'Spring' is a set of wheels and a fast sidewalk
"How fast can he go to get where he's going," a slogan used for the movie, "Downhill Racer," could apply to 13 year-old Jimmy Henderson challenging the sloping campus sidewalk south of Hoch Auditorium. How fast can he go to capture the excitement and thrill of the warm weekend weather?
Jimmy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim M. Henderson, 1113 West 29 Terrace. Mr. Henderson is a KU education teaching assistant. Jimmy is a sixth grader at Broken Arrow elementary school.
SEDE BOKER, Israel (UPI) President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt must go if there is to be peace in the Middle East, David Ben-Gurion said Sunday.
Nasser must go to end Middle East conflict
"Not only will he have to go, he may not be able to stay," said Israel's first prime minister. "His position is becoming more and more critical."
The conditions for ending the Arab-Israeli conflict formed one part of a UPI interview with Bengurion in his bungalow in this Negev Desert kibbutz.
The 83-year-old leader said American supplies of jet aircraft are decisive in Israeli defense, that a Soviet drive for domination of the Mediterranean Sea is the kernel of Middle East trouble and that Israel should never surrender the Golan Heights it took from Syria nor East Jerusalem it took from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.
Ben-Gurion, asked if he thought Moscow would send troops to aid its Arab allies, said, "I don't believe they would send them now because they would be afraid of America."
"But, they will send in more and more arms and better arms and they will send in more of their officers to train the Arabs,"
he said. "This may be very dangerous."
Then what of President Nixon's current month-long consideration of sending Israel additional F4 Phantom jets to keep Arab and Israeli arms in balance?
"Jets are the decisive factor."
Ben-Gurion said. "The Six Day War was won in the first half of the first day, At noon I knew the war was won. Their Arab aircraft were destroyed."
Ben-Gurion, who retired from office in 1963, sat on an uncushioned wooden chair in the low ceilinged living room of the green bungalow. The decorations on the walls were as simple as the lifestyle of the Polish Jew who came steerage to Palestine 63 years ago in hopes of helping found Israel. There are photographs of his children and grandchildren, a painting of his late wife and a copy of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
The only other foreign politician represented on the wall is Mayor Richard J. Dalley of Chicago. A Chicago City Council resolution, signed by Dalley and hailing Ben-Gurion's 80th birthday, hangs on a nail. Ben-Gurion wore an Israeli army private's uniform without insignia "$We seen three wars and the uniform is comfortable."
Frizzell to speak
Five Kansas legislators and Atty. Gen. Kent Frizzel are scheduled to discuss pending legislation affecting KU in a nonpartisan forum on campus later this month.
The forum, which will probably feature a question-and-answer session between students and legislators, is sponsored by the Collegiate Republicans. As arrangements now stand, the forum is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 in the Kansas Union Forum Room. But the date is subject to change because of a Student Senate meeting that night, according to Larry Huffman, Erie senior, Collegiate Republicans treasurer.
The legislators are State Sen. Glee Smith, R-Larned, president pro tem of the senate; Rep. Calvin Strowig, R-Abilene, speaker of the house; Sen. Tom Van Sickle, R-Fort Scott; Rep. Richard Loux, D-Wichita, and Rep. Franklin Gaines, D-Augusta.
Relationship with Christ discussed
Building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the theme of the winter College Life Conference, Feb. 27 to March 1, at Rock Springs Ranch near Junction City.
Nearly 80 KU students are expected to attend with 350 students from across the state.
Jim Jones, staff member for KU Campus Crusade for Christ said the purpose of the conference is "to build and strengthen the students' relationships with Christ and to learn the 'hows' of Christianity."
The conference, which is sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ, will feature Dean Ballard, personnel director for World Radio Missionary Fellowship, who will speak on Christian maturity.
Jones said students who are interested in attending the conference should call a KU staff member or Gary Olander, state director for Campus Crusade for Christ.
