Ike Takes Over Arkansas Troops
Tuesday, Sept. 24, 1957
NEWPORT, R. I.—(UP)—President Eisenhower today ordered federalization of the Arkansas National Guard and planned to speed back to Washington for a nationwide TV speech to the people tonight on the Arkansas school crisis.
In the meantime, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus hurried home from the Southern Governors Conference in hopes that his appearance in his strite-rorn capital will have a "settling influence and forestall drastic military steps by the federal government.
The President also authorized defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson to use United States Armed Forces to break up crowds in Little Rock who were resisting compliance with a school integration order.
He told newsmen here that things appeared to be quiet in Little Rock today but that if efforts are made to enroll Negroes in Central High School again he fears "the thing will break out all over again."
He called President Eisenhower's proclamation of yesterday warning that force would be used to bring order in Little Rock "bad judgment."

Women! Women! Women!
Who says the men-women ratio s poor here at KU? To Jim Yonally, Miltonvale senior, the situation is just the opposite.
Yonally is working toward a degree in elementary education. This semester he has six courses, all in his major field. In the six courses there are 173 students enrolled. Twelve are men.
This is a ratio of 14.444 women per man.The over-all KU ratio is about one woman to three men.
Yonally said, "After two semesters in elementary education, I became so accustomed to having only girls in my classes that when I went to playground activities last Monday and saw there were already three other men there, I thought I must be in the wrong class."
Yonally said it has been like this in all of his elementary education
Women, Women, Women
He added that he has seven different classes this semester where the ratio of women to men is as follows; child development 1, 48 to 3; elementary school playground activities, 19 to 4; teaching procedures in elementary schools, 15 to 1; teaching procedures lab., 12 to 1; essentials of reading, 25 to 1; methods in art education for elementary schools, 12 to 1, and basic mathematics, 19 to 1.
courses but he feels there are definite advantages.
He pointed out he meets many girls and at the same time keeps his grade average up. Yonally said he has made better grades since becoming a lone wolf among so many coeds.
Inspired
"Perhaps it is due to the inspiration provided by the opposite sex," he said.
Concerning seating arrangements. Yonally said seats hadn't been assigned yet, but he will probably be surrounded by women any way the instructors arrange them.
He said he would probably find a similar ratio of women to men
Board Of Regents Will Meet Friday
The Kansas Board of Regents, governing body of the University, will meet Friday in Topeka for the first time since July.

Discrimination Problem Set For Future Study
The group for improvement of human relations, consisting of about 75 students, faculty, and townspeople, will meet soon to plan its program to do away with discrimination in Lawrence restaurants.
Last semester the group asked students in organized houses to fill out questionnaires to find out opinions on restaurant discrimination.
when he began teaching, and that his classes at KU should prepare him for this situation.
Stanley Murrell, Lindsburg senior, and co-ordinator for the group, said. "We think that some of the restaurants did change their policy because of this action."
They also organized groups of students to find out the restaurant owners' policies. Printed cards stating that progress was being made were left in the restaurants where nondiscrimination was practiced.
"I think we should have more men in this field," Yonally concluded. "but it has been nice not having so much competition from boys in my classes while I've been in college."
Last year the group worked with the ASC, the Lawrence League for Promotion of Democracy, and the American Assn. of University Professors on its program.
Officers of the group are Murrell and George Michos, Brooklyn, N. Y., senior, co-ordinators; Gayle Jones, Prairie View, Tex. Tex. teacher, treasurer, and Linde Bodle, Plattsburg, Mo. junior, secretary.

Maybe He'll Beat It!
10 Tickets To Pay
A 1931 Buick sedan, which had accumulated more than $100 in campus fines, was claimed this morning by William Dew, Rock Island, Ill. sophomore.
Dew has made an appeal to the Student Court concerning payment of these fines which include towing and storage charges. The car, which was removed from the campus Saturday by police couldn't be driven because of a broken rear axle.
Dew said that he had contacted the traffic office when the car broke down and requested that there be no tickets given because of the car's mechanical condition.
He said he was told that he could leave the car there until he was able to locate the part with which to repair the car.
Police Chief Joe Skillman said that there is a state law requiring cars that are traffic hazards or that receive tickets for repeated violations be removed and stored until claimed.
Dew said that he was pleased that his car was referred to as an antique, and not as an old "ilayo."
Shown figuring up how much Dew might have to pay is Ron Miller, Kansas City, Mo. junior and Daily Kansan Reporter.
