Seniors Want Suggestions For Class Gift
All members of the class of 1948 are asked to submit suggestions for a class gift, Glenn Kappelman, chairman of the gift committee, announced today. Suggestions may be given to Kappelman or to the following members of the committee Alice Goldsworthy, James Brady William Burt, and Rosanne Croff.
Kappelman added that one of the objectives of this year's gift project would be to get it started before the seniors had actually graduated so they could see the start of what they had planned.
"More money will be available for a class gift this year than ever before," said Kappelman, "and we want out gift to be better than any previous gift. We may have from $3,000 to $4,000."
2. Benches and seats around the campus.
Suggestions made so far include:
1. Large clocks for buildings which do not have them.
3. A lounge for the central part of Frank Strong hall.
4. A library for the Union.
5. A Potter lake swimming pool and beach.
6. New scoreboard for the stadium

Beth Attends KPA Meeting
Elmer F. Bein, enwarman of the William Allen White School of Journalism, is attending the Kansas Press association convention in Topeka today and tomorrow.
Professor Beth will report on the findings of the University journalism department faculty in scoring and indicating the weak points of daily and weekly Kansas newspapers at the convention. The journalism faculty has scored 185 Kansas weekly newspapers, published in towns of less than 1,000 population, and 21 Kansas daily newspapers of towns with 7,500 population.
The newspapers were scored and returned to the editors and publishers with the purpose of pointing out weak points in typography, editing, make-up and advertising and aiding them in overcoming bad features.
Professor Beth and Ralph Lashbrook will lead a discussion on the faculty scoring, which will be the basis for today's round-table discussions.
The Kansas State college journalism faculty recently made a similar scoring to daily and weekly newspapers.
Several journalism students and other faculty members are also attending the convention.
T. DeWitt Carr, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, left for Princeton, N. J. today to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Association of Naval R.O.T.C. colleges.

Taft Protests Truman Program
Washington, Jan. 9-(UP)—Sen.
Robert A. Taft was still fighting today for a Republican program of social legislation in the face of continuing silence from house Republican leaders.
Taft asserted that the Republican-controlled congress would proceed with its own social welfare program as a substitute for President Truman's. He gave the pledge last night in a radio speech.
He said the president's program generally would add up to "National bankruptcy" and that the "10-year Truman plan would leave about as much freedom in this country as Stalin's five year plan has left in Russia."
Taft, a presidential aspirant and his party's senate spokesman on domestic policy, has been pressing or months for social legislation in the Republican program this year.
Taft attacked Mr. Truman's proposals for social legislation—particularly the president's request for national health insurance on grounds that they would vest all power in Washington.
1. Administration proposals would boost the federal budget by an estimated 10 billion dollars a year with additional increases in costs later.
2. The president's tax plan—a $40 tax credit for each individual with the revenue loss offset by higher corporate taxes—is "discriminatory" and a threat to industrial production.
3. In its tax strategy, the administration is "playing politics with your money."
4. Congress has given the president all the powers he needs to check inflation but he has not used them.
Forensic League Hears Two Talks
Despite our scientific and technical advances, we of the 20th century are actually "lower than our cousins of the jungle," Edward Stollenwerck, College sophomore, told members of the Forensic league Thursday.
Speaking earnestly on "Monkeys," Stollenwerk deplored the condition of a civilization which allows starvation amidst plenty, corruption aligned with power, and constant warfare.
"The Glories of Eating" was the title of a speech by Jane Belt, College junior. She rejected the philosophers', historians, and psychologists, definitions of man because "they call us free when actually we are ruled by the love of eating."
Formation of a Lawrence Extension center was announced today by Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension. Hobart Hanson, former bureau director, will become manager of the Lawrence center.
Forensic League members chose a committee to launch a campus intramural speech program. They are Keith Wilson, chairman; Hall Friesen, William Conboy, Orville Robbins, and Prof. E. C. Buehler, members.
Deen Stockton Announces New University Project
The center will operate through the bureau and will aid teaching departments of the University in man- terial training courses, and workshops held here.
Between semesters a peace officers training school and a Junior Red Cross institute will be held.
Arab Forces Enter Palestine; UN Urges Action
Jerusalem, Jan. 9—(UP)-Arab expeditionary forces, about 2,000 strong, invaded Palestine from the Levant in a number of border crossings today and stormed scattered Jewish towns in the face of strong resistance by British army and Jewish defense units.
Reports from the northeastern tip of Palestine said some 800 Arabs swarmed across from Syria today and laid siege to the settlements of Dan and Kefar Szold.
Responsible sources in Beirut reported that about 1,000 Arab volunteers struck across the frontier from Lebanon during the night. Advices from Beirut said the invaders were Jewish settlers in the Safad and Tiberias districts, the northeasternmost in Palestine.
At Lake Success, Secretary-General Trygve Lie urged the United Nations security council today to invoke all its powers if necessary—including use of military force—to keep peace during the impending partition of Palestine.
At the first meeting of the UN Palestine commission Lie implicitly encouraged the Palestine commission to seek protective force from the security council.
New Religion Group Forms
Harrison Madden, College senior,
was elected temporary chairman of
the Student Volunteer movement,
new campus religious group organized Wednesday in Myers hall. The next meeting will be held in Myers hall at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Hugh Gibson, College senior, and Donald Croll, junior, called the meeting to discuss the application of Christianity in present-day life. Dr. Edwin Price, dean of the School of Religion, helped to plan the new group's activities.
The organization, which will work with the Student Religious council and Lawrence churches, is an outgrowth of the recent Conference on Christian Frontiers.

Since its beginning on Aug. 1, 1943, the University guidance bureau has expanded from one to 16 rooms and has increased its staff from three to 17.

By August Dr. Turney had obtained two staff members and one room in Fraser hall. He began borrowing space wherever he could find it, and within three months the bureau had two rooms in the basement of Frank Strong hall. The staff had increased to four full-time employees and several student helpers.
The bureau remained in Frank Strong until the beginning of this semester. It was then moved to its present location in annex B of Frank Strong.
the bureau staff now includes five counselors, three psychologists, four full-time civil service clerks, and seven student assistants. It takes 16 rooms to house the bureau now. fias Counseling Purpose
The purpose of the bureau is to counsel University students who need help in making educational and
vocational choices and in dealing with personal problems. The bureau also provides testing services and complete occupational information.
One thousand and fifty students were aided by the bureau last year and a similar number is expected to ask for assistance this year.
So far this year, 50 per cent of the veterans have been aided by the bureau. Last year 75 per cent received help.
