Concordia Colonized By Beta Sigma Psi
Concordia Club at 115 Tennessee Street, has been colonized by Beta Sigma Psi, the national Lutheran social fraternity for men.
Ron Brockman, Raytown, Mo., sophomore and publicity chairman of Beta Sigma Psi, said, "If everything goes well within the next year, we will receive our charter and become the 28th fraternity on the hill. We have fulfilled all the requirements except the membership requirement which must approximate the average membership of those fraternities already in existence here."
Plans are being made by the fraternity to rush more members. At the present there are twelve members and one pledge.
Brockman said Lutheran pastors in Kansas are being contacted for names of high school seniors who will be rushed next summer. Religious preference cards filled out by KU students at the beginning of the semester have been sorted and the fraternity has a list of Lutherans presently attending KU, he said.
Several smokers are being planned for those interested in pledging Beta Sigma Psi.
Brockman said, "The purpose of Beta Sigma Psi is to provide an atmosphere for Lutheran men to grow spiritually, scholastically, and socially.
Beta Sigma Psi has been approved by the dean of men's office and has a
seat on the Inter-Fraternity Council. It will not have a vote on the IFC until the charter is obtained.
There were several requirements to be met before it could become a legally recognized fraternity. They had to meet the scholarship requirements of the other fraternities. A petition to the IFC and the administration had to state why the group would make a contribution to the already existing fraternities. They had to have a house and a housemother.
The president of Beta Sigma Psi is William Panning, Ellinwood senior, and Dwight Hiesterman, Linn junior, is vice-president. Mrs. Dorothy Nichols is the housemother.
Book's Topic to Be India, China
The explosive events of October, 1962, that led two giant nations of the world, India and China, almost to the brink of a bloody war, is the subject of the new book, "China and India at Bay," to be published by Klaus H. Pringsheim, assistant professor of political science in fall of 1965.
"The Chinese are lying," commented the author, when asked about the validity of China's claims in the Sino-Indian border dispute. "A Chiang-Kai-shek or a Mao-Tse-

ung, they are all the same. They will unite with each other in support, when issues such as Tibet or India come up," he added.
China's intentions, Prof. Pringsheim said, are to destroy the democratic institution in India and manifest itself as the biggest power in Asia. It is also interested in creating a Himalayan Federation comprising of Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Ladakh, Naga Land and the North East Frontier Agency and keeping an effective control over the federation.
Prof. Pringsheim writes that the signing of the agreement with Pakistan has been as a result of its clever but dirty diplomacy. This will help to perpetuate the Kashmir problem and thus keep India and Pakistan disunited, a boon to China's scheme for expansion.
Prof. Pringsheim will present a detailed chronological study of the whole event dating from 1949 to the
present day, with numerous interpretations of his own.
The book will also throw light on the Chinese thinking, its plans and strategy and it military maneuvers. The documents he has secured for the book include those published by the People's Republic of China.
The book will attempt to present a clear picture on an issue that has caused a lot of confusion and misunderstanding and will attempt to help the readers to evaluate the gravity of the situation.
Assisting him with his work is K. Jagannathan, India graduate student.
