Busy Bees Burrow While You Walk
By JAMES CABLE
(Of The Daily Kansas Staff)
Underfoot and unknown to the students who daily use the dirt paths on the south side of the campus are thousands of potentially important insects.
Their scientific name is Calliopsis. More commonly they are known as burrowing bees.
This information comes from the files of Alvin Shinn, Lawrence graduate student, who is doing research on the bees for his doctorate in entomology.
According to Shinn, the burrowing bee nests in shafts it digs in the hard-packed, bare paths on the south side of Mt. Oread.
The bee, under natural conditions, is active only in summer months. Part of Shinn's work has been to determine whether or not the bee can be kept alive in captivity in winter months.
"Evidence so far indicates it can be done under right conditions," he said.
To gather material, Shinn sat behind Robinson Annex and observed bees from morning to night every day last summer.
A Campus Curiosity
"Before the summer was over I became a campus curiosity piece," he said. "Students, who saw me sitting and looking at the ground day after day, became curious enough to ask me what I was doing. Even
townspeople driving by in cars stopped to see what was going on." Shinn's findings will have a high scientific and economic value.
"If the bees can be successfully raised in captivity they will become a source of genetic study material and be of great importance in the study of evolution." he said.
The bees, which pollinate legume crops, could be introduced into states where honeybees are now used for this purpose at a considerable savings to the seed growers Shinn said.
IFC To Give $250

70 Listed On Education School Honor Roll
Seventy students are listed on the fall semester honor roll of the School of Education.
Five students who received all A's are Sally Billingsley, Kansas City, Kan. senior; Marcia Bierlein, Pittsburg; Gayle Kinemond, Bushton; Lois Kuchenbecker, Kansas City, Mo.; Anne Lasater, Wichita junior.
"The Saint of Bleecker Street," an opera by Gian-Carlo Menotti, will open Monday in the University Theatre for a 3-day run. Students may receive free reserved seat tickets by presenting their ID cards at the Union concessions counter.

In the story, Annina is subject to numerous supernatural visions during which she receives the sacred stigmata on her hands. The stigmata are the markings made by spikes when Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross. She is considered a saint, and the story moves from there.
Taking place in the Italian sector of New York, the opera centers on the lead role of Annina, played by Virginia Copeland, star of the original Broadway production.
Others with major roles in the combined University Theatre-Fine Arts School cast are: David Dodds, Lawrence graduate student; Jack Davison, Lawrence, Bonnie Dinsmore, Dayton, Ohio, and Mary Jo Wooffer, Colby, all seniors, and Joyce Malicky, Baldwin freshman.
The production is staged by Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama, with music direction by Robert Baustian, associate professor of orchestra.
Green Theater Is No More
Green Hall's Little Theater is no more.
The basement theater, no longer needed since the Music and Dramatic Arts Building was completed, is being converted into a courtroom for the School of Law. The judge's bench and the jury box have replaced the stage, and buildings and grounds painters are working above the tarpaulin-draped seats. The courtroom will be finished March 15.
The former courtroom, also in the basement of Green Hall, is being
Give Men More Room: Cut Number Of Coeds!
The suggestion that the number of women in co-educational colleges be reduced because of bulging enrollments is not necessarily a good one, according to Miss Emily Taylor, dean of women, and James K. Hitt, registrar.
The tongue-in-cheek suggestion, by Philip Ward Burton, professor of journalism at Syracuse University, appeared in the Feb. 9 issue of This Week magazine.
His reasoning is that "men need the college degree more than women" and that "most women have less sensible, or less demanding reasons for a college education."
"In 1957," he writes, "there were over 3,200,000 college students. Well over a million of these were women. The total figure is expected to double in 10 years. That means that perhaps $2\frac{1}{2}$ million women would expect to attend college in 1967—even
Scholarship Finals Begin
A total of 84 finalists will compete in final examinations and interviews for the Elizabeth M. Watkins scholarships in the Kansas Union Monday and Tuesday, and for the Solon E. Summerfield scholarships on March 17 and 18.

divided into several smaller rooms for class use.
The theater was the scene of many one-act plays, often presented in groups of two or three plays at one performance. It was known variously as Green theater, the Little Theatre, and the Studio theater.

2 Cuban Students' Views:
'Everyone Is Against Batista'
The majority of Cuban people are supporting Fidel Castro and his rebel groups in their efforts to oust Cuban President Fulgencio Batista from office, according to two Cuban students interviewed by The Daily Kansan.
President Batista deposed the rightful constitutional President Carlos Brio-Socarras nearly six years ago, and since then the entire Cuban nation has been torn with uprisings and violence.

The latest attempt of Cuban rebels to harass President Batista was the kidnapping of auto racing champion Juan Fangio from the lobby of a hotel in Havana Sunday. The kidnapping was apparently timed to disrupt Cuba's $10,000 Gran Premio auto race.
seats and aisles of the Radio Centro theater in Havana, and broke up Cuba's first showing of "Cinerama."
According to news reports, Mr. Castro has been trying to sabotage Cuba's economy in the hope that the island's business leaders would seek peace by helping force President Batista out of office.

assuming the proportion of women doesn't increase."
Rafael Diaz, Sancti-Spiritus, Cuba junior, said:
"Everyone is against Batista in Cuba. Of course, the main reason is that he's not supposed to be there (in office) because he deposed the constitutional president.
"Batista has tried to make some improvements, such as fixing the streets and building homes and schools, he said, "but it is not enough. The people who support Castro want freedom."
"In Havana at the National Hotel, there is much gambling, especially for the American trade," Diaz said. "Of course this gambling is legalized by the government so the government can make a profit."
People Careers Rebels
One of the students interviewed,
Braulio Gonzalez, Las Villas, Cuba
senior, said:
People Cheer Rebels
"The people are hoping that the rebels will overthrow the Batista government, because constitutional guarantees have been withheld.
"Some people are afraid to speak
out against Batista because squealers or spies hired by the government will get them into trouble."
"I would say better than 60 percent of the people want to get rid of Batista and gain back their constitutional right," Gonzalez continued.

"The legalized gambling has been authorized by Batista because the government makes money on the high taxes charged to operate gambling places."

Mr. Hitt commented, "The purpose of this suggestion is to get people thinking about a sensible solution. We may be forced to use some non-sensical solution such as this, if nothing better comes along."
Miss Taylor said that with the future of society resting on more than the "learned professions" it would be a mistake to deprive women of a 4-year college education. Prof. Burton, however, solves his own problem.
"Of course," he writes, "if we start today to open up more schools, to expand present schools, to train more faculty and pay them better, we may not need to limit feminine enrollment drastically in the co-educational school of the future."
