ASC Passes Non-Partisan Class Officer Election Bill
Bv ROZANNE ATKINS
The non-partisan election of class officers bill passed by a 15-6 vote last night at the All Student Council meeting in Green hall.
The bill, the main item on the ASC agenda last night, was proposed by Nancy Landon, NOW; Margie Campbell, FOR; Marc Hurt and Will Adams, FACTS. Pachaamac was opposed to the bill. FACTS favored the bill. The bill passed when the NOW, FOR, and a Pach member voted in favor of the non-partisan election bill.
The bill provides that candidates for class office shall file directly with the ASC election committee by submitting a petition signed by 25 members of class concerned. Candidates names shall be placed on general election ballot, except when more than three have filed for same office.
In such cases candidates will be voted on in non-partisan primary election held simultaneously with party primaries. Names of top three candidates will be placed on the general ballot.
After the passage of the bill, reports from the standing committees began.
Joe Woods, chairman of the auditing committee, reported to Council that Jayhawker books are being put in order by a certified public accountant who has been hired for $45.
Bill Wilson, ASC president, made several appointments. Lyle Anderson and Phil Owen, business seniors, and Donald Humphrey, business junior, were appointed to the Little Hoover Commission with a two-thirds approval of Council.
The committee found two things that still need to be corrected. First, the circulation manager of the Jayhawker is receiving a salary of $100 a year in the form of an expense account, the committee reported.
Second, the system of recording Jayhawkers sold is so confusing no one can actually tell how many are sold. Anderson recommended to the board a numerical instead of nominal file system be installed.
Wilson appointed six persons to study complete organization of the Andyhawker and to make suggestions. They were Dean Glasco, engineering junior; Ron Kull, journalism

senior; Kay Conrad, college senior;
Dorian Horton, college senior; Bill Nulton, college senior; and Nancy Canary, education junior.
FACTS to Argue Jayhawker Pay
A proposal to do away with the salary of Jayhawker staff and substitute bonuses in proportion to number of annual sales will be discussed at a FACTS political meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in 110 Fraser.
Reports will be heard on the Big Seven student government conference at Missouri university last weekend and on the ward system with special regard to the student in a private home.
A proposed national convention of progressive political parties similar to FACTS will be discussed. Political leaders on the campuses of Iowa State college, Nebraska and Southern Methodist universities, and William Jewell college are reported to be interested in the FACTS party setup at KU. Iowa State has run FACTS candidates in political campaigns there.

Finals Slate Shows 2 Free Half-Days
Two half-days of grace have been returned to the final examination schedule for the fall semester, Registrar James K. Hitt said today.
The final exam period for this semester will run from Thursday, Jan. 22, through Thursday, Jan. 29. There will be no exams given the first morning, or Saturday afternoon.
As a new innovation this year, 20 minutes will be allowed between the two morning or afternoon exams instead of 10. Exams will run from 8 until 9:50 a.m., 10:10 a.m. until 12 noon, 1:30 until 3:20 p.m., and 3:40 until 5:30 p.m.
Mr. Hitt stressed that students and faculty should follow the schedule strictly if possible. If a student should have an exam schedule that would give him four finals on one day, he is asked to submit a written request to Mr. Hitt as chairman of the Calendar committee, by Jan. 8 requesting a change in schedule.
Three exams in one day is not considered too much of a load, Mr. Hitt said.
If a faculty member feels that the scheduled time for examination would be harmful to the student and the instructor, he, too, may make an application to the committee for consideration, he said.

Ike Spokesman Quiet On MacArthur's Plan
New York—(U.P.)—President-elect Eisenhower returned to his 42nd street headquarters today, leaving unanswered all questions concerning a meeting with Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
FM Tower to Help Match TV Gift
Gen. MacArthur has announced that he has a new plan for a "clear and definite solution" to the Korean war.
Mr. Eisenhower's headquarters spokesman would not talk about a meeting of the two. Gen. MacArthur could not be reached. Neither could his personal adviser, Courtney Whitney.
There had been rumors that the two five-star generals might meet at a breakfast conference at Mr. Eisenhower's Morningside residence. But there were no early morning visitors known to have visited the President-elect.
Mr. Eisenhower left early for his Commodore hotel headquarters where he met two New Jersey Rea TV outlet would necessarily include the cost of the tower.
The University's $65,000 FM radio tower may count toward a $200,000 matching fund for a $100,000 gift by the Fund for Adult Education, a Ford Foundation subsidiary, for construction of a television station here.
University officials indicated today that it is a possibility that the cost of the tower may be included in the $200,000 figure, but said the University is not planning to push such action at the present time.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, explained that the total cost of building
The Fund For Adult Education offered gifts of $100,000 each to KU and Kansas State college for construction of TV stations, providing each school could put up $200,000 by Jan. 31, 1953.
It is planned that programs from either school could be relayed to the other, probably by means of a microwave relay station, R. Edwin Browne, director of radio and television here, said. A coordinating committee is already set up and has been functioning for several months, Mr. Browne said.
publican women's leaders as the day's first callers.
Mr. Eisenhower's announced schedule of appointments at his Commode hotel headquarters ended with luncheon. The whole afternoon, according to the schedule, was to be "devoted to staff conferences."
As Mr. Eisenhower's headquarters became more reticent about discussing the meeting, it was recalled that Gen. MacArthur in his speech said a "present solution" requires basic decisions which are "improper for public disclosure or discussion."
