Patrick H. Thiessen Is New ASC Chief
By COOPER ROLLOW and GENE VIGNERY
The Pachacamac machine stalled Thursday night, but finished in high gear to land Patrick H. Thiessen in the All Student Council presidency by 160 votes.
Thiessen received 1,774 votes, against 1,614 for Arnold J. Englund, Independent, who becomes student representative at large.
The Pachacamaca grabbed 9 of the 17 A.S.C. berths and gained all positions on the junior and sophomore class tickets. The Independents swept all four senior class positions. A total of 3,388 students voted in the presidential election, and 3,330 students cast their ballots for A.S.C. representatives. The figures represent approximately one-third of the 1947-48 University enrollment.
Small Senior President
Marvin Small, Independent, was elected president of the senior class by a 67-vote margin. Small collected 512 votes to 445 by his opponent, Bruce Bathurst, Pachacamac. Independents elected to the other senior class positions are Richard Bertuzzi, vice-president; Betty Mae Brooker, secretary, and Joan Strowig, treasurer.
Forrest Griffith, Pachacamac, garnered 610 votes to take the junior class presidency. Ruth Keller, Independent candidate, got 550 votes. Other Pachacamac elected to junior class posts are Helen Baker, vicepresident; Bernadine Read, secretary; and Ronald D. Weddle, treasurer.

Thieves Rob Shops; Take Emery Grinder
Thieves forced open a window of the Fowler shop building April 14 and took a large emery grinder and stand.
They also made off with a hand grinder and a wrench. An electric clock with hands stopped at 8:30 was hanging by two wires from the wall. The burglarls had torn it away in an attempt to take it with them. Work desk drawers had been opened, but apparently nothing else was taken.

To Settle Conflict Within 10 Years
"The conflict between the ideologies and methods of liberal democracy and communism will be resolved within the next 10 years." Prof. Adolf A. Berle predicted Thursday night.
"I believe that liberal democracy will maintain itself over communism just as it did over naziism and fascism—which are side growths of communism." Professor Berle said.
Professor Berle, an associate professor of law at Columbia university, spoke to an audience which almost filled Fraser theater. His lecture was the second in the Judge Nelson Timothy Stevens series. The final lecture by Professor Berle, "The Making of Actual Peace," will be at 8 tonight in Fraser theater.
He predicted a likely comparison between the last of the 18th century and the middle of the 20th century—a period of violence, disorder and turbulences.
Professor Berle is defending in his lectures an hypothesis that a law of selection exists which is continual and universal. The selection favors ideologies and forces which offer the greatest chance for survival. Such ideas and forces must have universal appeal to mankind, he declares.
Democracy and communism are alike in their basic concepts and ideology, Professor Berle said. These concepts can be compromised, accommodated, and might even be merged. They are not opposites.
PATRICK H. THIESSEN
New President Is Honor Man
Patrick H. Thiessen, who was elected to the All Student Council presidency Thursday, has followed a versatile career since he entered the University three years ago, according to facts gathered by a University Daily Kansan reporter.

Thiessen for $21\frac{1}{2}$ years was a member of the University band and business manager during part of the time. He has been a member of the Kansas Relays committee for three consecutive years and shared in the making of plans for 1947 homecoming. In debate, Thiessen placed third in the Lorraine Buehler speech contest this year. He was also on the dean's honor roll for 1946-1947.

CORE Strikers Thrown Out Of Cafe
By JIM ROBINSON And MILDRED GULNIK
Twenty-five members of the Committee on Racial Equality were thrown out of Brick's cafe Thursday night by about 30 University students after staging a three-hour sit-down strike protesting racial discrimination in the cafe.
The C.O.R.E. members, 17 whites and 8 Negroes were picked up and carried out about 8 p.m. after they $ \textcircled{4} $
Students in the crowd who threw the C.O.R.E. members out would not disclose their names but Robert Stewart, C.O.R.E. chairman, said today that several of the group were recognized as members of the football team.
refused to leave the restaurant. No one was injured and the C.O.R.E. members refused to put up a fight. Seven women strikers were left sitting in booths. They left about 8:30 p.m.
"We have identified five of them as James Drewelow, James Foulks, Hugh Johnson, Joseph Mendenhall, and Dick Monroe," Stewart said.
Stewart would not say if C.O.R.E. planned to take any further action against Brick's cafe, or the group which they them out.
W. E. Murphy, owner of Brick's,
students, Nelson Moore and Talmage Hiebert, said they were not C.O.R.E members and were not taking part in the demonstration. Neither was injured.
Two city policemen arrived in a patrol car just before the strikers were thrown out. They said they did not have the authority to force the strikers to leave and could not make any arrests unless there was a disturbance. As soon as the crowd began carrying the protesters out, the policemen left.
said the C.O.R.E. members were thrown out by a group of students who were refused service in the cafe because most of the seating space, 17 booths, was occupied by C.O.R.E. members. He emphasized that he did not have anything to do with ejecting the protesters.
Police Chief C. A. Bliesner later refused to do disclose the names of the two patrolmen and would not say who had sent them to the cafe. Both C.O.R.E. and Mr. Murphy said they used the police as soon as the strike started at 5 p.m.
Among the C.O.R.E. members who took part in the demonstration were Joseph Brown, Stanley Kelley, Harry Lees, Frank Stannard, Wendell Walker, and Stewart.

L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, issued the following statement this morning; "C.O.R.E. is not a recognized student organization. If students participate in its activities they do so entirely as individuals and must therefore be responsible as individuals for the disturbances created."
James Mason, University Daily Kansan picture editor, was ordered out of the cafe by Mr. Murphy when he attempted to take a picture of the strikers.
About two hours after the protest began two students, one Negro and one white, attempted to enter the cafe and were thrown out by the crowd which had formed. The two
The thousands of track-minded alumni and visitors already swarming the campus will focus their attentions upon a giant engineering exposition, the number one tract event in the country, the Relays Queen and her courts and a colorful parade.
Nancy Lindemuth, Washburn university, will reign as "Queen of the Kansas Relays." She was chosen Thursday night from a field of eight. Miss Lindemuth will first be presented at a Ku Ku street dance at 8:30 tonight in front of the Union. Records May Fall
With a clear day and a good track in prospect, some records seem likely to fall. Bill Easton, relays director, looks for new records in the 400-yard high hurdles, 120-yard high hurdles, 400-meter hurdles, discus, and shot put.
The starting field will include 11 N.C.A.A. and National A.A.U. champions. Outstanding track and field stars who will compete tomorrow include Harrison Dillard, Baldwin-Wallace; Charles Fonville, Michigan; Irving "Moon" Mondshien, New York university; Fortune Gordien, Minnesota; Allen Lawler, Texas; Jack McEwen, Colorado; Tom Scofield, Kansas; and Clyde "Smack-over" Scott, Arkansas.
To Tour Exposition
Glenn Cunningham and Jim Bausch, former University track greats, will present trophies to winners in the Glenn Cunningham mile and the decathlon.
The Engineering Exposition which opened at 1 p.m. today features one of the most outstanding arrays of scientific wonders ever presented. The 20,000 expected visitors will be conducted through the gigantic exposition in guided tours of 40 persons each.
The exhibits are placed in seven buildings. The tour begins in Marvin hall and goes through the research foundation building, the mechanical and engineering laboratories, Fowler shops, Hoch auditorium, and ends in Lindley hall. The complete tour will take approximately three hours.
Displays of television receivers and cameras, jet propulsion aircraft, miniature factories, radar and hundreds of other exhibits may be seen. Programs are being distributed showing locations of each exhibit so that visitors may see any part of the exposition without making the entire tour. Queen Leo Panda

The Queen's court will lead the colorful Relavs parade from South park at 11 am. tomorrow. Twenty floats from organized houses, the army-navy R.O.T.C. color guard, the University band, eight high school bands, and the Ku Ku's and Jay James will follow. The parade will last approximately 45 minutes.
At 1 p.m. the queens and their escorts will go to the stadium for the Relays program. Miss Lindemuth will be crowned at 2:40 p.m. by Charles H. Dunn, chairman of the Kansas Relays committee.
Miss Lindemuth and her court will be guests of honor at a dance in the Union ballroom at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow. The dance is being sponsored jointly by the All Student Council and the athletic office.
