Pach Mulls Over Kansan's Freedom
Pachacamac yesterday heartily endorsed freedom of the press on the Daily Kansan "as long as the paper stays within its constitution."
Ron Kull, journalism senior, tota party leaders at a meeting in the Delta Chi house that the repeated use of the word censorship is confusing the issue.
He said many students have gotten a false idea that great pressure is being put upon the paper because the Daily Kansan established an editorial board at the time the paper used criticism from the All Student Council and other groups because of its support of Adial Stevenson.
A letter by Bob Stewart, journalism senior and an assistant managing editor of the Daily Kansan, to the student government conference at Missouri university this Friday and Saturday expressing his personal views about the paper, was read at the meeting.
The truth of the matter is the Daily Kansan set up the editorial board because it felt the need for one, he said.
Bill Wilson, ASC president pointed out that establishing the editorial board was purely arbitrary on the part of the Kansan, the same as the proposed editorial board will be.
Wilson said that Pachacamac's stipulation that the Kansan be within its constitution to gain the party's full support was because the Kansan recently had violated its constitution.
The ASC president read a portion of the Daily Kansan constitution stating that the paper would "maintain a semi-conservative policy" and remain "neutral in politics on and off the campus."
In the letter, Stewart recognized that the interdependence and check and balance system between the University paper and the ASC was important and essential. However, Stewart wrote that workers on the Daily Kansan are better trained and more capable of handling its affairs than "ridling politicians."
"The Kansas certainly did not follow its constitution in supporting Gov. Stevenson the way it did," he said.

Wilson cited the paper's treatment of the housing situation as an example of the incapability of the Kansan workers. "Anything said in the Daily Kansan about the housing situation is based on a little fact and hearsay," he said. He advised Pach-

Farmer Killed Aiding Student
L. L. Kindred, 52, a Eudora farmer, was electrocuted this morning while helping Alvin E. Dufford, graduate student, take a ground water table test.
Dufford was taking the test on the farm of Mr. Kindred, about one mile east and three miles north of Eudora when the accident happened. The test was being made by Dufford for use in his master thesis.
The accident occurred as Mr. Kindred attempted to help Dufford remove a 24-foot drilling rod from the ground. The auger of the drill rod struck an underground 33,000-volt line.
Dufford was knocked to the ground by the line, but was not injured. Mr. Kindred received artificial respiration from the Lawrence fire department for 30 minutes before he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Kindred operated a highly successful 400-acre farm in the Kaw river valley. He was past president of the Kansas Farm bureau and post vice president of the Eudora township. He was a member of the Eudora Methodist church.
Mr. Kindred is survived by his wife Mattie and three children, Louis L., Mrs. Evabella Gerstenberger, both of Eudora, and Mrs. Alice Mary Riodan of Wichita.
CIO Calls Truce To Hear Adlai
Atlantic City, N.J. —(U.P.)—Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson asked the CIO
annual convention not to consider
the Republican election victory "a
disaster or even a misfortune for
labor."
The defeated presidential candidate joined CIO leaders in honoring the memory of the labor organization's revered leader, the late Philip Murray.
Gov. Stevenson's appearance, and the tributes to Mr. Murray, forced a truce in the fierce fight among CIO union chiefs over a new president.
But as the issue neared a showdown, Walter P. Reuther, chief of the CIO Auto Workers union, seemed to hold an insurmountable lead over Executive Vice President Allan S. Hawwood.
"Perhaps as the defeated candidate, whom you were good enough to support, I can be permitted to say that the election should not be considered a disaster or even a misfortunate for labor." Gov. Stevenson said.
"What would be a misfortune and perhaps even a disaster would be to think so, and lose sight of labor's larger responsibility to a nation which is also groping its way into a new era," the Illinois governor said.
He told the labor leaders, "Your largest task now . . . is the conduct your relations with an industry, always in a framework of the national interest. . ."
Gov. Stevenson said "There are inequities and injustices in our laws that still demand remedy," but added that "labor's long battle for status and recognition has been largely won."
The voters registration bill was tabled for the second time since the charter committee, which is now working out a compromise, had no report.
An amendment to provide non-partisan election of class officers was read for the first time. The amendment states that where there are more than three persons filed for the same office in the general election, candidates shall be voted upon in a non-partisan primary election held simultaneously with ASC primaries.
Dennis Henderson, college junior, suggested that a request be obtained from James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions, to distribute cards during the spring registration so that students may register their party preference for the student primary elections at that time.
The cards would request information as to name, address, phone, school, class, and the desire of student to be registered to vote in the primary election of Pachacamac-NOW, FOR, FACTS, or whether he wishes to be registered at all.
Henderson suggested that the ASC office be open two weeks before elections to allow students to change their registration if they wish.
The finance committee headed by Lyle Anderson, business senior, recommended that Mortar Board's request for an additional $50 be granted. Mortar Board originally asked for $125, but received $75.
It was recommended that the $50 be granted on condition that next year Mortar Board set up provisions for assessing its members for needed funds. The Council voted 13-6 not to grant the appropriation.
Bill Nulton, college senior, chairman of the opportunities committee, which has been working with foreign students, pointed out that the feeling among foreign students was that they were treated as guests but never as an actual working part of the University.
Foreign student Rama Krishnan of Ottapalam Madras, India, suggested that foreign students should have a voting representative on the ASC, should be utilized in teaching (non-credit), and should be asked to lead informal discussion groups in various houses on the Hill.
In light of the committee report, Adams moved that the American veterans committee be deleted from Council representation and that a foreign student representing the International club serve on the ASC as organizational representative. The motion carried unanimously.
Under other business, Nulton moved to request the Kansan Board to set forth, in an objective fashion, the functions and effects of the recently instituted editorial policy board. No vote was taken.
