DEBATERS—Two members of the KU debate team, Robert Walker, Frankfort junior, on the left, and John S. Corey, Wichita special student, on the right, are welcomed to the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary by Warden C. H. Looney.
Prison Team Impresses KU Debators
KU debaters, used to talking in halls of higher learning from coast to coast, went to the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary recently—all in the line of duty.
The debaters, Robert M. Walker, Frankfort junior, and John S. Corey, Wichita special student, set a precedent by taking part in this, the first collegiate debate in the history of the prison.
Debating is offered to the prisoners for college credit through the University Extension. These prisoners are part of the 1,600 inmates taking part in the education program at Leavenworth.
Warden C. H. Looney praised the KU students for their ability and also their willingness to participate in the program.
Walker and Corey were very impressed with the eagerness of the prisoners and the preparedness shown by the men for the event.
"I felt as though I wanted to cry after the debate. The vital interest these fellows showed in wanting to
"They were the kind of fellows I would like to have as neighbors and friends," he added.
see how they compared with someone from the outside and the eagerness with which they were trying to get back on their feet was an experience out of this world.
This is the first time the penitentiary has attempted a collegiate debate. It extended invitations to several universities, but KU was the only team which accepted.
"The prison team had thoroughly researched the subject and with a little more coaching could be as good as any team in the country," Walker said.
Kim Giffin, associate professor of speech and KU debate coach, and Joseph C. Rhea, instructor of speech, accompanied the debaters to Leavenworth.
Science Foundation Gives $48,400 Grant
"It was the biggest audience I've ever debated before," Walker said. "It was evident the audience was for its own team, but it was also interested whenever anyone made a good point. There was a lot of applause," he said.
The National Science Foundation has given the University a grant of $48,400 for research on the structure and nature of solid crystals at very low temperatures.
Dr. J. W. Culvahouse, assistant professor of physics, will be principal investigator during the two-year research. Dr. R. C. Sapp, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, is senior investigator.
The national college debate topic used was: "Resolved: that further development of nuclear weapons should be prohibited by international agreement." The KU team won 2 to 1.

Plan Rush Meeting At GSP This Evening
Names and room numbers of the chemistry faculty were rearranged into meaningless groups of letters. An arrow used to direct students toward the chemistry department was pointed toward the ceiling.
All independent upperclass women interested in open rush during this year should meet at 6:30 tonight in GSP living room. Women need not be registered for open rush to attend this meeting.
The department of chemistry staff bulletin board in Malott Hall was rearranged sometime last night in the latest prank at KU.
The bulletin board was unlocked, but the door was shut to appear locked.
Explanation of Last Night's Latest KU Prank Unknown
Nancy Fligg, Kansas City, Mo., senior and president of Panhellenic, and Nancy Holmes, Hutchinson senior and head of Panhellenic rushing regulations committee, will explain rushing procedures which will be in effect for the remainder of the year.
The University Daily Kansan received two anonymous calls early this morning saying something was on or near the board, but Malott was locked and the report could not be checked. Campus police were called to check the building, but nothing could be found. The Daily Kansan discovered the board at 8 am.
