Jones to Give Last Humanities Talk
Newly discovered material concerning the Sumerians will be presented Tuesday, May 8, in the last Humanities Series lecture this school year by Tom B. Jones, professor of ancient history at the University of Minnesota.
Using slides from his large personal collection, he will illustrate his lecture on "The First Civilization" to be presented at 8 p.m. in Fraser Theater.
During his three-day visit to the campus, he will present two other lectures which are open to everybody. At 4 p.m., Monday, May 7, he will speak at an S.U.A. coffee in the Cottonwood Room of the Kansas Union; his topic will be "The Role of Education in the Decline of Ancient Civilization." At 7:30 p.m. the same day, he will present an illustrated lecture on "The Carthaginians" in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union; this program has been arranged by the Kansas Society of the Archaeological Institute of America.
He will also speak to classes in Greek (Homer), Hellenistic History (Greeco-Roman medicine), Art History (numismatics), Roman History (Tacitus), and Linguistics (deci-phering ancient scripts).
Prof. Jones has just received the news that his monograph, "New Light on a Dark Century," has won
the McKnight Foundation Humanities Prize-Award this year; last year, his monograph, "The Silver-Plated Age," won it.
Prof. Jones is a specialist in the history and culture of the first-known civilization which flourished in the Euphrates and Tigris valleys more than 2,500 years before Christ. Cuneiform writings, coins and other archaeological evidence show that the Sumerians developed methods of writing and reading, accounting, metallurgy, architecture, gold and silver smithing, and other arts.
Some of their walled cities, like Kish, Ur and Lagash, became ex-tremely wealthy and powerful. Our system of measuring time by seconds and minutes may be traced back to their mathematics using tens and sixties. Prof. Jones' research with Sumerian economic documents has turned up important new findings.
May Day Battle Erupts
GUATEMALA CITY — (UPI) — Troops and police battling illegal May Day demonstrators blanketed more than a square mile of downtown Guatemala City with tear gas Tuesday. Unconfirmed reports on the number of injured varied from three to eight.

Petition Opposes Stadium Expansion
A petition opposing the proposed expansion of Memorial Stadium because "the immediate result of the proposed expansion would be the destruction of the traditional Kansas Relays" is being circulated by four Templein Hall residents.
They are Charles Redfield, Setauket, N. Y., junior; Galen Irwin, Joplin, Mo., junior; Richard Weinshilboum, Augusta senior, and Jack Zinn, Shawnee Mission freshman.
Zinn said the group will be trying for a minimum of 2,000 signatures.
