Imperial Colonel Says Iranians Hate Russians
An Imperial Iranian army colonel said last night that "the people of Iran hate Russia and communism."
Col. A. M. Massumi spoke to members of Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society, on the defense organization of the Iranian army.
"The Shah will die to stay pro-West. He knows that there is no other way for his people," the officer said.
Col. Massumi, now attending the Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, clearly explained Iran's strong, pro-Western position in a question and answer period following his talk.
Communists Uncovered
Col. Massumi told of an incident three years ago when a ring of 500 pro-Communist officers was discovered in the Iranian army.
"The government executed 27 of the traitors for treason. The important point is that the people wholly backed the government's decision.
"This wasn't the first time that Russia tried to take over control of Iran. An attempt was made right after World War II. Pressure from the United Nations and United States with the strong anti-Communist attitude prevalent in Iran forced Russia to withdraw," he said.
He quickly added that immediately upon the withdrawal of Russian troops, the pupet government it had set up collapsed."
It long has been Russia's ambition to conquer Iran. The Russians have a 1400-mile common border with Iran. It is the combination of Iran's warm-water port and oil resources that tempt its giant neighbor today.
"Russia has offered our country aid on numerous occasions. It even said once that it would give us more monetary in one lump sum than the United States has altogether since World War II.

"Russia has shown its bad intentions everywhere in the world. How could we accept aid from such a country" he asked ___.

'Stop' Day Not Likely
A "stop" day between the last day of classes and the beginning of final week is not a strong possibility this semester at KU.
James K. Hitt, registrar, told students and faculty present at yesterday's meeting of the College Intermediary Board the mechanics of scheduling were a major stumbling block in the way of a "stop" day which would allow students a chance for review before finals begin.
This semester classes will end Thursday, May 26, and finals are scheduled to begin friday. May 27.
Mr. Hitt said last semester classes fortunately ended on Saturday, and finals began the next Monday, giving every student at least a one day break.
Mr. Hitt said that it was possible for the Calendar Committee to make the same arrangements for future spring semesters, but that it would involve rearranging commencement exercises.
He added, "You have no idea of how may vested interests are involved in commement, particularly among the alumni."

Mr. Hitt explained that commencement complicated matters because the baccalaureate sermon is given traditionally the Sunday following final week, and the graduation ceremony is held the next day.
The placement of these ceremonies has resulted in the necessity of having seniors' final grades by the Thursday preceding graduation in order that the list of candidates for graduation can be ready by Saturday night for the printer to list in the official program, Mr. Hitt explained.
He said it is hard to squeeze final week to less than six days. Thus, final week is scheduled to begin on Friday.
Mr. Hitt said the other alternatives were (1) reducing classes by one day (2) reducing spring vacation by one day.

New KU-Y Officers Take Over Duties
Kuhn Says Man Still Seeking to Know Self
By Bill Blundell
A command from the Olympian god Apollo to "know thyself" shapes man's thinking today—more than two thousand years after it was first revealed.
Helmut Kuhn, professor of philosophy at the University of Munich, said this last night at a lecture in Summerfield Hall.
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.—Henry Thoreau
Professor Kuhn said the Apollinian dictum first came to flower in the Greek world of about 500 B. C., and has advanced to the modern world after undergoing modification by such thinkers as Socrates, Plato and Cicero.
Cosmos Studied
"In the pre-Socratic era, man took the god's advice to mean the study of the cosmos, the eternal and unchanging order of the universe. The ancient thinkers considered that some knowledge of the divine laws governing the order of the cosmos must be gained before any understanding of the nature of man is possible."
Prof. Kuhn said Socrates "reversed the order of inquiry by maintaining that man should first attempt to know the essential truths about his own nature before delving into the mysteries of the universe.
Prof. Kuhn said the introspection begun by Socrates did not banish the contemplation of divine order from the minds of men.
"The study of man did not limit the scope of the search for the eternal truths. But, man occupied the center of the human thinking."
Man Sees His Limits
The NEW
"We must remember that we cannot judge man by his own standards. We are humans, not gods, and we must be measured by a universal standard, the standard of God himself."
Man Sees His Limits Prof. Kuhn said that the study of man before the study of nature naturally led to the discovery and recognition of man's limitations, a discovery he said was essential to man's search for truth.
