RESEARCH—Julie Dennis, Lawrence junior, conducts an experiment with mitochondria, a portion of a cell from a rat brain. She is assisting Dr. William Balfour, physiology research associate, as an undergraduate research participant under the KU Honors Student program.
KU Honor Students' Papers to Be Published
Papers compiled by KU honor students will be published with funds from a $45,000 grant received by the University from the Carnegie Foundation.
George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences outlined the plan to nearly 150 honor students at a meeting at the Kansas Union last night.
A portion of the money will be used to continue undergraduate research grants which have been in existence for several years.
THE GROUP will elect an advisory board of four members which will help make decisions about the content of the publications.
A former grant from the Carnegie Foundation originated the undergraduate research and also helped to pay for an experiment using undergraduates as instructors.
"The honors program has grown from an experimental group of 32 in the fall of 1955 to more than 300 in the program now," said Dean Waggoner.
THE FIRST students who were selected for the honors program were Watkins or Summerfield Scholarship finalists. When the National Merit Scholarships were introduced, the finalists in those tests were included. The members of the honors program represent the upper two per cent of the college students in the nation.
"One of the original reasons for organizing an honors program was to create more interest in the honors sections of the different departments on campus," Dean Waggoner said. "Several years ago only five graduated with departmental honors and last spring 32 did."
As the number of students in the honors program increased, the number of advanced sections of freshman-sophomore courses were created.
THE MOST important change concerning the entire university was the increase in faculty members who are acting as advisers to the freshmen and sophomores. The average load per adviser is now 19 compared with as many as 60 before the program had its origin.
"The honors program will continue to grow and expand," Dean Waggoner said, "and the university and faculty will have to grow with it."
U.S. Flag Flies In East Berlin
Daily hansan
BERLIN — (UPI) — U.S. Ambassador Walter C. Dowling showed the American flag in East Berlin today to display his determination to maintain Western rights in this isolated and divided city.
His trip was symbolic of the Western Big Three stand that Berlin is a four-power city and the West has the right of free movement in the city and to it.
Earlier in the day, Dowling travelled through the Soviet zone to Berlin by special train without difficulty in defiance of a Communist ban on the travel of Western diplomats through West Germany. The ban did not apply to the United States, Britain or France.
He passed through Brandenburg gate into the Soviet sector in his chauffer-driven Cadillac, which flew a small American flag from one fender and the ambassador's flag from the other.

Ike Raps'Meddling'Reds Proposes African Aid
President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic may visit KU.
THE IDEA to invite President Nasser originated among members of the American Arab Club, said Mohammed Shanaa, Lawrence senior.
"Nasser is considered by the Arabs as a whole, in or out of the UAR, as a symbol of freedom for us," Shanaa said.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—President Eisenhower today called on Russia to stop meddling in the Congo and to help the United Nations carry out a five-point program he proposed to assist new African nations to build in freedom.
By United Press International
He said Soviet secrecy added to the pressing danger of "war by miscalculation" and urged the Soviets to join in disarmament talks designed to halt the global arms race and prevent its spread into space.
HE WARNED that the United Nations must resist "outside pressures" obviously from the Soviet bloc—that imperil the freedom of newly emerging African states.
Ethan Allen, chairman of the political science department, said President Nasser has been invited by the University to speak to the student body.
Horn Denies Discrimination
"I don't think that there will be any opposition to Nasser because of his position as head of state, and because he will be under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service."
"Any nation, seduced by glittering promises into becoming a catspaw for an imperialistic power, thereby undermines the United Nations and places in jeopardy the independence of itself and others," Eisenhower said.
In his speech, the President out-
Lawrence City Manager Harold E. Horn firmly denied a charge that he discriminated against a Negro who tried to get a job for his daughter as a typist in the City Hall.
Nasser Invited To Speak at KU
Nasser has not replied to the invitation as yet.
"This is completely wrong," Mr. Horn said, "That door has been opened to everybody, and I defy anyone to prove otherwise. I completely deny the charges because, if it is the same person who I'm thinking of, we spent over an hour in this office discussing the problem in an amiable manner."
The charge was made by Albert Wright, 211 Missouri St., at a meeting of the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy Tuesday.
MR. HORN said that the incident happened over two years ago and he couldn't recall all of the details.
"The main reason that we want him to come is so that he can present his ideas personally to the people, then let them form their own conclusions."
The invitation was sent to President Nasser through the Arab representative at the United Nations in New York, where Nasser is presently attending sessions of the General Assembly.
WHEN ASKED whether he expected any opposition to Nasser from students as there was when Jules Dubois was here, Shanaa replied:
"There is no reason why any person shouldn't be considered for city jobs if they qualify. If she qualified, she would have as much chance as anyone else," the City Manager said. "This does not mean that we will hire a person simply because he or she is colored."
Referring to Mr. Wright,Mr. Horn said:
"THE GIRL wasn't hired because there weren't any openings. There have been openings for part time typists, but she was interested in a full time job."
"He was up here because there were no Negro people working in white collar jobs in Lawrence, and he wanted his daughter, who was working as a typist in Topeka to get a job in her home town, if they are the people I'm thinking of.
When asked whether there ever were Negroes working in clerical positions at City Hall, Mr. Horn replied;
"The girl did come up for an interview and we put her application on file. Nothing has even been mentioned about it since then," continued Mr. Horn.
MR. HORN said there are Negroes working for the city of Lawrence in the police department and in the sanitation department, but that at present there are no Negroes working in the City Hall.
"I can't vouch for what was done in the past, nor could I check the records because they do not indicate the person's color."
lined a broadly based plan for world progress. His major proposals are as follows:
THE AFRICAN QUESTION — Eisenhower proposed that a pledge by all countries represented at the Assembly respect the African peoples' right "to choose their own way of life and to determine for themselves the course they wish to follow."
"To refrain from intervening in the new nations' internal affairs—by subversion, force, propaganda, or any other means."
"That the United Nations should be prepared to help the African countries maintain their security without wasteful and dangerous competition in armaments."
Eisenhower said "we should all support the United Nations response to emergency needs in the Republic of the Congo which the Secretary General has shown such skill in organizing."
The United Nations should help newly developing African countries shape their long-term modernization program.
An all-out effort should be made by the United Nations to help African countries launch such educational activities as they may wish to undertake."
The chief executive also recommended creation of "standby" forces by each nation to help the U.N. in emergencies. He also supported a request for an improved U.N.military-political staff to move into crisis areas.
OUTER SPACE—The United Nations "should agree that celestial bodies are not subject to national appropriation by any claims of sovereignty and that the nations of the world shall not engage in warlike activities on these bodies.
"We agree, subject to appropriate verification, that no nation will put into orbit or station in outer space weapons of mass destruction.
"We press forward with a program of international cooperation for constructive peaceful uses of outer space under the United Nations. Better weather forecasting. improved
world-wide communications and more effective exploration not only of outer space but of our own earth—these are but a few of the benefits of such cooperation."
A high U.S. official said the President's suggestion might require U.N. inspection of all American and Soviet satellite launchings to see that the ban on orbiting weapons was not violated.
DISARAMAMENT — "Negotiations can and should be resumed on disarmament. The United States is prepared to submit to any international inspection, provided only that it is effective and truly reciprocal."
PRESIDENT EISENHOOWER
... "war by miscalculation"
NUCLEAR WEAPONS—Eisenhower proposed that the "nations producing nuclear weapons immediately convene experts to design a system for terminating, under verification procedures, all production of fissionable materials for weapons purposes."

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. — (UPI)
—A high Russian official said today there was "nothing new" in President Eisenhower's policy speech to the U. N. General Assembly today and that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would deliver a full reply to it tomorrow.
U.N. Reactions Vary
---
Most of the delegates had received Eisenhower's appeal for African economic and technical aid and an end to Soviet meddling in the Congo soberly and quietly, glad that it was comparatively free of cold war propaganda.
THE FIRST reaction was a welcome from most for the five-point African program and his expression of solid support for the policies of Secretary - General Dag Hammarskjold, who has been under almost continuous Soviet attack for three months.
Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who listened without reaction and did not applaud, was not available for comment. But a Kremlin official close to the Soviet Premier said the speech was "moderate in tone."
The Russian official said all of the Eisenhower proposals had been advanced before and that Khrushchev tomorrow "will deal formally with all of Eisenhower's suggestions."
SOVIET FOREIGN Minister Andrei Gromyko said there would be no comment until tomorrow.
President Tito of Yugoslavia followed Eisenhower to the rostrum and strongly criticized western policies in Europe and in Africa. He said they had brought the world to its "eleventh hour."
The assembly adjourned at 1:17 p.m. until 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.
Polish Communist Party Leader Wladyslaw Gomulka would not comment on Eisenhower's speech because it was "too early" but he said Tito took a "more positive approach" to world problems. He added that the Yugoslav's speech "still requires reading."
THE PRESIDENT was not inter-rupted at all as he spoke in a deliberately pitched minor key to dip-
