McGrath Tells Students To Use Intelligence
"You students owe it to yourself and to your community to use your intellectual abilities to their fullest," Earl J. McGrath, presidet of the University of Kansas City, said this morning at the Honors
convocation.
Mr. McGrath said there is a close relationship between professional success and high academic standing and that trained intelligence was never in greater demand than it is today.
Mr. McGrath cited the shortage of trained persons in engineering, teaching, and medicine, but stressed the necessity for a broadly based liberal education.
He was introduced by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, who told the honored students that they represent the things in which the University is primarily interested, education and leadership.

They are "No Exit" by Jean-Patu Sartre and "The Happy Journey" by Thornton Wilden.

Committee Asks New Vote For Top ASC Positions

Yesterday's presidential and vice presidential elections of the All Student Council have been invalidated by a six-member elections committee of the ASC which met this morning. The committee also voted to consider appeals from any districts in the senate and house elections.
The controversy in the approximately 2,000-vote election arose because of 63 ballots which had not had the numbers clipped from the corner when the counting started last night.
Dana Anderson, elections committee chairman, declared the 63 ballots invalid before the original counting, resulting in the election of the Party of Greek Organizations' (POGO) candidates, Fred Rice and Nathan Harris, but the elections committee decided at noon today that because of the controversy over the ballots, a new election would have to be held.
With the 63 controversial ballots, total election returns numbered 2111.
Had the 63 ballots been counted in the election, Allied Greek Independent candidates Robert Kennedy and Marjorie England would have taken the president and vice president positions.
In the original counting AGI gained a majority in the house of representatives, and POGO won the majority in the senate.
One unaffiliated student won a seat in the house.
POGO took 11 seats in the senate, 7 in the house; AGI took 9 seats in the senate, 9 in the house. The Married Students' Party won three seats in the senate and one in the house.
Harlan Parkinson, college junior,
was elected president of the senior
class. Other officers of the senior
class are Gene Schanze, vice pres-
ident. Martha Nienstedt, secretary,
and Dianne Miller, treasurer.
Officers of the junior class are Ralph Moody, president; Carol Mather, vice president; Beverly Jackson, secretary and Phil Coolidge treasurer.
Janice Ijams was elected president of the sophomore class with John Eland, vice president; Dave Leslie, secretary, and Ann Straub, treasurer.
Dick Myers, president of POGO, has registered two protests concerning yesterday's election with the Student court. Gary Davis, president of the MSP, has registered one protest.
The three protests were made because the two party heads believed there might have been ballot snatching at some of the polling places. One of the polling places where Myers said he found a discrepancy was in the Journalism building.
Results of ASC house and senate elections are on page seven.
Korn Chosen KU Candidate
Barbara Korn, fine arts sophmore, was chosen yesterday in the all-school election to represent the University in the College Queen of America contest.
Miss Korn, the 1953 Homecoming queen, was selected by the student body from four major queens on the campus.
The candidates were Sue Schmiederer, Carnival and Greek week queen; Dorolyn Humbarger, Military Ball queen; Shirley Jones, Independent Student Association queen, and Carol Shellhaas, Relays queen.
Sara Starry, former Jayhawker queen, won the College Queen of America contest in 1852.
