Tidelands Passes In Senate Fight
The bill gives coastal states title to the land and resources under the sea from coast line to historic seaward boundaries. The boundaries lie three miles off the shores of most states and 10½ miles in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas and west Florida
The bill now goes to a conference committee. House and Senate differences must be ironed out before it reaches the White House for President Dwight D. Eisenhower's promised signature. Mr. Eisenhower and other Republicans campas las fall on a promise to support such legislation.
Jet Ace to Pick Queen For AFROTC Dance
At stake in the long and bitter fight between backers of state and federal control of the Tidelands are rich underwater oil and gas deposits off California, Louisiana, and Texas. Foes of the bill have estimated these resources may be worth as much as $300 billion.
Washington—(U.P.)—The Senate today passed the historic bill to give coastal states ownership of oil-rich offshore lands after five weeks of stormy debate.
The nation's leading jet ace, Col. Royal N. Baker, will choose the honorary cadet colonel to reign at the Air Force ROTC "Sabre Dance" May 15 in the Student Union ballroom.
Passage of the Tidelands bill came after its backers beat down a rash of proposed amendments. The House has passed similar legislation surrendering the federal government's claim to the offshore lands. $ \textcircled{a} $
Pictures of the three finalists, Carolyn Nardyz, college junior; Peggy Hughes, college sophomore, and Betty Rieger, education junior, will be sent to Col. Baker at his home in McKinney, Texas.
Col. Baker, 32-year-old veteran of 125 missions in Korea in the F-68 Sabre jet, destroyed 12 Russian-built MIGs to become our country's leading jet pilot. Col. Baker has been assigned to Wright Patterson Air Force base, Dayton, Ohio, where he will work with the new F-102 delta-wing Convair fighter.
The Air Force dance has been named the "Sabre Dance" in honor of the F-86 Sabre jet which has become famous because of its success in the air war in Korea. Decorations for the dance will be centered around squadron insignias of the units using the Sabre jet, including a large reproduction of the insignia of Col. Baker's squadron.

Play Wins Pulitzer For KU Graduate
Mr. Inge, who also wrote the Pulitzer winner "Come Back Little Sheba", majored in drama under Prof. Allen Crafton, now on leave from the University.
Kansas-born Bill Inge, KU '35,
has been awarded the Pulitzer
drama prize for his Broadway hit
play "Picnic."
Mr. inge writes out of his memories of the middle west treating his characters objectively as human beings. His women, he says, are a recollection of all kinds he used to know sitting on their front porches on a summer evening.
"Picnic" is the story of commonplace people in a small Kansas town whose chief duties are cutting grass, preparing food for a Labor Day picnic, making dresses, gossiping, and courting. Into this phlegmatic existence comes Hal Carter, a show-off, braggart, and flatterer, who is at odds with both himself and society.
Butler to Teach at Amherst
John F. Butler, instructor of English, has been appointed to a similar position at Amherst college in Massachusetts, his alma mater. Before coming here, Mr. Butler studied at Brown university, Providence, R.I., where he earned the M.A. degree and is awaiting the Ph.D. degree.

Heavy Fog Brings Firemen to Miller
A heavy fog moved in on the top of Mt. Oread at about 3:15 a.m. this morning and a large delegation from Lawrence fire station No. 1 came up to meet it.
The fog looked very much like heavy billows of smoke, or at least the girls at Miller hall thought so, because they turned in the alarm, bringing the fire fighters out in force.
