Fulbright Scholar Says -
German People Have Fear Of Another World War
Outbreaks of fighting in isolated places which threaten the peace of the world have caused the German people to fear a world war more than anything else today.
This opinion was given by Klaus Bosch, Giengen, Germany, graduate student in political science, in a Daily Kansan interview yesterday.
"By day and night we heard American planes flying above when the Lebanon crisis broke out," the Fulbright scholar said. "And we know that in case of an emergency, Russian tanks could be on the Rhine within 2-3 hours."
Bosch, who arrived in the United States only six weeks ago, said "the number of people visiting back and forth between the two parts of Germany is continually going down.
"Until 1955 the Russians wanted people living in the divisions controlled by them to go and influence the Western people," he said. "Now, only those who are very loyal to the Communistic system are allowed to go. Those living in the Western zones can visit only close relatives in the Eastern divisions.
tions, nearly 5,000 people leave the Eastern part each week," Bosch said. "They flee to the Western part of Berlin where they seek political

"But even with the tight restric-

asylum. Then they are flown to West Germany because the camps in Berlin are totally crowded."
"And once they have left, he said.
they are not allowed to return, since fleeing is a crime under the Eastern Communistic government."
The main objection to Communist domination of the Eastern section is that there is no real freedom, Bosch explained. They get a ballot whose candidates are selected by the party. They have no freedom to alter their selections.
their selections.
At this moment, Bosch said he could see no possibility in bringing the two parts together.
"The Russians definitely won't agree to a withdrawal of troops. A revolt was tried in 1953, but was defeated by Russian tanks. And it is impossible to fight them without arms," he said. "Nobody knows what to do. The only hope we have is a change in world politics."
What about the current Western powers' domination?
"In spite of World War II, the majority of my people still hold a feeling of neighborhood and friendship with the U.S. for the help they have given the Germans," he said.
"Although they look forward to the day they will once again have a reunited and free Germany, they realize that it is necessary for U.S. troops to protect their country," he concluded.
46 Years Later
Jayhawk Creator Is Still Active
Where is Henry (Hank) Maloy, creator of the Jayhawk?
Forty-six years ago this month. Mr. Maloy, a young cartoonist for The Daily Kansan, drew the first Jayhawk.
Mr. Maloy said, with a chuckle, he is helping supervise the rebuilding of Potter Lake.
Mr. Muloy, still a strong supporter of the dayhawkers, is now retired and lives in the Colonial Hotel close to the campus whose history he helped make. He needs a bike for his new part-time occupation.
Last summer Mr. Maloy worked out on his bicycle, a light English type, until he was able to ride a hundred miles a day.
He said the lake, built between his freshman and sophomore years in 1911, always disturbed him.

Two Research Contracts Renewed for Chemistry
Two contracts for research in the KU chemistry department, totalling $21,142, have been renewed for a year.
The office of Ordnance Research has provided $10,342 in new funds for the sixth year of study of "Reduction of Organic Compounds by Lower Valent Species of Active Metals."
Jacob Kleinberg and William McEwen, professor of chemistry, co-direct the project.
"The Lake looked like a cow pond," he said. He wants the corners of the lake rounded off.
This October, however, 46 years after the birth of the Jayhawk, Mr Maloy's bicycle was stolen as he supervised construction of Potter Lake.
This project is under the direction of Prof. Kleinberg and Ernest Griswold, professor of chemistry.
"I am also digging up missing links," he said in reference to the large library of archaeology books he keeps in his room. He is also reading John Gunther's "Inside Africa" and exploring books on flying saucers.
1st 'Night of Nations' Presented Tomorrow
The Atomic Energy Commission has renewed its contract for $10,800 for the fourth year of investigation of "Some Problems in the Chemistry of Low Oxidation States of Metals."
The first Night of Nations will be presented by the International Club at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
This will be the Spanish-American evening. It is the first of a series the Club plans to present to the public throughout this academic year. The Spanish-American students on the campus will present skits, dancing and other entertainment.
The Jayhawk did not become the official symbol of Kansas until 1914.
She said the students are reading Pearl Buck's "The Good Earth" and are planning research papers on the economic status of the Chinese peasant.
A related group of nearly 100 high school sophomores was set up in Lawrence by Howard Mehlinger, a history teacher at Lawrence High School. The program is a world his-
"College-level readings in geography, oriental philosophy, and the impact of the West are studied," Miss Robena Pringle, supervisor of social studies in Topeka schools, said.
Research Grant To KU Instructor
Harold A. Gould, instructor in the department of sociology and anthropology, has been named a postdoctoral fellow for the 1959-60 academic year by the National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C.
Mr. Gould will go to India and devote full time to a research program. In 1954-55 he began a study of family and kinship organization in a north India peasant community. He was under a Fulbright Student scholarship at the time.
He will be awarded a Ph.D. degree from Washington University of St. Louis before leaving for India in June. His doctoral dissertation was based upon his previous research in India.
Junior High Students Study College Course
A unique program of college-level Asian history studies is be conducted in Topeka for 25 selected junior high school students. The program, started by George M. Beckman, associate professor of history, is being watched by high schools throughout the nation.
No special credit is given for the class. It meets for two hours a day. The students represent all of the city's seven junior high schools.
"The program is a study experiment to utilize the talents of students in the upper academic section and is a conscious effort to gain understanding of Asian people," Prof. Beckman said.
The program includes background reading and a research-type paper.
