P-t-P Seeks Work for KU Students
By Lacy Banks
The People-to-People job placement bureau, meeting in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union last night, accepted applications from about 60 foreign students and promised them assistance in seeking summer employment.
THE GROUP'S CHAIRMAN, Dave Waxse, Oswego sophomore, said that the summer employment program is another method of meeting a world-wide need of bringing peoples from all over the world closer together; helping them to meet and to understand each other and to thus solve some of the world's problems.
"Working through the International P-t-P organization, we started this program to help meet the pressing needs that foreign students have in trying to stay in America," Waxse said.
One of the main needs of most international students here is financial, according to Waxse.
"THE MAJORITY of KU foreign students have scholarships which take care of their university expenses during the school year but they must work during the summer to earn enough money to stay in America," Waxse said.
A graduate student from Chili said, "A job this summer is very important for me because I need the money. Now that I no longer have a scholarship to supplement my assistantship I have to earn money to pay for my living expenses in the summer as well as the school year."
"I need to work this summer to supplement the money that I get from home," a junior from Nigeria said. "Otherwise I may have to miss a costly semester of school since I can not stay in this country a very long time."
According to immigratory rules, international students must clear summer employment with the government. Foreign students can only work if they are returning to school; not if they are going home.
"AMERICAN STUDENTS and employers help us out a great deal," Waxse said.
"At the moment we have at least 35 students living in Kansas towns of 10,000 people or more and serving as field representatives on the look-out for jobs. They report their contacts to us and we do the placing. We also try to assist the students in getting to their jobs." Waxse said.
"Many employers do not have jobs for untrained, part-time workers." Waxse said, "So we have to persuade them to create positions that the students can ably fill. The employers enjoy the opportunities of meeting the students and it gives them a sense of satisfaction from helping out."
"THIS PROGRAM also helps the foreign student to see more of your country," a graduate student from Germany commented. "It gives him the chance to see Americans other than students and to experience living in American environments other than that of the university."
"We need more students to serve as field representatives," Waxse said. "There are about 400 foreign students on campus now and if they all had come here tonight, we would have not been able to accommodate them. Foreign students may still apply for jobs by coming by the P-t-P office in the Kansas Union.
"American students who have leads on summer jobs, no matter what kind, may call me or come by our office," Waxse said.

New Districting Plan Sought
TOPEKA —(UPI)— Rep. Jess Taylor's Legislative Apportionment committee will try again at drafting a rural-slanted Congressional redistricting plan acceptable to the House.
The committee's original bill was turned down earlier this week because a majority of members thought it needed more study.
TAYLOR MET with his committee Wednesday to let it be known
Hidden—

charges of incompetence levelled against Dean Sudler were "hard to substantiate." Gov. Davis said, "I don't want to become involved in a fight with the Klan." Legal arguments cluttered the air. Could the Board of Regents go over Chancellor Lindley's head like they had done? A law of 1889 said they couldn't.
Dean Sudler was never bitter toward the University. On the contrary, he was grateful for the support given him by Chancellor Lindley and the faculty of the medical school.
The matter was never taken to court. Dean Sudler had long wanted to be relieved of his administrative duties. Nevertheless, he was disturbed at the charges being hurled at him.
In a 1947 letter to Chancellor Deane Malott, Sudler stated that "he had lived to see (his) dream of a great medical school come true." The letter is on file in the Kansas Room of Watson Library.
The recently completed out-patient clinic at the KU Medical Center has been named in memory of Dr. Sudler.
that he was not giving up. In less than an hour, three plans were suggested but none was agreed upon.
As usual, the problem boiled down to the question of whether to use the 1960 U.S. census or the 1964 Kansas Agricultural Census in redrawing district boundaries on a population basis.
Taylor said he was open to any and all plans and suggested that the committee members "talk over" the census question with Atty. Ger.. Robert Londerholm.
Rep. Thomas Van Cleave, D-Kansas City, and Rep. Jack Turner, R-Wichita, who led the fight against the committee's earlier bill, said they would talk with Londerholm
However, Taylor was dubious about the value of consulting with the attorney general.
"The other day I sat down to hear what he had to say." Taylor said, 'and he didn't have anything to say.'
HE EXPLAINED that his remark was not a reflection on Londerholm, but was intended only to point out that a court test was the only certain method of determining constitutionality.
Rep. Robert Finney, R-Humbold insisted that the population plan finally decided on should exclude military men, such as those at Fort Riley.
Ranger 8 On Course
PASADENA, Calif. — (UPI) Ranger 8, the U.S. spacecraft headed for a picture-taking rendezvous with the moon, today executed an apparently successful mid-course maneuver to put it on a collision course with the lunar body.

"I don't have to have an attorney general tell me that servicemen seldom vote," Finney said.

He maintained it would not be fair to include such centers of population in redrawing congressional boundries.
The ruling of the court was that inhabitants must be the factor rather than residents.
However, Turner pointed out that a three - judge federal court panel in Virginia ruled that servicemen must be taken into consideration in redistricting.
Indonesians Seize American Library
JAKARATA, Indonesia — (UPI)
JAKARATA, Indonesia — (UPI) A mob af anti-American demonstrators seized the U.S. library in the American consulate in Medan today and ripped down the American flag, reports from the capital of North Sumatra said.
The reports said 700 Indonesian demonstrators entered the library, read a proclamation saying it had been taken over, then tore down the Stars and Stripes and replaced it with the red and white Indonesian flag.
Demonstrators also ripped off the seal identifying the library as property of the consulate of the United States.
There will be eight rounds of preliminary debate, on an elimination basis. Each school may send two teams, an affirmative and a negative, with coaches of the various teams judging.
The finals, to be held Saturday, March 13, will be judged by three nationally recognized authorities on debate. They are Robert Scott, University of Minnesota; Anabel Hagood, University of Alabama, and John DeBross, University of Southern California.
"This tournament, along with the West Point National Tournament, the the two most important debate tournaments in the nation," Dr. Parson said.
Southwest Missouri State College, winner of the tournament for the last two years, will be fielding two teams. KU had two teams making the quarter finals last year.
The tournament was originally organized by Kim Giffin, professor of speech and drama, in 1957.
Forty-eight teams of college and university debaters will discuss the proposition that the federal government should establish a program of public work for the unemployed during the Heart of America debate tourney at KU March 11-13.
Debate Draws 48 Teams to KU
Members of the KU debate team participating in the tournament will be announced by Dr. Parson next week.
