know what communism is. All they want is a better life, a life which will let them live like human beings."
People Support Castro He said the people still support Castro strongly and feel that they have at last achieved honest government after five decades of corruption.
People Support Castro
"I wish you could have seen my
hometown, when I was there at Christmas," said Luis. "For the first time, the people were happy with their government, people who had never been happy before."
He said that the recent insurrection in the Sierra Maestra is not a true indication of the feelings of the people. He explained that the large landholders who had a vested interest in the Batista regime were involved in the recent attempt at counter-revolution.
Recall Terrorism
"They are probably the ones who are sponsoring it," said Ramon.
"Sometimes the Batista police would raid us in our boarding

houses," said Luis, speaking of his daws at Havana University. "They would even stand us up against the wall, with our hands above our heads and placed on the wall, and search us for arms."
Does the recent defection of ranking rebel military leaders, including the former head of Castro's air force, show that Castro's revolution is not the humanistic social revolt he said it was?
"These men were not the actual leaders of the revolution. That is to say, they were part of the revolution, but they had none of the revolutionary ideals, here," said Luis, placing his hand over his heart. Their interests were personal and selfish." he added.
The brothers said that the recent flood of anti-American propaganda published under the auspices of the
