ASC Grant Will Aid Peace Corps Group
The All Student Council appropriated $100 for the Peace Corps committee in its meeting held last night.
The ASC also moved to endorse this year's Kansas Relays and tabled holdover legislation dealing with the establishment of an executive secretary for the Council and a motion defining the selection of the Council chairman.
The money appropriated for the Peace Corps committee will not be given in a lump sum but allocated as needed, with the total not to exceed the $100 limit.
Other action was the announcement that night bus service will begin on a trial basis on the first Tuesday following vacation. There will be nightly service for one-half hour each night. The time will be announced later this week.
THE ENDORSEMENT of the Kansas Relays included an acceptance of the 50-cent daily charge for students. This is the third year this charge has been necessary.
Stu Barger, Harrisonville, Mo,
senior and member of the relays
committee which runs the annual
track meet, said this sum actually
was not a charge but a "donation
to the relays which is justified by
the publicity which the event brings
to the University."
BARGER EXPLAINED that the fee would be used to bring the best possible athletes to Mt. Oread for the meet. The relays receives no money from the student activity fee.
Track Coach Bill Easton said there would be passes issued this year which would allow spectators to leave and re-enter Memorial Stadium without further charge.
Barger said that an ID card will allow a student to purchase as many tickets as desired.
THE RELAYS WILL BE held April 20-21.
Max Eberhart, Great Bend senior and student body president, reported that the next ASC meeting will feature a report from a member of the Student Court.
Eberhart explained that the function of the court would be explained and that legislation dealing with the court should be considered at that time.
The Parliament of Action, KU's proposed third political party, will meet today at 5 p.m. in the Kansas Union. Members of the General Assembly are invited to attend, although only members of parliament will vote.

A. Closs, head of the German department at Bristol University in England, said at the Humanities Lecture last night that great tragedy still exists in the 20th century despite the problems it must overcome
Murphy Hall
Mr. Closs said that although there are writers of tragedy in this 20th century, they have to overcome the great problem of dialogue. They have to "speak and write in the jargon of the 20th century" yet still create a great tragedy.
Mr. Closs defined tragedy as a "form which deals with suffering as a means of gaining knowledge."
Mr. Closs cited T. S. Eliot's play, "Murder in the Cathedral," as an example of a recent tragedy. However, he said, Eliot also had to overcome the problem of jargon.
"Murder in the Cathedral" is a great tragedy, but it "takes its life from poetic reminiscences," Mr. Closs said. Words, he said, have become ambiguous in the 20th century and no longer are as capable of transmitting the idea of tragedy.
Strong Hall
Mr. Closs said that another problem modern tragedy must contend with is that modern man has chosen to love life more than truth, and tragedy simply cannot exist under these circumstances.
He emphasized the importance of the element of human dignity if a work is to be classed as a tragedy, "Tragedy allows no just solution, but it upholds man's claim to human integrity," he said.
Fraser Hall
Mr. Closs said another barrier hindering the execution of good tragedy today is the void in the art of suspense, a blindness toward color, and a tendency to preach through literature.
Mr. Closs condemned the gentle "soft-souled hero of today's theater."
Bristol Speaker Defines Tragedy
P-T-P Plans Three Ambassador Flights
Student Union
The students will land in Stuttgart, Germany. For the first week of the tour they will be guests in the homes of West German student members of the P-t-P organization
Tentative plans for the People-to-People student ambassador flights call for three separate flights, leaving on three different weekends beginning in the middle of June.
After that week, the student ambassadors will split up into small groups to travel to various parts of Europe to continue the ambassador program.
The KU P-t-P office announced today that the money for the flight will not be kept at the KU office but will be sent to the national office in Kansas City.

He listed two prerequisite characteristics of a true tragedy. They were a play that the author, actors and audience can lose themselves in, and a play in which human dignity must be discernable even in the lowest of the plays characters.
saying that "out of such theater no tragedy could be created."
Mr. Closs said a true tragedy leaves the audience or reader in no doubt as to each character's destiny. The knowledge of that destiny makes for a tranquility found in no other type of drama.

Study Shows Inadequacy
A Governmental Research Center study of nine first class Kansas cities shows that property tax is inadequate to support city government costs.
The nine cities studied were Lawrence, Atchison, Coffeyville, Fort Scott, Hutchinson, Leavenworth, Parsons, Pittsburg and Salina.
The report states that one of the reasons the tax is inadequate was the large shifts in population in the last ten years and the recent population explosion.
Recent negotiation of defense contracts, deactivation of temporary military installations, gradual changes in tax resources and pressure from increased governmental services were also cited.
WASHINGTON —(UPI)—Dr. Edward Teller told a House space subcommittee yesterday the United States must gain control of the moon for its own security.
Teller Says U.S. Must Gain Control of Moon
The distinguished scientist, sometimes called the father of the hydrogen bomb, urged a program to establish a large, highly independent colony on the moon.
"We need the moon for our own safety," Teller said.
