General Crowns Pi Phi Queen Of Military Ball
Marcia Hall, Coffeyville sophmore, was crowned queen of the annual Military Ball Saturday night in the Student Union Ballroom.
Miss Hall, representing Pi Beta Phi sorority, was crowned by Maj. Gen. Lionel C. McGarr, commandant of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. He was assisted by Judy Howard, Salina senior and last year's Military Ball queen.
In October Miss Hall represented the Kansas State Dairy Assn. as Dairy Princess at the American Dairy Assn. contest in Chicago.
Attendants to the queen were Shirley Burnham, Kansas City, Mo. and Peggy Garrison, Phillipsburg, both sophomores.
The ball, which is held annually for cadets and midshipmen of the Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC units, was sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, honorary military society.
Gen. McGarr spoke at the Scabbard and Blade dinner which preceded the ball.
The Beguine Rhythms, a Kansas City orchestra, played for the dance.

urday's basketball game.
More than half of the KU student body is partially self-supporting.
A Japanese professor of philosophy in Kyoto, Japan, said, "I've lost faith in Shintoism. I'm going to become a Roman Catholic."
"I think Christians are hypocrites," said a Japanese student who was raised in a Christian home. "I'm going to study Marxism."
U.S. Policy Is Confusing To Japanese
With these comments from his Japanese friends, Lawrence Olson of the American Universities Field Staff illustrated his talk about confusion among Japanese intellectuals. He spoke at the Faculty Club Sunday.
"The terrific confusion among Japanese intellectuals is not surprising," Mr. Olson said. "Conformity was forced upon them for the two decades before 1945."
After 1945, for two or three years the American occupation effected a "revolution to reverse the totalitarian trend. "The Japanese were given a constitution which they didn't vote for and which was more American than the American Constitution," he said.
The Japanese intellectual had faith in U. S. policy until the Korean War, he lost faith and became disillusioned when the Korean War began because of the further building up of Japanese military, Mr. Olson said.
The intellectual approved the occupation and democratization, as long as it lasted. Mr. Olson said.
"But since around 1948 the United States' policy has been one of depriving Russia of Japan, not one of Japan's democratization," he said. Emphasis was switched to building up Japan's military might as a lion in Western defenses. Mr. Olson sti-
"The Japanese intellectual fears a resurgence of military strength more than anything else." He wants and needs to be understood, but the U.S. needs to be understood too.
Intellectual Is Confused
"The intellectual in Japan is confused because he hasn't been able to keep up with changing U. S. policies, and the Japanese argument that holds shifting U. S. policy responsible for the intellectual confusion is valid," he said.
"I found more ignorance than I believed 'possible.' Mr. Olson said.
Too Big And Too Rich He said that we are not getting our way of life over to them. They feel we are too big and too rich. "We move together but we don't collide, somehow passing each other. The problem is one of conflict of national policies and a lot of it looks inevitable," he said.
535 Take English Exam
Approximately 535 juniors and seniors took the English Proficiency Examination Saturday.
The faculty of the English department will read each examination paper at least once. For a student to fail the examination three readers must mark the paper as failing.

The papers will be graded on content, organization, paragraph and sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Students who fail will be notified by mail. The names of the students passing the examination will be announced in the University Daily Kansan.
