'Eagle' Opposes Dove' Policies
Any similarity between the Eagle and the Dove will be purely coincidental.
That was the opinion of the start at the organization meeting of the Fagle, a new student publication, Monday.
Designed to express what its organizers call the "majority campus opinion," the Eagle will be conservative, and will undoubtedly oppose the Dove on economic and political questions.
Platform of 'Eagle'
Purpose He is the stand that the Eagle will take on several issues.
ONE. Denounce communist activity in the United States.
TWO. Uphold the American system of free enterprise.
THREE. Attack Henry Wallace.
FOUR. Attack Tommy Robinson.
TWO. Attack bomb policy.
The question of policy came up immediately. One student asked, "Are we going to be reactionary?" It was decided he would not pass on definition, but the publication would certainly be "conservative, middle-of-the-road."
FIVE. Stress aid universal military training.
SEVEN. Plug for admission of Oklahoma A. & M. into the Big Six.
SIX. Hit at "northern agitation in the race question."
Donald H. Ong, College senior, charged that members of the Dove's staff recently handed out copies of their publication to legislators in Topeka, causing concern among several legal regulators by raising concerns regarding several representatives over activities of "radicals at the University of Kansas."
An executive board to handle mechanical details was chosen. Members are Donald Ong, Bruce Bathurst, and Bill Barger, College seniors; Wallace Foster and Joan Woodward, juniors; and a D Buell Schilts, and William Tincher, freshmen.
A general policy was drawn up. It is to be "an opposition to any minority group that tries to present its opinion as a majority opinion." Specifically, they accuse the Dove of "presenting a distorted picture of campus opinion."
One thing is sure. The Eagle will not be printed on pink paper. Gave Legislators Copies

Reynolds On Last Laps Of Record Flight
Adak, Aleutian Islands—(UP)
—The Reynolds Bombshell took off from Adak army air field at 8:24 a.m. today on the next-to-last lap of its 20,000-mile record-breaking flight around the world.
The twin-engined converted bomber headed for Edmonton, Alta., 2,889 miles east and the last fuel stop of the spectacular flight. Milton Reynolds said he expected to make the Adak-Edmonton lap in seven hours and 30 minutes.
Kansas Rivers Are Still Flooded
High water plagued residents of southeastern, southcentral, and eastern Kansas today as several streams continued flooding. Almost all streams were running bank full or higher.
State and U. S. highways were closed at many places today, but the weather bureau said the overflow was not dangerous.
In central and southeastern Kansas, the Neosho river spread over low-lying farm lands. The Neosho stood four feet above flood stage at Emporia, with less overflow reported farther down. The Walnut river went out of its banks near Winfield blocking railroad tracks.
In east-central Kansas, the Marais des Cygnes river is still running high. From Osawatome to the Missouri line, there is a slight overflow.
Additional rain is predicted for much of the area today.

Don't Buy A New Complexion. .
Here's How You Can Remodel The Old One
By J. WELLINGTON ROBINSON
Would you like a complexion like a peach—yellow and fuzzy? Probably not.
Then pay attention to what suave, modish Lynn Weston, a cosmetic firm representative from New York, had to say about the application of cosmetics and care of the skin.
In a recent demonstration before the Home Economics club, Miss Weston described every phase of applying facial make-up.
She particularly emphasized that cleansing cream must be chosen with care. The skin of college girls is young and tender, and should have nothing but the lightest, most delicate creams applied to it, she said.
To use the cream correctly, start at the throat and work up—but gently. Be careful when working under the eyes. There's no bone structure here and you might push your fingers right through the skin, the lovely Lynn warned the girls.
Cleaning lotion must be used to dislodge the cream. Using cleansing cream without using lotion is like using a bar of soap without water, and that's quite a trick.
Don't Push Through Skin
Miss Weston explained that the contents of cleansing lotion is nothing but citrus fruit, and so if you're rushed in the morning and don't
have time to use the lotion, just drink orange juice and drool. It has the same effect.
Just Pound. Your Face.
After the cleasing lotion has been applied, cleansing tissue will remove it. Pound your face with the tissues. This not only removes the lotion, but also stimulates the circulation.
Let the powder base dry before applying rouge. Cream rouge is preferable to the powder type as it brings out a natural flush*. If you face fuzz will not protrude. If you still have trouble with face fuzz—shave.
The climax of the entire procedure is the application of lip rouge. Use a lip brush! It can completely change the shape of your whole mouth. Your face and your canvas are the most visible tool for holding brush. Of course, if you're satisfied with the shape of your mouth then simply paint your lips.
Now the job is complete. Look in a mirror. Demoralizing, isn't it?
Campus Politics 'Stink,' Student Group Insists
The present system of student politics "stinks" and it's time for some sort of good government league.
The group will meet again at 4 p. m. today in Green hall.
That is what 50 students, who met in the Kansas room Monday, believe. The meeting was called by a group of students who said that they were voting with "power politics and block voting in all three political parties."
Otis Hill, the moderator, explained the purpose of the meeting. He said, "The present political set-up has shown no constructive leadership, much bickering, and inter-group name calling.
"An organization should be formed; one that would endorse various candidates and urge students to vote for the man, not for the party. Questions Arise On System
But when Hill had finished his talk, these questions came up immediately.
"Shall we merely present facts about candidates? Shall we plug for the election of certain ones and if so, which ones? Shall we go even further and put up a new slate?"
Anne Scott, College senior, said that the group should endorse certain candidates.
Shirley Wellborn, College junior, asserted, "We cannot combat political parties by forming another one."
Rader Wants Convocation
At this point John Rader, who recently charged that the Progressive party was an instrument to split the Independent vote, cautioned that the group might become the tool of a political party.
"There's no chance for the man who doesn't live in an organized house." he said. "We should have an all student convocation and let each candidate speak for himself. We should abolish political parties."
Donald Ong, College senior, warned of disadvantages of a "non-partisan" political action group.
Calvin Cooley, College freshman, endorsed the plan but said, "There is an amendment before the student council that would take care of everything. It would kill political parties."
He referred to a proposed amendment to Article 5 of the rules governing student life. It would make student council representation by houses and housing districts instead of by schools of the University, as now exists.
He said, "It would be to the advantage of the unorganized student. It might become a self-perpetuating Organization houses would pack the meetings."
Ong Warns Of Disadvantages
Ernest Friesen, College freshman, said. "We should form a group emphasizing 'let's vote for the man and not for the party.'"
That the whole thing would have to be done by people who were sincere was emphasized several times. Bruce Hutchert, College sophomore.
Werner Sums Up Problem
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, summed up the problem by telling about a convention of the National Independent Students association last week at the University of Oklahoma.
"This convention attacked the problems of student government all over the country," he said. "In most universities, and ours is no exception, the electorate is not properly informed. Party alignment is the only thing left for them. A Greek-Independent split is fatal."
"The convention suggested a possible solution in a large body of disinterested workers, three or four hundred strong, which would describe each candidate and get the student body out to vote."
