FARM EXPERT SPEAKS
Viet self-help favored
An agriculture specialist, who recently returned from a trip to Viet Nam, said last night he favors a "self-help" program for the Vietnamese whom he considers illiterate but not ignorant.
If this program had been started 10 years ago, the U.S. would not be facing a long stay in Viet Nam, said George Stephens, agriculture director for KCMO.
"IF WE LEAVE now, the Viet Cong will increase their infiltration of the villages and take over overnight," Stephens told about 60 people at his appearance sponsored by the Douglas County Agricultural Extension Council.
Flying to Vietnam Nam in the President's jet, Air Force One, the specialists accompanying Secretary of Agriculture, Orville Freeman, toured parts of the South Vietnamese countryside. Stephens was selected for the trip as president of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters.
The Vietnamese students are acutely aware of their poverty and wear black clothes, which camouflage the dirt, as a sign of this poverty. Unable to distinguish Vietnamese from Viet Cong, villagers stand by and watch their U.S.-built schools burn, unable to defend one of their only weapons against poverty.
lage ponds provide peasants with a constant supply of fish, which is about the only thing the Viet Cong cannot confiscate.
Stephens said he saw "democracy in action" as members of the 4-T Clubs, similar to U.S. 4-H organizations, received agricultural instruction from U.S. representatives and passed it on to villagers.
"KNOW-HOW is the chief thing these people lack," Stephens said, adding that if the villagers helped build these schools they might also defend them." At present they do not feel that the schools are really theirs but are U.S. property," said Stephens.
A country with great resources of "year-round growing seasons, the best fishing area in the world, and vast untapped pine forests, Viet Nam could be productive, Stephens said.
However, Stephens said the high population in the mainland does not benefit from this since there is no refrigeration method to keep fish fresh during their trip inland.
"THEIR RURAL countryside compares with that of the U.S. 100 years ago," said Stephens. "Ducks and chickens roam the village and a community water well is highly prized."
The Vietnamese living standard is likewise far behind, and often corn sent to feed the livestock is eaten by starving villagers. Vil-
Parachutists' competition postponed by bad weather

'Soda jerks' don hairnets
CASPER, Wyo. —(UPI)— If you're a mop-haired male soda jerk in Casper, your day begins like any other day. You arise, wash up, put on your hairnet and go to work.
Natrona County sanitarian Nix Anderson said "men who wear their hair long like women" will be required to wear hairnets if they work in a place where food is served.
IT USED TO BE that mop-haired men could get by with wearing a cap to cover their tresses, "but now that they are wearing their hair so long, a cap is no longer sufficient," Anderson said.

senior.
Upon arriving at Hearnes Saturday morning they learned of the postponement of the meet until next weekend because of bad weather conditions. They returned to Lawrence Sunday.
LOW CLOUDS, rain, and visibility of only a few miles hampered flying. Edwards said.
Team members do not know if they will be able to participate in the meet next weekend. Originally, the meet was expected to attract 50 parachute clubs.
The KU jumpers were to have entered individual accuracy competition and competed as a team in a combined accuracy and baton pass event. Norton was scheduled to enter the individual style event.

His pictures showed the monumental and the homely in ruins, the contrast between the ancient and the modern, and the process of clearing and reconstructing ruins by painstaking work and research.
Law School Dean talks on bar opportunities
A room in Myers Hall took on the atmosphere of ancient Athens last night as Professor J. Walter Graham used slides to show the famous ruins of the area and describe the progress of archaeological excavations.
THE ACROPOLIS and the Parthenon were the subject of a number of his pictures, some showing impressive views of the ruins silhouetted against the Greek sky and others giving details of carvings and capitals of columns.
Prof. Graham of the University of Toronto and curator of the Greek and Roman areas of the Royal Museum in Toronto, was the third visiting speaker in the Archaeological Institute of America Lecture series.
William Kelly, acting dean of the KU Law School, will speak on opportunities in law at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in 411 Summerfield Hall.
Models showed the original appearance of the buildings and the probable coloring of the sculpture and friezes.
The meeting is sponsored by the Business School Council and is open to everyone interested, especially juniors.
Lecturer relives ancient Greek life
Prof. Graham showed the more commonplace aspects of ancient Greece in a series of photographs of the clearing and restoration of a small housing district, with its fountainhouse and drainage systems.
The council will sponsor other programs later in the year on graduate school and other educational possibilities after college.
"Exeavations have mainly been concerned with monumental structures," said Prof. Graham, "but we've always wanted to

know how the Athenians lived,
and this kind of work is helpful."
One picture showed an ancient Byzantine church carefully protected beneath columns supporting a modern skyscraper.
OTHER PHOTOS showed archaeologists at work removing the soil and plants that covered the ruins, and the models, diagrams and manuscripts of other archaeologists used in identifying and reconstructing the buildings.
Rats do their job
Rats and mice unable to pry open sealed boxes of fossils stored in the stadium retaliated in 1937 by chewing off the labels. Identified were the bones of the walrus, seal, deer, elk, and other fellow mammals. The original mammalian panorama on the first floor of Dyche Museum was built by three men in seven years.
