Students Argue Disarmament During U.N. Pre-Conference
Conflict between the United States' representative Jean Moore, freshman law student, and the U.S.S.R.'s supervisor, Harold T. Herriott, College junior, flared in yesterday's pre-conference meeting on world disarmament for the student United Nations conference Saturday.
Before the discussion changed to disagreement, these points were adopted:
1. Disarmament means a reduction of troops and mass destruction weapons at home, in friendly nations, and in ex-enemy nations. These troops, their number, and location shall be reported to the UN by all member nations.
2. The above regulation is to be accomplished by a commission from the Security Council whose functions include establishing safeguards and punishments for violations. All 55 United Nations will become party to this agreement by a UN treaty.
3. The report of the Atomic Energy commission will be considered before general disarmament plans by the Security Council. A committee of one member from each nation of the Security Council will serve to prevent overlappings of the Disarmament Commission with the Atomic Energy Commission or the Military Staff committee.
Russia first proposed that each nation report to the UN the number and location of their troops. The United States challenged the accuracy of the Russian count, citing Poland as example.
Russia defended her refusal to mobilize on grounds of maintaining communication lines, while the U.S. claimed the army had influenced the Polish people in their "free" elections. This led to a diplomatic debt on the principle of free elections, national self-determination, and a comparison of freedom in Russia and the democracies, with Russia painting to our own pressure politics.
Pharmacy Fellowships Offered Graduates
A limited number of fellowships for K.U. students seeking graduate degrees in Pharmaceutical subjects will be given by the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education, J. Allen Reese, dean of the Pharmacy School said today.
Each student will receive from the foundation pay to cover the year of his appointment, plus an allowance for tuition and miscellaneous term bills. Fellowships may be renewed for one year, Dean Reese said.
All awards made by the board are subject to acceptance by the graduate school of the student's choice.
Applications should be in by July 1 so that the Board of Grants can process them and notify the applicant and the Graduate School, Dean Feese said.
Scott, Adams Chosen To Represent K.U.
Anne Scott and Melvin Adams have been chosen by the department of journalism faculty members to represent the University at an advertising program in St. Louis Feb. 24-28. Sponsored by the Advertising club of St. Louis, the program will offer student and faculty representatives of six Midwestern universities opportunities to talk to leading advertising men, and to visit radio stations, advertising agencies, and newspaper advertising offices.
Faculty representatives will be Elmer Beth, chairman of the journalism department, and John Malone, instructor of advertising. Professor Beth will speak at a luncheon Tuesday.
The student representatives were chosen by their class records and experience on the Daily Kansas. Anne Scott, college junior, has been advertising manager and Melvin Adams, college senior, is now promotion manager. This is the first year that representatives of the University of Kansas have attended.
'Y' Seeks 100 Women In Membership Drive
The Y.W.C.A. membership drive that began Thursday will continue this week Helen Harkrader, chairman of the drive said, today. At least 100 new members is the goal of the organization.
In a move to acquaint as many women as possible with the work of the Y. W., representatives of the group will visit each woman's organized house. They will explain the different services performed by the Y.W.C.A. and its importance in the training of all college women.
The present membership includes nearly 300 women according to Mrs. Christine Alford, executive secretary. She stated that the University of Nebraska has 700 women in the Y. W., which surpasses the membership of the University. The increased number of men on the campus and increased social and extra-circular activities are apparently the reasons why more women have not become members, Mrs. Alford concluded.
No Feeta-Feeta, But
Milton Canniff's newly created comic strip features the trials and tribulations of one Steve Canyon. An ex-army transport command pilot, Canyon owns an airplane that he hires out complete with crew to anyone considered a desirable customer by his secretary, Feeta-Feeta. A somewhat similar enterprise is being operated by a University student, Mac Hermann, engineering junior.
Skyway Flying Club Wants One Like Her
Two of the pilots flew to the University of Illinois last November to
Mac is owner of the Skyway Flying club with headquarters at the Lawrence Municipal airport. Without the aid of Canniff's fictitious Copper Calhoun, he recently purchased a new Cessna 120 airplane. Mac then set out to find some students to aid him in promoting low cost flying.
Carvin Dresser, Giles Smith, Paul Duckworth, Grover Keller, Alvin Steinhauser, Robert Banta, and John K. Higdon, students at the University, soon joined Hermann as members of the flying club. All licensed pilots except Steinhauser, who is a student pilot, the members may use the plane whenever it is available.
attend homecoming activities at that school. They left Lawrence Friday afternoon and returned the following Sunday.
Since Hermann does not have a beautiful benefactor like Miss Calhoon to back his venture, certain financial obligations must be met by the members. Mac terms these as "incidental." He hastened to add that any student interested in flying was eligible to become a member of the Skyway Flying club. As yet the club has no secretary, but such an addition will be considered, especially if she resembles Feeta-Feeta.
Oil Strike Postponed As Workers Meet
San Francisco (UP)—CIO oil workers today postponed for 24 hours a strike called against the west's largest oil refineries and union leaders and a major oil company planned a meeting aimed at settling their wage dispute.
The poseponement was the third since last Saturday, when the strike call was set for California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona.
If the shutdown should take place tomorrow, it could possibly fuel restrictions even more severe than during the war. In addition to affecting private motorists, the strike would curtail trucking, harbor shipping operations, railroad and airline transportation.
Washington (UP) — Authoritative sources said today the United States probably would oppose China's request for permission to sell $200,000,- 000 in UNRRA goods on the black market to raise funds for stabilizing her shaky economy.
UNRRA's nine-nation central committee was summoned to an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss unusual Chinese request. The views of the United States were certain to carry heavy weight. One official said the committee may refer the proposal to the full 48-nation UNRRA organization because of its unprecedented nature.

Investigations Begun In Pennsylvania Wreck
Altoona, Pa.—(UF) — The death toll in the crackup of the Pennsylvania railroad's "Red Arrow" flyer, which plunged over an embankment near here, was fixed at 22 today with 124 persons injured.
At least 20 of the injured were in critical condition as investigations began to fix the blame for the wreck.
London—(UP)—Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was reported today to have been bitterly criticized at today's meeting of the parliamentary labor party for submitting the Palestine issue to the United Nations.
Palestine Submission To U.N.
Brings Criticism Of Bevin
Mr. Bevin's critics charged that a new wave of terrorism was to be expected before the United Nations general assembly meeting next September. Other critics said he should have made recommendations to the UN instead of submitting the case without any suggestion for action.
Kansas City, Kan.—(UP)—Arguments on two defense motions, one for a directed verdict of acquittal and the other an alternate motion for acquittal, were to be heard today by Judge Arthur Mellott in the Leavenworth liquor conspiratory trials.
To Hear Defense Motions For Leavenworth Men
Washington—(UP)—Powerful support developed in congress today for abolishing O.P.A. and transferring its remaining controls — over rents, sugar and rice—to other government agencies.
If the motions were overruled, former Gov. Andrew Schoepel was expected to be the first witness scheduled to be called.
Senate Approval Expected Of O.P.A. Refund Bill
Price chief Max McCullough said that if the senate concurred in a decision by the house to demand a refund of nine million dollars, O.P.A. would have to shut down by Friday.
Chairman Styles Bridges said that his senate appropriations committee probably would give the house decision swift approval.
University Bookstore To Give July Refunds
Customers of the University bookstore will receive refunds on their purchases if they have kept their cash register receipts.
The first rebate will be made in July, manager L. E. Woolley said today. "We hope to refund 15 percent of gross sales," Mr. Woolley said. "We operate on a semi-annual basis. Our fiscal periods begin on Jan. 1 and Julv 1."
The first rebate will be made in July, manager L. E. Woolley said today
Inventory is taken at the end of each fiscal period, and any profits are refunded to the students by paying a certain per cent on cash register receipts.
"Although our system has been publicized, there may be new students who do not realize that the green stubs they receive from our cash register will be worth money," the manager of the bookstore said.
Bow Your Legs, Pardner, Get Set For Bull Slinging
Bow your legs, "pardner," and get ready to sling the bull or whatever you do with a bull at a rodeo, because the University has been invited to one, in that city where there ain't no law (or so the students of the University of Arizona like to believe), Tucson.
Kansas is one of the 46 colleges and universities throughout the West and Mid-west that has received an invitation to participate in the seventh annual intercollegiate rodeo at the University of Arizona, March 15 and 16. at the Tucson rodeo grounds. boot and cigar races
For the Arizona students festivities are to last a week, from March 10 through 16, but members of other schools are invited to the rodeo contests March 15 and 16.
Everything is to be in a western mood even to the drawls and beards. Anyone caught without his western getup is thrown into a big corral in the middle of the campus and treated as a steer. The new painless branding is guaranteed.
Events scheduled for the women include the bronce cow pony race,
