UN Adjourns With Action On Human Rights
By UNITED PRESS
The United Nations General assembly has ended an $3-day session in Paris, but the U. N. Security council will continue to meet in the French capital at intervals. It will consider Israel's application for U.N. membership at a meeting Wednesday.
Closing on the same note of Russian bitterness against the Western powers on which it opened, the assembly nevertheless had completed action on two documents which may go down in history as of major importance in man's continuing fight for freedom—declarations setting human rights and outlawing slaughter of races.
The U.N. was forced into an extra session yesterday after a Russian flibuster blocked plans to adjourn late Saturday night. In the final meeting, the assembly voted 48 to 6 for an amended American resolution recognizing the government of South Korea, which resulted from unsupervised elections, as the only lawful government in Korea.
Soviet delegate Andrei Vishinsky in his final speech repeated his charges that the United States and Britain are inciting a new war against Russia, called the session in Paris a failure, and said it would go down in history as a meeting which destroyed the work for peace."
And most other delegates saw the solit between Russia and the Western powers—the most important issue in the world today—as no worse now than it was when the assembly met. They noted that there is less war talk now than before the session began, and that no one now expects any immediate collapse of the U.N.
But U.S. delegate John Foster Dulles and British delegate Gordon Walker both said they believed the assembly had accomplished a good deal, and hailed particularly the declarations on human rights and human lives.
The general assembly will convene for the second half of the session which began at Paris about April 1 at Flushing, New York. Plenty of work which was not reached in Paris remains, including the question of disposition of the former Italian colonies.

Oslo University Open To Yanks
The University of Oslo has announced that it will again hold special summer classes for American students from June 27 to Aug. 6. An applicant must have completed his sophomore year by June, 1949, to be eligible.
The courses, to be conducted in English, cover sciences, humanities, and a general survey of Norwegian culture. A maximum of six credits is transferable.
Science courses will be offered in botany, zoology, geology, geography, and geophysics. Humanity courses will include Norwegian history, language, literature, art economics, and political and social sciences.
All students are required to complete the assignments and take examinations in each class in which they enroll, whether they intend to transfer credits or not. The University of Oslo will issue a certificate to each student who satisfactorily completes the summer course.
The University is on the list of foreign institutions approved by the Veterans' administration. Veterans who plan to attend on the G.I. bill should consult the Veterans administration for necessary application blanks.
Approximate expense for the six weeks at the University is estimated to be about $300, and the transportation last year on the "S.S. Marine Jumper" came to $320 to $400 for the round trip.
In addition to afternoon field trips and museum visits, there will be guided week-end excursions to places of scenic and cultural interest.
Applications and a catalog of courses may be obtained by writing to the Oslo summer school administration office. St. Olaf college, Northfield, Minn.
Whether 'tis better to place the potential political power of the Independent Student association under a single banner, or to oppose the merger and sacrifice power—but save the honor of "independence" was the dilemma faced by representatives from the I.S.A., the Independent Women's party, and the Independent Men's party Dec. 9 at a meeting in the Pine room of the Union.
ISA Discusses Political Merger
Most of the representatives agreed that a union would be desirable, but just who should hold the authority proved to be the rub.
The discussion ended with no de-
nite settlement. A re-hearing and
e-thrashing of the matter has been
entitative set for this week.
EVA LE GALLIENNE. American actress, will present a recital of "Scenes from Great Plays," today in Fraser.
The program will include selections from "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet."
Bridge Entries Still Accepted
Entries for the bridge tournament to be held 7 p.m. Wednesday in the recreation room of the Union, will be accepted until Wednesday night. It had been announced previously that Dec. 10 was the deadline for turning in entry blanks. There will be no tournament today as announced.
All bridge partners who wish to enter the tournament should leave entry blanks, listing their names, addresses, and telephone numbers, at the hostess's desk in the Union lobby.
Students must be undergraduates and have a "C" average or better to be eligible for the tournament.
Norman Ellis, president of the fencing club, received this news in a letter received from the athletic department at the University of Colorado.
The Four-No Bridge club is sponsoring the tournament in cooperation with the sports and organizations committee of Student Union activities.
Charles R. Ciston, president of the Four-No Bridge club, said the eight winning players will play winners of other schools in an intercollegiate tournament by mail directed through a national headquarters in New York.
Sixteen winning teams of these games will be eligible to play in a final contest in Chicago. Two players will represent each zone, so two University of Kansas players will have an opportunity to get on this team.
Each zone is represented by 45 colleges and universities. The finalists in the tournament by mail will be given an all-expense paid trip to Chicago for the final tournament.
John H. Giele, fencing coach at the University of Colorado, said that the Buffalo fencing team will meet the K.U. fencing team as soon as the match can be arranged.
Fencers To Get Colorado Match
Mr. Ellis said that he would write to determine the exact date of the match. He also said that he hoped that in the future that fencing would become a Big Seven varsity sport.
LINDLEY'S KANSAS CLEANERS
Washington, Dec. 13—(UP) — Harry S. Truman will be formally elected today as next president of the United States.
The official ballots, confirming what the voting public decided at the polls Nov. 2, will be cast by the 531 presidential electors meeting in the 48 state capitals.
There wasn't any chance of red faces after the election. But there was a question as to the exact size of Mr. Truman's electoral majority.

Truman's Election Is Official Today
General Electric's "House ot Magic" gave a large number of students and local residents a glimpse in the future Dec. 10.
Quality Cleaning at Reasonable Prices
Parks' vote for Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina gave the States' Rights candidate 39 votes instead of 38, cutting Truman's vote to 303.
The demonstration, under the direction of William O. Hoberman, featured such scientific phenomena as bouncing putty, the inductotherm, motionless motion, "hearing light", gamma ray counting, shadowgraphing, and a picture of paper exploding.

Mr. Hoberman explained the cause of each phenomenon as well as telling its use. Although many watched the show for entertainment, each of the experiments presented plays an important part in science.
Bouncing putty has as its largest component silicon. The putty may be placed in any shape as long as the procedure is slow. A quick change will cause it to take its previous shape. This principle enables it to bounce like a ball. It is used today mainly in paints and varnishes and as the center of gold balls.
CASH AND CARRY ONLY
The inductoether appears to be a simple coil connected to a black box. It causes an electric current to flow through anything brought near it. It has been called "artificial fever" because it is used in hospitals to help produce fever in patients.
