KU Receives Money Gifts
Gifts for establishing a scholarship and a loan fund have been received by the University. Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced today.
The Charles H. Ashton Memorial scholarship has been established with a $1,000 gift from Mrs. Ashton of Lawrence and her daughters. Miss Madoline Ashton, Lake Forest, Ill., and Mrs. Annette Ashton Becker, Seattle, Wash.
Former students of Charles D. Bunker, retired curator of the Museum of Natural History, have made a first gift of $500 for a loan fund in his name. Outstanding students of natural history may draw from it. Later the donors hope to increase the fund so that the income will be sufficient to support a fellowship.
The late Professor Ashton joined the University faculty in 1903 and served as chairman of the department of mathematics until his death in 1926. Interest from the fund will be given periodically as a cash award to a student showing great promise in mathematics.
Retired After 40 Years
Mr. Bunker retired in 1944 after 40 years of service. He had only a grade school education, but through self-education achieved nationwide fame.
He mounted the comprehensive exhibit of North American wildlife that Prof. L. L. Dyche displayed at the first Chicago world's fair. It is now the major exhibit in the Dyche reunion.
Discuss Refugees At Club Meeting
Displaced persons and refugees from foreign countries should be admitted to the United States, Herne B. Chubb, professor of political science, told members of the International Relations club Tuesday.
"The United States has to pay for keeping displaced persons in foreign countries," Dr. Chubb said. "Many are skilled workers that could be used to increase our promotion."
One Million From Kansas City
Kenneth Beck, president, said that Kansas City had raised one million dollars for Jewish refugees. Canada, Australia, and Brazil have taken in refugees he said, but the United States is lagging behind because of politics.
William Tincher, College freshman, argued that displaced persons should be left in their countries to help rebuild war-torn towns and cities.
May Cause Unstability
Donald Ong, College senior, said that the United States economic system becomes unstable with sudden additions of population, and cautioned that immigration placed a strain on economic stability.
Robert Bathurst, College sophomore, said that immigration would increase United States population and balance the country's diminishing birth rate.
The meeting was the last one of the present semester. The club will resume activities next fall.
Philippine Envoy Named

UN's Handling Of Palestine May Be A Farce, Rivlin Says
News Of The World
The United Nations' handling of the Palestine problem will probably be nothing but a farce, believes Arieh Rivilin, College freshman from Petah-Tiqua, Palestine.
Rivlin, a pre-medical student at the University, lives only seven miles from Tel Aviv, the scene of many recent terrorist raids and riots. "Nothing will ever be accomplished by these riots," he said. "They are sponsored by Jewish refugees from Europe who have returned to Palestine and found their families killed."
Describing the Arabs as a nearprimitive people, Rivlin said that the British have opposed a Jewish state because they fear that the Jews would never permit the control that Great Britain has held over the Arabic state. 'British Control Araba'
"Under the present system, which is very similar to the old feudal system, the British can control the Arabs through a few corrupt lead-
"Any solution that is reached will Russian influence from spreading in over the oil interests found in the Middle East," he said in an interview recently. "Until the great powers forget these two factors and consider the problem strictly as one of Arab-Jewish conflict, there will never be any solution."
'Riots Accomplish Nothing'
Fred W. Shipman, director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt library released the memorandum yesterday to the senate war investigating committee which has been trying to get access to the war president's papers to see if any of them throw light on navy oil purchases it is investigating.

Dummies Smart Enough To Give Plavs
"Right now, the Arabs depend almost entirely upon Jewish doctors for their medical care." Rivlin's father is himself a physician in Petah-Tiqua.
Rivlin said that he firmly believed the Arabs and the Jews could live harmoniously.
and large landowners. But if the Jews established a democratic state in Palestine, which guards the mouth of the Suez Canal, Great Britain would lose control of what has been a territory vital to their empire's strength."
"The Arabs have never learned to till their soil to any advantage, some of them living worse than even your Southern share croppers used to," he said.
"Even now Americans don't really get a true picture of what is happening in Palestine," Rivlin said. "For example, they don't realize that there is nearly as much trouble among the Arabs themselves as there is between the Jews and the Arabs."
Dummies do the darndest things. For example, classes in Methods of Teaching have a group of dummies, puppets to you, that is going to present four short plays at Fraser theater June 3. The show will start at 3:30 p.m. You're all invited.

Membership in the Methods club°
Membership in the Memoria consists of art-education, and occupational therapy majors. Each dummy used in the show was made by a member. The members will speak the lines and guide the movements of their puppets during the show. All of the plays are written by members and the costumes and scenery were also original.
Miss Maude Ellsworth, director of the Methods club, said that the vaudeville show will feature a tap dancer, tight rope walker, piano player, opera singer, and a master of ceremonies. No finals, no worries, nothing but playing the piano, dancing, and singing.
While courtroom crowds rushed jubilantly toward the defendants, oresiding judge L. Robert Martin stormed into his chambers indicating displeasure at the jury's verdict of complete aquittal.
These dummies aren't so dumba
