Industry Man Speaks To SAM
Money isn't everything, Thomas M. Hutsell told members of the Society for the Advancement of Management Wednesday at a banquet honoring graduating seniors.
Mr. Hutsell, training manager of the Kansas City branch of the Western Auto Supply Company, spoke about the "Non-Financial Incentives" in job holding. There are two kinds of wages, financial and mental, he said. Financial wages in many cases is not the most important thing, although livable standards plus some savings are necessary before the effect and benefit of non-financial wages can be appreciated.
He also predicted that social work
workers' jobs will be the
greaters of tomorrow.

Campus Issues Are Discussed
The purpose of the conference, which is sponsored by Mortar Board and Sachem, is to discuss problems of students and faculty, and to find solutions to them. Any University student or teacher may suggest problems to one of the sponsoring organizations. Students interested in attending the conference as delegates should notify the planning committee at their next meeting, Thursday, Feb. 3.

A representative group of approximately 150 delegates will be selected from the students to attend the conference. The topics chosen for discussion will be divided into seven or eight panels. The general assembly in the afternoon will be open to any University student or faculty member.
Students Can Forget Finals At Hayseed Hop
It's guaranteed that you will forget all about finals for three entertainment-filled hours at the "Hayseed Hop" from 9 p.m. until midnight Saturday in the Military Science building.
"Lafe and his Silo Boys" will get the entertainment off to a quick start with their farmhouse antics during the first minutes of the dance.
Dress will be informal. Tickets will be sold today and tomorrow in the lobby of Frank Strong hall; in the Student Union activities office in the Union; and at the dance Saturday. Admission will be $1 a couple.
Charles O'Connor and his all-student band will pause between dance numbers during the first 20 minutes of the dance while skits are presented by Student Union activity members. "Lafe," better known as Dean Banker, business junior, will double as "Paw" during intermission to act as master of ceremonies. A brief course in basic German will be taught—the easy way with pictures —by "paw's" enlightened "son."

His successor on the court will be appointed by members of the School of Law faculty. The six associate justices are appointed by the All-Student council.
28 Students Hurt In Accidents On Ice
Seven more students were admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital Wednesday, many as a result of the dare-devil tactics used on the icy campus. Twenty-one other students were treated and released.
Reviews Years Of Social Gain
Gains in British social legislation in the past half-century were explained Wednesday to 300 students and faculty in Frank Strong auditorium by Britain's first woman cabinet minister, Miss Margaret Bondfield. She was minister of labor in 1929.
On her second good-will lecture tour of this country for the British labor government, "Our Maggie," as she is known at home, gave a sevenpoint talk on the "New Age of Social Security in Britain." Miss Bondfield. 75, visited the University during the war to explain the Beveridge plan.
Eleven of the students treated Wednesday received injuries from fall on the ice. Four received injuries while sliding down hills, four while skat-
Beginning with workmen's disability compensation which she helped push through the House of Commons in 1899. Miss Bondfield briearly traced the recent rise of English labor unions to political power. Family endowments, old-age pensions. England's present labor shortage, the unions' fight against "sweating wages," national health and unemployment insurance, and social re-adjustment problems also were discussed by the speaker.
Miss Bondfield showed a strong feminist viewpoint. Her discussion of the labor shortage in England was confined to the part played by war-weary mothers in Britain's attempt to survive bankruptcy and get back to a normal, peace-time footing.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott introduced the short, white-haired English woman. She was dressed in a black-and-white costume which reminded the audience of Britain's "austerity drive."
Baldwin Favors Sound Defense Policy But Warns Against 'Absolute Security'
"The United States must work for a sound policy of military defense for security today but must not chase the will-of-the wisp of absolute security." This was the advice of Hanson Baldwin, military editor of the New York Times at the convocation in Hoch auditorium today.
Introduced by Chancellor Deane W. Malott as the speaker on the 100th
Introduced by Chancellor Debe anniversary of the founding of the American Society for the Advancement of Science, the tall, distinguished journalist spoke on "Security in the Atomic Age."
"Reconciling security with freedom is the urgent problem facing us today," he said. "We face the dilemma of great military preparedness without becoming a garrison state. We must not try for absolute security. The traff of history is littered with the bones of countries who have tried it."
"For that reason, we must be able to hit any attacker harder than he can hit us. Only then will this country attain security," he said.
"Yet we must be able to mobilize instantly. The United States today has 'live' frontiers, something we have never had before. The world has shrunk.
Mr. Baldwin then listed the mass-destruction weapons of modern warfare.
perfect. Eventually it will be a weapon which could be quickly spread by air.
"Biological warfare, while not practical even for the destruction of crops and animals, is theoretically
"First there is the atom bomb. While it is possible to make the bomb which hit Nagasaki in 1945, a thousand times more powerful, it is scientifically practical to increase its size only two to five times.
Radio-active dust and gases, biological warfare, super-speed carriers of destruction such as the V-2 rocket, supersonic airplanes, and the snorkel submarine were the other weapons listed by Mr. Baldwin.
The 1942 Pulitzgr prize winner contended that the effect of these new weapons is to bring the United States closer to the rest of the world. This country now occupies the same "insular" position which England occupied before the war, he said.
He said the atomic bomb's chief limitations were the number of bombs a nation can stockpile because of the expensiveness and scarcity of processing Uranium-235.
He stated the need of a top-notch research and development program. Second-best weapons are useless in this atomic era, he said.
"A deadly rain of dew carrying radio-active gases and dusts could make an area uninhabitable for long periods of time.
Mr. Baldwin said that in the immediate future the draft should be continued but a close watch kept on the military to keep this country from becoming a garrison state.
"While we must have an ever ready striking force, it should be a highly trained, well equipped but small professional army."
The military affairs expert admitted that while he was approaching the subject of security from the military standpoint, the problem was also economic, political, and psychological.
"We must sell our way of life. If Europe goes Communistic, there will be war," he concluded.

The ice sheet on the campus has kept a large part of the buildings and grounds force busy with snow removal equipment this week.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the buildings and grounds, said today that two new sweepers mounted on tractors were successful in clearing sidewalks before the sleet became a solid mass of ice.
Graders and loaders are being used to load the ice into trucks.
There has been no storm damage to the buildings but the frozen gutters and ice sheets on roofs will cause many roof leaks when the ice thaws, Mr. Bayles said. All campus streets are usable, although police have closed 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th streets on the east slope of the hill.
The highway patrol reports that east-west highways in Kansas are in good shape for driving but those south of this area are still covered with a thin film of ice.
Busses have maintained their usual schedule today, according to the Lawrence bus depot.
