Eight Seniors Elected To Phi Beta Kappa
Eight seniors have received the highest honor offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
They have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, liberal arts honor society. Only students whose records are nearly all A receive the honor on the basis of grades for six semesters.
The eight will be initiated at the annual fall meeting of the KU chapter Dec. 9. The chapter was established in 1891, the first west of the Mississippi River.
Of the eight, four are science majors in physics, bacteriology, zoology, and mathematics. The others are majoring in French and history, German history, and economics.
Joanne Beal, Lawrence, majoring in both French and history; John E. Beam, Ottawa, physics; Ellen Hoover, Lawrence, German; Kenneth L. Irby, Fort Scott, history.
The New members;
Donna Jasper, Dighton, bacteriology; Noel M. Johnson, Kansas City, Mo.; zoology; Arlan B. Ramsay, Dodge City, mathematics; John F. Zoellner, Tonganoxie, economics.
The future of the social security program is of a concern to beneficiaries, including KU faculty members whose retirement is based on it.
Pension Plan Is Concern
These views were expressed by Kenneth Pine, a Lawrence insurance man, to the Lawrence Assn. of Life Insurance Underwriters Thursday morning.
He pointed out that, as taxpayers can now influence Congress to increase benefits, later taxpayers can influence Congress to lower the benefits to cut taxes. This, he said, would be a loss to the present taxpayer because he would have paid for benefits he cannot receive.
Almost every person feels he is paying money to be saved for his benefit, but actually the money for his own retirement has not been collected.

'Civil Defense In Danger'
If the people of the United States knew the precarious position they are now in, there would be a greater demand for allotments to our Civil Defense Administration. This was the view expressed by Dr. Clifford P. Ketzel upon returning from his first meeting with the national defense executive reserve in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Ketzel was one of 17 men from various parts of the U.S. who attended the meeting. It was there he learned some of the duties he and 51 other men from throughout the nation would have in reorganizing the State Department in case of an atomic attack on Washington.
Problems of Atomic Attack The reserve members received
number of briefings by representatives of governmental agencies that would be in charge in case of an all out atomic attack.
They were briefed by State Department members on Soviet capabilities and by the Civil Defense Administration on the possibilities of radiation fall out and post attack problems such as maintaining the ability to defend the country and the problem of maintaining a semblance of unity.
"It was pretty obvious that if the classified information we received was made available to the public," Dr. Ketzel said, "there would be a greater demand for adequate appropriations for civil defense in the United States."
Sputnik Doesn't Help
"We concluded that an adequate defense, if it is possible, is expensive. There is no indication on the part of Congress that such appropriations will be made. With Sputnik additional money will be made available for scientific research and military purposes but probably very little additional money will be car-marked for Civil Defense", he said.
"I don't think the U.S. with the advent of Sputnik, has been thrust into a position of defenselessness. Should the U.S. do nothing and should the Soviets continue development in these new fields, the balance of power might well shift over a period of years. However, there is certainly no indication we are going to do nothing.
works of standard authors are needed, Mr. Quinsey said. Textbooks and complete volumes of scholarly and technical periodicals are acceptable.
"If anything, the development of earth satellites and ICBM's will make total war an even more unacceptable alternative than it now is," Dr. Ketzel said.
Over 500,000 books and 75,000 journals have been sent overseas by the Asian Foundation in the past two years.
Jayhawker Will Hit Stands Monday
The first issue of the 1958 Jayhawk will be distributed Monday and Tuesday at the information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard, booths in the Student Union basement and the basement of Strong Hall, Tom Pettit, Topeka senior and editor said today.
Student may get their magazines at any of the distribution points. Distribution in organized houses will begin Dec. 2.
Glass Doors Installed In Watson Library
Double glass storm doors have been installed in the west door of Watson Library. The doors, similar to those in the main entrance of the building, will replace wooden doors and a temporary wood structure used during the winter.
A book return slot leading into the undergraduate room of the library is being built left of the west door. Books returned when the building is closed will go directly into the building rather than being deposited in an outdoor box as in the past.
