Not very pretty, is it? But this is a typical out-of-the-front-window view from one of the 300 veterans' apartments at Sunflower Village. The view is drab, the surroundings are barracks-like, but the ex-servicement's wives and children (nearly everyone has or is having children) remain loyal. Becky Vallette, the Daily Kansan's managing editor, and Ralph Andrea, a Daily Kansan photographer, have done an interesting and searching job in portraying the Village and its life, on Page 4 today.

Long GM Strike Finally Ends
Detroit. (UP)—General Motors corporation and the CIO United Auto Workers reached an agreement today to end the 113-day GM strike.
The settlement, announced after a surprise all-night bargaining session, provides an $18^{1}$ cents hourly wage increase for 175,000 striking General Motors employees in 92 plants in 50 cities.
Under union rules, the strikers must ratify the peace pact before it becomes effective.
Developments leading to the agreement came rapidly, and included a continuous 17½ hour conference sat started at 4:30 p.m. yesterday and broke what had appeared to be a hopeless deadlock as the strike entered its 17th week.

Russia Sends More Troops To Iran, Washington Hears
Washington. (UP)—Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala declared today that Russia, in dispatching troop reinforcements to Iran, has gone beyond the "war-of-nerves" stage and is now bringing direct military pressure against his government.
Ala called at the State department as the United States sought an explanation from Russia of new troop movements in Iran which have brought US Soviet relations to a critical
No More Tickets To Aggie Game Council Finds
A number of students will not get tickets to the Kansas-Oklahoma A and M. basketball game in Kansas City, Monday night, the All-Student Council learned today after an interview with E.C. Quigley, athletic director.
A system for students to have priority on tickets to important out-ofown athletic events may be worked out for the future, athletic officials said.
At the A.S.C. meeting last night Lois Thompson, traditions committee chairman in charge of game plans, reported that 3,000 tickets had been placed on sale on the campus, 2,000 of which are for students. All these tickets have been reserved, and a large group of students who desire to attend the game has been unable to get tickets, she added.
The Council resolved to investigate the situation, and the traditions committee, with Betty Ball and Guy Aschcraft as ex officio members, met with the athletic director this morning.
A motion made by Wendell Nickell to have a committee appointed to cope with any activities Monday night for a "victory holiday" was approved, and a committee was selected to plan a rally or dance Tuesday, if K.U. wins the game. The committee consists of Billie Hamilton, chairman, Richard Nelson, Shirley Wellborn, and Nickell.
The U.S. request for an explanation was based on reliable reports that three Red army combat columns of tanks and cavalry were reinforcing Russian troops already in Iran.
The Iranian embassy here heard reports that some of the new Red army forces had penetrated to within 20 miles of Tehran. One column, the embassy said, was reported streaking toward the frontier between Iraq and Iran. Both Iranian and U.S. officials here believed the Russians were headed for the eastern border of Turkey.
American officials were especially concerned by the possibility that Russia was extending her pressure to Iraq and Turkey.
The ambassador said he believed the Soviet troop movements were part of a Russian plan to change the Iranian government.
In Tehran, meanwhile, Premier Ahmed Ghavam said he had no official confirmation of "certain rumors" about new Russian troop movements. He said he would investigate them.
He indicated the Russians may be seeking a government which would "invite" Red troops to Iran or approve their retention in the country. If the situation comes up at the Security Council meeting in New York, Ala said, then the Soviets can tell the council that their troops were in Iran by agreement with the new Iranian government.
He said he would investigate. The U.S. information was that three Soviet combat columns, made up of armored tanks and cavalry, were on the move in Iran. Instead of withdrawing the estimated 30,000 to 60,000 Red army troops already in the country, Russia is reinforcing them, according to the State department.
Survey Begins With 'K.U. Men,' Ends With 'Women'—But Natch

University women can add more information and comments to Webster's definition. According to them, man's characteristics include low whistles, loud ties and loud voices, usually found in stag lines, bull sessions, and on parties and picnics.
Most of the women say "He's..."

Some more personalized comments on men in general and men on the campus in particular were requested from campus characters and Betty Jo O'Neil, Gamma Phi Beta, responded quickly with:

Terry Harriott, Phi Kappa Psi:
"What do I think of Hill men?"—scolw and snort-"There are too doggone many of 'em."
Miss Martha Peterson, Pan Hellenic advisor: "They are a lovely addition to our campus. They seem more sincere and hard working than ever before."
Maxine Jones, Corbin hall:
"Goodbye to bridge parties, cat sessions, and tea parties."
Dr. R. H. Wheeler, department of psychology: "The returned veteran is more mature and conventional. He seeks more stable relationships with women than before the war. Men deliberately spoil women, and the women, competing for men, have nothing to do but let themselves get spoiled. Women should not be so aggressive."

were rather nice.
That statement shifted the survey on "What about men?" to a discussion on women again, so a remark made by a certain long-haired politicion should be reported.
This female propped her feet up on her desk, leaned back, lit a cigar and asked, 'Why all this talk about men? Men should be seen and not heard—the BWOC is here to stay.' ___
