Around the Campus Dean Undecided 5 Campus Thefts On ATAP Buttons Total over $500
THE ATAP buttons confiscated before the KU-MU football game are still in storage.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students, said at the time of the seizure that he planned to destroy the buttons.
In a telephone interview yesterday, he said he now "has not made up his mind about destroying them."
The buttons were seized from a group of about eight students who had planned to sell them to KU students. A spokesman for the students said then that the seizure of the buttons cost them a total of $408. The question of the legality of the seizure came up at that time.
Dean Woodruff said at the time he probably had no legal right to take the buttons.
Dale MacCallum, Kansas City senior, spokesman for the group, said in an interview today that as of now, they plan no legal action.
SUA Art Forum Today at 4 p.m.
Gerald Bernstein, assistant professor of art history, will be the speaker and guide for the Student Union Activities Art Forum, at 4 p.m. today in the Spooner Art Museum.
The show, entitled "Legacy of the Land," includes about 20 American landscape paintings, representing art from the Hudson River School (1830-48) to modern abstractions. This is the first public showing for many of the paintings.

Portuguese Offered As Education Minor
The School of Education has approved a minor in Portuguese for students majoring in French or Spanish education, which will make KU one of the few universities in the country to train high school teachers of Portuguese
The new minor will consist of five three-hour courses which take the student from the basic elements of the language through the Brazilian short story, novel and special readings.
Portuguese is recognized by the National Defense Education Act as a critical language.
All interested students are asked to contact Seymour Menton, associate professor of Romance languages, in 119 Fraser for further information.
Portuguese is the exclusive language of instruction in the language classes.

Peiping Regime Threatens India
NEW DELHI, India — (UPI) — Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told an aroused parlement today that Communist China has threatened to send troops into Indian territory. He vowed India would "resist and repel" them.
In one of the most bitter denunciations of Communist China he has ever made, Nehru accused the Peiping regime of betraying India.
He told the lower house that just two days ago Communist China had sent a warning that unless India halts its military activities on the border, Chinese troops will march into Indian territory.
The Indian leader said the warning was in reply to India's Oct. 31 note protesting Red China's aggressive moves on the Sino-Indian frontier.
NEHRU SAID HE had feared trouble was brewing shortly after India recognized Communist China's rights over Tibet.
But he said he had never expected that Communist China would commit aggression.
When Nehru said this, shouting members of parliament demanded to know why he recognized China's right in Tibet.
"We could not march into Tibet. No one in the world could stop it. The Chinese would have come there."
Nehru replied:
The prime minister said he was "completely unrepentant about the steps I took about Tibet."
"We are friendly with every country in the world." Nehru said, "But we will fight with China (to halt any aggression)."
Opposition members in parliament yesterday demanded that India break off diplomatic relations with Red China.
NEHRU SAID today that Communist China's reply to India's Oct. 31 note accused the Indians of establishing new checkpoints and increasing military activities in border areas.
Peiping's note also denied Red China violated Indian air space. It said patrols are under orders not to approach within 20 miles of the Indian border but "if Indian military activities continued, they will send their troops across the Macmahon line," Nehru said.
The Macmahon line is the boundary that was established by the British at the Simla conference in 1914. It was initialed by Chinese delegates, but was later repudiated.
YAF Focus-
(Continued from page 2) demonstration during the visit of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller at the KU-MU football game in favor of Senator Barry Goldwater.
Allen, Williamson and several other members were against the plans. They felt the demonstration would hurt YAF more than it would help. The other group continued their plans in face of the opposition.
THE GROUP HOPES to have elections sometime before the second semester. Williamson, a member of the more moderate group, said he expects the other faction to run a candidate, but he does not expect too much of a contest.
YAF has been moving slowly with the usual organizational pangs of a new club. Williamson said their membership is about 45 members at the present time.

Saipan Grave Not Amelia Earhart's
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) — An anthropologist said yesterday that human bone fragments and teeth found on the Pacific island of Saipan were not the remains of Amelia Earhart and her navigator.
Dr. Theodore McCown, professor of anthropology at the University of California, said the remains appear to be those of more than two persons. Also, they appear to be from orientals rather than caucasians, McCown said.

HUSBANDS. ANYONE?
Girls go to college for precisely the same reasons as men do; to broaden their horizons, to lengthen their vistas, to drink at the fount of wisdom. But, if, by pure chance, while a girl is engaged in these meritorious pursuits, a likely looking husband should pop into view, why, what's wrong with that? Eh? What's wrong with that?
It has been alleged that coeds go to college for the sole purpose of finding husbands. This is, of course, an infamous canard, and I give fair warning that, small and spongy as I am, anybody who says such a dastardly thing when I am around had better be prepared for a sound thrashing!
The question now arises, what should a girl look for in a husband. A great deal has been written on this subject. Some say character is most important, some say background, some say appearance, some say education. All are wrong.
The most important thing—bar none—in a husband is health. Though he be handsome as Apollo and rich as Midas, what good is he if he just lays around all day accumulating bedsores?
The very first thing to do upon meeting a man is to make sure he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance to sweet-talk you, slap a thermometer in his mouth, roll back his eyelids, yank out his tongue, rap his patella, palpate his thorax, ask him to straighten out a horseshoe with his teeth. If he fails these simple tests, phone for an ambulance and go on to the next prospect.
If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to the second most important requirement in a husband. I refer to a sense of humor.
A man who can't take a joke is a man to be avoided. There are several simple tests to find out whether your prospect can take a joke or not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or burn his "Mad" comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or turn loose his pet raccoon. Or shave his head.
After each of these good-natured pranks, laugh gaily and shout "April Fool! If he replies, "But this is February nineteenth," or something equally churlish, cross him off your list and give thanks you found out in time.
But if he laughs silently and calls you "Little Minx!" put him to the next test. Find out whether he is kindly.
The quickest way to ascertain his kindliness is, of course, to look at the cigarette he smokes. Is it mild? Is it element? Is it humane? Does it minister tenderly to the psyche? Does it coddle the synapses? Is it a good companion? Is it genial? Is it bright and friendly and filtered and full of dulcet pleasure from cockrow till the heart of darkness?
Is it, in short, Marlboro?
If Marlboro it be, then clasp the man to your bosom with hoops of steel, for you may be sure that he is kindly as a summer breeze, kindly as a mother's kiss, kindly to his very marrow.
And now, having found a man who is kindly and healthy and blessed with a sense of humor, the only thing that remains is to make sure he will always earn a handsome living. That, fortunately, is easy. Just enroll him in engineering.
