FRESHMAN DORMS ARE BEST OF INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY HOUSING—Freshman women at Corbin and North College halls are blessed with the best of University women's dormitory facilities at KU. Plans have been made for an additional annex to be built on to North College to house freshman women who now live in Hodder and Foster halls; but no plans have been made to improve upperclass housing, where freshmen will have to live next year.—Kansan photo by David S. Arthurs.
CROWDED QUARTERS ARE FAMILIAR SIGHT IN WOMEN'S DORMS—Four girls often sleep, study, dress, and live for an entire nine months in one very small room. One closet serves four people, and beds, desks, chests, and books, and people bump into each other continually. This is where sophomores are expected to live after a year at North College or Corbin halls.—Kansan photo by David S. Arthurs.
Freshman Coed Has Fears for Future
Editor of the Daily Konser
The housing for freshman women is adequate, but where will freshman girls who don't pledge sororities live next year?
snips our most girls can't get them. The girls who don't live in scholarship halls or sorority houses will have to live in upperclass women's dorms or private homes, neither of which are satisfactory. The dorms are overcrowded and in a deplorable physical condition. A private home does not offer the social life of an organized house. Is KU becoming a one year col-
Scholarship halls are fine for those who are able to get scholarships but most girls can't get them.

Undoubtedly in elementary sociology courses that students have taken, sub-standard housing has been described. These students probably thought that such conditions existed only in textbook studies or in a world far removed from the hallowed campus of KU.
The most galling thing about the whole situation is that upperclass women pay approximately as much for this type of housing as freshmen do who live at North College and Corbin.
In my opinion such conditions do exist here. For instance, four girls sleep and study in one room. Twenty-eight girls share two stools and two baths. Is this not substandard housing? How conducive is this all to good study habits and a healthy mental attitude?
Would any physician condone such conditions?

Despite the premature charges of "smear," Sen. McCarthy, in apparent good faith, has presented strong, itemized charges against Gov. Stevenson and claims to be able to present the evidence on which these charges are based. Although this one instance, if it proves to be justified, does not justify his previous record, it certainly calls for an answer, and Gov. Stevenson has the opportunity for that answer.
McCarthy Charges Need Adlai's Rebuttal Editor of the Daily Korea
To write these accusations off as "smear" without evidence or explanation is to be guilty of precisely the sins with which the Democratic standard bearer charges Sen. McCarthy. Dersion of the drama of the presentation is no more satisfactory.
Let us not forget it is the truth, or untruth of these charges, and whatever implications they may have, with which we must be concerned on November 4th, and not the distasteful record of the man who makes the charges.

Solution Asked For Coed Housing
The University of Kansas board of regents is meeting this weekend in Topeka, and one of the things to be discussed is the University's 10-year building plan. But according to information released to students, there has been no mention of plans which will even begin to remedy the independent upperclass women's housing problem.
Students, parents, and faculty members are aware of the problem which recently has been given public airing. Yet, no official statement has come forth concerning the problem.
Such abundant discussion and evident dissatisfaction can not be kept from the citizens of Kansas. They are rapidly becoming well informed on housing conditions at the University, and will very soon be demanding a satisfactory answer.
Already the students are demanding an answer. FACTS has delegated a committee to look into the situation and urge the board of regents to take necessary action to remedy it. Students have compiled statistics on the shameful conditions of the dormitories. Letters have been written to various influential bodies in the state. Post cards are being sent to members of the board of regents by women living in University upperclass dorms.
living in University upper The matter has become of state-wide importance, Kansas voters are University parents, and they dislike having their sons and daughters attending a school with below average dormitory facilities for upperclass women, far below the average of other schools in the state
state There is a problem. It isn't just an imaginary gripe dreamed up by students. Crowded conditions and inadequate housing do exist; present facilities are not adequate for the immediate need. Something will have to be done or the University will suffer in enrollment and prestige.
Something can be done this weekend at the meeting of the board of regents. Plans can be made for the building of adequate dormitories for upperclass women in the very near future. In the meantime, present housing can be improved as much as possible.
Students, faculty, parents, and citizens have recognized the present situation as a problem, and are demanding a satisfactory answer and plan.

Outcome in Delaware Hangs in Balance
(Editon's Note): This is the 14th in a series of articles pertaining to state elections and the possible effect they might have on the national picture this year.)
The senatorial contest in Delaware between John J. Williams, incumbent Republican senator, and Alexis Irenne du Pont Bayard, present Democratic lieutenant governor, will have an important bearing on the presidential election.
Both parties agree that the election will be close. At the present time, Lt. Gov. Bayard is given the edge, but Republicans believe the record of Sen. William will eventually gain him enough support among middle-of-road voters to win.
Sen. Williams, 47, is a man partly responsible for giving the GOP its "mess in Washington" slogan.
The Delaware senator discovered that his own 1945 tax bill of $20,000 was marked unpaid. He started an investigation and proved that an employee in the Wilmington office had put tax payments totaling $30,000 into his own pocket. The employee went to jail, but his boss got a raise.
Sen. Williams learned later that the bureau in Washington had known about the situation in Wilmington for several months but had done nothing about it. He also learned that the embezzler was on the payroll several months after the

office knew what he was doing.
The result was the biggest scandal of the Truman administration. Corruption and favoritism were uncovered not only in the Bureau of Internal Revenue but in the Justice department and the Reconstruction Finance corporation.
Even more important at the present time, particularly to the voters of Delaware, is the fact that he has been so busy protecting the taxpayers of the U.S. that he hasn't spent enough time doing things for the voters of Delaware.
Sen. Williams is considered a hard-shelled Republican conservative. His attendance record is one of the best in the Senate, but his voting record is far to the right of Sen. Taft's. He is particularly conservative concerning foreign affairs
a tough fight is ahead for Sen. Williams for his opponent, Lt. Gov. Bayard, is an equally popular and prominent figure in Delaware. Lt. Gov. Bayard comes from a distinguished family in the state. If he defeats Sen. Williams, he will became the seventh member of his family to serve in the Senate.
Lt. Gov. Bayard is a definite Fair Dealer. He favors flatly the repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and passage of the civil rights program. He also has denounced Delaware's segregation laws and practices, and can count on a big vote from labor and the Negroes.
As far as the presidential election is concerned in Delaware, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower is a bit ahead of Gov. Adlai Stevenson, but Lt. Gov. Bayard is pulling hard and very easily could pull Delaware to a Democratic victory.
