Norway Snubs Russian Offer; Wants In Pact
Oslo, March 4—(U.P.) The Norwegian government, with the overwhelming support of parliament, rejected a proposed non-aggression treaty with Russia today and decided to join discussions on the proposed Atlantic paet.
A Norwegian delegation was expected to leave for Washington within 10 days to join the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg in discussing the proposed pact.
The government announced that a secret session of parliament which was held Thursday approved the twin decision by a vote of 118 to 11, with only 11 Communist members objecting.
Norway then explained its position to Russia in a firm note rejecting Russia's request for a non-aggression pact, which was made Feb. 5. The note was handed to the Soviet ambassador.
The Norwegian note informed Russia that Norway:
1. Intends to take part in discussions for a "mutually binding agreement built on the principle of solidarity and collective security."
2. "Desires to reiterate most categorically that it neither will take part in a policy with aggressive aims nor will it grant bases for foreign military forces on Norwegian territory so long as Norway is not attacked or subject to threats of attack."
3. Wants to preserve and strengthen the good neighbor relations between Norway and Russia.
Fails to see the need of a nonaggression pact with Russia because both countries, as members of the United Nations, are pledged not to use force.
'The' Professor Quiz Hates These King-Sized Jackpots
New York—(U.P.)—The man who had the first coast-to-coast radio quiz program is asking himself a $64 question these days. Whose idea was the whole thing anyway?
Professor Quiz, Craig Earl, would be tempted to throw in the question book if he didn't have close to a million questions filed away which would go to waste. He doesn't like quiz shows any more.
"They give away too much for too little," he said moodily twirling his tiny mustache with the waxed ends.
The professor is a chubby, ordinarily cheerful man who was a physician and a professional magician before he went on the air as a quizmaster. Now he rarely ever uses his real name, and even refers to his wife as "Mrs. Quiz."
He longs for the good old days when a $25 first prize had contestants bug-eyed. He went on the air with his show 12 years ago. Since then, he says with solemn pride, he never has given away an answer or a giant jackpot.
For six years he got along with that $25 first prize, then somebody upped the ante. The battle of wits, he said, became a battle of washing machines. And worst of all, the quizmasters started dropping liberal hints.
Professor Quiz isn't optimistic about the future of quiz shows. As a former lecturer on "The Art of Living," he feels the giant jackpots violate the rules of gracious living.
"I can't imagine anyone having fun answering a question where a house and a car are involved," he said. "You'd hate yourself for life if you missed the answer."
There are only two bright spots, as the professor sees it, left in quizmastering. One is his deep admiration of the housewife contestant.
"Housewives are loaded with the kind of unrelated facts that come up on quiz shows." he said. The other bright spot in his work which he admitted grudgingly, was the enjoyment the radio audience got out of following the big money jackpots "
"It's like kibiting a crab game, he murmured disapprovingly.
Still a great agricultural state, South Carolina is becoming heavily industrialized. Seventy per cent of its manufactures are in textiles. Its minerals include phosphate rock, granite, gold, silver, manganese, iron ore, lime and monazite. Turpentine is an abundant product.
Sees No Change In ROTC Units
The proposal for using the draft law to boost national guard and army reserve units to more than a million men will have little effect on the R.O.T.C. program, Col. John Alfrey, professor of military science, said Thursday.
The proposal was made by a civilian-military study committee who said "our full strength must be maintained to preserve the peace of the world." James F. Byrnes, former secretary of state and supreme court justice, heads the committee.
"I can't see how it will effect the R.O.T.C. unit in any way." Colonel Alfrey said. "The students exempt from the draft because of R.O.T.C. standing will still be exempt from reserve unit calls."
Colonel Alfrey does not agree with the committee on the benefits of the proposed program. He said that he seriously doubts the effectiveness of such a program. He believes that a day of training once a week, even for five years, would not be as complete as six months of regular training.
"The program would do nothing but give us a lot of men on paper, resulting in a false sense of security," Colonel Alfrey added.
Washington college, at Washington College, Tenn., was the first institution of higher learning established west of the Alleghenies.
Hereafter couples will pay 35 cents to attend Palm room dances when music is that of a nickelodeon. The necessity of such a charge is to help cover the expense of presenting a band once each six weeks.
Jeanne Peterson, College junior, who was instrumental in making the night club possible, said, "Saturday is the big night. Student response to the plan will justify our work in making a recreation center a reality."
Band To Give Concerts In Three Kansas Cities
even when an informal air will reign through out the evening. The fountain will be open for self-service. Cover charge will be 50 cents, but each organized house has received complimentary tickets for one member.
The University concert band will make a concert tour Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22, Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, announced Thursday.
During the two day trip the band will present concerts in Concordia, Clay Center, and Wamego. Each year these towns invite bands to give special concerts.
Robert Cooper and his orchestra are to be featured on the opening night. A 15-minute intermission program has been planned with Dick Bugler, business senior, acting as master of ceremonies.
The grand opening of the Palm room night club will be from 9 to 12 p.m. tomorrow, Evans J. Francis, president of Student Union activities, has announced.
Dick Hartzler, engineering senior, will sing with Leonard Beck, engineering junior, accompanist. The Sigma Chi quintet will present several numbers. Official host for the evening is Gair Sloan.

Sarge Rises Early To Sleep And Eat
Phone 524
For some students 8 a.m. rolls around awfully early, and these same scholars would never be up that early unless they were duty-bound by class.
However, one enthusiastic early-riser makes it to class without compulsion. Sarge, the Sigma Nu dog, has gone all out for early morning geology labs.
Promptly at 8 a.m. he trots into the lab at 102 Lindley, apparently ready for work. But he too, like many others in the class, takes time off for a short snooze—in Sarge's case, however, the nap almost lasts through the two class hours. Sarge, treated like a king, sleeps under a student's coat on on nippy days. When he takes a break, he wears the coat with the sleeves tied around his middle.
Sarge is a poor student in more ways than one. He has an appetite for the minerals which are studied in class. If his appetite grows, the geology department may have to invest in more mineral specimens.
Visitors welcome.
