Page 6 University Daily Kansan Monday, Noy. 12, 1956 Plenty Of Money, Nothing To Buy In Russia'-Anderson Sam F. Anderson, instructor of German, was one of few persons allowed to travel in Russia alone and his observations and impressions of Russian culture; ranging from the waiters who wouldn't wait to cars painted with house paint, were the basis of a talk Sunday at the Faculty Club. "Waiters would hide behind pillars to keep from having to serve you. They didn't get tipped so there was little profit in it for them. I had to either beat on the table or talk to the head-waiter to get service." Most of the Russians he saw used coupons in place of money. "Money is one of the least respected things in Russia. There's enough of it, but there's nothing to buy with it. About the only way to have a big time is to buy an extra good meal." No Shiny Cars Russian autos, weren't shiny like American ones. "Most cars had on a few coats of house paint to keep them from rusting, although there were some new and shiny cars. Most of the autos I saw were about 10 years old. But the car was not the chief source of transportation, especially outside the cities. There the horse-drawn cart or wagon was the common carrier. Poer Communications "The horses looked well-fed—better fed than the people it seemed. There's a food shortage in Russia now." Poor Communications Communication, like transportation is not very good, Mr. Anderson said. "Americans should remember that the average Russian doesn't hear about news like recent events in Hungary, as quickly as does the West. There's a blocking of news between communities and events. News of the Hungarian revolution and the Stalin debunking campaign, take a long time to get all around the country." Speaking to the "man in the street," Mr. Anderson, who is fluent in Russian, found that Russians have a "nineteen thirtyish" conception of the United States during depression years. They also think the United States has a huge unemployment situation, he said. Their material culture was also of the '30s.

ANDERSON "In Moscow there are blocks of log houses, and architecture in Russia is still heavy, rather than functional. There are exceptions to this, but they're just exceptions." A teacher whose apartment he visited shared kitchen and bath facilities with 25 others. The styles in Russia are much unlike those here, he said. Not Afraid Of Regime "Nobody wears a necktie — not even to the opera, and there were many heards." Although many Americans see the Russian criling before the regime. Mr. Anderson said they often commit crimes for which we would be thrown in jail. "I saw a person writing his name on a column below a sign forbidding the writing of names on the column. A policeman approached him and asked him to please not do it." Vets Honored At Program Peace is an attitude in the hearts of the men and women of our nation and is not a result of our military might, John H. Patton, professor of religion, said Friday morning in an address at a Veterans Day program at the Memorial Campanile. Prof. Patton, a major in the Air Force Reserve, spoke to about 1,000 students and ROTC personnel attending the third annual Veterans Day program, sponsored by the University Veterans Organization. Francis B. Sellers, Lawrence graduate student and president of the UVO placed a wreath at the base of the Campanile followed by the playing of the taps-and an echo of the taps by several ROTC students. A recital by Ronald M. Barnes. University carillonneur, concluded the program. Chancellor Franklin D.

Robert Branner, assistant professor of art history, will speak on early New England art at the art forum series at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Trophy Room of the Student Union The program is entitled "The Prosperous Filgrims." Art Forum Is Tuesday Petitions Uphold Hungary Cause "The spirit of youth inevitably will help Hungary get her freedom," Anna Kethly, cabinet member of the Hungarian Imre Nagy government, said in a plea last week to the United ations when she asked for the United States' moral support for the freedom movement in Hungary. Five hundred gallons should be the minimum capacity of new septic tank installations for farm homes. In response to Miss Kethly's plea, a petition, proposed by the KU-Y, has been circulated among KU students pledging their support to the free Hungarian cause. The petition, distributed in all organized houses and offices on the campus, will be sent to the United Nations. The petition reads: "We the undersigned students, faculty and staff of the University of Kansas, realizing there are colleges, in Hungary engaged in a struggle for freedom against almost insuperable odds, pray that the eventual fruits of this struggle will be freedom that will long endure. We pledge our deepest moral and spiritual support in this conflict which symbolizes man's never ending search for equality, justice and human dignity. "We, along with the other free peoples of the world, look to the United Nations to take prompt and effective action to halt the aggression which is claiming the lives of so many of the Hungarian people. "We look forward to the day when the universities of Hungary will regain their rightful place among the free institutions of the world. Until that day, may no act ever sever the bonds of solidarity which exists between the students of the United States and the students of Hungary." Four Scholars Given Luncheon A luncheon for four Corn Products Refining Co. scholars and two representatives from the company's Chicago office conducting job interviews on the campus was held Thursday at the Faculty Club.
