Bureau Ships Films All Over Nation
"The Adventures of Bunny Rabbit," "Brazil" and the "You Are There" series are among the most popular movies in the rental service of the KU Bureau of Visual Instruction. The bureau sends 100 to 150 films a day to all parts of the country.
The bureau shows movies to classes. It has a special library of about 270 films that are reserved for classroom use.
The demand for films is sometimes so great the bureau can not accommodate them. Thursday, an average day, had 25 films scheduled, six of them to be shown in the projection room and the remainder in classrooms.
Fred S. Montgomery is director of visual instruction and Mrs. Paul B. Lawson is in charge of services for the campus.
The films are kept in a fire proof air conditioned vault. Films are filed alphabetically and by size.
Slide, filmmart and sound projectors and tape recorders are available. Its rental library contains about 6,000 separate titles with duplications of some popular movies. There is a tape library of several hundred tapes.
Selects Bailey Film Series
The bureau sponsors and selects films to be shown in the Bailey film series at 4 p.m. each Wednesday in the projection room. 3 Bailey Hall. The series covers a wide variety of subjects including art, history and architecture.
The bureau has a projection room which seats 80 persons and a preview room which seats 17 persons. The latter is used by professors who want to preview a film before showing it to their class.
Field House Tickets Left
Despite the appearance of two of the nation's top five basketball teams Friday night in Allen Field House, there will probably be seats to spare.
Kansas State's Wildcats, ranked fifth in the nation last week, play the University of California and KU, second in the nation, plays the University of Washington in a double header.
Earl Falkenstein, athletic department business manager, said there are plenty of tickets left for the games, and unless there is a rush for tickets soon, the crowd will be from 12-15,000. Allen Field House holds 17,000.
The formation of a chapter of Alpha Sigma Chi, servicemen's council, and disbanding of the University Veterans' Organization will be discussed at 7 tonight in the Pine Room of the Student Union. A representative from the Alpha Sigma Chi chapter at St. Louis will speak.

Power Edge Still West's, Ike Says
(Compiled from United Press)

President Eisenhower told the opening session of the first N summit conference today the West still holds "the margin of r
In his speech, Mr. Adenauer proposed that the West first use diplomatic channels to find out precisely what Soviet Premier Nicolai Bulganin meant in his recent series o letters to Western countries which combined threats with overtures fo appeasement.
In Cape Canaveral, Fla., the Air Force's Atlas pointed skyward, ready for launching today. The U. S. hopes its earth-shaking rocket engines will give a shot in the arm to the NATO talks in Paris.
Also at the first session, West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer called for a renewal of cold war peace talks with the Soviet Union.
However, he said the Western nations "must work to maintain this lead over the Communist bloc" because the triumph of freedom over despotism is not inevitable.
Atlas Ready For Launching
The Atlas is America's largest and most powerful ballistics missile. It is a three-stage rocket designed to span continents with an atomic warhead in its blunt nose.
In Washington, Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson called for an early decision on a proposed new government agency to direct the drive for mastery of outer space.
"We must begin as soon as possible the practical work that is designed to get us to the moon first," he said. "We are a few steps behind in the race already and someone is going to have to take over direction so we can skip a few steps and overtake our competitor."
In Tehran, Iran, the governor of Hamadan province said that at least 2,000 were killed in the series of earthquakes that have hit northwestern Iran since last Friday.

In Jakarta, Indonesia, reports indicated that Indonesian military commanders were carrying out their orders to take control of all Dutch enterprises. The Indonesian actions against Dutch interests have been in reprisal for the Dutch refusal to give up West New Guinea to Indonesia.

Commenting on the Soviet Sputniks, Mr. Nixon said three conclusions may be drawn: one, the Russians have developed a rocket with a thrust big enough to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile; two, they can build a tricky guidance system for a satellite, and three, they may have solved the problem of reenerating the atmosphere at tremendous speeds.
Mr. Nixon said the guidance system of an earth satellite, however, is only about one-tenth as accurate as that used on a military missile.
Also in Washington three American mothers are awaiting a go-ahead from the Chinese Reds to pay Christmas visits to their sons imprisoned in Communist China on charges of spying.
The State Department, reversing previous policy, recently agreed to permit close relatives of six Americans jailed in Red China to visit their kin. Thus far the Peiping regime has failed to give the three women permission to enter.
In Topcka, a report of a room-by-room survey of Kansas' five state colleges revealed present classroom space with normal additions could handle an anticipated doubling of enrollments by 1970.
Dormitory Space Needed
However, a special committee of the Board of Regents said dormitory space would have to be expanded. This would necessitate raising the statewide property tax levy an average of 25 cents a Kansan annually, or raising the present mill levy from 4 to one milk.
The group advocated borrowing nine million dollars from inactive state funds to meet the immediate critical period for additional classroom space.
The Regents then noted the real money needs would come for faculty salaries at the five state colleges. The group said that "Kansas is now 19.6 per cent below the national average."
