Sophomore Reigns at ROTC Ball
Donna Jean Johnson, fine arts sophomore, was crowned queen by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at the 30th annual Military ball Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
About 1,300 cadets of the three ROTC units, and their dates watched the chancellor place a silver crown on the winning candidate.
The crown, inscribed with Miss Johnson's name, will become a part of the tradition of the military ball. She was the candidate of Delta Delta Delta sorority.
Miss Johnson was one of three finalists chosen from a field of twelve candidates. Her attendants were Janet Gabrielson, college sophomore, and Maureen Kelley, fine arts junior.
All three finalists received lockets. The queen's crown, made by John Barley, fine arts junior, was decorated with pearls and rhinestones. The crown and lockets were displayed before the ceremony at the foot of the bandstand.
Student commanders of the three ROTC units were escorts. They were Wilson Liggett, Army; Edward House, Navy, and Darrell Kellogg, Air Force.
Henry Busse and his band played dance music from 8 to midnight.
Murphy Explains Need for Aid
Gifts which the University receives from private sources are "the icing on the cake" of the bulk of finances furnished by the legislatures and fees, Cancellor Franklin D. Murphy said in a broadcast interview Sunday over university station KANU.
Private contributions "make the difference between a great university on one hand and an extraordinary university on the other," the chancellor said.
Chancellor Murphy pointed out that "well over 50 per cent" of funds to finance the total research effort on the campus and at the Medical center come from outside sources.
"Probably 25 per cent of the total value of the buildings on the campus represent gifts to the people of Kansas," Chancellor Murphy said, citing the Memorial stadium, Student Union, Watkins Memorial hospital, Spooner-Thayer art museum, the president's home, the new Journalism building, FM radio station KANU, and "a large number of dormitories."
Dollar-wise, the largest amount of private contributions are in buildings, he added, but of the total number more go into loan and scholarship funds.
"We are not entitled to make tax money available for scholarships" Chancellor Murphy explained. The annual income from privately donated funds totaling $200,000 is used for this purpose, he said.

Plans for KU Started 96 Years Ago Today
W. F. M. Arny may have visualized an institution such as the University when he wrote a letter suggesting the establishment of such a school 96 years ago.
Mr. Arny, a member of the State Board of Education for the state of Illinois in 1856, wrote a letter dated Dec. 8 of that year to Gov. John W. Geary of the Kansas Territory giving him his views on education in Kansas, where he was soon going to move.
He suggested the establishment of a normal school to train teachers, an agricultural and horticultural school, a mechanical school, and others for law, medicine, etc. He also suggested apply to Congress for 250,000 acres

Ike Conferring With Aides On Korean War Solution
French Troops Kill 20 In Morocco Insurrection
Varsity Athlete Taken To State TB Sanatorium
Casablanca, French Morocco—(U.P.)—French colonial troops killed 20 Arab nationalists and wounded more than 50 today in breaking up a howling mob of 5,000 white-robed Arab nationalists who had beheaded two Frenchmen.
LaVannes Squires, business junior and member of the varsity basketball squad, has withdrawn from school and was taken to the state tuberculosis hospital at Norton Saturday for further examination of a chest inflammation which will prevent the Wichita player from rejoining the KU team this season.
Aboard Cruiser Helena with Eisenhower—(U.R.)—President-elect Eisenhower conferred in mid-Pacific today with five designated members of his cabinet on ways and means to crack the Korean stalemate without involving the United States in a costly expanded war.
The death toll of 20 they inflicted on the mobsmen was said to be a
The small detachment of police inside the station held off the attackers and called for reinforcements.
As wave upon wave of Arabs, total of 5,000 surged into the attack, tough Goum Berber tribal troops came to the rescue.
The Goums, drawn from the mountain Berber tribes and by centuries-old tradition bitter enemies of the town-living Arabs, charged into the mob on horseback and afoot, with carbines, pistols and swords.
The exact diagnosis of the disease would not be made for about two weeks yet, Dr. R.I. Canuteson, University Health service director, said this morning.
"In the course of routine examinations for varsity athletic competition about four weeks ago, X-rays showed signs of a chest inflammation." Dr. Cautescon explained. "We have kept him in the University hospital for examination and tests until Saturday when doctors from the state hospital suggested his transfer there."
Disorder broke out last night when two native policemen and one nationalist were killed and two policemen kidnapped.
This morning a mob of 600 Arabs stormed a police station in a suburban area. Two unidentified Frenchmen were trapped in the midst of the attackers and bheaded.
minimum.
Troops took over from police at key points throughout the city.
Under a pre-arranged emergency plan, martial law was declared at once in Casablanca.
Inter-Faith Group Hears Dean Barr
Squires, who made about half of the trips with last season's NCAA championship basketball team and played in 14 games, was a candidate for a starting position with this year's Javhawk team.
His loss was the second blow to Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's defending conference and national champions. Footballer Charlie Hoag was sidelined, probably for the season, as the result of a football injury in the Missouri game and a subsequent knee operation last week.
"KU's School of Religion is a binding force in which men who do not agree on basic points nevertheless work together in a common cause." Dean Harold G. Barr of the School of Religion said yesterday in an inter-faith meeting of the Disciple Student fellowship and Hiliel foundation.
"Although men are separated into races and nations there is a universalism—a binding force for all men—in religion," Rabbi Louis Cashdan, associate rabbi of Congregation B'nai Jehudah, Kansas City, Mo. said in the same discussion.
"Transcending language difficulties may be overcome by acts of goodness which speak for themselves." Dr. Amiya Chakravarty, visiting professor of humanities, said in the closing address.
Chicago Designer Visits Workshop
Ben Rose, of Chicago, nationally known designer of wallpaper and textiles, will be on the campus Monday and Tuesday as a consultant in a two-day workshop sponsored by the department of design.
He will talk on correlating wall-papers and textiles, decorating trends in interior design, and preparing for a career in desig.
Mr. Rose is recognized as a leader in the field of interior design, Dessa Jane Bush, assistant professor of design, said.
Gen. Eisenhower met with John Foster Dulles, the next secretary of state; George Humphrey, who will be treasury secretary; Interior Secretary-designate Douglas McKay; Attorney General-to-be Herbert Brownell, and Defense Secretary designate Charles E. Wilson.
Dulles. Brownell, Humphrey and McKay boarded the cruiser early today off Wake Island. They and other aides were flown to the cruiser in helicopters.
After a general discussion at lunch the conferences moved into the salon for an afternoon of talks. On the table was a long list of requests and recommendations from South Korean President Syngman Rhee asking both increased economic assistance and a wider scale war against the Chinese communists.
Before leaving for Korea, Gen Eisenhower expressed fears there is a "grave risk of expanding the war." He gave no indication that the recommendations from Rhee and the South Korean government, now under study, changed the President-elect's mind.
The fact that Mr. Eisenhower was not inclined to say anything publicly at this time about Korea and the forthcoming paper work indicated preparation of early presidential messages and speeches on foreign policy.
The presence of Hughes and Jackson—who wrote some of the General's campaign speeches—also indicated a possible foreign policy speech.
Eisenhower and his party are scheduled to arrive in Honolulu Thursday morning. He will stay at Pearl Harbor until Saturday, which makes his return to the U. S. unlikely before Sunday.
Hagerty was asked if a definite military plan had come out of the shipboard conferences.
"I can't say anything definite has come out of it," he said.
