'Bombers' Suspended; No County Action Yet
The two students whose prank caused the bomb scare last Wednesday in Strong Hall have been suspended for the rest of the semester, Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said today.
The students, both sophomores,
are Jack D. Salmon, Elkhart, and
Walter C. Brauer, Bonner Springs
show to the University's satisfaction why they should be readmitted.
Both may apply for re-admission to the University at the beginning of the spring semester, Dean Wood-ruff said. At that time they must
The students said they got the idea for the prank from an editorial in the Daily Kansan which suggested a "good" college prank was needed.
County Attorney Wayne Alphin said this morning he still had not decided what action to take against the men. All evidence and statements were turned over to the attorney's office.
SUA Carnival Titles To Jones, Abernathy
Miss Carol J. Abernathy, Kansas City, Kan., senior, Delta Delta Delta, was voted queen of the 1958 Student Union Carnival Saturday night. Dick Jones, McPherson senior, Delta Tau Delta, and head cheerleader at KU, was chosen Little Man On Campus.
Miss Abernathy's attendants were Jane Perry, Lawrence sophomore, Phi Beta Phi, and Barbara Barlow, Prairie Village freshman. Runners-up for LMOC were Fred Bukaty, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, Kappa Sigma, and Jim Westhoff, Gardner senior, Sigma Phi Epsilon.
The winning skit in the women's division was "Hoop Scoop," by the Kappa Kappa Gamma pledge class.
Describing the hoop, hula and other types, as an age old weapon of woman in her efforts to win man, the Kappas traced its evolution from cave man days to modern times.
Delta Upsilon fraternity won the men's division with "Bridge on the River Kaw," a take-off on the University building program.
First place booth in the women's division went to Sigma Kappa for their "Stake Fry" where members of the crowd were "burned at the stake"
but were released by friends who forfeited a booth ticket.
First place booth in the men's division went to Sigma Pi's "Straight to the Carnival," a poker game held by throwing darts at cards on a wall.
Alpha Phi's "Jungle Phi-ver" took second place, and Kappa Alpha Theta's "Kats' Corner" won third place in the women's division of the booths. Both were ring or hoop throwing contests.
"Sinning with the Sigs," an old time western gambling house run by the Sigma Chis won second place in the men's division of the booths. The Sigma Nu fudge throwing contest, "Here's Mud in Your Eye," took third place in the booths.
Phi Kappa Psi's "Pussyfoot," a take-off on TV ratings by depicting the early cowpoke's struggle for gunslinger ratings, won second place in the men's skit division.
Gamma Phi Beta's "Sadie and Her Swinging Seven" showed how Snow White and the seven dwarfs got "jazzed up, KU style," in their second place winning skit.
"Mother's Goose is Cooked," presented by members of the pledge class of Pi Beta Phi, won third place in their skit which showed how much more interesting Mother Goose rhymes are when done to rock and roll.
Reed Blasts Highway Group
HUTCHINSON —(UPI) — Candidate Clyde M. Reed Jr. today charged the all-Democratic state highway commission with "mixing paving with politics."
The Republican candidate for governor said political promises made to gain votes will not give Kansas the kind of highway system it needs.
In a speech before a Reno County GOP rally here, Reed said, "It is sheer political chicanery to announce federal-state highway construction programs during political campaigns."
The state highway commission recently announced plans for an 80 million-dollar road program.

Former First Lady Says Eisenhower 'Unimaginative'
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt said Saturday the Eisenhower administration has shown a "complete lack of imagination" in keeping Americans informed of developments in foreign affairs.
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to 600 persons attending a dinner at Topeka. The dinner marked the 25th anniversary of the inauguration of her late husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt, as President of the United States.
Without mentioning President Eisenhower by name, Mrs. Roosevelt said she cannot recall a speech when the President "clarified" a situation at home or abroad.
"Our country has never lacked greatness," Mrs. Roosevelt said. "New times require new thinking. It is on the shoulders of the Democratic party to provide that new thinking."
"The administration has shown a complete lack of imagination in educating the public in foreign affairs," she said. She said the public's ignorance of the importance of the islands of Matsu and Quemoy, lying off the Chinese mainland, is an example of the administration's failure.
Mrs. Roosevelt accused the Republicans of failing to develop a long-range plan of action in the
cold war with Russia.
Russia has won many underdeveloped countries with its program of inviting top government officials to Russia, Mrs. Roosevelt said.
"Our challenge," she said, "is to win these countries with a program more adequate than our limited student exchange program."
Mrs. Roosevelt urged the United States to use its surplus food supplies in the cold war struggle. She recommended the establishment of a food distribution plan to be handled by the United Nations.
Referring to the cold war, Mrs. Roosevelt said if the free world loses, "... something spiritual and infinitely more precious than free enterprise will be lost to the world. Our job is to make Russia lose by default."
Mrs. Roosevelt was introduced by Mrs. Ruby Harris of Marion, vice-chairman of the state women's Democratic committee.
Frank Theis of Arkansas City, Kansas Democratic national committeeman, said the dinner will become an annual event. A group of KU Young Democrats attended the dinner.
