DIGGING IN—Beverly Bennett, and Sharon Pine, both Lawrence freshmen, express the uncertainty of current campus weather. Wearing Bermuda shorts in the event the sun shines, the girls dig a trench for protection from threatened cold wind or snow.
Weather-
Cloudy, Cold, Wet—Sad
The topsy-turvy weather picture began to level off today as forecasters revised their snow predictions toward a cloudy compromise in most sections of the state.
KU students scurried around today in their mixture of heavy and light jackets mumbling something about "that blasted sun."
Wagers were being placed on the possibility of snow as the sun plaved leap-frog with the numerous clouds.
Some brave souls ran around in short sleeves proudly displaying their "goose-bumps" to their friends.
In Kansas City, groundskeepers for the Athletics had their snow shovels ready for action after hurriedly getting them out yesterday.
Goodland received four inches of snow yesterday and light rain fell over the central part of the state last night.
The misplaced winter weather will make another attempt to dampen spirits of Kansans tonight and tomorrow, the U. S. Weather Bureau said today.
The forecast:
Cloudy tonight with occasional light snow northwest. Scattered light rain moving across state tonight ending in east early tomorrow. Partly cloudy tomorrow. Low tonight 25 northwest to 35 southeast. High tomorrow 45 to 55.
War Is No Answer Yugoslav Diplomat
By Thomas Hough
Total war will not be the answer to world crisis though there is a possibility the world may choose war, said Marko Nikezic, Yugoslavian ambassador to the United States in an interview today.
Yugoslavia's philosophy is different from that of the USSR, he said.
"There are plenty of possibilities for war, but there is a vital interest in settling the problem by negotiations," he explained.
"Negotiation is the only possible solution. If war comes, it's bound to be total war. There is no victory worth the destruction that would result." Mr. Nikeez said.
"We believe that socialism is the answer to our problems, and the USSR believes communism is the answer to its problems.
America is formally against socialism, but many things you regarded as socialistic a few years ago are in effect now," he said.
"You Americans are more socialist than the Russians because you can afford more," he added.
Mr. Nikezie also said:
"The USSR is still a poor country. It may have made great progress, but it still has a long way to go."
Yugoslavia wants to be completely independent, he said. His people wish to form no block alliances with other nations.
"We intend to make no alliance short of war." Mr. Nikezic said.
Yugoslavia has no desire to extend her borders or conquer other lands because she has enough raw materials within her borders to make her rich, he said.
"We do need help though, because we do not have the industry, technology, and heavy machinery needed to develop our raw materials."
Approximately 50 per cent of Yu-goselia's international trade is with Western Europe. 30 per cent is with North and South America, and 20 per cent is with the communist bloc of nations.
Yugoslavia believes it is possible to maintain complete independence from and friendly relations with the other countries in the world, Mr. Nikeezic said.
He said there could be no comparison between Yugoslavian schools and those of America, such as KU.
"The dormitories and education facilities here at KU are impressive and an excellent example of American higher education.
"However, in Yugoslavia, it will be a long time before we can have anything to compare with the American universities because we have to use our money on the bare necessities of life," he concluded.

ASC Secretary Believes Council Minutes Stolen
The secretary of the All Student Council said today the reason the ASC minutes are not in the Council office is that they were stolen sometime since April 2.
She was referring to a story in yesterday's Daily Kansan which reprinted a paragraph from the forthcoming Allied Greek-Independent party-sponsored newsletter. The paragraph read:
"Concerning the...proposal for keeping ASC correspondence and files in the ASC office, the records are not in the office where they
Today's UDK Studies Political Campaign
In today's issue of the Daily Kansan see pages 2 and 3 for editorial comment and letters to the editor column concerning the political campaign pointing toward the general elections Tuesday and Wednesday.
Also featured are sketches of all the candidates for the voter's information, plus pictures of candidates from both political parties.
would be available to the student body. Instead, the secretary (Miss Day) has all of these records and is reluctant to release them for the information of the student body.
"Last night, after reading the article in the Daily Kansan. I went to the office and found the file of minutes gone," said Sharon Dey, Ulysses junior.
Always on File
Miss Dey she always kept a copy of all ASC minutes on file in the ASC office together with a check-out sheet.
"The last regular meeting of the ASC was April 2 and following that meeting, when 1 placed the copy of the minutes in the file, the file was intact," she said.
Miss Dey said her copy of the minutes can be seen by anyone who wishes. However, the copy cannot be borrowed, as it is the only copy of the ASC. She said she would hold onto the minutes until a duplicate copy can be made for the files.
Records Always Open
Concerning her reluctance to release information, Miss Dev stated: "I don't think that is exactly right. Only one person asked me all year for minutes of a meeting and I directed him to the ASC office where he could check them out."
She said anyone wanting the records at any time could have gotten the key to the ASC office at the Kansas Union Information Desk.
An ASC spokesman said Patrick Little, Wichita senior, and chairman has a private copy of the minutes.
Vox Denies AGI Charges
The forthcoming political pamphlet "Speaking Frankly" of the Allied Greek-Independent party has brought denials and countercharges by the Vox president, Tom Gee, Leavenworth senior.
The pamphlet is expected to be released by AGI over the weekend. The editor of the pamphlet is Ron Barta, Salina senior and AGI publicity chairman. A copy of the pamphlet was discovered by the Daily Kansan Wednesday night.
Women's Discussion Airs Differences
Greek and independent women discussed little-known differences in a panel discussion at the United Presbyterian Center last night.
Sue Suran, Hays junior and sorority representative, said that an "uncomfortable feeling" between Greeks and Independents could have been brought about by Pan-Hellenic rules.
Mary Carol Stephenson, Pittsburg, sophomore, a scholarship hall representative, said the "awkward and strained situation" between Greeks and independents was based on the fact that the two groups were
"However, I think that any such problem exists only in the minds of people who encourage it," she said.
not able to communicate with or understand each other.
"Scholarship hall girls are self-conscious about the general feeling that they make the highest grades and are expected to keep them up," Miss Stephenson said.
"We rarely have common interests and have no feeling of loyalty. It's more like a hotel. I think girls resent living in the dorms," Miss Spong said.
Virginia R. Spong, Stafford junior, a representative of the dormitories, said dormitory life is difficult because of the many different interests.
The women agreed that a general problem of stereotyping existed because of misconceptions.
"If you don't really know how the other groups live, how can

you understand them?" questioned Miss Stephenson.
Miss Stephenson said that a certain amount of prestige was given to Greek organizations because of their tradition.
"Scholarship halls are only temporary groups. The girls in the halls lack unity. Sororities have a common interest because of selective membership," she said.
Miss Suran suggested that representatives of scholarship halls could be included on the committee which selects the hall residents.
Emily Taylor, dean of women was contacted today and agreed that a problem of communication exists between women from all kinds of living units.
ever. Greater understanding and consideration should eliminate it." she said.
"I do not feel that this problem is insurmountable, how-
Dean Taylor did not say how the understanding should be brought about.
Dean Taylor continued:
"Many efforts have been made and are being made to bring as much unity into these groups as the girls themselves want," she said.
"I don't agree that there is no sense of unity in the dormitories and scholarship halls. We certainly don't consider them as hotels, but as living groups.
"There are certainly many individuals in the scholarship halls and dormitories who prefer to be individualists and do not wish to live under any kind of organization."
the pamphlet states, in part:
Gee said in reply, "We've had new blood and new ideas and we're going to have more new blood and new ideas. We've done more than five AGI Councils could do and ever have done."
"In its only year in office the new party, with new blood and new ideas has accomplished next to nothing in student government."
The pamphlet continues, "Apathy and disinterest pervade student government."
Gee said, "This is apparently the statement of the party. I believes the party and its vice-presidential candidate should compare notes and not make contradictory statements."
Jane Dean (AGI vice presidential candidate) said in the April 3 edition of the Daily Kansan: "The student body has often been branded apathetic or indifferent toward student government and affairs. This, Dick (Dick Lewis, AGI presidential candidate) and I believe, is not so."
"Dick Lewis evidently agrees with her. However, his action in resigning from the ASC seems to agree with the party's statement that apathy and disinterest exist," Gees said.
