Party Heads Toss Penials, Charges Of Political Plot
By BILL MAYER
Presidents of Pachacamac and Pro-operative parties flatly deny any se-
However, the president of P.S.G.L. says that his party is convinced that here is.
The charge that a secret deal exs was made by John Rader, forml- Progressive president who resigni April 1. He said that fraternity members in the two parties are trying to split the Independent vote.
"What would you suggest?"
President Donald Ong of Pachacamayo said that his party will not like part in "any secret alliances with either of the other two parties. "We feel that student government only further weakens our official position." Ong told the university Daily Kansan. "So far I the accusations have been directed toward our party but we have made none in return.
Paul Barker, elected Progressive resident to succeed Rader, insisted pat-Rader's charges of a Progresive-Pachacamac alliance "cannot be instantiated by him or anyone else." he added that, the Progressive par-
"was started by members of six aternities that were fed up withachacamea's unorthodox methods. "It seems rather impossible thatdependent members of our party,ho have attended meeting aftereating, could not discover any hid-plot, if there were one," Barkerared. "We have at last successfully effected a Greek-Indepentunion and our opponents arevolous."
President George Caldwell of P.G.L. said that his party is "thoroughly convinced that Rader's barges are true.
"We of this party believe that achacamac has a secret agreement with Progressive, in order to split the Independent vote in the coming election." Caldwell told the University Daily Kansan.
BULLETIN
It Used To Be Sand Dunes, Now It's Gonna Be Rocks
Washington. (UP)—Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough said today that John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers have failed to comply in good faith with the no-strike mandate of the supreme court.
Judge Goldsborough granted a government request for a two-week delay in returning $2,800,000 to the union. The supreme court had ordered this money refunded if the union compiled fully with its mandate against a coal strike.
"Leave the dunes to Eastwood," is the advice given by a character in ne of Robert Nathan's novels.
The reference is to the paintings of sand dunes which have become almost a trademark for Raymond Eastwood, associate professor of drawing and painting.
Professor Eastwood began painting the dunes of New England in 1924 defiance of critics who for years $ \textcircled{*} $
had argued that these sand hills couldn't be transferred to canvas.
"Don't be transferred to canvas." "That attitude angered me, so I vent out to be at the dams a try it have been at it ever since," he said.
The small, soft-voiced, New Enlander has done a little of everything. After finishing his schooling he spent some time in New York working as a painter on stage sets. The work was fast and hard.
Painted Stage Sets
From New York Eastwood went o Hollywood to take a fling at the movies, and (he dropped his head in feigned shame as he admitted his) finally played a few bit-parts. Then Came The Army
Just as he was getting settled at teaching along came the war, and the professor became a G. I. Having studied camouflage while in school, Eastwood managed to get enrolled in the army's course. He made a perfect score on the en-ence exam, completed the course, and made a perfect score on the final. "The army saw that I had made no progress, so they transferred me to photographic intelligence," he said.
How about plans for the future?
"Ive painted all the grains of
sand that I want to," he replied "this summer I am planning to start in Utah and do rock formations. I spent one summer out in that country and I really like it."

Oklahoma highway patrol chief H. B. Lowery, and Red Cross relief officials predicted the total in Woodward would pass the 100 mark.
Unconfirmed Toll At 152
The Texas Highway patrol and Red Cross officials reported to Gov. Beauford Jester at Austin that latest estimates placed the two-state death total at 152. These reports could not be confirmed elsewhere, and there was a possibility of duplication.
Hardest hit was Woodward, where the number of injured was placed at more than 500, and 2,500 to 3,500 made homeless.
Property damage was expected to total considerably more than one million dollars. Unofficial estimates placed the loss at Woodward at that figure. Heavy damage was reported also at Higgins, Glazier, and Canadian, all in Texas.

Hail as large as golf balls damaged buildings and crops in the wake of the storm at White Deer, Tex.

The group on campus problems of the Y.W.C.A. is in charge of the publication. Members of the group are Lois Thompson, chairman; Leah Uling, Jane Keith, Carolyn Carter, and Jean Parrott.
