Britain Will Not Enforce Partition
Nations security The statement touched off fresh speculation that UN eventually might have to ask the United States and Russia to send troops to Palestine to end Arab-Jewish fighting.
London—(UP)—Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin said today that British troops will not help enforce the partition of Palestine, even if the United Nations security council so orders
Bevin, in the second day of commons debate on the Palestine situation, said Britain would give up control of Palestine even before May 15 if possible, and rush the withdrawal of the 70,000 British soldiers now in the Holy Land.

"Neither can I be party at the present moment, when the security force as a whole is not organized under UN to putting British forces under other commands."
now in the Hong Kong Great Britain previously had announced it would not play a "Major role" in the enforcement, but Bevin went further today, asserting that we feel we have done our best—the problem of enforcement must be left to others."

Memorial Corporation To Fill Board Vacancies
ISA Seeks New Officers
Officers will be elected and vacancies on the board will be filled.
The University Memorial Corporation will meet at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Pine room of the Union.
Top contender for the title of "meanest man of the year" is the person who steals buibs from the Christmas decorations at Hoch auditorium, believes C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
Several bulbs, which cannot be replaced, have been removed and broken on the sidewalk.
The buildings and grounds department each year decorates Hoch and sets up chimes which play carols from Dyche tower before the Christmas vespers.
The decorations at Hoch this year consist of colored lights strung in two live evergreen trees on either side of the entrance, and four lighted
wreaths hung upon the facade. A tree will be placed in the main rotunda of Frank Strong hall in a few days to complete the decorations, Mr. Bayles said. The tree will be decorated with the help of Miss Marjorie Whitney, associate professor of design.
Light Is Coming To Dark Spots On The Campus
Some of the darker paths on the University campus will soon be made brighter by street lights. The project was started recently by the buildings and grounds department after an emergency request from the chancellor.
the challenge.
Installing the street lights depends mainly on finding pipe posts to mount the lights on, C. G. Bayless, superintendent of building and grounds, said today. Some have been found, he said, and a lighting system from the rear of Frank Strong hall to the stadium is almost completed.
During Christmas vacation the building and ground crew will also have several repair jobs to complete. Among these are the interior painting of Oread High School, the plastering and painting of the chemistry lecture room in Bailey laboratories, and the sanding and waxing of the new oak floor in the Lay school library.
lights will be installed as soon as possible around Watkins hospital, the nurses home, the home economic practice house, through the grove from Frank Sttrong hall to the Union, between Jollife and Watkins halls, and from Robinson gymnasium to the annex, Mr. Bayles said.
In addition, the crews will continue to scrape and sand the floors in Frank Strorf hall until the surfaces are smooth enough to lay linoleum.
Cash prizes, automatic membership in Quill club, and publication in its new literary magazine will be awarded students for the best short story and best poem entered in a contest sponsored by the club.
Quill Club Has Contest
poem.
Typed manuscripts of not more than 2,500 words should be turned in to Prof. Ray West in 201 Fraser hall before Jan. 9, 1948. They should be clearly marked as contest entries.
All undergraduate students except Quill club members are eligible. Ten dollars will be awarded for the winning short story, $5 for the best poem.
The new magazine has not yet been named, but will be similar to "New Writers" published by English students last spring. It will contain articles by Quill club members as well as the winning contest entries. The tentative publication date for the first issue has been set for Feb. 17, 1948.
The engineering profession should have as much recognition by the public of this responsibility as the doctor, lawyer, or clergyman, Mr. George said. To solve this problem, he suggested a strong national engineering society to maintain professional standards, and active participation in community affairs by the engineers themselves.
The engineer has a direct moral and legal responsibility to the public. B. J. George, engineer-lawyer from Kansas City told the student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Thursday.
A semi-formal Christmas dance, sponsored by the Sunflower K. U. Dames, will be tonight at 8:30 in the Sunflower school auditorium.

Declares Engineer Has Duty To Public
In addition to dancing there will be a roving photographer, a floor show, and a grand door prize to be drawn at 11:45. Don Accuroso and his orchestra from Kansas City, Mo. will play.
All students living at Sunflower are invited.
Partition Worries Students; Possible War In Holy Land
The possibility of a holy war in the Middle East is troubling students questioned about the wisdom of the U.N. decision to divide the Holy Land into Jewish and Arab states.
Arieh Rivlin, College sophomore from Palestine, is skeptical about partition.
"I don't appreciate the partition plan. Partition is a good idea, if everyone wants it. However, England does not want partition and she encourages the Arab leaders to resist the plan. The riots are going to become worse. But the idea is good right now because the oppressed Jews in Europe can, at least, come to Palestine."
Would Fight For Jewish Cause
Expressing alarm over the prospects of a holy war, Ira Gissen. College sophomore, said he would volunteer to fight for the Jewish cause.
"The Arabs will revolt only if Britain indicates her approval. The British would like to see partition fail so that they may continue their dominance in Palestine. The ordinary Arab has prospered under Jewish contributions to the land. It is the feudal lords of the Arabian states who want partition to fail so they may maintain their power. The decision of the U.N. must be upheld. If a holy war should really develop, I intend to volunteer, as I expect many other American college students to do, to fight on the side of the Jews." Gissen explained. Likes Partition Plan
"The British should get out of Palestine and let the Arabs and Jews settle this problem themselves," Hay added.
Mark Lesslie, business senior, was uneasy over the wisdom of partition in view of the developing holy war.
David Hay, engineering junior said he thought the partition plan a good idea.
"The British must be reluctant to get out of Palestine. They have nothing to gain and much to lose by leaving. If the Middle East is to become involved in a holy war, perhaps some plan, other than partition, should have been chosen to meet the problem," Lesslie said.
Plan Is A Compromise
Plan is A Compromise
Marko Haggard, graduate student, said, "I think the partition a necessary compromise. However, the significance lies in two challenging factors. First, will the U. S. and Russia find harmony within the frame work of the U. N., and secondly, will the U. N. command the necessary moral, material, and, if necessary, military force to win respect for its decisions?"
APO To Raise CARE Funds
The "CARE" project, consisting of a map of Kansas and adjacent Missouri areas divided into congressional districts, will be operated on a contest basis. Clarke Thomas, chairman of the "CARE" committee, reported. Jars will be provided for contributions by students from the respective districts so that each contribution will be in support of the contributor's home district. Funds obtained from the display, scheduled to go into operation today, in the Union, will be shared with local agencies, Thomas said.
Plans to raise funds for "CARE" and to engage Wayne Ruppenthal's orchestra for the March of Dimes dance Feb. 6 were announced Thursday by Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity.
Engagements of the Ruppenthal orchestra was announced by William Palmer, chairman of the dance committee. He said tickets probably will sell at $1.50 for both couples and single admissions.
