Effigy Hanging Still Mystery; No Motive Found
Why an effigy was hanged from a tree in front of Marvin Hall early Tuesday morning is still a mystery.
Two investigations in the hanging, one by the campus police and the other by the School of Engineering and Architecture, have revealed no clues.
The effigy, clothing stuffed with paper, had a sign with one word, "Beal."
George M. Beal, professor of architecture, told a Daily Kansan reporter Monday, "I don't know the circumstances and I can't comment until I do."
John S. McNown, dean of the School, of Engineering and Architecture would not comment on the matter.
No motive for the effigy hanging, was advanced by campus police or engineering officials.
U.S. Launches Second Satellite
PASADENA, Calif.-The United States has fired its prospective second earth satellite, "Explorer II," from Cape Canaveral, Fla., The Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology announced today.
The result of the new space-probing project was not known immediately.
The satellite was started toward outer space at 12:27 a.m. (CST) in the nose cone of a multistage Jupiter-C missile similar to the one that successfully launched the first Explorer Jan. 31, it was disclosed here by scientists who "sweated out" a nightlong countdown for firing of their baby moon.
The scientists immediately began compiling data supplied from tracking stations in the Atlantic and sped here by teletype to determine success or failure of the launching.
The payload section of the rocket weighs about a third of a pound more than Explorer I, but is an inch shorter. The first Explorer weighed 30.8 pounds.
Pi Phis Win Second Round
Rezoning For New House Passes First Reading
An ordinance for the rezoning of a residential area on 10th Street northwest of Allen Field House was given its first reading Tuesday at a meeting of the Lawrence City Commission.
Korean Student Hurt in Accident
Three men, one a KU graduate student, were injured about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday in a head on collision about four miles east of Lawrence on Highway 10. The student, Soo Ho Rhee, Seoul, Korea, was listed in good condition by Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Soo's left leg was fractured.
Driver of the other car was Bruce Varney, 9714 Overbrook Dr. Leawood. He received a severe concussion and his condition was called fair Wednesday morning. A passenger in the Varney car, Loren Burns, Prairie Village, received facial lacerations and compound fracture of the face bones. His condition was listed Wednesday as fair to poor.
State Highway Patrolman Dick Kvasnicka said Soo's 1952 Ford skidded into Varney's 1958 Chrysler, Varney's car was headed east toward Kansas City and Soo was going west towards Lawrence.
Eye-withnesses say an unidentified car pulled onto the highway in front of Soo and Soo, in trying to avoid the car, skidded into the Varney auto.
Highway patrolmen are expected to question these witnesses for further information.
Hospital officials said they talked to Soo Wednesday morning and he couldn't remember details of the accident.
Trooper Kvasnicka said both cars were totally damaged.
- The rezoning will permit Pi Beta Phi social sorority to build a chapter house near a group of 1-family dwellings.
Lawrence's mayor, John Weatherwax, told the City Commission that the University was "the biggest single industry in Lawrence" and that it is important that it be aided by the city in solving its growth problems.
"The inability to house students might well be the thing that would keep the University from growing as much as it should," he said.
"It is important that sites be found for student housing. This (the rezoning for the sorority house) is part of the solution."
However, a resident of the area, Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science, said that in his opinion the rezoning is not relevant to the University's growth problem.
"This was a request by a private group," he said. "The number of people who would be housed there would not be important to the growth of the University."
Thirty-nine residents of the area near the sorority's proposed building site recently signed a petition asking that the building request be denied. The Lawrence City Planning Commission recommended that the sorority not be granted permission to build in the area.
A report containing this recommendation was not approved by the City Commission last week. Instead, the commissioners instructed the city attorney to draw up a new ordinance, allowing a rezoning of the residential area for construction of multi-use residences.
Dean Slough To Speak

Here's How The All Student Council Functions
(Editor's note—This is the third and last in a series explaining the purposes and functions of the All Student Council. Previous articles explained where the ASC and the AWS budgets goes. Today's explains the structure of the ASC, and the duties of the three branches of student government.)
KU student government, like that of the United States, is divided into three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial.
Through these three branches, the student government may regulate wholly or in part for the student social functions, parking and traffic regulations, courses, housing, seating at athletic events, and punishment for scholastic infranctions.
The executive branch starts with the student body president and vicepresident, elected by the student body.
Executive Branch
The president appoints members of the Student Court, the secretary of the Department of Student Welfare,
all advisory committees to the faculty and the University, and any other committees found necessary or requested by the All Student Council.
The secretary of the Department of Student Welfare appoints members for the Student Labor Committee, Housing Committee (to inspect and regulate private housing rented to students, and to insure student participation in University housing regulations), and the Student Health Commission.
He also appoints members for the following joint student-faculty committees: Convocations and Lectures, Calendar, Film Series, Freshman Week, Commencement, and the Athletic Board.
The vice-president of the student body appoints secretaries for the student Department of Public Relations, the department of Student Activities, and other committees that may be delegated by the president or the ASC.
Under the Department of Public Relations are the Statewide Activities Committee (to spread information about the University throughout the state), and the Public Relations Committee (to publicize
the activities of student government to other student groups and to the student body).
The Department of Student Activities consists of the Publications Committee, Social Committee (to supervise all social affairs of the student body, enforce and revise social regulations), and the Traditions Committee (to promote school spirit, supervise cheerleaders).
The president also appoints members of the Student Athletic Seating Board, the Kansas Union Operating Committee, and a Campus Chest chairman.
Examples of temporary committees that may be appointed by the president are the Little Hoover Commission which made its report last week and the Curriculum Committee, now on a temporary basis, which evaluates courses, checks the curriculum, and suggests what courses might be added or dropped.
Legislative Branch
The legislative branch, the ASC,
seats representatives from the College,
and the schools of Engineering,
Education, Fine Arts, Business,
Law, Pharmacy, Journalism, and the
Representatives are also seated from the eight living districts; fraternities; sororities; men's, women's and freshman women's dormitories; co-operative houses, and married and unmarried students in unorganized housing. The number of seats allowed is determined by the number of votes cast in the election from each district.
Graduate School.
The ASC elects a chairman, a vice-chairman, a treasurer, and a secretary. The chairman appoints the Committee on Committees and Legislation, then sits with that group to appoint members for the Elections Committee and the Finance and Auditing Committee. These are the three standing committee.
Judicial Branch
Half the ASC members are on the standing committees, the rest are, so far as possible, on the executive committees.
The Student Court rules on all ASC legislation and rules on campus traffic and parking violations and disputes between student groups. The chief justice is appointed by the dean of the School of Law, the six associates by the student body president and the faculty advisory committee.
The judicial branch is made up of the Disciplinary Committee and the Student Court.
The Disciplinary Committee handles scholastic violations and appeals from the Student Court. This year, for example, they met and ruled on the enrollment violations.
A check and balance system, like that of the federal government, prevents the possibility of any branch becoming dominant in the student government. The checks in the system are:
All appointments made by the student body president or vice-president must be approved by a two-thirds majority of the ASC.
The Student Court rules on the legality of all ASC legislation.
The student body president appoints members of the Student Court, but they must be approved by a two-thirds ASC majority. The ASC also has the power to remove members of the court from office.
