Red Drive May Cause Britain to Alter Policy
By UNITED PRESS
The alarming drive of Red Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap's victory-crazed troops toward Hanoi may cause the British to take another look at their "go slow" policy on Indochina, informed sources at Geneva said today.
Six students in the School of Business were commended today for their work as grading assistants for the course of Business Administrative practices by the business administrative practice teaching staff.
School of Business Honors 6 Students
Gen. Giap's Chinese-trained rebels were reported to be advancing toward the strategic French-held city, creating near panic among its residents despite bombing and strafing by French planes.
Usually reliable informants at the Geneva conference said British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden was planning to fly back to London tomorrow for urgent talks with Prime Minister Winston Churchill on the new Communist threat.
The students receiving recognition are Alan Anderson, John Calvin, Burleigh Cook, William Crews, and Vernie Theden. All are seniors in the School of Business. Robert Davis, graduate student, also was commended.
Mr. Churchill told the House of Commons the Franco-American talks were of an exploratory nature and for this reason alone the British were not consulted.
Britain, which deferred action on the proposed NATO-style Pacific Defense pact while awaiting results of the Geneva conference, also was reported uneasy over talks between France and the United States on Indochina.
The United States and France already have made it clear they will go ahead with the plans for a defense pact aimed at stopping the spread of communism in southeast Asia without waiting for the British to make up their minds whether to join.
The Geneva conference itself temporarily shelved the Indochina peace talks to return to the Korean issue. Nations which fought beside South Korea agreed on a compromise plan for holding general elections to unify Korea and will hand it to the Reds tomorrow. Other international develop-

Seoul—Latest returns from the South Korean general elections showed that President Syngman Rhee lost his fight on domestic issues but retained his strong anti-Communist leadership on foreign affairs.
Rio de Janeiro—Brazilian Minister of Justice Tancunro Neves promised Rio de Janeiro newsmen that the city's police force would be reorganized because of a police beating suffered by a reporter.

Retiring Phi Delt Housemothe Has Longest KU Tenure
Bv TOM LYONS
About 250 active Phi Delta Theta fraternity members, alumni and friends of Mrs. J. H. Kreamer, the Phi Delta Theta social fraternity housemother, are expected to attend a banquet tonight to honor her for 27 years of service to the Kansas chapter.
Mrs. Kreamer, who will retire this spring after 27 years as housemother for "her boys," has been with the Kansas chapter longer than any housemother on the campus, and longer than any Phi Delt housemother in the country.
"Maudie," as the boys call her, has survived six generations of Phi Delts, and has guided the chapter through years of inflation and depression.
When the ex-servicemen returned to the house they found it open and everything organized and ready to function. However, the fraternity had not moved into its present home at 1621 Edgehill, but was in smaller quarters at 1409 Tennessee. Thus, Mrs. Kreamer had to feed her 100 boys in two shifts since dining facilities were not adequate to take care of everyone at the same time.
She observed that of all the hundreds of men she has known since she started at the fraternity in 1927, they haven't changed much as a group.
"The veterans were more mature and helpful than pre-war men," she said. "Boys these days are somewhat unsettled because they aren't certain . . . about such things as the service."
The Phi Delt chorus has prepared a special program for her tonight, and the members and alumni will present her with a check in appreciation to "a great lady for a job well done."

Though Tarred, Feathered Statue Has Had 'Easy Time'
Yesterday's episode of a tarred and feathered Uncle Jimmy Green marked the third time Uncle Jimmy had been in the headlines this semester. And all he does is just stand there.
By RON GRANDON
But the statue had an easier time of it this year than in past years—so far, anyway.
Headlines are a common occurrence for the statute. An Oct. 18, 1920 headline in the Daily Kansan said, "Uncle Jimmy Statue for KU Campus." Here is apparently where the headline habit started.
A J. W. Green association in 1920 launched a drive for the statue The services of sculptor Daniel Chester French, who created the Chicago Lincoln statue, were acquired to put the monument in its present-day position in KU tradition. The campaign motto of the association was "Worthwhile, or Not at All," and the group raised the $30,000 it was after.
By March 1952, the statue had been painted "every color from lavender to baby blue" and the engineers had been cleared of charges on numerous counts.
Sometimes, of course, they weren't cleared.
Uncle Jimmy promises to stand for many more coats of paint, but campus officials hope it happens some other year—not now.
