Beauty Spot Has Mudpack
Formerly a water reservoir, and a beauty spot on the campus, Potter Lake is now a drying mudhole.
Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, said that in the near future, however, it will again be a lake, operated by the zoology department.
The lake was originally built around the turn of the century as a water reservoir in case of fire. After it outgrew its purpose, it became a campus landmark.
"Through the years because of erosion, the lake bottom has become a pit of silt," said Mr. Lawton Last year the deepest point in the lake was only six feet. Because of the danger of floods, the lake was emptied last June.
"Until now the lake has been drying out. It is sufficiently dry for a bulldozer to begin excavating the silt," added Mr. Lawton.
In the future the zoology department will use the lake as a research lab.
'Adams Will Resign Local GOP, Demos Say
Sherman Adams will probably resign tonight.
That is the opinion of the top man in Republican circles in Douglas County, Robert F. Ellsworth, chairman of the Republican Central Committee. Adams will give the final answer to the nation tonight on radio and television in a 10-minute statement at 4:35 p.m. Lawrence time.
Ellsworth said today that he knew little more about the situation than anyone else.
"But my guess is that Adams will resign," he told The Daily Kansan. "I'm not too close to the situation, but he must be on the way out or they wouldn't be going to all this trouble."
Local democrats agree that Adams will go. Mrs. Harry Budke, vice-chairman of the democratic central committee for the county, said she thought high Republicans had brought increasing pressure on the President for Adam's resignation since the Maine elections.
Edward Chapman, Leavenworth junior and chairman of the KU Young Democrats, said, "I'm betting Adams will go."
"I think the President was ill-advised," she said. "He never should have waited this long to ask for it. Leaders in Congress apparently feel that Mr. Adams is a liability. I assume that he will resign tonight, or they wouldn't have scheduled the radio and TV time."
"This evening's broadcast is no surprise to me," he said. "I thought it was only a matter of time after the Maine elections. The Republicans' loss made it apparent that Adams is a liability."
He said that the President's leaving Adam's resignation entirely in Adam's hands after the Maine elections was a switch from the President's earlier stand.
"That is when I thought Adams would be out soon," Chapman said.
Joan Stafford, St. Joseph, Mo.
senior and chairman of the KU
Young Republicans, feels that Adams should and will resign.
She said, "I feel that Mr. Adams has done a good job and that he is a man of fine personal integrity. But, I think that he exercised poor judgment in his dealings with Mr. Goldfine and he should resign.
"Anyone in public office, regardless of his position, has a responsibility to the people. If he is suspected of having done anything of a questionable nature, I feel he should resign."
The Kansas Union executive committee has declared a patronage refund of 10 per cent after reviewing the financial report of the Union Book Store.
"I think Mr. Adams will do that tonight," she said.
Book Store Pays Patronage Refund
The refund is declared on July 1 and January 1 annually and is based on the store's financial condition in the preceding six months.
Refunds are being paid now for the periods 14-23. The period is indicated on the cash register receipt.
Weather
Partly cloudy this afternoon, tonight and Tuesday. Warmer this afternoon. Little change in temperatures tonight and Tuesday. Few showers likely extreme northwest Tuesday. Low tonight 55 northwest to 65 southeast. High Tuesday 80s.
China Crisis Affects World
By United Press International
The Moscow press devoted banner headlines today to President Eisenhower's rejection of Premier Nikita Khrushchev's latest note on the Formosa crisis.
The Moscow man-in-the-street took the rejection calmly, but diplomatic observers said it led to a situation which appeared to be the most dangerous the world has known since World War II.
Meanwhile the American and Chinese Communist ambassadors met in the third session of their Warsaw talks with a growing feeling of inability to solve the Formosa crisis.
The meetings resumed at 7 a.m. after a weekend delay to presumably let the Chinese consult the Peiping government.
In Taipei, the Nationalist Naval Commander Liang Shau Chao reported that the Communists were attempting to move some of their larger ships into the Formosa Strait, where the United States 7th Fleet is on patrol.
And in New York, the question of admitting Red China to the United Nations arose again today in the General Assembly. Another rebuff was expected.
The delay on the Warsaw talks climaxed a week of Communist Bloc comments, including the Polish government, supporting Red China's claim to Quemoy, Matsu and Formosa.
All indications were the United States would take the Formosa issue before the United Nations if the Warsaw talks failed. The sessions opened Sept. 14 with both sides optimistic. Hard-toned reactions from the Soviets brought the gloomy mood today.
The Nationalist Naval Commander, Liang Shau Chao, said that none of the larger Red ships had been sighted in the Formosa Straits. He said they were trying to get through, however.
White Shirts Boost Spirit
But Seating Remains A Problem for Students
The white shirt seating plan initiated at Saturday's KU-TCU football game helped boost school spirit, but is no solution to a seating problem, is the opinion of many students interviewed today.
Some endorsed the esthetic effect, others disliked being told what to do.
"I hate regimentation and this is regimentation," said Bob Walters, Lawrence junior. "We're asked to do something in addition to paying our activity fees to good seats."
Others had this to say:
Dusty Barr, Kansas City senior "I don't believe white shirts help at all. You still have the same seating problem. I think they should seat according to I.D.'s, the way it is done in Missouri."
Dave Priboth, Wichita sophomore "I think basically it is a good idea but it has to be run efficiently."
Kathy Lentz, Atchison junior; "I think it is a good idea. It definitely looks better from the other side. I think it will certainly add to school spirit but it should be enforced more efficiently.
Louise Tomlinson, Yuma, Ariz.
junior; "I think that it definitely orbits out spirit and cooperation among the students. The idea could be expanded by enlarging the white shirt section. I don't feel however
that the idea can be forced upon the students."
Bill Harper, Topeka junior: "The program is a tremendous asset to KU school spirit. Although somewhat forced, it serves the purpose most adequately. Possibly in the future it will become a natural function for the school."
Kenneth Barnes, Gary, Ind., junior; "I thought it was very successful; in fact it seemed there were more students in the Red Pepper section than were really needed to carry out the design."
Janet Williams, Wichita junior: "I think it's a good idea if it worked, but the people didn't seem to sit where they were supposed to and it didn't give the anticipated effect. I think more student cooperation is necessary to make the plan effective."
Gary Shafner, Ottawa senior:
"As far as improving the appearance of the student body it does help but I don't see that it helps school spirit or the football team as was evidenced by the game. It gives a better impression to visiting school and cheerleaders."
2,500 Parents Expected For CU Game Oct.4
Parents of new KU students will be given special invitations to visit the campus on that day, to see the facilities of the University, to meet and visit with faculty members and administrative officials, and to visit the various places of interest on the campus.
The seventh annual Parents Day for the parents of new students at the University will be held October 4. About 2,500 parents are expected to attend the KU-Colorado football game.
The visiting parents will have the opportunity to eat lunch with their children at the dormitories, organized houses or Kansas Union Cafeteria. By purchasing game tickets at the special price of $2.25 each, parents may sit with their sons and daughters in the student section of Memorial Stadium for the KU-Colorado game.
These special tickets will be sold
at these locations on the campus on Parents Day: Kansas Union; the Museum of Art; the Information Booth; Strong Hall; Corbin-North Hall; Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall; Carruth-O'Leary Hall; and at the east side of Memorial Stadium.
These tables will close at noon except those at the Union and Stadium, which will stay open until game time.
Before the game a welcome will be extended by Chancellor Murphy. The KU band will also recognize the parents at half time ceremonies. Chairman of 1958 Parents Day activities is L. Martin Jones, asst. professor of business administration. Assistant chairman is Donald W. Henry, asst. professor of physical education.
Appointments Give Relief To Growing Duties of Deans
Three appointments that will provide relief for the growing administrative load of the deans of the University of Kansas School of Business and School of Education were announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy. All three are effective immediately.
Wiley S. Mitchell, associate professor of business administration, will be associate dean of the School of Business. He will continue the teaching of accounting while assisting Dean James R. Surface.
Dr. Karl D. Edwards, associate professor of education, now becomes director of student teaching and secondary education and assistant to the dean.
