Dr. Dresden Will Open Science Lecture Series
Dr. Max Dresden, professor of physics, will be the first of a series of lecturers speaking on the International Geophysical Year at the University. Dr. Dresden, whi will speak at 8 p.m. today in Strong Auditorium, will present the first of ten lectures which will be concerned with subjects in the earth sciences and will be given on a layman's level.
The Geophysical Year is an organization of scientists from 38 nations who will undertake during 1957-58, a major research concerning the earth sciences. This includes astrogeophysical measurements, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, cosmic ryas, rocket exploration, geomagnetism, ionospheric physics and aurora and airglow.
The lecture will be sponsored by Sigma Xi, honorary science society, and will feature experts from KU and other universities and institutions throughout the nation.
Dr. Dresden's subject, "Modern Physics and the International Geophysical Year," will consider two aspects of science. The first concerns an explanation of the concept of thermodynamics, the science which treats mechanical action as head.
In his talk, Dr. Dresden will also be concerned with the problems facing scientists during this third Polar Year in a century.
The second aspect of science he will consider concerns existing concepts on fundamental particles such as hyperons, protons, antiprotons and mesons. Questions are now being raised as to the exact nature of these particles.
Problems of Science
As the problems are global in character the research will be carried out on an international scale. Activity has been steadily increasing during the past two years and will culminate in intensive studies during the calendar years 1957 and 1958. These years were selected for the Geophysical Year in order to take advantage of a period of maximum solar activity.
On Jan. 17, D. S. Knos, visiting professor of geography, will speak on "Geography and Urbanization."
Dr. Dresden, in his talk Thursday morning, will also be concerned with backgrounding the layman on international advances in physics and correlation of work in various universities and laboratories.
U. S. Scientists Active
Scientists in the United States engaged in research during this period will be concerned mostly with the middle latitudes of the northern and southern Hemispheres, the Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions and the Antarctic- and Sub-Antarctic regions. Data gathered from these regions added to information gathered at existing weather stations in U.S. and the Arctic, will give adequate weather coverage for the Western Hemisphere.
G. Baley Price, professor of mathematics, will speak on "Mathematics, Master and Servant," in the second of the lecture series Nov. 15.
Frank W. Rowland, professor of radiochemistry, will speak Dec. 20, on "Radiochemistry and Geophysics."
Dr. James P. Gilluly, head of the general geology division of the U.S. Geological Survey, will lecture on, "Composition and Structure of the Earth's Crust." on Feb. 21.
Gerald Kuiper, professor of practical astronomy at Chicago University will speak on, "The Evolution of the Planet Earth," on Apr. 18.
One month later, March 21, Raymond C. More, professor of geology, will talk on, "The Earth's History as Read by a Paleontologist."
On May 7, Roger Williams, director of the Biochemical Institute, Texas University, will speak on "An Open Door: Chemical Anthropology." On May 23, Detlov Bronk, director of the Rockefeller Institute of New York City, will speak on "The International Geophysical Year and the Unity of the Sciences." Mr. Bronk's lecture will be given in the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, Missouri instead of at the University.
Court Rules On Seating Issue
1. Sunnyside parking area is reserved for Sunnyside residents only, and for those with a special parking sticker.
From these appeals the Court clarified parking regulations.
A temporary injunction sought by Jay Ott, Wakeeney senior, against the student athletic committee's action to control the student section at athletic events was denied by the Student Court Wednesday for lack of sufficient evidence of need.
Ott alleged he and other students were being denied the right to sit and to save seats on the 50-yard line if they arrived early enough to reserve them.
The Court ruled that depriving him of this right did not constitute such irreparable harm to merit the issuing of a temporary injunction. The Court did not rule on the validity of the committee measure through this action.
Nine persons appealed parking violations. The Court voted to dismiss four and found seven guilty. Some received more than one ticket.
3. No student can be considered a visitor of museums and thus to be allowed to park in a museum visitor parking zone.
2. All cars must be driven forward into a parking place.
4. Students who have appealed within the 10-day period are giver notice of Student Court meetings and the name of the defense counsel.
ID cards for the Oklahoma game may be exchanged at the Information Booth on Jayhawk Blyd. from 1-5 p.m. Friday and from 8-10:30 a.m. Saturday. Cost of exchanging the cards is $1.

Watkins Gets Shipment Of Salk Polio Shots
Watkins Memorial hospital received from the State Board of Health Tuesday 200 doses of Salk polio vaccine to be administered free of charge to University students under 20 years of age.
"The Board of Health will send the Student Health Service 200 doses of the vaccine each week," said Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Health Service.
He said that the $1.50 fee corresponds to that charged by doctors in this area, and is less than charged by some physicians elsewhere.
Until yesterday the hospital had been purchasing commercial vaccine for 99 cents a dose and charging each student $1.50 a shot. The purchase of commercial vaccine will continue so that students over 20 can receive their shots at the campus hospital.
Full vaccination requires three shots. The first two doses are taken at an interval of one month, and the third in six to seven months.
"Because we will still have to pay 99 cents a dose and purchase new needles, we must continue to charge those over 20 for their shots." Dr. Canuteson said.
The Chorale will sing a 15-minute program at a banquet of the National Association of Musical Therapists at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Javhawker Hotel in Topeka.
Students desiring shots may receive them at the hospital during the clinic hours. The hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 2 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
Chorale To Sing At Therapy Meeting
The Chorale will return to Lawrence Friday after hearing the feature address of the meeting by Dr. Karl Menninger of the Menninger Clinic.
Cornell's arch critic, the Harvard Crimson, likewise has accused the University of throwing its support behind one political party and one candidate. Mr. Nixon said "the cam-
Democrats Hit At Ex-KU Chancellor
Only 6 of the 17 football and basketball players who had billfolds and other valuables stolen from locker rooms at Allen Field House Monday have filed complaints with the campus police, Chief Joe Skillman said today.
"If the rest don't get their names and complaints in we certainly aren't going to be able to do much for them." Chief Skillman said.
He added that Lawrence and campus police are currently investigating all possible leads.
The six official complaints turned in so far amount to a total of $18 monetary loss, a wedding ring valued at $26, and the value of miscellaneous card, licenses, and photographs.
Chief Skillman said that at a meeting of the players and coaches with police Tuesday afternoon, 17 athletes reported losses of money and other miscellaneous items. The largest single amount taken was estimated at $65.
Six Athletes File Complaints
ITHACA N. Y.-An unprecedented press conference took place at Cornell University Wednesday when about 40 editors of college newspapers popped questions at Vice President Richard M. Nixon on a telecast and radio broadcast.
However, President Malott sent a telegram to Democratic National Committee Chairman Paul Butler offering the Democrats "the hospitality of the campus." Mr. Butler has not answered.
Democrats protested that the conference, to which President Malott invited newspaper editors from across the nation, was a "slick advertising trick" by the Republican high command.
Players who filed complaints were Ronald R. Claiborne, Amarillo, Texas, sophomore; John P. Husar, Chicago, Ill., sophomore; Robert L. Kraus, Massillon, Ohio, junior; Don B. Pfutzenreuter, Carlsbad, N.M., senior; Bruce Brynum, Neodesha junior; and Frank Black, Lawrence junior.
Opening Play Well Paced, Acted
Deane W. Malott, president of Cornell University and former chancellor of the University of Kansas, received complaints from the Democratic-Party that he had gotten into politics by setting up the conference.

The Studio Theatre survived the baptismal fire of inaugurating its new season Wednesday night when it offered excerpts from two Russian dramas to about 160 first-nighters.

Marvin Carlson, Wichita senior, was engagingly funny as a conscientious secretary and teamed with Dee Richards, Lawrence senior, is providing two very distinctive bits of characterization. Lee MacMorris, Hutchinson senior, approached perfection as the social climbing wife of the mayor, played to the hilt by Robert Potter, Kansas City, Kan. freshman.
After a slow but unusual beginning, the play hit its stride and moved almost effortlessly to its climax. The fast and furious rate of the action did much to sustain the forcical atmosphere of the comedy, but was a bit too protracted and left the viewers slightly exhausted.
The audience was first treated to a well-paced segment of "The Inspector General," a Gogolian satire. With a cast of 19 ultimately crowded onto the small stage, director Arthur Kean, instructor of speech and drama, tastefully solved the almost insurmountable problem of managing the crowd scenes.

Engagingly Funny

The remainder of the comic gaumut was run by Jim Hinzia, Blue
Rapids, freshman, who was effective as a sort of Bolshevistic Mr. McGoo. Bob Yanike, Maryville, Mo. graduate, whose Jayhawker crew cut seemed incongruous for circa 1890, was a broad and likeable Inspector General.
The supplementary drama, "Darkness at Noon," was more technically challenging since it offered changes of setting and lighting. A somber, realistic, post-revolutionary drama from Arthur Koestler's grim novel on the 1937 purge trials in Russia, it traces the interrogation and execution of one citizen Rubashov.
Roles Well Played
However, in a play made difficult through its appeal to the mind rather than the emotions, his reading of the closing speech is masterful and shows much promise.
Roles Well Played Harper Barnes, Kansas City Kan. sophomore, smoothly creates
John Ryberg, Salina junior, as the tragic figure, Rubashov, ensnared in his own political philosophy, is alternatingly excellent and mediocre, but rarely consistent. After an initial scene filled with strained dramatic pauses and cigarette smoking, Ryberg is faced with the problem of subsequently raising his emotional pitch to a point already surpassed. He thus leaves himself no place to go and is later virtually anticlimatic.
the illusion of an elderly Czarist prisoner and is matched equally well by Tom Engel, Kansas City. Mo. sophomore as a youthful victim of prison tortures. Roger Stanton, Marysville junior, was outstanding in his role of the sadistic interrogator. His diction and timing were the best of the evening and he lacked little in interpretation and forcefulness.
Donna Fink, Fredonia sophmore, as Luba, the ghostly apparition from Rubashov's past, executed with professional ease a most difficult scene of simultaneous hysteria and exposition. She displayed an insight and sensitivity far beyond her years and proved once more that it is not the material size of the role that matters.
Although the original purpose was to show the marked opposition of the two points of view, the end result was simply an excuse to show the best portions of two good plays. Whatever the justification, it came off well and should not be missed by anyone interested in baroque theater.
Director Nat Eek, instructor of speech and drama, blended unique scenery, sound, characters, and action with various lighting techniques to produce Kingley's oppressing drama with maximum effectiveness.
pus and the administration is not behind a candidate when he appears on the campus."
Wide Range of Questions
Wine range on Quailton.
Wine editors ranged from statehood for Alaska and Hawaii to Red China's admittance into the U. N.
Many of the Democratic college editors attending the conference asked what they thought would be embarrassing questions.
However, the vice president parried the questions professionally and politically, turning the answers until they fell neatly into his campaign strategy. Few if any, of these trying to make Mr. Nixon look absurd or inconsistent succeeded.
During the hour and a half of questioning which followed the radio and television broadcast, the vice president made clear what his political opinions were on a number of issues.
He said the "old type of investigation" like that conducted by Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) was no longer necessary, but he didn't openly critize the senator or his investigating tactics.
Red China's entrance into the U. N., Mr. Nixon said, would morally destroy the U. N. because new membership is based upon the peaceful attitude of the country seeking admittance. He said he did not feel that Red China's conduct is peaceful.
For Alaska, Hawaii Statehood
For Alaska, Hawaii
The vice president said he wanted statehood to be given to Alaska and Hawaii at the same time, but he didn't say when they should be admitted.
Earlier in the day, at 2:35 p. m., Vice President and Mrs. Nixon and a small corps of newsmen landed at the Tompkins County Airport and were greeted by a group of poorly organized but enthusiastic Republicans. After addressing the group, the vice president and Mrs. Nixon spent several minutes shaking hands with the crowd over a fence.
A radio employee, making a tape recording of the arrival, asked Mrs. Nixon to shake hands and say a few words, but she said," I'd rather shake hands with the crowd and I took part in a scheduled but informal discussion with a group of Cornell women undergraduates.
Seminar With Newsmen
A seminar for the visiting editors was held with members of the working press who are now on tour with the vice president. The editors were told by the press of the problems and techniques they have in reporting campaigns and the etiquette observed when questioning the vice president.
Members of the working press who participated were William Theis, International News Service; Ted Church, CBS; Bob Ruth, U. S. News and World Report; James Newton, Washington Evening Star; James Bassett, Mr. Nixon's press secretary, and Herb Klein, assistant press secretary.
The idea for the conference began with a letter to President Eisenhower form a national officer of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity. The officer asked that either the President or the vice president devote some time to college students and so bring the political campaign close to the campus.
Cornell University was asked by the vice president to be host to the conference.
Weather
Partly cloudy this afternoon, tonight and Friday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms extreme southwest this afternoon, spreading to south central tonight and Friday. Little change in temperatures. Low tonight in 50s. High Friday 75 to 80.
