250 Visit Displays At Activities Fair
More than 250 students saw everything from tom-toms to tape recorders at the Student Union Activities display last night.
The 25 displays show ality in vying for the students' attention. The French club presented a recording of French songs and students learned to speak elementary phrases in French on a tape recorder. Also at the exhibit were pictures of the orphanage in France that the club sponsors.
The Radio Players also used a tape recorder in their display. Scripts were available for students to record their voices reading parts from past productions of the organization. The tape was then played back giving them a chance to hear their voices.
The Quill club ran an inanimate charades contest. Pictures and objects depicting book titles were arranged on sheets of paper. Students had to guess the titles, write them on a sheet of paper, and turn them into the club. Prizes have been awarded to Larry Johnston, college junior; Katy Nelligan, education senior and Rollin Peschka.
college freshman, who guessed the titles of the books: "The Egg and I," "Return of the Native," "The Postman Always Rings Twice," and "East of Eden." The prize was a year's subscription to "Trend," official magazine of Quill club.
One of the oddest effects was a display by the Young Democrats. Beside their booth were two large pictures of Gov. Adlai Stevenson and Sen. John Sparkman, both sporting "I Like Ike" buttons on their laplets.
Several other campus political organizations had booths at the arrival. FACTS, displaying two years of work reported the loss of the FACTS scrapbook. The book, lying on a table in the booth, disappeared toward the end of the carnival.
Rugs, pictures, paintings, and handicraft from many countries were displayed by the International club. All the objects at the exhibit were donated by members.
The exhibit of the Mountaineering club drew the most comment. Their display consisted of the clothes and tackle used in mountain climbing. Students agreed that the gear should be mandatory for climbing the 14th street hill during the winter.
Tau Sigma, modern dance sorority, displayed dancing shoes and dresses. As an attention gatherer, one of the girls beat on a tom-tom used in their dancing.
Sponsors of the displays said that many students joined their activities.

LAWRENCE. KANSAS
A front line officer said the battle "is being waged in complete darkness." He said the only sounds were "a scream when someone gets knifed and the moans of the wounded. Sometimes a grenade goes off."
Artillery ceased firing when the two sides closed in hand-to-hand fighting and neither side fired flares.
The South Koreans stormed the crest in an attack that began at 8:30 p.m. (5:30 a.m. EST), the fourth time they have charged up the bloody slopes of the central front height
Korean Forces Regroup After Savage Battle
Friday, Oct. 10, 1952
Three times the Chinese forced the dauntless Koreans off the crest in "human sea" attacks, but each time they returned under orders from their commander to capture and hold the peak.
But the momentary lull was devoted to regrouping both forces for a continuation of the crucial battle.
Seoul, Korea —(U.P.)— Exhausted South Koreans and Red Chinese re-grouped their forces on the blood and rain-drenched slopes of White Horse mountain tonight after the strategic height had changed hands four times in hand-to-hand fighting.
The savage battle, in which the South Koreans clawed their way to the crest for the fourth time, using knives, fists and rifle butts against fanatic Chinese, was broken off temporarily when Allied planes set the pitch-black battlefield ablaze with flares.
The South Koreans dropped back 150 yards from their exposed mountain-top toehold as the flares burst. All but a handful of the Chinese Reds also slithered back down the corpse-steel mountain-side.
Truman Denounces Military President
Mr. Truman, nearing the end of a two-week, coast-to-coast whistle stop tour in support of Gov. Stevenson, scheduled 10 rear platform speeches on the way from Buffalo to New York City.
Washington—(U.P.)—President Truman, labeled by Dwight D. Eisenhower as "White House Spokesman" for Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, aimed fresh barbs at the Republican presidential nominee today.
Gen. Eisenhower, who planned stops in Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, Salt Lake City and Denver today, told 9,000 cheering persons in Los Angeles that "nothing has done the land saving things I feel sure the administration candidate could not bring himself to say."
Gov. Stevenson's "propellor stop" campaign whirled into Oklahoma City, where in a speech prepared for delivery at a Democratic rally, the Illinois governor said a GOP victory next month could wreck America's role in the collective security program and put the nation on "a sure road to disaster."
He told a Buffalo audience of 7,500 to be careful to elect a president who "understands what it takes to preserve your rights . . . and this is one part of the job of being president that you better not turn over to a professional military man."
Other political developments. I. Sen. John J. Sparkman said
Other political developments:
Republicans "have talked long about corruption, but it has been the Democrats who have done something about it."
2. Sen. Sparkman's Republican counterpart, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, said the administration's "jellyfish diplomacy" at home and abroad "has brought us to the ragged edge of world crisis." The Californian told a crowd at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., that the Democratic high command is "spineless." This was a reply to Gov. Stevenson's "slurring reference" that Gen. Eisenhower lacks "backbone."
3. Vice president Alben W. Barkley defended Gov. Stevenson's use of humor in campaign speeches. Appearing on a television interview, Mr. Barkley said that "if I had to make my choice between laughter and sorrow, even in a political campaign, I think I would rather have a little humor."
4. Sen. Robert A. Taft, speaking in Bloomington, Ind., said the threat of communism was created by the administration's bad judgment and "pro-Communist sympathies."
FACTS to Back Labor Bill, 'Little Hoover Commission'
FACTS last night endorsed two bills to be brought before the All Student Council next week. $
One of the proposed bills would create an ASC student labor committee, which would devote itself to working for higher student wages and improved employer-employee relations. The committee

Ike Tops Stevenson in Campus Poll
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower scored a straw poll victory over Gov. Adlai Stevenson by a margin of 2.5 to 1.
In the poll, sponsored jointly by the Associated Collegiate press and Daily Kansan, reporters interviewed 161 students. Gen. Eisenhower received 110 votes and Gov. Stevenson 41. Ten persons were undecided.
The interview consisted of three questions. The first question asked if the student would vote for Gen. Eisenhower, Gov. Stevenson, another candidate, or undecided.
The second question asked the political party of the student. They could answer Republican, Democrat, independent, or another party.
The last question asked if the student's parents agreed with their party choice, disagreed, if they didn't
know, or if there was another answer. There were no write-in votes.
A breakdown of the votes showed that 87 persons considered themselves Republicans, 34 Democrats, 30 independent, 4 had no party choice, 2 were non-partisan, and 4 wouldn't say.
General Eisenhower received 58 votes from women students and Gov. Stevenson received 24. Fifty-two male students preferred Gen. Eisenhower and 17 preferred Gov. Stevenson.
Ten independent students preferred Gov. Stevenson and 17 others decided on Gen. Eisenhower. Three independent students were undecided.
Comments on the poll differed.
One student said, "I think Gov.
Stevenson understands government procedure more than Gen. Eisenhower and Gov. Stevenson shall get my vote."
Another student said, "Since we are going to have a Republican government anyway, I might as well vote for Gen. Eisenhower."
Interviewed in the poll were 32 freshmen, 28 sophomores, 57 juniors, 34 seniors, and 10 graduate students.
Gen. Eisenhower got five votes from Democrats and Gov. Stevenson got two Republican votes.
The Daily Kansan will sponsor a presidential preference primary Oct. 28.
Seven Republicans said their parents disagreed with their political affiliation, and 11 Democrats said their parents disagreed with their choice.
This committee would be subdivided into a student labor relations board, a student fair emeritus committee commission, and a research body.
would consist of six Council members and a faculty adviser.
The other proposed bill would create a "little Hoover commission" to study administrative reorganization of the ASC and present a package reorganization plan for Council consideration.
"We think an over-all revamping will be more effective than one which deals with only certain parts of Council set-up." Will Adams, graduate student, said in presenting the plan.
FACTS also voted to suspend their by-laws to permit a party vacancy in ASC district 4, schools of law and medicine, to be filled by a special election to be held simultaneously Oct.29 with the freshman primary.
FACTS by-laws require that a special election to fill the vacancy be held before two ASC meetings occur. Marc Hurt, college sophomore, temporarily is filling this vacancy.
The vacancy cannot be filled by an action of the FACTS tribune, as was implied yesterday in a Kansas story.
