CLASSY CLASSROOM—Members of the Roger Williams Fellowship sit in a modern mirrored classroom at Alabama State College in Montgomery while listening to Dr. L. D. Reddick, professor of history at ASC, discuss Mont-
gomery's integration progress. Reflections as shown in the mirror are left to right: Dee Ihdee, Betty Lowell, Rev. Ernst Klein, Jean Jackson, Dorothy Nitcher, and Nancy Holt.
12 See Segregation Firsthand
Spring vacation was turned into a busman's holiday by 10 University students and 2 faculty members who made a 2,750-mile trip into the Deep South to study segregation.
They visited with students, faculty, and administrators of five Negro colleges and universities in addition to holding interviews with ministers, journalists, white educators, and the "man on the street" in the 10 states they passed through on the crowded 9-day schedule.
"Our purpose was to gain a firsthand impression of the major dilemma facing our country—the segregation problem—in its social and historical context," the Rev. Ernst Klein, University pastor for Baptist students, said.
Mr. Klein, who organized the trip and directed the students in their study, said the group got three general impressions.
1. The Southern Negro is speaking out. "The spontaneous and widely separated demonstrations such as the Montgomery bus boycott indicate that the traditional subordination of the race is no longer acceptable," Mr. Klein said.
2. "Where there is violence such as we found at Koinonia, Ga, an interracial community, it is probably the work of the "red-necks" or lower-class whites, but it is often condoned and encouraged by public officials and leading citizens. Many middle-class whites are opposed to
violence and suppression but are afraid to speak out."
3. There are many hopeful signs.
"Educators are predicting some integration even in the Deep South in five to ten years," Mr. Klein added.
Students making the trip were Don Ide, Hope junior; Calvin Cormack. Abilene sophomore; Betty Lowell, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Earl Ehlen, Lenexa junior; Jean Jackson, Enterprise junior; Nancy Holt, Union-town freshman; Dorothy Nitcher, Princeton sophomore; Larry Shrout, Blue Springs, Mo. senior; Mary Antenen, Bazine sophomore, and Mary Beth Spena, Lecompton junior. Jimmy Bedford, instructor of journalism, also made the trip.
20 $200 Scholarships Is Aim Of Fund Drive
The Lawrence Greater University Fund drive is now in its third day. Maurice Barker, secretary of the Fund, said the group hopes to complete the drive by April 20. The goal is $4,000,20 $200 scholarships.
The drive is being conducted primarily in the Lawrence business area and among the 2,305 alumni in the city. Personal calls will be made. Drive Supplements General Funds
The purpose of the drive is to supplement the funds provided from the Kansas Legislature for general University use.
This is the second annual Lawrence drive. Last year the money from the drive went into the general University fund, but it was thought that the main need of the University now is for more scholarship money.
The Lawrence campaign is one of approximately 25 to 30 such drives being carried on throughout the

Student Teachers Meet Wednesday
Students in elementary education who plan to do student teaching during the 1957-58 term may apply for the location and time they want to teach at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Bailey Auditorium.
state, according to Mr. Barker.
While most of the drives are carried on in Kansas, several towns in Oklahoma and Missouri also sponsor annual drives for the KU Greater University Fund. About 16 other communities in the country outside these two states also conduct fund raising drives for the University.
The purpose of student teaching and information about the program will be discussed.
The drive began Friday at a luncheon meeting. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy was the main speaker. Dr. Murphy gave three major reasons why he thinks the citizens of Lawrence should have a special interest in the growth of KU.
1. The pride and prestige which most Lawrence residents gain with any success of the University.
2. The economic importance of KU to Lawrence with approximately 8,500 students living in Lawrence and the enrollment expected to reach 12,000 to 15,000 in the next few years.
3. The many opportunities to take part in recreational and cultural events which the University bring: to Lawrence.
Wilson Elected To School Board
"Just as we at the University are happy and pleased to be living in a city like Lawrence, it seems to me that the people of Lawrence should be pleased to have the University located in Lawrence and should be interested in the future success of the University." Dr. Murphy said.

J. L. Wilson, director of dormitories was one of three elected to the Lawrence School Board in Tuesday's city election.
In an election in which 3.664 votes were cast, Mr. Wilson received 2,378 votes.
Lawrence city officials said the 3,664 total was nearly 700 higher than in the primary and was about average for a Lawrence general election.

Faculty Granted 5 Per Cent Raise
University officials were greatly relieved Friday as the bill providing an additional five per cent raise for faculty of the five state colleges became law.
Revue Sold Out For Saturday
"Rock Chalk Revue tickets for Saturday's performance are sold out." Wallace Richardson, Park Ridge, Ill., junior and revue publicity chairman, said today.
He said that there are still plenty of good seats for Friday night's show.
Instructor Gets Yale Fellowship
John G. Gagliardo, assistant instructor of Western Civilization has been appointed to a Chace Fellowship in history at Yale University for the 1957-58 school year.
Mr. Gagliardo will receive his M.A. in German history this spring, and will continue his study for a Ph.D. degree at Yale. He received his A.B. degree from KU in 1954, was a Summerfield scholar and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1954-55 he studied in Marburg, Germany, on a Fulbright scholarship.
The award will pay all of his fees and includes a cash payment of $1,071. The fellowship is worth more than $2,000 for the year. The award is renewable after the first year and Mr. Gagliardo hopes to make continued progress toward the FhD. degree.
He is the son of Mrs. Domenicus Gagliardo and the late Dr. Gagliardo who taught economics at KU for 32 years before his death in 1955.
Book Contest Finalists Chosen
Finalists in the Taylor student book collection contest are Bryan R Burrage, Hillside, N. J., freshman, herpetology and paleontology; Gilbert Cuthbertson. Leavenworth sophomore, the Civil War; Marilyn Gridley, Lenora sophomore, Oriental culture, and J. Knox Jones, Lawrence graduate, taxonomy and the distribution of North American mammals.
The winners will be announced May 10 and the book collections displayed in the Student Union First prize is $75, second prize $25
Robert L. Quinsey said 20 collections were entered in the contest, which was open to all graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in the University .
After almost two months of hagging over the outcome of the proposal, the University is now able to meet the problem of losing top notch staff members to higher paying universities and industry.
"The raise will have a very profound effect upon those staff members considering higher paying offers, and the staff as a whole, for two reasons," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said Sunday.
Salaries Now Competitive
"It will be a monetary factor; that is, it will increase salary scale into a more competitive position, and it will be a morale factor for members of the faculty; that is, it shows everyone the interest on the part of the people of this state in the welfare of the University," he said.
The first five per cent raise, included in Governor George Docking's original budget request in December, will be a raise to the entire University faculty, according to Dr. Murphy.
The additional five per ceat merit raise, which was requested by the Board of Regents Feb. 15, is to go to the upper level of faculty and administrative staff.
When the request for the additional five per cent raise was made, Dr. Murphy told the Daily Kansan, "Finding and keeping top notch faculty members is a grim business these days. With all the raids going on on our campus and other surrounding schools, I believe this is the worst period we have faced in a long time."
No Limit Now
There is no limit to the amount of raise for individual faculty members.
Raises are recommended by the department heads to the budget committee, headed by George B. Smith, dean of the University. The recommendations are then sent to Dr. Murphy for approval.
The University will receive $240,-000 from the bill out of a total of $870,000 voted for the additional five per cent raise for faculty of Kansas State, Emporia State, Pittsburg State, Fort Hays State and KU.
Election Time Near For ASC
Politics are in the air as ASC election time draws near again.
The primary election for ASC members and class officers will be held April 24. The general election will be held May 1.
Whether both representatives and senators will be elected to the ASC will depend upon the outcome of the referendum vote on April 17 on an ASC constitution revision.
A revision committee is working on a more flexible ASC committee system and a unicameral, or one house legislature.
The method of electing the ASC president will also be revised. The current duties of the ASC president will be changed and two separate offices will be created.
Engineers' Exposition Moves Ahead
The traditional archway over the double doors of Marvin Hall will greet thousands of visitors touring the 37th annual Engineering Exposition, "Ingenuity in Engineering," Friday and Saturday, April 19 and 20.
The exposition chairman is Kenneth Vaughn, Yates Center senior, and William E. Benson, Gorham junior, is publicity chairman.
