ASV Chairman Hits Charges By Reform Party
"The Alliance of Student Voters might as well join forces with the Independent party or any other group which will fight the Pachacamac domination of the All Student Council in the next election." Robert E. Morris, chairman of the A. S. V., said today.
"This is in the interests of independent co-operation," Morris said. "The A.S.V. has no intention of withdrawing from campus politics, nor is it controlled by so-called 'radical' elements, as charged."
His statement was in answer to the charges made Monday by spokesmen of the newly formed reform party.
Morris made three other counter charges against the reform party:
1. <sup>12</sup>Reform party leaders are fraternity men, aiding interests that would split the Independent party vote.
2. "The reform party's aims are general statements, designed as eyecatchers. They do not constitute a political platform."
3. "The reform party stated that the A. S. V had an ignominious inception. The present chairman of A. S. V, was elected because certain people desired to keep their names out of the party, but those persons, the nucleus of a new fraternity, have now bolted to form the reform party. They bolted the A. S. V. when their plans of co-operation with fraternities could not be put in effect."

The School of Fine Arts will present six students in a recital at 3 p. m. Thursday in Frank Strong auditorium.
There will be two piano numbers, one by Grace Endacott, the other by Shirley Ousley. A cello solo by Shirley Foster, a clarinet solo by Richard Lading, a vocal solo by Nancy Messenger and a violin solo by Ruthe Mercer will complete the program.
'Oslo Protests Nothing New
Recent demonstrations protecting the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia by Norwegian students are nothing new, according to Ole Andreas Stang, business senior from Oslo, Norway.
Such demonstrations show the feeling of brotherhood which has long existed among European students, he said. Nazi aggression is still fresh in the minds of these students and they strongly resent any show of aggression against fellow students. Stang explained.
On March 1, Oslo students gathered outside the Czech legation to protest "the aggression against students and professors at the University of Prague."
Norwegian students are intensely interested in world politics, Stang said, "but at K.U. political discussions usually center around local and campus politics rather than world politics."
Stang was a member of the sympathy demonstration protesting the Russian invasion of Finland in 1939. He recalled that the students marched through the streets to the Finnish legation singing the Finnish national anthem. "It was an orderly demonstration, however, and there was no violence," he explained.
Ole, who has been on the campus about a year and a half, recently married a Swedish girl, Inga Manner, whom he met while visiting his home last summer. He proudly exhibits a gold wedding band on his right hand, worn according to Norwegian custom.
Lorraine Mai Gives Artistic Recital
Lorraine Mai, soprano from the studio of Joseph Wilkins, gave her senior recital Monday night to a large audience in Frank Strong auditorium. Her accompanist was Maxine Dunkleberg.
The state music contest sponsored by the Kansas Federation of Women's clubs will be held Saturday in Frank Strong auditorium. Mrs. E. Lewis of Emporia, in charge of the music talent contest, will be present, Dean D. M. Swarthowt will act as general chairman for the contest
Miss Mai presented her numbers with assurance and artistry. The operatic arias displayed the tonal radiance of her voice, and the subte shadings of expression of which she is capable.
The varied moods of her German selections were contrasted from the vibrant and spirited "Widmung" by Schumann to Brahms' descriptive "Die Mainacht." Lalo's "L'lesclave," a song of hopeful dreams, was done without any trace of oversentiment
Some 17 artists in voice, piano and violin will appear in the state finals. They will be judged and rated by music faculty from the School of Fine Arts.
Her last two numbers, "The Three Cavaliers" by Dargomyzhsky and "The Crown of the Year" by East hope Martin, were sung with ga abandon.
Hold Music Contest In FS Saturday
The auditions in voice will begin at 10 a.m. and those in piano and violin at 1:30 p.m. The public is invited.
Britain's Fate Depends On ERP Survey Says
London, March 9—(UP)—The government served notice on the British people today that only additional aid from the United States can save this country from national bankruptcy, wholesale unemployment and a steadily declining standard of living.
The grim assessment of Britain's plight was contained in the government's "economic survey of 1948." It showed for the first time the full extent to which Britain is depending on the European Recovery program.
Without further American aid, it said, these reserves would be down to about 900 million dollars by Dec. 31, 1948, and would disappear altogether in 1949.
The economic white paper disclosed that Brittin's financial reserves at the beginning of the year were about $2,720,000,000.
"Our situation is that without further substantial external aid we can have no hope of recovering our equilibrium or a reasonable standard of life within the next few years," the report said.
"The outlook for 1948 remains full of uncertainties, and the coming year is bound to be one of great anxiety. But we can help make 1948 the first year of the great upward turn of European economic recovery. Nothing in this survey throws any doubt upon the ultimate capacity of our people to regain their economic strength and stability."
"If that aid is offered on the scale indicated by the Paris conference under the Marshal plan, we shall have to exert the utmost economy in our overseas expenditure.
GOP Picks Delegates
Manchester, N. H., March 9—(UP)
—New Hampshire opened the season on presidential candidates today with a preferential primary hailed as a test of strength between Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen.
At stake were the eight delegates to the Republican national convention.
For Democrats, only a state party quarrel was to be settled. Though two opposing slates of candidates were entered in the contest for New Hampshire's 16 seats in the Democratic national convention, all members of both tickets were pledged to President Truman.
A record number of voters was expected to be lured to the polls by the widely publicized Dewey-Stassen duel. The weather was cloudy and cold.
Two candidates still were pledged to General Eisenhower, despite the general's renunciation of political consideration, and another proclaimed himself favorable to Senator Vandenberg.
The Republican primary was narrowed to a test between Governor Dewey and Mr. Stassen. But it might also throw a sidelight on the voting popularity of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's availability for nomination was not expected to affect the New Hampshire situation, since its announcement was made only yesterday and all but four of the candidates had bled their allegiance by them.
Don Carr, business junior, was elected secretary of the Independents, men's political party, at a meeting March 8. He succeeds Joseph B. Manello who resigned.

Any part of the museum may be used as subject matter, and the length of the essay is left to the judgment of the writer. Essays will be judged for content and for an appreciation of the museum.
Judges will be Miss Sara G. Laird, associate professor of English; Miss Marjorie Whitney, professor of design; and Mrs. Mary Margaret Warner, curator of the Museum.
Traders See Drop In Market Prices
Chicago, March 9—(UP)—Traders feared today that prices on the nation's commodity markets were starting another downward swing.
All of the major commodities except crude rubber took a sharp drop yesterday with grains leading the descent. The trend was transmitted to the stock exchange, which closed fractions lower. Hog prices dropped 25 cents to $1.50 at the big cornbell stockwards.
The drop in grains was blamed on the government's refusal to buy flour at prices it considers too high, and exceedingly favorable weather which has given wheat growers the chance for an excellent winter wheat crop this year.
It was the biggest general drop since Feb. 13, when the big break which started Feb. 4 finally was checked and a gradual upswing began.
The National Association of Purchasing Agents reported that its latest survey showed a drift toward a "buyers' market."
Wheat, corn and soybeans for future delivery dropped the limit for a single day's trading on the Chicago board of trade, but wheat recovered slightly at the close.
Government labor experts predicted that President Truman would take action to postpone a strike of CLO, packinghouse workers scheduled for March 16. Under the Taft-Hartley law, the president could declare that a meat industry shutdown was a "national emergency."

Elected To Home Ec Council
New Candidates Get Freeze Out From GOP, South
Washington, March 9—(UP)—Republican regulars and rebellious Southern Democrats maneuvered today to put the freeze on the presidential candidacies of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and President Truman.
Jewish agency spokesman Gershon Hirsch said the agency has telegraphed the United Nations at Lake Success, N.Y., an outline of a provisional council to govern the Jewish state after May 15, when the British mandate ends.
Reports from Haifa said scores of huge packing cases containing furniture and family belongings accumulated during the past 25 years already have arrived at the docks, ready for shipment to England.
Approximately 2000 British troops and several hundred civilians are scheduled to leave Palestine aboard the S. S. Samaria, due today at Haifa, government sources announced.
MacArthur and Mr. Truman announced they were willing only a few hours apart yesterday. Many congressional Democrats put an immediate chill on Mr. Truman with reactions most remarkable for grim silence or predictions that he would be licked in November.
5th Wedr
Jerusalem, March 9—(UP)—Jewish political parties agreed today to a 32-man council to govern a Jewish state, as the British prepared large-scale evacuations from the Holy Land.
A few Democrats uttered half-hopes that MacArthur would turn out to be a Democrat and maybe run for them if they could block Mr. Truman. The general is a Republican.
G. O. P. party leaders shied away from challenging MacArthur. Most of them are convinced they have the November election in the bag. Many are not eager to top their presidential ticket with a lot of military glamor.
British officials were told yesterday their families must be out of Palestine by the end of March.
There is some rank and file MacArthur support and he has a national following as a military hero, but the greatest political asset he and General Ike possessed is fast disappearing. That was the fear among many Republicans that they could have a hard time defeating Mr. Truman this year. But MacArthur has some powerful newspaper support, including Col. Robert R. McCormick of the Chicago Tribune and William Randolph Hearst.
MacArthur's big political test will come April 6 in the Wisconsin presidential primary. He is opposed there by Thomas E. Dewey and Harold E. Stassen. If he blitzes Wisconsin, he might also blitz the Republican national convention. Otherwise he will be among the possible compromise candidates if Dewey and Sen. Robert A. Taft stalemate the convention. MacArthur also has a chance to show his stuff against the entire field of Republicans in Nebraska April 12.
