Israeli - Arab Truce Sought
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-(UP)
—The United States asked the United Nations Security Council today to issue an immediate order for a cease-fire in the Israeli-Egyptian fighting and for the withdrawal of Israel's troops to its own borders.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., opening the Council's extraordinary session on the Palestine situation, said each member has a "clear-cut responsibility to take immediate measures to restore peace" in the Middle East.
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold reported to the Council that Maj.-Gen. E. L. M. Burns of Canada, chief of the U. N. truce supervision organization in Palestine, had asked for a cease-fire to be effective at noon today.
Britain and France announced they will send troops into the Suez Canal Zone unless Egypt and Israel quit fighting by 4:30 a. m. Wednesday (10:30 CST tonight).

RAIN WEDNESDAY?—Joyce Elliot, Independence, Mo., sophomore and Bill Kuhike, Denver, Colo., graduate student, rehearse a scene from "The Rainmaker," which opens Wednesday night in Freser Theater.
50 Work Behind Scenes To Stage 'Rainmaker'
If you take 15 gallons of paint, 100 yards of muslin, a pile of lumber, a keg of nails, about 300 man-hours and add several years of technical knowledge, you'll be able to produce a full stage setting for the modern theater.
Almost 50 persons will be required to produce "The Rainmaker" in Fraser Theater at 8 p. m., Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. You won't see them, but they'll be there.
Onlv One Set
Although the University Theatre production has only one set, "it has given us several interesting problems to work out," said Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama and scenic designer for the Theatre.
"The first step in designing a set is to develop a balance between the requirements of the play's text and the requirements of the director. The design of the ground plan and the preliminary sketches are then made.
"In The Rainmaker,' the problem is to show three different scenes in one setting. We have solved this by using a turntable on which the two smaller scenes are played. When the scene changes, the platform is merely turned around, with the actors on it, and the play continues. This is done in full view of the audience. The effect depends upon lighting changes." Prof. Godkey said.
The turntable was built in 30 hours
by Kenneth Baker, Trenton, N.J., sophomore and stage manager, and T. Y. Hill, Dallas, Tex., graduate student. It is 12 feet in diameter and weighs several hundred pounds.
Since some of the "flats" require six or seven coats of paint, all the members of the stagecraft class have been busy since school began. The heads of the makeup, property, sound, costume and lighting departments are also chosen from the class. Student production chiefs are Vera Stough, Lawrence junior, makeup; Thomas Engel, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, properties, and William Henry, Parkville, Mo., sophomore, publicity.
For the proper blending of color between paints and lights, Mr. Godfrey has worked with Arthur Kean, instructor of speech and drama and lighting designer. Mr. Kean also coordinates the sound effects which include a climatic thunder storm.
In addition to the students, there is the permanent staff composed of Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama, makeup; Jane Quaid, Norman, Okla., graduate student, costumes, and Richard Murray, Kansas City, Mo., senior, lighting.
Class Members Busy
Berlin Orchestra Appears Thursday
The appearance of the Bevin Philharmonic Orchestra at 8:20 p.m. Thursday in Hoch Auditorium will mark its first mid-American concert in its coast-to-coast tour of the United States.
Polio Vaccine Program 'Slow'
The student polio vaccination program made possible by the supply of 1,800 free doses of Salk vaccine from the Kansas State Board of Health has brought "very slow results." Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student Health Service said today.
"So far, only three-fourths of the first week's supply of 200 doses has been used." Dr. Canutson said. The health service can not ask for more until the other one-fourth is used.
The board agreed last week to provide 200 doses of vaccine a week to be administered free to University students under 20 years of age.
"To the best of my knowledge," Dr. Canuteson said, "none of the students who have taken shots have been disabled-it does not affect them at all."
"We do not intend to go out and beat the bushes, but we will vaccine any student who comes in during regular hospital hours."
Three doses of vaccine are necessary for complete immunization. The second shot is given three weeks after the first and the third six or seven months later.
Students over 20 years of age who wish to be immunized must pay $1.50 a dose, Dr. Canuteson said.
BSU Construction May Begin By 1960
The Rev. Ernst E. Klein, University pastor for Baptist students, said Friday he hopes construction on the new Baptist Student Union will begin by 1960.
The proposed building will be on a tract of land between Indiana and Mississippi streets. Three lots were bought next to the two at 1124 Mississippi St., which the group already owned.
Weather
Kansas — Showers and thunderstorms east become locally severe extreme east this afternoon and evening. Clearing west and central this afternoon and extreme east tonight. Wednesday partly cloudy. Cooler tonight except extreme northwest. Cooler extreme east, warmer west Wednesday. Low tonight 30 northwest to near 40 southeast. High Wednesday in 60s.
University To Share In AUFS Grant
Through its membership in the American Universities Field Staff, Inc., KU will share in the benefits of a Ford Foundation grant of $1-800,000, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said today.
The University is one of 10 universities and colleges that control and help support the activities of the AUFS, a nonprofit corporation that was established in 1951 by a group of college presidents. Chancellor Murphy is chairman of the AUFS Board of Trustees.
As a member of an organization that employs a foreign service career staff, the University brings to its students and faculty almost 100 reports every year on developments in some of the key areas of the world.
Each year four AUFS men visit the campus to lecture in classes, lead discussion groups and sit with faculty roundtables on foreign affairs.
First Speaker In November
Two of the staff members, Albert Ravenholt and Edwin S. Munger, will visit the University for the third time since the AUFS was founded. Ravenholt will be on the campus from Nov. 5 to 14. He is home from a two-year stay in the Philippines. Munger will be here from March 18 to 26 of next year to talk about events in Africa south of the Sahara.
Two others are visiting KU for the first time. Lawrence Olson, home from Japan, will be here from December 3 to 12. Charles F. Gallagher,
whose field is Northwest Africa will be on the campus from May 1 to 10.1957.
10 Member Institutions
Chancellor Murphy said the grant would assure continuation of a program that he regarded as "one of the most imaginative approaches yet devised in the study of international affairs.
Established in 1951 by a group of university presidents who wanted to breathe life into the study of foreign countries, the AUFS now has 10 member institutions: University of Alabama, Brown university, California Institute of Technology, Carleton College, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Hawaii, Indiana University, Michigan State University, Tulane University and KU.
Students will be admitted on ID cards.
Brought to KU by the University Concert Course, the orchestra is composed of 106 of Europe's finest musicians conducted by Herbert von Karajan, a man described by Time magazine as "the most powerful musician in Europe, and perhaps in the world."
In the 74 years of its existence, only four permanent conductors have directed the musicians. Guest conductors have included such musicians as Brahms, Tschalkowsky, Grieg, and Strauss.
HERBERT VON KARAJAN
Noted Guest Conductors
A large number of the members of the orchestra are professors or instructors at universities, colleges and high schools around Berlin. During the war, the musicians performed for the troops and after the war, their organization was one of the factors in the cultural restoration of Germany.
Thursday's program will feature the "London Symphony" by Haydn, the "Prelude and Love Death" from Wagner's opera "Tristan and Isolde," and the "Second Symphony" by Brahms,
Founded in 1882, the orchestra members drew up a self-governing charter in which the members of the orchestra have the right to a co-decision of a conductor, a structure which continues today.
The remaining attractions of the University Concert Course are the piano team of Appleton and Field on January 14, the National Ballet of Canada on February 15, and the original Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers on March 1.
Orchestra Part Of Festival Day
A Festival Day, sponsored by the University Theatre, the School of Fine Arts, and the Student Union will be held Thursday.
The festival will begin in the afternoon with a matinee of the University Theatre production, "The Rainmaker." At 6 p.m., immediately following the performance, a buffet supper will be served in the Kansas Room of the Student Union. Student ID cards admit to "The Rainmaker."
