No Date Set for Hearing On New Trial for Andrews
A date has not been set for a hearing on the motion for a new trial in the murder case of Lowell Lee Andrews, because the judge has been ill this week.
The 19-year-old Andrews, a former KU student, was convicted of killing his mother, father and sister. He was given the death sentence Dec. 22 by a Wyandotte County District Court jury.
The triple slaying occurred Nov. 28, 1958, at the Andrews home near Wolcott, a small community west of Kansas City, Kan.
Andrews' attorney asked for a new trial immediately after the death sentence was given. Judge Harry G. Miller Jr. will probably set the date for the hearing on the motion as soon as he returns to his office.
Andrews had pleaded innocent because of temporary insanity. He admitted killing his father, William L. Andrews, 50; his mother, Mrs. Opal Andrews, 40 and his sister, Jeannie Marie, 20.
Andrews said he used a .22-automatic rifle and a German Luger pistol to slay his parents and sister as they watched television the day after Thanksgiving, 1958.
Following the killings, Andrews drove to Lawrence where he picked up his typewriter at his rooming house, talked briefly with a friend living across the hall from his apartment, went to a movie and then threw the rifle and pistol into the Kansas River in Lawrence.
Then he drove to Kansas City and notified the police of the killing.
Eisenhower Plans Latin America Trip
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Plans were virtually completed today for President Eisenhower to make a flying good will tour of four South American countries from Feb. 21 to about March 4.
Diplomatic sources told United Press International that the White House last night delivered final details of the trip to the embassies of the four countries—Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
It appeared certain that all four governments would approve the suggested itinerary.
The President decided to limit his tour to the four countries so he could spend more time in each, the sources explained.
An official announcement was expected from the White House later this week. President Eisenhower also may refer to the trip in his State of the Union message to congress Thursday.
From Sau Paulo, President Eisenhower will go to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for another four day visit from Feb. 26 to 29.
They said President Eisenhower will be in Brazil from Feb. 22 to 25. In addition to Rio De Janeiro, he will visit Brasilia, the new capitol, and Sao Paulo, a busy port and industrial center.
Because the airport in Santiago cannot accommodate his giant jetliner, the President was expected to cross the Andes in a smaller plane for his visit to Chile and then use the same plane to fly to Montevideo, Uruguay, probably on March 2.
On March 4. President Eisenhower
will cross the river Plate from the Uruguayan capital back to Buenos Aires to board his jet for the journey home.
He was expected to fly from Buenos Aires to Balboa in the Panama Canal Zone for refueling and then continue to Washington.
Spectrum Out In Two Months
Weather
The editors of Spectrum, KU literary-academic magazine, today predicted their first issue would be on sale by the latter part of February or the first of March.
"We are getting 'poetry and fiction, but we need more non-fiction articles about academic life at KU," says Raymond H. Miller, Lawrence senior and member of the six-man editorial board.
"We are particularly looking for interpretative articles," Miller continued.
"So far we have some promisim prospects for articles from nationally know politicians and writers—Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota; Harry Golden, editor of the "Carolina Israelite and author of "Only in America," and Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York. We should have articles from them for our first issue." Miller said.
He said cartoons, "preferably with a touch of satire or social criticism," are also needed.
Partly cloudy North, considerable cloudiness South tonight. Clear to partly cloudy tomorrow. Occasional light snow southeast and southwest tonight. Colder east tonight. Warmer north tomorrow. Low tonight 10 to 15. High tomorrow 25 to 35.
BRRRRRR—Patricia Leroux, Wichita freshman, adjusts her long stockings against the onslaught of "Old Man Winter." Heavy coats, mufflers and gloves are the order of the day as temperatures continue to dip.
Bus Riders Gossip, Groan
By Thomas Hough
Skilled elbowers are the victors in the catch-as-catch-can serambling for seats in the two city buses that lumber along Jayhawk Boulevard every week day at noon.
Unless the men get on at the first stop, they seem to shy away from the crowds of women that clamber aboard the two white-and-yellow vehicles parked near Lindley Hall and the information booth across from Bailey Hall. There are generally two to five men securely huddled in the seats while laughing, talking college women shuffle their heavy loads of books from one arm to the other as they struggle to find a dime for bus fare.
Fresh from classes, the women squash together, chatting about this and that. This, generally pertains to boy friends. That, generally pertains to other women's boy friends.
Not one man offers a seat to a woman, but the women seem to be too busy visiting to notice:
"Did you hear about Nancy? She's going to quit school and get married."
"I thought she was going steady. When did they break up?"
"Have you seen her ring?" It's beautiful."
"You know Joe, dont you? We had the most wonderful time... "
Their lungs craving for the satisfying tug of smoke after an hour in class, the women who can find seats light cigarettes, inhale gustily and continue chatting. The men smoke too, but they sit quietly—sometimes staring out the window at the milling students on their way to eat lunch.
One of the men mentioned that he doesn't ride the bus every day — only when when he doesn't feel like walking.
"My roommate and I experimented one day. One of us walked, and the other rope. We got home at about the same time."
When the bus lurches forward, the women standing in the aisle jerky drift to the rear with grunts and groans as clipboards and elbows are jammed into tender backs. Their arms are so full of books they are unable to grasp the safety rails.
At the next step there is room for eight or 10 more people at the front. Six-and-a-half blocks from Landlev Hall, the iron monster shudders to a halt between Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall and Corbin-North Hall. The driver opens the front and rear pneumatic doors, and the women start tumbling out.
It seems that the women living in GSP are at the rear of the bus, and
the women in Corbin-North are at the front. Anyway, they collide like two armies of ants when their paths cross on the sidewalk beside the vehicle.
In a few seconds there are only eight persons inside. They quietly choose some of the many vacant seats. The silence is loud as the bus continues on its way.
Snow and Cold Hit Plains Area
By United Press International
A new winter storm dumped heavy snow on the southern plains today and a bitter cold wave spread deep into the Midwest.
The storm, touched off by a low pressure area over northern Mexico, unloaded $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches of snow on Pampa on the northwest Texas high plains and forecasters predicted a six-inch fall in the panhandle by tonight.
A heavy snow warning also was posted for Oklahoma. Accumulations of four inches or more were expected in the Sooner state.
The storm swept into Pampa about 2 a.m. and residents were wallowing through $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches of snow by 9:30 a.m. CST.
Quiz Kids Shop, See Subways and Show
KU's first bowl team in years has returned to the campus victorious.
The team members listed their victory over the University of Chicago as the highlight of their trip. Next to this they enjoyed seeing the city. Then came eating at New York City restaurants.
Not only did it bring back a $1,500 scholarship, but it also brought back some fine memories.
The team left Kansas City at 7:20 a.m. Friday and was in New York by 12:30.
The team members spent two hours at the Metropolitan Art Museum and then settled in their hotel rooms.
Friday night they viewed the Broadway musical, "Gypsy," at the expense of General Electric. Gypsy, the life story of Gypsy Rose Lee,
Members Saw "Gypsy"
On Saturday the team split up a little. Members set out on their own to explore the big city.
was viewed from front row seats. The KU students agreed that the musical was quite good. After the show they saw Times Square.
"I didn't get up till noon. By that time the women (Elinor Hadley, Kansas City, Mo., senior and Cheryl Payer, El Dorado freshman) had gone shopping and Fred (Fred Morrison, Colby senior) had gone to the U.N. I decided to explore the subways.
Alan D. Latta, Wichita sophomore,
said:
"I rode as far as I could, which was the Bronx. I got off there to turn around and got lost. I couldn't find the line back. It was dark before I returned."
Miss Paver said:
"Elinor and I went shopping. She didn't get anything but I bought a raincoat and opened a charge account."
Miss Hadlev said:
Miss Tradee said,
"We rode the Staten Island Ferry.
There is not much to do on Staten
Island except ride the ferry over and
turn around and come back. But I
liked every minute of it.
Latta said the ferry ride is five cents for both ways from Manhattan Island to Staten Island and back which is probably the best transportation buy in the country.
Morrison said:
Morrison Tours U.N.
"I took the regular United Nations information tour, which is of little value if you know anything about the U.N. But the art and architecture are interesting.
Miss Paver said;
"Once we got separated from Professor Seaver (James E. Seaver, associate professor of history and head team coach). He got on the right subway car, but we didn't. We stood there waving at him as the car pulled away. We had to find our way back ourselves."
"Then I met Assistant Governor Robert Law. We talked city and state politics.
In the dress rehearsal, the University of Chicago team ran over the Jayhawks 240 to 120.
On Sunday the team had to go to the CBS studios at 11 a.m. It spent the rest of the morning filling out question sheets. After lunch, it returned for more questions and a dress rehearsal.
"We were beaten so badly there didn't seem to be much hope of
Morrison said:
winning. But after so many rehearsals we weren't nervous when faced by the real contest."
Jayhawk Expected Loss
Morrison said
"I went on stage with the feeling that we were going to lose, but I said, 'Let's make it as close as possible. And I think Chicago went on with the feeling that they were going to win.'"
Miss Hadley said:
"We had lost all day because the Chicago team would guess at the buzzer, and it was guessing right. On the show it guessed wrong."
After the victory, the team went out to eat. It took from 8 until 10.
Saturday the Jayhawks leave for New York to meet Smith College, a New England girls' school. They will fly back right after the show so as not to miss Monday classes.
