Student Court OK's ASC Seats For 2 Members
Two members of the All Student Council whose election was contested by the Independents party will keep their seats under a ruling by the student court Tuesday.
The members involved are Glen Shanahan, first year law student, and Samuel R. McCamant, engineering junior. Eldon Lackey, first year law, and Bernard M. Nagle, engineering senior, had charged that the election was not in accordance with the A.S.C. constitution.
Shanahan and McCamant were elected to the A.S.C. to fill vacancies left by Robert Wehe and Bill R. Cole at the beginning of the spring semester. Wehe and Cole were elected in the spring of 1947 while united with any party. They joined the Independents after it was organized in the fall of 1947. ASC Ruling On Vacancies
Under the A.S.C. constitution vacancies shall be filled by petition of the party to which the vacanting member belongs unless the member belongs to no party. Nomination would then be made by petition at large and voted on by the Council. No provision is made for replacing members unaffiliated at the time of election, but who subsequently join political parties.
Shanahan was nominated on a Pachacamac petition, McCamant on a non-partisan petition. Both Lackey and Nagle were candidates on Independents party petitions. Because the situation was not specifically covered by the constitution, all petitions were presented to the Council and voted on with the result that Shanahan and McCamant were elected by a 10 to 8 majority.
In dismissing the action of Lackey and Nagle, the court held article 5, section 5 of the constitution to be adequate. It is a general provision giving the Council power to fill and make provision for filling vacancies. Opposing Counsels
Duane Postlethwaite. College senior was counsel for the plaintiffs, Howard Rankin, third year law, for the defense. Harold T. Beck, prosecuting attorney, acted for the A.S.C. Sale Judy, former president of the independents, and Ralph Moberley, present party campaign manager, appeared for the plaintiffs. Benjamin Foster, president of Pachacamae, James Bernard, third year law, and James Waugh, president of the A.S.C.. were called for the defense.
Four parking cases were reviewed by the court. James G. Mason, with three violations, had three affirmed and was fined $3; Carolyn Ann Campbell, four violations, three affirmed, $3; Duane Postlethwaite, four violations, three affirmed, $2; Verle Van Camp, two violations, both reversed, no fine.
Donald Johnson, former prosecuting attorney, was sworn in as chief justice and Beck as prosecutor at the opening of the session. Johnson replaced Bernard Nordling who resigned.
Who Were The Intruders?
Law Wives Or Mouse Family?
Mice last night attempted to take the spot light from Mrs. William Scott, interior decorator, who spoke on home decoration at a meeting of the Law Wives in Green hall.
WEATHER
Between the antics of mama mouse, papa mouse, and baby mouse, all very distressed at seeing so many women, Mrs. Scott talked informally on plans for future homes.
Kansas—Fair and warmer today and tonight. Thursday fair and mild. High today in 70's. Low tonight 45 to 50.
Columbia Professor Will Talk Tonight
Adolf A. Berle, associate professor of law at Columbia university and former assistant secretary of state, will give the first of a series of lectures under the Judge Nelson Timothy Stephens lectureship at 8 tonight in Fraser theater. He will speak on "Natural Selection of Political Forces."
Professor Berle will speak tomorrow and Friday nights on "Ideological Warfare" and,"The Making of Actual Peace," respectively. The lectures are given two out of every seven years.
Judge Says 'No' To Lewis' Plea
Washington, April -14—(UP) Trial of John L. Lewis on contempt charges began today with the presiding judge over-ruling a motion for dismissal of the charges.
The ruling was made by Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough, the same man who 17 months ago fined Mr. Lewis and the United Mine Workers $3,510,00 for contempt in refusing to call off a November, 1946 strike. The supreme court subsequently reduced the fine to $710,-000.
After Judge Goldsborough over-ruled the dismissal motion Mr. Lewis and his union pleaded not guilty to the new contempt charges.
The government contends that Mr. Lewis ignored an April 3 court order directing him to call off the soft coal strike "forthwith." Mr. Lewis called off the strike Monday—nine days after the order was issued.
The government took the position that Mr. Lewis' action came too late and that he thus was in contempt.
The union leader accompanied by his lawyers, entered the courtroom 18 minutes before the trial started. He strode to a seat in almost the same spot he occupied 17 months ago. His face was drawn and pale. Except for an occasional aside to an aside he sat impassively. If he is found guilty of contempt, he could be given a stiff fine and a possible jail sentence. His union also could be penalized.
Steel Arrives For Library
The delay in the construction of the annex to the west side of Watson library was ended this week with the arrival of 80 tons of structural steel.
Construction may be delayed later because of the lack of cut-stone, Mr. Huff said. Cut-stone is used as an exterior facing and will match the present library facing.
"We hope to have it finished this year, but because of the delays of materials and labor difficulties this may not be possible."
The steel, costing about $25,000,
will be used as a frame to support
the annex. The erection of the steel
will begin April 19, according to
Ray Huff of the Huff Brothers
Construction company.
Mr. Huff said the annex will not be completed by summer.
Ruebin Corbin, garden and marketing specialist from the United States department of agriculture, will speak at 7:45 p. m. April 20, in the grade school auditorium at Sunflower.
The four-floor annex to the library will be used for stack rooms for library books.
Gardening Specialist Will Talk At Sunflower
His topic will be "Vegetable and Flower Gardening." Mr. Corbin broadcasts daily over WDAF in Kansas City, Mo.
ASC Makes Two Changes In Vacations
