Campus Republicans Want Ike, Democrats Split
President Eisenhower would run against Adlai Stevenson in the coming presidential election—if it were left up to the 20 students polled Friday.
Ten Republicans and ten Democrats were asked whom they would support in their respective primaries.
There was little question as far as the Republicans were concerned. All 10 want President Eisenhower, two of them without Richard Nixon. The others believe either that Mr. Nixon is a good partner for like or that the President's heart is strong enough so it doesn't matter who the vice president is.
Democrats' Choice Even
Democrats Choose Even Democratic choices were more evenly balanced. Six chose Mr. Stevenson while four want Estes Kefauver. Those backing Mr. Kefauver said that Mr. Stevenson would probably follow the path of Republican candidates who tried to oust the late Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mr. Stevenson had been defeated before, and his chances are not as good a second time, they argue.
As usual, the Republicans pointed with pride at the administration's foreign policy while Democrats viewed it with alarm.
Mr. Stevenson's advocates, however, said that regardless of past performances he has the best chance of defeating President Eisenhower and would be a better president.
Comments by students interviewed:
Carolyn Beal, Fredonia junior, "I'l back Ike. I guess Mr. Nixon doesn't make too much difference but I don't like him as well."
Republicans' Opinions
Kenneth Martin, Lawrence senior I'll go with Eisenhower with or without Nixon."
Marvin Troun, Independence, Kan., junior, "I think I will go along with Mr. Eisenhower myself. Ike is in good health but Nixon is a good moan."
Donald Brown, Kansas City, Mo
mophomore. "Ike is the one. Even if
his health should fail Nixon is a good
man. This can be seen from the job
he did when Mr. Eisenhower was
sick before."
Linda Miller, Dodge City freshman, "I prefer Eisenhower. I don't think Nixon is as good as he could be but I'll vote for Ike even though Nixon is on the same ticket."
Eric Reiner, Mission sophomore,
"I'm for Eisenhower but I don't
think Mr. Nixon is the man to run
with him. All those good will tours
Nixon has gone on hasn't done anything but make enemies for the United States. If Nixon runs with Eisenhower, I'll vote for a Democrat if it isn't Kefauver."
Democrats' Opinions
John Kiefer, Kansas City, Mo. freshman, "I favor Mr. Stevenson. If Kefauver should win the primaries, however, I'll vote for him. I think the Republicans have given us a pretty rough shake, especially in foreign policy.'
James Carey, Bridgeport, Conn,
special student, "The racial segregation question will be a big plank in the platform and Kefauer's background has a better chance of correcting it."
Charlene Welsh, Grant City, Mo.
graduate student, "T'll vote for
Kefauver because I don't like Stevenson. It's a lesser of two evils. There isn't any man running capable of being a good president.
Joyce Ronald, Mitchel S. D. graduate student, "I like Stevenson. I appreciate intelligence and good approaches and enjoy a sense of humor."
Paul Scholz, Schenectady, N. Y. freshman. "I like Kefauver. He'd be better in the long run. Stevenson hasn't worked his way up like Kefauver has."
Jerry Frasier, Coffeyville junior,
"I like Mr. Kefauver but I haven't
studied either very much. Any Democ-
rator would be better than a Rep-
ublican."
The first American fighted squadron to operate in World War I was the 103rd Pursuit Squadron, AEF, formed by members of the Lafayette Escadrille. It began operations under control of the French on the Western Front Feb. 18, 1918.
Racial Bars Bad, Girls Say
GREENSBORO, N.C. (IP)—The student legislature of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina recently debated and passed a desegregation resolution presented by the campus political affairs committee. The following resolution was passed with a vote of 24 for, none against, and 5 abstentions:
Fact-The 1954-55 rulings of the Supreme Court have declared segregation in the public schools unconstitutional.
Principle—It is believed that desegregation will and should be accomplished, and because it is also believed that the aim of equal opportunity for all cannot be achieved under the existing educational system.
Be it resolved that, the Legislature of the Woman's College, University of North Carolina, go on record as favoring equality in admission policies and use of facilities to all students regardless of race.
According to an opinion handed down by the PAC, colleges should be the first places of integration because the educated students would be best able to accept the innovation rationally. This was in opposition to the opinion that integration should begin in the grade schools. "This is an experience which the parents should have before their children are made to face it," the resolution said.
The action taken was stressed by the Legislature chairman as merely an expression of the opinion of the legislative body, not of the campus as a whole.

DR. GEORGE BECKMANN
Beckmann To Tour Far East On Ford Research Grant
Dr. George Beckmann, assistant professor of history, will leave August 8 from San Francisco, Calif., to make his third trip to the Far East on a Ford research grant.
Dr. Beckmann's first trip to the East was in 1945 when he was an intelligence officer in the U. S. Navy. He spent eight months in Korea and and the rest of the time in Japan. During this period he said he developed an intensive interest in Japan and started to learn the language which he now speaks fluently.
His second visit to Japan came in 1952 when he went on a Fullbright scholarship and a Ford Foundation Research grant. He studied in Tokyo and did much of his research in their Congressional Library and several universities in the city.
On his third trip, Dr. Beckmann will be especially concerned with the way Japanese Marxist historians try to correlate their history along the lines of Marx's theory of history.
Dr. Beckmann said he is interested in Japanese politics and in the Communist party in Japan. Numerically the Communists are not too
important, he said, but their influence through labor and members in influential places cannot be ignored.
Part of his current trip will be to further his teaching pwess, Dr. Beckmann said. He thinks a modern history tecaher should know what the important figures look like and actually are, as well as what is written about them.
Dr. Beckmann, who will spend three months in Japan and three months in Southeast Asia, hopes to meet politicians from the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries. He hopes especially to meet communist leaders, he said.
While in the Orient, Dr. Beckmann hopes to contact Doak Barnett in Hong Kong, Boyd Compton in Indonesia and other members of the University Field Staff who have recently been on the campus.
Some 40 per cent of the graduates found jobs through college placement departments. Less than 10 per cent used employment agencies, and the remaining 50 per cent found their jobs through friends or relatives, or by their own efforts.
Dr. Beckmann is from East Orange, NJ, and graduated from Harvard in 1948 with an A. B. in Far Eastern languages. He received his doctorate in 1952 from Stanford University. Dr. Beckmann will return to the University staff the second semester of the 1956-57 school year.
Inadequate Job Counseling Causes Career Insecurity
"There should be the realization that recruitment and career counseling should start early in the college career. Steps should be taken to help students realize their abilities and greatest potential usefulness before they begin to major \nspecial subjects," Mr. Haldane said.
"Although finding the first jobs comparatively easy . . . finding the right job was a problem that has plagued many students for many years," Mr. Haldane pointed out.
NEW YORK, N.Y. (IP)—A study conducted among 80 colleges and 80 corporations by Bernard Haldane, a career counseling specialist, revealed that 30 out of 100 June graduates will leave their jobs before the first year is over. Fifteen more will change jobs before the first year is over.
According to the survey, this turnover and job insecurity among college graduates are the result of career uncertainty among students, inadequate recruitment and training by industry, as well as inadequate job counseling and career development by colleges.
"During the sophomore year, at the latest, business should finance and direct self-evaluation, orientation in vocational opportunities and job finding courses as an aid to better manpower utilization."
Renaissance Art On Display Now
An exhibit of art to show how the Renaissance styles spread from Italy throughout Europe is on display in the lower gallery of the Museum of Art. The show consists of painting, sculpture, books, manuscripts, and textiles. It will run through June 5.
The show is divided into six showcases with a country represented in each. Italy, France, Germany, England, Flanders and Holland, and Spain are represented
Included are portraits of men who were famous for work in that period. Each case is lined with reproductions of 15th and 18th century fabrics.
Utah Governor Hit By Tax Lien
SALT LAKE CITY (UF)—A lien for $1,203.10 in 1955 income taxes was filed by the federal government today against Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee.
The action was no surprise to the fiery Utah governor. He had "asked for it" by deliberately refusing to pay the tax. Gov. Lee contends use of income tax revenue for foreign aid is unconstitutional.
The lien forms did not specify the amount of income involved. Taxes on Lee's $10,000 a year salary as governor have already been withheld. The tax he won't pay is on outside income from a source he refuses to disclose publicly.
The lien, filed against both Gov. Lee and his wife, Margaret, listed the $1,203.10 as the amount of the assessment made April 16, 1956, against the Lees.
The governor had filed an income report in mid-January, and amended it two weeks ago when he discovered an "error in arithmetic," but sent no money with the report. Instead, he mailed the government a letter outlining his feeling against foreign aid.
Alumni, Students Receive Awards
Four University alumni have received Erasmus Haworth awards in geology for 1955-56. They were presented citations at a meeting of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists in Chicago.
The recipients are William A. Bramlette, chief geologist for Carter Oil Co., Tulsa; Alonzo Quinn, chairman of the geology department at Brown University, Fred Swain, associate professor of geology at the University of Minnesota, and Nate Isenberger, geologist in charge of foreign operations for Phillips Petroleum Co., Bartlesville, Okla.
Students honored Friday by the department were Dean McManus, Dallas, Thomas Baker, Dallas, Tex., and Leslie Mack, Washington, D.C., all graduate students, and Paul Enos, Perry, Gail Brooks, Hays, and Helmer Magnuson, Sunflower, all engineering seniors.
The awards take their name from Erasmus Haworth, the first KU student to become a distinguished geologist. He was a teacher and director of the State Geological Survey here for many years.
