THEY SAY CRAMMING WONT HELP—But there were many sophomores who did not believe this as they listened intently at the Western Civilization review session in Fraser Theater last night. The examination will be given Saturday afternoon.
OAS Agrees to Discuss 'Alliance for Progress'
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The Council of the Organization of American States agreed today to hold a conference July 15 in Uruguay to set in motion President Kennedy's "alliance for progress" plan in Latin America.
Cuba abstained but all other member nations approved of the hemispheric economic conference which was proposed by Kennedy last month.
The action will be referred to the member governments for final approval.
THE CUBAN delegation, headed by alternate delegate Quinton Pino, said it abstained because Cuba felt the plan was illogical. Pino did not indicate whether Cuba would attend the conference.
Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro has denounced the plan as a bribe to pressure Latin American governments to join in collective action against his regime. Because of Castro's aggressive attitude, the OAS has excluded Cuba from preparatory work of the conference.
But U.S. officials made it clear today that there is no intention of banning the Cuban government from the conference.
Officials said the United States may challenge Cuba to show which system, democracy or communism, is best qualified to bring progress and freedom to Latin America.
THE OFFICIALS said Kennedy may address the opening of the conference, unless other pressing world problems prevent him from leaving Washington.
It was learned that Kennedy intends to impress on the Latin American governments the need for quick action on land reform, education, improvement of tax legislation and health programs.
Uruguaia Ambassador Carlos Clulow said the facilities of a seashore resort at Ponta Del Este, near Montevideo, may be more adequate to handle the conference than those at Montevideo which originally had been proposed as the site
CRC Presses Integration Of Lawrence Barbershops
The Civil Rights Council voted last night to send a letter to all Lawrence barbers in an effort to end discrimination in local barber shops.
The letter reads, in part:
"Practices of discrimination are contrary to our Democratic American principles of equality and fair play, and the religious principles which most of us hold. These are the reasons we urge you not to discriminate in your shop because of race, creed, or national origin.
"You will be interested in the experience of the one owner thus far, who has decided to open his shop to all decent people regardless of race. He has received no unfavorable comments, and feels that his business may even have improved a little."
Minority Forum Set For 4 p.m. Tomorrow
The Minority Opinion Forum to be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Music and Browsing Room of the Kansas Union will feature a discussion on "The Truth in Cuba." The speaker will be Edward Shaw, national co-director of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
There are questions at the end of the letter asking under what circumstances each barber would be willing to serve Negroes.
The Council also made plans for its showing, at 7:30 p.m. today in Fraser Theater, of an NBC film of sit-ins in Nashville, Tenn.
The film traces the sit-in movement in Nashville. It shows the accompanying violence, arrests, and boycott of downtown stores. It received an Emmy award as the best documentary film last year.

Gerald B. Rankin of Stanford University, the winning student, was also in Washington to receive his award.
"KENNEDY ASKED about former Chancellor Murphy, for whom he said he has deep regard," he said.
Dean Pickett met the President at the White House just after he and Mrs. Kennedy returned from Palm Beach.
"The helicopters came down on the lawn, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy got out, and a little girl who had been playing at a wading pool ran up to meet them.
"President Kennedy swooped her up to greet her, but only after Caroline had run to her mother first."
A group of judges, representatives from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, and A. Gayle Waldrop, professor of journalism at the University of Colorado, who was steering committee coordinator of competition, accompanied the group.
"WE WENT AROUND in a big mob," said the dean, smiling. He added that they flew to New York Tuesday for dinner at the Stork Club and the Broadway production "Camelot."
Dean Pickett had lunch Tuesday in the Senate Cafeteria with Senators Andrew Schoeppel and Frank Carlson and Representative Robert Ellsworth of Kansas.
STUDENTS
"This is a great honor for the School of Journalism," Dean Pickett said. "We'll win it again because we have the caliber of students enrolled to do it."
