Today's Kansan Is First Issue In New Building
Today's issue of the University Daily Kansan is the first to be published from the new Journalism building. The news-editorial and advertising — circulation departments already have moved in and are conducting business as usual.
However, composing and printing for the Kansan probably will be done in the old building for the entire spring semester, Victor J. Danilov, assistant professor of journalism, said.
Even though the room numbers in the new building necessarily have been changed, the phone numbers remain the same. The new room numbers are as follows:
Business office, 111; news room, 112; Dean Burton W. Marvin of the William Allen White School of Journalism, 105; Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism, 108; Victor J. Danielov, 112a; Frances Grinstead, associate professor of journalism, 203.
Emil L. Telfel, associate professor of journalism, 204; Calder M. Pickett, assistant professor of journalism 222; Robert W. Doores, instructor in journalism, 111a, and Robert Wentworth, assistant professor of journalism, 302.
Foreign Students Tour KC Points
After one semester of Americanization at the University, KU foreign students took a new look at American life by an afternoon tour of Kansas City yesterday.
After visiting various cultural centers in Kansas City in the afternoon, the group attended a concert by the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra in the evening.
Places visited included the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art, the Mary Atkins Museum of Fine Arts, the Community Christian church, the Country Club Plaza, and the Liberty Memorial.
The field trip was planned by the foreign student committee of which Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men, is chairman. This year there are 124 foreign students on the KU campus coming from 42 countries.
This was the second tour arranged this school year for the KU foreign students. Last fall 82 students spent an afternoon visiting industries and the state house in Topeka.
Sophomore Representatives To Plan Parties Tonight
Sophomore class representatives will plan next semester's entertainment schedule at a meeting in the AWS lounge in Strong at 7 tonight.
All sophomores who do not live in an organized house and who did not choose a representative are also invited to attend the meeting.
Chaplin Comedy To Be Shown Friday
"City Lights," a re-release of the Charlie Chaplin comedy produced in 1930, will be shown in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
This is the sixth of 10 movies presented as part of the University film series. Students and faculty members are admitted free.
Alumni Nominating Committees Named
Membership of the two nominating committees that will provide candidates for the annual election of the University Alumni association were announced today by Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
Olin K. Petefish, law '35, Lawrence, is chairman of one committee. Serving with him will be Tom W. Poor, 25, Olathe, and Mrs. E. Bert Collard, Jr. (Betty Tholen Collard), 37. Leavenworth.
The opposing slate of candidates will be nominated by a committee of Roy A. Edwards, '42, chairman, Kansas City, Kan.; Prof. George W. Bradshaw, '34, Lawrence, and Mrs. Melvin F. Lindeman (Sue Johnston Lindeman), '42.
Members of the association will vote by mail during the spring with results announced at commencement in June. The annual election of the president, vice president and two directors is expected to produce several thousand votes.
Biology Laboratory Manual Goes Into Third Printing
A third printing of a laboratory manual entitled "Laboratory Directions for General Biology," by Dr Laurence C. Woodruff and Ruth E. McNair of the University of Kansas, has been completed by the William C. Brown company of Dubuque, Iowa.
Although the manual was tailored for use in KU's general biology course, it has been adopted by several other schools.
The first printing was made in 1947 and the second in 1949. The material in the manual has been limited to what the student can cover in one semester, Dr. Woodruff said. It is planned for use in zoological work at the Museum of Natural History and field trips on the campus.
75 Silver Dollars Bewilder Cashier
Most students pay their fees by check but there are the exceptions. The business office was only slightly amazed when Bob Marshall, business junior, pulled out eight ten-dollar bills but imagine the surprise when George Mayberry, sophomore engineer, calmly plunked down 75 silver dollars and a lone half dollar.
The bewildered business office employee didn't even bother to count the pile of silver-at least, not until the line of students shortened.

News Roundup
Truman Scratches Name In New Hampshire Race
Washington—(U.P.)President Truman said today that he would have his name removed from the New Hampshire presidential primary, but he added that this was not indicative of his plans for the future.
The chief executive told newsmen that if he decided to become a candidate for re-election, he would not have to enter any primaries.
Mr. Truman said the reason he was withdrawing from the New Hampshire primary was because there was no sense as he saw it in being entered in any preference primary.
The President for the first time in many weeks evidenced some displeasure about playing the question-and-answer game with reporters over his possible 1952 reelection plans.
State department spokesman Michael J. McDermott said that as yet he had no information on why the centers were ordered closed.
Iran Orders Closing Of U.S. Centers
Washington—(U.R.)The State department said today that Iran has ordered all U.S. information service and cultural centers in Iran closed except those in the capital of Tehran.
State department officials said, however, that they were not surprised at the action in view of word that Iran intended to close British centers.
Tackle Last Truce Agenda Problem
Panmunjom, Korea—(U.P)—The United Nations proposed today that Korean truce delegates start immediate discussion of the fifth and last agenda item in a new and definite attempt to end the war soon.
Vice Adm. C. Turner Joy, senior UN delegate, invited Communist Truce Chief Gen. Nam II to submit proposals for the fifth item at an early date to speed the dragging talks.
Agenda item five, called the "catch all" item, calls for "recommendations to the government of the countries concerned on both sides."
It was placed on the agenda primarily to give the Reds an "out" when the Allies refused to consider the question of withdrawing foreign troops from Korea.
UMT Urged On "Modest Scale" Now
Washington—Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey urged today that a universal military training program be started immediately "on a modest scale."
Hershey told the House Armed Services committee the draft and UMT "can and must" operate at the same time, but said the first "Umtees" would have to go into active military service after their training instead of into the reserves as originally planned.
However, Committee Chairman Carl Vinson told newsmen enough 18-year-olds could be spared from the draft pool so the "Umtees" could be placed in the reserves for $7\frac{1}{2}$ years after their six months training. Only in this way, the Georgia Democrat said, can a pool of trained reserves be built up so it will be possible to reduce the standing military force.
Washington—(U.P.)—House investigators are concerned by reports of "recriminations" against witnesses who have cooperated in their investigation of Communism.
Sources close to the House Un-American Activities committee said members hope to take steps "to remedy the situation and to prevent its recurrence in the future."
House Investigates 'Recriminations'
"These friendly witnesses," they said, "stand to lose their jobs even though they have broken away from Communism completely and have evidenced their loyalty to their country by coming before the committee to supply valuable information needed by the congress."
Cairo, Egypt—(U.P.)—Premier Aly Maher Pasha is ready to negotiate Egypt's dispute with Britain, a foreign office spokesman said today.
Premier Ready To Negotiate Dispute
The spokesman said the new premier was prepared to "accept any proposals which would satisfy Egypt's national aspirations."
Cairo itself was still tense and a feeling of nervousness persisted among the citizens although there have been no new outbreaks since Saturday's bloody rioting in the capital.
The government shook up the nation's top security posts and warned "unruly elements" that Army and police forces would shoot at the first signs of new disturbances.
Churchill Faces Vote Of Confidence
London—(U.P.)-British Prime Minister Winston Churchill faces a parliamentary vote of confidence today on his conservative government's super-austerity program to cure Britain's economic ills.
The Labor opposition party Wednesday denounced the conservative proposed cuts in the welfare state and challenged Churchill to a vote of confidence.
A vote of non-confidence would mean the fall of the Conservative government, but this is not expected since Churchill seemed assured of liberal support which would guarantee his majority in Parliament.
