Foreigners See Truman, Car Plant, And Memorial
HST IN RARE FORM—Foreign students made it a point in Kansas City to visit with former President Harry S. Truman in his office. From left are: Mr. Truman, and behind him, Johan Ek, Savsjo, Sweden; Miss Helga Seidler, Vienna, Austria; Miss Lilli Frei, Zurich, Switzerland; Horst Helle, Hamburg, Germany, and an unidentified student. Standing besides Mr. Truman are Mrs. Josefa Estrada, Malaybalay, Bukidnon, Philippines; Miss Meena Tyagarajan, Madras, India, and Miss Hee Chung, Seoul, Korea.
Former President Harry S. Truman expressed a desire to continue meeting with KU foreign students when they met him in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday on the annual University field trip for foreign students.
One hundred foreign students from 40 countries made the trip. William R. Butler, assistant to the dean of men, said this was the largest number ever to go on the trip.
This was the third time that students have met with Mr. Truman on the trip. He shook hands with each student, and asked his name and home country.
Mr. Truman Questioned
Students asked Mr. Truman questions that ranged from American politics to affairs concerning their own countries.
Wednesday, March 27, 1957
"He was very congenial," said Hiroshi Shionozaki, graduate student from Tokyo, Japan. "He looked younger than he actually is. To me Mr. Truman looked more like a U. S. senator than a former president. He is easier to approach than I would expect a former president to be."
Visited B-O-P Plant
The trip began with a visit to the Buick-Oldsmobile-Pontiac plant where the students watched car assembly.
After the visit with Mr. Truman, the students visited the World War I Memorial. Many
Judges were Dr. Alan J. Pickering, assistant director of Westminster Foundation; Dr. Richard L. Schiefelbusch, associate professor of speech, and Victor Hyden, instructor of journalism and speech.

ASC Ruling Will Enforce No Seat Saving
The All Student Council constitution was altered slightly Tuesday night when the ASC passed an amendment to bill No. 16 concerning seat saving at football games.
The amendment will enforce the stand taken by the student body in a referendum vote on Dec. 12 which decided there would be no seat saving in Memorial Stadium.
Two new members were sworn in. Loretta Jones, Arrington sophomore, replaced Judy Stone, Cedar-Vale sophomore, as representative from district No. 2 and Pierre Bonnavaud, French graduate student replaced Heitor Souza, Brazilian graduate student, as foreign student representative.
President Jim Schultz, Salina junior, reminded members that the National Student Assn. regional conference will be held April 12 and 13 at the Student Union. About 12 schools will be represented from the Kansas-Missouri region.

'Sports Around The World' Relays Theme
"Sports Around the World" is the theme of this year's KU Relays parade. Deadline for organized house entries is Friday, said Jay Ochs, Wichita senior and co-chairman of the parade committee.
To help interpret themes and give technical advice on sports of other countries, the International Club will act as adviser for the parade.
Should Notify President
Any organization desiring help
with a theme should contact Rehim
Ojikutu, president of the club.
"Late entries for the parade are being discouraged because the committee is anxious to make arrangements for trucks and other details." Ochs said. However, if an organization is late in getting its entry in, it will not be disqualified."
The parade is being expanded this year in keeping with the overall trend of the Relays. For the first time, faculty and businessmen are doing a large share of the work as the University seeks to build the Relays into the biggest of its kind in the United States.
For the first time, the Relays will select two queens. One will represent the Big Seven schools and the other KU. All four attendants, two for each queen, will be from KU. The queens and their attendants will ride in the parade.
All ROTC units on the campus will have a representative unit in the parade. An expected 30 high school bands will add length and noise to the parade.
Partly cloudy this afternoon, tonight and Thursday. Chance of a few light showers southeast portion this afternoon or this evening. Little change in temperature except warmer southeast this afternoon. Low tonight 25 northwest to 35 southeast. High Thompson 50-55.

Illness Prevents Lecture
Two lectures scheduled for 3 and 5 p.m. today in Flint Hall auditorium by Emil Frei of St. Louis, Mo., have been canceled. The speaker is ill.
The immediate need in the Middle East is to distract fear and mistrust between Israel and Arab countries, Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, said in a discussion Tuesday of the Eisenhower Doctrine at a Collegiate Council of the United Nations meeting.
Mid-East Fear, Mistrust Must Go
"This alone would not bring a complete solution, I agree," Prof. Ketzel said, "but it certainly is essential to the ultimate solution in the Middle East problem."
Richard I. Stephenson, Augusta junior, opposed the doctrine and Ferris R. Kimball, Kansas City, Kan, senior, talked on favorable points.
Prof. Ketzel was one of four speakers. H. A. Ireland, professor of geology, presented background information on the Middle East.
Prof. Ireland said that because the U. S. did not do anything for the Arab states to regain the land lost to Israel, the Arab countries are now turning to Russia for help; now, the Eisenhower Doctrine is necessary.
Kimball said he thought the Eisenhower Doctrine is a U.S. expression of willingness to step into affairs of the Middle East, which does away with "wait and see" attitude of the U.S. government.
Stephenson described the Doctrine as "irrelevant, dangerous, and contradictory," because the President has the power to do anything he considers pertinent for defense of the U. S. as Commander in Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force."

'Informed People Backbone Of Democracy'
Importance of the field of communications in a democracy was stressed by Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, at the publications banquet of East High School, Kansas City, Mo., in the Student Union Tuesday night. About 80 students and guests attended.
"An informed people is the backbone of a democracy." Prof. Telfel said. "And for information the people must rely on the press, radio, television and other media of communications."
"That is why a sound training in communications is of vital importance. And you can't get a better training anywhere in the nation than here at the University, in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information."
The high school students toured the Journalism School and other
points of interest on the campus. They were accompanied by William K. Prewitt and Mrs. Gladys Papas, publications advisers. Guests at the banquet included Maurice Lungren, assistant director of the William Allen White Foundation.
