Hard Work, Family Influence Keys to Phi Beta Kappa at 18
A Phi Beta Kappa af 18. It's unusual, but not impossible. Cora Lee Price, Lawrence senior, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa this fall.
Cora Lee Price
Miss Price is the daughter of G. Baley Price, chairman of the KU mathematics department. She is in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Third Year at KU
This is her third year at KU. She also attended summer school here in 1958 and at Middlebury College, Vt., last summer.
Miss Price says she is not rushing her education.
"It isn't a matter of just wanting to get out of school. I prefer to go to school rather than work or do something else."
High School Graduate at 16
Miss Price graduated from Lawrence High School in August, 1957, after attending a summer session in place of her senior year. She did not receive her high school diploma until May, 1958. By that time she was almost a college sophomore.
She attributes her scholastic success to hard work and the scholastic atmosphere of her home which has helped her form good study habits.
But she can make grades even when she isn't at home as she is proving this year. She is living in
O'Leary Hall this year while her father is teaching at California Institute of Technology.
Future Plans Indefinite
would like to do some more studying. She has applied for scholarships to schools in the United States and in Germany. She will continue her study of German if she attends a graduate school in the United States, and study other subjects, if she receives a foreign scholarship.
Future Plans Incomplete Miss Price's plans for the future are indefinite but she believes that eventually she would like to teach

Col. Carlos Silva said yesterday the force moved in from Cuba "with the apparent tolerance of the Honduran government."
MANAGUA. Nicaragua—(UPI)—The chief of Nicaragua's army staff says 200 well-armed "Cubans and other revolutionaries" who plan to invade Guatemala have arrived by air in Honduras and 300 more are on the way by ship.
Revolutionaries Get Refuge Charges Nicaraguan Chief
(Honduran President Ramon Villeda Morales denied the charge, saying his government maintains "rigid controls" to prevent invasion from its soil by any neighboring nation.
(At the same time, well-informed sources in Tegucigalpa reported that
the government has ordered three Nicaraguan refugees to get out of the country within 72 hours, presumably because they have been plotting against the Nicaraguan government.
Silva's charge closely paralleled the accusation that Guatamela leveled at Cuba in Washington last week.
Harry Hits at Demo Liberals
Guatemalan Ambassador Guilermo Saenz de Tejada told the Organization of American States that a force intended to invade his country was being trained in central Cuba under the supervision of Premier Fidel Castro's brother Raul and Argentine-born Dr. Ernesto Guevara.
NEW YORK —(UPI)— Former President Harry S. Truman denounced "Johnny-come-lately liberals" in the Democratic Party last night and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt promptly disagreed with him.
There's nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.—Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
Mrs. Roosevelt said she welcomes every kind of liberal and suggested that "those of us who are a little bit older" may have something to learn from them.
University President Victor L. Butterfield said, "We are pleased that our students, acting on their own initiative, have taken steps to end formal discrimination."
Both 75-year olds spoke at a $100-a-plate Democratic Advisory council dinner billed as a delayed birthday party for Mrs. Roosevelt.
The evening's biggest message for the Democratic party appeared to be: don't count out Adlai Stevenson.
A good deal of his attack was directed at a New York newspaper which he said had recently "tried to pin a reactionary label" on him. He did not name the newspaper.
Seven top contenders for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination were the starred guests at the dinner, attended by 1,500 party leaders. Truman said none of them was the kind of liberal he was frowning on. He declined to say who was.
The others were Delta Upsilon. Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Chi and Alpha Chi Rho.
Cuba denied the charge.
Stevenson, two-time loser in the presidential race, received by far the warmest reception of the evening as Truman introduced seven leading contenders and predicted one of them would be the nation's next president.
The fraternity became the fifth such organization to drop its national affiliation since 1951, the third since last September.
The Sigma Nu chapter, which has been on the campus since 1920, announced it was dropping its national affiliation because of the organization's "white only" membership requirements.
Fraternities Protest 'White Only' Clauses
MIDDLETOWN, Conn., — (UPI)
—The last of Wesleyan University's five nationally-affiliated fraternities has withdrawn from its organization in protest against discriminatory clauses.
