A.S.C. To Give $500 To Aid Foreign Students
A $500 appropriation for foreign student scholarships was approved by the All Student Council in a meeting last night.
Carolyn Nigg, chairman of the foreign student scholarship committee, told members that K.U. has a proportionally lower number of foreign students than most universities, due to the failure of the state legislature to waive fees and to a lack of scholarships.
The proposed fund would aid students from China, and the Eastern European countries, as it is believed that the economic need there is greater than in Latin and South America.
Franzena Jackson, Negro representative to the council, recommended that the A.S.C. take action on Negro housing problems. She reported that before the Union cafeteria was opened Sundays, Negro women were forced to eat from cans, if they failed to make other provisions for weekend eating, and that their expenses were higher in comparison to students because of the necessity of eating out so often.
Miss Jackson, Mary Zollinger, George Caldwell and Emily Hollis were appointed to recommend to the administration that it take action for better Negro housing.
The council approved a request by George Caldwell that Prof. W. W. Davis, K. U. representative at the Big-Six athletic conference Friday and Saturday, initiate a motion at the meeting to abolish racial discrimination in the Big-Six conference.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs; Leslie Waters, economics professor, and Wendell Nickell, student representative, were appointed to a committee to select a manager for the co-operative book store which will be opened next fall. One applicant has been interviewed to date, but not accented.
Emily Hollis reported that a dozen tile cigarette disposal containers soon will be placed in the basement of Frank Strong hall by the buildings and grounds department.
Anna Stevens and Shirley Wellborn were appointed to investigate the hiring of a psychiatrist for the University.
Donald Ong, president of the International Relations club, was granted an appropriation of $100 to be used for the United Nations conference here Saturday.
The council voted to draft a letter ai the O.P.A. requesting the renewal of rationing in accordance with the food conservation drive which will begin on the campus this week.
it was reported that Gayle Mott, equitation instructor, has leased he Elmer Brown farm and is willing to let the University use it for recreational purposes.

Teen-Age Boys Get Draft Reprieve
Washington. (UP) — Teen - age boys, prime source of new military manpower, today received a 45-day reprieve in stop-gap legislation extending the selective service act until July 1.
The senate passed the houseapproved extension bill less than six hours before selective service was scheduled to expire last midnight.
A war department spokesman said the ban on inducting youths of 18 and 19 would disrupt the army almost as much as complete stoppage of the draft. Few desirable men remain available in the group aged 20 through 29—the only ones now eligible.
As finally approved by congress, the stop-gap bill extended the draft authority for 45 days. In the interim, congressional leaders hoped to work out a one-year extension without such restrictions.
Most of the single men in the age group who have not already seen military service have been combed over and over by selective service boards.
Selective service officials said that there were only about 72,000 potentially eligible men in the 20 through 29 group, and that about half of these would probably be rejected for physical disability. The others—deferred during the war or recently re-classified—could be called up immediately if necessary, selective service said.
But the house amendments cut off the only good source of new manpower that the army wants during the 45-day extension—the 18 and 19-year-olds. The house stipulated that only single men 20 through 29 may be taken.
Selective service recently has been drafting single men 18 to 25. The age limit of 25 and the present ban on drafting fathers were matters of regulation, not law.
It was estimated that around 30.000 might be obtained from this group.
Spring Semester Examinations Begin June 6
Examinations will begin June 6 and continue through June 13.
You can start planning your train schedule back to "ye old hometown" now, because the examination schedule was released by the chancellor's office today.
Students enrolled in Spanish, German, and French, I, II, will have examinations not exceeding one hour and 50 minutes, although the courses are five, four, and three hours.
The schedule is arranged so that it is seldom possible to have two examinations scheduled for the same afternoon or morning, but persons having 12:30 and 4:30 classes may find themselves in this situation.
Excluding these exceptions the schedule is similar to the one for last year with five, four, and three hour courses having examinations lasting two hours and 50 minutes, and two and one hour course examinations scheduled for one hour and 50 minute periods.
Gibson Gets Leave To Work at Harvard On 'Human Relations'
Hilden Gibson, associate professor of political science, will be granted a year's leave of absence from the University next fall when he will go to Harvard university on a fellowship to do human relations work, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Gibson was chosen by the University for the fellowship and will be doing the same type of work as Dr. Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology, who is now at Harvard on a one-year appointment as research associate in human relations.
Ethan Allen, political science professor, will direct the Western Civilization course during the coming year, Professor Gibson said.
Three or four other universities will be represented by staff members selected as research associates, he added. Colgate, Ohio State, and Kansas are the three universities which are represented in human relations at Harvard at the present time.
Mr. Gibson plans to resume his teaching duties here in the fall of 1947, he said.
'Spiking' Case Recommendations Go To Full I-F Council
Results of an Inter-Fraternity executive council hearing on the alleged "spiking" of a high school student by Phi Gamma Delta will go to a meeting of the full Inter-Fraternity council Monday for final decision, Keith Bunnel, council president, told the Daily Kansan today.
The Phi Gams had been accused of "spiking" Charles Steeper, Lawrence High school senior, in violation of Section I of Article 7 of the council constitution, which prohibits any action "deterimental to the fraternity system" on the K.U. campus
A penalty will be recommended for the action, but "this may be changed or entirely rejected by the full council." Bunnel pointed out.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy and cooler today with diminishing showers central and east ending during the day. Clearing and cooler tonight, low 37-42 northwest to 50-55 southeast.
