New Exchange Program To Supplement P-T-P
By Bob Hoyt
Three KU students and a Lawrence resident are attempting to establish another student educational and cultural exchange program as a supplement to the People-to-People organization.
The proposed program is to be called PEACE — Program for Educational And Cultural Exchange. It is backed by Martin Arlinsky, Lawrence graduate student; Brian O'Heron, Lawrence, and Charles Menghini, Pittsburgh seniors, and Denis Kennedy, Da Laoghaire, Ireland, Lawrence resident.
MEMBERS of the organization have discussed the program with members of the university administration, and are proceeding with organizational plans.
James Murray, Leawood sophmore, and chairman of the P-t-P student ambassador flight program, is acting as liaison between P-t-P and PEACE.
Francis Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and chairman of the committee on International Educational Affairs, says, "The program is not a part of the University of Kansas, and will have no relation to the University."
Arlinsky stresses that PEACE is in no way in competition with P-t-P. "or any other existing student exchange program."
ACCORDING to Kennedy, the charter flight regulations under which P-t-P operates excludes those who will comprise the membership of PEACE.
He says that, "The PEACE program is intended to accommodate seniors, graduate students and staff members who are not eligible to take part in the P-t-P student ambassador program."
In discussing the purpose of PEACE, Arlinsky said, "It will be set up to augment the P-t-P program, and perhaps to provide personnel to do research into the effectiveness of the various P-t-P programs."
Foreign Students Argue Colonialism
Hope, but little optimism, summed up the tone of the English style debate which ran the gamut of world affairs last Friday night.
The debate: "Resolved: That Colonialism Should be Ended by Force." was sponsored by the International Club.
THE VOTE after the debate to determine the stand of the International Club was 23 to 17, with 12 abstentions, not to end colonialism by force.
"It is not an issue of whether or not force is effective," Raja Naib, Jhelum, Pakistan, graduate student said. "We must find peaceful, reasonable and mutually satisfactory methods of settling international disputes, or all we will have left of this world is sand, ashes and sick people."
Naib and Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika, Africa freshman, took the negative side. Denis Kennedy, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, Lawrence resident, and Luis Mayor, Placetas, Cuba junior, took the affirmative side, with Brian Cleave, Sussex, England, graduate student, acting as moderator.
The mood of the evening ranged from the jovial — when Kennedy's digressions into Irish history and allusions to English aristocracy brought titters from the audience — to the deadly serious, when Naib's eloquent pleas for reason and peace brought home the deadly seriousness of the things under discussion.
KENNEDY, OPENING THE DEBATE for the affirmative side, defined Colonialism as "anything which suppresses self-determination" and spoke of the necessity of using force against colonialism.
Housemother Hurt At Spring Formal
Mrs. Thomas Clark, housemother of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, was injured in a fall Saturday night while chaperoning a dance at the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Her condition today following x-rays was described as good.
At the dance, Mrs. Clark was walking beside an artificial pool when a section of nearby decorations fell and struck her. In falling, her head struck the side of the pool.
She was admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where several stitches were taken in a laceration resulting from the blow.
"It is always force which brings colonialism to an end," he said, "because those who have wealth and power are never willing to give it up."
He said that the colonies of England have served as "game preserves for the British aristocracy — a good place to shoot tigers, but not a good place to raise children.
"Colonial empires are composed of men at the top, generally called statesmen, who are usually gentlemen," he continued. "On the lower levels are the hatchet men who must do the dirty work in order to maintain the empire."
HE ALSO SAID that there has never been a case of colonialism being ended without force — a point later refuted by Naib, who pointed out that England has ended her colonial holdings in India and Pakistan by peaceful means.
He suggested that the U.N. has had no real chance to prove how effective it can be in settling world disputes and added that "it is our own selfishness and unwillingness to trust an international organization which sometimes has made the U.N. ineffective.
"There is no universally accepted definition of Colonialism in 1962. It can take many forms—religious, economic or political."
Naib said that he believes that there are still men with enough "imagination, understanding and intelligence that it is possible for two opposing sides to settle disputes peacefully.
Naib, who took the main speaker's position for the negative said:
"People must realize that their problem is to attack the vested interests in the colonial countries, and quit blaming imperialism, colonialism or the U.N." Naib said.
"The answer lies in developing confidence. It is a problem common to all men. By force, you only sow seeds which grow into bigger problems."
"VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOI- lence," he said. "It has reached the point that it is insane to think we should settle disputes by force."

Mayor, speaking for the affirmative side, said that he is something of a pacifist, but that "anyone who believes that Colonialism will be end-
PEACE is proposed as an associate member of P-t-P, but will not be under the control of P-t-P. The present members hope to enlarge PEACE into a national organization
ARLINSKY will go with the P-t-k student ambassador flight to Washington in June, to meet with Civil Aeronautics Board and State Department officials in an effort to secure governmental approval of the program.
He will go from Washington to Brussels with P-t-P, and will spend three weeks in Moscow to explore the possibilities of a summer student program in Russia.
Kennedy, O'Heron and Menghini will stay at KU to co-ordinate the pilot program from reports which Arlinksy sends back from Europe and Russia.
Arlinsky is the only member of the proposed new organization who will travel abroad this summer. If the organization is established, PEACE hopes to have its members at work by the summer of 1963.
PLANS ARE for PEACE members to have a choice as to whether they want to stay in one certain place during the summer, or participate in a tour such as the P-t-P student ambassador program.
PEACE members would either take summer jobs in a foreign country, or enroll for study in some educational institution, if they decided not to participate in a tour.
Stephenson Tops In College Bowl
The Stephenson Hall College Bowl team won the right to represent KU against Missouri in an interstate College Bowl Contest by whipping Joseph R. Pearson in the final round of play yesterday. 265-145
The semi-final rounds, also played yesterday, saw Stephenson edging Beta Theta Pi 205-190, while Joseph R. Pearson beat Phi Delta Theta, 295-270.
Plans have been completed by the KU College Intermediary Board and the Missouri Student Union Activities committee for the KU-Missouri contest, which will be held at 3 p.m. May 20 in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The final round of the College Bowl Contest at Missouri will be played on Wednesday, May 10, to determine who will represent that University.
Kansas and Missouri will each submit 20 tossup questions and 15 bonus questions which will be separated with consideration of categories and mixed together before the match begins.
Rules for the contest will be drawn up by both sides and combined before the match.
Charles Anderson, Osage City senior and Board chairman, said:
Selection of a moderator, however, which will be the task of the host committee, presents a problem to the KU College Intermediary Board.
The match will last 30 minutes.
"We are trying to get someone who is detached from the University as moderator for the match. We think this would be the best plan in that there would be no partiality shown to either school."
Anderson said, however, that the Board has "no leads yet" regarding the selection of a moderator.
Weather
Clear to partly cloudy today through tomorrow with a few mostly nighttime thunderstorms. Warmer. Highs today 89s. Lows tonight around 60. Highs tomorrow 85 to 100.
Vaclav Mudroch
"I was so surprised . . . I had no idea."
Mudroch Gets HOPE Award
The only faculty award presented by KU students was given to Vaclav Mudroch, assistant professor of history, this morning at the Senior Coffee.
It is the Honor for the Outstanding Progressive Educator (HOPE) award, and is given annually to the full-time faculty member who has made the greatest contribution to the welfare of his students and the prestige of the University during the year.
The selective committee consists of seniors chosen by the deans of the various schools of the University.
The nominations are made by seniors on the following factors:
· Willingness to help students
- Success in stimulating students or challenging the students toward thinking
- Devotion to profession
- Contribution to general cultural life of the University
- Publications and creative work are considered, but not to the extent that the contributions to the students are.
PAST RECIPIENTS of this award which was initiated by the class of 1959 are Clayton Krehbiel, associate professor of music education and choral director; Ray Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, and Allen Crafton, professor emeritus of speech and founder of the speech department.
Prof. Mudroch received a cash award of $100 and an engraved desk set.
Prof. Mudroch is a native of Czechoslovakia. He received a degree from Dr. Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovokia in 1949; his B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1954; his M.A. from the University of Toronto in 1956, and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1960.
One of his former students, Judy Throm, Shawnee Mission senior, who has had him for three courses said, "He is very helpful. I have had him both as an instructor and as an adviser, and whenever I don't have confidence in myself, he'll give it to me."
He joined the KU faculty in 1958 as an instructor and became an assistant professor in 1961. He specializes in medieval history.
Nancy Borel, Falls Church, Va., junior, and another former Mudroch student agreed, saying, "The thing that impressed me the most was that he knew the entire class by memory the first day and could name everyone in the class by the second day. He never used any lecture notes."
Marty Rowe, Leawood senior, explained, "He is very sensitive to the needs of his students, both academically and personally. He is most sympathetic and understanding."
River Is Scene for New Fad As Raft Sailing Catches Hold
Another campus fad is catching hold of KU students — raft sailing on the Kaw.
Yesterday three men and two women scrambled aboard a 12x8 foot raft made of old logs and planks and pushed off on a trip "just to go as far as we could."
The group consisted of Jerry Gardner and Richard Black, both Wichita seniors, Lloyd (Buzz) Warren, Wichita sophomore, Jane Littrrell, Shawnee Mission senior, and Karen Brookfield, Kansas City sophomore.
"THE RIVER WAS SLOW. We only made it to Linwood, Kan.," explained Gardner, trying to suppress a yawn.
After the raft was finally tied up near Linwood, the group hiked to the highway to hitch a ride. Asked how far the highway was from the river, Black said, "Oh, quite a ways. We went about four miles I guess through an alfalfa field."
The crew "gave up the ship" somewhere near Linwood.
The trip is the third known in a series of river trips this semester.
BOTH TRIPS WERE launched up river between Lawrence and Topeka. Yesterday's trip began a few miles downstream of Lawrence.
As Black summed the trip up, between yawns, "It sure takes some of the dullness out of things all right."
