drive for funds to aid the Hungarian rebel movement.
Bill Easton May Leave KU For Position At Indiana
Track coach M. E. (Bill) Easton has announced that he is considering leaving KU to take the track coaching job at his alma mater, Indiana University.
Easton said, "Indiana has made an attractive offer and I can't afford to ignore it or refuse to discuss it.

Easton came to KU in 1947 from Drake University where he was track coach and director of the Drake relays. In his ten years at KU he has built a track team that has won 10 consecutive conference cross-country titles, six indoor track championships, five outdoor titles, one NCAA cross-country crown and two runnerup titles, and a second and third place in the NCAA track and field meet.
Easton has long been regarded as one of the best track coaches in the nation and one of the outstanding ones in the world.

Ex-Student Gets 10-Year Term
Byron Eugene Byerley, 19, of Centerville, a former KU freshman, Friday was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Judge Arthur J. Mellott in the United States District Court in Kansas City, Kan.
Bayerley enrolled at KU in February, 1955. He robbed the Centerville State Bank, April 19, 1955, and obtained $368. Bayerley withdrew from the University in April, the registrar's office said he is still under disciplinary "hold" by the dean of men.
Dr. Weinberg will speak on "Changing Psychologies and the Art of Poetry." He will explain how changing ideas and passions lead to new and different kinds of poetry, and will give examples. He will be introduced by J. Neale Carman, professor of Romance Languages.
Byerley pleaded guilty to a robbery charge that could have led to a 25-year term. A kidnapping charge in connection with the robbery was dropped.
Shortly after the robbery, Byerley admitted he had run up about $300 in fraternity and laundry bills. He said he "wanted to have dates and money like other boys."
Judge Mellott said several psychiatrists agreed Byerley has a tendency toward schizophrenia. Byerley has been treated by psychiatrists at the United States Medical Center Springfield, Mo.
Sentenced under the Youth Authority act, Judge Mellott said the 10-year term was for treatment and supervision. Judge Mellott said it was the desire of the court that Byerley get the most benefit from expert help that would be available to him.

Calling Prof. Taylor the outstanding student of historical bibliography in the United States, Robert Vosper, director of libraries, said his books on renaissance bibliography, on anonymous and pseudonymous works, and on the history of bibliographies of bibliopaphy are major scholarly works.
The University Teaches Driving, Too
At least 125 people a year prefer riding to walking—that's how many enroll in the University Extension's Driver Education course, now being offered for the ninth year. It is open to students, faculty, KU employees, and the public.
After successful completion of the non-credit course, a student may obtain a driver's license without an additional examination.
Car and textbooks are furnished by University Extension. Each student is expected to study the textbook material although there are no classroom periods. Behind-the-wheel lessons are arranged by appointment.
Each 50-minute lesson costs $2.50. The student and instructor decide on the number of lessons needed.
Taught By 2 Seniors
Taught By 2 seniors The course is taught by James Swenson, Lawrence, and Maurice Colvin, Kansas City, Kan., seniors, who have been specially trained to teach.
The purpose of the course is not to make the pupil an expert driver, said Curt Harris, drive education supervisor. It is to expose him to the responsibility of driving a car.
"Driving is not an inherent right,"
Mr. Harris said, "it-is a privilege. In order to have that privilege, a man should be a competent driver."
"Parallel parking is hardest to learn." Mr. Harris said. "Quite a bit of the difficulty is mental. If we teach proper clutch control, pupils learn to know when the car is barely in motion. You have to be able to do that when you park a car."
Students learn mechanical skills like operating gears, clutch and steering wheel. Starting and stopping, parking, driving on the highway and in downtown traffic are taught, as well as driving laws and road courtesy.
Dr. Weinberg gave two talks this morning. He spoke on "Literary History and its Relation to Literary Criticism" before the class in History of Modern French Literature, taught by Miss Mattie Crumline, assistant professor of Romance languages, and on "Italian Renaissance Criticism" before the Age of the Renaissance class taught by William Gilbert, assistant professor of history.
