Sexes Disagree on Senior Gift Idea
The question of a senior class gift may become a battle of the sexes.
Many senior women interviewed prefer furnishings for the new addition to the Kansas Union, while many of the men favor a trophy case for Allen Field House.
The senior class will decide on the gift Thursday morning at the Senior Coffee. The gift committee has made three recommendations, from which the gift will be chosen. The third choice is a diorama for Dyche Museum.
KU students noted with interest that the graduating class at Northwestern University is leaving a fund of $4,000 for faculty salary increases. But the KU class of 1959 did not consider such a gift.
Jane Flagler, Geneva, Ill., senior, echoes the opinions of many senior women. "I would prefer giving furnishings for the Union because this would be a much more
Top News Kudos To Wichita East
Wichita East high school took top honors in the 39th annual high school newspaper contest, sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism, it was announced today.
Twenty-four Kansas high schools were recognized for journalistic work of merit during the 1958-59 school year. Thirty-nine schools submitted entries.
The 12 contest divisions were news story, editorial, feature, human interest story, interview, sports story, news and feature pictures, retail advertisement, service-to-school, business management, columns and miscellaneous.
Wichita East, which has won or tied for the service-to-school award for nine consecutive years, this year shared the honor with Norton high school.
Wichita East took nine places, Topeka. Lawrence and Washington of Bethel six each and Norton, Bonner Springs, Arkansas City and Wyandotte of Kansas City, Kan. four each.
practical gift than a trophy case; she said.
Gary Shofner, Ottawa senior, presented the argument for the trophy case. "If we put a trophy case in the field house, thousands of people will look at the trophies and see what KU athletes have done." he said.
A few seniors believe that none of the three proposed gifts is suitable for the class of 1959 to donate to the University.
Richard Brandt, Newton senior,
said, "I think it would be more appropriate to donate a scholarship,
which would be of lasting value."
Donna Nelson, Kansas City, Kan. senior, also was disappointed with the recommendations of the committee. "I think we could do far more constructive things, but of the three suggestions, the furnishings for the Union would be best."
LeRoy Lord, Ridge Manor, Fla. senior, was particularly opposed to the trophy case. "I don't like any of the suggested gifts. I would favor a scholarship or loan fund, but definitely not a trophy case," he said.
Science Paper Gets $300 Award

Federation Best for Arabs, Gallagher Says
The North African expert said the pan-Arabism movement is an intellectual as well as a social and political revolution. He outlined the Arab wants as political justice, social justice, reform and economic stability, in that order.
or anything can be said about the Arab world it is that it is unpredictable. No one can say for certain what will happen concerning an Arab federation," he said.

Ray Nichols, Lawrence junior, and Don Bowen, Salina senior, will represent KU in the debate on "Resolved: That Democracy is a Perverted Form of Government." Nichols and Bowen will take the affirmative side.
Murphy Says Education Lost
KU debaters will match wits and arguments with a debate team from the University of London at 8 p.m. tonight in Bailey Auditorium.

KU to Debate London U. Tonight
Over 200 high school girls saw exhibits and demonstrations prepared by home economics department students Friday at the department's annual High School Day.
The idea that education might bring a richer personal life has been practically lost, he said.
"Unity today is not being built on a religious or a racial foundation but rather is being built as a community of Arabs." Mr. Gallagher said. He defined the word Arab as a cultural term like American.
Exhibits in the foods department emphasized differences in cost and time of preparation of ready-mixed and home-made pie, calorie count in favorite snacks and vitamin C content in beverages.
"The trend toward unity is not a new trend," Mr. Gallagher said. "The Arabs themselves are the first to point this cut. They think in terms of reconstituting a unity that existed over 1,000 years ago as a religious state.
Charles F. Gallagher told a Current Events Forum audience Friday afternoon that there is a strong trend toward community unity rather than total unity in the Middle East and North Africa.
He suggested three betterment ideas;
"We can now see that a more loose federation may be the best thing for the Middle East and North Africa." Mr. Gallagher concluded.
1. There should never be a year in any school without a rigorous course in the written word.

Speaking on "The Trend Toward One Arab World" the American Universities Field Staff expert said the trend towards unity is greater in North Africa than in the Middle East.
2. The nation should accept this as an age of science and it is inexcusable that anyone should get out of a secondary school without a course in laboratory sciences.
3. More young people should be learning foreign languages.
