Korea's Military Prairie Acre Is Part Qualified to Lead Of Ancient Kansas
Korea's Military Qualified to Lead Moos Declares
The military junta governing South Korea is giving that country the most skillful leadership it has known since 1945.
This is the opinion of Felix Moos, instructor of anthropology and sociology, who has spent nearly seven years in the Far East, with the military and as a Fulbright Scholar.
Mr. Moos said that the military leaders have been schooled (mostly in the U.S.) in the modern technology that the country needs to establish a sound economy.
He told a Sunday meeting of the Faculty Club that Syngman Rhee's 12-year rule (1948-1960) was made possible more because of Rhee's ability to speak English and his U.S. education than any other single factor.
Following the surrender of Japan in 1945 the Korean people anticipated freedom and self-government, but were not trained in governmental administration after having been subjected to 40 years of Japanese rule.
Mr. Moos emphasized that he does not favor military governments as a rule, but said he felt that in Korea's particular circumstances, the military is best qualified to lead.
Further clouding the political scene was the great number of political parties. Mr. Moos said that anytime five or more men got together to discuss politics, a new party was born.
"The lack of a technically trained population stands in the way of any hopes for achieving self-government for the country as much now, as it did then," he said.
"Korea maintains an army of 600,000—the fourth largest in the world. The U.S. has expressed its faith in the country by investing $4.5 billion in foreign aid there," he said.
Birdwise
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Producer-director Otto Preminger knows how to make a picture that gets the bird.
While shooting "Advise & Consent" on location off Annapolis, Md. Preminger thought a scene aboard a destroyer would be better with seagulls in the background. But there were no seagulls.
Preminger ordered a prop man to throw a dozen loaves of bread on the water. Within a minute the birds were on hand and shooting continued.

Kansas' proposed Prairie National Park has recently aroused controversy among native residents. At KU a portion of this same prairie has been preserved but virtually forgotten for over 30 years.
"Prairie Acre," a plot of original prairie sod has never been disturbed by plow, shovel, or any other man-made device. It stands today with the native Kansas wildflowers and cottonwood tree just as it stood centuries ago when the pioneers crossed Kansas on their way west.
"PRAIRIE ACRE" has survived the Quantrill raid on Lawrence, brought and dust storms, and finally the gradual development of the Dread limestone hill into KU.
Through the years vast changes have occurred on every side of "Prairie Acre."
In 1895, 31 years after the University was organized, a site directly north of "Prairie Acre" was selected for Blake Hall, the seventh campus building to be erected.
Other adjoining ground was uprooted in 1831 for Watkins Memorial Hospital which has continued to serve as a student health service.
The building programs have broken the neighboring virgin soil, but the only change occurring on "Prairie Acre" is the annual grass burning. A lone cottonwood stands observing the industrial changes which are constantly taking place on every side.
"Prairie Acre" is marked by a bronze tablet set in Oread limestone which reads:
"THE PRAIRIE ACRE whereon is set this block of Oread limestone to mark and preserve nature's sweet fashion of making her garden, 1932."
Sneath and Sokal To Co-Author Book
A professor from England and a KU professor will collaborate on a book explaining a new method of classifying animals and plants through the use of computers.
P. H. A. Sneath, of the National Institute for Medical Research in London and Robert R. Sokal, professor of statistical biology at KU, will work together on the project, which is financed by a grant of $5.500 from the National Science Foundation. The project will deal with the classification of plants and animals by computer number according to their natural relationships. Their book will explain the principles of the new theory.
Part of the words appearing on the tablet originate from a book by Kate Stephens, a KU alumnus.
The plot of ground was set aside in 1930 by a group of alumni who wished to insure the preservation of a portion of virgin Kansas prairie.
The bronze tablet was erected in 1932 by a committee headed by Miss Agnes Thompson, one of the founders of the American Association of University Women.
A director must consider many aspects before choosing a play, said Sue Dillman, director of the current Experimental Theatre production which ends tomorrow night.
KU Director Praises Play
Miss Dillman, Independence, Mo. graduate student, said she chose to direct this play because it was well written. She added that she liked the French playwright, Gene Anouilh, "since he wrote as a playwright, and not in the literary style of a novelist."
Miss Dillman pointed out that "Antigone's" small cast, simple scenery, contemporary costumes and lighting are adaptable to the Experimental Theatre stage.
"Antigone's up-to-date theme allows a KU audience to identify themselves with the characters in the play," she said.
To Study Abroad
STANFORD, Calif. — (UPI) Candidates for master's degrees as teachers of Chinese, Japanese or German at Stanford University will spend one college year in intensive language study abroad under a new program.

TYLER, Tex. — (UPI)—One of the nation's most exclusive clubs is the Tyler Clown Club, organized about 12 years ago chiefly to train volunteer performers in the annual Tyler rose festival. It has grown to a score of members, mostly businessmen, who study circus clowns and learn enough technique to perform at benefits and hospitals.

HOW TO BE A BWOC
Ladies, let me be frank. The days of the college year dwindle down to a precious few. And some of you—let's face it—have not yet become BWOC's. Yes, I know, you've been busy what with going to class and walking your cheetah, but really, ladies, becoming a BWOC is so easy if you'll only follow a few simple rules.
The first and most basic step on the road to being a BWOC is to attract attention. Get yourself noticed. But be very, very careful not to do it the wrong way. I mean, any old girl is bound to be noticed if she goes around with a placard that says, "HEY! LOOKIT ME!" Don't you make such a horrid gaffe. On your placard put: "ZUT! REGARDEZ MOI!" This, as you can see, lends a whole new dimension of tone and dignity.
Once you have been noticed, it is no longer necessary to carry the placard. It will suffice if, from time to time, you make distinctive noises. If, for instance, every three or four minutes you cry, "Whippoorwill!" you cannot but stay fresh in the minds of onlookers.
We come now to clothes, a vital accessory to the BWOC—indeed, to any girl who wishes to remain out of jail. But to the BWOC clothes are more than just a decent cover; they are, it is not too much to say, a way of life.
This spring the "little boy look" is all the rage on campus. Every coed, in a mad effort to look like a little boy, is wearing short pants, knee sox, and boyshirts. But the BWOC is doing more. She has gone the whole hog in achieving little boyhood. She has frogs in her pockets, scabs on her knees, down on her upper lip, and is followed everywhere by a dog named Spot.
All this, of course, is only by day. When evening falls and her date comes calling, the BWOC is the very picture of chic femininity. She dresses in severe, simple basic black, relieved only by a fourteen pound charm bracelet. Her hair is exquisitely coiffed, with a fresh rubber band around the pony tail. Her
daytime sneakers have been replaced by fashionable high heeled pumps, and she does not remove them until she gets to the movies.
Finally, the BWOC, upon being asked by the cigarette vendor which is the brand of her choice, will always reply, "Marlboro, of course!" For any girl knows that a Marlboro one's hand stamps one instantly as a person of taste and discernment, as the possessor of an educated palate, as a connosseur of the finer, loftier pleasures. This Marlboro, this badge of savoir-faire, comes to you in flip-top boxes that flip, or in soft packs that are soft, with a filter that filters and a flavor that is flavorful, in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. © 1962 Max Shuiman
After the movies, at the campus cafe, the BWOC undergoes her severest test. The true BWOC will never, never, never, order the entire menu. This is gluttony and can only cause one's date to blanch. The true BWOC will pick six or seven good entrees and then have nothing more till dessert. This is class and is the hallmark of the true BWOC.
