Carnival Ready With Circus Air
Students worked late last night to give the Military Science drill hall a circus air in preparation for the Student Union Activities Carnival which will open there at 8 p.m. today.
Friday, Nov. 21, 1952
A steady stream of dungaree-claad workers poured in and out for hours. They carried everything from timber to pictures of dancing girls.
The drill hall resembled a dis-organized mass of confusion. While one group would try to paint a backdrop, another would try to move massive wooden frames over it. Anything left on the ground was picked up and used as a brace for a booth.
At 7 p.m. the floor was clean. By 9 p.m. wooden frameworks sprouted
up here and there. An hour or two later various boots began to take shape. Finishing touches were put on the boots today.
The bandstand, finished last night,
will hold Harlan Livinggood and his orchestra. They will furnish dance music from 9 p.m. to midnight.
At 11 p.m. the Little Man on Campus and his queen will be presented. During this intermission the trophies to the winning booths will be awarded.
Ike Gets Lodge Report Probably About Korea
New York—(U.F.)—President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower received a report today from his chief Washington liaison man, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R.-Mass.) and presumably got the latest word on the Korean situation.
Sen. Lodge, who has been at work in Washington on the initial stages of dove-tailing the new administration with problems of the old, was asked before he entered a conference with Gen. Eisenhower whether he was satisfied with his liaison work.
"No man is ever satisfied," he replied. "I do the best I can. There
Sen. Lodge said he did not expect to go to Korea with Gen. Eisenhower.
is still a lot more to do."
The President-elect conferred earlier with Claude O. Vardaman, chairman of the Alabama Republican state committee, and with George Meany, secretary-treasurer of the AFL.
FACTS Resolution Decries 'Pressure' on Daily Kansan
FACTS party last night passed a resolution disapproving what president Chet Lewis, third year law, termed "the recent external pressure" placed on the Daily Kansan.
into a reorganization of its machinery for determining editorial policy, because FACTS always opposes afronts to freedom of the press, regardless of the source of such censorship."
KU Fans Shake Hotel at Rally
Members also discussed the party's proposed ward system. This plan would divide the city into districts, making possible a more organized contact between FACTS and students in private homes.
The resolution. introduced by vice president Will Adams, graduate student, and amended by others before adoption, reads:
Kansas City fairly shook under the impact of enthusiastic fans from the banks of the Muddy Mo and from the Kaw valley last night.
FACTS resents the fact that the Kanan-board was obviously forced
About 500 to 600 Kansas supporters met at the Town House hotel in Kansas City, Kan., to hear speakers laud the abilities of the Jayhawk team and predict ringing Kansas victory.
A few miles away, in the Hotel President, about 250 members of the Missouri University Alumni association of greater Kansas City made just as much noise about the prospects of Missouri beating Kansas.
Among people from the University attending the meeting were Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, Athletic Director A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, Alumni Secretary Fred Ellsworth Assistant Attorney Dick Attertman, Athletic Business Manager Earl Falkenstein, and Head Football Coach J. V. Sikes.
Thirty-five members of the University band under the direction of Raymond Zepp, band instructor, also attended the rally.
The KU fans heard predictions of "a slaughter on the Missouri gridiron tomorrow when the Big Red team is turned loose on the field."
Missouri rooters heard Virgil Stalcup, basketball coach, say "Gov. Forrest Smith has lifted the ban on hunting and that means it is open season on all fowl, and that includes Javahaws."
Recalling, only briefly, the 47 to 7 defeat suffered by the Tigers at the hands of Oklahoma last week, the speakers said "sports writers rate the Kansas Jayhawks all-American. What they mean is that they are from all over America."
Housing Council Makes No Progress
Little was accomplished at the All Student Council housing committee meeting last night because only three of the five members were present.
The members read the FACTS report and Dean Glasco, engineering junior, chairman of the committee, said the report was "good".
Ike Appoints Industrialists To Cabinet
New York —(UP)— President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower today appointed two more members of his cabinet. They are George M. Humphrey of Cleveland, as secretary of treasury and Herbert Brownell Jr., of New York City, as attorney general.
Gen. Eisenhower also announced that he would name Harold E. Stassen, long-time contender for the Republican presidential nomination, as director of the Mutual Security succeeding W. Averell Hartman.
Mr. Humphrey is an Ohio industrialist. Brownell was 1934 chairman of the Republican campaign of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, and in the current campaign one of Gen. Eisenhower's top strategists.
Mr. Humphrey—the big surprise appointment—is president of the Mark A. Hanna Co., steel manufacturers, of Cleveland, and holds positions on many industrial firms. He was born in Cheyboygan, Mich., and practiced law in Saginaw, Mich., before becoming attorney for the Hanna Co.
Mr. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota, has been a perennial contender for the GOP nomination and during the recent campaign was a frequent advisor to the Eisenhower staff.
Mr. Humphrey was an unheralded choice for the treasury job. There had been speculation that this job might go to Sinclair Weeks, chairman of the Republican National Finance committee, or Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the board of the Chase National bank of New York and New York state GOP finance chairman.
Mr. Stassen, is by GOP standards, a liberal and was at one time considered for secretary of labor. Gen. Eisenhower, however, preferred to give him the large task of running the government's massive foreign aid
Mr. Brownell was a logical choice for the attorney generalship, considering his long legal and political background. During the 1952 campaign Mr. Brownell remained relatively "behind the scenes", but was still one of the most potent factors in the Eisenhower political strategy.
program.
Following an obvious "hurry up" scheduled prior to his departure for Korea, Gen. Eisenhower left unappointed the cabinet posts involving agriculture, labor, commerce, and postmaster general.
Asked whether these remaining four positions in the cabinet would be filled before the former five star general leaves for Korea, Mr. Hagerty said, "We are moving along—I don't know."
Mr. Brownnell, minutes after the announcement of his nomination as attorney general, he said he would ask J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to continue in his job.

Washington — (U.P.)— AFL President William Green died today at his home at Cocostoch, Ohio., AFL headquarters announced.
The announcement said Mr. Green died at 12:22 p.m.CST, of heart failure.
Mr. Green, had been president of the AFL, since 1924.
He was the second top labor leader to die of a heart ailment within two weeks.
CIO President Philip Murray died at San Francisco Nov. 9.

Cooke Cites Possible U.S. War with Russia
The crucial fact of the world today is that among experts the odds are 10 to 1 that the U.S. faces an eventual war with Russia, Dwight Cooke, public affairs analyst for the Columbia Broadcasting system, said Thursday.
Mr. Cooke's lecture, "You and the World, 1953," sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism, was presented in Strong auditorium.
"Russia's intentions are not honorable," Mr. Cooke said. "She can not see a world in which we coexist." Our main national effort in the coming years must be directed to avert such a conflict, he said.
Commenting on the election, Mr. Cooke said, "It was not a Republican victory. It was an Eisenhower victory."
"The slogans—mess in Washington, time for a change, and all those things—were incidental to one thing: Korea," he said.
"Now Eisenhower is going to Korea in good faith to do what he can—and he can do nothing," Mr. Cooke said.
"In Eisenhower we have the last symbol of unity for the American people that we can see around us today," Mr. Cooke commented. "I am concerned about what will happen when Ike returns and there is no truce."
KU Chest Drive Failing In 100 Per Cent Effort
Contributions for the Campus Chest drive were coming in, in much better style yesterday, but the chances of the drive reaching the 100 per cent mark by closing time tonight appears slim.
Dean Cole, college senior and publicity chairman, said this morning that contributions were 34 per cent complete last night. However, many of the solicitors are waiting until closing time this evening to report. Late reports, therefore, should boost the total considerably.
Three organized houses reported 100 per cent contributions by last night and several others were near to 100 per cent. The three are Templin hall, Pearson hall, and Delta Chi. Others are expected to be added to the list by tonight.
