600 Elect Queen At Senior Conclave
About 600 seniors gathered at the first class convocation this morning and elected Maria Griffith, college senior, Calendar queen.
Class of '55 pennants waved and Harry Jordan's sophomore combo played as the seniors were served coffee and free cigarettes. Harlan Parkinson, class president, welcomed the group. Delcina Guest, fine arts senior, sang "Summertime," then led the class in "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here."
The class yell, to be used at the game Saturday as part of Senior day, was introduced by Doug Barring, engineering senior. "1955—Seniors! Go! Seniors!" was complete with raised pennants to emphasize the spirit.
George B. Smith, dean of the University, congratulated the class and welcomed the students as future alumni. "While in school, students hold many small group loyalty," he said, "but once graduated, loyalty becomes that of KU alumni."
The seniors were instructed to wear white shirts and blouses to the game, where they will sit in a special section on the 50-yard line. Each member of the class is to have a pennant.
Senior name cards, bearing a large Jayhawk and the student's identification, were given out and are to be worn on the white shirts
Senior Calendar Queen — Maria Griffith, college, was announced at press time to be the senior Calendar Queen. Elected at this morning's conclave of her classmates, Miss Griffith was sponsored by Kappa Alpha Theta.

Mendes Expects 3-1 Backing In Vote on Foreign Policy
Rules Set for Revue Skits; Meeting Planned
Each house must submit two copies of their script to the producer on or before the deadline. One script must include a sketch of the floor plan, scenes, costumes, and light script.
Shirley Lytle, publicity chairman for the Rock Chalk Revue has listed the following rules for entrants in the 1954 competition:
Each organized house must appoint two representatives who will attend all general meetings. Four men's and four women's organized houses will present their skirts in Hoch auditorium March 25 and 26.
There will be a first place winner in both men's and women's divisions. Other contestants will be given awards for their participation. The acting and staging for each skit will be done by the members of the organization presenting the skit.
The theme of each skit should be related to some aspect of campus life. Ten per cent of the opposite group may be, in each skit.
Each skit will have a 12-minute time limit. All staging will be the responsibility of the house presenting the skit. Props and equipment in Hoch are at the disposal of each house. Only the center one-half of the stage may be used.
Skits will be judged on originality, creative ability, appropriateness, entertainment value, and presentational potential.
- Paris — (U.R.)— Premier Pierre Mendes-France appeared assured today of an overwhelming three-to-one National Assembly majority in support of his negotiations with the Western Allies for rearmament of West Germany.
A pre-vote nose-counting indicated that the premier's foreign policy will win a confidence vote of from 330 to 350 votes against slightly more than 100 in opposition, with a large number of abstentions.
The actual vote is expected to be called sometime late this afternoon.
Approval or rejection of the London agreement to free and rearm West Germany is not directly at stake in the voting. Rather, the premier has called for a vote of confidence in the steps he has taken thus far in the negotiations and for a free hand to continue them.
The powerful Socialist party has assured him of its 105 votes. This, combined with other party forces committed to the premier, should give him a total of more than 300 votes in the 627-member assembly.
Most of the Popular Republican movement deputies, who supported the European Defense Community treaty when it was rejected in August, will abstain from today's vote. So will some of the Socialists and a few independents.
Voting against the premier will be the Communists, their leftwing associates, and a few rightwing deputies. This opposition was not expected to total much above 100 votes.
In Rome, the Chamber of Deputies opened a general debate on foreign affairs which will reflect the temper of the Italian Parliament toward the foreign policies of Premier Mario Scelba.
Plans Completed To Honor Bausch At Half-Time
James A. Bausch, former KU football, basketball, and track star, will receive the National Football Hall of Fame plaque in half-time ceremonies Saturday.
Reaves E. Peters, executive secretary of the Big Seven conference and former president of the National Football Hall of Fame, will make the presentation.
The band will honor the athlete and some of his former teammates will be introduced.
Winner of the 1932 decathlon at the Olympic games in Los Angeles, Mr. Bausch was also awarded the James E. Sullivan memorial medal, proclaiming him the greatest amateur athlete for that year.
Moore to Lecture On Victorian Poet
In his Rose Morgan lecture at 7 p.m. today in Strong auditorium, visiting professor Geoffrey Moore will speak on Gerard Manley Hopkins, English Victorian poet.
Professor Moore described Mr. Hopkins yesterday as a "forerunner of modern verse who has influenced the most interesting of modern poets." He said that Mr. Hopkins is representative of the spirit of the most advanced modern poets.
Murder, Comedy Highlighted in Studio Plays
Bv GRETCHEN GUINN
Ann Straub, college sophomore, acting the dignified Countess Thoracayz in "With Discreet," with the help of David Calkins, College freshman, as Johann Nagy, carried a sophisticated but very weak plot. Dolores Skauer, fine arts freshman, as the housekeeper and Ted Teichgraeber, college freshman, as Stefan Borbely, a friend of Nagy's, help enliven the story of an enraged countess who invades the apartment of Nagy to confront him with their rumored love affair.
Sophistication, murder, and comedy was the fare presented by the Studio theater last night in its first production of the season in Green theater.
The second play, "Lithuania," by Rupert Brooke, involved a tense, morbid atmosphere set in a peasant hut in Lithuania. The audience's attention was held as the story of the desperation of the peasant family unfolded, with Barbara Binginger, education junior, as the mother, Isabel Bolin, fine arts sophomore, as the daughter, and Jack Corleick, college freshman, as the father. The mother-daughter team of Miss Binginger and Miss Bolin provided a constant feeling of tension throughout the play. Miss Bolin did especially well as a beloved, guarded peasant girl.
Her scenes with the young man, acted by Don Inde, college junior, and the stranger, played by Steve Schmidt, college sophomore helped direct the thoughts of the audience to the bitter conclusion.
The slightly drunk vodka shopkeeper and his son, played
convincingly by John Ryberg, college, sophomore, and John Rogers, engineering junior, introduced a lighter note into the play just before the climax.
In contrast to the tense "Lithuania" the last play, "Refund," by Fritz Karinthy, provided the light, humorous touch of the evening.
The setting is a high school which is invaded by a former
student, Wasserkopf, played by Edward Freeburg, engineering senior, who demands his money back because he has been a failure. The fussy, nervous principal, acted by Marvin Carlson, college sophomore, and aided by Janis Sartin, college freshman, as his secretary, calls in his faculty to solve the problem.
The faculty, Dale Lowery, engineering freshman, Brule Dill-
man, journalism junior, Paul Culp, college sophomore, and Ronald Shaffer, college freshman, provided many amusing moments with their imitation of professors and precise movements together as they competed in mental gymnastics with Wasserkoff.
The plays will be presented again at 8 p.m. tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday.
CONFLICTING EMOTIONS—In this scene from "Lithuania" Barbara Bininger, as the mother, John Ryberg, seated, as the vodka shop keeper, and John Rodgers, standing, as the shop keeper's son, show the tenseness that runs throughout the play.
