UP Organizes; Criticizes Vox
By Frank Morgan
KU's fledgling political party spread its wings, looked around for its target and soared off on its initial flight last night.
The University Party was created last semester by students to end one-party domination of, and to stimulate interest in, student government. They met, officially for the first time, in the Forum Room at the Kansas Union to elect permanent officers and initiated action for the coming elections.
Shifting from the temporary organization that had been operating since its conception, the new party cautiously laid its foundation to avoid any possible misrepresentation or coalition.
AT THE FOUNDING of the UP in the spring, temporary officers were elected, a constitution written and a temporary platform set up to define the party's purpose and reason for creation.
The platform, still not the official one, was restated and elaborated upon last night by several officers. There were charges against Vox
Populi, the University's--until then --only student political party; denouncement of the inactivity of the All Student Council, executives of the council and student body.
--ment than any TV program.
Fred Morrison, Colby senior and the only ASC member who was not supported by a political party, accused the council of incompetence besides inactivity.
"If any of you get tired of watching TV some Tuesday night," he said, "come on down to one of our meetings. It is much better entertainment than any TV program.
"Their attitude is -- 'We do not know what we are doing boys, but let's go ahead and do it.'"
He then pointed to the need for two parties because "the major worry of the incumbents is to perpetuate their membership."
Morrison said one-half the bills considered are amendments to the Election Bill to make it easier to get on the Council.

Invasion Force Lands in Cuba
HAVANA —(UPI)— The Cuban government announced today that a 27-man invasion force, including three Americans, landed in eastern Cuba Tuesday and clashed 24 hours later with the Cuban military, rumored led by Premier Fidel Castro himself.
The announcement said the leader of the invaders was killed, two others were captured and Cuban soldiers were chasing the other 24 in the rugged country of Oriente province.
The government communique charged the invaders came from the United States and that they carried an American flag which was captured in yesterday's encounter. It did not say how they landed, whether by boat or plane.
It identified the leader of the invaders as Armentino Feria, known as "the Indian," said to be a former Captain in the private army of ex-Batista Senator Roland Masferrer.
The government also said that besides the American flag, government soldiers captured three mules loaded with ammunition, seven M-1 rifles, a book of U.S. army regulations and various other documents.
The communique said the invaders forced 50 peasants to join them but that the peasants fled when the fighting began.
Same Song—
Same Weather
The weather is expected to stay the same—winter after dark and Indian-summer-like during the day.
The United Press International said the weather is to be fair tonight and Friday, but not quite as warm. The low tonight is to be near 40.
UN Starts Debate on China Observers See U.S. Victory
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI) The General Assembly called up the China question today for a debate Western observers predicted would result in a major victory for the United States in its battle to keep the Chinese Communists out of the United Nations.
Reshuffling of the speakers' list in the Assembly's annual policy debate made possible consideration of the Chinese representation issue late today.
IT WAS PROBLEMATICAL whether a vote would be reached before adjournment. There was 11 speakers listed in the debate which started last Saturday. The possibility was not ruled out that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev might demand the right to speak again. With delegates weary from repeated night sessions, there was expected
"Perhaps we could get along without this ASC but we have got to have student government," he said.
The issue was clear-cut: Russia demanded a place on the agenda for its demand that Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists be ousted and China's U.N. seat be given to the Communist regime of Peiping. The United States demanded that the Assembly take no action on the China question during its current session.
to be opposition to a late meeting tonight.
WESTERN DIPLOMATS predicted a safe, 50-vote minimum for the U.S. motion that has been approved by the Assembly's steering committee, which rejected Russia's demand.
Foreign Minister Hashim Jawad of Iraq called for Communist China's admission this morning in a policy speech in which he struck hard at the West on the questions of Israel and Algeria.

"And the only way to get it is to organize, get out, to vote and form organizations that will do something."
The outgoing officials continually urged the 60 members present to select new officers from a widely divergent representative area for the eight-man steering committee and the co-chairman posts.

FOUR MEMBERS of fraternities and sororites and four from women's and men's dormitories were elected to the campus committee, the governing board of the party.

They were Betsy O'Hara, Salina junior, Chi Omega; Linda Scifers, Pittsburg junior, Kappa Kappa Gamma; James L. Anderson, Lawrence junior, Phi Gamma Delta; John Jay Jones, Neodesha sophomore, Sigma Phi Epsilon.

THE TWO CO-CHAIRMEN of the party, who were likewise selected as widely representative, were Paul Cacioppo, Overland Park senior, a member of Alpha Tau Omega and Charles A. Menghini, Pittsburg junior, Joseph R. Pearson Hall.

One of the temporary co-chairmen, Stuart Barger, Harrisonville, Mo. junior, emphasized "the key word in our policy is 'interest'—the interest of all the student body in their political organization at the University
"CAMPUS POLITICS—not student government—has come to an all time low in the history of KU. The school has been run by one party since 1952.
"This is not the fault of the party in power but of us, the rest of the students. When 1,800 out of 9,000 students vote in an election, this is a good indication of lack of interest."
Co-Chairman Cacioppo was more explicit when he blamed the one

KU Wants Voice in NSA
Dalby Says - Unfair
KU wants and should have a voice in the National Student Assn., the student body president said today.
"Unless an over-all opinion can be provided, KU should consider leaving the organization," Ronald Dalby, Joplin, Mo., senior and student body president said.
Dalby said KU is wasting time, effort, and money as a member of the organization unless it can assume a role of leadership for minority schools opposing demonstration sit-ins and other actions advocated by NSA.
THE QUESTION of KU's membership in NSA has been discussed before. Last year the Associated Student Council discussed the possibility of leaving the organization.
Dalby attended the NSA convention in Minneapolis, Minn. during the summer
The University could benefit more from such groups as the Big Eight Student Association, Mid-Western Student Government Assn. or the Southern Universities Student Assn., Dalby said.
He said at the present time the liberal universities and colleges in the Northeastern United States speak for NSA. KU is in the middle-of-the-road leaning toward a conservative view-point.
Approximately 25 resolutions are made at the convention, said Dalby. The entire NSA body votes on only 4 or 5. The remaining resolutions
are reviewed by the National Executive Council of NSA.
DALBY SAID decisions regarding remaining legislature are not representative of the whole body, NSA actually represents less than half of the students in institutions of higher education.
Demonstrations have been used by the NSA to advocate opinions on national and international affairs. An example was the sit-in demonstration last February. Dalby said he questions the authority of the NSA to take a stand on the issue without consulting all the NSA members.
NSA ALSO advocated a freemail exchange with Russia last year
