The Outside World
Prison Rioters Subdued
By FRED DALY
Staff Writer
Rioting prisoners at the Missouri State Penitentiary were finally
eubdued Thursday after four convicts were killed, 30 prisoners and
three guards injured, and an estimated five million dollars damage
was caused by fire inside the prison walls.
Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers moved into the smoke
clouded prison Thursday morning and in an hour and a half stopped
the danger of any mass outbreak. The riot was confined within the
walls of the penitentiary and none of the prisoners was believed to
have escaped.
Dissatisfaction over green watermelon may have been the cause
ef the riot.
Reds Broadcast To Gl's
Russian radio propaganda is being aimed at American servicemen
stationed at the isolated air base of Thule, in northwestern Greenland,
according to the Army.
The Thule-beamed Russian radio is part of a Red propaganda
effort directed at "undermining . the American soldier's moral," the
Army says.
A new troop training pamphlet, "Defense Against Enemy Propa
ganda," is now being circulated by the Army. The pamphlets outlines
the objectives and types of Communist propaganda.
Crime To Increase
Crime in America will hit a new high this year if the present rate
continues, says J. Edgar Hoover, FBI Chief. Hoover reported Wednes
day that the crime rate for ehe first half of 1954 rose 8.4 per cent over
last year's level during the same period.
January to June of this year showed 1,136,140 major crimes com
mitted, and average of one major crime ever 13.8 seconds. That is a
total of 88,850 more than the same period in 1953. The greatest
increase was robbery with a 20.4 increase between the two periods.
Ike Attacks 'Deadly Cycle'
President Eisenhower has promised that his administration will
"avoid extremes" in developing the nation's power as he attacked the
"deadly cycle" of federal monopoly of power and other natural
resources. -
In a speech at the dedication ceremonies of the McNary Dam on
the Columbia River, the President restated his administration's basic
philosophy that the federal government should participate in power
development only to, the extent of necessity.
The President advocated a "spirit of helpfulness" to localities and
a "spirit of cooperation" with local citizens in the' matter of power
development. "It is not properly a federal responsibility to try to
supply all the power needs of our people," he said.
THE FOLLOWING GROUPS will
enter contestants: Love Memorial
Hall, Heppner Hall, Raymond Hall,
Howard Hall, International House,
Wilson Hall, Towne Club, Adelphi
and Amikita.
BABW will have the following
board members selling tickets:
president, Dottie Hamilton; vice
president, Joan Joyner, and senior
board member, Wilma French.
OTHER BOARD members sell
ing are Doris Frank, Dot Frank,
Barbara Colbert and Marlene
Hutchinson representing the junior
class. Sophomore board members
are Carol Anderson, Charlotte
Sears, Marion Janda and Ellen
Jacobsen.
The idea for the dance originated
in 1943 as a service for soldiers
stationed at the Lincoln air base.
After the war BABW sponsored
the dance as an annual event. This
year will be the twelfth year the
BABW queen has been chosen.

Ceylonese Student Brightens
Campus By Wearing 'Sari'
Mother Of Two Tells Of Communism
One of the new faces at the
University is a young undergradu
ate student and mother whose
native dress, the brightly colored
sari," gives the campus a touch
of internationalism.
Mrs. Chandra Dissanayaki, who
came from her home in Ceylon on
a $500 Cooper Foundation Scholar
ship for one year, will take under
graduate work in home economics
on Ag Campus.
The. Ceylonese mother of two
children, who thinks Americans
are "very friendly," attended
school at the Lady Irwin College
for two years in New Delhi, where
she received her home-science
diploma. Later she taught home
sciences at the Vis"akha Vidyalaya
School at Colombo, the capital of
Ceylon.
Mrs. Dissanayaki described Cey
lon as an island with large beaches
and palm trees. Sixty-five per cent
of the people, including Mrs. Dis-
canayaki, are Buddhists. Ceylon's
large population in proportion to
lis size has created a housing and
food problem there, she said.

Students From Abroad
Mrs. T. B. "Chandra" Dissan
ayake from Ceylon, right, at
tired in a sari, leaves the ad
ministration Building with two
friends, also foreign students at
tending the University. They are
Radwan Bekowich, engineering
student from Jordan and Lichu
Chew, math senior from China.
CEYLON has " two political
parties, the United National Party
and the Communist Tarty. The
National Party .is in control of
most of the offices, she said, and
added that she did not think Cey
lon will ever become communistic.
Mrs. Dissanayaki described the
Ceylon University, the only uni
versity in Ceylon and considered
the best in the East. The univer
sity, which is completely styled
after ancient Kany art, provides
free college education for 4000
resident students.
ADMITTANCE to the university
is by competitive examinations,
Ceylonese students who expect to
enter the University take two
years of pre-university work to
prepare for the examination. An
unusual difference between the
Ceylon University and American
universities, she pointed out, is
that the Ceylonese student who
fails three tests in any subject is
dropped from school and cannot
re-enter under any circumstances.
An' internal problem in Ceylon
today, she said, is that of Indians,
who under British rule were im
ported to Ceylon to open up the
country's industries, including
Copra, tea and rubber.
-
THESE INDIANS settled down
in Ceylon, she said, but their loy
alty has stayed with India. Now
India wants Ceylon to give these
people citizenship, including voting
rights, which in some areas would
put Indians into public office, '
We want no nation to dictate
to us within our country," Mrs.
Dissanayaki said.
After she returns to Ceylon, she
will open her own resident finish
ing school for girls. She plans to
train each girl in keeping a home
of the poor class, the middle class
and the wealthy class.
Mrs. Dissnayaki's husband is
a lawyer in Ceylon. Her children
are a girl Chandina, who is three,
and a boy, Tilak Bandra, who is
nearly two.
The $1000 Charles Stuart Grad
uate Fellowship was given to Ar
lan Dale Woltermath. Howard L.

Richard Gentry, a student i n
Medical College, received the
$1500 C.W. Poynter Foundation
Fellowship. Another $1500 award
was given to Alistair W. McCrone
of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
This scholarship was given in
