'Safe' Democrats To Help Govern East Germany
Berlin, Oct 11—(U.P.)The Communists gave the presidency of the upper chamber of their East German Parliament to a Christian Democrat today as part of the "window dressing" for their new government.
The post went to Reinhold Lobedanz, 61. Another non-Communist, Liberal Democrat Johannes Dieckmann, already has been elected to the presidency of the people's chamber, lower chamber of the parliament.
Both Lobedanz and Dieckmann, however, are considered "safe" by the Communists. They supported Communist plans for establishment of the Eastern state and are members of the Communist-dominated National Front in the Soviet zone.
Their selection was interpreted in Western circles as a Communist maneuver to give the impression that the new East German government is broadly based and supported by all political factions.
The upper and lower houses met jointly for the first time after the Soviets promised to surrender "administrative functions" in Eastern Germany to the new state.

Miss Hazel Anderson, instructor in law, was elected chairman Saturday of the South Central conference of the Business and Professional Women's clubs at Hot Springs, Ark.

Miss Anderson is also the state president of the Kansas Federation of the Business and Professional Women's clubs. She presides over a membership of approximately 6,500.
A graduate of the University School of Law, Miss Anderson now teaches Legal Bibliography and is law librarian.

KU, K-State Readopt Pact For 19th Year
The 18-year-old peace pact between student bodies of the University and Kansas State college was readopted on the Monday "friendship dinner" in Manhattan night
The peace pact was drawn up in 1931 after both campuses were damaged in pre-game activities. The traditional friendship dinner is held alternately in Lawrence and Manhattan to revise and sign the pact. A trophy, shaped as a miniature goal post, is kept by each year's winner of the K.U.-Kansas State football game. The University has had it since 1945.
Ten members of the All Student Council and a faculty advisor were guests of the K-State student council at a dinner meeting in the Wareham hotel. After signing the pact the group discussed improving relations between the two schools.
Purpose of the paet is to safeguard the welfare of the students, protect property of both schools and townspeople, insure peaceful relations between the schools, and to abolish all school fights and undesirable pre-rame activities.
Attending the meeting were Ernest C. Friesen, A.S.C. president; Lisa Florence Black, Council advisor; and the following representatives:
Any damage done by members of either student body is paid for by the student council of the offending school. When several K-State students did $50 worth of damage to the University campus last year, the offenders paid for it through their student council.
Wilma Shore, Robert Bennett,
Donald Giffin, Donna Heller, Janice
Horn, Mabel Conderman, Mary
Helen Baker, Walter Brown, and
Melvin Clingan.
