Independents Voice Neutrality
Council Asserts It Takes No Stand in Hill Politics; P.S.G.L. Defends Platform
Members Free To Vote, Says Louis Fockele
The Independent Student Association today stuck a wary head into Hill politics long enough to warn party leaders it wanted no part in the coming election—then promptly withdrew.
In a resolution which spoke for the I.S.A. said represented the policy of the organization's national executive board the Campus council said its members as a body "has no political sympathies" and that the purpose of the group here is "to improve the social relationships and activities of independent students."
Louis Foekele, c39, president of the Campus LSA, made public the resolution which the council adopted unanimously in a meeting last night. It follows: A P.S.C. Block
"Although individual members of the Independent Student Association re-free to do as IAS, I ASA has no political sympathies. The ISA is an organization the purpose of which is to improve the social relationship between independent students. It has no place in politics. It is politically, a heterogeneous group. In addition, there are women in men's politics."
The resolution followed an announcement yesterday of the election platform of Progressive Student Government League in which one plank pledged "hearty accord" with the aim of the L.S.A. and promised "substantial financial support from the M.S.C."
No 'Slap' Intended
Focclele said it was not the aim of the LSA. council to "slap" P.S.GL for its promised support but rather to impress upon student members of the independent organization that is making no political alliances.
He said the council expressed fear that the organization will become a political football with the result being internal strife and disorganization. Speakers at the recent national convention here stressed the importance of member organizations remaining apart from controversial questions in their schools, he asserted.
The Society of Pachacamac, P.S.-G.L.'s regular political opponent, in its platform for the spring election in 1938, pledged support to the LSA. similar to that which the League currently is proposing.
Group Strong Now
Members of the I.S.A. council said that this aid from the MSC, and W.S.G.A. was necessary in the spring of 1038. They said the I.S.A. "now is strong enough to stand on its own legs and desires no help from any group that might involve it in Hill polities."
In a meeting of the M.S.C. earlier this spring, both parties supported a resolution which stated the Men's Student Council would not take action on any bills concerning the A.U., until after the spring election.

Miss Meguiar's Statement
"I subscribe to the statement of Mr. Fockele wholeheartedly, believing that the function of the Independent Student Association is purely social in the broad sense of the word. Independent members have the right to take part in politics but the organization as a whole will function better if it remains clear of politics.

Adviser to Women

Leonard Says I.S.A. Plank Is Just an Offer
Wilbur Leonard, c'39, president of the Progressive Student Government League today explained the stand of his party in regard to a platform plank promising financial aid to the Independent Student Association.
The party, Leonard continued, decided that the Independents needed friends on the Men's Student Council at the time when an I.S.A. request for funds was turned down by that legislative body.
The P.S.G.L. plank, Leonard said, "is not an attempt at all to take over the LSA. or make it a political football, but rather to insure adequate aid to a worthwhile organization."
The party leader said, "At the time when the Engineers received their appropriation, Bill Farmar, '41, on the basis of a letter received from Louis Fockele, c39, president of the I.S.A., moved to grant an I.S.A. appropriation of $50 to take care of an emerger's property in the Independent' national convention. The motion was subsequently defeated."
According to Leonard, no attempt has been made by the FSGL. to subsidize the LSA. "PSG.LL," he said, "has always stood ready to back the LSA. in any venture they have undertaken."
He added, "This is our position now—we have no intention of forcing financial assistance on the organization, but we will give them any support they desire in the future."

San Francisco, April 12-(UP)
—Culture in the hills of higher learning took a new outlet in California schools today, the fish gulping supplanted by kissing and lapping games. Marshall state college, kissed 40 girls in two minutes to win a bet.
Head of the department of organ at the College of the Pacific since 1922, the soloist received his early instruction in organ under Rodney Saylor and Charles Galloway. His annual recitals at the College of the Pacific have attracted wide attention in northern California.
An apology must be tendered to Naramore, who will not be the half-
The last part of the program consisted of "Organ Concerto in F Major" (Handel); "Pave Pastorale" (Ravel); "Ave Maris Stella" (Dupré); "Fireside Fancies" (Clokey); "The Girl of the Flaxen Hat" (Deubuss); and "Toccata in Modern Style" by Bacon.
Mr. Bason's program included:
"Prelude and Fugue in C Minor (Bach); four choral settings, 'Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring,' "The Walk to Jerusalem," "All Glory, Laud, and Honor," and "Be Bad, Glad All Ye Christian Men," "God is My Theme" ("Barres"), "Canon in E Major" ("Major Reger") and "Prelude on the old 136th Psalm" ("Charles Wood").
Of course, the main attraction is the play, but to a roving reporter the chorus seems to add a lot of meat to the program. In fact, the dauresan, if they feed well on the night of the festival, would believe a good 200 pounds on the hoof.
Organ playing such as is seldom heard at the University was presented in Hao auditorium last night when Allen Bacon, organist of the College of the Pacific, played a program of well-known compositions as a part of the University concert course.
Several of the chorus seemed a bit stiff in their joints while keeping to the song hit "Ain't She Sweet!", but it isn't anything that a rubbdown won't remove, Sullivan said.
At the University of California students, without the help of silverware, ate bowls of melted ice cream and gravity to show something or other and win bets. Harold Forst J., lapped his gravy in 19 seconds. His face was pretty dirty.

New Chancellor Is'Her'Boy
Speaks at Denver.
This is not the first time Miss Lear has heard Deane Malott called "Chancellor." While attending the University of hears Malott was on the Quill Club, organization for aspiring young writers. The head of the Quill Club bears the title of "Chancellor" and conducts Malott's lectures at this university some eighteen years ago.
At that time he worked in the Dean's office under the supervision of Miss Lear, recording grades, working on transcripts, and attending to the dean's correspondence. If Miss Lear should ever consent to talk, she could probably tell many things about prominent men of today, who have at one time worked under her.
Miss Lear is very retinent in her thoughts about the new Chancellor but she nods knowingly as if she is thinking that many of "her boys" are successful men in the business world today. The work in her office is done entirely by students in the University.
By Shirley Smith, c. 195
Deane Malot may be Chancellor of the University of Kansas to most people but he still is just "one of my boy" to Veta Lear, assistant to the dean of the College.

Need Fresh Viewpoint, Grover Says
- Manhattan Professor
  Opens First Session of
  Fifth Annual Welding
  Conference
By Alva Powell, c'39
We can remove uncertainty in no better way than through research, LaMotte Grover, professor in the department of applied mechanics of "ansr State College at Manhattan, told his audience this morning in Marvin hall auditorium, in an address entitled "Research Welding."
In the opening address of the fifth annual welding conference at the University Professor Grover stressed the fact that what is needed in the field of welding and architecture is a fresh viewpoint. "Young men must revise the past drastically if advantages of economy are to be achieved."
Universities and colleges should realize that to keep up with the present age well equipped engineering schools must be provided for, greater demand for trained young men in the field than ever before.
We can learn much regarding welding by paying close attention to what is going on in foreign countries, he explained. "Welding in foreign countries is good for us to study, not that they know more than it, but that they are willing to talk more about it than us."
Two Important Aspects
Students studying in the field of welding have two important aspects toward which to strive. First, approved appearance of all welding jobs and second, elimination of noise in electrical welding. We are prone today to emphasize more what we did than how we did it, he said.
Failure in practically all instances is due to three things, Glover said: First, poor material; second, poor design; third, lack of work and workmanship in general. F. C. Hutchinson, chief development engineer of the Linde Air Products company, was second speaker on the program. His topic of discussion was "Unionism Process." He emphasized the importance of research in this particular field and especially in the laboratory.
Unionnet welding is one of the most technical processes of all high speed welding today, he explained. Ivan C. Crawford, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, presided and Chancellor E. H. Lindley welcomed the delegates with a short address.
Approximately forty delegates had registered today at noon, some two hundred are expected by tomorrow, according to Dean Crawford.
Prof. W. C. McNown, head of the department of civil engineering, presided over the meeting at 1:30 this afternoon. A. M. Ockerblad, associate professor of applied mechanics; E. W. P. Smith, consulting engineer, Lincoln Electric company, Cleveland, Ohio; A. M. Kugler, Air Reduction Sales company, New York City; and J. A. Halk, Kansas
