Spring StepsUpConstruction
Spring construction work on the campus is in full swing this week as building crews take advantage of the first prolonged good weather in several weeks.
Brick laying has been started on the new seventory Green hall addition. The $134,000 addition, which joins Green at the first, fifth and seventh floor levels, will be used as a law library annex.
Work on the new science building is ahead of schedule, as stone laying work is nearing completion.
A new stairway and retaining wall west of Snow hall are almost completed. The concrete stairway connects the Jayhawk drive with Memorial drive. An extension of the parking area behind Snow hall also is being built.
Workmen have resumed the re-roofing of Fraser hall, which began last fall, but was halted by bad weather.
Two sidewalks connecting the south entrance of the Union with Mississippi street and with Jayhawk drive are being built. The Mississippi street walk is being built in connection with a new service entrance at the rear of the Museum of Natural History.
Another new sidewalk is being built west of Green hall to connect the Mississippi street walk with the Jayhawk drive walk.
Taft Says Eisenhower Firm on Bohlen Issue
Washington—(U.P.)—Senate Republican Leader Robert A. Taft said today President Eisenhower is standing firm on his nomination of Charles E. Bohlen as ambassador to Russia which was sent before the Senate today.
Sen. Taft predicted, after a meeting with President Eisenhower, that Mr. Bohlen will be confirmed by a decisive vote.
Taft and Chairman Alexander Wiley of the Senate foreign relations committee talked for 30 minutes with President Eisenhower on the Bohlen matter after his regular Monday morning meeting with legislative leaders.
Sen. Taft said debate on the nomi-
mary might prince the vote until
laboratory data were fed Wednesday.
"We discussed all phases of the Bohlen nomination," Sen. Taft said. "We are going right ahead."
The Senate foreign relations committee sent the nomination to the floor with a 15 to 0 vote of approval. The Senate rarely, if ever, has overriden such an overwhelming committee recommendation.
Although the ultimate outcome was in little doubt, the floor fight attracted wide attention as the first direct test of strength between Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who has gone down the line for the United States to win the War in Carthy (R-Wis), who is leading the opposition, with Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH.) and Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.).
Sen. McCarthy conceded defeat in advance. He said the nomination will be approved "because all the 'Truman Democrats' and many Republicans who are not ready to break with the administration" are supporting Bohlen.

Norris Resigns Jayhawker Post
The Jayhawker Advisory Board has accepted the resignation of Frank Norris as business manager of the Jayhawker Magazine and has appointed Jack Rein to serve the rest of the school year as acting business manager, it was announced today.
Norris, a business senior from Kansas City. Mo. resigned in order to complete his school work and accept a Navy commission in June. He is withdrawing from all activities, he told the board, in order to complete his academic schedule. He is carrying in two semesters the amount of academic work ordinarily carried in two semesters and a summer session.
Rein, a business junior, from Shawnee, has been advertising manager of the Jayhawkter this year. The board said in its announcement: "The Jayhawkter Advisory Board regrets having to make a change in the staff at this time. It feels that Jack Rein's experience as advertisement manager will enable him to handle the business management of the 1952-53 Jayhawkter as it was planned."
Norris' term would have expired in June.

An authority on termites, Dr. Alfred Emerson of the University of Chicago, will lecture on "The Evolution of Animal and Human Social Behavior" at 4 today in 101 Snow.
Entomology Talk To Be at 4 Today
Dr. Emerson also will lecture tomorrow on "The Social Supraorganism" at 4 p.m. in 417 Snow.
The new president is Antonin Zapotocky. His new premier is Slovak-born Viliam Siroky, meticulously faithful communist.
Dr. Emerson received his bachelor of science degree from Cornell university in 1918, and was given his doctor's degree from the same university in 1925. He began teaching in 1921 when he became an instructor at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1929, he became an associate professor at the University of Chicago, and he has been a professor of ontology there since 1934.
Dr. Charles D. Michener, professor of entomology, said today that students enrolled in biology and sociology will be especially interested in Dr. Emerson's address tomorrow At that time, Dr. Emerson will present some theories on individuals of a society having the same relationship to one another as the cells of an animal body.
NROTC Selects 32 for Training
Selections of 32 students to receive Navy ROTC scholarships from Kansas were completed last week, and will be announced by the Navy department in Washington about April 15, pending final reports on physical examinations.
This year's selection committee consisted of Capt. William R. Terrell, professor of naval science; Dolph Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Journal World, and Dr. Donald G. Wilson, head of the electrical engineering department.
Students receiving these scholarships have their tuition, books, and fees paid for by the Navy, and receive $50 a month allowance. After the successful completion of four years in this program, including three summer cruises, these men are commissioned as ensigns in the regular Navy.
Four Students Fined On Traffic Charges
The preliminary written test for the scholarships was given to 500 high school and college students last December. Of the 169 students who passed this test, 101 were chosen for the examination, passing the physical examination. From this list, 32 principals and 10 alternates will be chosen.
James Barron, college sophomore, was convicted on three counts, speeding, passing a stop sign, and reckless driving. He was fined $65. Barron was arrested by campus police when he was speeding north on the boulevard. He attempted to make 21h and Jayhawk boulevard and hit a University truck parked on the side of the street.
Four students were fined last week in city court for traffic violations on the campus.
Wendell Sullivan, journalism junior, and Donald R. Johnson, college sophomore, were fined $15 each for speeding on the campus.
Paul Harnar, college freshman, forfeited a $25 bond when he failed to appear to answer charges for speeding.

Campus candids question: How are you going to vote on today's referendum questions concerning All Student Council reorganization, will you leave the Council as it is, or abolish it?
Dorothy Jean Stoneman, fine arts senior: "I'll vote for the reorganization plan. I think that if student government is given to the Chancellor it will be turned over to a single political group within two years, because he doesn't want the job."
Mary Ann Irwin, fine arts junior; "I'm going to vote for the reorganization plan, because I think that as it now stands nothing is being done. But I don't want to see student government done away with Chancellor Murphy is busy enough without having to run the ASC."
Marianne Matthews, college freshman: "I think the reorganization plan would be fine, because it seems the students aren't satisfied with student government as it is. If Chancee or Murphy himself heads the NCAC, they would be what the students want—a democratic government."
Penny Hoover, fine arts junior:
"I'm going to vote for the changes set forth in the reorganization plan, because I don't like the way it is now, and I don't think the Chancellor should have anything to do with it."
Lee Breckentidge, engineering freshman: I'm for the bi-cameral reorganization system. It seems to me that what's good enough for the United States is good enough for the University of Kansas."
Ann Ivester, college senior: "I'm in favor of giving all powers possible to the students in running their university. I would certainly vote for the bi-cameral reorganization plan."
Dick Verbrugge, engineering senior:
"Definitely, I'd vote for the new proposed changes, because it would cut down the party differences in getting things done in the Council. It means more representation, more persons on committees, and more opportunity for government by interested people."
Franklin Shobe, college sophomore: "I definitely won't vote for abolishment of the ASC. I feel that government by students is a form of education for the part they will take in governing themselves in later life. I think it will probably be too much time and trouble for the Chancellor. I'll vote for the reorganization."
Rome — (U,P)— Hundreds of disabled war veterans demanding immediate increases in their pensions, stopped traffic in central Rome today by staging a "lie down" strike in the street in front of the Senate.
