Grumm and Nehring Differ on Kennedy
The Kennedy administration hopes to march on to its New Frontier quickly, said John Grumm, assistant professor of political science.
He predicted the success of Kennedy's program at the Current Events Forum Friday.
Prof. Grumm and Earl Nehring, assistant professor of political science, discussed the coming administration and Kennedy's choices for cabinet posts.
KENNEDY WILL start with a four-point legislative program and should complete it within the next six months, Prof. Grumm predicted.
The first piece of legislation, federal loans to depressed areas, already has started through Congress. It should be ready for Kennedy's signature shortly after his inauguration, Prof. Grumm said.
"THIS BILL was veted by President Eisenhower. The veto probably harmed the Republican party since the bill affected 600,000 people," Prof. Grumm said.
The Federal aid to education bill has been bottled up in the Rules Committee, which has to pass on proposed legislation on the House calendar before it goes to the floor, Prof. Grumm explained. Prof. Grumm said he believes the prospects for the bill seem good because of the committee's reorganization.
Grumm also discussed an increase in the minimum wage bill which Kennedy supports and which, he said, President Eisenhower did not favor.
Kennedy also wants to revive the plan for medical aid to people receiving social security. He is disatisfied with the bill which was passed in the last Congress, Prof. Grumm said.
Prof. Nehring, in discussing the bills, said;
"I don't have the confidence that Prof. Grumm does in Congress passing the proposed legislation."
BOTH DID agree, however, that Kennedy's greatest achievements
Law Students Hear Civil Law Proposals
Emmet Blaes, attorney from Wichita, explained the proposed revision of the Kansas Code of Civil Procedure to law students in a convocation held Friday morning at the law school.
He explained that the last revision of the codes was made in 1009, and fifty years have passed bringing change in procedural rules.
Mr. Blae is a member of the State Advisory Committee, which will endeavor to develop a system of pleading in Kansas, largely paralleling federal rules.

Prof. Grumm said that later in his administration Kennedy will turn to the foreign policy area and will favor an expanded student exchange program with Africa and Latin America.
Prof. Nehring said he thinks Kennedy plans to run the administration with a firm hand. Kennedy will set the policies and the Cabinet will carry them out.
"THE GROUP OF MEN Kennedy has selected for the cabinet are solid and efficient but not spectacular," Prof. Nehring said.
"THE SELECTION of Kennedy's brother as attorney general will create further criticism. I am not convinced that Kennedy was looking for the best person in the United States to fill the position," Prof. Nehring said.
Prof. Nehring and Prof. Grumm agreed that Kennedy took a great deal of time selecting his Cabinet. Kennedy seems to weigh each of his decisions carefully, they said.

Water Pollution Problem Under Control in City
Suds Only Worry
By Karl Koch
Municipal water pollution — a $4.6 billion problem to the nation's local governments — is well taken care of in Lawrence.
KU is one of the city's largest consumers, using about 10 million gallons a month, or about 10 per cent of the city's total output.
ROBERT J. MOUNSEY, city water superintendent, said that the city uses four operations to guarantee its users clean water.
"First," he said, "We chlorinate the water to kill bacteria. Then we oxidize away the organic material.
"Next, we add lime, soda ash, and alum to clarify the water," Mr. Mounsey said. "Then comes more chlorination, and finally, thorough filtration."
Mr. Mounsey estimated that it costs Lawrence $183,000 a year for sewerage treatment.
THE BIGGEST LOCAL water pollution problems he said are raw sewage from towns upstream, and, oddly enough, detergents used in local homes.
The suds from the detergent pile up and prevent free water flowage through the control system.
Mr. Mounsey credited the people
of Kansas for the success of pollution control in the state.
"THE PEOPLE OF Kansas are becoming more aware of the varied uses of water for recreation and industry.
"The State Board of Health has done a great job on Kansas rivers treating sewage and industrial waste," Mr. Mounsey said. "Communities throughout the state are working on their own local water pollution problem."
These efforts, coupled with the present progressive federal aid program, should result in Kansans being worry-free while the nation as a whole engages in one of the more important battles of the coming decade — the fight for effective pollution control, Mr. Mounsey said.
Grier to Speak at Humanities Forum
Edward F. Grier, associate professor of English and chairman of the American Civilization program, will be the speaker at the Humanities Forum meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. His talk on "Reading Whitman Manuscripts" will be illustrated with slides.
