We accuse the Soviet government of murder. We accuse it of the foulest treachery and the basest deceit known to man. We accuse it of having committed so monstrous a crime against the Hungarian people that its infamy can never be forgiven or forgotten.
Soviets Accused Of Treachery
Nikolai Lenin wrote in 1900: "The Czarist government not only keeps our people in slavery but sends its army to suppress other people rising against their slavery (as was done in 1849 when Russian troops put down the revolution in Hungary)." How apt these words sound today when we substitute "Soviet" for "Czarist," and 1956 for 1849.
Hatred and pity, mourning and admiration, these are our emotions today: hatred for the men and the system which did not hesitate to shed new rivers of innocent Hungarian blood to reimpose slavery; pity for the Soviet soldiers, duped into thinking they are fighting "Fascists" when they killed defenseless or nearly defenseless men, women and children; mourning
and admiration for the heroic Hungarian people who feared not even death to strike for freedom.
Gone now are the last illusions. Moscow now stands self-exposed. The torrent of Soviet bullets yesterday did not kill only Hungary's freedom and martyrns. Those bullets killed first of all the picture of a reformed, penitent Russia seeking to repudiate Stalinism and practice coexistence. Could Stalin have acted more barbarously than did his successors? Can we have any doubt now of what awaits us if we ever relax our vigilance and permit ourselves to become prey to Soviet might, as was Hungary recently.
The day of infamy is ended. The foul deed is done. The most heroic are dead. But the cause of freedom lives and is stronger than ever, nurtured by the blood of those who fell martyred in freedom's cause. The Hungarian people will never forget. We shall not forget. And out of hatred and tears is born the resolve to carry forward the struggle till freedom is triumphant.
And particularly for you men who are suffering from that chronic KU injury known as the pre-vacation deflation of the left hip pocket.

Knowing full well that Saturday night is the big date night here on scenic Mount Oread, Mother Nature, bless her heart, has thoughtfully come up with a solution which will save the dashing young man on the campus from much financial and mental embarrassment.
Attention men, this is for you.
It seems we're having an eclipse of the moon Saturday night, starting about 10:30 p.m., and progressing to a total eclipse about midnight.
Obviously, this is an event which is made to order for the hard-pressed big-dealer who has run out of cards to deal.
—New York Times
what more could anyone want.
Just tell her that you have a test
Sunday morning—they always fall
for that one—and that you'll have
to study for a while on Saturday
night. Until about 10 p.m., that is.
Then, when you pick her up, tell her that you don't feel like going out and dancing, or going to a show, or anything fancy like that. Tell her you feel that you should appreciate the wonders of nature by witnessing that most memorable of occasions, the eclipse.
But back to the eclipse. Be sure and read up on such matters in the nearest encyclopedia, so that you'll be able to further impress her with your knowldege of what's going on up there.
She'll be impressed. She'll also be impressed if you meet the 10 p.m. pickup deadline nattily attired in your best pair of belt-in-the-back khakis, white bucks, and a sweatshirt, while she is all dolled up in her best party dress.
Casually toss out such words as scler, lunar, astronomical, galaxy, telescope, etc., so that she will fully appreciate your knowledge. Also, point to an occasional star, and identify it by some impressive-sounding Latin name.
Most important of all, keep impressing her, because the whole goal of the eclipse date is to snow her without spending any money, which is an art which has become nearly impossible here.
That brings up a question. What to do if, in the middle of the peachy-keen eclipse date, it starts to snow, or rain, or hail? Obviously, this would cause considerable cloudiness in the sky, making it a trifle difficult to see the moon, or what's left of it during the eclipse.
Did somebody mention snow?
here's a suggestion. If you're out looking at an eclipse Saturday night and it's so cloudy you can't see the moon, and you don't know what to do. the thing we suggest is that you enroll in one of those Engagement and Marriage courses next semester.
You've got a lot to learn.

Mansfield To Be Senate Whip
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Sen.
Mike Mansfield (Mont.) seemed assured of being named the next Senate Democratic whip, succeeding Sen. Earle C. Clements (D-Ky.) who was defeated in last week's election.
Sen. George A. Smathers, mentioned as a likely successor to Sen. Clements, announced he would not accept the post but was endorsing Sen. Mansfield.
A similar endorsement came from Sen. Carl Hayden (D-Ariz.) who is in line to be president pro-tempope in the Senate which convenes in January. He will replace the retiring Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) as the Senate's unofficial "dean."
Sen. Hayden, frequently described in the Senate as the "silent" Senator, actually got the Sen. Mansfield bandwagon rolling. In Arizona he issued a statement from his office here praising Sen. Mansfield as uniquely qualified to be assistant Democratic leader.
Veteran capitol aides could recall only a handful of such statements for Sen. Hayden in nearly 30 years as a Senator. And this one was circulated by the staff of the Senate Democratic-policy committee, which is headed by Senate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.).
Sen, Theodore Francis Green (D-R.L.), the Senate's oldest member at 89 and prospective chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, praised Sen. Mansfield's "far ranging knowledge" of world problems.
...
Informed sources offered confirmation, if any was needed, that Sen. Mansfield was the odds-on favorite with enough support already assured to give him the job.

Editor:
I am very disappointed with the quality of thinking evinced in your editorial of November 9th dealing with the "Right to Work Bill" and its "Griefs". It is not so much the stand you take but the reasons you give. Without the protection of compulsory membership you claim that the unions will lose members and dwindle in size until they become as effective "as unions were in 1850."
Members would voluntarily withdraw to save dues expense while employers would give preference in hiring to the non-unionist. Thus the unionist would be weeded out at the same time his numbers were declining. The outcome would be disunited employees subject to management power.
The editorial did not take account of those corrective forces which spontaneously arise in any healthy union movement. In part these corrective forces arise out of the moral attraction of unionism as a creed which enlists the loyalty of its followers and makes of the union member a unionist.
Then in part these counteracting forces grow out of the benefits of membership which in a healthy union organization will be extensive: opportunities for participation in local meetings with one's coworkers, protection against discrimination by management and a mode for ventilating grievances up to the highest level, possible insurance benefits against disability or unemployment, job information on employment opportunities, possible avenues for personal advance to higher status in the union.
It is because of the strength of these counteracting forces that the union movement from its small beginnings withstood a hostile environment and grew to its present immense size. Obviously, these forces would sustain unionism and give it a large scope even without the benefit of formal compulsory membership schemes.
But mind you, I have spoken of a healthy union movement. An unhealthy movement would tend readily to need to compel membership. Moreover, it is obvious that the power to compel membership would strengthen the tendency to degeneration by making it less necessary for union leadership to win the loyalty and support of members.
It would strengthen the tendency for union organization to become an instrument of vested leaders and to become an alien power ruling over its members and less a mode for their associated action. You would take away from the rank and file member his principal remedy against the various types of unhealthy unionism.

Navy To Delay Seawolf Trials
WASHINGTON - (UP) - Navy sources said today that serious technical difficulties may make it necessary to replace the costly atomic reactor of the submarine Seawolf.
These troubles already have delayed sea trials of the nation's second atomic sub. The difficulty has
not been in the reactor proper but in the liquid sodium system which is used to transfer heat from the reactor for production of steam.
Sodium is a highly corrosive element. The Navy announced Sept. 6 that leaks had developed during dockside testing in the steam superheating equipment aboard the sub
