Court Reverses Police Decision For Student
The student court reversed a decision handed down by the campus police for parking violations for one University student and affirmed the police decision for another student Tuesday.
Eddie V. Bales, College freshman,
to chief justice Don Lysaught that
he did not know that he was ilegally parked behind Snow hall in zone A and that he saw no sign designating the boundaries of the zone. The court judged Bales not guilty.
Samuel Epstein, engineering sophomore, did not appear in court and thereby lost his right to appeal his case.
Arthur G. Hoffman, College senior, was judged guilty as charged on illegal parking in a visitor's zone.
This was the last session of the Student court for this semester. The court will convene again in the early part of the summer session to hear appeals of University students who feel that they have been treated unjustly in parking violations and speeding.
Groups File '49-'50Names
lill campus organizations must file of the names of their officers for 1949-50 with the dean of men immediately if the groups wish to be included in the student directory next fall.
"All organizations must file this week," Donald K. Alderson, assistant dean of men said. "This will enable us to know who is responsible for an organization in case we need them to do something. It makes the directory easier to print, and it enables us to know to whom to go for facts."
He added that if an organization is late in filing its officers, it may miss having the names of their officers in the directory. The request for the names this week is to avoid such a condition next fall.
Parrish Wins $100 Award
Robert Parrish, business junior, has won the $100 award offered by the School of Business, Leonard H Axe, dean, announced today. The award was made for the first time this year.

Chairman of the selection committee was Wiley Mitchell, assistant professor of economics. Assisting him were Joe Scoggin, economics instructor; Loda Newcomb, assistant professor of secretarial training; Paul McCollum, economics instructor; Frank Pinet, economics instructor; Park Pennington and Ajas Kaier, business seniors.
The award was set up as an incentive for students in the School of Business to contribute to the development and following of Business School association ideals, Dean Axe said.
UDK Will Appear Again Tomorrow

Medical School Begins In June
Eighty of the 100 students accepted for the 1949 freshman class in the University of Kansas School of Medicine will begin work in June instead of September.
Franklin D. Murphy, dean of the school, said Tuesday that year-around operation here became necessary when the freshman class was increased from 80 to 100 students. Facilities at Lawrence can accommodate only 80 medical,students without a reduction in standards.
A schedule of staggered vacations has been prepared so that four groups of 20 students each will be sent to the semester and each summer session.
The freshman class of 1949 will continue this arrangement until February 1951 when the entire class will transfer to the medical center in Kansas City. One group which will prepare for service work in August of 1950 will not remain Kansas City until the following February, according to present plans.
The new Lawrence schedule is not a change to the four-quarter system in effect at the Medical center the past year, Dean Murphy said. It will allow freshman class which will take its third semester here next fall. In place of two summer vacations some students will have the fall or spring semester off.
The program is made possible only through the expanded operating budget voted by the 1949 Kansas legislature, the dean said.
Western Powers Turn Back Reds At Conference
Paris, May 25—(U.P.)The way appeared clear today for the Western Powers to seize the initiative from Russia and offer Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky a settlement of the German problem on Western terms.
This possibility opened up during Tuesday's session when U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, backed by Britain and France, formally rejected a Russian proposal to return to the Potsdam agreement on Germany.
This decision marked a milestone in the history of the German controversy. By it the Western Powers formally discarded the Potsdam theory of four-power control through the Allied Control Council, which collapsed more than a year ago when Russia walked out.
They also rejected a long-standing Russian demand for a voice in the management of the great industrial Ruhr in Western Germany.
The general line of Western policy will be:
1. A United Germany still is desirable and possible if Russia will permit East Germany to join the project for creation of a West German government.
2. It is useless to talk about a return to the old system of fourpower control of Germany and Berlin. It has never worked since the end of the war.
3. The Western Powers never will agree to give Russia a foothold in the Ruhr.
4. Russia's proposal for an all-German State council would bypass the Bonn constitution and the West German state. The United States, Britain and France will not agree to such a maneuver.

Hollands To Retire After 35 Years
Dr. Edmund H. Hollands, professor of philosophy, will end 35 years teaching at the University when he retires in June.
"The name of Edmund Hollands has always been synonymous to me with courtesy, culture, and learning," said Dr. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College. "His influence has always been toward high standards of scholarship."
"I plan to do some writing," said Dr. Hollands. "I have started on a field of thought; and if what I write seems to contribute anything to philosophy, I will have it published."
Dr. Hollands came to the University as chairman of the philosophy department in the summer of 1913. In the fall semester of 1946, Dr. C. P. Osborne, professor of philosophy, succeeded him.
Dr. Hollands estimates that he has taught approximately 3,600 students while at the University. He believes the main difficulty stu- derate in an elementary philo- philosophy course is learning to think inwardly.
Dr. Hollands was one of the first signers when the American Association of University Professors was founded in New York in 1915. When he returned to the University, he and eight other professors formed a local chapter. He is the only charter member still on the University staff.
"They are just not accustomed to asking themselves 'what does this thought or this word mean?' " he explained.

City Approves School Bonds
Posters To Tell Of Last Jayhawker
A bond issue of $1,820,000 for a new senior high school was approved by Lawrence voters in a city election Tuesday. The vote was 3,840 for and 1,115 against.
The bonds, to be issued by the Lawrence board of education, will raise to $2,600,000 the amount available for the new school. Voters previously approved an issue totaling $800,000.
The point of the election, said A. E. Moestemeyer, clerk of the board of education, is to have a new senior high so the present senior high school can be used for the junior high school. The three old buildings, at 10th and Kentucky streets, can then be vacated, he said.
Harold Fisher, city clerk, said the vote was "fairly heavy for a city election." He gave the figures on the second and third wards, where the majority of University students were voting, he said, was 792 for and 178 against. The third ward was 1,111 for and 202 against.
"The bond issue also allows $200-100 for additions to Cordley elementary school, a borough and Vermont street, and a few letters to the senior high school.
