Frosh Elections Could Give FACTS Majority
Bv JIM BAIRD
A FACTS victory in the freshman elections Nov. 5 could the party a majority in both houses of the All Student Cou
Two senators are to be elected, a man and a woman. At present, Pachacamac and NOW hold 11 senate seats to FACTs' nine. There are two unaffiliated representatives in the senate, but their voting records to date indicate that they hold views that coincide with opposite parties.
In the house of representatives, there is an even split in the strength of the two factions, each having eight seats. Two men and from one to three women will be represented from the freshman class, according to provisions of the revised ASC constitution.
A report stating that one male representative would be elected and that candidates for ASC seats must submit a petition bearing 25 names was incorrect as reported in the Kansas recently. Express provision is made for the seating of two freshman men chosen in the freshman elections.
Petitions are required for candidates for any of the four officer positions, however.
the ASC uses proportional representation in all regular elections, which means that each party will select, in a primary, candidates, up to the maximum number of possible seats to be filled. In the senate, each party picks one man and one woman; in the house, each party picks up to two men and up to three women, and these are up to four candidates in each ballot. Non-partisan candidates appear on the ballot simply by filing a declaration of intent to run with the ASC elections committee.
Of the entire slate in the general election, the top one, two, or three persons are chosen, depending on how many positions of each kind are available.
Freshman women will choose from one to three representatives, depending on voter participation. The girls get one representative for each 150 women who vote.
The deadline for filing is Friday. No name will appear on the ballot until the elections committee has received the one dollar "candidate's fee." Dana Anderson, elections committee chairman, has ruled.
In previous years, the political parties also backed class officer candidates, but in the ASC reorganization last year the elections bill was to provide for the election of class officers on a non-partisan ballot.
The Associated Women Students will select two freshman women for the AWS house of representatives in an election to be held simultaneously with the ASC balloting.

Poles, Czechs Walkout
Pamunjumjin, Korea — (UP) — Polish and Czechoslovakian ministers delegates angrily stalked out of a meeting of the Neutral Nations Repatriation commission today and a breakdown in the questioning of anti-Red war prisoners was threatened.
The Red delegates staged their Russian-styled walkout because the commission turned down Red demands for the immediate interviewing of anti-Communist North Koreans who say they prefer to die rather than go home. The North Koreans refuse to face Red questioners.
Faced by a growing crisis, the commission notified the United Nations command that there will be no attempt to question anti-Red prisoners tomorrow.
A Communist correspondent who frequently acts as spokesman for the Communists said that the Reds may refuse to resume the questioning until the commission rules on their demand that they have the right to decide which prisoners—Chinese or North Koreans—are to be heared to the questioning tents each day.
While the situation became more explosive daily, the Peiping radio broadcast that Communist China accepts the proposal of the U.N. allies to confer here Oct. 26 to arrange for the Korean political conference to be held under the armistice agreement.
(The United States, British, and French foreign ministers in a week end note to Soviet Russia said that all Big Five world powers might attend the political conference. This would mean that Soviet Russia, officially a neutral, as well as the three western allies, Communist China, and North Korea would be present.)
Beria Supposedly In Southern Spain
San Diego, Calif., —(UP) A man whom at least five witnesses have identified as Lavrenti P. Beria, purged head of the Russian secret police, is—or was—in Southern Spain, the San Diego Union said today in a copyrighted story.
A reporter for the newspaper wrote from Madrid that for more than a month he has been working undercover with Spanish secret police and an intermediary for the man who claims to be Beria.

Naval Board Investigates Aircraft Carrier Explosion
Boston—(U,P)—A three-man naval board of inquiry met today to determine the cause of the explosion that killed 36 men and injured 40 others aboard the aircraft carrier Leyte while the vessel was moored at the South Boston Naval shipyard. There was a possibility of sabotage.
Rear Admiral Delbert S. Cornwall head the board which flew here from Washington yesterday. With him were Capt. Leonard O. Fox and Capt. Frank N. Turner, the other board members; two counselors and two technical advisors. The hearing was set up at First Naval District headquarters within sight of the damaged carrier.
Authorities still were unable to state definitely what caused the blast. It is believed to have occurred in the catapult room where hydraulic compression machinery to launch planes is housed.
was caused by a defect in the vessel's catapult system. As a result of this report filed at Norfolk, Va., other warships in the Navy were ordered to inspect their catapult gear.
nine officers, 23 enlisted men and four civilian workers were killed instantly when the mystery blast and fire shattered the interior bow section of the $90,000,000 warship.
"registrars of both publicly and privately supported institutions typically report 'small increase' and 'no considerable proportion' in response to our inquiry as to full-time students under the Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act o. 1952."
"The estimated increase of a few percentage points in full-time totals is a consequence of larger freshman classes." Dr. Walters commented. "The total of new students now exceeds that of a year ago just as, in turn, 1952 freshmen had topped the 1951 figure . . .
"A considerable proportion of the GI's who followed through their original application to the Veterans Administration are engaged in part-time study at urban universities thus receiving up to $50 per month educational entitlement while holding regular jobs.
Enrollment Up In U.S. Colleges
Dr. Raymond Walters, University of Cincinnati president and an authority on collegiate enrollment movements, reported this on the basis of estimates received from 506 approved institutions.
Cincinnati — (UP) — The trend of full-time students in U.S. universities and four-year colleges turned slightly upward this fall after five years of decreasing enrollments.
He pointed out that many Korean veterans, "chose rather to take well-paid jobs in industry and business so freely available."
The Cincinnati president believes abundance of jobs may be a factor in small decreases in full-time enrollments this fall as compared with last which are reported in universities in certain cities from East to West, most of them among what Dr. Walters terms the "Big 25."
Admiral Cornwall declined comment yesterday about the possibility of sabotage and explained that the "one and only job" of his board of inquiry was to "find the cause of the explosion."
The possibility of sabotage was an open question as the formal investigation began. "While sabotage does not seem likely at the moment," another Navy spokesman said, "that phase is being completely explored in this investigation."
Among public universities, 67 per cent reported gains ranging up to 14 per cent, 25 per cent no change, and 8 per cent decreases up to 7 per cent.
Of all institutions reporting, 58 per cent showed increases, 27 per cent no change, and 23 per cent decreases in estimated full-time enrollments.
"We will let the public and the press know as soon as possible and as much as possible," he added.
Among private universities, 8 per cent showed gains up to 7 per cent, 56 per cent no change, and 26 per cent decreases up to 14 per cent.
McCluggage Gives KLWN Talk Sunday
"Values become internalized as attitudes and the citizens of a society demonstrate in their personalities the dominant values of the culture," Prof. Marston M. McCluggage, acting chairman of the department of human relations, said Sunday in a radio talk over KLWN entitled, "When Greek Meets Greek—A Study in Values."
"We may think other people have no morals simply because they are so different from ours," Prof. McCluggage said. "But transgressions of the ways of one's own culture bring definite social disapproval even though such practices may be sanctioned elsewhere."
The program was the fourth in the "Ways of Mankind" series produced by Prof. Walter Goldschmidt of U.C.L.A. Sociology on the Air, now approaching its fourth year, is sponsored by the department of sociology and anthropology.

New Survey Bulletin Issued
"Composition of Some Uranium-Bearing Phosphate Nodules from Kanes Shales," a State Geological Survey bulletin was issued this week. The publication is one of a series based on State Geological survey analytical studies aimed at finding possible utilizations of certain eastern Kansas Pennsylvanian shales. Some of these same deposits have been reported on earlier as possible sources of low grade phosphatic fertilizer and oil shale.
Dewey Firm on Wicks
Albany, N. Y.-(UP)-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey stood firm today in his demand that acting Lt. Gov. Arthur H. Wicks quit because of his visits to a labor racketeer in Sing Sing prison.
The governor, close associates said, was not swerved by Mr. Wicks detailed explanation of his calls on extortionist Joseph (Joey) Fay for help in settling local labor disputes. The veteran Senator gave his side of the case in a statewide broadcast yesterday.
Gov. Dewey, who has laid his party leadership and political future on the line in his fight with Wicks, heard the broadcast from his farm at Pawling, N. Y.
In his broadcast, Mr. Wicks said he went to Fay because he was the 'one man' with enough influence to settle union jurisdictional disputes. He said Fay had settled pending labor trouble on three large public works projects in his district, including the state throughway.
including the state that Mr.
Wicks thought it "obnoxious"
that he had to deal with a convict but. Fay was "the one man whom labor trusted and in whom they had confidence."
"My only purpose in going was to keep labor peace and avoid jurisdictional strikes in my senatorial district," he told his listeners.
"That is what I accomplished. That is all that I accomplished. And that is all that I sought to accomplish. So help me God."
