GOP Faction To Form Party
Oklahoma City—(U.P.)—A group of Oklahoma Republicans said today they were organizing a new political party that would be "pro-McCarthy" and "anti-Eisenhower."
Supporters of the new party, which will be known as the "Constitutional party," said they were circulating petitions to gain official recognition, and had 2.000 of the 5.000 signatures they need.
John W. Beck, chairman of the group, now known as the Constitution club of Oklahoma, said it would be affiliated with the Constitution party, which entered four candidates in Texas' general election three weeks ago.
Mr. Beck said his organization, in addition to getting signatures on its organizing petitions, was sponsoring the circulation of petitions asking the U.S. Senate not to censure Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis). He said they hoped to get 500,000 anti-censure signatures in Oklahoma.
"We plan to have a slate of candidates in the next general election," Mr. Beck said. "It probably won't be a full ticket, but the Republicans don't have that yet (in Oklahoma)."
Mr. Beck, who is financial editor of the Daily Oklahomaan, an Oklahoma City newspaper, said he was a Republican but not a supporter of President Eisenhower.
Frosh to Meet With Principals
The 6th annual conference of principals of Kansas high schools and University freshmen will be held Wednesday, Dec. 8.
The principals were invited from 236 high schools, all of which have one or more graduates enrolled as freshmen at the University. In past years invitations to the conference have been restricted to schools from which at least three freshmen had graduated.
In addition to lowering the required number of students, the principals have been given the choice of meeting the freshmen individually or in groups, and will be given the opportunity to meet with upperclassmen.
Personal interviews with students will be held during the morning. A luncheon in the Union for the principals will be followed by a panel discussion on high school-college relations.
Texas has 254 counties of which 191 are producing oil and gas.
First Woman in Sigma Tau Is Member of KU Chapter
The first woman in the United States to become a member of Sigma Tau, national honorary engineering fraternity, is Marjorie Heard, engineering junior. She was elected by members of Lambda chapter of Sigma Tau last night.
Sigma Tau, formerly restricted to male members, revised its constitution at its national convention at the University of Nebraska Nov. 10-12 to include women members. The organization has 28 active chapters throughout the United States.
Rex Tucker, engineering senior and president of Lambda chapter, said there was a slight possibility that another chapter had elected a woman member, but that it was very doubtful since all of the other chapters had already held an initiation service this fall. Earlier this year Lambda chapter pledged 31 men, but they have not been initiated.
Members of the organization are elected on the basis of scholarship, sociability, practicality, and the probability of future success. Members must be in the upper third of their class.
The possibility of any such challenge is considered remote, however. Any demand for a change in leadership would be less likely to come from pro-administration senators than from those administration critics who were once closely allied with the late Sen. Robert A. Taft.
Sen. Knowland has strengthened his position with these GOP critics of the administration by his show of independence. There is a sizable body of Senate opinion which holds that the administration lacks the ability to serve White House agent but the spokesman for the Senate in dealing with the White House.
Miss Heard had another "first" on her list of accomplishments when she enrolled in aeronautical engineering her sophomore year. She was the first woman at KU to enter that field. She is associate editor of the Kansas Engineer and secretary-treasurer of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. She has been on the engineering honor roll.
But friends said he has no intention of resigning and is willing to defend his position in the Senate GOI caucus if he is challenged.
Knowland Grip Strengthens Despite Clash With Ike
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen. William F. Knowland's latest collision with administration foreign policy appeared today to have strengthened rather than weakened his grip on the Senate Republican leadership.
Because Mr. Knowland himself shares this view, he felt justified in making the speech which was interpreted as a rocket at the administration. He has told friends, however, that he thinks the conflict is not as deep as many believe.
Sen. Knowland kicked up a storm last week by calling for a full-dress review of U.S. policies on the grounds that "peaceful co-existence" with Russia would lead eventually to a Communist victory.
In addition to her engineering activities, Miss Heard, recording secretary of Delta Delta Delta sorority, is secretary of Forensic League, and on the governing body of AGL During her freshman and sophomore years she was a member of the KU debate team.
The statement, in a Senate speech, put him at odds with administration policy and there were suggestions in some circles that this might be inconsistent with his position as the Republican leader in the Senate.
If he were to be challenged, Sen Styles Bridges (R.-N.H.) probably would be the only GOP senator who could command the support to make a serious contest.
Quinton Johnstone, professor of law, will attend the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools as chairman of the round table meeting on "Type of Courses in law and Social Work." The meeting will be held Dec. 28-30 at the Biltmore hotel in New York.
Among the speakers will be Maxine B. Virtue of the School of Social Work at the University of Michigan. Mrs. Virtue is the wife of Jack Virtue, professor of English, who went to the University of Michigan from the University several years ago.

Hiss to Be Released From Prison Saturday
He will wash, shave and dress in 15 minutes, make his bed, and then go to breakfast with the other convicts as he has done for three years and eight months.
Lewisburg, Pa.—(U.P.)—Alger Hiss will be awakened at 6:45 a.m. Saturday by a bugle call and the blast of a whistle outside his cell in the federal penitentiary.
But Saturday will be different. At 9 a.m. he will walk out the prison gates. He will be free, in a sense.
Hiss apparently intends to stick to the position that there was no truth whatsoever to Whittaker Chambers' story that the two of them worked in a Communist spying ring in the 1930s and that he gave Chambers secret State department papers.
His denial of those two points sent him to prison for perjury.
Two Congressional committees have indicated they want to question again this man who rose high in state councils, served as adviser to President Roosevelt at Yalta, was secretary general of the San Francisco conference at which the United Nations was born.
Hiss, now 50, a little fatter and considerably graver, will be met at the penitentiary gate by his wife and, probably, a small army of newspapermen. It is understood the Hisses will then drive to New York to the small Manhattan apartment where Mrs. Hiss has been living
Hiss has been a "model" prisoner at Lewisburg, according to Warden Fred Wilkinson. His good behavior won him a year and four months off his five-year term. It also got him a cell for himself in the 1,400-inmate prison.
Last week he had the customary talk with the warden about his future life on the "outside." Mr. Wilkinson declined to discuss it, but it must have been interesting indeed.
He worked here as a storeroom clerk, doling out clothing, checking laundry and other supplies. He played handball and shuffleboard, read a great deal, sent the permitted three letters a week, and received seven. He sang in the prison choir but generally stayed aloof from other inmates.
Mrs. Hiss and their son, Anthony, 13, have been living quietly in New York.
The English proficiency examination will be given from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4. Juniors and seniors may register for the examination on Nov. 29, 30, and Dec. 1 in the office of the dean of their schools.
Date Set for English Exam
Passing the test is a requirement for candidates for degrees in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, the School of Journalism, the School of Fine Arts, and nurses in the School of Medicine.
The examination is offered once each semester, but students are urged to take it during their junior year. If a student fails the test twice, he is required to enroll in a course in composition and take the test again.

But why,
Why do they say I must return?
Go down, back home again,
Into the valley below?
Must the only mountain top that
I can keep
And though the valley calls.
Though I know I must return. I
heistate to leave my mountain top.
I can keep Be conquered after death?
Burchard Talks on Behavior Causes
"The invention of new ways of behavior or its absence depends on the types of pressure which are brought to bear upon the individual in his social roles," said Dr. Waldo W. Burchard, sociology instructor, at the Sociology club meeting Friday.
