Four Freshmen Here Dec.8
The Four Freshmen, Capitol Records singers, will give a concert at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8 in Hoch auditorium.
The vocal group is pictured above.
Tickets will go on sale next week although an exact date has not been set. The concert will be sponsored by the Campus Chest.
The Four Freshmen started their singing career while still in college. The group is composed of Ross and Don Barbour, Ken Albers and Bob Flanigan.
The quartet is signed to a long term pact with Capital Records. They have appeared on the Steve Allen, Tennessee Ernie and Stan Kenton television shows in New York and were featured
in the MGM production of "Rich, Young and Pretty." They also were heard on the sound track in the Paramount picture, "Lucy Gallant."
The group is acclaimed for versatility as well as refreshing originality. Each member of the combo serves in at least a dual capacity. Ross Barbour plays drums and doubles on trumpet. Don Barbour plays guitar and shares vocal solos with Ken Albers, who handles trumpet, bass and mellophone, and Bob Flanigan plays bass and trombone.
The Four Freshmen's version of "Day By Day" sold over 350,000 records. They have made two albums, "Voices in Modern" and the "Four Freshmen and Five Trombones."

Ike's Speech 'Reassuring'
Must Spend To Stay Abreast With Reds,President Says
While President Eisenhower spoke to the nation Wednesday, most of the faculty members reached by a University Daily Kansan reporter seemed to have been more interested in the cultural events on the campus, such as the Little Symphony concert and "King Henry IV," Part I.
The President put the nation on notice to prepare for considerably higher Federal spending if this country is to keep abreast of the space-age—and Russia.
First Issue Of Kansas Engineer Out Friday
The first issue of the 1957-58 Kansas Engineer, a student-published magazine, will be distributed Friday, Allen Smith, Lawrence senior and editor of the magazine, said Wednesday.
This issue will contain articles on Operation Deep Freeze, a navy geophysical year project in Antarctica; problems of the satellite program; the proposed union for engineers, and articles on the professional societies open to engineering students.
The magazine is financed by engineering students and distributed only to them, Smith said. All articles are written by the students, with a $25 prize for the best story in each issue. The magazine is published four times a school year. November 15, January 15, March 15 and May 15.
Two Students In Accident
A 2-car accident involving two KU students Wednesday night resulted in $350 damage to the cars. No one was injured.
Larry Prather, Wichita freshman, told police he was driving north on Jayhawk Boulevard at 20 m.p.h. when his brakes failed and he could not stop at the 13th Street intersection. He said he pulled in behind a parked car and then swung out into a car moving south on Jayhawk Boulevard. This car was driven by Thomas Brannon, Crete, Neb. senior.
Campus police estimated the damage to be $200 to Prather's car and $150 to Brannon's. Both had damaged left front fenders, hoods, front bumpers and grills.
Prather was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and will appear in Lawrence Police Court Friday morning.
Rally Planned For Friday
Don Feller, El Dorado junior, and Homer Floyd, Massillon, Ohio junior, KU football players, will speak at a pep rally at 9:50 a.m. Friday in front of Strong Hall, Pat Little, Wichita junior and pep rally chairman, said today.
Chancellor Franklin Murphy said he thought the President's speech was good in two ways.
M. C. Slough, dean of the School of Law, said he thought the President's speech was "very encouraging." Concerning the nation's security, Dean Slough said,
"I thought he was frank in stating there were real problems ahead. He did not paint an unduly rosy picture. He brought out that there were two kinds of problems; one immediate, that of production of military goods, and long term problems involving trained minds."
"He pointed out there is no reason to panic. We have had fair warning. Although time is short but nothing can be gained from unreasonable panic."
Had Reassuring Tone
"It carried a reassuring tone and was calculated to bring calm without complacency," said Walter E. Sandelius, professor of political science. "He defends and promotes a spirit of international co-operation which alone will prevent an eventual holocaust.
The President also made mention of man's spiritual needs and that is what is needed if we are to have a moral society and if we are to succeed in our human venture.
"Being in the social science field I was interested to note that he saw the need for persons in fields other than the technological fields. What he said was that we need our Emersons as well as our Einsteins.
Does Not Mention Taxes
Whether the substantially higher price tag on national security would mean higher taxes was the billion dollar question before the nation.
The President, in his nationally broadcast and televised speech, did not once mention the possibility of higher taxes. But at seven different points in his speech he stressed that substantial additional costs would be involved in bringing America's arsenal up to scientific date with Russia, raising military pay, increasing the educational production of scientists and keeping foreign aid at about its present levels.
The President, while forecasting markedly higher spending for defense, pledged his administration to every possible economy in current federal costs in areas less important than security and scientific achievement.
He said the federal government cannot take on the full load of stepping up education of scientists and engineers, but must cooperate with state and local government.

'Not Doing Very Well'
"We're not doing very well."
That's what one nurse said after only 11 students received flu shots at Watkins Memorial Hospital Wednesday.
The 11 is the lowest number since the University Daily Kansan started its drive to get at least 7,000 students inoculated with Asian flu vaccine.
The 11 brought the total number of students who have been given shots to 4,303, or about half of the student body. To reach The Daily Kansan goal of 7,000,a total of 2,686 still need vaccinations. A total of 31 booster shots were also given Wednesday, the hospital reported.
