Allen Replaces Sandelius As Poli Sci Head
Prof. Ethan Allen has replaced Prof. Walter Sandelius as chairman of the political science department, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Professor Allen, director of the K.U. bureau of government research and briefly director of the Western Civilization course, took over his duties at the end of the recent summer session.
Head of the department the past two years, Professor Sandelius was acting chairman of political science from 1937-44.
Professor Sandelius still holds his rank as a full professor and is teaching a full course schedule, including Western Civilization, which he is now directing.
Both the appointment of Dr. Allen as chairman and the naming of Professor Sandelius as director of the Western Civilization course were actions taken at the request of Chancellor Deane W. Malott, the Daily Kansan learned.
Prof. Hilden Gibson, also of the political science department, was director of the Western Civilization course last year. When he left the campus to do advanced research at Harvard university, the faculty committee in charge of the course voted Professor Allen as director.

When the department chairmanship was changed, the class director also was changed by the chancellor without action by the committee.
No previous announcement of the departmental change was made because it is against University administration policy to make a formal statement on such shifts of departmental personnel.
Pijade said the two western powers "are trying to build a Chinese wall, not to say an iron curtain, between Trieste and Yugoslavia."
Pijade claimed even Anglo-American military authorities in Trieste realize the people of that area want to be incorporated as an autonomous republic in the Yugoslav federated republic, or at least be closely linked economically with Yugloslavia if the free zone is established.
Paris. (UP)—Mosha Pijade, Yugoslavia, accused the United States and Britain today of betraying the big four agreement on Trieste and trying to perpetuate a military base in the Adriatic port under their joint rule.

Convicted Nazis Prepare Appeals
Nueremberg. (UP) — Hermam Goering and the other 10 doomed Nazis conferred with attorneys today on appeals for clemency to the four-power Allied control council, knowing they had almost no chance of escaping the gallows Oct. 16.
The 11 men under death sentence, and the seven who received prison terms, have until Saturday night to enter appeals for lighter sentences.
An anti-suicide watch was placed on the doomed men as they began their final two weeks of life under rigid prison discipline. Even the papers which defense counsel showed them in preparing appeals were limited to legal documents. They were checked for concealed razor blades, files, and messages.
The four-power control council, which now has jurisdiction over the condemned and the seven Nazis who received prison terms, can only reduce sentences. It cannot reverse findings of guilty. Decisions of the council must be unanimous. Since Russia already has protested the tribunal's leniency, there seemed scant prospect the Russian representative would agree to clemency, even if the other three members desired.
Hjalmar Schacht, the stern financial expert acquitted by the international tribunal yesterday, asked permission to spend another day in the Nuernberg jail "because I am afraid of the German people."
Kansas—Fair today and tonight,

Informants said cases were being prepared against German industrialists, but the work had not yet been completed. U.S. Justice Robert H. Jackson was expected to press for an early decision on future Nazi trials.

'No Victory Holidays'A.S.C. Re-emphasizes
There'll be no official football holiday this year, the All-Student Council re-emphasized at its opening meeting Tuesday in the Union.

Guilfoyle Heads Club To Back Woodring
Bill Guilfoyle, first year law student, has been elected president of the KU. Woodring for Governor club, which has replaced the Young Democrats club for the duration of the gubernatorial campaign.

Speakers at the meeting last night were William "Brick" Murphy, former candidate for Congress from the third district, and M. L. Rexhroth of Topeka, state chairman of the Woodring for Governor campus clubs.
A second meeting of the club will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the Little Theater of Green hall.
Carlson-Woodring Meeting Is Urged
The Republican and Democratic candidates for governor of Kansas, Frank Carlson and Harry Woodring, may meet at the University for a discussion of political issues of the day, Beth Bell, secretary of the K.U. Woodring for Governor club, said today.
The club has placed itself on record as favoring the meeting and is pushing through arrangements in conjunction with the Young Republicans club.
Simultaneously, the Young Republicans challenged the Democratic group to a debate on the subject of resubmission of the controversial liquor amendment to the voters of Kansas. Fred Thomas, chairman of the club, suggested that the question be discussed by a five-man team from each of the two organizations.
Young Republicans To Charter Bus
A special bus will be chartered for delegates from the K.U. Young Republicans club going to the state convention of collegiate Republican groups in Topeka Friday and Saturday.
Short speeches were made at the meeting by Robert Groom, state collegiate chairman; Charles Stough, chairman of the Douglas county Young Republicans organization; Joseph Brown, a K.U. student who has been serving as secretary to Congressman Albert Cole; and Don Pomeroy, K.U. vice-chairman.

K-Books At Business Office
Students who don't have copies of the K-book, student manual, will be able to purchase them soon at the University business office. About 600 books are on hand, Bob Oberhelman, business manager, said today, and more are expected.
Senate findings and subsequent action on the matter were read to the Council by Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, who cautioned the student governing body to remember the senate's precedent-establishing decision "to celebrate" (The senate is a university governing body composed of faculty members with the rank of associate professor and above plus two representatives of the A.S.C.).
Dean Werner's report emphasized the senate's ruling that "any students participating in an unauthorized holiday are subject to a maximum penalty of dismissal from school."
Accompanying the report was a recommendation to the Council to take some action to meet future emergencies of this kind. The senate had previously rejected, by a vote of 120 to 3, a proposal to grant to grant a holiday following a football victory.
George Caldwell, College junior, rose to challenge the senate's action in ruling against athletic holidays, indicating some doubt as to whether such rulings were the prerogatives of the senate or the A.S.C. Howard Engleman, Council president, assured Caldwell that the senate had the power to act in such instances, according to University regulations.
Council action on Dean Werner's recommendation was the passing of a motion calling for presidential appointment of a committee to decide the question of student celebrations after athletic victories—with the senate's ruling to be in full force. The Council may provide for a victory celebration so long as it observes the senate's ruling, which will mean that any celebrations will have to come at night when no classes are scheduled.
Seven Council members were absent at the meeting. They were: Homer Evans, Leonard Dietrich, Ira Bartel, Gene Alford, Clyde Lunger, George Yeckel, and Glenn Warner, Warner is now in California.
New business included passing on a recommendation by the chancellor for a faculty advisory committee. The vote was unanimous. Members of the committee are: J. H. Nelson, dean of the Graduate school, Laurence Woodruff; Florence Black, associate professor of mathematics; and Margaret Habein, advisor of women. Dr. E. O. Stene, of the department of political science, was made honorary constitutional adviser by the Council.
President Engleman announced the vacancies left by Wendell Nickell, P.S.G.L. representative, and Glenn Warner, Fachacamac, will be filled after the prescribed two-week lapse from the date of official publication of the vacancies.
Campus social life also came under fire and the council agreed with Dean Werner's view that 9,000 students participating in extra-curricular activities does constitute something of a social bottleneck. However, after prolonged debate the group failed to accomplish anything more than a recommendation for the appointment of two new members to the social committee with the suggestion that the committee make plans for accommodating the enlarged student body.
The council also considered a provision for a representative from Sunflower village. President Engleman reminded the body that some member would have to give up his seat since A.S.C. regulations limit membership to 30 persons. No resignations were offered.
An increase of 50 cents on parking permits was brought before the council and, since no explanation was available, chairman Owen Peck promised to investigate.
