Army Should Precede College, Hershey Says
Washington—(U.P.)-Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey Saturday warned students who expect to attend college next fall that they face much stiffer deferment regulations.
The tighter regulations, he said, will be aimed at getting more men to start their college training after two-year draft hitches, instead of before they go into service. In relatively few cases, Hershey said, will it be necessary for college
Student Court To Keep Record Of Case Rulings
In an effort to establish precedents for the Student Court, a complete record of the court's rulings in specific cases will be maintained for the first time in the court's history this year.
"It will thus become a court of record, and will lend stability to the decisions which it makes," chief justice Kent Shearer, second year law, said today.
In other words, the possibility of the Court's deciding an issue one way one year and reversing itself the next, will be virtually eliminated or at least greatly reduced. As it is now, the only precedents which the court has are those which are specifically contained in the ASC constitution and by-laws or which were recorded in the ASC minutes Shearer explained.
Associate justices beginning their first year of the two-year term this fall are Warren Andreas, second year law; Pat Gardenhire, journalism senior, and Reuben Short, second year law.
Sam Prohaska, third year law is prosecutor. Roy Bennett, second year law, is marshall, and Sue Quinn, college junior, is clerk of the court.
The court will sit the third Wed-
nesday of each month, probably in
106 Green, Shearer said. The old
courtroom has been taken over by
the Law Review, University law
publication.
The Student Court has jurisdiction in cases of violation of campus motor vehicle regulations, smoking violations, and all other misdemeanors covered in the constitution and by-laws of the All Student Council, except in cases where another judicial or disciplinary body has jurisdiction.
KU Claims First Course on Mites
The University may have introduced another "first" in educational advancement when it offered a course in acarology, the study of mites and ticks, last spring semester.
A United Press news story on Sept. 27, said that "Duke university is believed to be the only institution in the world offering a course in acarology."
However, Robert Beer, assistant professor of entomology, believes the university study to be "the first full course offered anywhere.
A short summer course, of two
weeks also was given before
the full year. Mr. Beer said,
Mites are of great economic importance since they do millions of dollars of damage a year and carry numerous diseases. he said.
Dr. G. W. Wharton of Duke and Dr. E. W. Baker of the U.S. National Museum in Washington, "probably the greatest authority in the field," recently have written the first acarology textbook, Mr. Beer said.
"There are relatively few acarologists in the country," Mr. Beer said, "understand the University of California playing a full course in acarology also."
training to precede military service.
The draft director reviewed his ideas about the college student deferment program in his agency's monthly newspaper "Selective Service." He came to this conclusion:
"A change in the college deferment program to reduce the number in college whose military service has been deferred is indicated for the autumn of 1953."
The selective service chief said the change can begin with the 1953-54 school year because thousands of men who will have completed their draft duty will be civilians again and ready to head for college.
"With the return of thousands who have done their military service, many of whom will enter college, it is hoped that the supply of available manpower will permit a gradual readjustment in the sequence of military training and college training," he said.
"Eventually, for the majority military training should precede college training."
The draft law says Selective Service regulations should take into consideration the best interests of the nation's health, safety and interest. That has been construed to mean adequate numbers of students should be deferred for college so they can get specialized training.
To see that the better students are able to get such schooling, Selective Service has been granting deferments to college men who stand in the upper portion of their classes or who score a high mark on the special college deferment examination.
That system permits about 200,000 men to go to school now before going into service.

"Corruption is not a recent innovation." Mr. LaCoss said. "We have had it always, and its complete eradication will never be achieved.
Commenting on the nation's morals, Mr. LaCoss, a 1911 KU graduate, said, "We are a nation that has rapidly become amoral rather than immoral. Our standards of what is holy are not those of God, who has been forgotten by too many, have been unabashedly lowered."
Dr. Karl Zietz of Braunschweig, Germany, is spending 10 days at the University studying methods used in the School of Education and department of psychology.
German Prof Visits Campus
Public morals are merely a reflection of private morals, Louis LaCoss, Pulitzer prize winning editorial writer from the St. Louis Globe Democrat told 300 Kansas editors Saturday in Fraser theater.
Mr. La Coss said that morality must be incorporated into the daily lives of the common people.
Shifting to political morals, Mr. LaCoss said, "The chain of revelations of political bonus systems for elective and appointive officials focuses shocked public attention upon a dangerous practice that infects the stewardship of government at all levels."
"Something must be done to change the psychology, now too prevalent, which admits that the offense is not the violation of the law but the getting caught at it."
"The political bonus system is wrong and a festering sore in public offices," he said. "It furnishes an open sesame for the unscrupulous with a hunger for the fast dollar."
Mr. La Coss's speech was part of the annual Kansas Editor's day sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism, Editors from all over the state spent the morning discussing their editorial problems. They attended a luncheon given by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and then attended the Kansas-Colorado football game.

Keynoting the congress for the first time in the place of Premier Josef Stalin, Malenkov said the Soviet Union is "strengthening and will continue to strengthen" its defenses against the possibility of an American attack.
He said Russia "is not afraid of war", but promised the Soviets would not attack the West. He said Russia believes in the possibility of "peaceful co-existence between capitalism and communism."
Stalin sit apart on the platform, his chin cupped in his hand, listening as his trusted Lieutenant made the opening address he himself had delivered at every previous party congress since the death of Nicolai Lenin in 1924.
Malenkov accused the United States of building military bases on the perimeter of the Soviet Union and saddling the junior Western partners with the burdens of aggressive American policies.
He said the U.S. has impoverished its working people, with taxes 12 times higher than in 1936-38, and has 3,000,000 unemployed and 10,000 only semi-employed.
"The Soviet people, while firmly conducting their policy of peaceful cooperation with all the countries, simultaneously realize the existence of a new aggression threatened by the war-mongers who are taking the extreme risk." Malenkov said.
"Therefore, they are strengthening and will continue to strengthen their defenses."
