FACTS Quits To Join AG-I
Ascent of K-2 To Be Shown
Mr. Craig's description of the expedition will be illustrated by colored slides and a movie. This movie of the American attempt on K2 appeared on a national television show a month ago. The colored slides were taken by members of the expedition.
K2 is located in the Himalayan mountains of northern Pakistan. Mr. Craig, was a member of the climbing party which reached an altitude of 25:500 feet on the 28,250 mountain. The climbers were turned back by severe storms after spending 10 days above 25,000 feet. On the descent, Art Gilkey, geologist from Iowa, was swept to his death by an avalanche. The other climbers returned safely.
FACTS independent political party dissolved last night and has stated that it is in favor of the Allied Greek-Independents and what they are trying to accomplish.
Attempts to climb K-2, the second highest mountain in the world by the American Alpine club will be the theme of an illustrated lecture, to be given by Robert Craig today at 8 p.m. in Fraser theater.
"The work we have begun is be ing continued in the new party," said Bob Laughlin, college junior, who presented the resolution which dissolved the party.
The resolution said, "FACTS political party accepts the principles of AG-I as being in accordance with the ideals and aims that FACTS has originated and pursued, and since the present campus situation does not lend itself to the divided efforts of FACTS and AG-I, it is the feeling that a union between Greek and Independent is not a move to break up the Greek system but to further cooperation between the two. This will bring about better, more comprehensive student government, which cannot be done by the move of certain individuals to split the Greeks away from FACTS and to establish FACTS as a purely independent party.
"FACTS party, by a unanimous vote of the governing body is duly proclaimed dissolved, effective March 23, 1954."
Weather
AG-L which now has a membership of 14 Greek houses and 7 organized independent halls, is a newly organized campus political party.
Gene Rogers, engineering senior and vice president of AG-1, told the members of the dissolved FACTS party that AG-1 wanted them to join immediately and enter the closed primary next week.
After the party had been dissolved a motion was passed that all of FACTS equipment and office space be turned over to AG-I. Another motion was passed that all FACTS memberships be terminated as of March 23.

This is the final classification of average student wages on the six
In arriving at a final figure the committee figured tuition, and dormitory expenses and compared these figures with the amount paid students for various types of campus work. This included clerks, typists, stenographers, dishwashers, and departmental jobs.
