FIRST ASC MEETING—Bill Fricke, Jefferson City, Mo., senior, is proposing a new bill in the first ASC meeting of the year. Seated at the
Defense Hurt If Missile Abandoned, Professor Says
table, from left, John Husar, Chicago senior; Pat Little, Wichita senior, and Sharon Dey, Ulysses junior.
Rumors of possible congressional killing of the Navy Vanguard missile program after another failure of the rocket yesterday were met with disproval by aeronautical engineering and physics professors at KU.
The general feeling of the local group was that national defense would suffer from abandonment of the project at so early a stage in its development.
The Vanguard has failed in five of its six launching tries. The last rocket did not leave the ground.
The 72-foot-long rocket has been termed as a "sophisticated" missile which has been aimed at little or no marginal error. It is an entirely new project, while other defense missiles have been partially designed with established parts.
Political Move Indicated
Ammon Andes, professor of aeronautical engineering said, "I feel that any drastic cut-back changes might be a political move for economy. Politics should not interfere with the technical field. If there is no hope for the Vanguard, the qualified experts who have been working with the project should be the ones to decide.
"The Navy missile was rushed into its first launching and is only
6 Citizens Seek To Reopen Schools
LITTLE ROCK - (UPI) - Six white citizens applied for corporation papers today to reopen at least part of Little Rock's four closed public high schools as private, segregated institutions.
The citizens called themselves the "Little Rock Private School Corporation." Their petition did not say whether they propose to open all the schools, but did use the word "schools."
Their petition to Circuit Judge J. Mitchell Cockbill said they propose to establish schools of "the highest educational standards," where students may obtain an education comparable to that in public class "A" schools.
An 1875 state law permits the leasing of unused or closed public schools as private schools.
Attend Harvard Ceremonies

now-getting to the stage where the kinks can be successfully ironed out. It really hasn't had a fair chance at this stage."
"However," he added, "too much emphasis can not be put on one particular phase of the U.S. missile program."
James Tiedemann, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, had strong and rather personal feelings about the rumors. Prof. Tiedemann has worked on both the Navy Vanguard and Army Jupiter C projects.
Vanguard Is Young
"I don't see how the defense program can afford to stop any of the missile projects at this stage of the game," Prof Tiedemann said. "Other missiles may be more successful at the present time, but the Vanguard is still young and has great potential. We can't attend to play games." Daniel Ling, associate professor of physics, said, "It would be extremely unfortunate if the missile program were abandoned. The Vanguard is a more intense vehicle and there is a great deal of virtue in the program. We must develop all phases of the ballistic missile program."
"Although the Vanguard is a more sophisticated missile, I feel that there are other projects under way, especially the Army Jupiter C program, which may be more capable than the Navy rocket and have more all-around potential."
tial. We can't afford to play games."
Edwin Parks, associate professor of aeronautical engineering, takes a slightly different attitude toward the rumors.
ASC Begins Year's Work
"I'm not sure that the Vanguaro should be abandoned, but I do feel that if Congress should see fit to do so there will be other missiles that will make up for the loss," he said.

Baffled Students Troop to Registrar
Most students on the campus—even the freshmen—seem to have found most of their classrooms by now. And some have already shuddered to hear the date for the first hour exam announced.
But others are still confused, as is indicated by the frequent turning of the door knob into the registrar's office.
Since enrollment was concluded Saturday, a stream of "don't-know-what-to-do-next" students have flocked to the registrar's office as well as to the doors of other college deans and advisers.
Why are they confused? "I lost my white assignment card. I don't know where to go." or "I forgot to make a copy of my enrollment schedule. What class do I have next?"
Turn in Cards Late
Turn in Cards Late
Student directory cards, class
cards, car registration cards — all
kinds of cards are turning up. "I
forgot to hand these in when I
enrolled."
Some students were aparently too enthused with the thought of a new semester beginning. They are enrolled in two or even three classes that meet at the same hour on the same day. Others have changed their minds. They want to drop a course.
There are other problems, too. "Where is the registrar's office?" or, for those properly enrolled, "Where is the cigarette machine?"
Too Many Instructions
A cartoon in Monday's Daily Kansas depicted the enrollment department's biggest problem, too many instructions, Mrs. Agnes Barnhill, enrollment assistant, said.
The spreading of instructions is confusing. Schedules of classes for students and mimeographed instructions to advisers carried details on how to get enrolled properly but exceptions seemed to pop up everywhere, she said.
With so much information, it was hard to get the right information to the person that needed it most, she said.
Rumor Adams On Way Out
Students wishing to change their enrollments are the biggest headaches now, Mrs. Barnhill said. Those making the changes are the ones who have the troubles in other
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A White House decision is expected very soon on whether Sherman Adams will resign as President Eisenhower's "Chief of Staff," according to highly-placed Republican sources.
These sources told United Press International the White House has been warned to expect a sharp increase in public criticism of Adams from GOP congressional candidates unless the controversial White House aide steps down soon.
They said the White House is expected to reach a decision shortly—within the next few days.
Adams returned from a fishing holiday to his White House desk Monday amid mounting reports he is on the way out. Many Republicans claim he is a political millstone around the neck of GOP candidates in the congressional campaign These complaints increased after the Maine election in which Gov. Edmund Muskie defeated Sen. Frederick Payne, the Republican incumbent, in the Senatorial race.
Adams has been under fire since congressional investigators disclosed he accepted lavish gifts from Goldfine, a Boston friend, and had made inquiries at federal agencies about matters involving Goldfine's textile firms.
To Meet on Business Bureau
To Meet on Business Bureau There will be a meeting in Strong Auditorium Sept. 24, for all persons interested in using the Business Placement Bureau. The object of the meeting is to outline procedures of using the Business Placement Bureau and to discuss job opportunities.

ways, too, she said, and end up making the lowest grades.
By the time everyone has found his class and finally decided which history course he prefers and the enrollment department can breathe its first sigh of relief, it's time to start over again with another semester.
Business Holds Convocation
The School of Business will hold its annual fall convocation in Strong Auditorium at 4 p.m. today.
Dean James Surface of the School of Business will speak on the role of management in these critical times. He will talk about the need for and role of good, well-trained business men in order to wage economic war with Russia.
Also, Arno F. Knapper, associate professor of business administration and director of the Business Placement Bureau, will speak briefly about that bureau.
Also on the program will be the presentation of the Business School Council. This council, which serves to coordinate the activities of the various business organizations, is made up of a representative from each business club.
The presidents of the various business clubs will explain their programs for the coming year and invite students to join.
All School of Business and prebusiness students are invited.
BAYONNE, N. J. — (UPI) — The oil-slicked waters of Newark Bay early today surrendered the last of three wrecked Jersey Central Railroad passenger coaches and its contents of six more bodies.
More Dead in Train Wreck
Salvage crews immediately began work preparatory to raising one of the ill-fated train's two locomotives which investigators expected would yield instrument records providing more clues to the cause of the tragedy that took an estimated 37 to 40 lives.
At least 10 persons still are known to be missing. A railroad spokesman said calls to his office from relatives indicate that as many as 13 may still be missing.
In addition, about 40 persons were injured late Monday morning when the train rolled non-stop through three signal lights, through a derail switch and off an open drawbridge.
The six bodies recovered with the last coach brought to 27 the number of corpses found so far. Coast Guard cutters searched through the night for two more bodies reported seen floating on the bay.
