Amendments to Be Subject Of Political Discussion
Discussion of the three proposed constitutional amendments starts Political Emphasis Week tomorrow during a coffee hour scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Kansas Union.
Talks will be given by two faculty members and a political science graduate student in the Music and Browsing Room of the Union.
Thomas L. W. Johnson, Rock- ford, Ill., graduate student, will speak on Amendment I. This amendment, if adopted, would remove the selection of Kansas Supreme Court justices from political campaigns. Instead of running
Marvin Meade, assistant director of consultation for the Governmental Research Center, will speak on amendment II. This amendment proposes to remove a constitutional ban on state participation in flood control and water conservation projects.
against a political opponent, a candidate for Supreme Court justice would stand on his own record.
James Titus, assistant professor of political science, will talk on Amendment III. This amendment would prohibit closed shop contracts between unions and employers in Kansas.
Gwendolyn Gray, Coffeyville junior, will be moderator of the program.
Italian Cardinal Voted As Pope John XXIII
VATICAN CITY—(UPI)—The Sacred College of Cardinals today elected Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, 76-year-old Italian patriarch of Venice, as the 262nd Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. He will reign as Pope John XXIII.
The choice of Cardinal Roncalli was an apparent compromise, made to give the Church a leader after two days of deadlock in the conclave.
An elderly man, his reign could be short, but it should give him time to bring the College of Cardinals back to its authorized strength of 70 members from its present low of 53.
The explosive cheers of the crowd—swollen to at least 250,000—greeted Pope John XXIII when he stepped onto the balcony of St. Peter's after receiving the homage of the assembled Cardinals who choose him.
Roncalli is considered a "non-political" Pope in short, one who will devote his main effort to the spiritual affairs of the Church rather than to international events.
A Cardinal priest, he was born Nov. 25, 1881, and
was created a Cardinal by the late Pope Pius XII—whom he succeeds—on Jan. 12, 1953.
The election of the Venetian patriarch came on the third day of voting—apparently on the 11th ballot.
First news of his election came to the world when a thin white wisp of smoke curled up at 5:07 p.m. (10:07 a.m. CST) from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel.
From the balcony of that same historic edifice he carried out his first public act after it was announced by Nicola Cardinal Canali that "We have a new Pope"—in the traditional Latin words "Habem Pope."
In a strong and ringing voice, the new Pontif delivered the traditional blessing "Urbi et Orbi" to the city and to the world.
There was a moment of tense silence as he intened the papal blessing—which carries a plenary indulgence for all who hear it. Then the cheers of the hundreds of thousands of Romans and visitors exploded again throughout the vast square.
Catholic Child Learns Too Well
The Sisters at a parish near here were proud of the way their sixth-graders could answer catechism questions.
When the day came for confirmation the sisters sat in serene confidence as the bishop turned from the altar to quiz the children.
He addressed a bright-eyed, attentive lad on the first row:
"Aren't you proud to be a Catholic, son?"
The nuns glowed in a brief moment of great expectations. Their prize pupil thought a minute, looked solemnly at the bishop and said:
"No, I'm not proud to be a Catholic. Sister says it's a sin to be proud."
Second Nobel Prize Goes to Red Physicists
STOCKHOLM — (UPI)— Russia won an unprecedented second Nobel Prize today when the Swedish Academy of Sciences presented the physics award to the Soviet experts who discovered and developed the "Cherenkov Effect," which may have been put to practical use in Russia's Sputniks.
The Russians who will share the $41,250 prize are Pavel A. Cherenkov, Igor E. Tamm and Ilya M. Frank.
The Academy said that work done by the three Russians paved the way for the University of California's recent discovery of the anti-proton and facilitated Stanford University studies of nuclear structure by electronic diffraction.
It is also the basis for new methods of studying cosmic rays.
The chain of physical discoveries which brought the three Russians into Nobel Prize consideration began in 1943, when Cherenkov noticed that a bottle of water under radioactive bombardment gave off a weak blue light.
He determined later that the light was created when radiation accelerated electrons in the water, driving them up to a velocity greater than the speed of light.
Tamm and Frank developed Cherenkov's discovery. They are believed to have used it as the basis for a new type of radiation counter that is now whirling through space in Sputnik III.
Israel Expert Says
Nasser Ignores Arab-Israeli Problem
President Nasser is so occupied with spreading "Nasserism" over the Middle East that he is not concerned with the Arab-Israeli problem at the moment, an Israeli press and information officer said Monday.
Michael Arnon, press information counselor of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D. C., said that Israel has been comparatively tranquil the past two years with only minor border skirmishes between the Jews and Arabs. Mr. Arnon attributes this to the fact that Nasser has been directing the energies of the Arab countries in other directions, mainly against the West.
"As long as Nasser directs the nationalistic energies of the Arab nations against the West, the problems of the Middle East will continue to grow," he said.
Mr. Arnon, on campus yesterday, is also lecturing to classes and organizations today.
The future of the Middle East rests in developing its resources for the good of all and not in an anti-Western purge, said Mr. Arnon.
some of their problems." he said.
"If the Arab nations would spend their money and energies to develop their countries instead of pouring it into a vast arms buildup, they would have a start toward solving
The expert on Israeli affairs listed four critical internal problems confronting the Arab nations:
1. Development of water resources
2. Raising the standard of living of the masses.
3. Wiping out illiteracy.

4. Controlling the expanding population through birth control.
"A state of war still exists between the Arabs and Jews," said Mr. Arnon. "That is, the Arabs are at war with the Jews but we are not at war with the Arabs."
Israel recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. During this decade the country, which is about the size of Massachusetts, has tripled its original population of 700,000. It has established 500 new agricultural communities and has developed its natural resources to a point where it is now exporting minerals and manufactured goods.
"This was all done while Israel was besieged during the war with the Arabs," Mr. Arnon said. Not all the Arab countries are happy with the spread of Nasserism, he said. He pointed out that only recently Tunisia broke with Nasser and that Iraq changed governments last summer but did not fall under the influence of Nasser as many believed it would.
"Nasser, in attempting to rid the Middle East of all Western influence, has made the West the scapegoat for all his troubles. He blames the evils that exist in the Arab nations on the West," Mr. Arnon said.
"Only when the positive forces of this region are put to work for the common good of the masses will we see some of the Middle East turmoil subside," Mr. Arnold said.
