Hunkeler to Give Baccalaureate Address June 6
The Rt. Rev. Edward J. Hunkeler, archbishop of the Kansas City, Kans., diocese of the Roman Catholic church, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon June 6 for the senior class, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced today.
Commencement exercises will be in Case 7. Both services, beginning in early evening, will be in Memorial stadium. There will be no main commencement address.
Archbishop Hunkeler will speak to a class of 933 candidates for degrees and certificates. Because KU holds commencement only in June each year, the program will list 1,460 persons to whom degrees will have been granted since June of 1952.
The class of 1954 will be about 100 smaller than that of '53 and 200 smaller than the class of '52, although total enrollment has grown nearly 10 per cent in the two years.
Sorel Concert Received Well
By R. H. CHESKY
This week's series of successful concerts and recitals continued last night when Claudette Sorel, a youth- and gifted pianist, received an enthusiastic response from a near-capacity audience in Strong auditorium.
Miss Sorel appeared in the annual Young American Artist series, but her performance was one which an artist of twice her 20 years might well have envied.
Her featured selections were Beethoven's "Sonata in F major," Chopin's "Sonata in B Flat minor," and Kabalevsky's Sonatina No. 2 in G major."

AGI Scores Double Sweep; Kennedy, Englund Win Posts
2nd Election Shows Shift Of 11 Seats
In the senate and house of representatives elections yesterday, many of the individual races came out as they had in the April 20 voting, but 11 seats—nearly one-third of the total membership of the house and senate—changed hands after the second voting.
Six of 10 districts in the senate changed their preferences. AGI gained seven senators in the shift. Because of the smaller turnout, two seats went unfilled in the house. (The membership of the house increases or decreases according to the number of ballots cast.) AGI picked up two seats in the house.

Brownell Says FBI Letter Used Without Authority
Unorganized Students—Bill Armold, AGI, and Gary Davis, MSP.
Washington — (U.P.) — Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., said today that a letter introduced into the Army-McCarthy hearings by Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis.) constituted an "unauthorized use" of secret FBI information.

In a letter to the Senate subcommittee investigating the Army-mCarthy dispute, Mr. Brownnell ruled that neither the 2½ page "letter" produced by Sen. McCarthy nor the 15-page FBI memorandum from which it was drawn should be made public.
Mr. Brownell said that Mr.
Sen. McCarthy testified yesterday at the "letter" was brought to him last spring by a young officer in the Army, intelligence division.
the letter purported to be from FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
He said the original Hoover memorandum of that date contained "unevaluated" information.
"However," Mr. Brownell said, "this document does contain phraseology which is identical in words and paragraphs" to those in a 15-dum sent to the Army on Jan. 26, page confidential FBI memoran-1951.
Mr. Brownell said the purported FBI letter which Sen. McCarthy introduced in the hearings Tuesday contained "evaluations" of FBI information on certain persons that "were not made by (FBI Director J. Edgar) Hoover or anyone acting on his behalf."
IT'S LIKE THIS—Ron Sammons, college senior; Robert Pope, graduate student, Robert Worcester, engineering junior, and Jack Heysinger, assistant professor of economics, discuss election results at the ballot counting last night.
Hoover had "examined" the document presented by Sen. McCarthy and "advised me he never wrote any such letter."
Glee Clubs to Present Spring Concert Today
The University Men's and Women's Glee clubs, directed by Clayton Krehbiel, will present their annual spring concert at 8 p.m today in Hoch auditorium.

The combined glee clubs will begin the program with the highly traditional "Glorious Apollo," and end the performance with the "Carousel" medley, which includes such favorites as "If I Loved You," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over," "What's the Use of Wonderin'," and "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Linda Stormont, fine arts senior, and Dolores Myers, education senior, will be the featured soloists in a medley from the Rogers and Hammerstein hit, "Carousel." Mary Jo Huyck, fine arts sophomore, and John Goodfellow, fine arts freshman, will be the soloists in Debussy's "Blessed Damozel."

Bannister Runs
3:59.4 'Miracle' Mile
Oxford, England —(U.P.) Great Britain's Roger Bannister finally ran the long-sought four-minute mite today when he was clocked in the world record time of 3:59.4.
The mark, long the Holy Grail of track men, was two full seconds under the world record of 4:01.4 set by Gunder Haegg of Sweden in 1945.
Big Margins Established in Both Houses
Robert Kennedy, engineering junior, and Marjorie England, education junior, were elected president and vice president of the All Student Council in yesterday's special election.
Kennedy and Englund's party,
Allied Greek Independents, swept
the majority in the senate and
house of representatives while
POGO, which yesterday boycotted
the election, gained only five seats
in the senate and three seats in
the house of representatives.
The POGO candidates for president and vice president of the ASC, Fred Rice and Nathan Harris, boycotted the election in protest against the voiding of the April 20 balloting. Rice and Harris would have been elected if the 63 controversial ballots in the last election had been invalidated and the remaining votes accepted. The ASC elections committee ordered the special election.
POGO candidates, however, remained on the senate and house slates, and eight members of the party were elected. The Allied Greek Independents won 14 seats in the senate and 8 in the house, while the Married Students party squeezed in four in the senate and one in the house. Unaffiliated students numbered one in the senate and two in the house.
A total of 1,423 students voted—a drop of 688 from the number participating in the April 20 balloting. Three faculty members presided at a seven and a half hour vote-counting session after the election, and the results were announced at 3:30 a.m. today.
A discrepancy occurred in Journalism school balloting when two pre-journalism students cast votes for Journalism school candidates rather than for College candidates. However, Stan Hamilton, journalism junior, was elected to the senate by a large majority, and the two illegal votes were deemed unconsequential in the outcome.
Far East Students Present Problems at Symposium
By MARY BESS STEPHENS
BY MARK BESS NEE
"The war in Indochina is causing damage against the French, but not enough to cause an anti-white feeling." Dinh Ang Dang, special engineering student from Vietnam. Indochina, said last night in a Far East symposium presented by the YMCA.
He was introduced by Ranzen Sinha, graduate student from Calcutta, India, and program chairman.
Dang said that Indochina is a block of three separate states, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. In Vietnam, independence is wanted by the majority of people, with even the French agreeing that independence should be granted. However, the French believe the Indochinese cannot assume full responsibility of self-government vet.
Raden Ismaeen, graduate student from Indonesia, and past second secretary to the governor of Java, said that the colonial rule of the Dutch has, for three centuries, been
the main issue in his country
In 1937, the Nationalist party, under Dr. Sukaro, opposed the Dutch wille with violence. The Dutch wille with violence will fare and at the conference table-
In 1948, the UN ordered a "cease fire" on the Dutch-Indonesian outbreak. In 1949 the Dutch were defeated, and in June, 1950, the United States of Indonesia was established.
"Malaya is a center of Communist domination," Shin Kiong Chew, special college student from Singapore, Malaya, said.
The Communists have caused wide-spread death and suffering in Malaya, and have kept the people in a state of tension. Chew said.
"Malaya is a large producer of rubber and tin. Rubber prices are low on the world market, and Russia, by comparison, offers a high price for the commodity. As yet, Malaya won't sell to Russia. America can play a part in helping Malaya by offering a higher price for rubber," Chew said.
