May Allract

500 Scholars

Speaking to a dinner meeting
the Joint Alumni Council of
Kentucky. Dr. Dickey said such a
system should be developed to replace "our present haphazard, unsystematic one."
He said the qualifying examinations should test all students at
least twice during their precollege
schooling once at the ninth grade
level and again at the 12th.
Such a system of identifying
talent early enough should be established to permit us to direct it
into the proper channels, Dickey
added.
The president said the provisions
of the National Defense Education
Act provide a good beginning for
such a program.
"We must be careful to see that
the early promise of the act is fulfilled. We cannot afford the loss of

Sipple said the conference will be divided into

Student Congress, what areas SC can move into,
and how it can do more effective work.

in the first session, the assembly will divide into

Maurice D. Ben net, executive

group that the college alumnus

from lower levels of

four groups to discuss problems assigned to them.
Each of the four discussion groups will discuss
their assigned topics and arrive at a conclusion
on how to eliminate the existing problem. A recorder from each group will then read the proceedings
of his discussion group to the assembly as a whole.
After the second session the assembly will have
an evaluation session. From the solutions proposed
by the assembly the Executive Committee will determine a concrete policy for SC to follow in the
future.
Sipple has outlined 13 existing problems confronting Student Congress. Included in the list to
be discussed tomorrow are:
relaStudent apathy, University-communition, University-stat- e
relations, student participation in SC. raising high school standards, academic
standards and admission requirements, and how
SC can help the University get more scholarships
and grants from industry.
Sipple said the only outlet for student gripes
now is the Readers' Forum in the Kernel.
Sipple said SC has been "floundering in darkness without an overall policy objective."
The conference, he said, will light the way to get

J. M. Dodson, executive secretary

"If schools by 1970 are going to
cost $32 billion or more, states in
the south, or probably most of the
states in the nation, cannot com
close to providing a program of
education that is desirable," ho
said.

All Grades

Will Be Out

Next Week
Students whose last namef
begin with the letter T through
Z will not receive their
grades until next week.
The delay is due to a shortage
of grade forms which are necessary
for the processing of grades
through the IBM machines.
David A. Sheets, director of of
fice of Machine Statistics re
futed the rumor that the delay
was caused by an IBM machine
break-dow-

n.

"I don't know how it got started.
The machine didn't break down.
We just ran out of forms. The
forms are now on order and the
rest of the grades should be out
next week, he said.
Such rumors have spread several times before, according to Dr.
Charles F. Elton, Dean of Admis-sio- ns
and Registrar.
"Our machines have never broken down when they were needed,
such as at the time when grades
come out. People have to doubt
the competency of somebody when
something like this happens; so
they blame the machines," he said.

Ilia Issue About Tissue

Kceneland Hall Women Rebel Against Toilet Paper
By MIKE FEARING
Thursday News Associate

"We want Northern," rose a
cry from Keeneland Hall
Wednesday night as several
dozen rolls of toilet tissue were
hurled from the second, third,
and fourth floor windows.
Within minutes the front of the
dormitory was fluttering with long
strips of tissue; the two bare trees
looked like they hud been tinsiled
for Christmas and the shrubs
seemed to be heaped with snow.
The display began about 12:15
a m. In rebellion at the "sandpaperlike" tissue that had been lecent-l- y
put In about 75 bathrooms of
the dormitory.

Miss Dixie Evans, director of wo
men's residence halls, said there
will be no disciplinary action. She
and Dr. Doris 14. Seward, dean of
women, met at noon yesterduy
with a large group of Keeneland
Hall women who participated la
the demonstration to discuss the
matter.
Dean Seward said late yesterday
that she hud asked that all rolls
of this type of tissue paper be removed from the women's residence

She explained that because of a
luck of communication between
staff members and the Keeneland
Hall residents the complaint about
the tissue was not known.
Minutes after the display began,
a small group of women marched
from the front door of the building with instructions to gather up
the strips. The job became almost
impossible as a vigorous wind picked up the strips and lifted them
high into the air.
With little effort on the part of
several of the women, the group
began gathering the dancing tissue to the song of "Party Poopers"
coming from Patterson Hall.
Scurrying back and forth, the
women chafed the tissue down the

street, dug it out from behind
bushes, and even attempted to pull
it off the trees.
The campus police arrived when
the first stiips fluttered down from
the building and stood by watching
the women try to gather the paper.
Several times they hurried up to
Harrison Street, which runs adjacent to the east end of the building,
to block cars filled with curious

spectator.
Although most of the paper wa
gathered and piled on the dormitory porch by 12:43 a.m. and the
campus police had driven away,
the women began throwing more
gobs of paper.
Again a small patrol marched
from the dorm and cleaned up the
tissue. All was quiet by 1:30 am.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Friday, April II,

Eichmann Rests While Israelis Remember
name hat always will mean death
Auscnwitz, the grim camp in Poland reportedly personally selected by Eichmann as the first center
to use gas for the mass extermination of Jews.
The day-lon- g
ceremonies brought
a halt to the Eichmann trial which
opened Tuesday. Only a handful
of bystanders paused outside the
community center where the trial
resumes tomorrow.
The proceedings ended Wednesday with Israeli Attorney General
Gideon Hausner defending this
country's riht to try the former
Gestapo leader. Hausner will take
at least an hour to conclude his
plea when the trial reopens.

JERUSALEM, April 13
(AP) "All the massacres of
history arc overshadowed by
the disaster" brought upon the
Jewish people by Naziisin, Culture Minister Abba Eban said
today, a day of rememberancc
for those w ho passed down "the
corridors of Hell" Adolf Eichmann helped to create.
Just three miles from the building where Eichmann Is imprisoned,
his trial In recess for the day, Israeli government officials met
a stark stone and concrete
mausoleum containing the ashes of
Xazi Concentration Camp victims.
There, atop a hill overlooking
he loping valley of Ain Karem
birthplace of John the Baptist
vhe victims were laid to final rest
this morning.
At sunset, President Izhak Ben-Z- vi
led government and diplomatic
officials In a special program of remembrance.
Abba Eban, Israel's former ambassador to Washington and new
IMinister of Culture, pleaded that
the horror wrought by Eichmann
and other architects of Nazi Germany's "final solution to the Jewish problem" not be forgotten.
"If Israel has any single duty, it Is
not to let the world forget the most
awful event in human history,"
ban said. "There Is a tendency to
chase from the heart the memory
cf the holocaust. But memory is
the father of conscience.
"To preserve the memory of this
martyrdom and to combat oblivion

our duty to those who perished
and even more to those who survived. How can we not mourn
rs
those who passed through the
of Hell?"
As Eban spoke to a crowd of
several thousand, floodlights bathed the mausoleum in light and
pointed up the slopes of Har Hazi- -

Between

all over again in, of all

places, Charleston, S. C, where the
first guns of that terrible conflict
.sounded almost exactly 100 years ago.
As in the war of a century ago,
racial issues led to the flare up and
Northerners found themselves angrily
demanding that the President replace
a general. This time, however, it was
not a McClellan, Burnside, or Hooker
whose replacement was demanded; it
was a Grant Ulysses S. Grant III,
grandson of the Civil War general
and chairman of the National Civil
War Centennial Commission.
The vice chairman of the New
Tersev Centennial Commission de
manded Tuesday that President Kennedy remove Gen. Grant from the
post and accused the general of "pathetic mismanagement" after Grant refused a New Jersey request for an
oportunity to answer a banquet
speaker who had criticized the state's
racial practices.
'
Tuesday's verbal battle came after .
a Saturday Evening Post editor
charged at a centennial banquet that
"racial prejudice and discrimination
in New Jersey are such that it takes
amazing effrontery for its politicians
to rebuke any other state or com

munity upon any circumstance or
pretext."
We can neither approve nor disapprove of the speaker's remark, nor
do we feel that such remarks are,
in themselves, of central importance
in this dispute. We can only feel regret that the Civil War Centennial
celebration has, in spite of the circuslike hoopla surrounding it, already
returned to the bitter and unreconcili-abl- e
conflict of philosophies that
marked the war it is to commemorate.
It seems that the centennial will
accomplish little more than to open
the scars of the split that hundreds
of thousands of Americans shed their
blood and gave their lives to close.
It is unfortunate that some choose
to disregard the sacrifice made by
those brave men on a thousand nameless fields and again unearth the
bleached
bones of intersectional
strife buried 96 years ago at Appomattox Court House and Raleigh,
N. C, when the last two large gray-cla- d
armies laid down their arms and
went home, United States citizens
again.
We can only hope that they did
not die that others might restore the
conflict while planning a tinseled
celebration of the cause of their
deaths.

THE READERS' FORUM
Corrects Titles
To The Editor:
I appreciated very much the fair
and interesting write-uthat your
paper gave my talk on March 30
regarding "Christianity and Communism in Today's World." However,
I would like to give the correct titles
of the two books to which I referred: "Christianity and Communism
Today" by John C. Bennett, 1960,
and "Today's Isms" by William
195S. (The dates are important because these are both second editions.)
The title with which these were
confused in your paper is that of an- omer hook: creative society, oy
John Macmurray, ca. 1930.
Many thanks.
Lewis Smythe
P.S. The write-uto which I refer
was in your issue of Friday, March
31, page one, to the right of the pretty
Easter "bunny."

Committees Com mended
To The Editor:
Too many times people deserving of recognition for outstanding
work go unrewarded except for the
personal satisfaction they receive
from knowing they did their job well.
I want to single out some individuals
who this year have helped IFC work
more closely than at any time in its
recent history. They are the executive
committee composed of Dick Wallace, DTD, vice president; Bill Cott,
AGR, secretary; and Kenny Rosenberg, ZBT, treasurer; the judicial committee with Ed Thomas, DTD, chair

State authorities would run up
against no end of frustrations in trying to enforce the 3.2 law, for it
would seem that if bcT came in
powdered form (the way instant coffee does), one could mix his beverage as weak or strong as he liked.
In fact, it would even be possible to
only slightly moisten the beer and eat
it like pudding.
No doubt other problems would
develop we can just imagine the
chaos that would develop if several
cases of the powdered brew were
clumped into the City Park pool or
the gold fish pond near the Union.
And why would manufacturers
stop at instant beer? In the not too
distant future we foresee instant
cocktails. Grocery shelves may one
day be graced by jars of olives, w hich
when added to water will produce instant martinis as dry or as wet as
you care to make them.

Russian Space Victory

By ALTON

P.LAKHSLEE

Associated Press Wriicr
NEW YORK In an awesome,
daring, and thrilling ride, a Soviet
astronaut has just turned a momentous page in human history.
For, says Moscow, he has realized
the ancient human dream of vaulting into space and safely back home
again.
Still ahead, but closer now, lies
the goals of leaping to the Moon
or Mars, or beyond, in the space
ocean of so many tantalizing mysteries.
Human exploration of space may
well reap untold and surprising new
benefits for all people. Or space
could become, perhaps, just an extended arena for the political-militartestings of men since history
began.
Russia is first, apparently as the
calresult of a careful
culated to seize this prize.
It is another triumph in rapid-fir- e
Teachings which have skimmed
much of the glory of firsts in the
young space age. Most western experts conceded her edge, as in a race
between one man standing beside the
water, and another dozens of yards
away.
This is the first
by a
doughty pioneer. But space beckons
many more Russian, American, and
other space astronauts, to till a fertile
new field which now lies open.
The world will read with interest
Maj. Yuri Gagarin's eyewitness account of what he felt, what he may
have seen of the earth rolling beneath him, or perhaps stars in diamond brilliance in the blackness of
toe-ste-

man; Dick Watkins, Triangle; Rex
Bailey, PGD; John Kirk, SAE; and
Fred Schultz, PKA; the rush committee chairmanned by Bill Sprague,
SAE, and assisted by Stu Riley, LXA;
Lauren Fleischmann, PSK; and Bill
Cooper, SPE.
Each of these committees has
worked hard during the past year and,
I feel, deserve some thanks for a
job well done. When something
needed to be done each committee
was ready to do its job, and they
stepped in and did the job. To each
of these men I want to say "Thank
you" for a job well done.
May the new officers have the
continued support of all fraternity
men as we have had this year.

And if the new brew really gets
Mpular, we might have to show our
IDs to purchase a glass of water at
the local establishments.

It has been reported that a Milwaukee firm his recently perfected a
product known as "instant beer,"
which it intends to market.
Before dismissing this latest in a
long series of "instants" with a grin
and a "my, my, what won't they think
of next?," let us consider some of
the serious implications this revolutionary form of alcoholic beverage
might have on our SUI, Iowa City,
Iowa existence.
The local question foremost in
our minds is: What affect would
Iowa City water have on the taste
intended for the minute-sud- s
by its
producers? Would the water taste
better mixed with powdered lager,
or would the beer's taste be distorted
by that distinctive tang associated
with the city's taps.
But assuming that instant leer
does engender a large following
among SUIowans, contemplate for a
moment the increased possibilities for
imbibing (without getting caught)
within the confines of the students'
own University approved housing
unit. Surely double or triple shifts of
proctors would lure to be retained
to catch violators of this
University rule.

space.
Upon his experience depends,
partly, the question how soon other
men go up, and how far. Is space
perhaps too . hazardous are there
cTaners which had not been foreseen?
The Soviets gave clear notice of
their push for manned flight back
in November, 19)7, with Sputnik II.
It carried up the clog, Laika. She
perished, with no attempt made to
recover her.
But this was the first testing
whether a living body could with

stand the unknowns of crushing, inr
creased weight of rocket take-off- ,
and
the weightlessness of floating in
space. And whether life truly could
be suported against the hazards of
radiation and streaking meteors.
To these fpiestions, Laika
"yes."
Some space experts think Russia
had started a good two years eailier
in preparing thp way for man into
space, anil other exploits.
All give her unquestionably the
advantage of tremendously powerful
Ixiostcr rockets to lift heavy, and
roomy, satellites.
Some say Russia was qu
