Politico's Proving Ground —
Rogers, Woods Outline Plans
Editor's Note: This is the second of a series which will continue through Tuesday. Today's articles concern the views of the two candidates for the ASC vice presidency.
By GENE ROGERS
FACTS Candidate For ASC Vice Presidency
Functions of the new House of Representatives in the All Student Council include extra-curricular activities and student welfare.
For the past two years, FACTS has been doing constructive work in these fields, including such problems as student wages, housing labor relations, and special problems concerning minority groups.
FACTS has been limited in its actions by the general opposition of the other party. An example is Pachaacama's opposition to a FACTS-proposed bill establishing a permanent labor committee, despite the fact that last spring plank No. 4 in the Pach platform proposed to increase the services of the then temporary labor committee.
If elected, I would concentrate my efforts toward raising student wages—even working to see that the matter is brought before the Kansas Legislature. I also believe the housing committee should be a more powerful group, and should have the power and duties to approve or disapprove Lawrence private homes.
The new House of Representatives affords a means for greater effort to be made to alleviate such problems, provided the party is elected that has shown by its previous record to be definitely interested in student problems.
Establishment of bi-cameral ASC, including a House of Representatives with members elected by residence groups, was supported by both parties. This was a rare event.
The reasons for agreeing were different, in that FACTS firmly believed that representation on a residence basis was mandatory. On the other hand, it is my belief that Pach's primary motive was that it would just afford a considerable number of new offices to be filled by local members.
We should remember that nothing can be done about a "do_nothing" ASC unless the persons who desire a change cast their votes—and vote for a party which wants to, can, and will make a change.
Bv JOE WOODS
Pachacamac Candidate For ASC Vice Presidency
I have been asked to express my opinion as to how I would coordinate the activities of the House, if elected.
A bill was passed in Tuesday's ASC meeting introducing committee systems. Passage of this act was a grave mistake and was made possible by a threatened filibuster. It was jammed through with surprising—and unfortunate — haste. ASC regulations specify that no bill shall be voted upon until the meeting FOLLOWING its introduction. In this case, that provision was waived.
This will be my first concern if elected. Next, since my jurisdiction will probably include the general fields of publication, athletics, housing, labor, parking, social activities, and traditions, I suggest a positive plan of action to be carried out as soon as possible after the organization of the new Council.
It is my firm conviction, first, that the present Council lacked the authority to make any such decision for the reorganized Council, and second, that when the time comes for such decisions, the reorganized Council should not only rectify the error, but should take appropriate steps to safeguard the rights of the student body in the future.
The following measures are, I believe, of primary importance:
1. That a position of coordinator of publications be established, filled by a man (non-student) trained in the publishing business, who would oversee the operations of all campus publications.
2. That the right to transfer ID cards be retained.
3. That a student planning board be established to more fully weigh student opinion, for wider student participation in campus government. All interested activities and all parties would be represented in regular meetings. In addition, a campus affairs camp would be held prior to the fall semester to map out the year's activities and propose plans for action by the Council.
Letters
Collegians Leader Clears Up Mixup
Editor, Daily Kansan:
These have arisen as a result of the letters which recently were printed by the University.
I would like to correct several misconceptions which have developed about the dance band which I lead. The Collegians.
The first was labeled "Ring Dance Band Corny" and was obviously dig my own good band from Kansas State which played for the Senior Ring dance.
The dance Mr. "X" referred to after the KU-Indiana game was played for by the Collegegians especially for the students. We are glad you enjoyed it, Mr. "X", but can see no reason to knock other organizations.
The second letter by Miss Terry Fiske confused the Senior Ring dance with the Navy Ring dances, for which my band did play.
It also confused my name and the Collegians orchestra. We sincerely appreciate the fact that Miss Fiske thinks that my band "plays music as it was originally intended," but not that the Collegians orchestra is actually playing this music. Obviously this is impossible since my orchestra is the Collegians.
Miss Fiske and Mr. "X", we would like to have the facts straight. The Karl Abbott orchestra and the Collegians are the same, and we played for the Navy Ring dance—not the Senior Ring dance.
(Editor's Note: All letters must be typewritten, signed, limited to 400 words, and in good taste if the writer wishes in good terms games will be withheld upon request.)

Detroit — (U.P.) James A. Rothermell, 22, charged with trying to outdistance a police car at 90 miles per hour, explained: "I thought it was just somebody who wanted to race, so I floored it." Traffic Judge John D. Watts打飚 Rothermell with a $25 fine and six months' probation without driving privileges.
Cole, New Housing Chief Was Active Kansas Politico
Albert Cole, head of the giant Housing and Home Finance agency, long has been active in state and national politics.
A resident of Holton, Kan., he was elected to the 79th Congress as a representative from the first district of Kansas, and continued in this position throughout the 80th, 81st, and 82nd Congresses. He was defeated last fall by Howard Miller, Democrat, over the Tuttle Creek dam issue.
Their objections, based on Cole's voting record in the House in 1943, 1951, and 1952, were that he did not represent the middle way, and that he was a consistent opponent of public housing—the program he was appointed to administer.
Cole's nomination by President Eisenhower as chairman of this federal committee met with overwhelming approval except from Walter Reuther, CIO president, and left-wing Democrats Lehman of New York, Humphrey of Minnesota, Douglas of Illinois, and, of course, the self-styled "independent" from Oregon. Sen. Morse.
The 51-year-old former representative, who succeeded James

Foley, had been under the surveillance of the President for several months, and close observers believe that it is the desire of both men to consolidate many of the 40-odd agencies which make up the HHFA, and to cut out many others.
Born in Moberly, Mo., Cole was a student at Washburn college from 1920-23, and received his LLB, from the University of Chicago in 1925. He was married in 1927, and has two children.
Mail subscription rates: $3 a semester or $4.50 a year (add $1 a semester if in Lawrence). Published in Lawrence, Kan., every afternoon during the University year except Saturdays and Sundays, holds holiday and exam periods. Entered second class matter Sept 17, 1910, at Lawrence, Kan., Post Office under act of March 3, 1879.
He was admitted to the Kansas bar in 1925, and practiced law in Holton from 1925-45. He served as both county and city attorney. He was a member of the Kansas legislative council, and was elected a state senator in 1945.

Handy Rules Can Guide College Red Probers
Attention Joe McCarthy: If you want to know the secrets behind communism in the colleges, seek no further. Here is the answer.
Teachers may be divided into five classificatio
1. Those who give you A's—good, red-blooded, 100 per cent Americans.
A thorough investigation should begin with these men.
5. Those who give you F's—catch these quick. They're not only
4. Those who give you D's—definitely socialistic, have shady pasts.
5. A thorough investigation should begin with these men.
2. Those who give you B's—have good standing in the community, vote the Republican ticket.
3. Those who give you U C=s-caption, there may be infiltration here.
These are common, ordinary men with the usual weaknesses.
4. Those who give you D' s-definitely socialistic, hence paste.
tainted red, they have definite ringleader tendencies.
Simple, isn't it? Good hunting Joe.—Bob Nold
Short Ones
Residents of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., can rest easy now—the swallows returned right on schedule. Traditionally, the swallows come back to the mission about dawn on St. Joseph's day, March 19, and priests at the famous old mission reported that a full complement was on hand.
President Eisenhower has displayed apparent concern over the high cost of living at 1600 Pennsylvania ave., a close friend reported last week. Mr. Eisenhower related that he had been told that being president would cost him $25,000 a year over and above his salary, but he now believes that on the basis of a recent check that figure would be conservative. Just goes to show no one is exempt from high prices.
