Atomic Bomb Used As Hammer 'Russia'Says
The United States is using the atomic bomb as a hammer over the heads of other countries, accused Edward Stollenwerck, head of the Russian delegation, in the mock United Nations conference held April 30 at the University.
He made the charge in a discussion concerning establishment of an international Atomic Development authority to investigate and control all sources and processing of fissionable materials.
John Eberhart, Turke delegate supported the U. S. policy. He said that his country and other small nations fear Russia and therefore oppose giving atomic energy secrets to Russia until an investigating authority is established.
The amendment was defeated but the resolution was adopted by a 12 to 11 vote with 10 countries abstaining.
"The United States is interested only in world peace" and the "delegates should realize the words of the Russian delegate are just words," countered Ernest Friesen, chief U.S. delegate.
Stolenwercck said "his country" opposes free investigation because it would "impair Russian sovereignty." He moved the resolution be amended to allow only scheduled investigation and that the U.S. destroy its atomic bomb stockpile within 90 days.
Richard Menuet, a second Russian delegate, attempted to read a prepared speech but was challenged by Judy as acting contrarv to accepted rules of the conference. A voice vote upheld the challenge. Menuet said he was "instructed by the foreign office" to read the speech.
Stolenwerck accused the delegates of refusing to cooperate. He said the U.S. had insisted on the veto clause and has used the power 27 times but would not allow Russia the same rights.
Friesen reminded the conference that no effort had been made by Russia to compromise. "In the absence of definite criticism, the U.S. votes for the original resolution," he exclaimed.
The first of two Russian proposals approved during the conference was then made by Stollenwerck. He ordered the conference recess for 10 minutes.
An amendment to a resolution for reporting the disposition and amount of a nation's armed forces to a Disarmament commission made by the India delegate to the United Nations warlike measures for atomic energy must be abolished."
fired Six, chief delegate from China, explained his vote of 'no' on the amendment by pointing out that it means for producing atomic bombs.
The vote was held after Friesen proposed a proposal be tabulated for consideration.
A second amendment, made by Gene Balloun, Saudi Arabian delegate, to additionally define disarmament as "the number of troops to be just sufficient for an international police force" was approved by a 11 to 10 vote.
Stolenwerck asked why the Atlantic Pact was made if the U.S. is actually interested in disarmament.
Friesen explained the Atlantic Pact as a defense against any possible aggression. He returned the challenge by asking "why is Russia maintaining a large army if war is not considered?"
"The U.S.S.R. has only a token police force to maintain law and order." Stollenwerck answered.
Gladys Swarthout, soprano star of opera and radio, will make her fourth appearance at the University at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, in Hoch auditorium. Miss Swarthout is one of the nationally known artists who will appear during the Music Week festival.
Men Will Try Ignoring Women During Proposed 'Stag Week'
Any man caught walking with, looking at, talking to, in general associating with, or contacting any coed will be thrown into Potter lake. That will be the penalty for associating with the fairer sex during "stag week."
From Wednesday, May 11 through 3 p.m. Friday, May 13, men students will observe stag week.
"The week has no deep purpose unless it could be a protest against present dating conditions," explained William Roehl, engineering junior and social chairman of the Inter-Fraternity council, one of the sponsoring organizations.
All men's organizations will be contacted with regards to participating in the event. Organizations which are taking part in the activities are Men's Inter-Dorm council, Negro Student association, and the KuKu's.
The rules says that no man may telephone, have dates, talk to, ride
with, or have any other contacts with the coeds. Members of the sponsoring organizations will patrol the campus, and all violators of the rules will be taken on a trip to Potter lake.
Reohl urged that all men should co-operate to make the event a success. "If one man talks to a girl, the whole affair will lose the effect we want to create."
In addition to the no dates policy, men are asked not to shave, and to wear old, dirty clothes to class.

The American government is trapped between two demands for security, Doris Fleeson. Washington correspondent and K.U. graduate, told approximately 400 women at a Theta Sigma Phi banquet Friday.
She explained that the two demands are the greater security for the American people in the private lives and greater security from foreign demands.
The banquet was given by the Kansas City, Mo., alumna chapter in Kansas City to celebrate Theta Sigma Phi's 40th anniversary. The national organization is a professional and honorary fraternity for women in journalism. Chapters from several cities attended, including the University Epsilon chapter.
Prior to the dinner, Miss Fleeson was initiated as an associate member of the Epsilon chapter.
The Kansas City group honored 10 women for work done in the fields of business, civic service, public service, single service, education, current articles, poetry, literature, floriculture, and mathematics.
Katherine Maynes, Missouri graduate, was awarded a $250 scholarship to continue her work in the editorial and public relations department at Columbia university in New York.

Statesmen's Traits Shown In Mock UN
By JOHN S. HILL
With an air of professionality, the fourth annual University mock United Nations session opened April 30. The 40 delegates, representing 28 countries ran the meeting as well as the official delegates at Lake Success. N.Y.
The atmosphere
Edward Stollenwerek, College junior, opened the session with an address to the delegates. He then gave the gavel to Robert Bennett, College junior, and assumed leadership of the Russian delegation, as William Conboy, his scheduled leader, had to leave for Topeka on business.
The atmosphere in Fraser theater was sultry and oppressive when Edward Stolenwerck. College iun-⓪
Opposition to the measure was offered by Stolenwerck, who was roundly hissed when he arose. He spoke vehemently against the United States, and made a good portrayal of a Gromyko-like statesman.
Ernest Friesen, College junior, who was chief delegate of the United States' group, made the opening address. He spoke for the majority resolution on the issue of world disarmments and control of atomic powers. Friesen spoke with his left hand in his trousers pocket—occasionally jingling change. He took the position whenever he spoke.
Bennett, acting as chairman, leaned on the rostrum and rubbed his
nose with the gavel while he viewed the proceedings. The delegates were seated before him, occupying the first ten rows of the main floor of Fraser theater. Bennett ruled impartially and with a show of parliamentary knowledge.
The way the session was to go was indicated in the role call. The spokesman for each country answered in that country's language. When it came to Russia, Stollenwerck voiced "veto."
Aliotti received applause from the delegates when he asked the delegations of the United States and
Observers could tell how well the session was going by the way Aldo Allotti, graduate student, who represented Italy, held his unlit pipe. If it was clenched between his teeth, Russia held the upper hand, or was battling for its views. If his pipe was toyed with in his hands, the western powers were in charge.
Russia to give the difference in numbers of troops during the war and the year following. Friesen answered from eight million to less than one million. Stollenweck said that he doubted the United State's facts, and said that Russia had no troops at present.
"We have only a token police force," he said.
The Egyptian delegation added color to the session when five of their group—one man and four women—walked in wearing costumes of their country. The white robes looked pleasingly cool to the remaining male delegates, most of them wearing coats and ties. The only delegate to remove his coat during the proceedings was one from Costa Rica.
The walkout of Soviet Russia, which Phillip Carlson, College junior and mock UN planning official, said would come about 3:15 p.m. was made in the form of a motion for dismissal by Stollenwerck. He voiced disapproval of the "capitallistic form this meeting has taken," and added that "nothing can be done here." The meeting was adjourned as peals of thunder rang out overhead.

The University chorus of 225 voices and Symphony orchestra blended unusually well in the impressive rendition of the "Requiem" in Hoch auditorium. The chorus was effective in its volume control. The "Requiem" consists of seven parts, including solos which highlighted Sunday's performance.
"Ye Now Are Sorrowful" was sung by Mrs. Marie Wilkins, instructor of voice. Her part was a soprano obligato with the choir. It was made even more beautiful by her phrasing and the amazing volume of her voice.
"Lord Make Me To Know" was sung by Reinhold Schmidt, bass-baritone. His voice is deep, but even the lowest tones were clear and well controlled.
Five special programs will be presented by KFKU this week during the 47th anniversary of Music Week.
A descriptive number was "An Appalachian Spring" (Copland) played by the University Symphony orchestra, directed by Russell L. Wiley, associate professor of band. Instruments and modern harmonies were combined to describe the bubbling water of a spring. The trumpet, violin, and flute sections were good in this selection.
Another religious number was "The Peaceable Kingdom" (Thompson), a choral work in seven parks. It is the words from the prophesy of Isaiah set to music.
The choir's enunciation was outstanding in the second chorus.
"For Ye Shall Go Out With Joy," part six, was unusual and pleasing with its effect of continuous chanting.
KFKU Plans 5 Musicales
The first program will be at 9:30 p.m. today when Larry Edward, moderator of "Brainbusters" will quiz Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, professor of music education; Emil Telfel, assistant professor of journalism; and Orville Roberts, instructor in speech, on a series of music questions.
At 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Miss Friedelade Wagner, granddaughter of Rich warden Wagner, will speak on "Heritage of Fre" and Dr. Paul Dengler, professor of education at the University of Kansas City, will explain "What Art Can Mean to a People in Distress.
At 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, "Symphonie Favorites" will present the "Appalachian Suite" (Aaron Copeland). The selection will be played by the University Symphony orchestra.
"Peaceable Kingdom" (Randall Thompson) will be sung by the University A Choir at 2:30 Wednesday. "by Brahms, sung by the Festival Chorus will be heard on "Sharps and Flats" at 9:30 am.
