LITTLE ROCK STUDENTS—Scanning a newspaper from their home town are three Little Rock students attending KU. From left are Jane Emery and James McDaniel, both freshmen, and Sharon Laessig, sophomore.
'Faubus Pulls Strings'-
Race Issue Political Say KU Students
Three KU students who are graduates of Little Rock, Ark., high schools agreed Gov. Faubus is pulling the segregation strings to gain political power for himself.
Sharon Laessig, Little Rock sophomore and 1957 Central High graduate last summer, worked as secretary and receptionist for Chris Finkbeiner, the gubernatorial candidate who finished second to Faubus.
"When called before the supreme court Faubus has stressed potential violence, ready to explode at any minute, in Little Rock as the reason for many of his actions. But when I was there in 1957 I found no evidence of it," she said.
Integration Inevitable
Miss Laessig believes intregration is inevitable in the South, and nothing is being accomplished by delaying it.
"Much of the trouble in the South comes from prejudiced parents. If children could break away it would help a lot," she said.
James McDaniel, KU freshman and Central-High graduate in 1958, agrees integration is inevitable, but both sides should slow down.
"A hundred years ago the Negro was the white mans' slave. It is going to take at least another generation for Southerners to accept him as an equal," he said.
Students Want School
McDaniel believes many pro-Faubus students have changed their minds about the governor after he closed their schools.
"I received a letter from a buddy of mine who was pro-Faubus last

year. He has changed his mind about him now. All he wants to do is go back to school.

"It is hard for a northerner to understand the situation unless he is right in the middle of it. But it is all pretty much a reality when you look out the window from your English class and see soldiers guarding your school." McDaniel said.
Jane Emery, Little Rock freshman and 1958 graduate of Hall High School, said the majority of students do not believe Faubus is doing the right thing by closing down the schools.
Poll Favors School
"This fall a poll was taken of high school students in Little Rock. About 85% of the students would rather go to school, regardless of who it is with," she said.
Her main complaint is that Faubus is ruining the students chance for an education.
"I don't believe he had a good state government anyway," she said in regard to Faubus.

Union Addition Loan OK'd For Expanded Facilities
An $800,000 loan for a six-level addition to the Kansas Union has been approved by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency.
The $1 million addition, to be built north of the Union, will be financed in part by the sale of bonds.
