Peace Union Leader To Speak at Forum
A representative of an organization which advocates unilateral action towards disarmament by the United States will speak at the Minority Opinion Forum at 4 p.m. Friday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Peter Allen, national field secretary of the Student Peace Union (SPU), will speak about student demonstrations in Washington, D.C., in mid-February. The SPU was one of the organizations sponsoring the demonstrations.
A PAMPHLET PUBLISHED by SPU said the February demonstrations were staged "to protest the cold war policies of both power blocs."
Larry Laudan, Lawrence graduate student and SPU member, said a KU chapter of the organization may be formed if enough students show interest at the Friday meeting.
He said a few KU students belong to SPU but that the nearest chapter, as far as he knew, is at the University of Colorado.
LAUDAN EXPLAINED that SPU does not require its members to believe in any particular method of avoiding war. It encourages study and discussion of the issues and participation in "action" functions such as the Washington demonstration.
"All that a student has to believe when he joins the organization is that war is no longer the way that is successful in solving world problems," Laudan said.
"Politically, it doesn't align itself with either party or with right- or left-wing organizations," he said.
He said SPU does not identify it- self with partisan politics and its membership "cuts across liberal and conservative lines."
HE SAID THE NATIONAL organization has urged that the United States take unilateral steps to release cold war tensions and that efforts be made to find a way this country could get along on a peace budget.
SPU also has opposed the House Un-American Activities Committee, the resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere, and Central Intelligence Agency recruiting on college and university campuses.
Each campus chapter is virtually autonomous, however, and is not bound to the policies expressed by the national organization, Laudan said.
P-T-P Lending Library Still Growing; Has 1500 Books
THE INTERFRATERNITY Pledge Council with the help of sorority and Panhellenic Council members, is collecting the books from organized houses and storing them in a temporary headquarters at 776 North 2nd St.
Jerry Harper, Wichita sophomore and chairman of the Interfraternity Pledge Council said, "Fortunately, most of the books we have collected so far have been textbooks."
About 1500 books are now in the growing foreign student lending library being established by KU People-to-People.
Lovell (Tu) Jarvis, chairman of KU P-t-P, said, "We are glad to have any kind of books, but we would prefer to have hardbacks rather than paperbacks. So far most of the books collected have been hardbound books."
BOOKS FROM INDIVIDUAL students are being collected on campus at the information booth on Jayhawk Blvd. The books needed most are the ones still used in classroom instruction, but books no longer used at KU will be sent overseas through the KU-Y overseas book program.
L. Don Scheid, assistant professor of wind and percussion, will present a clarinet recital at 8 p.m. today in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Accompanying him will be Marian Jersild, associate professor of piano, and Karel Blaas, associate professor of string instruments, violist. Both appeared with Prof. Scheid in his recital program last year.
Scheid to Give Clarinet Recital
The Brahms work is one of two sonatas which comprise the Opus 120. Prof. Scheid performed the first of them here last year.
Prof. Scheid's recital will include the Clarinet Sonata in E Flat Major, Op. 120, No. 2 by Brahms, the clarinet concerto by Manevitch, and the Trio in E Flat Major for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano by Mozart.
After the books are cataloged, they will be moved into a permanent library location somewhere on campus in time to be in circulation by the fall semester.
There will be no admission charge. The recital will be broadcast by KANU-FM.

Thief Puts Teacher On Pancake Menu
"If it doesn't turn up soon it looks like pancakes for another two weeks," said Mrs. Muriel Austin, geology teaching assistant said Monday.
This was her philosophical view three days after her purse containing $20 in cash and an unendorsed $100 check had been taken from her office in 317 Lindley Hall between
9 and 5 o'clock last Friday.
"That $20 was my grocery money for two weeks. If this weren't bad enough, my driver's license and about 15 credit cards were taken also.
"My husband may revolt. We had to eat pancakes for two weeks before and I don't know if he can take it again."
EDUCATIONAL TV: ITS CAUSE AND CURE
A great deal of nonsense has been written about educational television. Following is my contribution;
So much for the myth that TV gives no prime time to educational programs. Now let us deflate another canard: that TV is not eager to inject intellectual content in all its programs
It has been said that television allots no desirable viewing hours to educational and intellectual programs. This is simply not so. For instance, you can see "The Kant and Hegel Hour" every day at 4 a.m. This excellent show is followed at 5 a.m. by "Kierkegaard Can Be Fun." For such lazy scaps as lie abed beyond that hour, there is a splendid program on Sunday mornings at 7:15 called "Birds of Minnesota, Except Duluth."
If you have sat, as I have sat, with a television planning board, you would know that the opposite is true. I was privileged recently to witness a meeting of two of TV's topmost program developers—both named Binkie Tattersall.
"Binkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "if there is one thing I am bound and determined, it's that we're going to have intellectual content in next season's programs."
"Right!" replied Binkie. "So let us put on our thinking caps and go to work."
"I forgot my thinking cap in Westport," said Binkie, "but I have a better notion: let us light a Marlboro."
"A Marlboro and a match," replied Binkie. "Got one?"
"But of course!" cried Binkie. "Because the best way to think is to settle back and get comfortable, and what is the cigarette that lets you settle back and get comfortable?"
"I said Mariboro," answered Binkie. "Weren't you listening?"
"A full-flavored smoke is Mariboro." declared Binkie.
"Rich tobacco, pure white filter, a choice of pack or box. What is better than a Marlboro?"
"First of all," said Binkie, "we are going to avoid all the old clichés. We will have no domestic comedies, no westerns, no private eyes, no deep sea divers, no doctors, and no lawyers." "Binkie!" said Binkie, "Something offbeat."
Binkie had, and so they lit their good Marlboros and settled back and got comfortable and proceeded to cerebrate.
"Right!" said Binkie, "Something offbeat." (The word is incorrect.)
They smoked and cerebrated.
"That's the word—offbeat," said Binkie.
Then cracked an unreadable
"You know," said Binkie, "there has never been a series about the Coast and Geodetic Survey."
"Or about glass blowers," said Binkie
They fell into a long, torpid silence.
"You know," said Binkie, "there's really nothing wrong with
a cliché situation—provided, of course, it's offbeat."
"Right!" said Binkie. "So let's say we do a series about a guy who's a family man with a whole bunch of lovable kids who play merry pranks on him."
"Yeah, and he's also a cowboy," said Binkie.
"And a deep sea diver," said Binkie.
"With a law degree," said Binkie.
"Plus an M.D.," said Binkie.
"And he runs a detective agency," said Binkie.
"Binkie," said Binkie to Binkie, "we've done it again!"
They shook hands silently, not trusting themselves to speak, and lit Marlboros and settled back to relax, for Marlboro is a cigarette not only for cerebration, but for settling back with—in fact, for all occasions and conditions, all times and climes, all seasons and reasons, all men and women. © 1962 Max Shulman
