K. Attempts to Restore Communist Face in UN
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—(UPI)
—Nikita S. Khrushchev goes before the U.N. General Assembly today to try to restore lost Communist luster with the speech on disarmament — "the question of questions"—he came here three weeks ago to deliver.
The speech will be the Soviet premier's farewell address before flying home Thursday. Soviet sources said he would make the most of it, ranging over all phases of his "total and complete" disarmament proposals, probably discussing also the U.N. sessions thus far with their setbacks to the Communist cause.

Church Leader Endorses Nixon
SALT LAKE CITY —(UPI)— The surprise endorsement of Vice President Richard M. Nixon by David O. McKay, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was almost without precedent in the history of that faith.
For the head of the church, which has more than 1.5 million members, personally to give his backing to a political figure as McKay did here yesterday was a move unduplicated in memory of longtime newsmen in the area.
The latest came last night when the Russians lost in efforts to shelve the bloodsoaked issues of Hungary and Tibet.
Disarmament is the issue Khrushchev had urged all world leaders to attend the assembly to discuss. Sources said he would "wrap up the whole ball of wax," using a "moderate" tone.
- Propose the addition of five neutrals to the 10-nation East-West disarmament committee which broke up in deadlock last June at Geneva.
- Review the history of deadlocked East-West negotiations on disarmament.
- They said he was expected to:
- **Put forward formally his call for a special U.N. assembly session on disarmament to meet next spring in Geneva, Moscow or Leningrad.**

95% of Students Unaware of NSA
Generally fair east partly cloudy with widely scattered thundershowers west portion this afternoon. Fair to partly cloudy tonight and tomorrow.

Approximately 95 per cent of the students are not aware of the National Students Association, says Carol McMillan, Coldwater junior and NSA coordinator.
"It is important to the University that the student body becomes aware of this organization and discovers how helpful it can be on the campus." Miss McMillan says.
Miss McMillan believes that NSA should be surveyed carefully but KU should remain a member, NSA representatives on the campus feel that if the NSA committee could organize a plan to present at the convention next August it would be beneficial to the student body.
NSA is an association of students representing student councils all
"Mark Twain and the Industrial Revolution" is the topic of the next Humanities Series lecture to be given next Tuesday, by Henry Nash Smith, professor of English at the University of California. It will begin at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater and will be followed by a reception at the Faculty Club.
Mark Twain Is Humanities Topic
A distinguished scholar in both history and American literature, Mr. Smith is on leave this year to do research at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He has charge of the Mark Twain papers at the University of California.
He will spend three days on the KU campus after a week of lecturing at Amherst, Yale, and Oberlin. During his visit here, he will lecture to classes in sociology, journalism, and American literature, and will lead a discussion with graduate students and faculty members in history and Western Civilization.
At 4 p.m. Tuesday he will speak on "American Popular Fiction" in the Forum Room at a coffee arranged by Student Union Activities.
His book, "Virgin Land: The American West as Symbol and Myth," won both the John H. Dunning Prize awarded by the American Historical Association and the Bancroft Award in American History bestowed by Columbia University. In 1950, he also edited James Fenimore Cooper's "The Prairie."
over the United States. NSA on the campus is a sub-committee of the All Student Council. Any action taken must be approved by the ASC, Miss McMillan said.
NSA has a student travel bureau on the campus. Groups of students may travel almost anywhere in the world under the sponsorship of NSA.
A foreign student from Argentina, Eduardo Eichberg, is now on the campus studying student organizations under the auspices and finances of NSA.
NISA Crutisem NSA is not new, Last year disaffiliation with NSA was discussed by the All-Student Council.
The main points voiced by Frank Naylor, Kansas City senior, and last year's College representative to the ASC were:
NSA Criticism Not New
1. KU does not take an active part in Association legislation. KU's opinions are not presented.
2. Helpful aids and publications are offered by the Association to student councils, but KU does not take advantage of either situation.
3. The ASC has not been pleased
with their foreign student program. 4. Students do not use the NSA campus travel bureau.
Naylor agreed with Tonya Kurt, last year's NSA coordinator, that when students pay 395 to 400 dollars a year for this organization they are entitled to know what it is all about. He also said that no matter how much the relative cost students should not have to pay for something that does not offer benefits.
Ronald Dalby, Joplin. Mo., senior and student body president has voiced similar opinions regarding the NSA this year.
They are Calder M. Pickett, acting dean, and Clarke Keys, instructor. Schools visited this week will be Independence High School Wednesday and Wichita West High School Thursday. Schools next week will be Kinsley High School and Hays High School.
Two members of the faculty of the School of Journalism left today to participate in journalism-yearbook conferences sponsored by the Kansas State High School Activities Assn.

Teaching Not Enough; Pozdro Composes Too
A full-time career as associate professor of music theory and a spare-time hobby of composing music manages to account for most of John W. Pozdro's time.
Prof. Pozdro has just completed his third symphony which will be premiered on Dec. 13 by the Oklahoma City Symphony under the direction of Guy Frazer Harrison.
Prof. Pozdro received a commission from the Oklahoma City Symphony through the American Music Center's Ford Foundation grant to compose the symphony. It will be dedicated to the conductor.
The second symphony by Prof. Pozdro will be performed by the University of Texas Symphony Orchestra Sunday. He wrote the symphony while he was in the Eastman School of Music. The composition took six months to complete. It was presented on the campus at the first annual symposium under the

A composition for woodwinds and pianos is being completed by Prof. Pozdro for Austin Ledwith, assistant professor of organ theory and wind instruments. It will be presented at the Kansas Music Teachers Assn. meeting in November.
