Princeton Prof To Give Third Geophysical Talk
What is life, how did it begin and what distinguishes the living from the non-living?
These questions and others will be answered at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Bailey Auditorium by Harold F. Blum, professor of biology at Princeton University. Prof. Blum is giving the third International Geophysical Year lecture. He is the senior scientist with the National Institute of Health.
Prof. Blum will talk about the fundamental aspects of living systems which distinguish them from non-living systems.
He will discuss how living matter has learned the trick of duplicating its molecules in such a pattern that living forms resemble their parents. Non-living forms cannot duplicate their molecules and therefore do not resemble a parent.
The International Geophysical Year will be conducted mainly as a research of the earth sciences and their connection with man's environment.
Since so much of this environment is of a living nature, and since we are on a small planet in a small solar system with physical and chemical forces constantly acting upon us, biologists are greatly concerned with man's environment.
How these facts will be studied during the IGY will be explained by Prof. Blum.

Beginning with the spring semester, students enrolled as engineering physicists will be required to take two physics courses which will be problems using theories alreadylearned in other classes.
Physics Courses To Be Added
The new courses will not be required of students already enrolled as engineering physicists, but will apply to those enrolling in the spring semester of 1957, according to Arnold A. Strassenburg, assistant professor of physics.
A recent change in the general physics program was also explained by Mr. Strassenburg. Previously, only one general physics course was offered and it was required for all students in the physical and biological sciences, and in engineering or geology.
The present program includes two general physics courses, one for engineering students and the other for students in the geological or biological sciences, Mr. Strassenburg said.
Under the previous system students in the course met three hours a week. The present courses call for four hours a week. Calculus must be taken along with the engineering course, but is not required for the other course.

Praise To Nieder, Oerter
The following is a quote given the Daily Kansan by Kansas track coach Bill Easton on the recent performances of Al Oerter and Bill Nieder in the Olympic games in Melbourne, Australia.
"No coach could be prouder of the great performance of his men than I am of both Al Oerter and Bill Nieder. Al's record-breaking performance in the Olympic discus highlights my coaching career with a championship for my men. It is phenomenal, for the world championship reflects the many hours of hard work and the combination of a dream in the heart of every American track and field athlete. Al has the potential to go on to even greater success with the discus. He will wear his Olympic lauds with great humility and credit to himself, the team and the University of Kansas."
"Our Jayhawk track and field men are proud to have been associated with these two young men who have so ably represented the University of Kansas, the state of Kansas, and Lawrence in the Melbourne games. May their success mark the way for the many to follow. Our salute and thanks for a terrific performance."
"Bill Nieder's Olympic silver medal performance in the 16-pound shot completes a program started three years ago, and no boy could be more worthy of this great success. Only a man with an iron determination and a desire to win could or would have stuck it out when, time and time again, fate seemed to spell certain defeat. This boy's great will to win always kept him fighting and this great moment on the victory stand more than equals his many hours of hard work."
Quote By Wilt In Magazine Brings Protest
By DALE MORSCH
(Telegraph Editor of The
Daily Kansan)
Kansas' 7-foot Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain said "no comment" today to the Daily Kansan on Wilbur N. Stalcup's demand for a retraction of a statement which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post.
Staleup Asks For Retraction
The magazine article by Jimmy Breslin quoted Chamberlain as saying that Stalcup Missouri's head basketball coach, had attempted to intercept him on a trip to Kansas and coax him to attend the University of Missouri.
Startup Ask for Referrer
The United Press reported today that Stalcup said the remark "just isn't true . . . Unless he makes a proper disavowal of this outlandish statement and unless the Post retracts it with the same sort of display that it made the charges, I shall feel compelled to seek redress in the courts."
Chamberlain said that he had not even read the article about Stalcup in the Lawrence Journal-World Wednesday, and said he would not comment on the charge.
Asked if it was a Missouri alumnus who approached him instead of Stalcup, Chamberlain said "Yes, I guess that was it."
Dick Harp, KU's head basketball coach, told the Lawrence Journal-World Wednesday that "Wilton denies flatly that he made to Breslin the statement about Sparky Stalcup that was quoted in the Post. He says he never talked to Stalcup at the airport and that he never told Breslin he did."
Chamberlain told Harp that Bresli misquoted him several other times in the article.
The Post's Statement
It read: "The first time I went to Kansas, the Missouri Coach (Wilbur Stalcup) met me at the airport—he was kind of cutting in—and asked me if I wanted to be the first Negro to play at his school. I told him no. Same as I told Oklahoma A & M And I crossed off a lot of other schools because they never had gone in for colored athletes."
The statement to which Stalcup objected was attributed to Chamberlain in the story written by Jimmy Breslin.
Don Pierce, KU sports publicity director, who met Breslin when he was writing the story on Chamberlain, said, "I know the statement in the Post is untrue—Wilt was misquoted.
"I do know that Wilt talked with a Missouri alumnus," he said, "but I'm sure he didn't know the alumnus at the time and I don't think he does now. I don't think Harp knows, either."
Phog Enters Fray
Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen today said that whoever supports Breslin "will be a sad sister."
"Both Hank Iba Oklahoma A&M coach and Sparky have been done severe harm by the story." Dr. Allen said. "I know that neither of them had anything to do with it—it was an alumnus at Missouri who approached Wilt at the Kansas City airport."
Dr. Allen said that the Missouri alumnus was at the airport when Chamberlain's plane came in on his first visit to KU.
He said that one of the KU representatives "kidded" the Missouri alumnus by telling him that "we have one of the best 245-pound foot-
