K-State Bills ASC To Fix Goal Post
By BOB SANFORD
The All Student Council has received a bill for $110 from the student council of Kansas State college for the repair of a goal post that was "demolished" after the K.U. football game at Manhattan.
Melvin Clingan, A.S.C. president', reported for the committee who negotiated with Kansas State representatives and told the council Wednesday night that a bill for $20 had been presented the Kansas State council for damages done on the K.U. campus.
Under the existing peace pact between the two schools the offending school is liable for damages done to the other. In this case both schools have accused the other of offending the pact and it is interpreted that K.U. will have to pay the difference between the two bills.
The bill submitted to Kansas State is for the removal of paint from Jimmie Green, Memorial stadium, and campus sidewalks.
EL. Falkenstein, business manager of the athletic department, estimated today that $30 would repair a torn down goal post. He said that only erection of a new one should exceed this amount.
The A.S.C. has asked for a detailed voucher from the Kansas State buildings and repairs department.
The first complete financial report of the year was given to the council by Joe Patrick Wimsatt, treasurer. He reported that the council has spent $4,499.67 of its expected $6,500 allotment for the year.
One hundred dollars was appropriated to Trend, campus literary magazine, and $100 to New Writers, publication of the Writer's Workshop. Two hundred-and-fifty dollars was appropriated to Trend last
year and $139 to New Writers. Wimsatt said that the cut in the appropriations was due to the expected small enrollment for the coming semester. The amount of money allotted to the A.S.C. is determined by enrollment.
A committee to propose a plan for establishing a soft drinks bar in Strong hall was unanimously approved by the council after Richard Bradley, Inter-Co-operative council representative, reminded the council that such a bar had been one of the promises of Pachaceamac in the past year's election. Bradley was appointed chairman of the committee. Other members are Sam Wilcoxon, engineering junior, and Patricia Ann Cameron, College senior.
Miss Cameron was sworn in earlier in the meeting as the Greek representative from the Associated Women Students. She replaced Margaret Granger, education senior, who resigned.
Winsitt said that the council has spent $2,048.55 of the proposed $2,850 to be appropriated to campus organizations this school year.
Eight members were absent from the meeting. They were Roger Davis, district three; Robert Dunwell, independent Student association; Max Whitson, district one; Maxine Holsinger, district three; Jack Howard, district three; Natalie Logan, Y.W.C.A.; Donald Dirks, Y.M.C.A.; and Dean Wells, district one.
The next meeting of the council will be held Jan. 31.

Chinese Troops Occupy Seoul; Kimpo Airfield Is Abandoned
Talbot will attend a forum for political science students at 4 p.m. in the Union. Friday morning he will speak to journalism and economics classes and Friday afternoon he will confer with Dean Paul B. Lawson and College faculty members.
Tokyo — (U.P.) — Chinese troops poured into Seoul today and occupied the burning and abandoned capital almost on the heels of the retreating U.S. 8th army.
United Nations forces also abandoned Kimpo airfield,10 miles west of Seoul the biggest and best air base in the country, to the Chinese communists.
hundreds of the advancing Reds in the biggest aerial offensive of the war.
But swarms of Allied planes from other bases in Korea and Japan and from carriers offstore slaughtered
Eighth army headquarters in Korea announced the abandonment of Seoul in a special communique at 4:30 p.m. (1:30 a.m. C.S.T.).
Anyone wishing to talk with Talbot may make arrangements for an interview through the Chancellor's office.
A man who, to learn Indian sociology, lived for several months in a Hindu village on a less than $20 a month subsistence level is visiting the University this week.
Talbot, India Expert Gives Special Lectures
It said: "The city of Seoul has been successfully evacuated by all United Nations troops, who have been withdrawn as planned to their next defensive positions."
But he is more concerned this trip with a current project. Talbot is now seeking to organize a corps of men who have had valuable training in foreign affairs and integrate them into a program involving several American universities. By spending an intensive week or so at each school they could impart some of their vast experiences to hundreds of students.
Talbot is already familiar with K.U. He spoke in Fraser theater the past May at a journalism convocation, speaking on southeastern Asia, his specialty. He was a colleague of Dean Burton W. Marvin on the Chicago Daily News and for several years was a member of that paper's foreign staff.
He is Phillips Talbot, who is now assisting the president of the Institute for Current World Affairs. While here he is the guest of Chancellor and Mrs. Deane W. Malott.
Talbot was one of the institute's fellows in the late 1930's. Seeking to learn about India, he spent one year in a London school of oriental studies, then went to India. In 1939 he lived as a Hindu pearson, eating their food and following their customs for several months. The same down-to-earth methods were used in surveying Indian religions.
While at the University Talbot is anxious to contact any men who might be eligible for the institute's work.
The past year 10 men were receiving support from the institute. The average period of subsidization is five years. Talbot said, but he emphasized that each individual's program is tailored to the need as to amount and time.
It seeks young men of unusual promise who are seriously interested in some phase of the world's society about which America knows little. Such men are subsidized by the institute for an indefinite period. Talbot describes the period as "long enough to permit the man to develop in the best way until he has matured in his particular area."
Talbot Wednesday began a round of special lectures to journalism, history and political science classes, and conferences with faculty and students. He will be here through Friday.
The Institute of Current World Affairs was endowed 25 years ago by Charles R. Crane, the Crane of plumbing fixtures fame. The institute attacks the problem of education in a unique manner.
The 18-year-old driver of the car involved in an automobile accident Dec. 30, in which Natalie Pierson, fine arts freshman, was killed, died early today at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.
Accident Claims Second Victim
The second victim of the accident was John D. Walthall, 5550 State Line, Kansas City.
Miss Jordan Mac Dougall, fine arts freshman, also a passenger in the automobile, was reported in a "slightly improved condition" today by attendants at the Medical center.
French Films To Be Shown
"Ocetianie," a French film, will be shown at 4 p.m. today in the visual instruction bureau projection room. The film has English sub-titles. The movie shows the part of southern France where the Roman city of Narbonne and the medieval walled town of Carcassonne are located, and where the Canal du Midi links the Atlantic with the Mediterranean sea.
After an intermission, two other films "La Massif Central" on the mountains of Auvergne, and "France, Background for Literature," in English language, will be presented.
All students and faculty members are invited to attend these showings
Bookstore Rebates Over $20,000
The Student Union bookstore committee has declared a 15 per cent rebate on cash sales for period eight, or the period from July 1 to Dec. 31. 1950.
The amount of the rebate declared amounts to $20,316.61. $1,650 was given to students Wednesday.

In the past four years including eight rebate periods $115,608.23 has been turned back to University students.
Threatened with entrapment by a powerful Chinese - North Korea thrust deep into their eastern flank, the 8th army units below Seoul might have to be taken off by sea to rejoin the rest of the U.N. ground forces in southeast Korea.
An Allied fleet was standing off Inchon, port for Seoul, and the senior American naval officer there said his task group was ready to "redeploy" the U.N. forces by sea if necessary. It already was removing South Korean civilians.
Front dispatches indicated that the last U.N. units fell back across the Han river in Seoul's southern outskirts and presumably destroyed the city's bridges.
American rear guards protecting the withdrawal battled the Chinese northwest and northeast of Seoul this morning, but there apparently was little fighting in the city itself.
Abandonment of Kimpo airfield, Seoul's main air base on the south bank of the Han was announced by a spokesman for Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Tokyo.
He said that the air force had evacuated all its equipment, supplies and personnel successfully Permanent installations were destroyed. There was no immediate word whether the Chinese had occupied the field, but it was theirs for the taking.
Censorship prevented speculation where the 9th army will make its next stand. After Seoul fell to the North Korean communists last June 28, the South Koreans hailed their retreat briefly on the south bank of the Han river.
But last summer the Reds were forced to rebuild bridges and cross the river in boats under fire. This time, they can cross over ice.
A communist thrust through Wonju toward either the west or south coasts would pin 100,000 to 150,000 8th army troops below Seou against the sea and raise the prospect of a new "Dunkerque" evacuation.
Rear Admiral L. A. Thackery, senior American naval officer in the Allied fleet off the west coast of Korea, said his task group was ready to "redeploy" U.N. force by sea if necessary.
Thackery's heavy cruiser "Rocheter" already was pounding Chinese troop formations in the Seoul are with its 8-inch guns.
Also standing by offshore fro Inchon, the port for Seoul and miles west of it on the south bar of the Han river, are destroyers and cruisers from the United State Britain, Canada, Australia, and i Netherlands.
