NSF Offers Grants To Eight KU Men
Pre-doctoral fellowships have been awarded to eight KU students for 1961-62 by the National Science Foundation in a nationwide competition.
Stipends to the fellows are on a graduated scale by level of study, but average about $2,000.
The fellowship winners are:
Level 1 (now seniors): David Anderson, Riverton, general chemistry, who will study at the University of California at Berkeley; Robert Barnhill, Lawrence, mathematics theory
and practice of computation, who will study at the University of California at Los Angeles; Bruce Barrett, Kansas City, theoretical physics, who will study at Princeton University; Dennis Hayes, Mission, geophysics, who will study at Columbia University.
Court Binds 3 In Theft Case
Three KU freshmen have been bound over to the May term of District Court on a charge of car theft. They stole 7 automobiles.
The students are Harold E. Pearson of Kansas City, Mo., Terry Lee Dixon and Thomas Richard Ramsey, both of Kansas City, Kan.
PEARSON WAIVED the preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon in County Court. Ramsey and Dixon waived preliminary hearings yesterday morning. The students were released on $1,500 bonds.
A ear wreck Saturday in Kansas City led to the arrest of the three freshmen.
Pearson was arrested early Saturday morning by Kansas City police when he wrecked the stolen car he was driving. The 1947 Ford belonged to Hugo Neider, Route 5. It was taken from the Zone X parking lot on February 16.
PEARSON WAS held in custody by the Kansas City, Mo., Auto Theft Bureau until the warrant was issued by the Douglas County police. He was returned to Lawrence Tuesday.
Ramsey and Dixon were arrested after an investigating officer placed the two with Pearson on several occasions.
The three students admitted taking seven cars locally according to County Attorney Wes Norwood.
Level II (intermediate graduate study): David Brice, Sulphur Springs, Texas, solid state physics; John Zimmerman, Monticello, Iowa, analytical chemistry. Both will continue their studies at KU.
People to People

answer the foreign student's questions.
William Dawson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and co-ordinator of People to People, suggested a central organizing group to guide the activities.
Ronald Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior and student body president, said the ASC might incorporate People to People as a committee.
"ASC should be aware of all People to People activities, since the organization is an all student group. Later, applications for appropriations can be made to the council," he continued.
"AFTER THE WORKING plans of People to People have been completed, a bill might be submitted to ASC to make it a permanent committee," Dalby said.
Dalby and Dawson said they would write a statement of purpose that would include the make-up of the organization and ask for representatives from student organizations. It will be presented at the next People to People meeting.
Wescoe Backs Bill For Retirement Plan
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said today the university supports the bill introduced in the Kansas Senate Tuesday to set up a retirement program for state employees, including KU faculty members.
"It is not all we wanted, but if the bill is passed it will mark a significant step forward for the Regents' system by providing an adequate retirement program for faculty members."
Level III (advanced graduate study): Thomas Head, Tonkawa, Okla., mathematics-algebra; John Root, Shawnee, physical chemistry. Both will study at KU.
Fifteen KU students earned honorable mentions in the competition. They are:
Vernon L. Flanagin, Gem, botany (Level 2); Richard C. Rinkel, Lawrence, biology (Level 1); David J. Albert, Monterey, Calif, psychology (Level 1); Adolph L. Beverlein, Phillipsburg, chemistry (Level 2); Douglas C. Neckers, Clymer, N.Y. chemistry (Level 2); Charles W. Owens, Wichita, chemistry (Level 3); Max L. Rumpel, Ogallah, chemistry (Level 3); Robert E. Sticker, Lawrence, chemistry (Level 2); Scott E. Gilles, Prairie Village, engineering (Level 1); Norman D. Shutler, Arkansas City, engineering (Level 2); John C. Musgrave, Joplin, Mo, mathematics (Level 1); Bert A. Taylor, Plainville, mathematics (Level 1); Leo G. LeSage, Concordia, physics (Level 1); Lee R. McGimsey, Ellsworth, Salina, physics (Level 1); and Barbara* K. Foley, Lawrence, social science (Level 1).
Britain Delivers Final Plea-
(Continued from page 1) Soviet airlift which has poured arms into the Red rebels holding large areas of northern Laos.
(Continued from page 1)
Laotian King Savang Vathana has expressed a willingness to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the rebels and include some of them in a "neutral" government but the rebels have rejected his offers.
THE UNITED STATES supported his suggestion that a commission of neutral nations arrange a cease-fire for negotiations but the Communists have rejected this too.
The Reds have demanded a large international conference on Laos, including Communist China. The West believes this would only confuse the situation further.
The United States has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the little kingdom in an effort to keep it in the Western camp but has been unable to resolve internal factional disputes inflamed by the Communists.
Laos is one of the three former French Indochinese states. Slightly larger than Minnesota, it forms sort of a buffer zone between the Communist and pro-Western areas of Southeast Asia.
THERE ARE roughly three factions struggling for control of Laos. —The rightists headed by Boun Oum and his deputy, Nosavan, both staunchly pro-Western and now in control of the government.
The Leftists led by Prince Souphanouvong and Paratroop Capt. Kong Le.
—The neutralists headed by deposed Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma, half brother of Souphanoung.
Kong Le touched off the present crisis by seizing control of Vientiane in a coup last Aug. 9. It split the rightwing and "neutralist" forces and put the leftists back into power.
gathered their forces in the South and recaptured Vieniane, with the help of some "neutralists." Kong Le fled to the north and joined forces with the Communist Pathet Lao guerrillas.
NOSAVAN AND Boun Oum
Since then the leftists and rightists have been battling, mainly in the north, with some towns changing hands several times. A few weeks ago Soviet planes began supplying the leftists with arms. This turned the tide in favor of the leftists and brought the situation to the present crisis.
The king, trying to remain above politics, has been trying to bring all parties together to restore peace to his shattered nation.
Although Laos is not a member of SEATO, the SEATO nations have declared that it is under their protection and that they would resist any attempt by the Communists to take it over.
