Students Nix Night Classes
Evening classes, which seem to be here to stay as long as the student enrollment keeps spurting higher, bring emphatic criticism from the student population.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
14 Classes Listed
Many instructors, on the other hand, appear to find the nocturnal sessions satisfactory.
Evening classes, mostly seminars and laboratories, are set up by the departments, according to the registrar's office. Approximately 14 night classes are held each week. These include classes in psychology, English, human relations and education and three biology laboratories.
Student criticism of the classes ranged from the idea that "they are bad for my health" to "they interfere with homework and social activities."
Melanie Chandler, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, commented:
"I don't like evening classes because they interfere with homework."
Ann Brownfield, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said:
"I just plain don't like night classes. They are bad for my health." Ronald Butler, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said;
Ronald Butler, Kansas City, Kan., junior, said:
"I think night classes are better than Saturday morning classes, but both are bad."
Dorothy Burton. Council Grove fresh
"It sure interferes with home work and social activities."
Faculty members, however, express entirely different views from those of the students.
Thurmal McMahon, associate instructor of civil engineering, said he thinks evening classes are necessary because of the large student body an inadequate facilities in certain departments.
Dennis Quinn, instructor in English, said:
"I find them satisfactory and successful. There is no reason why classes shouldn't be held in the evening. Students can study any time of day or at night."
Student Court Judges Grant One Appeal
The Student Court judges last night granted one of four appeals and waived further prosecution in another case.
Holland said:
Ralph Holland, Fredonia senior, was exonerated from two ticket charges for parking in a loading zone and in a restricted parking zone without permit.
"The parking lot for visitors was still in the process of being finished, so I parked where I could for a while."
Intruder Roams Women's Dorms
A young man with a penchant for pinching was reported in Corbin and Gertrude Sellards Pearson Halls by women residents last night.
Several women, according to a campus police report, saw a man on the second floor of Corbin Hall about 9:30 p.m. The girls asked him what he was doing and he replied he "guessed he was in the wrong place" and left.
A few moments later a man answering the same description was reported by different women in the basement of G.S.P. Hall.
The report said that he walked up to a girl wearing a slip and sweatshirt, pinched her on the leg, and said "That's a dandy."
The girl ran.
The intruder then entered one of the resident's rooms. An occupant screamed and he fled the building.
He was described as being 30-40 years old, 5 feet, 11 inches tall, 140-150 pounds, had dark hair, and was well dressed in a dark suit and white shirt.
Police officers searched the area but were unable to find the intruder.
Charles Miller, Lamesa, Calif. graduate student was denied an appeal.
Miller was appealing one ticket he had received for having no registration sticker on the back window of his car. He said:
"Clothes were all over the back seat of my car because I didn't have space to hang them up in my room. I couldn't get to the back window to put the sticker on without messing up all the clothes."
"I bought a registration sticker but haven't had a chance to put it on.
Miller said he climbed over his clothes to get to the back window of his car and now has a car registration sticker on the vehicle.
Miller's second appeal concerned a ticket he had received for parking in a "No Parking" zone in front of Joseph R. Pearson Hall. He said he didn't see the sign.
The Student Court judges waived further prosecution for Gail Boland, Attica, sophomore. He had received a ticket while parking in a visitors parking lot within the restricted parking zone adjacent to Oread Hall.

Ike Seeks Order In Latin America
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Eisenhower, in the wake of anti-American riots in Panama, today called on every civilized government in Latin-America to take steps to maintain law and order.
The President told his news conference that excitable extremists in Panama and other Latin-American countries were behind the anti-American mob actions.
President Eisenhower said he was puzzled over anti-American outbreaks such as those which have taken place in Cuba, Panama and elsewhere.
Ike Plans Trip To Nine Nations
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— President Eisenhower today announced plans for a historic personal trip to nine countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East next month.
The President said at his news conference he will leave Dec. 4 and visit Italy, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Iran, Greece, France and Morocco.
This was a far more extensive itinerary than originally indicated. The tour will take $ 2^{1 / 2} $ weeks.
President Eisenhower said he hoped by this trip he would build, particularly in Asia, a better understanding of the United States, and, at all points of his jet plane journey, good will for the United States.
His schedule, which will bring him back to Washington Dec. 22, will include three days in Paris, Dec. 19-21, for the western summit meeting. On his way home from Paris, he will visit Rabat. Morocco.
Car's Engine 'Purrs'
BUFFALO, N.Y. —(UPI)—Thomas R. Donovan's car was usually as quiet as a kitten, but not the morning he heard an "awful noise." Donovan drove cautiously to a service station where an attendant opened the hood and quickly spotted the cause of the noise. A neighbor's full-grown cat had become trapped inside.
WHAT ABOUT MALAYA?—Elmer F. Beth, right, professor of journalism, questions Albert Ravenholt, of the American Universities Field Staff, after Mr. Ravenholt met with journalism fraternities last night.
Critical Mass'Is Called Asian Need
An American Universities Field Staff representative said last night that Southeast Asia and its neighboring islands are hindered by the lack of a "critical mass" among the people.
Albert Ravenholt, former U.S. correspondent in China, spoke to Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, and Theta Sigma Phi, professional fraternity for women in journalism, in the Flint Hall reading room.
He said that through the critical masses the concentrated efforts of inquiring men working together is the only way by which corruption in ruling governments can be stopped.
Need a Critical Mass
"The need is for a critical mass that acts together in one country, at one time working for a common goal." he explained.
He said mass communication was too politically sensitive to develop a critical mass, and that it could be built only under education.
"The most critical need is the organization of a center that can produce a brain trust. I don't mean the kind formed around Franklin D,
Roosevelt, five or six men, but a center that will produce creative ideas from which will grow the discussion that forms public opinion."
Need Another Costa Rican Plan
As an example, he mentioned that a journalistic contract similar to KU's present Costa Rica student and faculty exchange would be one step toward building an idea center.
"This is our problem, and we must face it ourselves. As a free society we can not leave our problems for the government to solve. Once the government has taken hold of all our problems, it will take hold of us too."
Newspapers Are Corrupt
He pointed out that most newspapers in Southeast Asia are corrupt. Many of the reporters are so underpaid they must take sideline jobs as public relations men for politicians.
"The insidious tragedy is that this system is not openly obvious," Mr. havenholt said.
He pointed out that this system corrupts basic moral values. He said a few newspapermen do stand alone,

ASC Plans Bowl Trip
A committee was set up by the All Student Council last night to investigate the possibility of student mass transportation to the Orange Bowl football game.
The committee will also look into the cost and availability of tickets. Terry Davis, Frontenac senior and vice president of the student body, remarked:
"You may laugh when I bring this up, but it's no joke. Let's be realistic, there is a chance that we will be invited to the Orange Bowl."
Public Relations Committee
The Jayhawks are assured of the trip if the team wins its two remaining conference games, but if it ties for second place with another team or teams, the Orange Bowl committee has the privilege of choosing the school which will represent the Big Eight.

Miss Rundle's formal resignation was read and accepted at the meeting.
