Girl Suffers Injuries In Fall at Kanza Hall
Pat Means, fine arts junior, suffered a nose injury, several broken teeth, and head injuries in a fall Friday night at Kanza hall, it was reported today.
A Fulbright fellowship agreement between the United States and Finland has been signed and a limited number of fellowships for specially qualified American graduate students to study in Finland in the academic year 1953-54 are available, Dr J. A. Burzle, KU Fulbright chairman, has announced.
Miss Means' injury was not discovered until Saturday morning. She was reported in good condition at Watkins hospital.
Fellowships Open For Grad Students
Applications for special studies, not intended to lead to Finnish degrees, will be most readily considered in the following field: philology, medicine, forestry, architecture, and Finnish civilization, he said.
Instruction in all Finnish academic institutions is in Finnish or, to a lesser degree, in Swedish. However, adequate supervision of special studies in the above-mentioned fields is available among English and German speaking professors, Dr. Burzle said.
The date of closing of the competition for the Finnish fellowships, as well as for those of the other countries, is Oct. 31.
Upstream Authors To Feature Politics
The political campaign will be featured in the first issue of Upstream, campus publication of humanities and politics, going on sale this week.
The issue will also include a short story, "Flowers to the Pilot," by Martin McCurdy, college sophomore, and a poem by Don Steinberg, college senior.
An article by John Parks, special student in the college, will concern the works of Lachaise, early 20th century sculptor.
Student articles on the political scene will present the case for Stevenson, and for Eisenhower. Nancy Landon, college junior, will have an article on foreign policy.
Current book reviews will feature Mickey Spillane mystery novels.
Washington — (U.P.)—Dwight D. Eisenhower and fellow Republicans today brushed aside President Truman's denial he called the GOP nominee anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic, as Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson launched his final campaign tour.
Ike Ignores Truman Denial Of Bias Charges
Gen. Eisenhower was expected to continue denying Mr. Truman's charges at every New England whistle stop. He appeared unimpressed by the President's explanation and referred Mr. Truman to the opinions of Francis Cardinal Spellman, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver and Bernard Baruch.
The Illinois governor started his last big drive after telling a crowd of 5,000 in Springfield, Ill., that Gen. Eisenhower is waging a campaign of expediency because the GOP has no policy, no program, and no real faith in the future of America.
Gov. Stevenson abandoned his propeller stop campaign and adopted the orthodox whistle stop technique in a bid for the 206 electoral votes of 12 eastern states.
Mr. Truman, in a speech prepared for delivery at Jersey City, NJ., criticized Republicans for "spreading the outrageous falsehood" that the administration has been "soft toward communism." Starting his third whistle stop trip of the campaign, the President also said Gen. Eisenhower "obviously does not know the hard facts of life" about civil rights and "doesn't know what it takes to get something done in this field."
Vice President Alben W. Barkley, rebuking rebellious southern Democrats, said Democrats who became rich since 1933 and now plan to vote Republican are "throwing the crutch at the doctor."
The weep, addressing a crowd of 3,000 in Orlando, Fla., said the Democrats had done more for the South during the past 20 years than any other administration in the nation's history.
is here.
Elsewhere on the political front:
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, GOP vice presidential nominee, sneered at Gov. Stevenson as "a weakling, a waster and a small caliber Truman." He told a party rally in East St. Louis, Ill., that the choice "is whether we want to select as President a man or a mouse."
Sen. Nixon said Americans need a leader able to recognize and insist upon honesty in government and high standards in public life.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey accused Mr. Truman of waging a "slimy" campaign against Gen. Eisenhower by throwing "rotten eggs, dead cats, and tomatoes." He told the New York Republican club that the President had "debased his office by trifling with the truth" and had sunk to the "lowest level in American history when he injected race and religion into this campaign."
Operators Urge UMW Strike's End
Bv UNITED PRESS
Soft coal mine operators urged their striking miners to come back to the pits today and end a mass protest walkout that mushroomed when the government chopped 40 cents off the workers' latest pay raise.
Meanwhile, John L. Lewis called the 200-man policy committee of his United Mine Workers union to a meeting tomorrow in Washington to discuss the "rank and file" strikes.
The UMW recently negotiated a $1.90 daily pay boost, but when a delayed Wage Stabilization Board ruling finally came through Saturday it chopped off 40 cents.
A check of the soft coal fields yesterday showed that at least 350,000 miners stayed home from their jobs, honoring their principle of "no contract, no work."
Miner reaction to the operators' request that they return to work was cool. And it was not likely that large numbers of the some 350,000 idle diggers would respond until they got some word from Lewis.
Meanwhile, violence flared briefly at Grundy, Va., where the UMW is picking mines which are operating with non-union employees.
And Lewis, for the time being was keeping mum. He had issued no strike call and neither had the local leaders. The strike was apparently a genuine rank-and-file protest.
The Southern Coal producers did not join in the plae, but they traditionally follow the lead of the northern operators in such matters.
Most of the miners seemed to be waiting for the word from "our president, John L. Lewis."
Sheriff Ishmael Fletcher said that six shots were fired from a wooded hill into a cabin housing seven nonunion miners. Occupants of the house returned the fire. Fletcher said the attackers were "presumably" striking UMW workers.
Harry M. Moses, president of the Bituminous Coal Operators association and chief industry negotiator, wrote Lewis yesterday that Northern operators are willing to start paying the miners the scaled-down $1.50 raise immediately.
United Nations, N.Y. - (U.F.) The United States said today the Communist germ warfare charges are a "campaign of hate and vilification" designed to discredit the United Nations.
"in order to inspire and foster hatred and in order to discredit the UN action in Korea," the U.S. said in an explanatory memorandum:
Germ Warfare Charges Assailed
"The Soviet bloc has launched a propaganda campaign world-wide in scope and has utilized fully all Communist-dominated propaganda organizations and all techniques including the government-controlled radio system and world-wide Communist press and packed meetings of Communist front organizations.
"In this propaganda campaign, the Soviet bloc has sought to establish their charges by fabricating 'scientific evidence,' by forming so-called 'investigation commissions' carefully selected to insure their partiality, and by inducing so-called 'confessions' of American prisoners of war—in sort by utilizing all familiar elements of Soviet propaganda in a highly intensified form.
"Responsible officials of the U.S. and also of the unified command have demonstrated the complete falsity of these charges. . .
"Despite the unqualified denial . . . and despite utilization of the Soviet Union of its veto to block an impartial investigation, the Soviet Union has reiterated the charges and has continued its campaign of hate and vilification based upon these charges . . ."
Application of Knowledge Necessary, Engineers Told
T. A. Boyd, a veteran member of General Motors Research laboratories, told engineering students today that their success in industry depends on how well they learn to apply knowledge.
Mr. Boyd, speaking before an engineering convocation in Fraser hall this morning, said, "In college your principle concern is the acquiring of knowledge, but you should try to learn how to apply that knowledge."
He said there is a difference between learning and applying knowledge. To be a creative engineer you must be able to acquire the knowledge and then use it in a constructive fashion, he told the engineering students.
Mr. Boyd pointed out that although exhaustion of petroleum and other oil sources is no immediate danger, these sources cannot last forever. Someday we will have to find another source of energy, and that will be one of the
Interest Mounting in Oct.28 Ballotina
With balloting day Oct. 28, only a week away, student interest in the campus-wide presidential preferential election is mounting rapidly.
The election, sponsored by the Daily Kansan, gives students and faculty members the chance to back their favorite presidential candidates with something besides talk.
The balloting is conducted each presidential election year by The Kansan to determine the campus stand on the election. Such a ballot indicates how college students feel, something that is impossible to determine in the general election a week later.
Balloting booths next Tuesday will be placed in at least four places on the campus. They will be in the rotunda and basement of
Strong hall and in Marvin and Fraser halls.
The booths will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students must present their ID cards and have them unached in order to vote.
Each voter will be given a single ballot. Names of the two major presidential candidates, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, and their running mates, Sen. Richard Nixon and Sen. John Sparkman, will be on the ballots.
faculty member, of voting age, and what school he is enrolled in. Failure to indicate the school of the voter will invalidate the ballot.
The voter will be asked to indicate on the ballot if he is a student or
The student may vote a straight ticket by marking an X in boxes opposite the names Democratic or Republican which appear over the names of the party representatives, or he may split his vote.
The counting of the ballots Tuesday night will be supervised by members of the political science department.
Daily Kansan staff members will work at the polling booths. The booths will be watched by members of the KU Young Democrats and Young Republicans. These two organizations have endorsed the ballot.
Zoologist to Show Slides
Dr. R. H. Baker, assistant professor of zoology, will show slides of his summer trip to Mexico at a meeting of the Zoology club at 7:30 p.m. today in 206 Snow hall.
major engineering problems of the future, he said.
The probability is that, in the end as in the beginning, it will be solved by energy radiated from the sun to the earth, Mr. Boyd stated.
"No one need say this can't be done," he added. "For it has been computed that in five weeks the earth receives in sunshine as much energy as is stored in all the coal, petroleum, natural gas, and tar sands," he said.
Mr. Boyd said that there is as much energy in a single day's sunshine as in all the petroleum consumed since Col. Drake drilled the first oil well.
Mr. Boyd urged students to "concentrate on laying a foundation in the fundamentals of science and engineering, a foundation solid enough and broad enough to build on it a successful career in almost any business."
Mr. Boyd illustrated his lecture with slides which showed various phrases of the General Motors corporation organization.
