All Student Council Elections To Be Held April 11
All Student Council spring elections will be Wednesday, April 11. Damon Simpson, chairman of the elections committee, made the announcement at the A.S.C. meeting Tuesday night.
meirin Clingan, president, read a letter from the award committee of the Basketball Sportsmanship trophy given to one of the Big Seven schools each year by post 469 of the American Legion, Kansas City, Mo. The letter asked the help of the A.S.C. in creating better sportsmanship in Big Seven schools.
Each year the Legion post presents the trophy to one of the Big Seven schools. With the permission of the conference authorities this trophy was created as a memorial to the Big Seven athletes who died in World War II.
Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of good sportsmanship on the part of the coaches and spectators, as well as the players, in the hope that the over-all level of sportsmanship can be raised.
The trophy is awarded at a banquet in Kansas City the night before the N.C.A.A. Western play-offs. The winner is determined by a committee composed of members of the Blue Hills post o nthe basis of a poll of sportswriters, sportscasters, officials and coaches who are familiar with the various teams.
Four principal points are taken into consideration in the determina- tion of the winner:
1. The conduct of the spectators at home games.
It is a roving trophy and the winner is given possession from the time of 'presentation until the preseason tournament of the following year.
A bill limiting the A.S.C. appropriation to any one student organization in one year to 5 per cent of the total A.S.C. allotment from activity fees was defeated.
4. The conduct of the coaches.
Joe Wimsatt, A.S.C. treasurer, reported that the council is an estimated $560 short in its '50-51 budget. He said the council received $1,750 from student activity fees paid in the spring semester enrollment, which was less than planned for in the budget. Rebudgeting will be necessary.
The council voted not to renew the "Junior Year Abroad" scholarship of $500. The scholarship was set up last year to enable some student to study in Europe for a year.
Roger Davis, first year law student, was appointed to represent the Council at the State Student Council conference in Wichita. The date of this meeting is not decided.
3. The conduct of the players.
2. The effort made by the student government or other responsible agencies to bring about improvement in sportsmanship.
Turning the Jayhawk magazine into a one-issue annual was discussed by the council. The publications committee was delegated to look into the advisability of this. Jack Howard, business senior and
chairman of the committee on committees, announced the various committee chairmen and members for the coming semester. Committee chairmen gave reports on their accomplishments last semester.
Richard Bradley, chairman of a special committee on a proposed snack bar in Strong hall, reported that Chancellor Malott did not consider the plan advisable.
Council members not at the meeting were Pat Gardenhire, College sophomore; Patsy Cameron, College senior; Max Whitson, College sophomore; Janith Lewis, College sophomore; Natalie Logan, education senior; Dean Wells, business junior, and Maureen Kelley, fine arts freshman.
Thieves Take Equipment Worth $1,500
Equipment worth approximately $1,500 was stolen from the University Photographic bureau Sunday night.
Bob Rose, director of the bureau,
discovered the theft when he arrived at the bureau at 11 a.m. Monday.
He reported the theft to the police at that time. The lost equipment was not insured.
Lawrence police said that keys were used to open the door of the bureau. Rose said that nothing had been broken into.
Rose left the bureau, which is located in the basement of Watson library, at 8 p.m. Sunday. The employee who opened the bureau Monday morning thought that Rose had taken the missing equipment home, so the theft was not discovered until Rose arrived.
The stolen equipment included two Leica cameras and a case, six other cameras, a tripod and other smaller equipment.
Lawrence police have sent lists of the articles stolen in both places to the Kansas City and Topeka police, and will attempt to trace the sale of the articles in camera or pawn shops.
This theft can be connected with the burglary at the Military Science building last weekend, police said. The Military Science building was entered with a key and cases holding Luger and antique guns were opened but not broken into.
These thefts are the third in a series of recent thefts, including the burglary of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house during the semester vacation. The home of H. A. Ireland, professor of geology, was robbed of $1,000 worth of clothing and jewelry last week.
None of the stolen articles have been recovered, police said.
Seas Hold Secrets Rubey Explains
If the history of the oceans and atmosphere were known, it would throw light on many other geological problems. Dr. William W. Rubey, said in a lecture in Lindley hall Tuesday night.
Janet Turk, instructor in piano will present a recital at 8 p.m. today in Strong auditorium. The public is invited.
Former president of the Geological Society of America, Dr. Rubey is now research geologist for the United States Geological survey.
Turk Piano Recital Today
It is possible that the water and atmosphere of the earth may have the almost entirely from the earth's interior through volcanoes and hot springs. This might imply that the volume of the ocean has grown with time," he said.
"Studies of the mineral and fossil content of sedimentary rocks indicate that the composition of seawater and atmosphere has varied only slightly since early geologic time."

The measure, passed 31 to 2 Monday by the senate, appropriated $5,006,646 for construction at seven state schools. Biggest item is $1,-863,000 to go with $750,000 previously appropriated for the K.U. fieldhouse and armory.
Rep. Chris Green, R. Courtland, committee chairman, said his group likely will vote this afternoon whether to recommend the bill's passage to the full house membership.
"I believe the bill will be considered favorably," he said.

KANSAS: Snow in southeast half of state this afternoon spreading over the state tonight and turning to sleet over southeast and extreme east tonight. Continuing Thursday. Accumulation of snow and sleet will be heavy over southeast half of state.
Kansas Remains In Wintry Grip
By UNITED PRESS
Kansas was in the grip of winter today. A layer of snow covered most of the state and new falls were expected over the entire state by nightfall.
The storms which buffeted Kansas during the early part of the week were "backing up." weatherman Richard Garrett said.
Snow was falling in southeastern counties this morning and flurries were reported in the areas of Wichita and Chanute.
"The snow will spread over the state tonight and turn to sleet in the southeast and extreme east before dawn tomorrow," Mr. Garrett said.
The wintry storms will continue into Thursday and a deep accumulation of snow and sleet was expected in the southeast half of the state. A report of $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches of snow came from Coffeyville. Other stations recorded from one to two inches of snow on the ground. Highways, however, were clear and transportation facilities had not been hampered today.
The cold wave which sent mercury readings to a minimum of five below zero at Goodland last night was expected to ease somewhat today. Temperatures will rise slowly during the day and lows of between 5 and 20 are forecast for tonight. Highs Thursday will range from 25 in the southeast to 30 in the northwest. Winds, sometimes becoming strong, will be felt in the southeast and extreme east tonight.
South Koreans Make Landings North Of 38th
Tokyo (U.P.)-South Korean marines hit the Reds with an amphibious landing 130 miles behind the lines in northeast Korea Wednesday and smashed to the outskirts of the big port of Wonsan.
U. S. 8th army headquarters said the landing was made under cover of a furious naval bombardment at the north end of Wonsan harbor. The U.S. 10th corps abandoned Wonsan to the Reds last December.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur said Tuesday there would be no Allied crossing of the 38th parallel in force by his United Nations' armies. He said patrols might cross the old border between North and South Korea in the course of the present war of maneuver.
The Wonsan thrust may have been designed to divert the attention of Communist reinforcements streaming south to join the 170,000 Chinese and North Koreans poised in the central front offensive.
First reports said U.S. marines were involved in the Wonsan landing but this later proved to be an error. A navy spokesman in Tokyo said only South Korean marines were involved.
The South Koreans occupied two islands in Wonsan harbor at the same time they landed on the beach. The landing was covered by a massive allied fleet offshore, including the battleship Missouri, with its 16-inch guns, and cruisers and destrovers.
The 8th army announcement of the landing gave no immediate indication whether it was a hit-and-run raid, a reconnaissance in force or an attempt to seize a bridgehead in North Korea.
Wonsan is one of the main Communist supply bases for the Eastern part of the fighting front. The Chinese Communist 3rd field army was reported to have made its headquarters there after the U.S. 10th corps withdrew last December.
Author Of 'The Robe' Dies After Heart Attack
Hollywood (U.P.)—Lloyd C. Douglas, 73, Lutheran clergyman who became one of the world's most widely-read novelists, died of a heart attack Tuesday night at Good Samaritan hospital.
He was admitted to the hospital Sunday suffering from a heart alment and was unconscious most of Tuesday.
At his bedside were his two daughters, Mrs. J. Weldon Wilson of Las Vegas, and-Mrs. Howard L. Dawson of Montreal. He had lived with Mrs. Wilson since his wife died in 1944.
Douglas' writings combined biblical lore, adventure and love. "Magnificent Obsession" and "The Robe" were his best known works. Other novels included "White Banners," "Green Light," "Disputed Passage," and "The Big Fisherman," his most recent book.
He was working on an autobiography at the time of his death. Several of his novels were made
into motion pictures. "The Robe" was purchased before it was finished but has not yet reached the screen.
Douglas, the son of an Indiana clergyman, was born in Columbus City, Ind., in 1877. He was ordained in 1903 and received his doctor of divinity degree from Fargo, N.D., college in 1920. He served pastorates in Indiana, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Michigan, California, and Montreal.
In 1933 he retired from the pulpit to write and lecture.
