ASC Condemns Racial Ban
The All Student Council Tuesday wound up the business of the year by adopting a resolution condemning racial discrimination in Big-7 athletics, appointing student court justices and a prosecutor, and hearing committee reports. The next meeting will be Sept. 14 before classes start.
The resolution regarding racial discrimination in athletics was passed after reading a letter from the All Student Council at Iowa State college. In a recent vote at that school, 92 per cent of the 5480 students voted favored such action.
The resolution against racial discrimination in athletics will be given to Dr. W. W. Davis, of the Big-7 rules committee which will meet University representatives Saturday.
The consideration of names for student court justice led to some rather heated debate.
They did, however, confirm the nominations of Robert K. Thayer and Stanley M. Englund as court justices and Joseph D. Lysaught as prosecutor.
The Council voted to allow the publication of the Bitter Bird for another year when Leland G. Norris, business manager of the publication this year appeared before the Council to report that the Bitter Bird had been a financial success this year and that there would be no request from the Student Council for funds the coming year.
Robert F. Bennett, finance committee, reported a total loss of $552.06 on the Varsity dances, and a deficit on freshman and sophomore dances of $140.83 and $187.68 respectively. He also announced that all campus organizations desiring appropriations for the coming year should submit their proposed budgets as soon as possible.
The auditing committee reported that an amount of $44.44 will be requested from the Eagle, a campus publication, since it will not put out an issue this year. The Council donated $75 for this venture and the $30.56 difference was used to pay off a debt incurred last year.
Thessen announced the appointment of Miss Scroggy and Thayer as University representatives to the National Students Association which will meet at Madison, Wis., in August. This is an organization of student governing bodies from schools throughout the United States.
'Architecture, Why Not?' Asks Glamorous Joann Ruese
Joann Ruese, senior in architecture, scoffs at the old idea that engineering is a man's realm.
She is one of those rare beings—a woman—occasionally found in the School of Engineering. In addition to being one of the 14 women enrolled in the whole school, she is the second engineering woman ever to be elected to Mortar Board, senior women's honor society. the last engineering student appointed to the society, which selects members on a basis of service, leadership and scholarship was in 1922.
Joann invaded another male realm in 1947 by teaching descriptive geometry on the University staff. She has been manager of the Kansas Engineer and treasurer of the Architectural society. She was recently elected treasurer of Associated Women Students.
Joann said that her father, grandfather, and uncle are responsible for her decision to study engineering. They are all engineers.
"When I was a child, blueprints always interested me as much as the comics," she said, "but because I played the violin for eight years, everyone thought I should be a fine arts major. A girl friend talked me into taking a mechanical drawing course in high school and that decided the issue."
Dark-haired Joann has other assets than brains. She was queen of the engineers' 1948 Hobnail Hop and was also the 1947 campus sweetheart of Sigma Chi.
After that Joann concentrated on slide-rules and drawing boards. Fiddle-playing became only a hobby.
Joann said that after male engineering students get over the novelty of having women in their classes, they are friendly and helpful. She remembers that V-12 students used to whistle and feels glad that as civilians they like to live up to a navy tradition.

It is evident after hearing the concert given by the, University band in Hoch auditorium Tuesday that its conductor, Russell L. Wiley, is a fine musician and showman, and has gathered a talented group of players for his 115-piece band. The scope of interpretation in the symphony movements of Shostakovich and Dvorsak, Enesco's "Roumanian Rhapsody" and Tschalkovsky's "Waltz" came close to equalling a symphony orchestra.
symphony of cheese It is also hard to believe that a cornet soloist with band accompaniment is capable of presenting Schubert's "Ave Maria" as it should be done. But James Sellars played it on the cornet with exceptional skill.
An interesting feature of the concert was the "Our Governor March" written for and dedicated to Gov. Frank Carlson, who sponsored the band's trip to the Orange Bowl. This was composed and directed by Oakley Pittman, assistant director of the band.
To band accompaniment, Bill Sears gave a champion exhibition in baton twirling which drew around of applause from the audience.

Seven military officers from the United Nations security council arrived at the University Tuesday on a trip to "see two typical universities of this country."
The officers are from China, France, and England, and are being escorted by Col. Brooke E. Allen, United States air force, who explained that the officers are "trying to gain an insight into this phase of American life." They have already visited Ohio university at Athens.
This morning the visitors inspected the military science building, and at noon lunched at the Union with the Chancellor and guests from the command and general staff school, Ft. Leavenworth.
Immediately after their arrival, the officers held a press conference and then toured the campus. They also attended a meeting of the student U.N.E.S.C.O. council. Colonel Allen said that armed forces for the U.N. are not an immediate possibility, and added that the military staff committee is set for immediate action should it be called for. It is composed of representatives from each of the five permanent members of the security council, and serves now as an advisory group.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott spoke at the commencement exercises at Halstead High school Tuesday. He will also give commencement speeches at Potwin High school May 19 and Independence High school May 20.
