Steinbeck's—
(Continued from page 1)
Walter J. Meserve, associate professor of English, also termed the novelist's work sociological rather than literary.
Prof. Meserve said the author did not coincide with that of the Nobel committee. He felt that Steinbeck never again equaled the heights of "Grapes of Wrath."
"We're a little too close to the action. Perhaps we can't get the perspective," Prof. Meserve said. "Steinbeck's work had gained wider acclaim in Europe than in the United States."
PROF. MESERVE said that in an English discussion group composed to American and foreign students, the foreign students unanimously approved the Nobel committee's selection while the Americans were divided in their opinions.
Prof. Meserve said Steinbeck's work contain a paradox. He presents a twin thesis of naturalism and romanticism. While his realism borders on the pessimistic, there are parts of his work that are sentimental, if not romantic.
Robert P. Cobb, associate professor of English, described Steinbeck as a "gifted writer at his best delineating the characteristics of a class or region," Cobb said. "Grapes of Wrath" was the most accurate reflection of this era ever written."
What all men are really after is some form, or perhaps some formula, of peace.-Joseph Conrad
U.S. to Aid India-
(Continued from page 1)
ians threw back two or three attacks amid "fierce fighting" in the area but lost a military outpost and had their supply lines cut by infiltrators.
In announcing the toll of dead and missing Indian troops, a spokesman said: "It is estimated that Chinese casualties are much higher. It is our estimate that in the last 10 days in all areas there have been between 2,000 and 2,500 dead or missing," the spokesman said in reference to Indian casualties.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT of U.S. aid came shortly after Ambassador John Kenneth Galbraith met with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and gave him a letter from President Kennedy expressing "fui sympathy and support by the United States for India's present situation."
Informed sources said they expected urgently needed infantry equipment would begin arriving from the United States by the end of next week.

specific accomplishments of the committee for the year.
Another plank was based on the student's need to be educated on the internal workings of the government, Whitman said. The plank continues to support the Student Political Education program which UP created this fall. The plank states:
"We feel that the training one can receive in political responsibility in a campus setting can be invaluable..."
THE PLANK FURTHER charges that "certain political parties" have used the ASC as an "exclusive club to which entrance is gained at the whim of party power politics."
Another plank proposes that the ASC limit its concern to issues didactly effecting the students of KU.
Whitman said that the plank referred to a letter prepared and sent by the ASC to the University of Mississippi concerning the entrance of James Meredith to the University.
ONE PLANK SUPPORTS the College Intermediary Board in its efforts to establish a Big Eight College Bowl competition and an improved system of senior enrollment.
Other planks support the Human Rights Committee, the investigation of "further sources of revenue for Student Loan Funds, allocation of ASC funds to each class and full cooperation between Greeks and Independents."
After rewriting the platform, Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission junior, submitted the platform for publication last night.
