Members Vote New I.S.A. Code
Merger Unites K.U. Independents
Ratification of the new Independent Student association constitution last week merged the old Independent organization of 1945 and the present I.S.A.
The merger began last spring when representatives of the two groups met and discussed tentative plans of the new organization. However, it was not until this fall that the constitution was written.
"We believe that much can be gained by combining the two groups since the purposes of each are based on the same method. SA's student has explained."
A handful of the new organization's 1,052 members voted unanimously to accept the constitution after making several minor changes.
Policies changed or revised in the new constitution include:
ONE. A turnover of only two-thirds in the Independent Student council.
TWO. All nominations are to be made by a nominating committee or by a petition signed by 50 students.
THREE. All I.S.A. voting is to be done on the Hill, and by balloting.
FOUR. Each member of the council is to be a chairman of a special committee.
Independents elected recently to the Independent Student council were Robert Casad and Laurel Leckron.
Ceilometer Measures Height Of Clouds
Portland, Maine. (UP)—Portland residents who thought they saw the northern lights at unusual times and places have been reassured.
Instead of viewing aurora borealis, they have been watching a new weather bureau instrument, the cellometer, which measures the height of clouds.
The ceilometer consists of a powerful mercury-arc lamp which projects a fixed beam for three miles. When the beam strikes a cloud, it is reflected to the weather bureau.
Victim Gets Help The Hard Way
St. Joseph, Mo. (UP)—Louis Lawrence is a man who believes in walking to the mountain if the mountain won't walk to him.
In injured in an automobile accident Lawrence walked two blocks to a funeral home, climbed in an ambulance and yelled:
"Take me to a hospital."
Ambulance attendants drove him to a hospital—one block away.
Wage Earner Can Buy As Much As In 1942
Washington. (UF)—The average wage earner has about the same real buying power now that he had four years ago, preliminary and unofficial figures revealed today.
In October, 1942, when the stabilization program was begun, the price index stood at 119 points nad weekly wages averaged $38.39. In October, 1946, the price index was 148.4 while weekly wages averaged $45.83.
Some government sources feared, however, that a prolonged coal strike would knock the economy off balance by producing any or all of these results: fresh scarcities of raw materials; mass unemployment which would reduce purchasing power and lessen consumer demand; higher consumer prices caused by the increased production costs which a coal wage boost might bring.

"Some of the old-timers must look pretty strange to you. But not to me . . . I made all of them."
"I started making telephone apparatus of all sorts in 1877...did such a good job that I was asked to join the Bell Telephone team way back in 1882.
"Telephone users get more and better service for their money in this country than anywhere else in the world. I've helped to make this possible by efficient manufacturing of uniform, high quality equipment . . . by volume purchasing of all manner of supplies for the Bell Telephone Companies . . . by distributing to them, through my warehouses
in 29 principal cities, the telephone equipment I make and the supplies I buy . . . by skillful installation of central office equipment. That is a huge job . . . especially now when the demand for telephone service is at an all-time peak.
"Remember my name . . . it's Western Electric."
