Eisenhower Addresses
Large Coliseum Crowd
By MARNEY BEARD

President Eisenhower had a special word Monday for Kentuckians
In the
year old category.
The President, delivering a major campaign speech to an overflow crowd of 15.000 persons at
Memorial Coliseum, said he was
glad the Kentucky legislature "had
enough sense to give this group
the right to vote."
Earlier in the day, Eisenhower
had said, in a brief talk at Blue-graField after his arrival there,
"I can't tell you how happy I am
that another state has said 'if
you're old enough to fight, you're
old enough to vote.' "
Eisenhower urged the Coliseum
crowd to elect John Sherman
Cooper and Thruston Morton to
the Senate. He urged the
of Congressman John Uobsion
and Eugene Siler and put in a
plug for the other five GOP nominees for the House of Representatives, including "that
Jones."
Wallace 'Wah-Wa- h'
The President's speech, transmitted by loudspeaker to thousands
more outside the Coliseum, was
broken up 45 times by applause as
Eisenhower repeatedly answered
Democratic attacks on his administration.
Eisenhower, calling attention to
the Republican theme of "peace
and prosperity," said the road to
secure world peace "merely began
with the Korean armistice."
"But it did begin. And there
have been no more Koreas anywhere in the world," he said.
The president said "four years,
.
ago you gave me a Job to do
to set America firmly on the road
toward peace and prosperity.
"We have come a long way in
that direction."
"But," he continued, "here are
still some who would go back to
the old road the zigzag directionless road of trial and error."
Eisenhower envisioned an Amer- 18-to-- 21

ID Cards
Recovered
Approximately 20 UK identification cards were recovered by the

student is undergoing a "very strict
discipline".

the student came into the office,
he went out again and returned
with the missing cards.

property had been approved. Williams said that the Department of
Health. Education, and Welfare is

false fire alarm at Donovan
Hall early Monday morning erupted
into what' threatened to become a
panty raid on the
women's dormitories.
The ardor of the estimated 200 to
300 raiders was quickly cooled, however, with the appearance on the
scene of a swarm of police.
The alarm was turned in to the
Lexington Fire Department at
12:54 a.m., forcing some 300 male
inhabitants of Donovan to scurry,
pajama clad, into the chill night
air.

When it became evident to the
youths that the alarm was false,
someone, apparently as a "spontaneous" move, suggested a panty
raid.
The group, after a stop at the
men's dormitory quadrangle for
added support, headed across campus for the women's residence
halls.
The crowd was reported to have
reached almost 500 at its peak, but
by the time they reached the
women's dorms, the number had
been reduced by about half.
