KEEPING UP—Evelyn Sue Jones, Caracas, Venezuela junior, and her mother, Mrs. F. C. Jones, read a current newspaper and discuss the rioting taking place in Caracas where they live.
The recent Venezuelan riots that killed three and wounded hundreds are of no little concern to a KU student and her mother who is visiting Lawrence.
Mrs. F. C. Jones and daughter Evelyn Sue, a junior in education, have lived "off and on" in Caracas, Venezuela, since 1946 where Mr. Jones is the operational manager for Phillips Petroleum Co.
"I'm not surprised at anything that happens there," Mrs. Jones said, "but I can't say I expected these riots to happen. Although the papers say they are caused by students, I feel they are Communist inspired."
Rioting Against Betancourt
Mother and Daughter Discuss Caracas Riots
Rioting Against Betancourt The rioting against the government of President Romulo Betancourt, who was elected in 1958, has brought the National Guard and Army tanks into action.
Miss Jones said she thought the rioters are mostly university student with Communists fueling the flames.
Daily hansan
Miss Jones graduated from the Caracas high school. She spends her summers in Caracas where she has associated with many of the university students.
"The COMMUNIST Party is completely open there, and there are a lot of students in the leftist youth groups in the university," she said.
"At one party this summer, I was introduced to a girl who was dressed to the hilt and came from one of the better families of Caracas." Miss Jones said.
"I was later told she is the leader of the university Communist Party."
Associates With Students
"The strange thing, however, is that I don't think the students know what communism is. It's more like a fad or phase for them because those that join are usually from the very wealthy families."
When asked about anti-American feelings in Venezuela, Mrs. Jones replied that outside of a few minor demonstrations, they have never encountered any campaigns such as are reported in Cuba or other Latin American countries.
"When Vice President Nixon was in Caracas and the American flag was desecrated, we didn't go near the downtown area. But that was

NSA Resolution Passed On Freedom of Expression
The All Student Council passed an NSA resolution on freedom of expression and introduced a tutor-pupil matching service resolution at last night's meeting.
The NSA resolution counters the directive issued by Clark Kerr, president of the University of California, prohibiting the student government from representing opinions of the student body on the "off-campus political, religious, economic and international issues of the present day."
Thomas Kurt, Pratt first year medical student, introduced a resolution for the establishment of the tutor-numil matching service.
THIS RESOLUTION recognizes freedom of expression for students
only if they show prudence and self-discipline indicative of their having received higher education.
The council voted that the resolution be referred to the ASC Labor Committee for two weeks investigation. The committee will investigate the number of tutors available and the faculty's attitude toward the tutor service.
Thirteen members were installed at the meeting. New members represent eight of the 10 living districts. The Co-ops and professional fraternity districts and married students district did not have enough votes cast in the general election to elect a voting representative to the Council.

'Interposition' Nullified
Father Sneaks Child to School Enrages New Orleans Crowd
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS—A federal court today backed up its integration order with a sweeping ruling moments after a White minister slipped his daughter in the back door of an integrated school to avoid irate housewives.
The court struck down one of the last legal hopes of southern segregationists - the "theory of interposition" - and declared 17 state laws and five resolutions unconstitutional.
The Rev. Andrew Foreman outmaneuvered a crowd of about 100 persons trying to enforce a White boycott of William Frantz Elementary School. While police held the crowd at the front of the school, Foreman took his daughter, Pamela Lynn, in the back door.
The crowd was so enraged because it missed Foreman that about 30 of them, mostly women, trooped to his house, about a block and a half away and set up a chant in his lawn.
Police, enforcing tougher restrictions on the hecklers after a White woman was attacked by the housewives yesterday, made them move off the sidewalks. But one of the Rev. Foreman's neighbors invited them to use his lawn to jeer at the house.
Most of the women were members of the nucleus of the hecklers, called by police "the
cheerleaders." They set up a doggerel chant outside the house which went;
"Nigger lover, nigger lover, Nigger lover Jew;
We hate niggers, we hate you."
The Rev. Foreman is a Methodist minister. When there were no signs of life in the house, the crowd drifted back to the school.
Federal marshals brought one Negro girl attending Frantz to class and a silent group of about a dozen persons watched the three Negro girls attending McDonogh enter the building. Not one White student remains at McDonogh.
Pamela Lynn, who goes to kindergarten at Frantz, was the only White girl seen to enter the building.
The long-awaited ruling today by the three-judge court, which included District Judge J. Skelly Wright, the man who ordered integration, threw a monkey wrench into the Legislature's bitter attempts to stop integration.
It declared unconstitutional all the segregation laws passed by the Legislature in its first special session a month ago. The Legislature is still in special session.
The court also issued a temporary injunction with no termination date — barring virtually the entire state government, and every mayor, sheriff and police chief in the state from enforcing the segregation laws, or interfering with the operation of the New Orleans schools by the school board.
Weather

Lumumba Still Not Caught
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo — (UPI) — Congolese authorities said today that all reports so far claiming that deposed Premier Patrice Luumba and two aides had been captured have proved to be wrong
They said Lumuba still was at large, despite strenuous efforts by police and soldiers to arrest him.
Congolese Information Chief Pascal Kapella said the government was checking on the reports.
He told newsmen that authorities had no confirmation of rumors that the 35-year-old Lumuba, former information minister Anicet Kashamura and former Health Minister Joseph Kamanga were arrested in Kenje, near Kikwit, 120 miles east of Leopoldville.
French Reject Atom Plan
PARIS — (UPI)— The French senate today rejected President Charles de Gaulle's plan for an independent nuclear striking force for the second time in three weeks.
De Gaulle meanwhile, decided to visit Algeria despite warnings from his generals and ministers that such a trip would be dangerous. He was reported determined to force opposition to his Algeria policy out into the open.
Nichols Lauds Building Plan
"The proposed program would be a boon to KU. It means we'd get buildings two years ahead of time," said Ray Nichols, executive secretary of the University.
He was speaking of Governor-elect John Anderson's recommendation that money from the general fund be used to step up college building programs.
The state survey indicates that acceleration is essential if we are to be prepared for increasing numbers of students." Mr. Nichols said.
He said that the proposal would give KU over two million dollars from the 1961 legislature and one and one-half million from the 1962 legislature. This would mean over four million dollars to begin the acceleration program.
"What it boils down to is that we gain two million dollars more—roughly one building—which would put us ahead of schedule," said Nichols.
"We'd get the Engineering Building balance, the first allotment for the library, the first allotment for remodeling Blake Hall and also for Dyche Museum," he said. "Of course, this isn't the complete 10-year building program—there are dormitories to be built, the temporary classrooms back of Strong Hall to take care of and Fraser and Haworth Halls will soon need remodeling. But by the accelerated program, we could begin now and have a good start by 1965."
