WHAT WAS THAT?—Frank Naylor, Kansas City, Kansas, senior, considers a point raised at yesterday's meeting of the senior class officers. Naylor, president of the class, is wearing the Class of '61 button.
Seniors to Save $7.50 With New Fee Plan
The Class of 1961 will save $7.50 through a new method of fee payment initiated by its officers.
The new method is a consolidation of all the previously separate senior costs under one ticket. The ticket is in the form of a fee card which will be passed out during regular University fee payment.
THE SENIOR FEE card will cost $10. The $10 will cover the costs of all senior events. Priced separately these events would total $17.50.
The events and the cost of these events if priced separately are: pennant, $1; button, $1; calendar, $1; senior day, $1; picnic, $2; breakfast, $2; three senior functions, $3; two coffees, $1.50; and gift and dues, $5.
FRANK NAYLOR, Kansas City Kan., president of the senior class said:
"If their are any losses, the losses could be made up through the senior class' profits from the sale of announcements and rings. Any other losses could be taken from the gift allowance which has been budgeted for $2,500."
Naylor also said the seniors who graduate in January would not lose their investment. He said:
Thefts Reported To Campus Police
"The value of the card for this semester and for commencement will be calculated and an appropriate
Campus police reported today two cases of larceny involving the theft of some hub caps from the Olin Templel Hall parking lot, and the theft of one pocket transistor radio from Grace Pearson Hall.
The hub caps were removed this morning around 1:10 a.m. The car was seen but no positive identification could be made.
The pocket transistor was stolen last Tuesday at about 3:45 p.m. Any information concerning these two cases should be turned over to the campus police.
Bulletin
WASHINGTON — (UPI) President Eisenhower will confer Monday in New York with President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
amount will be refunded to those seniors who graduate in January.
"However, they will have already saved $7.50."
Naylor explained the reason for the formulation of this new method of senior fees was due to a need for accuracy and efficiency. He said:
"IN THE PAST senior classes have had to sell candy and do other extra selling projects at the end to make up their deficits."
The senior fee card includes the cap and gown receipt which entitles seniors to their caps and gowns for commencement.
Naylor reiterated the senior fee card plan at the senior class officers meeting yesterday. At this meeting he said:
"In the end result, the fee care will not only save class members' money, but also it will promote a more cohesive class, and that is what you want in alumni."
Nikita Wants Dag Fired Suggests UN Leave US
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(UPI)
—Premier Nikita Khrushchev demanded today in an angry, arms-waving speech that U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold be fired and the United Nations be moved out of the United States.
The Soviet Premier condemned American U-2 spy flights as risking a Third World War; offered a rehash of his immediate and total disarmament plans, and demanded that colonialism end and all the persons of the world be freed.
Khrushchev demanded that Hammarskjold's post be abolished and that it be replaced by a Soviet-type presidium of three persons. This would give Russia a veto in the executive branch of the U.N. as well as in the Security Council.
Nikita Angry
Khrushhev was obviously angry at the Soviet defeat in the Congo and the action of the General Assembly which met in emergency session earlier this week and gave Hammarskjold a 70-0 vote of confidence in a move that indirectly rebuked Russian military intervention in the Congo.
Khrushchev's mood changed throughout his speech which was so long and rambling that many spectators left the galleries. It was the most energetic address ever seen in the General Assembly and the most unusual.
Gets Indignant
His voice grew loud and indignant when he demanded the United Nations discuss the U-2 incident. Once he departed from his text to extoll the merits of Communism. He waved his fists wildly and the East European and Cuban delegations thundered their applause.
Khrushchev denounced the U.N. policies in the Congo. He followed President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana in demanding the United NationsUMumba, the pro-Soviet premier who was deposed by a Congolese army strongman.
Khrushchev renewed Russia's appeal for the destruction of all means of delivering nuclear weapons—planes, rockets and submarines—and
outlined a peace program that would ban all foreign bases within 18 months.
Herter Silent
Secretary of State Christian A. Herter sat as silent today as the Russians did yesterday when President Eisenhower was speaking. Cuba's Fidel Castro s胶到了 his earphones. The Russian satellite leaders listened attentively.
Much of his speech was devoted to attacks on colonialism in an obvious effort to woo the new African nations and to offset the effects of the Eisenhower speech yesterday outlining a massive economic aid program under U.N. supervision.
Western officials immediately described the Russian's speech as a major propaganda effort to stem the tide running against the Red bloc in the world organization.
Rails at Dao
Khrushhev railed at Hammastaskiold and he criticized the New York Police Department for the strict security regulations which have kept him "jailed" in his Park Avenue headquarters. He also complained of state department rules restricting him to Manhattan Island and the Russian estate on Long Island.
He added, "facts are known, for instance, of the representatives of young African and Asian states being subjected to racial discrimination in the United States and, moreover, to attacks by gangsters."
He noted the American explanation was "security" but said, "I wish to emphasize that we are of a better opinion of the hospitality of the American people than the one that may result from such statements and restrictions . . .
"I can declare in all responsibility that if it should be considered expedient to house the U.N. headquarters in the Soviet Union, we guarantee the best possible conditions for its work, complete freedom and security for the representatives of all states irrespective of their political or religious convictions and of the color of their skin."
Guarantees Freedom

Lind Writes Essays, Fiction, Poetry
To walk into his neat office, one would expect the small, balding man behind the desk to speak with the dry, sonorous tones of the volumes that line the walls.
Immediately, however, the flashing eyes that peer over the glasses give away the sparkling wit of the man whose first love has been the study of the classical languages for over 35 years.
DR. L. R. LIND, professor and chairman of the Latin and Greek department, is a man of a variety of interests. His life revolves around his work, teaching and research, but this doesn't limit him to the books of Dante, Pliny, Homer, etc.
He has recently received a grant to work with one of his hobbies; the study and translation of works of Renaissance anatomists in Bologna, Italy. It will allow him three years of study investigating unpublished documents on the lives and works of 16th century Bolognese anatomists in order to write a series of biographical and historical essays.
"A general treatment of these men has never been undertaken." Prof. Lind said. "I'll have access to unpublished manuscripts and material in the archives of Bologna which only a few have touched before."
could turn into a major contribution to medical history, for the men concerned played a big part in science. Among them were the first plastic surgeon, a specialist in geriatrics and a brilliant pediatrician whose biographies, heretofore, were vague
THUS, A LITTLE KNOWN work
"This is an avocation along with several others, namely compiling
L. R. Lind-
anthologies of classical verse and translation of Greek and Latin literature," Dr. Lind said. "But this hobby had a rather inauspicious start.
"WHEN I FIRST came to KU in 1940, the head of the Anatomy department, who's since gone, asked me to translate versalius' Epitome He said he'd help with the technical notes. When he came over to help me we'd start talking and drinking beer and I ended up doing it. That was my start on anatomical translations."
The grant is for three years. Prof.
Lind plans to leave KU in Sept. 1961
with his family — daughter Rosa is
a senior in Journalism — and return
for further study at the Harvard
libraries in June, 1962.
AS A MEAURSE of Prof. Lind's contribution to classical studies, he has published eight books and more than 50 articles on classical Latin and Greek, medieval Latin and modern literature.
This, the Prof. considers part of his work as an educator, but he takes special pride in his outside writing.
"I write some poetry, a little of which has been published," he said, "and some fiction." He parenthetically added, "unpublished."
Khrushchev said, "It would seem that the United States of America, which calls itself a free democratic country, should do its utmost to facilitate the work of the United Nations." Instead, he said, there are "inconveniences" which U.N. members now are experiencing.
Of all his proposals the one which astounded diplomats was his proposal to abolish Hammarskjold's job and set up a three-man presidium. This would involve rewriting the U.N. charter.
Jewish Group Doesn't Oppose Nasser Invitation
Robert R. Sokal, professor of entomology and counselor to the Hillel Foundation, said today that he has no objection to the invitation extended to President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic to speak at KU.
"WE CAN'T HAVE any objection if Nasser comes to speak at KU, because we all share the same attitude that everyone has the right to speak," Prof. Sokal said.
Nasser was invited to speak at KU by the department of political science, as a result of a suggestion made by Mohammed Shanaa, Lawrence senior and spokesman for the Arab American Club.
"PEOPLE SHOULD be cautioned against taking what Nasser says without a 'grain of salt' if he does speak here." Prof. Sokal said.
"In order to get a fair representation of the middle eastern situation opposite sides of the story should be presented," said the Hillel counselor. "If Nasser was invited by the Arab American Club, that's one thing, but if he was invited by the University, than an Israeli representative should also be invited at some future date."
IN REPLY TO Shanaa's remark that Nasser represented all Arabs in or out of the UAR, Prof. Sokal said:
"It is evident to anyone who reads the newspapers that Gamal Abdel Nasser does not represent all the Arabs, in spite of what the student said.
"Nasser does not speak for North African Arabs, Tunisia, Jordan or Iraq," said Prof. Sokal.
"If Nasser should come to speak at the University, he should be prepared to answer questions from members of the audience in order to find out his real intentions," he said.
"Certainly people will find out more about Nasser by questioning him, than by just listening to a prepared speech," Prof. Sokal continued.
"The basic issue is whether Gammal Abdel Nasser wants peace and a settlement in the Mideast. He has never given any indication that he wanted peace," said Prof. Sokal.
