Prof. J. Sheldon Carey and His Uranium-Glazed Vases
There's Uranium Glazes In Them Thar' Vases
Finding raw materials for making vases can be difficult, especially if the material is uranium.
J. Sheldon Carey, professor of design, has found that the use of this radioactive substance can result in forming unusual colors in vases.
Prof. Carey's work in ceramics is on exhibit at the Museum of Art until Jan. 15.
Uranium glazes used on early experimental works included in the show react strongly to a Geiger counter. Such glazes are no longer available.
Elongated vases in the show are Prof. Carey's "upside down" innovation. Formerly, such tall vases had to be created in sections which were joined. Experimenting and utilizing force of gravity, Prof. Carey developed a method of "throwing" clay upside down.
Prof. Carev recently received one

South's Side Loses Debate
The supporters of the South's stand on segregation lost a debate sponsored by the International Club at the Kansas Union Friday night.
Ed Abels, associate editor of the Lawrence Outlook, and Ronald Hamby, Boaz, Ala., graduate student, were unable to convince one person out of a crowd of 100 that the United States Supreme Court's integration decision of 1954 was wrong.
The topic for discussion, "Resolved: That the resistance of the southern states to desegregation in the schools is justifiable," was opposed by Harry J. Shaffer, instructor of economics, and Rab Malik, Pakistan senior.
Mr. Abels started the debate by arguing that Communists are responsible for the integration crisis in the South.
"The Communists are back of all this agitation and trouble," he charged.
Mr. Abels said one of the reasons Southerners oppose integration so much is they recognize the sub-
versible elements in the movement. "The Southern states are fighting and will continue to fight for what they believe to be right." Mr. Abels said. He said another reason the South opposes integration is because of the living standards of the Negro.
versive elements in the movement.
"The Southerner feels the Negro is a threat to him just because he is different. One of the differences the Southerner sees is in the Negro's conduct. He considers the Negro a bad influence," he said.
"It is obvious that the Negro's living standards are much lower than those of the white people in the South. I have seen them and I know," he said.
"I refuse to believe that the men who made the country as great as it is intended to discriminate against U.S. citizens," Malik said. He continued:
Negro. I approve of having separate schools for the more and less capable students, but the fact that a person is a Negro would have no bearing on this."
Mr. Shaffer, following Mr. Abels, said he did not like to be put into a position of defending the Communists by Mr. Abels, but that there is a different reason for the crisis in the South.
"The difference between the Negro and the white is the important thing to the Southerner," he said.
Hamby said the Negro exists outside the social arrangement of the South.
"The Southerner does not hate the Negro, but he treats him as you or I would treat a dog," Mr. Shaffer said.
Malik said he could see no grounds for the South's dispute. According to his interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court is the final authority on the matter.
"Recently the dog has begun to bark and refuse to answer his master's every whim. This is causing the crisis," he said.
For people who say Southern Negroes would pull down education standards if schools were integrated, Mr. Shaffer said:
"Scientists have proved that there is no difference between the learning ability of the white and the
Mite Research Program Gets 3-Year Grant
"We all have to live on this earth, whether we are black, brown, yellow or white. We are all members of the human race. Why can't we live as friends?"
Dr. Robert Beer, associate professor and acting head of the entomology department, will do research on mites. He has received a grant of $15,000 for three years from the National Science Foundation.
The grant is to be used for basic research entitled "Comparative Internal Anatomy of the Acarina." The order Acarina includes all mites.
Opera Singers Can Try Out for "Carmen"
The University Theatre will hold auditions for the March production of George Bizet's opera, "Carmen," tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the main theater of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
Sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones and basses are needed. Those interested should come prepared to sing something from "Carmen" plus a selection of their own choice.
An accompanist will be present. Sheet music should be brought for the elective selection.
"For the past 50 years the classifications of mites has been in a turmoil and there is an urgent need to be able to identify species without question." Dr. Beer said.
The classification is particularly

important for economic reasons to the farmer in agricultural control measures.
Other research on mites is being supported with a new $1,610 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service. James Oliver, Eudora graduate student, is principal investigator. Dr. Beer is his research adviser.
Malik said the prestige and security of the United States are involved in the integration crisis. He said it does the United States great harm when its representatives are asked what is being done about racial segregation in the South, and they are unable to answer.
