April Visit to KU Slated for Soviets
Ten Soviet university students and their interpreter will visit KU in April on an exchange program between the National Student YMCA and YWCA and the Soviet Union's Committee for Youth Organization.
THIS IS the first visit by Soviet citizens to Lawrence since the State Department lifted the travel ban on Russian tourists to the city in January. Until January Russian citizens were restricted from the Lawrence area, but not satellite country citizens. The remainder of Douglas County remains off-limits to Russians.
THE TRAVEL RESTRICTION or Soviet citizens in the United States is in retaliation for restrictions placed on American visitors in the Soviet Union.
The University, the KU-Y, The Slavic and Soviet Areas study group and Lawrence townspeople are sponsoring the visit.
Kenneth Megill, Vassar senior and co-chairman for the University committee arranging the details of the visit, said that the emphasis of the visit would be "informal contact between the Soviet students and as many American students as possible."
SPECIFIC DETAILS for the visit have not been worked out but the
students will live in University housing. They will talk with professors in their fields of interest and visit businesses and industries in the area (except Douglas County).
Clark Coan, assistant dean of men and foreign student adviser, said that the committee had just been notified of the tentative date of the five-day visit, April 27-May 1. He said he thought that the group would consist of both men and women. Some of the students will be able to speak English.
THE EXCHANGE is in return for an American student visit to Russia last summer. Kenneth Megill was among last summer's group as was James Shultz, a senior at Southwestern University in Winfield. Shultz was the student asked to leave the Soviet Union for distributing Bibles.
ROBERT A. NEBRIG JR. was the first representative from KU to go to the Soviet Union. He made the trip in 1959 as a senior.
The KU-bound Soviet students are part of a 20 member group docking in New York in early April. The 20 Soviets will split up, going to different schools. The KU group will go from New York to Milwaukee, the University of Iowa, the University of Nebraska, KU and on to Washington, D. C. The tentative departure date from New York is May 9.

George Buford Is CRC Vice-Chairman
George G. Buford, Kansas City junior, Wednesday was elected vice-chairman of the Civil Rights Council, instead of Bruce Wright, Salina sophomore, as was reported in yesterday's Kansan.
Solons Hit Birch Society
In separate Senate speeches, Young and Mansfield deplored the organization's growing membership in the Dakotas and Montana, although Young quoted a (Time) magazine article as reporting it has active "cells" in more than 35 states. One North Dakota city alone has four cells. Young stated.
Society President Robert Welch "has made accusations against the president and other top officials far beyond anything the late Sen. Joe McCarthy ever thought of," Young said.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Sen. Milton R. Young, R-N.D., and Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., sought to rally public opinion today against the ultra-conservative John Birch Society, whose top official accused former President Eisenhower of being a Communist agent.
ACCEPTING HIS candidacy for president, Reed struck out against the Vox political party and its leadership.
Reed-
"This campus," he said, "has been laboring entirely too long under the backward, non-thinking leadership of Vox Populi.
Continued from page 1)
"A comparison of activities of their council members and our party's council members since fall elections is almost ludicrous. They have not offered one major action while we have offered several."
**REED THEN** referred to the civil rights resolution the ASC passed three weeks ago.
"We (UP) finally backed down the Vox majority on the council enough to pass for the first time, a strong and reasonable civil rights resolution, after they had even refused to discuss it for a month."
Crafton Reads Ballads
The spry man started speaking even before he reached the podium. His enthusiasm was contagious.
"There is a great variety in ballads, and they are fun to read aloud," Allen Crafton, professor of speech, said at yesterday's Poetry Hour. Ballads are the short, short stories of poetry, most of which end sadly, he said.
Prof. Craftton then read literary ballads which, he said, exhibit greater command of language resources than the folk ballads. He read ballads that reflected moodiness, lyric qualities and humor.
He started his selection of poems by reading folk ballads which he called poetry "by, for and about" people. He imitated the British and Irish dialects in the poems.
Ripples of laughter could be heard in the audience as he read "Gentle Alice Brown" and "The Hermit of Shark Tooth Shoal." Prof. Crafton said these were called burlesque poems because they satirized more serious and melodramatic ballads.

Debaters Question Health Insurance
The 32 teams are debating the question: "Resolved: That the United States Should Adopt a Program of Compulsory Health Insurance for all Citizens."
Debaters from 21 colleges and universities have made their headquarters in the Kansas Union for the fifth annual Heart of America Debate Conference, which lasts until tomorrow afternoon.
EACH TEAM debates eight rounds. The 16 teams judged to have presented the best arguments will be announced at 7 tonight in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. The others will be eliminated from the competition.
The octofinals will begin tomorrow at 9 a.m. followed by the quarterfinals at 11 a.m. Semifinals will be at 2 p.m. in the Oread Room and Pine Room, and the final round will be at 4 p.m.
Judges for today's debates will be coaches who accompanied their teams. Each coach will judge one round in which his team does not participate.
Judges for tomorrow's eliminations will be faculty members from the University who have not heard previous rounds of the debates.
COMPULSORY HEALTH insurance is a federal program which would provide medical care under social security or a similar payment plan. Under it, the government pays medical bills to doctors and others who may provide care under its direction.
Two of the main objections raised against most plans of compulsory health insurance are that they interfere in the personal relationship between physicians and patients, and that they give politicians a high measure of control over medical care.
One of the major questions in the debate concerns the practicability of such a program for all citizens.
