Greeks, Independents ToOpposePachacamac
F. A.C.T.S.. a new campus political party, was officially registered at the dean of men's office Wednesday.
By BOB SANFORD
James Logan, president of the party, submitted a copy of the party's constitution and a list of signatures of 450 members to Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men.
The party, which bears the official name of Society of the First Actually Constructive Ticket, has both men and women members. The membership of the party is composed of Greek and independent students.
F. A.C.T.S. opposes the Greek Pathacacamac party, which has been the only political party on the campus since the death of the Independent Men's party in the spring of 1950.
Logan said that the party was founded on the belief that the students should have a political party based on political issues and not restricted by other student affiliations.
He said, "We feel the Greek-Independent residence split is idiotic, and is the most important reason for the present petty, non-issue campaigns in campus elections.
"We feel the present All Student Council is not truly representative of the students because it is controlled by a machine—a machine represented by a small minority of the students in the University."18
As a party platform, Logan said that F.A.C.T.S. wants an All Student Council that will take the students' part on issues that concern all students, issues such as:
1. The legislative cuts which seem to be sure to increase student
2. Conveniences for the students from such things as non-scholarship dormitories for University men and for married students, to a day-of-grace period between the end of classes and final week.
fees as well as cut down the University's services to the student.
3. Elimination of racial discrimination on the campus and in Lawrence.
5. Improvements that the students want in the facilities of the new Union additions."
4. Raising student wages from the low at which they now stand.
Walter Brown, a F.A.C.T.S. member who accompanied Logan in submitting the party constitution, said that the party is organized so that every member has an equal vote. Issues and candidates for the party are to be decided in open primary elections among the party membership.
F. A.C.T.S. is the first party soliciting membership from both independent and Greek students since the Progressive Student Governing league, which died in 1947. The P.S. G.L. was organized in 1935 and was the ruling campus political party during most of the time of its existence.
Don't forget the ear muffs. They may not look stylish, but it's best to wear them, according to Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the health service.
Co-op Council Elects Murray
Richard Murray, College senior was elected co-ordinator of the Inter-co-op council at a joint meeting of University co-ops Tuesday.
The group voted to continue housing scholarships for displaced persons. Annalisa Garsoni, an Italian student, sponsored by the Society of Friends, holds the present scholarship.
The Mens' Membership committee elected Henry Bradshaw, College junior, chairman. They also voted co-op admission to Raymond Beery, College sophomore, Doszsilagyi and Stenislov Rysech. Rysech, sponsored by the Congregational church, will arrive in March. Mr. Diossilagyi will be here next month.
Wear Ear Muffs Canuteson Says
Several persons with frozen ears came to the hospital for treatment during the last cold spell, he said. Unless students take the necessary precautions, more cases are expected.
Zoltan Dioszsliagi, 28, a graduate of the Zurich Technical institute in Switzerland, will receive the second scholarship, Dioszsliagi, who also has a University fellowship, is sponsored by the Oread Meeting Society of Friends and the Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy.
Two co-ops have been opened at the University. They are the Rochdale co-op, 1244 Ohio street and a co-op for married couples at 1334 Ohio street. Twin Pines, now at $1337_{1/2}$ Tennessee street, was formerly at the Rochdale site.
The position of chairman of the Student Statewide Activities is open. Anyone interested should address applications to Jack Howard, 1603 Massachusetts street, or phone Howard at 2373-J. Applications must be in by Feb. 25.
State Wide Activities Need Chairman
British Steel Is 'Socialized'
The government now owns the material needed for constructing cars, ships, planes, buildings and for making all the thousands of products, large and small, the nation uses.
The Bank of England, coal, civil aviation, transport, gas and electricity were nationalized earlier but the steel take-over marks, as none of the others have done, a basic change in the overall economy.
London (U.P.)-Britain's great iron and steel industry passed into public ownership today in the country's biggest step toward state socialism
KANSAS: Occasional light snow central and west, light freezing rain, sleet, or snow in extreme east this afternoon and tonight. Friday mostly cloudy, light snow in east except light freezing rain, sleet, or snow extreme east. Slowly rising temperatures Friday and over east tonight. Low tonight 15 to 20 west to 20-25 east; high Friday 35 to 45, near 32 east.
As of midnight, steel became the seventh major industry to be nationalized since Prime Minister Clement Attlee's labor government came to power in 1945. He is known as the international crisis is resolved and labor has a bigger margin in the house of commons.
WEATHER
The manufacturing processes still are in the hands of private enterprise. But government control of the basic ingredient now has given it an indirect but powerful rein on most of the economy.
Lab Theater To Begin Two Plays Feb. 20
Two comedies, "Overtones" by Gerstenberg and Howard, and "Moonshine," by Arthur Hopkins, will be presented in the Little theater in Green hall for four nights beginning Tuesday Feb. 20.
"Overtones," directed by Ruby Motta, assistant instructor in speech, is a typical conversation between two women at tea time. Their doubles are seen on the stage at the same time reflecting what is really going on in the two women's minds.
"Moonshine" takes place in the Tennessee Hills. The conversation is a match of wits between a revenue officer and a hillbilly who makes moonshine liquor.
Intermittent sleet and rain covered highways with a sheet of ice this morning. Students commuting from Topeka and Kansas City described driving conditions as dangerous.
The total precipitation since Tuesday is .22 inch. The building and grounds department of the University swept sidewalks and put sand on several streets this morning.
Temperatures have risen since Tuesday, but they are still below freezing. The reading at the Lawrence airport was 26 degrees at 10 o'clock this morning.
Lawrence police reported four minor accidents during the 18-hour period since 3 p.m. Tuesday. None involved K.U. students.
Kansas weatherman Richard Garrett said light snow, sleet or freezing rain will probably continue into Friday. "We're getting enough freezing moisture to ice wires and slicken roads, but this is not an exceptionally rough glause storm," he added.
Southeast Kansas received the most snow. Pittsburgh measured eight inches, Coffeyville six, and Chanute one. Ever measured, one inch or less.
The United Press reported a giant ice-cap covered three-fifths of Texas o o c tangling communications, suspending tractors and slowing business activities to a crawl.
Schools were closed in Dallas, Fort Worth and scores of other cities in the ice belt. The storm turned up such sights as one wrecker pulling another out of the gutter and street car riders building fires on downtown corners until stalled vehicles could be moved.
Sleet, Snow, Ice Hit Lawrence And Southwest
The U.S. weather bureau in Dallas said relief was in sight. Forecasters predicted that a slow thaw would begin tonight and would bring the state out of the "deep freeze" by tomorrow.
Temperatures were moderating over the plains states today, but the mercury plunged well below zero in the mountains. A warm air routed balmy weather in the East.
Highways in northeastern Oklahoma were closed in spots as four-to-eight-inch snows blanketed the area.
Pawnshops Alerted For Stolen Goods
The Ozark mountain area of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri also was hard-hit.
Pawnshops in Kansas City, Kan.
and Kansas City, Mo., have been
alerted to watch for $1,500 worth of
photographic equipment stolen from
the University Photographic bureau
Sunday night.
John Ingalls, Lawrence police chief, said the Kansas City police are also working on the case. Lists of the articles stolen have been distributed to pawnshops.
Six US Divisions To Stay In Europe
Washington (U.P.)—Defense secretary George C. Marshall said today present plans call for keeping about six divisions of U.S. ground forces in Western Europe.
He said this is the recommendation of the joint chiefs of staff and has the approval of President Truman.
Marshall said there are two fundamental factors in the integrated defense plans for Western Europe and our success or failure will depend on:
The United States, he said, now has "unarmed troops" on occupation duty three
1. "The support which it receives from this country and the other nations associated with us.
2. "The ability with which it is carried out by General Eisenhower and the staff he is now assembling."
Marshall said congress appeared to be focusing its attention to the first point; that he was confident it had no misgivings on the second.
He said the plan proposed is to build stronger forces in the north Atlantic community of nations to be able to defeat aggression if "the Soviet union or its satellites should precipitate another world war."
As Eisenhower pointed out, he said, U.S. ground forces in Western hope will constitute only a minor part of the overall forces to be provided.
Chairman Tom Connally, D. Tex., of the foreign relations committee was ready to invite testimony from Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York if Republican foes of the troop pro- president Herbert Hoover. The views of Dewey and Mr. Hoover are wide apart on the troop matter.
Connally made public Wednesday night a report based upon government intelligence data which found that the economic and military potential of the west "greatly exceeds"
Bee Tells Club Of Marital Ills
Current marital instability is caused by shifts of power, Lawrence S. Bee, professor of sociology and anthropology, told members of the International club Tuesday evening.
The shift of power, money, and industry from one group to another, and the shift in family responsibilities, have resulted in disorganization, both in nations and in families, Dr. Bee said.
It's the change from the simple, rural, agricultural life to the assembly-line system of the cities." Dr. Bee continued. "The hostility, anxiety, and conflict in the world are reflected in divorces."
Dr. Bee added that there is "no such thing as an American attitude toward marriages." There are as many attitudes as there are sections of the country, he pointed out.
Marriage cannot exist successfully in a state worshipping totalitarianism, Dr. Bee said, but successful marriage can be achieved even in a nation that is undergoing internal, political, and economic turmoil.
Summer Rushing Discussed In KC
Margaret Habein, dean of women, and Pat Glover, Pan Hellenic president, went to Kansas City, Mo. Tuesday to represent the University in a three-school panel discussion on the problems of summer rushing in Kansas City.
The Pan Hellenic presidents and deans of women from Kansas State college and Missouri university were also present.
They met with the Kansas City alumnae group to discuss the possibility of the three schools adopting the same summer rush rules in Kansas City.
They also discussed freshmen dormitory systems. Missouri has had freshmen dorms for four years, and uses the immediate pledging system
Kansas State will have freshmen dorms this fall, as will K.U. K.U. will have deferred pledging. Kansas State has not decided on a plan for pledging.
that of Russia and her satellites. Marshall was primed to make clear that to make this advantage stick the United States must send troops as well as munitions into the international effort.
The report stated that the Russian bloc has about five million men under arms organized into 175 divisions while the Atlantic pact forces total 4,500,000 of which 2,800,000 represent ground troops. Although the report did not claim that the West could or would soon match Communist ground strength, it held that both the military and economic potential of the free world overshadowed anything the Kremlin can muster.
Delay Action On 18-Year Draft
Washington — (U.P.) — Democratic leaders, confident the senate will approve the 18-year-old draft, shelved t temporarily today pending action on the controversial troops-for-Europe issue.
Chairman Richard B. Russell said the draft measure unanimously approved by his armed services committee is "a fine bill." The Georgia Democrat said he thinks Congress will pass the historic universal military service proposal "substantially" as it stands.
Congress and the president are given authority to cut down the service period when world conditions warrant.
No action was expected by the senate until it is decided whether to limit shipment of U.S. troops for the Atlantic pact army.
Russell said the senate's decision on what should be done to help Gen. Hamlet and Engineer European defense force with "hard" effect on the manpower issue.
The committee voted to draft 18-year-olds on an oldest first basis, but only after draft boards have exhausted pools of men 19 through 25. The committee also voted to end deferment of non-veterans who are childless fathers or have only a single dependent.
Another committee provision makes it clear that all drafteres—regards to their age—would get four years' basic training before being sent overseas.
The committee set the service period at 26-months, but drafttees could complete their service in 24 months when take two months of terminal leave.
