They Chop Wood For Class Credit
For several weeks, about 60 interested wood workers have been chopping and sawing logs behind Bailey Hall-for class credit.
Walnut logs, sawdust and chips have marked the entrance to the sculpture work shop in Bailey Annex since work began. The logs were brought by truck from Parsons.
Several men in sculpture classes volunteered to take a field trip to an area that was flooded. They brought back 1,500 pounds of logs free for the shopping.
The logs were unloaded on Bernard (Poco) Frazier's property west of Stouffer apartments. Mr Frazier is a sculpture in residence at KU. The logs were then brought to Bailey Annex and piled up until needed.
Eldon C. Teft, assistant professor of design and sculpture, said there has been more interest in working in wood than in stone this semester.
"Some students are still carving stone, but the wood piles have been more common than stone piles since November," he said.
Students in Sculpture I and II classes do their own chiseling and sawing to get the right piece of wood to work on. These students "with an axe to grind" aren't the only persons who get a chance to take a chip off the old block.
James Bass, instructor of sculpture, turned over the wood carving tools to high school students during the art conference in March. Mr. Bass is carving a mask from one of the walnut logs. Many students have worked on the piece to get the feel of wood carving.
The logs range in size from one to five feet in diameter. Most of them are about two feet thick. Some of the larger ones that have started to crack and split are being oilled and waxed to prevent further cracking.
Mr. Teft said walnut is about the only wood being carved this semester, mainly because it was free.
"Walnut lends itself beautifully to carving," he said. "We don't have to do much to care for it. The piles outside don't need covering because the logs have been out in the weather a good long while already."
2 K-State Stars Face Expulsion
MANHATTAN —(UP)— Two starters on Coach Bus Mertes' spring football team today faced possible expulsion from school following an altercation at a women's dormitory.
The Kansas-State student body tribunal has taken under advisement the cases of Gene Meier, Bunker Hill, captain-elect of the Wildcats who was a starting guard last fall, and of Don Miles, sophomore guard from Petersburg, Va.
The two allegedly got into arguments and fist fights at Northwest Hall Friday evening during the coeds' carnival. The scuffle was with two houseboats at the dormitory.
The tribunal heard testimony for five hours in the case Monday night and was scheduled to discuss the case further next Monday. The tribunal has the power to recommend the two football players be expelled from school.
Living Costs At New High In March. Government Savs
Around The World
Living costs hit another alltime high in March, the government reported today.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that record food prices pushed living costs ahead by seven-tenths of one per cent during March.
The Bureau said that it was the largest monthly increase in the consumer price index since July, 1956.
Ewan Clague, commissioner of labor statistics, said food prices should begin leveling off in May and June.
The Democratic plan calls for the federal government to give idle workers 16 weeks of unemployment compensation, whether or not the idled workers are eligible under state unemployment insurance programs.
In Washington, President Eisenhower branded as dole today a Democratic-sponsored plan for benefits to unemployed workers.
The President also threw cold water on any thought of a summit meeting limited to himself and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
He declined to tell a news conference if he would veto the measure if Congress approved. He did say, however, that it has grave defects and would tend to be destructive to the whole system of unemployment insurance benefits as it now exists.
How About The Monkey?
CHICAGO —(UP)— Even organ grinders have agents nowadays. The University of Chicago could not book Guisseppe Renaldo for its festival of arts until it contacted his agent.
The index hit a new record in the very month that the business recession got worse, with unemployment reaching the highest level since World War II.

During a speech by the Yugoslav vice-president in which he criticized the Soviet policy and echoed Marshall Tito's defiance of the Kremlin, the satellite representatives walked out and did not return.

Five members of the University political science department will leave today to attend the annual conference of the Midwest Political Science Assn. at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich. Three of the five will present papers as a part of panel discussions at the meeting which will run Thursday through Saturday.
According to Sen. Paul Wunsch (R-Kingman), the sales tax increase was discussed "fully."
GOP Senators Give Demos Another Day
"The Senate would prefer to consider the governor's proposals first." Wunsch said. "But since the minority members do not see fit to introduce them, we are stymied. We are giving them another day to get something in. If they don't, we'll proceed with something of our own."
Speaker Jess Taylor (R-Tribune) said Docking's bills would be brought up for a floor test "so we can move this thing along as fast as possible. We still hope to get it over within two weeks." In Senate action, two bills were introduced yesterday.
The GOP members met in closed caucus this morning to discus the tax program and took no final action. They will make a decision at a caucus Thursday, they decided.

TOPEKA—(UP)Republicans of the Kansas Senate decided today to give Senate Democrats one more day to introduce bills implementing Gov. George Docking's tax program, then move toward introducing a sales tax bill.
The other Senate bill called for a withholding tax on state income tax payments, similar, but in addition to the Federal income withholding provision.
Docking has stated flatly that he will veto a sales tax hike, as he did during the recent budget session. If another try is made, Wpnsch said, its success will depend on whether "the Governor still has the 42 Democratic members of the House under control."
House Democrats already passed one Republican-sponsored bill. It went through in speedy action yesterday.
