Law Students Should Face Red Challenge, Wedell Says
All students, especially law students, should face the challenge of communism in America, Hugo T. Wedell, Kansas supreme court justice, said Tuesday at the Burdick dinner.
The justice cited as danger signals the recent pledging of loyalty to Russia by the leading communists in New York.
"We should be prepared in our spiritual life and in our thinking for the battle against the march of communism. We must organize our armies of clear thoughts."
Hugo T. Wedell
William R. Kelley, and Aubrey J. Bradley, Jr., third year law students, were presented the moot court award. Carl Slough, associate professor of law, made the presentation Payne H. Ratner, Jr., and Robert H
"People would appreciate students in colleges, and again, especially law students, to make a show against communism," he said. "This would change the impression in some quarters that colleges and universities are hotbeds of communism."
Justice Wedell said that if the government continues to extend benefits to people who don't deserve them, then such benefits will make the people right for communism.
Royer, second year law students received honorable mention.

ASC Okays $678 In Appropriations
Six appropriations totaling $678.11 were approved by the All Student Council Tuesday. Four recommendations of the finance committee were not changed and two appropriations were increased.
YMCA Hears Meeting Rules
Parliamentary procedure is a "scheme to handle the traffic of ideas which come up within a group," said Dr. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, at the YMCA-Student Union Activities committee Leadership conference Tuesday.
The request from the Associated Women's Students for $200 to be used for purchase of office equipment was increased by the Council to $250
"Parliamentary procedure rests on four great principles," he said. "These principles are: justice and equal rights to all; take one thing at a time, the rule of the majority, the rights of the minority. Without these principles, parliamentary procedure cannot work." added Dr. Buehler.
Dr. Buehler continued by saying that there are three types of parliamentary groups. The first of theses is the conference goup where a sampling of opinion is encouraged. The second group is the problem solving group which follows the techniques of the legislative committee system, and the third group is the business group in which the group is willing to do something by parliamentary procedure.
This was the first of four leadership conferences sponsored by the University Y.M.C.A. and the Student Union Activities committee. The conferences are designed to fulfill the practical needs of student leadership and all interested students are invited to attend, Robert Chesky, president of the Y.M.C.A., said.
The second leadership conference will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Recreation room of the Union building.
"The key to parliamentary procedure is the motion." Dr. Buehler added. "There are four principals types of motions. The main motion, subsidiary motion, incidental motion, and the privileged motion. The best way for a person to learn the methods of parliamentary procedure is to get in a group and practice it. There is no substitute for practice." Dr. Buehler said.
Three-dimension color scenes of 20,000 miles of highways from coast to coast were shown by F. E. Rite of the photographic department, Barber-Greene company, Aurora, Ill.
The pictures included scenes of New York's Broadway, Chicago's Michigan·boulevard, Washington's Pennsylvania avenue. highways through the wheat fields of western Kansas, the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast.
Mr. Rife has traveled over 30,000 miles since the first of October, showing these slides to universities, state legislatures, army and navy engineering officials, and road building concerns.
The University chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers sponsored the showing of the ilms here.
Albert J. Alcott,engineering senior,was elected to represent the civil engineers in the Engineering council at the business meeting of the chapter.
Wilma Shore, A.W.S. representative and College sophomore, introduced the amendment to raise the grant.
Aldo Aliotti, president of the International club, asked for an appropriation of $50 for the club. The finance committee had recommended that none be granted. Aliotti said the International club would use the money for a trip and a Spanish dinner for foreign students.
Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debate society, was granted $100 to send four delegates to the national convention of the organization. The society had requested $185. Professor E. C. Buehler of the speech department answered questions of the Council members concerning activities of the organization.
"Forensic is larger than football," he said. "Will Rogers put K.U. on the map when he gave the school $1,000 to use for debate teams. We are now asking the students to pay part of the expenses."
The need of housing for married couples has again become acute, Mrs. Ruth Nash, secretary of the housing committee, said today.
Four reasons for the appropriation were given by Professor Buchler. The participation of a K.U. team in the West Point debates the past spring; the recent international debate when two Oxford university students came to K.U. for a special debate; the many debates in which members of this school participate; and the intramural speech program were those given.
HousingNeed Grows Acute
Elizabeth Webster, business senior,
requested a public record be made that the granting of the request did not establish a precedent. Theodore Utschen, College junior, had protested the appropriation because "the convention in itself does not aid the students." "Other organizations as Phi Alpha Theta, honorary history fraternity, which also has a national convention would be able to request appropriations from the A.S.C. if Delta Sigma Rho were granted its request," he said.
Requests by couples, with and without children, have been averaging at least four or five a day. This demand for reasonably-priced apartments for the summer and fall terms is expected to climb.
The International Relations club was given $60. The money is to be used for the mock United Nations in April. Y.M.C.A. was awarded $150 for continuance of its program, including camp counseling, leadership training, forums, and other events. A grant of $68.11 was given to the (Continued on Page 5, Column 3)
Rooms for single men and women are plentiful, Mrs. Nash said. A list of available rooms and addresses can be obtained at the housing office, 220, Frank Strong hall.
Persons having apartments or rooms to sub-let for these terms should call Mrs. Nash at K.U. 213.
A few apartments are still available, but most of them have shared kitchen privileges, baths, or some think which makes them undesireable to most couples, she added.
