Co-op Members Share Projects
Sixty-three KU men combine cooperation, understanding and work in efficient group living in 4 independent houses—Don Henry Co-op, Rochdale Co-op, Hill Co-op and Hilden Gibson Co-op.
Each house is run entirely by its own members, with the senior members acting as guides for the new men. From a group of interested prospective members, those in the houses from the previous year choose men they believe will fit in well with this co-operative type living.
Cooking, house repairs and maintenance and recreational activities are among the list of daily activities that the residents manage themselves. Thus co-op houses cut down living expenses without reducing favorable living facilities and experiences. At the same time they offer a unique opportunity to each resident to contribute his best in the efficient upkeep of the house.
Successful co-operative living demands and gets every resident to willingly share in the responsibilities and manual work. It helps develop self-confidence and an ability to make basic adjustments to people and conditions. Only through determination and complete co-operativeness can this type of independent living exist.
Like every year workweek in KU's co-operative houses began the day before enrollment. With less than one week's time and lots of ungrudging co-operation, we'll were painted, furniture was repaired, floors were re-varnished and yards were cleaned up. Organized meals started with the first day's labor, and a house meeting was held to plan projects and activities for the school year.
Any male student wishing to enrich his experiences by taking part in the daily activities and work in co-operative living may get accepted in one of these houses.
Features of this type of group living have attracted students from various parts of the nation and from several different parts of the world. It is inspiring to see graduate and undergraduate students from Europe, Asia, Africa and America combine their best efforts in successful co-operative living.

Nikita Says Tour Has Cut Tension
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said today he thinks his tour of the United States lessened international tension "to a certain extent."
Khrushchev added, "We will know more about it after my discussions with the President."
Asked to state what he regarded as the one outstanding issue standing in the way of world peace, Khrushchev smiled and said:
"It will be better to discuss that question with the President than with you."
Wonderful Trip
Khrushechev described his trip as "Wonderful." Then he added, in English. "Very well."
Looking considerably refreshed after his night's rest at Blair House, Khrushchev went to the Soviet Embassy shortly before noon in the company of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko.
SEATO Council Meets Monday
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— The United States and other members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) will hold a special meeting here Monday on the Asian situation, with the Laos crisis on top of the agenda.
The State Department announced that the Foreign Ministers Council of SEATO has been called into session and that foreign ministers of five of the eighth members will attend. Britain, the Philippines, and New Zealand will be represented by their chief diplomatic envoy here.
The state department refused to say what subjects were slated for discussion. But it did not rule out that one of the chief topics would be Communist rebel attacks on the tiny kingdom of Laos.
One diplomatic source said that SEATO council probably would discuss whether and what kind of help it would give Laos if the Red attacks threaten its independence and the United Nations refused to act.
Laos is not a member of SEATO but is covered by the pact's security "umbrella" over non-Communist nations of Southeast Asia.

Open Evenings By Appointment
Khrushchev told an impromptu news conference outside the Soviet Embassy that he hopes the President will make an extensive trip through the Soviet Union, a trip longer than he took in the United States, "Since our country is bigger."
"What do you think that President Eisenhower should see in the Soviet Union?" a reporter asked. "That is the choice of your Mr. President," Khrushchev replied.
Separate Conferences
Both Khrushchev and President Eisenhower held separate strategy conferences with their top advisers during the morning to prepare for their talks.
The two-top-level huddles took place about 200 yards apart. The President met with his aides in the White House while Khrushchev talked with his in Blair House, just across Pennsylvania Avenue.
