The intermission program for the Kansas Relays dance, to be from 8 to midnight Saturday in the Union ballroom, was announced today.
Debaters Argue On Investigators
HAL McINTYRE
Agreeing that congressional investigating committees serve a useful purpose, debaters from Missouri University and KU argued current practices of investigation last night in the Little theater in Green hall.
Affirmative debaters Kent Shearer, second year law, Kansas, and Jim Windsor of Missouri, defined the original purpose of the committees is "to provide members of congress with sufficient information upon which to base legislation."
Negative debaters Jack Stewart, first year law, Kansas, and Ed Travis of Missouri contended that the original purpose, though realized, is subverted and the methods demanded by that purpose are dangerous. An example given was the "smeer campaign" initiated by Senator McCarthy.
Replying affirmatively, Shearer stated that a great deal of legislation, based on findings of commissions, is now being used to contain both the external and internal threat of communism. He said this legislation can be attributed to the use of the practices which the negative condemned. "Further," he stated, "McCarthy's charges have not come from congressional committees but from the floor of the senate."
Prof. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech and drama, has resigned as national president of Delta Sigma Rho, honorary speech fraternity, after serving 11 years in the post.
He resigned at the fraternity's national convention and student congress in Chicago April 9-11 in order to accept a trusteeship in the organization.
Buehler Resigns Fraternity Post
University students participating in the 33-school meeting were Bill Nulton and Ann Ivester, college senior, and Lee Baird, college sophomore.
Three acts have been chosen for the dance intermission at 10 p.m. Mary Wiederman, college sophomore, and Donna Carter, fine arts junior will do a soft-shoe dance, accompanied on the piano by Walter Muller, college freshman.
John Benson, college sophomore will do a magic act, and a quartet from the Beta Theta Pi fraternity will sing. The quartet, known as the "Rovers" includes Edward Freeberg, engineering sophomore, and Dale Darnell, Laurence Price, and Gerald Scott, college sophomores.
United Nations, N.Y.—(U.P.)-The United States and Russia were expected to battle orally today on Poland's "peace" resolution, the major Soviet propaganda effort at this session of the United Nations General Assembly.
During the intermission, Margaret Louise Allen, the Kansas Relays queen, and her attendants, Charleen Dunn, and Vivian Graber will be introduced.
Chairmen for the dance are; ticket sales, Donald Landes; publicity, Nelson Perkins, Mary Lou Rickman, and Wilbur Larkin and Relays parade, Carol Mather.
Miss Allen is a college freshman. Miss Dunn is a senior at Kansas State college, and Miss Graber is a senior at Wichita university.
Tickets for the dance are on sale at the information booth and at organized houses. Admission is $1 per person.
Both Ernest A. Gross and Andrei Y. Vishinsky were listed to speak this afternoon in the political committee. But it was unlikely that the 60-nation group would reach a vote before tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.
Hal McIntyre and his band will play for the dance. Mr. McIntyre got his start with Glenn Miller, the well-known band leader who was killed in South Africa in World War II. After playing with his band for four years, Mr. McIntyre was urged to start his own orchestra.
Peace Proposal Up for Debate
Brazil's introduction of a new resolution designed to keep Korean truce talks in Pamunjum and out of the UN was expected to lengthen the list of speakers in the debate that has already lasted a week.
Amiya Chakravarty, visiting professor of humanities, suggested at a Colorado university seminar last night that Red China be permitted to join the United Nations.
Admit Red China To UN, Indian Says
Mr. Chakravarty, who was former advisor to the Indian delegation to the UN, believes that if Red China had been in the UN before the Korean war it would never have become involved in the conflict.
As a principal speaker at the seminar he said that the UN started the Korean war when it divided Korea without the consent of the Koreans. He thinks the Asians feel that Korea belonged to the Koreans, not the dominant powers of the UN.

Responsibility for the punishment of dishonest work had been lodged with the deans of the various schools.
Senate Takes Action
The disciplinary committee membership shall be the dean of men, dean of women, the academic deans of the accused students, and six students selected by the All Student council.
The University Senate yesterday authorized a University disciplinary committee to investigate reports of dishonest work and other disciplinary problems and to assess penalties.
Faculty to Probe Cheating
The creation of a probable student majority on the committee represents a new approach for student responsibility in the cheating program.
Further senate amendments:
"The disciplinary committee shall establish and apply a consistent policy of penalties throughout the University.
ASC Delays Action on Debt Request
"Cases for which precedent action by the committee has been established may be referred to the academic dean for action unless the accused student appeals for a hearing before the committee.
"Any action of the committee shall be subject to review and action by the chancellor."
The All Student Council last night sidestepped action on a request by the Class of '53 that sufficient ASC funds be appropriated to cover a $400-plus debt it had incurred from its financially unsuccessful all-school dance.

The maximum penalties for academic dishonesty were not changed by Tuesday's action. They remain failure in the course, and suspension for a semester or a year, or dismissal, depending on the frequency of violations.
Ike Speech Set On Peace Moves
Augusta, Ga. —(U.P.) The White House announced today that President Eisenhower's speech in Washington tomorrow will be a major discussion of current efforts to end the Korean war and "the chance for peace for all peoples of the world in 1953."
The speech is being "kept open" for last-minute revisions paced to changing world conditions. The President spent three hours going over a nearly final draft of the address.
Mr. Hagerty did not mention the current prisoner exchange in Korea specifically, but members of the presidential party said the speech would be Mr. Elsenhower's most important and extended discussion to date of the drive for peace in Korea and the rest of the world.
The President flies to the capital tomorrow, breaking into his week's vacation here, to address the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
2 Foreign Students To Speak at Meeting
Dr. Winnie D. Lowrance, assistant professor of Latin, is vice president of the association and Dr. L. R. Lind, associate professor of Latin and Greek, is secretary-treasurer. Association members are Latin and Greek teachers.
Tradill will discuss "Latin in Italian Schools of Today," and Moutsanides will speak about "Life in Modern Greece."
Al Traldi, graduate student from Rome, Italy, and Demetrius Moutsanides, college senior from Athens, Greece, will speak Saturday at the 46th meeting of the Classical Association of Kansas and Western Missouri at Rockhurst college, Kansas City.
The President will speak before the ASNE at noon tomorrow.
After lunch the President will drive by Griffith stadium to throw out the first ball of the Washington season at a game between the Senators and the New York Yankees. He will watch two or three innings of the game, then motor back to the airport for a flight to North Carolina.
In other business, the Council appropriated $208 to send two members of the debate squad to the national tournament at West Point, New York.
Because the ASC cannot legally appropriate more than $50 for a cause if it hasn't been heard before the ASC Finance committee, action was postponed until the next meeting to allow the required hearing.
A bill designed to clarify the jurisdiction of the disciplinary committee and make possible its achieving a position of greater cooperation with the University Senate was passed.
Principal arguments against the measure were that it affected too few persons and that it would be of questionable legality, since official printed ballots would be unavailable.
An appropriation of $40 also was made to the Radio Players for the purpose of paying for a die which will be cast and used in producing membership pins for members.

Frosh Athlete Dies in Sleep
JOHN SPENCER
Student Center Site Purchased
John L. Spencer, 19-year-old freshman football player from Amarillo, Texas, died this morning in his room at 825 Indiana st.
A building site for the proposed $200,000 Presbyterian Student center has been purchased, Reinhold Schmidt, professor of voice and chairman of the Westminster Board of Trustees, said today.
Construction on the project probably will not be started until 1954. Prof. Schmidt said.
The 150-foot lot, purchased from Sigma Kappa sorority is located on 12th street between Oread avenue and Louisiana street.
The center will front on Oread, and the minister's home, which joins the center, will front on Louisiana. The present Westminster house at 1221 Oread avenue will be sold.
The campaign for funds began a month ago when the Westminster fellowship council voted to obtain the first $1,000 from student pledges. Lawrence townpeople also have contributed money.
Washington—(U.P.)-Charles Chapin, a silent movie pantomime artist, has voluntarily given up his status as an actor. This means the actor does not intend to return to the United States, the justice department announced today. The Justice department said Chapin made no comment when he surrendered his re-entry permit.
Chaplin Gives Up Alien Status
Dr. John Patton, Presbyterian student minister, and Mrs. Patton are in charge of the fund campaign over the state.
Dr. Zimmer said the examination showed Spencer's heart was "normal" and that there was no evidence of football or other injuries.
An autopsy today failed to reveal the cause of death. Dr. Louis K. Zimmer, county coroner, said microscopic tests will be made at the University Medical center in Kansas City later this week.
Spencer's roommate, Dale Birney, also a freshman football player, heard Spencer breathing unusually heavy at about 5 a.m. He awakened their landlady, Mrs. I. C. Stevenson, and called a doctor, who arrived shortly before 6 a.m. Spencer was dead when the doctor arrived.
Coach J. V. Sikes said Spencer was one of the better line prospects on last fall's freshman team. The 210-pound tackle started in both of the freshman games last fall.
"The Grapes of Wrath," first of a series of films sponsored by the new major in American civilization, will be shown at 4 p.m. today in Fraser theater and at 7:30 p.m. in Lindley auditorium.
the young football prospect had been out to spring practice Monday and Tuesday, and gave no indication of being ill. He was used in scrimmage five minutes Tuesday.
Spencer is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Spencer, Amarillo; a brother, William Spencer, a freshman at the University living in Sunflower village; a sister, Mrs. Arnold Burtell, Bremington, Wash., and his grandparents, Mrs. Emma Spencer, Amarillo, and Mr., and Mrs. W. T. Wilson, Ft. Sumner, N.M.
