General Motors' officials, however, stressed the fact that the plan is not an annual wage program.
The income security plan is applicable to all hourly wage employees having five or more years service who are in the employ during December, 1983. Sharon was quoted as saying,
The plan was devised to provide for employees during slack production periods when operating sched-ing is possible to keep a full force at work.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 14—(UP)—General Motors corporation today announced an "income security plan" guaranteeing a weekly year-around income to 150,000 hourly wage workers.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., General Motors board chairman, announced that the plan would become effective Jan. 1 for all hourly wage employees who have worked two or more years.
Sloan said the program would be divided into two parts to be known as General Motors income security plan and the General Motors layoff benefit plan. It provides that an employee when laid off can borrow a loan from the corporation to be paid back when he returns to work.

Japan Will Continue Conquest of China
Shanghai, Tuesday, Nov. 15.—(UP) Japan today again made clear her determination to carry through her conquest of China in the face of diplomatic opposition from Britain, France, and the United States. Japanese arms in central China drove nearer to flaming Shanghai, capital of Huan province and key to the new "henyang triangle" defenses of Chinese Generalissimo Li Xiangzheng. The Japanese newspapers here published complimentably. Tokyo's rejection of the three powers' request that the Yangtze river be reopened to navigation of their mechant ships.
The timing of the reply and the manner in which it was published caused diplomas to believe that it was intended partly for Chinese consumption and designed to convince the Chinese that Japan would book no outside interference in her Chinese plans.

University Song "Our Team" Chosen For Publication
"Our Team," University song written by Howard C. Taylor, professor of piano, was chosen as the school song to recite during the annual "Burns Song."
The book contains both alma mater and pep songs of colleges in the central and southern part of the United States. Professor Taylor's song was picked from all the University songs, which were sent to the publisher by the alumni office.
"Our Team" was introduced to the student body last year, and is played by the University Band at every football game as the team enters the field. It has been sung by alumni groups, also.
Many colleges' alumna maters are written to the same tune as "Crimson and the Blue," the old tune of "Annie Lise." There are also several songs with the melody of "Stand up and Cheer." Professor Taylor's song is therefore noteworthy because it is practically the only University song which originated in the University.
Virginia Hawkinson, fa39, and Dick Harwood, fa39, received first and second prizes in a contest sponsored by the American Crayon Company.

Prizes were art materials, products of the American Crayon company. Contestants were members of the University Schol of Fine Arts.
Third, fourth, and fifth prizes were won by Mark Alexander, fa39; Wcchia Waird, fa39; and Loeb Wcchia Waird, fa39; Winia Macdonald and Alderta Waird members of Delta Phi Delta, honorary fraternity.

notes 'n discords
In some eastern colleges, football players are allowed to study only one foreign language—English.
by John Randolph Tye
The other day for the first time we wished we were a candid camera addict when we caught a glimpse of Helen Rhoa Hoopes, "enfant terrible" of the English department, holding forth in the corridors of Fraser hall to an awe-inspired freshman.
Of course the Chicago man, in an effort to hush his crying baby slapped it so hard that the baby died, should be punished. But somehow we can see the man's point, having spent three precious hours playing in a fruitless affection to pull our seven-month nephew to sleep.
. . .
Jack Kelley, columnist on the Minnesota Daily Student, says that his personal concessions to the election were a shoeshine and a shave, it being no longer fashionable to be proletarian.
During last week's intermission at the U.CLA and Wisconsin game, Mickey Rooney, juvenile screen star who is evidently better at acting than at geography, spoke of the thrill he was getting watching an eastern college like Wisconsin play football. Mickey ought to come to Lawrence sometime and watch us southern colleges play the game.
Rudie Valley, we recall, made a similar error some years ago. "I shall sing a song about the Middle West," he announced. Then the orchestra broke into "Somewhere in Old Wyoming."
We don't mean to be suspecting, but we have a feeling that the main reason the President appointed Landon as a delegate to the Pan-American congress was to avoid hearing Alf say "I told you so" at the coming Gridiron banquet in Washington.
