Voting At UN Mock Conference Will Reflect K.U. 'World' Attitude
487024
Voting at the mock United Nations conference Saturday in Hoch auditorium will show not only the sentiments of the nations of the security but also the way K.U. students are thinking on world problems, Donald Ong, chairman of the planning committee, said today
Students who have not signed up for active participation but who wish to attend the conference as spectators may ask any questions they wish during the sessions, Ong stated. The audience will be polled by written slips.
by written instructions.
The various issues will be discussed, followed by a polling of the security council. This poll will show the attitude the 11 nations actually have toward the problems. A vote of the general assembly will be taken, in which students will be asked to respond with their individual opinions. Ong explained. This will give K.U. students' attitudes toward these same issues.
SATELLITE 90-minute rest period from 10:55 a.m. to 11:05 a.m., has been arranged before the discussions of the Spanish question by Robert Bock and atomic bomb control by Richard Scovel.
Committee reports will be given at 10:15. The committees and the representatives who will report from them are trusteeship, Kathleen Howland; scocial, humanitarian, and cultural, Dale Judy; legal, Shirley Wellborn; political and security, Terry Herritt; economic and financial committee, Patricia Creel, and economic and social council, Keith Wilson.
The morning session will begin at 10 a.m. with the welcoming address by Chancellor Deane W, Malott.
The economic and social council is the only one of the committees provided for by the Constitution of the United Nations and includes 18 nations. The other five committees were set up by the U.N. to conduct their own business in general assembly.
Peace treaties will be discussed during the afternoon session beginning at 2 p.m. Paul Mason will lead the discussion on the German treaty, Jim Crook on the Japanese treaty, and Hal Friesen on the Italian peace treaty.
Another 10-minute rest period will precede a summary by Buford Trebble, who will act as commentator.
The closing address by Norman Hill, author and political scientist, will begin at 3:25 p.m. Mr. Hill will be available for informal questioning after the conference adjourns, Ong said.
Tables for the delegates will be placed on the basketball floor in the shape of a V, coming to a point at the foot of the stage, Ong said. A
raised platform will be placed at the point for the use of the commentator. A microphone will be placed on this platform and another microphone on the stage on which the speakers will be seated.
Phillips, Inventor Of'Network Analyzer, To Instruct at K.U.
Emery B. Phillips, inventor of a "machine that will do nearly everything but think," will join the staff of the electrical engineering department in July, Dean J. O. Jones of the Engineering school announced today.
The "network analyzer" will solve any problem that can be expressed in algebraic terms. Simultaneous equations with an infinite number of unknowns can be solved by adding the required number of operating units to the original machine.
The "analyzer" will be delivered in July, Dean Jones said. It was originally scheduled to arrive in April.
Mr. Phillips will supervise the operation of his machine in addition to teaching several electrical engineering courses. He is on now on the Oklahoma A.M. staff at Stillwater, Okla.
All the electrical circuits of the most complicated power system can be simulated in miniature on the analyzer. Mathematical computations which could take months to complete can be determined in minutes or hours.
The machine also may be used for studying the transmission of sound, high frequency radio waves, flow of heat, and the flow of water or other fluids through pipe systems. Studies in these fields at the University will be made by research staffs and advanced students.
Sociology Club Meets Tonight
Miss Dorothy Einert of the South- hard school of Topeka will speak at a meeting of the Sociology club in room 110 Fraser hall at 7:30 p.m. today. Her subject will be the group work program at the Southhard school. Election of officers will be held.

'Step Up Folks,' The Carnival's Coming to Town
"Step right up folks, try your skill, only one cent, one hundredth part of a dollar, hurry . . . hurry."
Such sounds will come from the Military Science building tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. when the University band and orchestra hold their spring carnival. The carnival is for members of the band and orchestra. It is the first one the organizations have held, according to Frank Stalzer, student band director.
A dozen booths featuring everything from ring tosses and penny pitching to gambling with roulette and dice games, will be the central attraction, Stalzer said.
Bob Wilson's band from Kansas City will play for the dance beginning at 9 p.m.
A floor show of band and visiting talent will present a program at intermission, Prof. Russell Wiley said.
About 75 persons attended the initiation meeting of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical association in Bailey Chemical laboratories Tuesday night. J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, presided.
Pharmacists Attend Initiation Meeting
Students who assisted Prof. Donald Brodie in organizing the student branch of the association are Wayne Curry, sophomore; Marvin Inloes, freshman; Amy Rasher, junior; and Ella May Nail, senior.
Of the 79 members enrolled in the School of Pharmacy, 72 have joined the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical association, Dean Reese announced.
Out of town guests who attended the meeting and who were guests of the pharmacy staff at a dinner held in the Kansas room prior to the meeting were Gene Cook, '17, president of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association; Warren Morris, '10, vicepresident of the K.P.A., and Mrs. Morris; Mrs. Clara Miller, K.P.A. secretary; Roy Jaquith, '27, treasurer of the Kansas State Board of Pharmacy and Mrs. Jacquit

Bikini Test To Show Heat, Pressure Effects
But at a press conference today, the technical directors of the tests said that their primary interest is in the supersolar heat the bomb develops, its unearthly pressures, and the weird nuclear effects.
Washington, (UP) — When the atomic bombs go off at Blikini atoll this summer, the main scientific interest will be not in what their super blast does to target naval ships but in the efficiency with which their insides are converted into energy.
The tests have been advertised as being designed primarily to find out the effect of the new weapon on navies.
Rear Adm. William S. Parsons, deputy commander of the tests and the navy's number one nuclear physicist, said scientists hoped to take advantage of the category of myth and to reduce it to an understandable reality.
Their secondary interest will be in the
steel, fighting ships.
"The first priority," he said, "is to test the bomb as something producing temperatures such as were never observed before on this earth, and to measure its tremendous pressures.
"The second priority will be to measure the effect of the bomb on birds."
Among the things scientists will
Adviser of Women Will Retire
This is the latest camera study of Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, affectionateiy known as "Liz," who will retire as adviser of women at the end of the present semester. Miss Meguiar came to the University home economics department in 1917, and will continue her teaching duties there. She has been adviser of women 12 years. (Daily Kansan photo by Max Kernaghan.)
Scotch Is Scotch, But Where Can You Buy It Now, Anyway?
Chicago. (UP)—Ten whisky-gulping experts came up for air today and decided that Scotch is Scotch, whether it's made in Scotland or the United States.
The ten self-styled experts announced their findings after taking a blindfold test in which they tasted four brands of imported Scotch and two brands of domestic, Scotch-type whisky.
The test was held by the Illinois state liquor control commission, which wanted to prove that domestic Scotch is just as good as Scottish Scotch.
Charles Fleck, chairman of the commission, said the test had proved it. Hereafter, he said, Illinois will relax its whiskey law, so that domestic brands may be labeled American Scotch, instead of Scotch-type whiskey or imitation Scotch.
The test was conducted in the office of the Illinois commerce commission. The first official imbiber was Ben Paul, who owns a wholesale liquor company. Paul said he ought to know. He buys thousands of gallons of Scotch every year.
So he sniffed and sipped and missed four out of six guesses.
Frank Weaver, president of the Illinois liquor store association, did better. He got four out of six right.
"After two drinks," said John Mack, hotel president, "all it proved to me was that Scotch is something to drink and I wanted more."
Bald-headed James O'Brien, editor of the Illinois Beverage Journal, was the last man at the bar. He downed six drinks in a hurry and guessed right six times.
"Which proves what?" he asked. "I never drink Scotch anyway. I'm a Bourbon man."
Then he added:
"The whole thing is inconclusive because where can you buy Scotch now anyway?"
Richardson Takes Office

Dr. Ralph A Sawyer, technical director of Operation Crossroads, said the tests will be "one of the most elaborate scientific experiments ever carried out" with about 100 scientists and technicians participating.
Engineers Developed Bomb, Vagtborg Says
"Today's science is tomorrow's engineering and the next day's industry," Dr. Harold A. Vaatborg, president of the Midwest Research Institute of Kansas City, told about 300 persons at the annual Engineer Banquet Wednesday night.
"An excellent example of this is the atom bomb." Dr. Vagtborg said. "This bomb was experimented with by scientists for a number of years, but engineers developed it for working use and industry produced it."
Dr. Vagtborg stressed the importance of "Imagineering" to the group.
"Just because science has conducted research on a new method or device nad has failed to attain success, don't consider the task impossible. Application of basic knowledge rather than carrying on the reearch of others is many times helpful. Just remember that where others may fail you may succeed." Dr. Vagtborg concluded.
Haskell Dean Heads University Club
Madison Coombs, dean of men at Haskell institute, was elected president of the University club at a meeting Wednesday.
Other officers elected were vicepresident, G. W. Bradshaw, professor of civil engineering; treasurer, Verner F. Smith, associate professor of architecture; secretary, Elmer F. Beth, associate professor of journalism; and board of governors, D. S. Gray, professor of mechanical engineering, and Joseph Traylor lawrence business man.
