Soviet Students To Visit Campus
Students from Soviet Universities are to be shown a free, informal America.
Mo, senior; Sue Hardisty, Salina sophomore. Back row, Jenylen Hedlund, Overland Park sophomore; Becky Shier, St. Joseph, Mo., junior; Heather Jo Johnson, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Glenda Price, Topeka senior; Sharon Scoville, Kansas City sophomore; Carol McMillen, Coldwater junior.
The University Committee sponsoring the 10 Russian students emphasized informality and freedom in the meetings and scheduled events they plan for the students during their campus visit April 27- May 1.
Committee members decided last night that the students would have one-third of each day to do what they want to do, talk to students or professors, or to go downtown. They will probably visit classes they choose.
KENNETH MEGILL, Vassar senior and co-chairman of the committee, said "Our aim is to give them as much freedom as possible and yet be good hosts."
Megill said that organized houses should write letters of application to the KU-Y office if they want some of the visitors as their guests. The letter should contain the reason that the house would like to have the students and the name of the host or hostess who would greet the students. The host houses should expect to provide two dinners and luncheons along with the rooms for the students.
Married and single students should also submit applications if they would like to have a Russian student eat lunch with them one of the days.
The deadline date for all applications is March 22 at the KU-Y office.
ONE ALL CAMPUS meeting will definitely be set for informal questioning.
Definite plans for meetings between the Soviet students and one or two campus organizations have not been completed but are being arranged. The committee will pick the organizations upon the groups' approval.
The Soviet students will talk to businessmen at a luncheon. Megill said, "There will probably be a speech on what American business
is like and a tour of two or more plants in Lawrence. Dates for these are not definite"
One day will be spent in Kansas City, Mo., touring some of the major industries. The Soviets will see a baseball game if the Kansas City Athletics are playing that day. The committee also plans to take them to visit the Nelson-Atkins Art Galleries near the Plaza.
The Soviet student visit here originally was planned for October, 1960. Travel restrictions on Soviet citizens and visa complications caused the plans to be postponed.
Two Are Added To Watson Staff
Watson Library has added two members to its staff, both from England. The new KU employees are Constance Michael and L. E. J. Helyar.
Miss Michael, formerly assistant librarian at Reading University, England, is the new Slavonic cataloger. Mr. Helyar will arrive from England this spring to succeed Thomas R. Buckman as head of the Acquisitions department.

Max Eberhart, Great Bend junior and NSA member, said following the NSA meeting last night in the Kansas Union that the film will probably be shown in Fraser Theater, but that the time and place is still tenative.
The NSA regional convention to be held here the last weekend in April was also discussed.
"The speakers to discuss the film have not been chosen as yet, due to the conflict the film has caused," said Eberhart.
This will be the first convention of NSA held at KU. 80-100 students from Missouri and Kansas schools will attend. Topics for discussion will be Cuba, the Congo and Algeria.
"The Student Editorial Conference will be held at the same time," Eberhart said.
Reed, Eberhart Disagree Again
Alan Reed, Leavenworth, and Max Eberhart, Great Bend, both juniors and candidates for student body president, disagreed again last night concerning party successes.
REED SAID that the NSA committee introduced two bills that Eberhart claims as Vox successes.
"NSA committee is a non-partisan group that stands for progressive student government," said Reed. "Vox can in no way claim the bills that they (NSA committee) introduce."
EBERHART ANSWERED:
"Tom Kurt, Pratt medical student and Vox graduate school representative, introduced the resolution on freedom of expression originally in the NSA committee."
Reed said that Vox had established a transportation center, but charged that "like everything else Vox has attempted, these two things have never been put into effect."
Eberhart replied that the transportation control center is in a hallway near the telephone center in the Union. "We hope for more publicity on this," he said.
Concrete Course to Be Given
A six-session practical course on quality concrete will be offered this spring by the KU Extension and Lawrence Adult Education, in cooperation with the Portland Cement Assn. The first session will be held on March 30, with successive sessions scheduled each week on Thursday.
