Polish Border Divides 2 Worlds Historian Says
The eastern boundary of Poland is not only the border of a country, but the border between two civilizations and two worlds. Gotthild Rhode, professor of East European history at Gutenberg University, told an audience of about 25 Thursday.
The eastern boundary of Poland began to be an area of division between East and West in the 13th century, Prof. Rhode said.
"In the 15th and 16th centuries Poland was a mixture of two religions, Roman Catholic and Orthodox; two civilizations, Byzantine and Western, and many nationalities." Prof. Rhode said.
Mission To Fight
In the 17th century Poland began to feel that she had a mission to fight against the eastern world in the name of Christianity, e said.
"Although the role of Poland seems to have come to an end with the partitioning in the 18th century, the idea of the mission stayed on in the minds of the people," Dr. Rhode said. "This feeling has played a large part in the recent attempts of te Polish peole to gain greater independence."
Books On Europe
Dr. Rhode has written several books and articles on East Europe and the religious wars in Europe. Among them are "The Eastern Frontier of Poland," "History of the City of Posen," "The Eastern Territories of the German Reich," and "Peoples on the Move: Population Changes in East Germany and Europe."

MALT MARCH—Two West Point cadets took a break from the Heart of America Debate Conference Thursday and headed for the nearest malt shop after competing in the first preliminary rounds of the conference. They are Cadets Joe Luman, Hyndman Pa. (left), and George Walker, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Debate Tourney Into Final Rounds Saturday
The preliminary rounds of the Heart of America debate tournament will be completed today and the results announced.
The 16 teams with the best records in the first elimination will compete in the final rounds Saturday. Awards will be presented after the debates.
At a banquet and forum Thursday debaters and coaches heard three authorities appraise and criticize arguments used in the four rounds of debate. The debate question is "Resolved: That the United States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign countries."
Three Authorities
The authorities are Frank N. Trager, professor of governmental research in charge of the Southeast Asia program in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, New York University; Clifford R. Hope, former congressman from the Kansas 5th District and member of the Committee on Postwar Economic Policy and Planning, and Frederick J. O. Blachly, public information officer of the Internation Cooperation Administration.
Mr. Trager suggested that in future debates key terms like
"economic aid" he defined for a common understanding of the question.
Mr. Hope said:
"Many of the debaters depended too much on quotations from the press and from individuals who had reached certain conclusions. It would have been much better if they had brought out the facts on which these conclusions were based."
"Work. Research Amazing"
Mr. Blachly attempted to clarify several foggy points made by debaters, and said that 'the work, research, ingenuity—especially the ingenuity—that must have gone into the preparation and presentation of the cases is simply amazing."
The question that came closest to stumping the experts was what evidence or arguments the affirmative could use for a better case on the somewhat one-sided debate question.

(Daily Kenan Sport Edition)
The Jay Watchers are still $600 short of their goal to meet expenses in sponsoring the telecast of the KU-SMU basketball game tonight, Bob Reck, Wichita senior, said Thursday.
Reck, and Bryce Cooke, Overland Park senior, are co-chairmen of the corporation which grew out of an idea given Reck by Lawrence business men.
They thought it would be a fine idea to have KU basketball games televised and promised support if Reck would take charge of the oneration.
Good Start
A casual conversation with Cooke, who immediately became interested in the proposition, set up the idea of a corporation to handle the job.
The group got off to a flying start with a contribution at the Oklahoma A&M game but soon ran into unexpected difficulties. The K-State game they originally had planned to broadcast was canceled when no advertisers acceptable to the schools could be found to co-sponsor the game.
After this disappointment, the group set their sights on televising the Colorado game at Boulder. Just when it looked as if they might get the job done, they discovered a new telephone line would have to be sturring, raising the cost beyond anything the Jaywatcher could afford.
Reck, also specializing in sales work, said, "I've learned a lot from this. The guys on the teams have done their job this year and it gives me a great pleasure to back the team."
Arthur C. (Dutch) Lonborg, KU athletic director, Dick Harp, basketball coach, and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Assn. and Mrs. Ellsworth, and other KU representatives will be guests at a basketball luncheon-rally in Dallas Saturday before the KU-Southern Methodist University game.
'Strenuous Project'
Members of the basketball team may be able to attend the luncheon."
Final arrangements for telecasting the SMU game were not made until Tuesday and the group still needs money.
"It has ben a very strenuous but worthwhile project," Cooke said. "It has been wonderful experience and will be good background for my career in sales work."
Luncheon-Rally Set For Dallas
The luncheon will be sponsored by the Dallas KU Alumni Club.
Few Have Recention Trouble
Few Have Reception Trouble Only a 2 to 3 block area on the east side of the campus has trouble getting the station because of M6 Oread, which cuts off the television waves.
Television reception on Channel 13, WIBW-TV, the station telecasting the game tonight, is good in Lawrence and Kansas City, a local television serviceman said.
However, the reception of most sets in the Lawrence area could be improved if the owners would turn the antenna away from the Kansas City channels, and turn them west toward Topeka.
Weather
Kansas—Fair and warmer this afternoon and tonight. Partly cloudy and warmer Saturday. Low tonight 30 northeast to 40 southwest. High Saturday 60-70.
