Moos Says Military Machine Outdated
A professor of anthropology said yesterday the U.S. military system needs a major overhauling to keep up with the times and to insure meaningful military operations for the United States.
Felix Moos, who spoke at the Faculty Forum, advocated four
P-T-P Sets Two Talks
People-to-People will hold two meetings this week to continue the campaign to prepare the P-t-P student ambassadors for their summer tour of Europe.
Restrictions recently placed on the program require that tour members have a definite purpose in mind and that they familiarize themselves with problems they may encounter during the tour.
Charles Sidman, assistant professor of history, will speak on "West Germany in NATO, and American Foreign Policy in the Eyes of the Rest of Europe" at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Cottonwood and Meadowlark Rooms of the Kansas Union. A discussion period will follow the talk.
At 4 p.m. today, another travel orientation program will be held in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union. Genevieve Delaisi, Paris, France, graduate student, will direct a forum on travel in France.
The Thursday program is the beginning of the second phase of the series of P-t-P orientation programs. The second phase, titled "The Ugly American," will include programs designed specifically for student ambassadors, although they are open to anyone planning to tour Europe.

Egghead Replays Result in Reversal
Last week's loser became this week's winner in a special College Bowl rematch yesterday as Stephenson Hall whipped Sigma Nu, 220-135.
Sigma Nu won the original match, 150-140, in the second round of College Bowl competition April 15. However, the two teams registered a joint protest, stating that time had expired in the regularly-scheduled contest when Sigma Nu was permitted to answer a bonus question which decided the match in its favor. Both teams requested a rematch.
$ ^{b} $changes in the present setup of military operations. They are:
- The National Guard system should be scrapped.
- The reserve units of the various branches of the armed forces should be scrapped.
- Moos said the reserve units of the various branches of the armed forces should be dissolved because they are "too much on part time basis" to fight for their country.
- Young men with emotional devotion to their country should take over the leadership of military operations and perhaps take over the operation of the country.
- The armed forces should become more intellectualized, making them more competent to carry on their job.
"To keep them in practice with ancient World War II equipment is a great waste of money and time," he said. "Have you ever been to one of those two-hour meetings?"
He said the "National Guard is such a sacred cow it is not touched" by criticism.
PROF. MOOS SAID the mytl. about persons joining the army for service careers because they are too stupid for anything else is "an American idea" and should be abolished.
He stressed that it is important that the gap between intellectual professions and the armed services should be breached soon because the "nation cannot afford" such a gap.
HE SAID THAT troops of lower intelligence, which is the American stereotype of Army personnel, are a poor group to represent the U.S. abroad.
"You can't have millions of GI's going abroad without having them leave some things over there after they go," he said.
The military needs emotionallyinvolved, younger men, Moas said. He also stated that in many other countries, the military leaders and the leaders of their respective nations are younger men who are dynamic in their ways. He said that one often finds 35-year-old generals who are leading their countries.
Robert Grogan, Parsons graduate student, will present his Master's recital in organ at 8 p.m. today in Hoch Auditorium.
He will play "Prelude and Fugue in G Minor" by Buxtehude, "Variations on 'Under the Green Linden Tree'" by Sweelinck, "Toccata and Fugue in C Major" by Bach, "Prelude on the Welsh Hymn Tune 'Bryn Calfaria'" by R. Vaughn Williams, "Chromatic Study on the Name of Bach" by Walter Piston, and "Toccata" by Leo Sowerby.

Master's Recital Set for Tonight
Grogan received his Bachelor of Music degree "with distinction" from KU last year. He studied with L E. Anderson, professor of organ and theory.
A $400 set of the Encyclopedia Americana will be awarded the winner of the Delta Sigma Rho public affairs speaking contest. Preliminaries will be held at 4 p.m. next Tuesday in Bailey Auditorium and finals will be at 8 p.m. next Wednesday in the same place.
Any student desiring to enter the contest may do so by registering at 116 Strong Hall through Monday. Speeches must concern an important public issue and must be approximately 10 minutes long.
"We're fairly certain now that the spacecraft will make a lunar impact," Cummings said. "It appears very likely the Ranger will be caught in the moon's gravitational pull and score a hit."
The spacecraft, launched aboard a 10-story Atlas-Agas rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., Monday, was expected to plunge into the dark side of the moon at 7:50 a.m. Thursday and be destroyed.
THIS, HOWEVER, WAS not considered likely by Clifford I. Cummings, lunar program director for Caltech's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL), which now is tracking the Ranger-4.
beep-beeps from the Ranger were being monitored by a giant antenna, estimated the spacecraft would cover three-quarters of its journey by the end of today--about 7 p.m.
As it clung to its "impact" course, scientists grew more confident it would boomerang into the far side of the moon tomorrow morning for a "tremendous guidance success."
PASADENA, Calif. — (UPI) — The Ranger-4 spacecraft, approaching the last reaches of its lunar voyage, appeared "fairly certain" today to score America's first hit on the moon.
But the spacecraft still could make a near-miss, circle around the hidden backside of the moon and return to the earth's atmosphere Sunday night to disintegrate into a "flaming comet."
TONIGHT, IT WAS expected to complete nine-tenths of the distance where the pull of lunar gravity would increase its velocity toward an impact speed of 6,000 miles per hour.
If the spacecraft remains on its present trajectory, scientists said it would "graze" the leading edge of the moon by about 900 miles and curve in, under the pull of lunar gravity, for the collision.
"But we'll still be able to determine whether it crashes," a JPL spokesman said. "If it goes behind the moon and doesn't come out on the other side, we'll know it made impact."
Once it is behind the moon, the Ranger-4 will lose radio contact with the earth for lack of line-of-sight communications.
