New K-State Head Named By Regents
Topeka, Kan., May 23—(U.P.)-Dr. James A. McCain, 42, president of Montana State University at Missoula, today was named president of Kansas State college in Manhattan.
Dr. McCain, whose appointment to the $13,500 a year job was announced by the Kansas board of regents, will succeed Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower July 1. President Eisenhower is going to Pennsylvania State college after seven years at the Kansas school.
The new, young K-State head has been Montana State president since 1945 when he was released from active navy duty as a lieutenant commander. Before entering the service in 1942, he had been on the staff of Colorado A. and M. college, Fort Collins.
Dr. Cain said he was deeply honored to be selected Kansas State president.
"I shall work untimely to merit the confidence shown by the board of regents," he told Hubert Brighton, board secretary. "The reputation of Kansas State college as one of the nation's greatest land-grant institutions is well known to me, as is President Eisenhower's record of magnificent leadership.
"I shall endeavor, with assistance from the faculty, students and people of Kansas to carry on in this splendid tradition."
Dr. McCain is a native of Spartanburg, S. C., where he received his bachelor's degree at Wofford College. Dr. Eisenhower described President McCain's selection as "great news for all Kansans and all friends of K-State. He is an educator and administrator of proved merit. He has a land-grant college background, is young, vigorous, and progressive. I am immensely pleased that I shall be able to turn my duties to him."
John Maxon, director of the University Museum of Art, said K.U. will be one of the few universities in the Mid-West to have a museum organ. Maxon plans to have organ retails twice a month in Spooner-Thayer next fall or early winter. The organ is now being tuned, and space will be provided for it in the museum.
The organ was purchased from St. John's Episcopal church in Abilene, Kan., the church Chancellor Malott once attended. The museum has been looking for an organ for many years.
An ardent football fan, according to Mr. Brighton, Dr. McCain came to Kansas yesterday and met the last two members of the board of regents he had not previously been introduced to.
Spooner-Thayer museum has acquired a pipe organ which will be used to give organ recitals for the public next fall.
It was in 1929 that he went to Colorado A. and M, the year he received a master's degree from Duke university.
The new K-State president is a member of the National Council of Boy Scouts of America, member of Rotary International, the American Psychological association, Pi Delta Epsilon, journalism honorary; Iota Lambda Sigma, industrial educationation honorary; and Sigma Upsilon, literary honorary. He is author of many articles for educational, farm and industrial journals.
Mrs. McCain is the former Janet Henry of Fort Collins, The McCains have one daughter, Sheila, 5. They are members of the Methodist church.

Lie Advocates UN Peace Plan Big Four Meet
London, May 23 (U.P.)—Trygve Lie, United National secretary general, confers today with British leaders on a 10-point, 20-year peace program calling for an early Big Four meeting, diplomatic sources said today.
Lie arrived early today from Paris, where he conferred with Premier Georges Bidault and Robert Schuman, French foreign minister, after spending 90 minutes with Premier Josef Stalin in Moscow in the past week.
Later in the day he will hold meetings here with Prime Minister Clement Attlee, British Prime Minister, and Ernest Bevin, foreign secretary. Wednesday night he will fly to the United States to see President Truman and Dean Acheson, U.S. secretary of state.
Diplomatic sources said Lie laid his 10-point plan before all Big Four leaders on his first meeting with each and now is seeking the West's reaction to Stalin's ideas.
United Nations sources said one of Lie's main points calls for an early meeting among President Truman, a fellow member of the United Nations, and framework of the United Nations.
He also was understood to have proposed calling a "peace session" of the United Nations security council at Geneva this summer and admission of the Chinese Communist regime to the U.N.
Shortly thereafter he was received in the Kremlin by Stalin for a visit lasting an hour and a half. Lie said that he was appalled with Stalin's reception
These were among the proposals Lie presented to Andrei Vishinsky, Sir Stephen minister, when he arrived in London, a conclusion of his first round of visits.
Reports from France indicated that Lie may have received more encouragement from the Soviet leader than he indicated. Robert Schuman, French foreign minister, commented that he had found Lie "has become an optimist again" as a result of his Moscow visit.
In his talks for peace, Lie was understood to have pressed hardest for his plan to hold a special "peace ses-sion" on January 21st in the Security council in Europe this summer.
Prime requisite for such a session is a solution of the question of Chinese Communist recognition. Agreement must be found on a method of face save before Russia can end her 18-week boycott of the U.N.

Most KU Women Plan Careers
Out of 11 women interviewed nine plan to go into professional work, according to a spot check made recently on the campus. Only one admitted that she 'came to school in the first semester' and interviewers agreed that the choice of seeking a career or marriage was up to the individual woman.
Jenny-Lea McGowan, fine arts junior, said, "I want to go into medical art. I didn't come to school to get married, but I feel a woman should plan for a career as well as marriage. In case of the death of her husband a woman has to be able to take over."
Claribel Markeson, College sophomore, "hopes not to go into professional work." She said, "I didn't come to the University to get married—necessarily. I think a woman should do whatever she's suited for."
"Yes, I'm going into professional work when I receive my degree and I'm not here to get married," said Elaine Blaylock, College sophomore. "I don't see how you could make a

generalized statement as to whether a woman should seek a career or marriage. It depends on the circumstances and the person."
Molly Kelly, College junior, plans to go into teaching. "I came to school to get an education for teaching," she said. "Whether a woman seeks a career or marriage depends on the woman. Some are happier married, some are happier in a career, and some can combine the two."
"Yes, I do plan to go into professional work." Mary Ruthene Baker, pharmacy sophomore, said. "I didn't come to school to get married, but probably the most important. However, if a woman wants a career, she should not get married because she two don't mix."
Barbara Sells, College sophomore,
doesn't plan to go into professional work and didn't come to school to get married. "It depends entirely on the woman as to whether she should seek a career or marriage," she said. "The question cannot be answered yes or no because it depends on the individual."
Louise Sanborn, education junior, is "going to college to become a school teacher." She said, "I didn't come to school to get married, but I would certainly like to. I think a woman should get married, but I believe she should have a career to go into if she doesn't."
"I plan to be a medical technician," said Ruth Williams, College junior. She said, "I came to school to get an education and to get a man. A woman should seek a career in marriage."
Nursing will be the profession of Doris Kendall, College sophomore. She did not come to school to get married. Deciding between marriage or a career "depends on the individual person."
