New Apartments Near Completion
The Sprague Apartments will be opened within the next two months for retired teaching and administrative staff members.
Situated on the upper slope of the 14th Street hill, the apartments will have six 2-bedroom units and three 1-bedroom units. They are designed to provide comfortable, reasonably-priced housing near the library, Kansas Union and Faculty Club.
Construction of the apartments was begun late last summer, and made possible by a gift from the late Elizabeth Sprague in memory of her sister, Amelia Sprague.

towards the Western Alliance. Their observer nations (the four named above) are accredited, but the first resolution, which was proposed by the steering committee, throws the matter of our accreditation into the General Assembly. This is very unfair," said Panesar.
The first resolution to be considered by the convention is the admission of Red China as an accredited observer. The question will be decided by vote.
No Amendment
Panesar said his delegation had submitted an amendment to the first resolution which required that all observer nations be accredited. He said the steering committee replied that no amendments to the first resolution would be accepted.
"This is highhanded behavior," he added.
Robert Nebrig, Leavenworth senior and chairman of the steering committee, said the amendment was rejected mainly because a tight time schedule would not permit discussion and voting on all of the countries involved.
"The matter of observer accreditation isn't as important as the other resolutions. If we gave that time to discussing observer status, we would have to cut out debate on Algeria, the nuclear test ban or the admission of Red China as a voting member."
Never Were Observers
Nebrig said that the Red Chinese delegation was mistaken in believing that they had had observer status.
"They may have assumed that they were accredited observers, but they never really were," he said.
He blamed the misconception on a lack of direct communication between delegations and the steering committee.
Nebrig denied that any favoritism was shown the Western Alliance in the accreditation of observers. He pointed out that the delegations in question are listed as Korea, not South Korea, and Germany, not West Germany. He added that he believed this was exactly as they are listed at the General Assembly in New York.
Falling Plaster Hits Sigma Chis and 'Sig'
The recent snows took their toll at the Sigma Chi house by causing a large area of plaster to fall from the porch overhang.
The alternating freezing-melting cycle loosened the plaster and caused quite a hazard to persons passing beneath, including the large St. Bernard (Sig) who usually rests there.
But no one was hurt, said a house member, John Ostenburg, Great Bend sophomore. The roof is being repaired.

GOP Chairman Attacks Demo Farm Plan
DES MOINES, Iowa —(UPI)— Republican National Chairman Thruston Morton said last night the Democratically sponsored farm legislation pending in Congress was nothing more than a "repackaged" Brannan Plan which would regiment the American farmer.
He spent most of his time attacking the Poage bill which provides for "harsh cutbacks in total farm production." He said the implications of the Democratic sponsored plan would affect much more of the economy than just the farmers.

"NO PARKING"
As everyone knows, the most serious problem facing American colleges today is the shortage of parking space for students' cars.
Many remedies have been offered to solve this vexing dilemma. For instance, it has been suggested that all students be required to drive small foreign sports cars which can be carried in the purse or pocket. This would, of course, solve the parking problem but it would make double dating impossible—unless, that is, the boys make the girls run along behind the car. But that is no solution either because by the time they get to the prom the girls will be panting so hard that they will wilt their corsages.
Another suggested cure for our parking woes is that all students smoke Marlboro cigarettes. At first glance this seems an excellent solution because we all know Marlboro is the cigarette which proved that flavor did not go out when filters came in—and when we sit around and smoke good Marlboros we are so possessed by sweet contentment that none of us wishes ever to leave, which means no gadding about which means no driving, which means no parking problem.
But the argument in favor of Marlboros overlooks one important fact: when you run out of Marlboros you must go get some more, which means driving, which means parking, which means you're right back where you started.
Probably the most practical suggestion to alleviate the campus parking situation is to tear down every school of dentistry in the country and turn it into a parking lot. This is not to say that dentistry is unimportant. Gracious, no! Dentistry is important and vital and a shining part of our American heritage. But the fact is there is no real need for separate schools of dentistry. Dentistry could easily be moved to the school of mining engineering. Surely anyone who can drill a thousand feet for oil can fill a simple little cavity.
This experiment—combining dentistry with mining engineering—has already been tried at several colleges—and with some very interesting results. Take, for instance, the case of a dental student named Fred C. Sigafoos. One day recently Fred was out practicing with his drilling rig in a vacant lot just off campus. He sank a shaft two hundred feet deep and, to his surprise and delight, he struck a detergent mine. For a while Fred thought his fortune was made but he soon learned that he had drilled into the storage tank of the Eagle Laundry. Walter P. Eagle, president of the laundry, was mad as all get-out and things looked mighty black for Fred. But it all ended well. When Mr. Eagle called Fred into his office to chew him out, it so happened that Mr. Eagle's beautiful daughter, Patient Griselda, was present. For years Patient Griselda had been patiently waiting for the right man. "That's him!" she cried upon spying Fred—and today Fred is a full partner in the Eagle Laundry in charge of pleats and ruffles.
