Israeli Student Tells Views On Middle East
Editorials in American newspapers indicate U.S. sentiment is gradually turning toward Israel's side in the Middle East crisis, Henry Zvi Luft, Tel Aviv, Israel, graduate student said.
One of the main reasons, Luft said, is a reconsideration of the charge of aggression which the U. S. and other nations directed against Great Britain, France, and Israel at the start of the conflict.
Definition of Aggression
Definition of Aggression The real definition of the term, "aggression," which U.S. newspapers are now using, he said, is "an unprovoked, hostil act." Applied to the Middle East crises, he said, the charge does not make sense.
"The invasion of Egypt by Israeli, British, and French forces in this sense was certainly not aggression." Luft said. "The action was provoked not only by the recent build-up of Egyptian forces in the Sinai Peninsula, but also by constant attacks by Egypt during the past eight years."
Luft said that the West no longer believes that \the Russian weapons delivered to Egypt were to serve the purpose of peace.
HENRY ZVI LUFT
"The quantities and types of weapons that the Soviet Union delivered to Egypt, such as heavy tanks and bombers, are not used for defensive purposes," he said.
Playing To Nasser
"How can it reasonably be believed," Luft asked, "that peace and freedom can be obtained through co-operation with Moscow? That is exactly what Mr. Nasser wants us to believe."
"The assertion that Israel "was just a tool for the colonial powers" is not quite so clear as the assertion—unfortunately true—that Nasser is being used by Russia to gain a strong influence on the Middle East."

Norway Offers Summer Study
How would you like to spend six weeks in Norway? Next summer, that is, as a student.
The University of Oslo has announced its 11th summer session for American students, otherwise known as the American Summer School.
All classes are conducted in English and an American is on the administrative staff. Also, the session is approved by the Veterans Administration for veterans.
The session, to be held from July 6 to August 16, 1957, offers these courses: general survey of Norwegian culture; humanities and social studies; educational system in Norway; graduate courses in Norwegian education; literature and society; physical education in Scandinavia; international relations (from the Norwegian viewpoint); and the industries of Norway for business men and advanced students of International trade.
While there a student can earn six semester-hour credits and chances for travel are good.
Applicants should have completed their freshman year not later than June, 1957. Information including a catalogue of courses and preliminary application material may be obtained from Oslo Summer School Admissions Office, co St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn.
Kent Mueller, Lawrence junior, last summer attended the Oslo session, followed by one year's study at the University of Oslo.
Planning Conference Dec. 12
The third Kansas Conference on Planning, sponsored by the University and Kansas State College, will be held Dec. 12 in Lawrence. Purpose of the conference is to develop cooperation of planning at state, county and city levels and to consider planning problems in transportation, water and recreation.
"it's political implications are all too clear," said Luft.
"The eight years of attacks by Egypt on Israel was "certainly" provocation enough for Israel to attack." Luft said. "The 6,300 forays and 1,125 casualties can not be interpreted as anything but provocation."
Necessary For Peace
Necessary For Peace Luft said he believes Israel will settle for the 1949 armistice line as such a condition is "absolutely necessary for peace." but that Israel will not allow Egyptian troops to occupy the Gaza Strip again.
KU Aquires Prairie Land
Ten acres of unbroken prairie and the remainder of a 150-acre farm in southern Jefferson county have been given to the University, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said.
The prairie acreage joins seven additional prairie acres to the south on the KU Natural History Reservation in northeastern Douglas county.
Acquisition of the farm was made possible by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., of New York City, Chancellor Murphy said.
"Kansans have good reason to be garteful to Mr. Rockefeller for his having made possible the preservation for all time this sample of rapidly vanishing long-grass prairie, both for scientific observation and aesthetic appreciation."
Zoology Project
The area will be managed by the department of zoology and will be available for observational use by all KU departments that can profitably make investigations there, Chancellor Murphy explained. The ten acres of original prairie will be added to the KU Natural History Reservation.
"Fields will be sown to native grass. After grasses are well established, one-fourth of the area will be lightly grazed every summer or every other year.
A second fourth will be mowed every other year in late summer. Another fourth will only be sprayed as often as necessary to hold in check invading woody vegetation with the remaining fourth being burned off every second or third autumn when soil moisture and humidity are high," Henry S. Fitch, superintendent of the Natural History Reservation said.
Changes To Be Studied
Changes that occur through the years will be recorded by careful sampling of measured plots. Ronald L. McGregor, assistant professor of botany, will record the changes in plants.
Differences in the kinds and numbers of plants and animals o the several plots and on the controls after periods of years will show what factors are critical to the existence of the long-grass prairie and how these factors interact, Prof. Fitch continued.
"There is a growing notion among landowners that in man's own best interests much of this upland ground should not have been broken up in the first place." Prof. Fitch added. "We are going to test this idea
Maximum resources for the future might be provided by returning parts of these uplands to as nearly as possible the original prairie conditions. The proposed demonstration certainly will yield essential data on how to return such land to the prairie condition."

"However, 52 per cent of the students who come to the hospital come with bag and baggage, ready to be admitted," Dr. Canuteson said.
"There is another belief that, for one reason or another, students fail to use the hospital services," Dr. Canuteson said. "During the last 28 years, 85 per cent of the students came to the health service at least once a year." He said 47,900 individual clinic calls were made during the last school year.
Answers to criticism of the University Health Service were given by Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the service, and Dr. L. Willard Shankel, health service psychiatrist, at a meeting of Mortar Board, senior women's honorary society, Thursday.
Failure to follow demands of the students for certain treatment brings more criticism. Dr. Canuteson said. He cited the student who wanted a penicillin shot for a common cold.

Dr. Canuteson said some students were critical because, when they used the services, they "immediately were grabbed" by two or three persons who put them in bed.

"We operate on a rational basis," Dr. Canuteson said. "We try to give the individual the type of treatment he should have. There is no specific treatment for colds."
"We're conscious of the fact our department gets criticism," Dr. Can-
Dr. Shankel further explained one shot is not an adequate dosage and will sometimes hide symptoms of a more serious illness, such as pneumonia.

'Criticism Doesn't Bother Us,' Dr. Canuteson Says
A new joint scholarship testing program for the University and Kansas State College has been announced by the two schools.
Candidates for Summerfield, Watkins and Putnam Scholarships will take the tests at the same time and places. Summerfield and Watkins Scholarships are awarded by KU, and Putnam by K-State.
High school students who have had to take two separate tests will now take only one.

uteson said, "but it doesn't bother us too much because I know our facilities at Watkins Hospital are better than most universities."
Psychiatric Service
Psychiatric Service
The hospital offers physical therapy, dietary, laboratory, and psychiatric services. Dr. Shankel said an average of 300 students use the psychiatric service each year.
"Nearly all students use the ser vice voluntarily." Dr. Shankel said
Statewide Activities Meeting
"Everyone should know about another service we are offering-the Salk polio vaccines," Dr. Canuteson said. He urged students to begin the series of vaccine nov so the shots would be complete by the summer polio season.
Statewide Activities Meeting County and regional representatives for Statewide Activities will meet to outline work to be done over Thanksgiving vacation at 4 p.m. today in Room 306 in the Student Union.
