Chancellor Murphy Criticizes Faubus
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy last night labeled Gov. Orval Faubus "a venal man taking advantage of the color of innocent children for his own political purposes."
Chancellor Murphy told delegates at a 50th anniversary dinner of the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health Assn. meeting in Topeka, that "this man from Arkansas is doing a great violence to the traditions and dignity of our country."
This country has a secret weapon, Chancellor Murphy said, for use against the Communists in the present struggle to win the underdeveloped parts of the world. That weapon is the fundamental concept of human dignity, individual opportunity and freedom from tyranny.
But, Chancellor Murphy stated, the man from Arkansas is writing black headlines around the world which "tarnish our weapons and eat into the hearts and ego of our fellow men."
"It is a plain and simple fact, too many people in the United States have lost the drive and vision that distinguished our country the last 100 years," Chancellor Murphy remarked in commenting on the present drive being conducted by the Soviet Union.

Parents' Day Plans Set for CU-KU Game
Several activities, plus a special performance by the KU band at half-time of the KU-Colorado game Saturday will honor students' parents.
The band has received its new uniforms and will wear them for pre-game and half-time festivities. Four trumpeteers will lead the 100-man band in its performances.
Following the pre-game band performance, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy will give an official welcome to the parents. The band will then give a musical toast to both Colorado and KU.
White shirts will be worn by both students and parents wishing to sit in the student section. The white shirts will outline the red "KU" formed by the freshman pep clubs. The band section will be at the top of the student section.
No card tricks will be performed by the pep clubs, but the cheerleaders will be accompanied
by two members of the KU gymnastics team, Stanley Allen, senior, and Larry Prather, sophomore, both from Wichita.
The new Jayhawk will not be completed for the Colorado game because of a delay in getting materials, but the big bird will be in full feather for the next home game.
The freshman pep clubs have decorated the goal posts and roped off the student section. The KuKus will be on hand at noon to organize the white-shirted Javhawk fans.
During half time, the band will give a special performance in honor of all the parents.
