Wants Bi-Racial Groups
Ike Wants South to Solve Own Problems
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Eisenhower today advocated the formation of bi-racial conferences in every Southern community to help settle racial tensions locally rather than depending on the federal government.
Eisenhower, commenting on recent Negro demonstrations in the South against being banned from public lunch counters, said he thought that such demonstrations, if orderly and seeking to support the rights of equality, were constitutional. Therefore, he said they should be permitted.
Ike Will Back Nixon for Pres.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. —(UPI)— Vice President Richard M. Nixon's name was entered today in the May 3 Indiana Republican Presidential Preference Primary and his backers said they would begin immediately to campaign on his behalf.
Petitions bearing the names of approximately 9,000 voters were submitted with Nixon's declaration of candidacy. Indiana law requires 500 signatures.
At the same time President Eisenhower abandoned all pretense of neutrality and made it clear that Vice President Richard M. Nixon is his personal choice for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination.
The President also said he would do anything he could to help the Republican ticket if he is asked to do so.
Eisenhower was asked at his news conference about remarks attributed to him in an off-the-record talk at the Gridiron Club dinner here Saturday night. He was quoted as having said that those at the lead table needed only to move two seats over from where he was sitting to greet the next president at its dinner next year. Nixon was sitting two seats away.
Pres. Eisenhower laughed and replied to his questioner that reporters were never present at gridiron dinners and that certainly no guest had been guilty of reporting what he said.
But as long as it was out, he added, he didn't mind clarifying what he said. He said he was talking about geographical areas in which certain people were sitting at the dinner.
But he went on to say that if anyone wondered whether he had a preference or even a bias about the choice of his successor, the answer was yes—very definitely.
In the past, Pres. Eisenhower has made clear his approval of Nixon and has admitted there is no contest in sight for the 1960 GOP nomination. But at the same time he has said he thought there were a number of Republicans qualified for the White House and made it plain he thought it would be improper for him to endorse anyone.

The President reserved judgment, however, on disorder resulting from such demonstrations. He told his news conference he was not a lawyer and could not determine the extent to which the federal constitution might apply. Furthermore, he said, disorder was a matter for local handling. That, he said, was one principal reason why he thought there should be bi-bracial conferences in every southern community in an effort to reduce conflict between the races without turning to Washington for the answer.
A chain of "sit in" strikes protesting racial discrimination at lunch counters has occurred throughout the South. Negroes—many of them college students—have filled lunch counter seats where, in most instances, they are refused service while seated. White sympathizers have joined them in some places.
Scores of arrests have occurred in the South and there have been episodes of violence. This wek, Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), urged President Eisenhower to have federal agencies protect the constitutional rights of Negro "sit in" protesters in Alabama. Other highlights of the President's first news conference since Feb. 17.
He said that, in requesting congressional changes in the sugar quota act, there was no thought whatever of punishing the people of Cuba or the Cuban government. He said because of conditions in Cuba, however, he wanted the authority to turn to other sources of sugar supply should there be some interference with shipments of Cuban sugar to this country.
He made painstakingly plain that Vice President Richard M. Nixon is his personal preference for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination.
- He said he felt the United States disarmament plan submitted in Geneva with its provisions for gradual effectiveness and sure safeguards on compliance was vastly preferable to the Russian total disarmament, four-year program.
- He rejected as untrue reports from abroad that he had an agreement with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to avoid "rocking the boat" pending the May summit meeting.
- He restated the government's position that there would be no change in policy toward Berlin at the summit conference in May.
- Told of the apprehension of some businessmen about the picture of future prosperity, Eisenhower said he thought the national economic outlook for the rest of this year was very healthy and very fine. He conceded that certain economic indicators were not advancing upward as rapidly as some business leaders would like.

3. Appointment to ASC committees shall be made by petition. Dalby said to avoid direct appointment by the student body president, committee applicants will fill out petitions and indicate a definite interest in serving on the committee. The petitions also enable the ASC to find out the applicant's qualifications and past experience. Dalby recommended that the student body president set up a committee to review all petitions for council committees and this committee will make the selections.
4. Extend the break between classes. Dalby said that it is physically impossible for students to walk the distance from the Music and Dramatic Arts Building to Myers Hall in ten minutes. Dalby suggested that the break between classes be lengthened to approximately 12 minutes. He said the need for more time between classes has been a common feeling among students and it is part of the duty of the student government to voice the ideas of students.
5. Have ID exchange for more athletic events. Dalby hopes that exchanges will be available for more basketball games and the cost of $1 for the exchanges will be lowered. He said the main reason for charging the $1 is to pay for the printing of the exchange tickets. Dalby said that if the ASC could use some of its own funds to print the tickets, it would reduce the cost or possibly do away with it.
6. Promote better relationships between KU and Lawrence. A complete text of the Vox platform will be released later this week.
Faubus Seeks 4th Term as Governor
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —(UPI)—Gov. Orval E. Faubus, a symbol of segregation since his defiance of court integration orders in 1957, announced today he will seek a fourth term.
The governor said he would continue to defend the "sovereign rights" of Arkansas and the right of the people to "manage their own affairs" as set out in the state and federal constitutions.
Faubus is the first governor in the history of Arkansas to seek a fourth term, and is only the second to have won three terms.
"On this, there will be no compromise on my part," Faubus said. "There can be no compromise with the usurpation of the people's rights which brings about tyranny."

Miss Sprague, born Sept. 7, 1874, requested full retirement from her position as head of the KU home economics department in September of 1941. She had served in that position since 1914.
Miss Sprague was one of few women attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1898. She studied under Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, often called the "founder of home economics."
During World War I, Miss Sprague was called to Washington by the United States Food Administration to serve as adviser and director of investigations in food preparation.
In 1918 she collaborated with Dr. Katherine Blunt of the University of Chicago and Florence Powdermaker in the writing of "Food and War," a volume prepared under the direction of the collegiate section of the Food Administration.
From 1902-06, Miss Sprague collaborated with Dr. H. S. Grindley at the University of Illinois on the study of meat cookery which was the first comprehensive study of this type.
During her administration at the University of Kansas, the physical equipment was doubled, the home management house built, and the curriculum was greatly broadened
Last year, Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the KU Endowment Association announced that Miss Sprague had contributed a sizable amount of money toward the construction of a ten-unit, retired faculty apartment building to be named in her honor.
Miss Sprague was the first president of the Kansas Home Economics Association and was presented with a citation by that group in March, 1942.
The $214.000 structure, located at 14th Street and Lilac Lane, will open for occupancy this spring.
Concerning Miss Sprague's contribution, Mr. Youngberg said:
"This is another example of the generosity of numerous staff and faculty members which has helped to make the University an even greater institution."
