Big Four Enters Critical Showdown
Paris. (UP)—The Big Four talks on Europe entered their most critical stage today with a final showdown on Trieste imminent.
Negotiations on Trieste seemed likely to decide the success or failure of the entire conference, and will determine whether a peace conference will be possible this summer.
House Approves Veteran Housing Bill
Washington. (UP) - The house today approved a compromise version of the administration's veterans housing bill providing for $400,000,-000 in subsidies for production of scarce building materials.

10 Colleges Send Delegates To UN Meet Here
Dr. Norman Hill, chairman of the political science department at the University of Nebraska, will speak on "The United Nations and the Possibility of Permanent Peace" at the mock U.N. conference in Hoch auditorium Saturday, Donald Ong, chairman of the planning committee, said today.
Delegates from 10 midwestern colleges are planning to attend the conference, Ong said. Kansas State, which recently held an International Security assembly, will send five persons. The University of Missouri also will sent five delegates.
Atomic bomb control, the Spanish question, and the Japanese, German, and Italian peace treaties will be discussed during the sessions from 10 a.m. until noon and from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
On each issue, students will be asked to vote as individuals and not to give the views of the nations concerned. Conclusions as to what K.U. students are thinking on each question will be the result of this conference. Ong said.
Officers of the conference, speakers and secretaries will be seated on the stage. The basketball floor will be cleared and tables and chairs set up for delegates. Some seats will be retained for spectators.
All issues will be presented in general assembly. No sessions of the security council will be held, because the participating nations then would be limited to 11, Ong explained.
A raised platform will be set up below the stage where Buford Trible, special student in the College and radio announcer at WREN, will see as commentator to summarize issues before votes are taken.
Each organized house to which one of the 27 major countries of the United Nations has been assigned is studying two questions, Ong explained. Four or five nations are considering each question. A person has been appointed to summarize the questions of each nation, and another will summarize for the four or five nations on each question.

Regents Approve Student Bookstore, Increase In Fees, Allen's Resignation Bookstore Ready This Fall. Werner Says Allen To Devote Full Time to Coaching Incidental Fee Upped $15 A Semester
K. U.'s student bookstore will become a reality this fall, according to Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, if a manager can be found and contracts made for securing books in time for the semester opening.
The Board of Regents approved the bookstore which will sell books and supplies for classrooms and laboratories, in their meeting here Friday.
Interviewing of applicants for bookstore manager will begin Tuesday afternoon in the office of Karl Klooz, bursar, and will be conducted by a sub-committee of the Union operating committee, Dean Werner announced.
"Whoever is accepted must be an experienced bookstore manager," he said, "since he will make contacts with the faculty about the order list, and will be responsible for finding and ordering the books."
Arrangements will be made to convert the sub-basement of the Union into space for the bookstore immediately after this semester is completed, Dean Werner said.
The bookstore will absorb all of the present offices in the sub-base-basement of the Union, the W.E.C. book exchange, 17 feet of the recreation room and part of the hallway. The south door will not be open except for the delivery of books, and as an employees entrance, he said.
"One of the big questions is where to put these offices which must be vacated," Dean Werner commented. "We are going to try to build three offices between the two pillars and the east wall in the men's lounge in the union," he said, "but this has not yet been approved by the operating committee."
Her Roommate Really Put Her Foot Into It
Today Martha is ready to give her senior recital, but her cello isn't ready. And judging from the cello's looks, it never will be ready.
Four years Martha Lee Baxter has been looking forward to the day when she and her cello would be presented in a senior recital.
Another cell won't do for Martha As she's only five feet and 90 pounds of cellist, she has been using a three-quarter size cello, end the School of Fine Arts can't locate another similar cello anywhere around.
Martha was practicing yesterday and set the cello down when she went to answer the telephone. Her roommate came into the room, failed to see the cello, stepped right in the middle of it, and made it good only for termite food.
Alpha Phi Omega Initiates 13 At Dinner Meeting Sunday
Thirteen new members were initiated into Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, at a dinner Sunday night at the Hearth.
Martha may be able to give her senior recital later, but until a cello can be found, the recital scheduled for tonight has been postponed indefinitely.
Initiates are Richard Houseworth, Fred Gableman, Warren Shaw, Sidney Johanson, George Waugh. Lawrence Exley, John Awald, Cecil Chapplewol, Floyd Eoosman, Thornton Cooke, Charles Smith, Oren Stanley, and Robert Franklin.
Dr. F. C. Allen will resign as chairman of the physical education department July 1 and devote his full basketball and teaching, Chancellor Deane W. Ma-

teaching, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
Henry Shenk, head football coach last fall, will replace Dr. Aller as head of the department, Chancellor Malott said.
Dr. Edwin R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education since 1939, will be in charge of research and graduate programs in the department.
Dr. Allen first coached the K.U. basketball team in 1908 and 1909. He then left the University, returning in 1919 to serve as professor of physical education and basketball coach. He has never coached a lastplace team.
In addition to turning out championship teams, he has written two books, "My Basketball Bible" and "Better Basketball" and is the author of "Organization and Administration of Physical Education and Athletics in Higher Education."
He is one of the founders of the National Basketball Coaches association, has served on the National Rules committee, and associated in the founding of the N.C.A.A tournament. In 1936, he was responsible for basketball's first spot in the Olympic games. He was an organizer of the Kansas Relays.
Dr. Allen will continue in his present position of professor of physical education and will teach classes in professional curriculum in the department.
Shenk, a K.U. graduate, acted as football coach from 1943 to 1945. He was made instructor in physical education in 1941, assistant professor in 1942.
Elbel, recently returned from the Army air forces, was a member of the research staff in the Aviation school of medicine, Randolph Field, Texas, during most of his service career.
Smith Attends Law Institute Convention
Composed of judges, lawyers, and law teachers, this institute has been working for the last 25 years on rephrasing the American common law," Dean F. J. Moreau, of the School of Law, said.
Professor Smith is a life member of the organization which is meeting at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Prof. J. B. Smith left Saturday to attend the 23rd annual convention of the American Law institute in Philadelphia.
Fees for the summer session and other short terms will increase proportionately.
Students' incidental fees will increase $15 a semester, and all laboratory and class fees will be abolished, effective immediately, the state board of regents decided at its meeting Friday in Chancellor Deane W. Malott's office.
Students in laboratory courses will continue to pay for any breakage of equipment.
The change will apply to all schools of the University excepting the School of Medicine. Resident medicine students will pay $100, instead of the present $30, while non-resident medicine students' fees will increase from $85 to $175.
Fine Arts students will continue to pay extra charges for private music lessons, and for the rental of practice instruments.
"This increase in the incidental fee from $25 to $40 is really a convenience to the students," Chancellor Malott said. "It will eliminate their paying several small extra fees at the Business office, and having to get refunds and pay other fees when they change classes."
The University will obtain little additional revenue from the change, he said, for additional cost to students not enrolled in any courses with extra fees will be offset by the savings to others in courses with large laboratory charges. The University catalog lists about 300 courses with additional laboratory or course charges.
Students To Pay $5 Yearly Union Fee
A $ 5 yearly Union fee has been established at the University at the request of the All-Student Council and the Union Operating committee, Chancellor Deane W. Malott has announced.
The money obtained will be used to finance the Union's operation and the addition planned for the building. Chancellor Malott explained.
First of these will be a one-story structure to the north, with soda fountain facilities, he said. Charles Marshall, state architect, is completing plans for the addition, which will be constructed as soon as labor and materials are available, probably this summer.
The state board of regents approved the establishment of the fee Friday.
"The Kansas statutes require such a fee, if the Union plans to expand," Chancellor Malott said.
Summer session students will pay a $2 Union fee.
