Publick Occurrences BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTICK
CAMPUS
There's talk of drastic action to be taken against at least one campus pep club. University officials and students would like to win not only the NCAA trophy, but also the Big Seven cup for good sportsmanship at games. These boys obviously "don't have it" and are a hindrance to the cause.

Rumor has it that Pachacamac is getting cold feet about its defamation suit since the defendant, FACTS, has engaged the "Law school brain trust" in its behalf.
STATE
Cries of "socialized medicine" of a different sort could result from passage of a bill introduced in the legislature which, among other things, would provide state funds for training of doctors, nurses, and dentists.

Look for some delay in the legislature's approving general appropriations and other bills affecting KU. A flurry of extra debates and bill-passing brought about by the Wes Roberts scandal has slowed down the legislative wheels considerably.
NATION
Watch for a gradual rift between the GOP and its newly acquired South. The friendship was pretty tenuous at best, and liberal northern Republicans like New York's Ives, as well as the GOP farm program (unloved by many in the South) aren't making the relationship any friendlier.

Democrats in Congress are expected to push harder than ever for Alaskan statehood. Hawaii, expected to become our 49th state shortly, will bring into the Union two senators and two representatives—Republicans. Alaska's Democratic senators would offset Hawaii's Republicans.
WORLD
News of Premier Josef Stalin's death this week brings to mind conjectures as to who will succeed another aging leader—Syngman Rhee, 77-year-old semi-dictator of South Korea who lately has been lasping into senility. There are five possibilities. One of them Lee Bum Suk, is regarded as dangerous. As former home minister Mr. Suk was instrumental in gagging the Assembly during last year's "elections."
Look for Russia to back up her charges in the UN of American subversive activities behind the Iron Curtain with reports of sabotage and guerrilla activities in Eastern Europe. Stories are leaking out of persons carrying out an unorganized rebellion there individually and in small groups.
Military experts say the day will come soon when South Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese Nationalist troops are built up to the point where they can do all the Far East fighting, thus relieving United Nations troops for use elsewhere. President Eisenhower, however, says as long as there is fighting in the East, some UN forces will have to be present.
The political pot is boiling in our neighbor to the north, Canada, as campaigns for elections slated sometime this summer get underway. The Canadian Liberal party, built by the late W. L. Mackenzie King and inherited by Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent, has been in power since 1935. A repeat performance of the United States political upheaval?

A budget cut seems to be behind investigation of the Voice of America, although Fernand Auberjonois, Voice official declared that the U.S. propaganda program should be called the Voice of Moscow or Voice of International Communism.
THEATER
When William Inge, '35, wrote the play "Come Back, Little Sheba" while studying drama at KU, he probably didn't realize that it would become a Broadway hit. But it did and stamped him in 1950 as a playwright of unusual promise. This promise was more than fulfilled when "Picnic" alternately drowsed, cajoled, and stormed its way across the Music Box stage to ring down the curtain on what will probably prove the biggest dramatic hit of the Broadway season.
SPORTS
Anything can happen in a major league pennant race, but look for stronger pitching staffs to help the Dodgers and Yankees repeat. Brooklyn now has a top-notch front-line hurler in Russ Meyer, recently acquired from the Phillies, and New York has Whitey Ford coming back from the Army.
We heard of a couple of coeds who set up a "cuss-pot" for proceeds from uttering angry words—at a flat rate a word. Blue Monday is bargain day. They pay $1 for unlimited adjectives. The coeds will spend the money on new drapes for their room. Sort of a "drapes of wrath" idea?
The United States' state department has ordered copies of Howard Fast's books and books by other controversial authors or Russian-endorsed authors to be removed from U.S. libraries abroad. If we're going to stuff our ideas down people's throats—and removing the source of contrary ideas is doing just that—how can we honestly say that we believe in freedom of thought?
One Woman's OPINION
Bv MONA MILLIKIN
Two words, "faith and responsibility," explain the philosophy of John Foster Dulles, new Secretary of State. If the veteran diplomat maintains the position he spelled out in his 1950 book, "War or Peace," he will use these concepts in proving the sincere concern of the United States for the peoples of the world as individuals with rights. That concern is our weapon against Communism.
Secretary Dulles advocates a foreign policy program which returns to our founders' faith in God and human value; which places the responsibility for proving the value of that faith on each American.
In "War or Peace" Secretary Dulles has revealed his religious character in his statement that the basic reason for our present fear and defensive attitude is the lack of the "righteous and dynamic faith" which once characterized the United States.
To the Secretary of State, an international or global outlook is a natural and necessary corollary of American faith and responsibility. He has emphasized that this internationalist concern is for our national good as well as for the interests of world peace.
He has pointed out the scope of the danger our country faces in communism and says that our policy must be global because we cannot fight alone. To gain allies we must cooperate. Yet, his warning to European nations that they must share the responsibility proves that he won't have American interests thrown aside in impractical aid.
Optimism is another phase of his thinking. Secretary Dulles states in his book that war is not inevitable; but this doesn't mean he is blind to the strength of Communism.
Positive action is another Dulles trademark. In his speech before the National Council of Churches, he said America needs "vision to see the needs of the world, hearts that comprehend those needs, minds to function clearly, and find practical ways to solve problems and action to develop in ourselves a sense of creative power and purpose."
Mr. Dulles' standard of faith and responsibility has been borne out in his own life. The son of a Presbyterian minister, he has maintained his close ties with that church and served as chairman during World War II of the Committee for a Just and Durable Peace of the National Council of Churches.
Professionally, he is a lawyer but his boyhood hero was his grandfather, John W. Foster, who was secretary of state for President Harrison. Mr. Dulles had his first taste of international politics in 1919 as a member of the American delegation at Versailles, as legal adviser during Polish loan negotiations in 1927, and as American representative to the Berlin conference in 1933.
In 1944 he was Dewey's foreign affairs adviser during the presidential campaign. Since 1945 he has been active in foreign affairs as the Republican representative in the bipartisan foreign policy, in the formation of the United Nations, in the formation of the Japanese treaty and as adviser to the Republican party. Now he has his opportunity to test his theories.

Student Union Free Dance Lacked Dancers Wednesday
Studying has hit an all-time high at KU.
Or at least it seemed that way at the first free dance Wednesday night at the Union. We thought the officials there proved rather unstodgy by sort of dimming the lights in the upper half of the Hawk's Nest for the benefit of all.
And about four or five couples danced their heads off and had a hilarious time. Other than that, the function might have been termed a flop.
Where the other University socialites were we wouldn't know. We did, however, notice that the library wasn't overcrowded.
Now, we'll admit that beer is lacking at these functions and the jukebox music is of a canned variety. But where can a cheaper evening be found? Not at the town night spots—where a half bottle of coke costs 15 or 20 cents;
We—being of the hermit variety—may not be qualified to comment on these goings on in the great social whirl. But this seems like a pretty good deal. If proper interest could be fired up in these Wednesday night dances, some pretty good parties might develop. As it is—pooey.
