KU, K-State OK Peace Pact
Delegates from the University All Student Council and the K-State Student Governing Assn. Monday night approved a peace pact which provides for stiffer punishment for violators.
The major change in this year's pact comes in the second paragraph, where the pact reads:
"If any student is caught participating in an act of vandalism, he shall be held responsible for all damage he incurred. The council of the offending school shall recommend to the head of its institution that the student be 'automatically dismissed,' and his transcript shall not be released to any institution until such time as he has paid the stated amount of damages.
The governing bodies also approved a change which calls for the peace pact award to be presented to the winning school immediately after the football game. The award will also be displayed at halftime.
Previously the trophy, which goes to the winner of the KU-K-State football game each year, was presented to the winning school at the halftime of that school's home basketball game between the two rivals.

PILAR LORENGAR
Wins Leading Role
Reputedly one of Europe's most beautiful women, Pilar Lorengar was born in Zaragoza, Spain, and studied music in Madrid.
In 1951, at the age of 18, she won the leading role in an opera, "Maruxa," through an audition. This success was followed by concert tours, starring roles in Spanish films and leads in other operas in principal Spanish cities.
In 1955 Miss Lorengar appeared for the first time before an international audience when she sang at the Alx-en-Provence Festival, Paris, France.
This was followed by her debut at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussells where she received ovations from the public and such reviews as one in the "La Nation Belge" that said, "A voice of rare beauty, a performer of great charm."
Miss Lorengar made her debut in November at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in London, which led to appearances on British Broadcasting Corp. television and also the coveted invitation to sing at the Glyndebourne Festival last summer.
Outstanding Singer
After this performance, the critic of the London Daily Telegram said, "The outstanding singer was Pilar Lorengar . . . she was able to personify the composer's dream of beauty and goodness both in person and by the excellence of her singing."
Presented under the direction of impresario Sol Horok, Miss Lorengar will perform a varied program of the works of many well-known composers. The program has not been issued.
