Imaginary Jet Tour Highlights Hoch Festival
Guests at the International Festival in Hoch Auditorium Saturday were treated to an imaginary jet flight around the world, making stops at various countries to observe local wedding customs.
The next stop was an imaginary Greek island for a Greek wedding. As one of the members of the wedding party said, "The wedding itself is not much — it's the celebration afterwards..."
After a short flight from India to Israel, the passengers heard Mrs. Ruth Unz sing Israeli folk songs. She sang selections from "The Song of Songs," and other folk songs.
The show had a little difficulty getting off the ground — there was some difficulty with the lighting, but after two false warm-ups the imaginary jet headed for India where the passengers witnessed a Hindu wedding.
A stop was made in Afghanistan to hear a camel boy play a flute song to his camel, and then the plane landed in Latin America, where passengers watched the wild abandon of a Latin American wedding celebration.
"A Scale of Happiness," depicted the trials of a German lover and the opposition he met from his own and his beloved's relatives in his struggle to become a married man.
Margaret Cameron, Stirling, Scotland, graduate student, and Esmeraldino Oliverira, Pernambuco, Brazil, graduate student, acted as mistress and master of ceremonies, or stewardess and pilot of the flight.
The jet circled back to Africa for bongo and guitar music by Augustine Kyei, Ghana; Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika; and Mosobalaje Labode, from Nigeria, while Ali M'barek Mohhsine, of Morocco explained local wedding customs.
"It has been said," Bgoya said, "that there is even a little rhythm in it when we cry.
"Don't believe all you read in the papers," he said. "Those people down there in the Congo really have a lot of fun — when they stop shooting, of course."
On the final stop, Philippine students presented a native wedding celebration and dance, and then the imaginary jet returned to Hoch, an hour overdue.

"THE USE OF FORCE" he said "has been necessary since the libera ideas began to spring up in the minds of men. The colonialists feel they have the right to go there and do whatever they want. Talk is fruitless. When the time comes, the people will rebel against the colonial power."
Speaking for the negative side,
❑goya said;
"We should not forget that if one side in Angola gets the H-bomb, then the other side will say 'I have a friend across the Atlantic who will give me the H-bomb too.' In a case like this, if they clash and use the H-bomb to settle their dispute, then I in Tanganyika, will be in trouble.
"Force does not work very well. If it works at all, you have to start all over creating a new land."
Nehru Cool To Neighbors
By Phil Newsom United Press International
Of India's half-dozen next door neighbors, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru at the moment is quarrelling with two, and on cool terms with a third.
He is disputing possession of Kashmir with Pakistan.
HE IS DISPUTING with Red China about 12,000 square miles of border seized by the Red Chinese but claimed by India.
Deteriorating steadily are his relations with King Mahendra of the neighboring Himalayan state of Nepal.
The latter two situations are related and, as in the dispute with Pakistan, contain the seeds of armed conflict which neither India nor the whole of South Asia could afford.
NEPAL IS one of three small Himalayan states—Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan—and sandwiched between India and Red-Chinese controlled Tibet. India guarantees their defense and considers them within the Indian sphere of influence.
Nehru's quarrel with the 42-year-old King Mahendra might be considered a family affair except that so far as India is concerned the king lately has been showing an unpleasant independence which includes closer relations with Red China.
ON HIS SIDE, Mahendra accuses India of permitting Nepalese rebels to carry out attacks on Nepal from Indian soil.
Nehru is concerned primarily because of Nepal's agreement with Red China permitting construction of a highway between Lhasa, capital of Tibet, and Katmandu, capital of Nepal.
An April summit meeting in New Delhi between King Mahendra and Nehru failed to improve conditions.
He also is unhappy with Nepal's border agreement with Red China which ceded to the Red Chinese the northern slope of famed Mt. Everest.
BUT THE HIGHWAY is the most important.
Nepal stretches along India's northern border for 500 miles and is the guardian of India's Ganges Valley. Completion of the road will mean that Red China has pierced the Himalaya Barrier and will have an open highway to India's heartland.
Besides its strategic value, it also gives Red China an opportunity to encourage the smuggling of goods she needs from the outside world.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has awarded the KU Medical Center a grant of $35.000 to provide scholarships to graduate students studying to become teachers of the deaf.
Medical Center Receives Grant
The AWS scholarships are given in memory of University women who were killed while completing their education. Josephine Resnik and Alice Tamasi are honored this year.
Applications for the scholarships may be sent to the Medical Center. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and be interested in studying for a master's degree in hearing and speech.
Funds will be provided for 10 scholarships at $2,000 a year, plus tuition and fees for eligible graduate students. Scholarships will go to three Kansas students and to seven out-of-state students.
Over $2000 was raised this year by women through individual living group projects. The money goes into an endowment fund for future scholarships.
Three women have been awarded Associated Women Students Scholarships. They are Janice Wise, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Elizabeth R. Landolt, Moberly, Mo., junior; and Martha Shirley, Mankato sophomore.
