ASC Argues Submission Of Aggie Petition
The A.S.C. meeting Tuesday really gol hot.
A heated debate among political party leaders took place around the question of submitting the Oklahoma bill to the students in the next election.
After voices were raised on both sides, the council voted to submit the question: "Resolved, that Oklahoma A. and M. should be excluded from the Big Six conference solely because of racial discrimination in the state of Oklahoma." Question On Ballot
it will be on the ballot in the election April 23.
George Caldwell, president of P S.G.L and Donald Ong, president of Pachacamac, lead the debate Caldwell opposed submission on the grounds that the vote will not be representative of student opinion.
Ong favored submission of the question. He said that he felt that real student opinion was not represented in the petition that was presented to the commission and the governor recently. Postlathleth Opposed
Duane Postlethwaite, College sen-
sor who had bitterly opposed Ong on the matter. When the council voted in favor of submission Postlethwaite jumped up with a motion that since he was the president of the college, the feeling of students about the World War II memorial be polled also.
Postliftwrote said he felt that "the ASC had not represented the students accurately in its overwhalmelding of the memorial several weeks ago."
Student Control
Cox pointed out that the matter
had been cleared up 6:25, and the motion was dropped.
The council decided that in the coming elections students with joint faculty such as College and Law or College and Medicine, will vote in district IV.
A peace conference between the University and Kansas State college will be held Tuesday when the councils from the two schools meet at a dinner in the Kansas room of the Union.

GEORGE W. MARBLE
Press Head Talks On News Problems
The greatest problems of running a newspaper come from people either trying to get in the news or trying to stay out, George W. Marble, publisher of the Ft. Scott Tribune-Monitor told journalism students today.
Mr. Marble, who is president of the Kansas Press association, related several instances in which he has been forced to solve these problems.
Of those trying to stay out of the news, he said, probably those arrested on drinking charges are the most frequent. He added that it was the policy of his paper to withhold stories of his offenders and of those who request that a story be withheld.
Others withheld are stories of juveniles who have committed minor offenses and traffic violation stories
The other types of people that are trying to get into news are local advertisers and government agencies, he said.
He said that he was swamped with publicity releases from persons or agencies trying to break into the news. Ninety-nine per cent of these releases end up in the waste-basket, he said.
Mr. Marble will speak to the Press
at dinner at 6:30 in the English
room.
"Any member of the organization is eligible for office." he said. Petition blanks with the candidate's name and the required number of signatures must be turned into the business office. Blank forms may be obtained at the office.

Phone Union To Air
Answer To Schwellenbach
Washington—(UP)—The National Federation of Telephone Workers will present to the public tonight its reasons for refusing to end the 10-day-old telephone strike until it receives a specific wage increase offer.
The N.F.T.W. announced that its president, Joseph Beirne, will broadcast an answer at 9:15 p.m. (ABC) to Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach's radio talk last night.
Both the N.F.T.W. and the American Telephone and Telegraph company rejected a strikeending abrutition proposal by Mr. Schwellenhack. The secretary last night called on the public to "demand of each side" that it change its mind.
Charges Based On Beliefs Not Proof, Students Say
Recent accusations by the Rev. Bryan Green, rector of Holy Trinity church, in London, that a high degree of immorality exists on United States college campuses drew rapid fire from students interviewed by the University Daily Kansan Tuesday.
Comments ranged from the sarcastic to the unprintable as students tossed verbal brickbats at the Englishman who addressed an all-University convocation Feb. 24 and returned $ ^{ \textcircled{6}} $ some to disclose his findings
Eight of the ten students interviewed objected to the clergyman's charges, which most believed were based upon preconceived beliefs rather than factual observations. Two students thought the visiting Englishman's findings were basically true.
Too Much English Imagination
George Holland, College sophomore, endorsed the clergyman's stand. "I personally think that a person would learn more in a man's school. The accusations are probably true; women don't belong in college anyway. Ninety-nine per cent of them come only to catch a man."
Mary Stark. College senior, remarked, "He talked to everybody very closely and got them to give opinions which he interpreted and exaggerated to fit his previously formed ideas."
Typical of the comments was that of Robert Cauble, business junior, who said, "I wonder where the Rev. Hickey is." Possibly he strolled by Potter lake and his English imagination got the best of him."
Hel Friesen, College sophomore,
doubts that such a situation exists.
"I have not been fortunate enough to find one whose morals are low."
He Can't Find One
R. C. Kelley, engineering sophomore, said, "I don't think there is a great let of immorality, due more to the lack of time and money than to moral scruples. Veterans aid the school in that respect; they act as a steadying influence upon the campus."
Speech Show Hypocrisy
Helen Mathert, College senior, commented, "The Rev. Mr. Green talked intimately to any small group around the campus and evidently enlarged upon the information they gave him. His speech showed his hypocrisy."
One coed said she belied the accusations are true, but added that the Englishman had exfoliated information learned in private conferences which had been discussed supposedly "in strict confidence."
"Most of the girls whom I have talked with agree that his percentages of immorality are about right but think he took a lot for granted in publicizing what was told him in confidential interviews," she declared.
"Looked For Delinquency"
Myers, College, sophomore,
"Probably the situation could stand
improvement, but the Rev. Mr.
Green has greatly overemphasized
(its seriousness. I think he came here for delinquency."
Elwanda Brewer, education junior,
blamed the press for allotting undue prestige to the clergyman's speech.
"He probably said only in generalities what the papers stated specifically. His remarks were probabilistically realized to make a good news story."
An unidentified male student said, "Ninety per cent of the men are probably immorally inclined, but that's about as far as it goes. There's a sharp dividing line between aspiration and achievement."
Trumon Requests Authority To Holt Munitions Shipping
Washington. (UP)—Congress took a cautious look today at President Truman's request for authority to halt munitions shipments to nations considered potential enemies of the United States.
"If war should ever again become imminent." Mr. Truman said, "It would be intolerable to find ourselves in our present position of being bound by our own legislation to give aid and support to any power which might later attack us."
Irate Telephone Operators
Resign From Union
Miss Justine Ruble, chairman of the Woodward local, said each of the operators was sending her resignation to the National Federation of Telephone Workers as a protest against the union's instructions to ticket the Woodward exchange during the emergency following last Wednesday's tornado.
Woodward, Okla. —(UP)—Thirty irate telephone operators, who disregarded orders to remain on strike when this tornado-striken city needed their help, mailed official resignations today to their union's parent body.
National Service life insurance carries no restrictions as to the residence, travel or occupation of insured veterans, the Veterans administration says.
