CouncilPicksGroups To Talk with Canole
By Rosalie Jenkins
The All Student Council passed a resolution last night establishing a student committee to meet with James C. Canole, state architect, and discuss the design of new Fraser Hall.
The committee will also include Keith Lawton, vice chancellor in charge of operations, and one faculty member.
The resolution, submitted by Lee Ayres, Park Ridge, Ill., graduate student (UP, unmarried-unorganized), is action on a letter from Canole read at the Council meeting.
The ASC resolution calls for a committee, composed of Lawton, Canole, the ASC chairman, one other ASC representative, two representatives from the Engineering School Council, and one faculty member to meet for discussion on the Fraser design sometime before Tuesday, May 18th, the night of the last scheduled ASC meeting of the school year.
Canole's letter was in reply to an invitation extended by the ASC, to attend a Council meeting to discuss the new Fraser design.
CANOLE SAID. "I would be receptive and pleased to meet with a moderate-sized committee of Council members and would like to suggest this method of discussing the question (the Fraser design)."
Canole added that he would also like to include some University representatives in the committee and suggested Lawton. "I do not feel that I could or should represent the University in such a discussion," Canole wrote.
The only other legislation passed last night was an amendment to ASC Bill #20, which establishes a system to offer students who will not return next year a means of redeeming their Book Store receipts.
A similar amendment which passed in April by the Council was returned with a veto last week by Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior and former student body president.
Stewart said he vetoked the amendment because of vague wording and unclear passages which could lead to confusion later on.
Bill Brier, Overland Park senior and Committee on Committees chairman, told the Council that the committee had agreed with Stewart's criticism and had written a new amendment.
THE AMENDMENT would set up a depository in the Kansas Union where students who will not be at KU the following semester can turn in their bookstore receipts.
The deposits can be made until the last day of finals. They should be placed in an envelope containing another self-addressed envelope along with a statement signed by the student including the total amount of the enclosed receipts.

U.S. Troop Landings Herald Viet Escalation
A Viet Cong force estimated in the thousands attacked and captured for seven hours the provincial town of Song Be, 75 miles northeast of Saigon Tuesday, in what was believed to be the prelude to a monsoon season Communist offensive.
SAIGON—(UPI)—Nearly 1,400 U.S. Marines and 1,000 paratroopers landed in South Viet Nam today, raising U.S. military strength here to a record 45,000 men. There were indications, meanwhile, that the Viet Cong had suffered a costly defeat in the field.
The attack cost a total of five Americans and 42 Vietnamese dead
and 13 Americans and 76 Vietnamese wounded, with another 50 of the 15,000 residents dead or wounded. After the fighting 59 Viet Cong bodies were found. South Vietnamese officials estimated 250 were killed and carried away.
Authorities said a young Viet Cong soldier defected and tipped off American and South Vietnamese officials to the major Communist attack. Although the Reds held the town for seven hours they were driven into the jungle.
Military authorities reported that Vietnamese relief forces almost walked into two Viet Cong ambushes around Song Be.

Soviet Ship Nears Moon
MOSCOW—(UPI)—The Soviet Union announced its unmanned $1.2-$ton space probe would reach the lunar surface at 10:15 p.m. (3:15 p.m. EDT) today. A successful "soft" landing would give the Russians a four-month lead over the United States in the moon race.
The probe, known as the Luna Lunik 5, has been streaking toward the moon for two days. The Russians said they would try soft landing techniques as opposed to previous probes when space vehicles crashed into the moon.
THE TASS NEWS agency announced the vehicle would try a soft landing system but it appeared to leave an escape clause in case the landing failed. The announcement said only that "elements of the system of soft landing are being tried out for the first time."
The first U.S. attempt to land a spacecraft, known as the Surveyor, on the lunar surface without a shattering impact is now scheduled for early October. The first U.S. lunar lander will weigh about half a ton less than Luna 5 and will carry no scientific instruments. The Russian probe is to send back signals from the landing site "in the area of the "Sea of Clouds."
A soft landing probe has a retro or braking rocket to slow it down to a speed low enough to preserve the instruments and equipment on impact.
The Russian announcements were enough to confirm speculation that the mission of the Luna 5 was more ambitious than anything yet attempted by the United States in the race to put a man on the moon.
THE U.S. RANGERS which sent back television pictures of the moon's surface had no such brakes and smacked into the moon at about 5,945 miles per hour.
The American Surveyor landing probes will hit at 10 to 15 feet per second and get no more of a jolt than a person would expect if he jumped off his desk. They will
have flexible tripod legs which also will absorb some of the shock.
THE U.S. SURVEYOR project, which calls for soft-landing 13 instrument packages to probe the moon's surface, begins next October and ends in 1967.
The Luna 5, weighing 3,254 pounds, was launched on Sunday. Tass said Tuesday night the trajectory of the space probe had been "corrected according to the flight program" late Monday.
were reported "working normally."

"Radio communication with the station is being maintained," Tass said.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT of Soviet plans for a soft landing did not come as a surprise to space experts in the United States.
"It was obvious from the size of the Luna 5 vehicle that they could make the moon landing." Homer Newell, a key man in the U.S. space program, said in Washington Tuesday.
Demonstrators' Trials Postponed Until June
County court trials for 92 civil rights demonstrators have been postponed, according to Dan Young, assistant to Douglas County Attorney Ralph King.
Trials for these 92 were scheduled to begin last Monday, however, they are being postponed until June 14 for rescheduling. Young said this was done at the discretion of the judge.
Eighteen other demonstrators whose trials were transferred to district court, will go on trial at the time prescribed. Three demonstrators, Pamela Smith, former student from Kansas City, Elbert J. Rinkel, Scott City senior, and Walter Bgoya, Ngara, Tanzania, senior will be tried Monday, May 17, in district court, Young said.
The other 15 demonstrators to be tried in district court will appear June 4 to have definite trial dates set, Young said.
County Attorney Ralph King selected the 18 arbitrarily to be arraigned in district court May 3. The other 92 were arraigned the same day in county court.
All 110 persons were arrested on charges of disturbing the peace following a sit-in demonstration outside Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe's office March 8. They were protesting alleged racial discrimination at KU.
King said the demonstrators could face a maximum fine of $100 or three months in the county jail if they were found guilty.
No arrangements have been made for students who will be out of town for the summer when their trial is scheduled. King said. "Usually, if the guy doesn't show up the bond is forfeited."
Teller Attacks False Notions Concerning Nuclear Fallout
Bv Harihar Krishnan
Confusion about the effects of nuclear fallout created by some prejudiced scientists is bound to cause more harm than fallout itself. The world's leading nuclear physicist, Edward Teller, made this prediction last night in his lecture "The Responsibility of the Scientist".
Before about 1000 people in Hoch Auditorium, the "father of hydrogen bomb" attacked the notion that the holocaust of a nuclear war will destroy every human being on the earth.
"I have made many calculations," Teller said, "and I find that in order to spread destruction on every single individual, one would have to detonate a bomb much more powerful than the one at Hiroshima over every square mile on the surface and oceans of this earth. How can anyone do anything as horrible as that?"
Teller, who two years ago voiced strong disagreement over the proposed signing of the partial testban treaty, said 'To explain the size of the danger with which we are faced is indeed the job of the scientist. A nuclear attack against the United States will have very horrible consequences; but this will be due more to the shock and panic that the confusion will have caused on the minds of the people.
"I AM TELLINC you that no matter how great the danger is, it is not right to exaggerate it."
Teller said it is not right to ask a scientist whether fallout or the effects of a fallout is good or bad.
"I am asked 'is fallout good or bad?' They tell me 'please answer the question preferably in one syllable.' Contradictions between prejudiced scientists, of which I am one, are bound to be there," he said
The question that should be asked, according to Teller is, "Is fallout essentially different or is the effect of fallout essentially different? To this question the answer can be clearly given."
Teller explained that he meant the effects of radiation will differ from place to place and depend upon the content of Thorium (a rare radioactive element) in the soil.
HE SAID EVERYONE is being exposed to a tremendous quantity of radiation from outer space and that ordinarily a nuclear fallout produces only 10 per cent of the natural radiation to which man is constantly being exposed.
Speaking about the responsibilities of a scientist, Teller said, "This question of responsibility is one that has become a subject of public discussion and it has become rather a one-sided discussion.
Weather
The weather bureau predicts generally fair and warmer weather tonight. Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with southwest winds 10 to 15 an hour. The low tonight is expected to be in the lower 50 degrees.
"The changes that have occurred since World War II due to scientific discoveries very clearly influence all of us." he said.
"Since our involvement in the war," he said, "we have come to a point where we can no longer remain indifferent to what is happening around the world.
"The first responsibility of a scientist is to discover the laws of nature and to attempt to make sense out of them," he explained. "The scientist's next duty lies in the application of this knowledge."
It is this application of knowledge which enables the scientist to extend the power of man over nature, Teller said.
"EVEN AFTER ALL this has happened, the scientist's duty is not over," he continued. "Having understood the laws of nature, having applied his understanding, having created new instruments, it is his duty to explain his knowledge to others. If his knowledge is not understood, a democratic society cannot function."
Teller stressed the need for a world order where peace and freedom could exist.
Technological advances are making the world smaller, he said, and
