Ike Angered At Criticism of Defense Policy
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — A fighting mad President Eisenhower lashed at his defense policy critics today and announced he would make a personal report to the people Sunday night.
His eyes glaring icily and his lips pursed in anger, he declared that if anyone believed he had deliberately misled the country, he would like to tell that person off face-to-face. President Eisenhower said he regarded the charge as despicable.
His remarks were made at a news conference when a questioner said that critics contend that the Eisenbower administration is too complacent and is putting economy above security. He then was asked if he thought he had misled the American people.
President Eisenhower told his news conference he expects to make a nationwide radio-TV speech Sunday night concerning his trip, beginning Monday, to four major South American countries.
The President said his talk will begin at 5:15 p.m. (Lawrence time). It will be a general discussion of his tour plans but also will touch upon matters of U.S. defense.
Asked specifically whether he planned to carry to the people his side of the current defense controversy, President Eisenhower said that he would suppose that during his Sunday evening talk he would include items such as the security and strength of the United States.
The President hinted, in remarks about Cuba, that U.S. patience eventually may run out with Fidel Castro's revolutionary regime. Commenting on new Soviet trade and aid arrangements with Cuba, the President recalled that the Castro regime recently has repudiated or disturbed a number of the traditional economic arrangements under which the United States tries to help Cuban economy and people.
3 Vacancies in Discipline Group
Three new members will be chosen to serve on the Student Disciplinary Committee.
Petitions can be obtained at the KU-Y and All Student Council offices in the Kansas Union. They are to be turned in by Saturday.
Members of the committee who will chose the disciplinary committee members are Edward McMullan, Long Beach, N.Y., junior; Alice Gould, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Stan Lehman, Abilene, senior, and Dean George Waggoner of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The disciplinary committee acts as an appeal committee for students and handles cases for student discipline. The committee consists of six students sitting with the dean of women or her assistant, the dean of men or his assistant and the academic dean of the accused student.
The jurisdiction of the disciplinary committee as stated in the ASC Constitution is:
"The Disciplinary Committee shall have jurisdiction over all cases, controversies or disputes arising in violation of the constitution or bills of the All Student Council or of other University rules and regulations not delegated to the Student Court."
The new members to be chosen will serve on the committee beginning this semester and continuing through the fall semester.

Unwelcome Visitor Invades GSP Hall
Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall had its second unwelcome visitor of the year last night.
A man of about 40 years of age, around 5'9" to 5'10" in height, with dark hair, dark complexion, gold on his front teeth, a rather prominent nose, neat appearance and wearing a brown suit, white shirt, dark tie and glasses, was found wandering on one of the freshman floors at 9:45 p.m.
When discovered. he said that he was looking for someone and that he was lost.
Two women, who encountered him at different times, gave him directions on how to get out of the dormitory. One led him to the living room and pointed the way out from there
Had Been in Living Room
Miss Chilcoat explained that he seemed to be with a group of parents and for this reason she did not request his leaving the living room. No man is allowed in the living room after 8 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday in G.S.P.
He had been seen earlier in the living room by Judy Chilecoat, Bartlesville, Okla., junior and counselor-on-duty.
"I first noticed him in the living room about a half an hour to forty-five minutes before the incident was brought to my attention."
Miss Chilcoat said:
The intruder, after having been shown how to leave the dormitory, was still standing in the lobby when one of the freshman women informed Miss Chilcoat of the incident.
"I understand that you have been on one of the freshman floors. Gentlemen are not allowed on the floors."
Speaker in Oakland Miss Huntington approached the man and said:
She immediately went to Betty Huntington, resident director, and explained the situation.
Director Spoke to Man
She described him as being very vague in his responses. He claimed that he was looking for someone and give her the name of a person that does not live there.
Miss Huntington held him in conversation for some time. She then suggested that he try Corbin Hall in
hopes that his visit there would present the opportunity for his apprehension.
The intruder did not go to Corbin Hall.
Second Episode
Earlier this fall, a man was seen on floors in both of the women's residences. The question presented in the women's minds is whether there is any connection between the two episodes.
Joe G. Skillman, chief of the campus police, said that they were going to check out any possible connection between the two incidents.
ASC Continues Stop Day Drive
The All Student Council decided at a meeting yesterday to continue their campaign for a "Stop Day" before spring final examinations.

Austin Suggests Six ASC Goals
Student Body President Jim Austin, Topeka senior, last night suggested a six-point plan for second semester action by the All Student Council.
1. The organization of a free I.D card exchange.
His six-point plan is:
2. A strengthening of the curriculum and school curriculum committees.
3. Improving the quality of orientation and undergraduate counseling.
4. Revising areas of the ASC
4. Revising areas of the ASC Constitution that need clarification
5. The promotion of the Internation Travel Program here.
6. Strengthening of relations with other Big Eight schools.
Austin also discussed the problem of apathy among ASC members. He cited several cases of apathy and said:
"The most common reasons for apathy are:
1. Our problems do not seem important or do not seem as important as other problems which we would prefer to work on.
2. We, as ASC members, may not be able to solve the problem that comes up.
3. Several members of the group may carry on a majority of the discussion and thereby create apathy in other members.
4. Many members feel that all business introduced by one party or another is strictly a political issue and thereby gives the idea a status of less than an important issue."
Woman Scholar to Give Humanities Lecture
For the second time in 13 years a humanities Series lecture will be given by a woman scholar.
Dr. Germaine Bree, head of the all-university department of Romance languages and Russian at New York University, will speak on "Contemporary History and the French Novel" at 8 p.m. Tuesday
The lecture will be in Fraser Theater and will be followed by an informal reception given by the Faculty Club.
Dr. Helen C. White, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, who spoke here in April, 1951, was the first woman presented in the Humanities Lecture Series since it was started in 1947.
Authority on Camus
Germaine Bree
Dr. Bree is an authority on the life and works of Albert Camus, French journalist, author, and playwright who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957 and was killed in an automobile accident last month. Her "Albert Camus, Biography and Critical Study," was published last year.
During her visit to the Kansas campus, she will speak to a humanities class about the new French novel, to a philosophy class about existentialist ethics, and will speak in French to three French classes. She will have luncheon with the Romance languages faculty members on Monday, and that evening will be guest at a dinner sponsored by Pi Delta Phi, national French honor society.

Native of France
representatives of the Associated Women Students and Living Districts discuss the problem with their groups.
The representatives are to gather faculty and student reactions and suggestions on the "Stop Day" proposal. The reports are to be submitted to the ASC "Stop Day" committee.
Sarah A. Shaffer, Russell senior, and Edward McMullan, Long Beach, N. Y., junior, are chairmen of the committee. Other members are Barry Gray, Lyons junior, and Mary S. Childers, Merriam junior.
Miss Shaffer gave a report on the "Stop Day" proposal. The proposal is to give students one day off between the last day of classes and the first day of finals. The idea was taken to James K. Hitt, Registrar and chairman of the Calendar Committee.
Hitt recommended that the proposal be taken to the Calendar Committee. According to Miss Shaffer the Calendar Committee gave no definite answer to the proposal.
Plan too Sketchy
Hitt said he felt that a real proposal for "Stop Day" has not been made.
"We have gotten no place." Miss Shaffer said. "We understand that we presented too sketchy a plan to the committee."
"Finals are definitely scheduled to begin on a certain day but there is no specific day when classes will end. All we can ask for is for one day's grace before the beginning of final week," said Miss Shaffer.
Last semester classes ended on a Saturday morning. Final examinations began the following Monday. During this semester, however, classes will end on a Thursday. Final examinations will begin on the next day.
"Stop Day" would allow the students some time of their own before the critical final week. The administration thinks the idea is fine but they feel that students will not use the extra day for studying," she concluded.
It is the responsibility of the Calendar Committee to determine whether the proposal will go into effect.
The Calendar Committee sets up the calendar for the entire year and arranges the schedule of final examinations.
New Amendment
Ronald K. Dalby, Joplin, mo., junior, presented an amendment to the ASC constitution concerning placement of posters during Student elections.
If the bill is approved it will limit the placement of campaign posters to two removable bulletin boards, each eight by five feet in size, on the campus proper. The amount of space for any one party or candidate on the boards would be limited.
The bill was forwarded to the Committee on Committees and will probably be voted on by the ASC at the next meeting.
The resignation of Martha Crosier from the ASC was read and Rav Miller, Lawrence senior, was sworn in as her replacement. Miss Crosier was the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information representative to the ASC. She graduated this past semester.
Paul Medlock, Atchison sophomore, was sworn in as a replacement for Kroff Maag, former married student representative, Maag has also graduated.
Weather
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicted today that much of western and northern Kansas will get occasional snow tonight and Thursday.
