Alligator Couple Gets Costume Ball Award
Eddie Maag, engineering senior, and Julie York, education junior, were judged the best-costumed couple at the Beaux Arts ball Saturday night.
The two "Pogo alligators" had green tails so long that they had to be chained around their shoulders to allow the couple to dance. A live chicken was presented to them as first prize.
Sally Schroeder, fine arts sophomore, was named best-costumed girl at the dance. She was covered with autumn leaves and had pig-tails sticking out from her head and bedecked with more leaves.
Appearing as something unrealistic with an elaborate hat, David Johnson was judged the man with the best costume.
Much to the amazement of spectators, Robert Laughlin, engineering sophomore, and Jeannine De Groot, fine arts sophomore who appeared as Greek columns, were not only dancing together but were jitterbugging. They took second prize.

Cartoon Display Opens Tomorrow
Cartoons to be displayed include the work of Rube Goldberg, George McMannus, J. N. Darling, Fred Opper, Clare Briggs, George McCutcheon, and others who have gained importance in the field. The collection has been presented to the University by Mr. Reid, over a period of several years, but it has not been displayed extensively before this time.
The cartoons to be displayed include the original drawings of many well-known comic strips, in addition to humorous and political cartoons.
3-D TV Test Approved

The FCC granted an experimental permit for 3-D TV to American broadcasting-Paramount theatres, Inc., for demonstrations during the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters convention opening at Los Angeles.
Repatriation Still Blocks Hope for Korean Armistice
Panmunjom—(U.P.)—United Nations and Communist truce negotiators split today on four points concerning the repatriation of prisoners under an armistice, but there was growing hope a compromise may be shaping up.
The points of disagreement were:
1. Neither neutral country shall take
charge of Communist prisoners who
refuse to go home.
2. Whether these prisoners shall remain in Korea.
3. How long the prisoners shall remain in custody.
4. What is to happen to those who refuse repatriation under any circumstances.
It was believed in some quarters that a compromise was possible
under which the UN would accept a Communist proposal to make India the neutral custodian of anti-repatriate prisoners and the Communists would agree that the prisoners be kept in Korea until their status has been determined finally.
Lt. Gen. William H. Harrison,
Senior UN delegate, today rejected
a six-point Communist proposal by
which prisoners who refuse repatriation would be taken to an unspecified country and kept there for six months. After that, the status of those who still refused to go home would be settled at a political conference.
After the meeting, Gen. Harrison emphasized that the truce negotiations are just getting under way again and there is "no real basis for assuming the Communists will not
negotiate in good faith."
"Operation little switch," the exchange of sick and wounded prisoners, continued on a one-way basis today along with the truce talks.
The UN handed over 499 more Communist prisoners at the exchange center here, including 50 mental cases. It will take until Friday for the delivery of the last of the 6,033 Communist prisoners the UN promised to free.
The Communists announced Sunday that their part of the exchange has been completed with the handling over of 684 UN prisoners including 149 Americans.
Daily hansan
Communists have not yet replied to a UN proposal for a continuing exchange of ailing prisoners until the war ends.

Sheldon Says -
Court Appointments to Be Unbiased
All Student Council president-elect Dick Sheldon, college junior, today announced that his appointments to the Student court will probably be law students who have had no connection with any faction in campus politics.
"It seems like a better idea to have such non-partisans on the Court," he said. Sheldon said the move was not necessarily a reflection on present or past Court justices.
Sheldon said he will announce the
Tomorrow the old ASC will try
Court appointments and certain Council appointments in about a week. His appointments are subject to Council approval.
Most important of his appointments regarding the new reorganization, Sheldon said, will be the naming of the Committee on Committees, a group composed of members of both houses which appoints the heads of several other major committees.
to clear up its business so that in the weeks to come the new Council will have as few difficulties as possible, he said.
The new president, backed by FACTS party, said he thinks the newly elected Council "a very fine group," and said the FACTS-Pach split of ASC power probably won't prove to be of much consequence.
"I'm making my appointments with as little regard to partisanship as possible," he explained.
