British Empire Has New Prince
LONDON —(UPI)— Queen Elizabeth gave birth today to a boy, the first prince to be born to a reigning British monarch in more than a century. Both mother and son were reported doing well.
Friday, Feb. 19, 1960
The infant Prince, as yet unnamed, was born at 3:30 p.m. (9:30
Posting of the official announcement on the palace gates sent up an explosion of cheering from the hundreds of watchful Britons outside. It brought joy to an entire nation and its partners in the British Commonwealth.
"The Queen was safely delivered of a son at 3:30 p.m. today. Her majesty and the infant prince are doing well."
The announcement was signed by the Queen's four doctors, who had been together in Buckingham Palace a little over seven hours before the birth.
The announcement declared:
The baby, second in line to the throne from the moment of birth, was born in the Belgian suite on the ground floor of the 690-room palace. The suite had been converted into a delivery room for the occasion.
Doctors Sign Notice
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
The newborn son will not be named for several days or a week. There has been some speculation that President Eisenhower might be one of the child's godfathers.
Word has flashed around the world to commonwealth nations and to the heads of state of other lands.
Prince Charles, 11, is the heir. Princess Anne, 9, now drops behind her new brother to third in line. Princess Margaret, the Queen's sister and the baby's aunt, becomes fourth.
Name to Be Delayed
The official announcement of the birth was made 30 minutes after the delivery. It climaxed nearly 30 hours of tension that grew to almost impossible proportions. The heightening suspense in the 33-year-old Queen's lengthening confinement sent rumors and false reports around the world.
New Prince Hailed by Ike
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Eisenhower, on behalf of the American people, congratulated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip today on the birth of the new prince.
"I know that all Americans join with Mrs. Eisenhower and myself in congratulating her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Philip on the birth of their new son, and are delighted by the news that the Queen and her son are doing well." Eisenhower said in a statement.
The White House said the President also had sent a personal message to the Queen.
"May the Prince have a long, happy and useful life."
Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said Eisenhower had learned of the birth from a news ticker bulletin which Hagerty delivered to him. The President was in his office signing papers at the time.
Chessman Gets Sixty Day Stay
Fricke Resigns Post, Perry to Fill Position
SAN QUENTIN, Calif. — (UPI)—Caryl Chessman escaped death by 10 hours today with a reprieve born of world protests, indecision over capital punishment and concern over President Eisenhower's Latin American tour next week.
Hagerty said he told the President "The United Kingdom has a new prince."
William Fricke, Jefferson City, Mo., senior, resigned as head cheerleader Tuesday night. Jane Perry, Lawrence junior, assistant head cheerleader, will fill the vacated position for the remainder of the basketball season.
Visiting Professor To Speak at Forum

Intruder Is Apprehended In KU Women's Dormitory
Campus police arrested a 36-year-old out-of-state traveling salesman last night while he was roaming through the halls of Corbin Hall.
Police Chief Joe Skillman said that a group of women cornered the intruder and engaged him in conversation until police arrived.
The musical instrument salesman, here for the Kansas music educators meeting, was fined $25 and given a 10-day suspended jail sentence for disturbing the peace this morning in Police Court.
The freshman women's dormitories have been having trouble with such unwelcome visitors sporadically for the past year, the latest incident was Tuesday at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall.
---
Kala Mays, assistant director of Corbin Hall, Betty Huntington, assistant director of Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, and four residents of the hall identified the man as the prowler at the city police station. Police did not tie the incident in with previous illegal entrances.
---
The women however, told uDK reporter the man was the same person who had entered GSP last Tuesday. They said they felt reasonably sure he was the same person who had similarly entered the dormitories last fall.
Women students and a ballad singer aided in the apprehension of the mysterious visitor of Corbin Hall and GSP last night.
The color of his suit had changed from brown to gray since Tuesday's report, but the gold in his teeth still gleamed.
The intruder was discovered when a freshman woman walked into a restroom on second floor Corbin-South. The woman screamed. The man ran downstairs.
He went through the adjoining dining rooms and into the snack-bar area. There, he was detained by a woman who inquired about his presence on the lower (third) floor of the dormitory.
A counselor arrived on the scene and asked him to go with her.
The lobby of Corbin then turned into a dramatic setting. How do unarmed women keep a man from leaving?
Jim McMullan, Long Beach senior and ballad singer, provided the answer.

Miss Mays reported:
"He just stood there and the man didn't care to go on by him.
"Mr. Brown-to-Gray Suit' used much the same dialogue as GSP's intruder did Tuesday evening. The intruder said he was 'lost,' 'looking for someone' and 'very embarrassed.'"
She quoted the man as saying:
"I don't understand why you're detaining me, I think I'd better go now."
But, the determination of the women and the solid body of McMullan kept him from leaving until the police arrived.
---
Under the questioning of the women, he explained his reason for being on the residence floor.
"I had to use the restroom and found the closest one."
Miss Mays, four Corbin students and Betty Huntington, resident director of G.S.P., went to the Lawrence police station to identify the man.
The women viewed him through a one-way window and all identified him as being the same man that they had seen in the halls during one of visits.
Miss Huntington said he was definitely the same man that she had talked with Tuesday evening.
Engineering Education Change Urged
A professor from the U.S.S.R. today said the United States will never catch up with Russia in engineering if it does not change its means of educating engineers.
"You cannot measure an engineering school with a college yardstick. Liberal arts colleges and engineering schools are far too different for both to receive maximum attention when they are under the same governing body."
Grigori A. Tokaty, a visiting professor of aeronautical engineering at KU said;
Prof. Tokaty came to KU in 1959 from England where he had taught and done some government work for 10 years.
calized that more than 12 years ago. He credited the great Soviet advancements in the field of science to this realization.
That could be accomplished by joining the University of Kansas and Kansas State University's engineering schools under a separate head and forming a technical university, he said.
Prof, Tokaty said that the U.S.S.R realized that more than 12 years ago
Seven Years Required Prof. Tokaty said that under the existing university conditions, it
Seven Years Required
Prof. Tokaty said the reason for this was that a number of small engineering departments trying to teach as many different engineering courses as one major engineering university requires a number of additional instructors.
would take up to seven years to prepare an engineer adequately. In a specialized engineering university this could be reduced to five or six years, he said.
"One of the weaknesses of the existing system is that it requires too many teachers at a professional level. Thus it is too easy to become a professor of one degree or another. Consequently, are we sure all our professors are of the necessary caliber?"
In an article published in the January, 1960, edition of the "Kansas Engineer." Prof. Tokaty states:
Prof. Tokaty said it would be better to have large lecture rooms with principal lectures given by top academic professors.
Prof, Tokaty said he felt that engineers should be experts and that they could only be prepared in professional schools.
Engineer Needs Liberal Arts "I don't mean to say that these schools should exclude liberal arts
study. A person cannot be called a modern engineer until he has studied some liberal arts. If he relies completely on a technical education, he will be nothing but a robot."
However, Prof. Tokaty said there was no need to make liberal arts courses compulsory to receive a diploma in engineering.
He said:
"Instead there should be selected lectures in arts, painting, music, etc."
"The engineers should not be tested on this material. If you give tests on these or political issues or if you make such courses compulsory, you are forcing your opinions on the student."
Russians Have No 'Free Mind'
Russians Have No 'Free Mind'
He said that is what the U.S.S.R. is requiring of its engineering students.
"As a result the graduate of a Soviet institution is a good engineer, but he does not have a free mind.
but he does not have a free mind. "This is not an original idea. When I was in England, the British were using it."
"Quality engineers are grown men who should want to read about controversial subjects. It should be the objective of the liberal arts department to inspire them to read, not to force them to acquire a given view by giving tests over this material."
Gov. Edmund Brown ordered a 60-day stay of execution shortly after midnight and said he would call a special session of the state legislature next month to give the people of California an opportunity "to express themselves once more on capital punishment."
Thus, the life of the 38-year-old condemned robber, rapist and kidnapper was spared for the eighth time in $11_{2}$ years. He had been scheduled to die in the San Quentin prison gas chamber at noon (Lawrence time) today.
Hostile Reaction Feared
Gov. Brown said in his statement issued early today that he received a telegram last night from a State Department official expressing fear of "anticipated hostile demonstrations" during President Eisenhower's sending South America tour.
A storm of protest mounted throughout Europe and Latin America as Chessman's execution date neared. Thousands of letters poured into the Governor's office pleading for mercy for Chessman.
In Washington, White House and State Department said the reprieve did not result from any recommendation on their part.
James C. Hagerty, White House press secretary, said it was "automatic" for the State Department to send a message reporting that the government of Uruguay feared hostile demonstrations during Eisenhower's visit there.
Notified of the reprieve by San Quentin Warden Fred Dickson, Chessman said:
Vox Populi, the campus' only political party, is choosing its candidates for the elections in April.
A petition of party candidates is due March 19. Primary elections will be March 29 and 30 and general elections will be April 5 and 6.
"You wouldn't kid me, would you warden?"
When Mr. Dickson assured him it was true, the 38-year-old condemned kidnap-sex terrorist said;
VOX Chooses Candidates
"Thank you. This is a great surprise. I really didn't expect it."
At a meeting last night representatives discussed the amendment to the All Student Council limiting campaign posters to two removable bulletin boards during student elections.
George Schluter, Prairie Village senior and Vox president, approved of the amendment and said it would avoid complete saturation of campaign materials on the campus.
The amendment also would eliminate the defacing of University property which has been a problem in previous student elections.
Vox representatives questioned the possibility of a third bulletin board in the area of Summerfield Hall and the Music and Dramatic Arts building.
