Fall Semester Parking Permits Expire Jan. 31
Parking permits for the fall semester expire at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31, and the new spring semester parking permits will go into effect at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 1, said Donald K. Alderson, chairman of the Traffic and Parking committee.
Mr. Alderson explained that students whose parking needs haven't changed may apply for the new permits by signing their original application on file in the Parking Committee office, 200 Old Fowler shops. Other students must make full application in the parking office. The students should check the office after applying to see if their permits were approved.
The spring permits may be purchased at the Business office for 75 cents after registration fees have been paid. Since applications must be processed through the parking committee before the Business office is authorized to issue the permits, students are urged to apply early.
Faculty members and University employees, will receive their permits through the campus mail.
No changes will be made in parking rules and regulations for the periods between semesters, or registration, Mr. Alderson emphasized.

Two Constables, One Justice Elected From Sigma Nu House
The K-U, chapter of Sigma Nu social fraternity has three members who were write-in victors in the November election.
Jerome E. Jones, second year law, was elected justice of the peace, and Tom Collins and Jack Stewart, business seniors, were elected constables. All three are officials in Wakarusa township.
The Sigma Nu house is located in West Hills, just outside the Lawrence city limits and is in Wakarusa township making residents of the
house eligible to hold offices. There were no other candidates for the positions and the posts do not pay any salary, except in the event that as a constable they should be called to pose duty or in Jones' case he would receive a commission on every marriage he performs.
This is not the first time the house has had constables, however. Two years ago John Touhey and E. R. Bell, both graduates in 1949, were elected to the constable positions.
Woman War Correspondent To Tell About Korean War
Marguerite "Maggie" Higgins, Korean war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune will speak on "The Terrible Days in Korea—A Brief Moment in History" at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28 in Fraser theater.
She was stationed at the Herald $ \textcircled{4} $
It Won't Run On Money
Tribune Tokyo bureau at the outbreak of the Korean war and two days later was on the fighting front.
She was flown to the United States in October to make a special appearance and to report to the annual Herold Tribune forum.
When she first arrived on the scene of the fighting in Korea from Tokyo, she was ordered to return to Japan because authorities felt "This is just not the type of war where women ought to be running around the front lines."
After a brief stay in this country, Miss Higgins flew back to the front in Asia where she remained up to the time of her first lecture tour early this year.
Within 24 hours General MacArthur cabled the Herald Tribune: "Marguerite Higgins is held in the highest esteem by everyone" and permitted her to return to the front.
Probably the prettiest war correspondent of the day, Miss Higgins is a child of war. She was born, the daughter of an Irish - American soldier-father and a French mother, in Hong Kong in 1920. She spoke only French and Chinese until she was 12 and attended schools in France and England. In 1941, she graduated with honors from the University of California, and became a Herald Tribune campus correspondent while working for her master's degree in journalism at Columbia university. She joined that paper's New York city staff in 1942.
Piggott, Ark.—(U.P.)Victor Elder said the filling station attendant really gave the cute young thing the once over as he pocketed Elder's gas cap and crammed the currency in the gas tank.
Because of her fluency in French, she was sent to Europe as a war correspondent in 1944. She received the New York Newspaperwoman's club award for the best foreign correspondence in 1945 and the same year became chief of the paper's Berlin bureau.

Europe Likes USBudget; China May Cease-Fire
London—(U.R.)—President Truman's proposed defense spending sent American prestige in Europe to a new high today.
His budget calling for expenditures of $71,594,000,000 in fiscal 1952, most of it for defense and foreign aid, won headlines and a flood of editorial tributes in most European newspapers.
Newspapers printed graphs to show that the American defense outlay for fiscal 1952, beginning July 1, would be higher than the national incomes of many of the Atlantic pact nations.
"The American budget is more beyond comprehension," the liberal News Chronicle said. "Its mounting billions have far outsoared the stage where figures themselves have any meaning for the average mind . . . It is a salutary reminder that even in this sorry world all the power does not lie with the enemies of freedom."
" . . . Encouragement may be derived from the certainty that as long as we do not falter the might of America is available to defend freedom.
And the independent conservative Times commented that "self denial on both sides of the Atlantic" would be required to stave off inflation.
Then he travels to Italy, Luxembourg, Germany, and Paris before returning to Washington.
The independent conservative Daily Telegraph said:
Meantime, informed sources in London said Communist China may accept United Nations proposals for a cease-fire in Korea and a far Eastern peace conference.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, now touring Europe for men and arms to man his proposed international army, heads for a one-day stand in Lisbon, Portugal, today.
1. Communist troops to hold their present positions pending the outcome of peace talks.
But these sources said the Chinese acceptance, passed along by the Indian ambassador in Peking, contained these reservations:
2. The cease-fire shall take place
simultaneously with the start of the
peace period.
Washington—(U.P.)-The department of defense recently announced the following casualties in the Korean area.
In Copenhagen, Scandinavian foreign ministers met in an effort to arrive at a joint policy on the American demand that Communist China be branded an aggressor.

Piano Recital Is'Romanic'
By STANFORD E. LEHMBERG
Georgianna Bennington, pianist, presented the small audience which attended her senior recital yesterday afternoon a liberal serving of interesting music, mostly of the romantic school.
Mozart's "D Major Sonata," only representative of the classic period, opened the recital. The grandly ausere allegro was performed with admirable clarity. The slow second movement was somewhat lacking in lyric quality. An atmosphere of powdered wigs and ornate drawing rooms was evoked by the theme of the last movement and the octave passages in the variations proved very powerful.
Miss Bennington put more imagination into her group of Schumann pieces. The inner-voice melody of the "Romance" in F sharp was clearly and reflectively articulated. A graceful reading of the "Bird as Prophet" was thoroughly delightful. The "Abegg" variations, in which the theme is derived from the name of Schumann's friend, the Countess Pauline von Abegg, sparkled with runs as scintillant as points of fire.
Following a rather superficial and unpoetic performance of Chopin's "Nocturne in G," Miss Bennington sonorously interpreted the impassioned pages of the C Minor Nocturne, unquestionably one of Chopin's finest works.
The "Fairy Tale" Op. 20, No. 1 by Nicholas Medner, contemporary musical successor to the Brithers Grimm, wove a spell all its own. With unfaltering technique Miss Bennington picked her way through a maze of repeated notes in Pirani's toccata-like "Mandolinata." The surging melodic line of the Rhapsody in C by Ernst von Dohananyi, contemporary Hungarian composer, brought the program to an effective close.
Miss Bennington is a student of Jan Chiapusso, professor of piano.
K. U. won the team championship in the 13-school field by winning 7 of 8 debates, Oval J. Swander, business junior was ranked the tournament's outstanding speaker and Steve Mills, College senior, tied for the second best speaker rating.
A four-man University debate squad won the third annual invitational forensic conference at Purdue university Friday and Saturday for the third consecutive year.
Debate Squad Wins Tourney
Kent Shearer, College senior and Lee Turner, business junior, the other members of the K.U. team, rated among the tournament's 12 best speakers and received certificates of merit. Prof. E. C. Buehler, K.U.'s veteran debate coach, accompanied the squad and was a conference participant.
The Purdue invitational conference brings together debaters from schools in that area and from schools that made superior showings in the previous year's West Point national invitational展
tahonai tourney.
