ASC House Rules Cheerleaders' Selection Valid
The All Student Council house of representatives voted 11 to 1 last night to uphold the decision of the cheerleader committee, defeating the recommendation of a five-student ASC committee that the cheerleader trysts be 'held over again.
In an open hearing Sunday, the ASC committee listened to the testimony of people who had protested the procedure for the selection of the cheerleaders.
As a result of the house's action, the cheerleaders selected will not be subjected to another twout.
Car-Bus Collision Kills 2, Hurts 1
The matter was sent to the house for the vote, since the house is in charge of the selection of cheerleaders.
The senate and house passed a resolution directing the new council to revise the regulations for cheerleader selection.
"Now that all opinions have been aired in an open hearing, and the house has taken decisive action, no more complaints on the obeseleader controversy should be voiced by anyone," Dick Sheldon, president of the ASC, said after he learned of the house's action.
The new ASC will choose its secretaries, president pro tempores, and treasurer, at a meeting at 7:15 pm. Thursday. The new ASC officers will be sworn in next Tuesday night.
Kansas City, Mo. — (U.P.) A Kansas City man and a woman were killed last night in a car-bus collision occurring on the exact spot where a crash took the lives of seven persons just over a year ago
Dead are Richard L. Humphrey,
29, of Kansas City, Mo., and Dorothy Goudeau, about 30, address unknown.
A 17-year-old passenger in Humphrey's car, Raymond Miller, Kansas City, Kan., was in satisfactory condition today at the General hospital.
The driver of the southbound Greyhound bus received slight injuries. The bus came from Omaha.
Patrolman George Hoffman, who worked the crash May 2, 1953, at the same spot, the A-S-B bridge across the Missouri river in North Kansas City, said Humphrey's car struck the front end of the bus, spinning the car completely around and splitting it open. The top was peeled off from the dashboard up, he said.
The patrolman said Humphrey was apparently driving on the wrong side of the road and was speeding.

LAWRENCE. KANSAS
Engineers List New Officers
Reinhold Schmidt and Elizabeth Townsley, both of the University voice faculty, sang the lead roles, and both gave able performances. William Wileo, fine arts special student, whose acting talents are a fine supplement to his tenor voice, was amusing in the role of a servant who is caught very much in the middle when the fireworks begin.
"The Secret of Suzanne" points up the moral that a wife who tries to conceal a minor vice from her husband could save herself a peck of trouble by telling him all about it. Suzanne, however, wasn't perceptive enough to see this, and her husband suspected far worse vices—with enjoyable results for the audience, if not for Suzanne.
"Don't We All" is another domestic farce about a farmer and his wife who tiff about the most trivial of matters—in this case, over, which of the two is to bar the door of their home. The plot is complicated by a pact of silence, the invasion of neighbors, a butcher knife, and other items, but—the
WHO'LL BE THE WINNER?—Gov. Edward F. Arn, Kansas Secretary of State Paul R. Shanahan, and State Auditor George Robb observe the three finalists in the "Miss Starfire" contest. The winner will be the Air ROTC queen for 1954 and will reign at the AFROTC ball.
Pair of Comic Operas Commendably Rated
By R. H. CHESKY
Commendable performances were the rule last night as two one-act comic operas began a three-day run in Fraser theater. The operas, "Don't We All" and "The Secret of Suzanne," were presented by the University Theatre in cooperation with the School of Fine Arts.
husband, as might be expected eventually is forced to bar the door. The wife (as is customary with wives, we are told) refuses to be modest about her victory, but her pride precedes a fall and the game ends in a tie score.
Dale Moore and Linda Stormont, fine arts seniors, handled the lead roles in capable fashion, with Wilcox and Sandra Keller, college sophomore, assisting ably as the neighbor and his wife.
The University Little Symphony orchestra, directed by Dean Thomas Gorton of the School of Fine Arts, provided the accompaniment. John Newfield was the stage director. Well-conceived settings by Richard McGhee and Raymond Eastwood added much to both performances.
Drill, Mock Battle Set for Tomorrow
A parade of marchers tomorrow from all three ROTC groups and a mock battle with blank ammunition immediately following will highlight activities for the KU celebration of National Armed Forces week.
Ike Says Army Can Keep Tab On Loyalty Cases
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower said today that the Army is perfectly capable of taking care of its security risks.
Mr. Eisenhower also told a news conference that it was reprehensible for an Army officer to give out confidential information without authorization.
The President replied that enlisted men take an oath to obey their superior officers and that he thought it was perfectly ridiculous to say that an officer did not owe the same loyalty and obedience all the way up the line to the commander-in-chief.
Mr. Eisenhower was asked if he would comment on the propriety of an Army intelligence officer allegedly giving such information to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-W.)s.
Mr. Eisenhower used words virtually similar to Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson's last night in describing the Army's ability to handle security risks. Mr. Wilson said that the armed forces were "entirely capable" of digging out security risks without congressional investigations.
While he believes the Defense department is perfectly capable of taking care of security risks, Mr Eisenhower said that he did not mean that an occasional outside look-see would not be all right. But as a rule, he said, the armed services can take care of the matter to the satisfaction of the American people.
Adams Says McCarthy Wanted Schine Drafted
Washington—(U.P.)—An Army spokesman testified today that Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) once told him he hoped G. David Schine would be drafted because he was "not much use" to Sen. McCarthy's investigating subcommittee.
Sen. McCarthy, Mr. Cohn, and
Thomas Goes —Roy M. Cohn and Franck P. Carr —are accused of using "imprison means" in efforts to obtain special treatment for Pvt. Schine.
The testimony was given by Army Counselor John G. Adams in the 15th day of hearings on the bitter Army-McCarthy row.
Mr. Adams testified that his boss—Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens—instructed him last October not to discuss Pvt. Schine's pending induction with Sen. McCarthy's sides.
He said Mr. Stevens told him that was "a sensitive point" with them.
Mr. Adams said Sen. McCarthy made the remark about Pvt. Schine's being drafted in New York last October, when his subcommittee was holding hearings on alleged Communist infiltration in the Army.
Pvt Schine, who was an unpaid staff consultant to the Sen. McCarthy subcommittee, was drafted Nov. 3. Much of the present controversy centers about him. Sen. McCarthy, and his principal niger
Mr. Carr countered with charges that the Army used Pvt. Schine as "hostage" in efforts to get investigations of alleged Communism in the Army soft-pedaled.
Mr. Adams succeeded Mr. Stevens on the witness stand. After testifying at least part of each of the first 13 days, Mr. Stevens was dismissed temporarily yesterday because he is suffering from a virus infection.
Mr. Adams also backed up Mr. Stevens' testimony that Mr. Cohn once told an Army officer that he had "access to FBI files."
Mr. Adams said Mr. Cohn made the statement to Col. Kenneth E. Belieu, Mr. Stevens' military aide, at Fort Montmouth, last Oct. 20 in a rage of anger over being excluded from a secret laboratory.
The black-haired, neatly-dressed Army lawyer said the 27-year-old Mr. Cohn became "extremely upset" when he was kept outside while Mr. Stevens and three elected members of Congress, including Sen. McCarthy, were taken inside the secret laboratory.
At 3 p.m. the three ROTC units will assemble outside Memorial stadium to pass in review before Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Following this, there will be presentation of 54 military awards for outstanding cadets during the past year. After the presentations, the troops will pass in review for the stands.
Following the stadium parade, Scabbard and Blade, military society composed of honor students from all three branches, will give a demonstration of offensive platoon tactics.
The attack can be viewed from Memorial drive near the campanile. A defensive platoon will be sand-bagged in position on the crest of the campanile hill.
Military officials promised a noisy battle with both offensive and defensive platoons shooting blank ammunition in the sham attack.
An offensive platoon will start on the trail leading up from Oread hall to the campanile. They will deploy into three squads when the enemy first gives notice of their position.
The first squad will cover the attack of the other two squads as they deploy out of range to come in from the flank of the defenders. The attack will be led up the west side of the hill, starting from the woods around Potters lake.
The defensive platoon will stave off the attack with a .30 caliber heavy machine gun firing blanks and eight to 10 riflesm.
Norman Gates, engineering junior, will lead the offensive, and Jim Hoeferen, fifth-year architecture, command the defensive positions.
Weapons for the sham battle are borrowed from Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, and the local Reserve and National Guard units. Plans call for firing over 2,000 rounds of blank ammunition.
$1,600 Given To Start Fund
Establishment of the Kenneth Rockwell scholarship fund with a $1,600 gift by Mrs. George C. McGann of Russell to the KU Endowment association was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
A graduate of Augusta high school, Kenneth Rockwell attended Ottawa university where he received the A. B. degree in 1927. He later entered the Graduate School at KU, earning the M. A. degree in 1933 and later completing all work for the Ph. D. degree except submission of the dissertation.
Income from the fund will be used for scholarships every second or third year to undergraduate or graduate students in the department of English. Only students studying English, American or comparative literatures shall be considered.
For several years he taught English classes in Kansas City for KU Extension, gave radio lectures and was a speaker for literary clubs. In 1947 he became book editor of the Dallas Times Herald, a post he held until his death in 1952.
Oil and Wash Your Dog?
