Ancient Chinese Project Begins
Benjamin Wallacker; instructor of Chinese, will become an expert on warfare - ancient Chinese warfare.
Mr. Wallacker will be translating the biographies of two generals of the sixth century western Wei or northern Chou through Chinese dynastic annals and histories.
SURROUNDED BY CHINESE textbooks, and volumes of Chinese prose and poetry, Mr. Wallacker explained his mission:
"For some reason, the Chinese have always been interested in keeping historical records. Eventually the tradition developed whereby every new dynasty compiled a complete history of the previous dynasty.
"Date-to-date annals record important decisions, battles and appointments of the Emperor. Then there are smaller chapters dealing with men and their careers. We're going to call them biographies. There are important sketches from every dynasty."
Docking's House Up for Sale Here
Gov. Docking said Monday that the house was valued around $30,000, but did not disclose a selling price.
Gov. and Mrs. George Docking have placed their two-story colonial style house in Lawrence for sale.
The Governor declined to confirm or deny that putting the Lawrence home for sale might mean he does not plan to return to Lawrence.
"I don't know what I'm going to do from one day to the next," said Docking. "It's not good to plan so far ahead." He said he and Mrs. Docking "have thought about getting rid of the house and getting a smaller one for some time."
Mrs. Docking said that she and the governor "have no definite plans for the future" and selling the house "does not necessarily mean that we will not return to Lawrence."
The house, which is located at 1604 Stratford Rd. has been rented to Mr. Arden Booth and family since Docking became governor three years ago.
Religious Council Names New Officers

Thev are:
James Anderson, Lawrence sophomore, president; John K. Kimberlin, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, vice president; Nancy Vogel, Lawrence sophomore, secretary; Ward Sample, Lawrence junior, treasurer; and Carol Cease, Ogden, Utah, junior, public relations chairman.
Gov. Earl Long Will Run for Re-Election
BATON ROUGE, La. — (UPI) — Gov. Earl Long, 64, announced yesterday that he will run for governor again in 1964 and got a standing ovation from state labor leaders.
Long, who battled his way out of three mental hospital wards last summer, disclosed his intention to seek re-election in addressing a session of the Louisiana AFL-CIO Labor Council Annual Convention.
The instructor of the first KU course in Chinese language described studies of these biographies as "annotative." In other words, the meanings are not obvious; they must be searched out.
"IN TRANSLATING, one runs across many battles and engagements. It requires a great deal of work on battle methods of the times and many cross-references to other military men and their biographies," said Prof. Wallacker.
The instructor gave a brief histori cal sketch in background.
In the year 530 AD the northern Wei, or northern China dynasty was split into two smaller divisions, the eastern and western Weis. The eastern Wei had the economic advantage, but the western Wei had the talents of military leaders Wang P1 and Wang Szu-cheng. Mr. Wallacker is
interested in the lives of these two men.
"THIS PERIOD in Chinese history has not received much attention because north China was ruled by a barbarian element, and the Chinese, naturally, do not like to concentrate on it," the instructor continued.
Mr. Wallacker commented on his vocation:
"Philology is the love of language of a special kind," he said. "My interest is in the text itself."
Mr. Wallacker described his summer task as small:
"THE HISTORIES of some twenty-five dynasties amount to this much writing," he said, holding his hands vertically about two feet apart. "Only this much has been translated." He measured approximately one inch.
Why is he translating the biographies?
"Histories are the raw materials we have," he answered. "Translating things of this sort is the best exercise possible in the study of classical Chinese."

--involved in the dismissal of Prof. Koch. The UPI said that the students said that they were not necessarily in sympathy with Prof. Koch's views or the manner in which he publicized them. But the students passed a resolution urging that Prof. Koch be granted all channels of appeal.

ASK ABOUT OUR FUR AND WOOL STORAGE
John Patton, professor in the School of Religion, said that he thought Prof. Koch's views were psychologically and morally unseud. He said that one must use discretion in the expression of opinions, always keeping the consequences of his opinions in mind. He said:
"I DO NOT agree that this (Prof. Koch's theory on pre-marital relations) guarantees sexual compatibility. This is not subject to proof at the present. There are so many possibilities of danger that he is overlooking."
Prof. Patton said that an individual should feel free to say what is on his mind. He said that when a person has this freedom he must be ready to take some of the consequences and that Prof. Koch should have looked ahead before making his statements.
Illinois Prof Supported
(Continued from page 1)
"There is a tendency for certain mediocre and irresponsible academicians who desire a 'labor union' of teachers to guarantee them tenure for the rest of their lives so that they need not really enter intellectual competition to maintain their academic positions," Prof. Patton concluded.
THE ILLINOIS students held a $ 2^{1 \frac{1}{2}} $ hour session last night to consider the issue of academic freedom
Prof. Koch will argue his case Monday before the University Senate Committee on Academic Freedom, a faculty group, the UPI said. The 44-year-old professor asked for the hearing after he was dismissed by the University of Illinois' president, David R. Henry.

"We chose the ceiling cable type of electric heat so that it would be completely out of the way," says Mrs. Palmer, "no little fingers can touch it. Besides, the elimination of a furnace from the basement meant more room for our four children to play. Electric heat is absolutely clean, too. Yes, we like Reddy Kilowatt very much."
Mr. Falmer is proud of his *invisible* electric heat installation.
Ceilings throughout the house are imbedded with insulated cable and covered with plaster. Gentle sun-like warmth radiates down; more heat in baby's room - less in other areas - thanks to the room-by-room temperature control of modern electric heat.
