North Korean Gen. Nam Il, chief Red negotiator, called the offer "unworthy of refutation," and accused the UN of taking a "step backward."
Of the 100,000 Koreans held by the Allies, 32,600 have said they would forcibly resist a return to Communism. The UN offer additionally would leave 14,500 anti-communist Chinese prisoners in care of a neutral custodian.

New Council Takes Office After Old Unit Closes Shop
Robert Rounseville, tenor, will present the final concert of the University Concert series in connection with the music festival at 8:20 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium.
Concert Course Finale Tonight
Although his reputation as one of America's most versatile young tenors was established in concert in three seasons singing leading roles at New York City opera, and in last year's title role of the Rake in the world premier of the Stravinky opera "The Rake's Progress" Mr. Rounseville may be remembered by theater goers for his singing and acting in the recent technicolor extravaganza film, "The Tales of Hoffman."
Included in the program will be "Fruhlingstraum" by Schubert; "Ein Traum" by Brahm; "Minnelied" by Grieg; "Romanian Falan Dances" by Bartok; "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 11" by Liszt; "Dancing Master's Ariette, from "Adridne auf Naxos," by Strauss; and Shir Hashirim, from "The Dybvk" by Tampkin.
Students will be admitted free upon presentation of ID cards.

400 USC Students Cause 'Major Riot'
Los Angeles—U.P.)—Some 400 rioting University of Southern California students touched off huge bonfires, knocked the caps off fire hydrants and tried to overturn a police car early today because, according to one, "we're crazy with the heat."
Fifteen police cars answered the "major riot" call as shirtless male students and barefoot coeds raged up and down the street tossing furniture into the fires and laughing at police and firemen.
"We're crazy with the heat," shouted one student, as officers attempted to quell the riot.
Several youths invaded a nearby sorority house, according to police, and emerged with several articles of lingerie. They were chased from the house by barefoot coeds who took part in the fray.

A GOOD JOB—A needy institution will benefit as a result of a clothing drive conducted during Greek week by the Inter-fraternity council with the cooperation of Lawrence townspeople. St. Francis Boys' home, an Episcopal organization near Salina, will receive more than 300 pounds of clothes collected by the IFC from students. Mrs. O. M. Hixon, Lawrence, mended the clothes and Lindley's Kansas Cleaners contributed their services in cleaning them. Shown examining some of the clothes are the Rev. Robert C. Swift, Episcopal minister; Walter
Rickel, pharmacy senior, and Mrs. Hixon.
President Dick Sheldon, college junior, assumed his office at 9:45 p.m., and in a few minutes both houses were sworn into the new Council.
As its first piece of business, the ASC, on motion by Patricia Reynolds, senator from the Graduate school, approved the retaining of Geoffrey Weston, special student, as Senate representative for foreign students for the rest of this year. A new representative for this group is to be elected in the fall.
Both houses separated a few minutes after their inception for the purpose of selecting officers to conduct their business. Senator Diane Foltz, pharmacy junior, was elected secretary of the Senate, and that chamber's president pro tempore will be Dean Glasco, engineering junior.
Senator Donald Tice, journalism union, was approved as secretary of the public relations department, one of three large ASC divisions in which the various committees are to be grouped.
The House of Representatives, conducted by vice president Gene Rogers, engineering junior, chose as its secretary Joe Woods, pharmacy junior. The House also approved four persons to staff the committee on committees.
Suggested by Sheldon, they were Margaret Smith, college freshman; Nancy Landon, college junior; Vernon Lemon, graduate, and Althea Rexroad, college sophomore. The placement of Dennis Henderson, college junior, as the committee's head received only an 8-9 vote. Rogers said Henderson could not be considered approved by the House because the eight votes were not two-thirds of the House, which, he said, was essential.
After the meeting, it was brought to Rogers' attention that he had ruled erroneously on this, and that approval of appointments needed only two-thirds of those voting instead of two-thirds of the total House membership.
In other business, the ASC heard reports by committee heads on their groups' work during the year. On recommendation of the Little Hoover commission, large sections of the ASC constitution were either removed, shortened, or edited to bring them to a more useful status.
Before the old ASC expired, James Houghton, second year law, was approved to serve the remaining year of the term of Student Court justice Reuben Short. When Houghton's name was submitted by president Nancy Canary, a recess was granted to allow Council members to discuss the appointment.
