Schools Discuss Union Problems
Student union problems, programs, and systems of management were compared by representatives from 15 schools attending the convention of the eighth region of the Association of College Unions last weekend.
The convention was organized into discussion groups led by students from the visiting schools. In addition, a workshop was held for staff members to study the problems of union management.
Dr. Earl E. Haper of the University of Iowa gave the keynote address, stressing the need for unions and the functions they can fulfill. Through its activities, he said, a union should offer the student all aspects of life.
Harold E. Pride, representing Iowa State college, talked on "What's New, What's Through." A discussion followed in which each representative presented adopted and abandoned activities.
The discussions were broken up Saturday morning to consider the different problems of large and small campuses. Some schools expressed the difficulty of high prices charged by bands and others told of the low attendance at special activities.
While no solutions to the problems were reached, the general discussion pointed out the same problems being encountered by schools of equal size.
Publicity for student union functions was discussed at the Sat. morning session. The representative from Nebraska university presented his school's method of using television.
At the closing luncheon and conference business session. Paul Bartlett from Iowa university was elect-new regional chairman.

Proposals To Treaty Policy Given
Washington—(U.P.)—Senate leaders pressed for a vote today on two minor changes to Sen. John W. Bricker's amendment to curb the President's treaty-making powers.
Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland said he hoped to get votes today on GOP-sponsored proposals that call for:
1. A rule that any future Senate action to ratify a treaty must be by a roll call vote.
2. A change in Article VI of the Constitution to prescribe that no treaty can become supreme law of the United States "unless made in pursuance of this Constitution."
The first vote in the lengthy treaty fight came yesterday on a Republican-sponsored change in the Bricker amendment to nullify international agreements, in addition to treaties, when they conflict with the Constitution. The proposal was adopted 62 to 20.
Sen. Knowland said the vote was not a clear indication of the strength of the various forces involved in the treaty battle. But he said the 20 nay votes may indicate how many senators want no change in the Constitution at all.
Sen. Knowland said he hopes to get a final action on the proposal by Thursday. In the meantime, Sen. Knowland said, he, Sen. Homer Ferguson, Bricker (R.-Ohio), and Sen. Walter E. George (D.-Ga.) would continue to seek a compromise acceptable to President Eisenhower and two-thirds of the Senate.
Other Congressional developments: Indo-China: The Senate Foreign Relations committee began secret-hearings on the Indo-China situation with Democrats demanding to
know how the Administration plans to stop the Communist successes without direct U.S. intervention.
Postal Pay: Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield was called before the House post office committee to discuss proposals to give the nation's 530,000 postal employees a pay boost.
Warren: The Justice department said the FBI will investigate Chief Justice Earl Warren at the behest of a Senate judiciary subcommittee which is considering his nomination. The subcommittee gave Warren's critics until midnight tomorrow to file protests against the former California governor.
Satellites: Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) introduced a resolution asking Congress and the United States to withdraw recognition from governments of Russian satellite nations.
ROTC Group To Initiate 3
A railroad spike slung over the shoulder, a white helmet, a broom with at least six inches of straw, and a 12-inch square sign on their backs make it easy to recognize Pershing Rifles candidates.
Three students are being initiated into the Army ROTC club this week. Candidates are Eugene Gooding, graduate student in chemical engineering; Pat H. Canary, sophomore, and Gerald Vincent, freshman, both in engineering.
Initiation drill from 12:30 to 1 p.m. each day this week in front of the Journalism building will give students an opportunity to admire the full dress regalia. They will join the Rifles as "hiking" members in final initiation ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Military Science building.

He's a Navigation Officer . . . plotting his plane's course .. with an entire crew depending on him for a safe flight.
What is the Aircraft Observer?
IN THE still of the night-high above a sleeping American city—an unidentified aircraft is spotted. In a matter of seconds a lightning-like jet interceptor takes to the air. Unerringly, with an Aircraft Observer showing the way, the Air Force F-94 Night Fighter speeds to intercept the stranger. The Aircraft Observer is the man behind the pilot—the officer who keeps America's planes flying on course and on target. Without him the Air Force couldn't do its job.
He's an Aircraft Performance Engineer Officer . . . knowing everything there is to know about his plane. . . keeping it fit for the skies and ready for action.
He's a Radar Officer . . . employing an all seeing eye that penetrates where human sight fails.
He's a Bombardment Officer . . . in full control of the plane over the target area . . . the Air Force Officer who "lowers the boom" on the enemy.
What the Aircraft Observer gets
He earns over $5,000 a year. His silver Aircraft Observer wings give him prestige and distinction, and he wears the bars of an Air Force Lieutenant. They mark him as the eyes, ears, and brains of America's Number One flying team.
What it takes to be an Aircraft Observer
The Aircraft Observer must be sound of limb, keer. of mind, and above all, must have the determination to be the best.
To qualify as an Aircraft Observer you must be single, between 19 and $26 \frac{1}{2}$ years old, and a high school graduate. However, it will be better for you and the Air Force if you stay in college and graduate before you apply. Then you, too, can be one of the best...as an Aircraft Observer.
