Integration Halted At U.of Georgia
ATHENES, Ga—(UPI)—Two Negro students today began the process of registering for the University of Georgia with a notable minimum of incidents but a federal judge ordered a postponement before they could finish.
Attorneys for the students—Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes—said they would appeal immediately and Judge Elipert Tuttle of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals set a hearing (at 1:30 p.m. Lawrence time) today in Atlanta.
THE STUDENTS had begun the federal court-ordered process of becoming the first Negro students in the university's 175-year history
Space Exploration Breeds Insecurity
LONDON — (UPI) — It just had to happen in the space age — people are developing a morbid dread of man's probing of the heavens.
What is believed the first medical report of a nervous condition in which the patient fears he is going to fall off the earth were placed on record by Dr. Raphael Kerry, a psychiatrist.
The new complaint has no official name as yet but Dr. Kerry is tentatively calling it "space-phobia."
He found variations of the condition in four intelligent men and women who came to him for advice after they had read about satellite and rocket launchings or watched television programs about space.
One of the "space-phobiacs" was a schoolmaster who said he found himself worrying that he might float off the earth and into orbit. "It's the space that's getting me," he said. "The curvature of the globe makes everything insecure. We are surrounded by a hostile envelopment."
when Federal Judge W. A. Bootle in Macon, Ga., postponed the integration order he issued last Friday.
Bootle's new order was to allow the state of Georgia time to appeal his previous order that the students be admitted immediately.
-Bootle's ruling came as the first student protest demonstration of the day was being put down by university officials.
As part of the registration process Miss Hunter, who plans to study journalism, was in the university's journalism building to confer about classes. A group of students began congregating outside and soon several students began a football-type yell: "Two, four, six, eight — we don't want to integrate. Eight, six, four, two — we don't want nijagaboos."
THE CHANT was just beginning to spread when Dean of Men William Tate shouldered his way through the crowd to the heart of the demonstration and ordered two of the students to stop. He asked for their identification cards. He took one of them and ordered the other man, who had no card, off the campus.
The chanting did not subside entirely, however, and chanting students followed Miss Hunter as she walked back to the registrar's office.
Dean Tate continued to move through the crowd, urging calm.
The two students met back at the registrar's office and were told of the Macon court decision. They said they would remain in Athens pending the results of the afternoon hearing in Atlanta.
A LEADING OFFICIAL of the university who declined to be identified said the university had decided to "move in complete good faith in accepting the federal court order and we are going more than the last mile to help them get enrolled."
Dr. Miller to Talk At Faculty Forum
The Faculty forum for tomorrow will feature Dr. Arden Miller, Dean of the University of Kansas Medical School, who will speak on "New Subsidies for Education in Health Sciences" at noon.
TOPEKA — (UPI) — Gov. George Docking today denied executive clemency for three condemned men and granted seven commutations, one of them apparently illegally.
Docking Denies Clemency to 3
Applications of Lowell Lee Andrews, Earl Wilson and Richard Eugene Hickock—all of whom have some form of action pending before the state supreme court—were denied.
Docking's pardons attorney, Dale A. Spiegel, had said he would recommend that the governor take no action. Docking's denial means the men will have to begin again in their clementy efforts, with the ultimate decision up to the incoming governor, John Anderson.
THE CLEMENCY action which may be contrary to the law, concerns Kenneth Tague, who was convicted in Sedgwick County District Court Jan. 8, 1960, for permitting gambling to be set up and used and with keeping an open saloon.
Anderson, in his last hours as attorney general, said the action "evidently is void" because the law states the governor cannot act until 30 days after the case has been referred to the state board of probation and parole, or until after the board has made a report on the case.
Tague's case was referred to the board Dec. 16 and the board did not act.
"There have not been 30 days since then, so the action is void," Anderson said.
'Brigadoon' Story Delights Children at Faculty Club
One of the children turned off the lights and the photographic record of the KU cast of "Brigadoon" flashed on the screen.
Larry Sneegas, Lawrence senior, and Marva Lou Powell, Topeka senior, told about the adventures and troubles of the group at the Faculty Club's children's night last night.
The pictures had been taken by Sneegas and Miss Powell during the tour of the "Brigadoon" cast last summer. During the three months of the trip the group went to Japan, Wake Island, Korea, Taiwan, Okinawa and the Philippines.
"We staved overnight in different Japanese homes while we were in Tokyo," Sneegas said. "The Japanese people are very polite and we were treated with the greatest respect every place we went in Japan."
One of the pictures was of a cog railway on a Japanese mountain side. "We went up the mountain on a bus," Miss Powell said. "It took us 25 minutes to get up. The train is only used for the downhill trip
Fleming May Get Oregon Presidency
Arthur Sherwood Fleming, secretary of health, education, and welfare, has been indicated as a possible selection for the presidency of the University of Oregon, according to the Portland Reporter recently.
George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, has also been considered for this office.
Mr. Fleming is a former president of Ohio Wesleyan University and currently serves in the Eisenhower cabinet.
Henry F. Cabell, president of the state board of higher education for Oregon, has emphasized that probably no final decision on a president for Oregon University will be announced until the board meets Jan. 24.
and it only took us four minutes to get back down."
Gigantic bronze Buddhas and temples with pointed roofs were shown to the audience as the trip through the Oriental nations was related.
The Japanese people are much more industrious than the Korean people, Sneegas said. Their homes are nicer and they are more polite to visitors.
"We were met and we welcomed by KU graduates everywhere." Miss Powell concluded. "They gave us the greatest hospitality in every stop that we made."
Summer Institute Noted in Magazine
The National Science Foundation Mathematics Institute held here in the summer of 1960 received notice in the November, 1960, issue of "Americas," a monthly magazine published by the Pan American in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
An article, "A Summer of Science," by Flora L. Phelps, a participant, reviewed the summer institute for high school and college teachers of mathematics.
Osvaldo Sangiorgi, mathematics teacher from Sao Paulo, Brazil, said the demonstration class in algebra was "a real laboratory for educational research." Thirty pupils from the Lawrence public schools were in the class.
"Institutes like this are an imperious necessity in the Latin American countries both to give greater educational unity in our two continents, and for the benefits they will bring to individual countries," Sangiorgi said.
