Dean Moore Will Study In Jerusalem
William J, Moore, dean of the School of Religion, will go to Jerusalem for a six-week professorial workshop.
Sponsored by New York University, a select group of professors of religion will do research into the life of the ancient Hebrews and study the history of Judaism.
Dean Moore will leave New York on July 1 for Israel. Besides visiting famous sights there, he will travel in Egypt, Greece, Jordan, and England.
After the workshop, which is centered in Jerusalem's Hebrew University, Dean Moore will spend about a week in the American School for Oriental Research in Jerusalem, Jordan.
Dean Moore feels the trip is important because "this type of research is basic to the kind of teaching that I'm involved in." ___
Writer, Teacher Traveler-All Describe Lind
By Paula Myers
Prof. L, R. Lind is a professor in Greek and Latin, who spends his professional life working in several general fields—medieval Latin, text edition; translations in Greek, Latin, Italian, and other modern languages; Renaissance Latin anatomy; and the history of Roman ideas.
Prof. Lind obtained all his degrees at the University of Illinois. For nine years he taught at a men's college in Wabash, Ind., before being brought here 24 years ago. He has been on the KU faculty since then.
HE IS A GREAT traveler who has been to various parts of the country, and world. He goes many places purely for research; he worked one summer at Harvard and one summer at Yale writing books. He also has traveled for enjoyment—Colorado, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
In 1954-1955 Prof. Lind received a Fulbright scholarship to study in Italy, where he worked in the libraries of Rome and other Italian cities. His project of research was to continue working in 15th and 16th century anatomy.
While in Europe he traveled for pleasure and business in Switzerland, France, Germany, and England. In 1959 he was invited to UCLA as a visiting professor in the history of medicine. In Bologna, Italy, he worked in libraries and published Latin works and documents. On July 1 he will go to Springfield, Va., to stay with his daughter while finishing up the second volume of the Pre-Vesalian anatomy: biographies, translations, and documents.
PROF. LIND has written short stories, poetry, and a novel. Much of the poetry has been published in several magazines: the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal, and poetry magazines.
He is trying now to get a novel published, "The Ancient Etruscans." Sometimes soon some of his short stories will be published in a London magazine called the Arena.
He has had works published in a magazine, Bottegie Goscure, which contains four languages — German, English, French, and Italian. This magazine was edited by the Princess Marguerite Caetani. Several books of poetry are in hardback and recently some have come out in paperback.
Eisenhower Backs LBJ In Foreign Aid Request
Eisenhower said the total "cannot be drastically reduced without damaging the vital interests of the United States."
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday threw his full weight behind the $3.5 billion asked by President Johnson for foreign aid.
The former president expressed his views in telegrams sent to Senate Republican leader Everett M. Dirksen, Ill., and House GOP leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind. A copy of the wire also went to Johnson.
Eerie Nighttime Silence Marks Troubled Nicosia
NICOSIA, Cyprus —(UPI)— The green line in Nicosia is an eerie, uneasy place at night.
Nothing normal moves, and the fronts of the shops and houses have a sullen, silent look. Beneath an incredible carpet of stars this capital city lies tense and still—except for the click of a rifle bolt, the barking of dogs, the occasional screech of fighting cats and the steady thump of Danish boots.
Three companies of Danish troops — 450 officers and men—patrol this line day and night, maintaining a tenuous peace between the several thousand Turkish-Cypriots and Greek-Cypriots who face each other across gunsuits sometimes not more than 20 vards apart.
THE GREEN LINE is only about 1,700 yards long, and it twists and turns from west to east across the old walled city of Nicosia, from the narrow alleys and tenement slums of the west through to the modern office blocks and shops of the east.
It is the line at which the firing halted here early in January after some of the bloodiest and most vicious fighting this island has seen.
No matter what happens anywhere else on this island the top command of the U.N. force in Cyprus keeps an

anxious and wary eye on Nicosia.
This, after all, is where the trouble first began on Cyprus and—many observers believe—this is where it may well finish, possibly with another round of bloodshed.
IT IS THE JOB of those 450 Danes in the U.N. force to see that this does not happen.
When the Danes first moved in it was to the loud applause of the bitterly anti-British Greek-Cypriots, many of whom, noting the impending marriage between Denmark's Princess Anne-Marie and King Constantine of Greece, apparently thought they would find natural allies in the Danes against the Turkish-Cypriotes.
That early enthusiasm has vanished, but it has been replaced with a healthy respect.
Just on the outskirts, which the Danes also control, they achieved and have maintained the dismantling of all fortifications around the strategic Ledra Falace Hotel.
over the green line there has not been a single major shooting incident inside the walled city.
The hotel is not only the headquarters for top officials of the United Nations and for the foreign press corps, but also the operational headquarters for the Danish contingent.
One of the Danes who maintains the peace along the line is Pvt. Mogens Thygesen, 22. A volunteer like all the other private soldiers, he serves with "C" company consisting of men from the king's foot regiment.
IT IS A RESPECT based on solid achievement. Since the Danes took
Here in a top floor room humming with radios and echoing with phone calls Col. Harald Boysen, the contingent commander, and Col. Hans Lund, his deputy, control the movements of their 975 officers and men.

walks alone, even when off duty. Orders say flatly that soldiers can only move about in pairs or, preferably, still larger groups.
Machine-gun mounted jeeps and armored cars maintain consistent patrols outside Nicosia, but the main border for the continent falls along the green line, where the Danes maintain a total of 34 posts. 23 of them inside the walled city itself.
THE MAIN FLOOR contains the nation's longest continuous panorama of North American life zones. This is also the world's largest life zone panorama.
The museum, located in Dyche Hall, houses exhibits illustrating animal and human life in bygone ages as well as that of today.
ON A TYPICAL day Thygesen spends four hours on night duty inside the walled city, two hours footpatrolling along Hermes Street — moving beneath the red shutters from which a hand grenade hurtled down on British soldiers not so long ago, one hour on observation duty in a sand-bagged upper story window and the final hour in a fixed sentry post.
BIRDS OF FOUR hundred species are encased within the walls of the second floor area (level 6).
Located on the lower floor are dioramas, mounted fossilized skeletons, restorations, time charts, and paintings to inform visitors. Several exhibits on this floor show the past animal life of the area known today as Kansas.
At 2 a.m. he goes off duty for four hours' sleep. From 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. he is on standby duty and at 9 a.m. he goes back on patrol duty again.
The mezzanine floor displays and describes man and his development through the ages.
Natural History Museum Has Top Attractions
One hour a day is his to do what he likes, except when he is rotated back to company headquarters where the free-time period is increased.
Standing in the midst of the KU campus, the Natural History Museum is an attraction worth seeing. Some students at KU have not as yet been informed of this gold mine for sight-seers, and others have not taken the time to investigate.
By Pamela Peck
However, the Natural History Museum is a principal attraction for university visitors.
The top floor of Dyche Hall and the new seven-story wing, completed in 1963, are devoted solely to research and advanced study. Approximately 200,000 specimens are stored in these areas to be made available for study and research.
Anyone who is interested in viewing an educational exhibit filled with enjoyment, is welcome to visit the Natural History Museum. Visiting hours are from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on weekdays and 1:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
It is an area where no U.N. soldier
