Mrs. Hobby Faces One More Bridge
Washington—(U.P.)—Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby has one more bridge to cross before she can become the first woman cabinet member in a Republican administration.
The Senate yesterday completed Congressional action on a bill approving President Eisenhower's plan to raise the Federal Security agency, which she heads, to a cabinet department.
But Mrs. Hobby must be reappointed and re-confirmed by the Senate as the nation's first secretary of health, education and welfare. No opposition to her personal promotion is expected. Her own contribution is by e-mail through the Senate without a dissenting vote.
Mrs. Hobby would not comment on the Senate's action. But friends said it could be assumed she was delighted. She favored cabinet status for the FSA even before she became secretary as its administrator. She is already attending cabinet meetings on invitation of the President.
The Senate approved establishment of the 10th cabinet department by a voice vote. The House okayed it by a vote of 291 to 85.
A few Democratic Senators objected to the speed-up procedure for approving the reorganization, although not to the plan itself.
Usually reorganization plans go into effect 60 legislative days after the President submits them, unless vetoed by a majority of either house.
Sen. John L. McClellan (Ark), ranking Democrat on the government operations committee, said the short-cut was the "wrong approach." He said the only reason given for it was that they have some employees they want to get rid of.
Former KU Instructor Dies
H. E. Underhill, former assistant instructor of economics at KU, 1927-33, died yesterday in Wichita. His daughter, Julie, college sophomore, left yesterday for Wichita.
School TV Hopes Revived by House
The University's hopes for an educational television station were revived by the Kansas House of Representatives Monday night, but they didn't involve the use of state funds for the project.
The House voted to allow both KU and Kansas State college to accept gifts or donations to set up TV stations at both schools and sent the measure to the Senate, which earlier killed an appropriations bill that would have established and operated the stations.

GOT A NICKEL, BUDDY?—Members of FACTS executive council demonstrate the new official party greeting, which consists of politely raising the hat—and then extending it for any possible contributions to help FACTS raise the $50 fine rendered by the Student Court in the recent libel case. Left to right are Will Adams, graduate student; Dennis Henderson, college junior; Winkie Stewart and Robert Laughlin, college sophomores, and Janey Snyder, engineering freshman. Said FACTS president Henderson: "FACTS is now looking for supporters with more dollars than cents."

AAU Report Upholds Academic Freedom
The Association of American Universities report released today points out that the faculties of our universities must be guaranteed freedom of expression, and the reasons for the guarantee must be understood by the public.
Setting forth the nature and function of the university, the report
The report, which deals with the rights and responsibilities of universities and their faculties, was written by five university presidents including Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
says, "Even in the face of popular disapproval, timidity should not lead a scholar or a teacher to stand silent when he must speak in matters of truth and conscience, particularly in his own special field of study." At the same time it emphasizes the responsibility of university faculties in appointments and promotions.
"Appointment to a university position and retention after appointment require not only professional competence but involve the affirmative obligation of being diligent and
loyal in citizenship," the report states.
"Above all, a scholar must have integrity and independence. This renders impossible adherence to such a regime as that of Russia and its satellites. No person who accepts or advocates such principles and methods has any place in a university. Since present membership in the Communist party requires the acceptance of these principles and methods, such membership extinguishes the right to a university position," the report explained.
