6 Greek Houses Form Non-Pach Coalition Party
By TOM LYONS
The formation of a Greek-Independent party around an initial core of six "maverick" Greek houses and Battenfeld hall took place at a meeting Saturday morning.
The six Greek organization which seceded from the recently organized Pachacamac-NOW combination are Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Tau Omega, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, social fraternities; and Kappa Alpha Theta and Chi Omega, social sororities.
If members of FACTS party now on the All Student Council vote "with" the Greek-Independent coalition, their combined votes will be a majority in both ASC houses.
Norman Capps, business junior representing Phi Gamma Delta, said. "The idea for the new party started back in November when a number of Pachacamac people on the council became dissatisfied because they didn't feel they had a free choice of how to vote—they felt they had to conform to the party line."
Most of the "rebels" agreed that the point system, which Pach has employed in the past and will continue to use in its new coalition with NOW, is not consistent. The system has been used by Pach to regulate the number of candidates each house can nominate. Spokesmen for the "rebels" said that the "no control" scheme has best candidates, and therefore "has defeated the whole purpose of a political party."
"Much of the apathy of the student body toward student government has been due to a long history of political conniving by Pach, which we seek to eliminate," said Dick Sheldon, college senior representing Phi Delta Theta.
"Although Pach has a clause in its constitution that, allows Independents to join, we feel they will find some way of getting around it—they always have in the past," said Betty Gard, education junior representing Kappa Alpha Theta. "We won't just allow Independents to join—we'll urge them," she added.
Gene Rogers, engineering senior from Battenfeld, said he thought the possibility of other Independent halls following Battenfeld's lead was "very good."
Phog Criticizes Student Behavior
Tax Cuts May Face Ike Veto
Basketball Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen this morning criticized sportsmanship shown at last Friday's game, answered a charge made against him by Missouri Coach Sparky Stalcup, and pleaded that the Colorado team be treated tonight as "our guests and not have to undergo another Roman holiday."
Washington — (U,P) — Democrats driving for a hike in income tax exemptions were on notice today that they may run into a Presidential veto even if they should carry the day in Congress.
Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey said last night that unless there is a "drastic" change in the economy he will urge President Eisenhower to veto any bill to raise exemptions.
He said the administration's own 25-point tax revision program is a "well thought out" plan to relieve hardships, create more jobs and stimulate business activity. Boosting exemptions, he said, would cost the government billions and "present circumstances do not call for more deficit spending."
Democratic charges that the administration program favors the wealthy are more "political propaganda," he said. He insisted that two-thirds of the tax relief called for in the administration bill would go to individual taxpayers.
Democrats in both the House and Senate are throwing considerable weight behind general income tax relief through increased exemptions. They hope to make it a winning issue in the congressional elections this fall.

Socialist
Blasts McCarthy
Bv LEO HACK
"Few people have attained as much fame in as short a time as has Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis)," Leo Huberman, who tested the use of the first amendment in his defense before the Senator's committee, said Saturday in a speech sponsored by Upstream magazine.
The speaker read from the book "McCarthy, the Man, the Senator, the Ism," by Jack Anderson, saying that the Wisconsin junior senator and three of his friends decided upon communism as a campaign issue a month before Sen. McCarthy's Wheeling. W. Va., speech.
"Joe McCarthy jumped on the anti-Communist bandwagon not because of communism, but to stay in office." Mr. Huberman said.
"In the Wheeling speech Sen. McCarthy said he had a list of 205 Communists who were working in the State department. That statement was as untrue as it was dramatic." Mr. Huberman declared.
"The next day Sen. McCarthy changed it to 205 bad security risks, later to 57 card-carrying communists and finally, on the Senate floor, he changed it to three big Communists." Mr. Huberman continued.
"He voted for the Taft-Hartley law, for the Kerr bill to increase gas rates, and he voted to give tidelands oil to the states. He voted against rent controls, federal aid to education, and low cost housing when veterans desperately needed it". Mr. Huberman declared.
Mr. Huberman, co-editor of Monthly Review, independent Socialist magazine, said Sen McCarthy's formula for staying in power was to make charges, "Charges make publicity, publicity makes votes, and votes make power," Mr. Huberman said.
After his speech, Mr. Huberman was asked why he was summoned before Sen. McCarthy's committee. Mr. Huberman said that Sen. McCarthy telephoned him after the senator had discovered some of Mr. Huberman's books in the United States overseas libraries.
"McCarthy's following cuts all class lines, but most of it lies in three groups." Mr. Huberman defined these as Texas oil millionaires, the extreme right wing of the Republican party, and an element of the Roman Catholic church.
"I have never been a member of the Communist party. However, like millions of other non-Communists throughout the world, I am a Marxist and Socialist and believe in working together with others, including Communists, to the extent that their aims and methods are consistent with mine," Mr. Huberman continued.
Mr. Huberman told the committee that his freedom as a writer and editor were fully protected from Congressional interference by the first amendment to the Constitution.
"The Texas oil millionaires, who have found new wealth in the last 20 years through favorable federal tax policies, are an unlimited financial help to the senator. Most of the other McCarthy backers are less spectacular and less wealthy," Mr. Huberman said.
"Another source of power is the extreme right wing of the Republican party. It is comprised of many old Taft followers, Colonel (Robert) old Taft followers, Colonel (Robert R.) McCormick, and William Randolph Hearst Jr," Mr. Huberman said.
"Those who are concerned about McCarthy's rising power can best oppose him by exposing his voting
- "I was grieved and shocked at the behavior of our home audience here against Oklahoma A & M." Allen said. "Booing of the officials can only be construed as an effort to intimidate them in favor of the home team.
"Instead of helping our boys, the pseudo-sportsmen among our crowd only make it rougher on our team when it plays away from home since the hosts often retaliate for the sights done their boys while here"
In the A & M game, won by KU 66-55, the referees were Alex George of Kansas City and John Fraser of Illinois. Officials tonight will be John Lloyd and Bon Cilley.
"Coach Stalep, who scouted the game, said in a radio interview over KVOO, Tulsa, the sportsmanship of the Kansas crowd was the worst he'd ever seen," the KU coach said. "He further said that my statement following our game at Colorado concerning the behavior of the Colorado crowd was simply a smudge.
"I want to assure Coach Stalcup that my statement at that time was not a smudge, but an expression against something which I do not believe belongs in college athletics, namely voiciferous glee over the misfortune of a visiting player and verbal ridicule of that player."
Hitting at the booing that occurred here Friday, the 65-year-old coach said "This action is not only a harmful reflection of the University, but it is hurting the game itself.
"In the A & M game our home crowd set a sorry example for the high schools of our state, who always have made a serious effort toward good sportsmanship. Many high school students subconsciously follow the actions and attitude of the University student body.
Ninety-nine per cent of college basketball players play cleanly through a game. They are the ones under pressure. There is no excuse, therefore, for the venomous verbal assaults heaped upon the players by some unguided fans.
The University of Colorado is our guest in a game tonight which may determine the championship. I hope and trust we will treat them as our guests and not undergo another Roman holiday."
