Virginia Votes To Avoid School Integration
RICHMOND, Va.—(U.P.)—A Negro leader said today Virginia Negroes will "wait and see" before making a decision on the action of the state in voting for public-supported private schools to avoid school desegregation.
Virginians voted 2-to-1 Monday in favor of public tuition grants for parents who object to sending their children to integrated schools.
Unofficial tabulations, with 1,762 of the state's 1,861 precincts reporting, showed 300,172 votes for the program with 143, 106 votes against
The issue was on calling a convention to amend section 141 of the state constitution to permit the General Assembly to use public funds to aid in the private education of white Virginia school children.
Oliver W. Hill, attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said if Virginia does not show good faith toward desegregating its schools, legal steps will be taken to bring the state in line with the Supreme Court decision banning segregated classrooms.
The next step in the state's anti-integration program is expected Wednesday when Gov. Thomas B. Stanley addresses the opening session of the 1956 State Legislature. Gov. Stanley has indicated that he wants the Assembly to speed up its regular business so it can legislate the tuition-grant program before adjourning in mid-March. Included is another referendum on the naming of delegates to the convention and the convention itself.
The governor was elated last night over the results of the referendum. His appointed education commission had recommended the tuition-grant plan and a special session of the General Assembly approved it.
Congressmen Hit Ike's Farm Bill
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)—Farm belt Congressmen charged today that President Eisenhower's new agriculture program is mainly long-range. They promised to try to get more immediate help for farmers.
Regardless of Party, Congressmen generally supported in principle most of the nine farm proposals Mr. Eisenhower sent to Congress yesterday. The program called for a two phase "soil bank," speeded-up disposal of the present huge farm surpluses and other steps to ease the cost-price squeeze on farmers.
AFROTC Drill Team To Be In Mardi Gras
Congressional staff experts today handed Congress 20 "alternative plans" for cutting persons income taxes. They would cost the treasury from $18 million to $8,303 billion.
Mardi Gras will be the destination of the AFROTC drill team, color guard, and a six-man staff of AFROTC instructors when they leave Lawrence Feb. 4.
Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-III.), who has been conducting lengthy hearings on problems of depressed areas, said the administration's new proposal to help financially-distressed communities is "grossly inadequate."
The drill team and color guard will participate in the Krewe of Carrollton parade and ball Feb. 5.
The 38 men will stay at Camp Lerov- Johnson near New Orleans.
ADDING THE NEW LOOK—Workmen are placing tile on the walls in the hall of the nearly completely revamped Bailey Hall. The School of Education will move into the quarters between semesters. The cost of converting the old science structure would price them $600,000.

She is the second AATSP president to come from KU. Dr. W. H. Shoemaker, professor of Romance languages, was president in 1950.
She will serve a one-year term, which will be followed by three more years on the AATSP executive council.
Weather
One hundred and fifteen students will leave Jan. 25 and 26 for four days of skiing in the Colorado mountains, where the skiing conditions are reported to be the best in eight years. The students will travel in cars.
Agnes Brady, associate professor of Romance languages, was elected president of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese at the modern language meeting in Chicago Dec. 27-30.
Approximately 70 of the adventure-seeking students will stay at Winter Park at the foot of Berthoud Pass. The remainder will stay at Arapahoe, which is at the foot of Loveland Pass. Both camps are about an hour and a half drive from Denver.
The trip, which is sponsored by the YW-YMCA, costs $41 for Winter Park reservations and $43 for Arapahoe reservations and includes the transportation, lodging, ski instruction, and insurance covering any accident which might occur during the trip.

Colder extreme east this afternoon and in northeast tonight. Low tonight near 15 northeast to the 20s southwest. High Wednesday 30-35 northeast to near 50 south-west.
The only cost not included is the equipment. It will be rented from a supply store on the way up the slope and will cost $5 for the four days.
Foreign students will act as ski instructors. There will be one instructor for every seven students.
Richard Wink, Dallas, Tex., senior and chairman of the ski trip committee, said that there are a few vacancies at both places due to last minute cancellations. Anyone interested in going should contact the "Y" office immediately.

Arrau To Play Concert In Hoch
Claudio Arrau, world-famed concert pianist, will be presented in the KU Concert Course series at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch Auditorium. Student ID cards admit.
Mr. Arrau is on his fourteenth consecutive transcontinental tour of this country and Canada. Foremost were his performances of all of the 32 Beethoven sonatas in seven recitals in New York last winter.
He gave his first recital at the age of five in his native Santiago, Chile. When he was seven he went to Germany with his family, and studied there at the expense of the Chilean government.
Mr. Arrau made his American debut in Carnegie Hall in February, 1941. He has made 300 appearances with every major orchestra in this country and has given more than 700 recitals.
This year he is undertaking the task of presenting all of the original 21 Mozart concertos as well as all of the Mozart piano sonatas, both in New York and London, in celebration of the Mozart bicentenary.
Mr. Arrau is the first major pianist of his generation to achieve fame on five continents before the age of 50.
A recent triumph was his return to Germany after an absence of more than 15 years. He received 12 curtain calls following his performance with the Berlin Philharmonic. Critics lauded his skill, and capacity audiences attended his concerts wherever he played.

Military Inspection Plan Called Mutual Trust System
The United States and Russia are being asked by President Eisenhower to lay their military cards on the table, Floyd Springer, Jr., assistant to Harold E. Stassen, presidential disarmament advisor, said today at the United Nations Conference at the University.
The President's military inspection proposal embodies a system for building mutual trust between the U.S. and Russia. If civilization is to survive and prosper, we must make a fresh practical effort to ease tension, he said.
The plan also suggests ways to guard against a surprise attack through ground and aerial inspection of all military plants and posts in the two countries.
said. He urged study of the plan's "sound and amazing technical foundation."
Since no nation would dare to start an attack for less than an all-out victory, the chances of evading detection lessen considerably," Mr. Springer said. "Such an attack would involve months of preparation, falsification of blueprints, covering up military arsenals and silencing personnel. Would an aggressor be so fool-hardy as to attempt it?
The Eisenhower proposal made at Geneva was viewed in some quarters as a brilliant propaganda gesture, but nothing more, Mr. Springer
The U.S. official envisioned the President's plan as beginning with agreement between Russia and the U.S. and extending to other countries if the system proves effective. The UN General Assembly voted 56 to seven last December to give priority to Mr. Eisenhower's proposal in its study of the disarmament question, Mr. Springer noted.
Nomination of officers also was held, and elections will be Feb. 6. The five changes in the constitution are:
1. The publicity committee will now be called the public relations committee.
2. IFC membership shall consist of the president of the IFC, the presidents of the member fraternities, and two members of each fraternity. They must be actives in their respective houses.
3. Any person in the bottom one fourth scholastically of his high school graduating class will remain unqualified for pledging until his scholastic grade average at the University proves he can attain a one point grade average or better. This means a male student may not be pledged until second semester, if he was in the bottom quarter of his high school class, and only then if his grades meet the requirement.
5. All pledges must be officially pledged in the Dean of Men's office for the ten consecutive weeks immediately prior to initiation.
4. Correspondence courses taken at the same time with an average work load may be recognized as credit toward initiation upon review by the executive council.
The resolution which was defeated concerned the number of grade points and credit hours needed by a pledge to be initiated.
The IFC also is considering the possibility of selecting a king to reign with the queen of Greek Week. A study will be presented to the council at the next meeting by a committee. This year is the first time Greek Week will be held in cooperation with the Panhellenic Council.
