Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, an alumnus of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, turned the first shovel of dirt yesterday in groundbreaking ceremonies for a $160,000 addition to the fraternity house.
ATO's Start Work
HOUSE STARTED—ATO Chapter President Richard M. Mendick, Shawnee Mission junior, shovels dirt while Chancellor Wescoe eyes approvingly.
The addition, a wing joining the south side of the four-story fraternity house at 1537 Tennessee St., will increase the capacity by at least ten men to 92 members. Included in the addition is an enlarged kitchen and enlarged dining room.
Daily hansan
Additional parking, landscaping and alterations to the existing building will make the addition an integral part of the existing structure.
Construction will begin tomorrow, and the addition is expected to be completed by Sept.1.
Mike Mendlick, Shawnee Mission senior, and president of the fraternity, and Edwin Lee, president of the building corporation, also participated in the ceremony.
The addition is being built on a lot owned by Alpha Tau Omega and once occupied by the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. The TKE fraternity moved to a new house near the southwest edge of the campus, and the old house was razed this fall.
Besides publishing many articles in learned journals, he is author of two books, "A Short History of Opera" (2 volumes), and "A History of Western Music."

Frosh Model Senate Passes Bills on Abortion, Succession
62nd Year, No. 89
Musicologist To Lecture During Visit
An internationally known scholar in the history of music will spend three days on the KU campus this week as the fourth Humanities Series lecturer this year.
When the bell rang for the third annual KU model Senate, 107 freshmen, representing both political parties, came out swinging their legislative fists.
By Jim Sullinger
Dr. Grout studied musicology under eminent teachers in France and Austria, was university organist at Cornell in 1945-47, was chairman of the music department there for 10 years, and has been Given Foundation Professor of Musicology at Cornell since 1962. Before going there in 1945, he taught at Mills College Harvard, and University of Texas.
Persons attending the Tuesday evening lecture may park in Lot Y—a half block south of the KU smokestack—and use a free shuttle bus to Fraser and return.
Sponsored by the KU-Y, the model Senate was held last Friday and Saturday in Green Hall.
FILIBUSTERS, committees, debate, passage of bills, party affiliation, and the informality of the sessions added to this duplication of the United States Senate.
Blake Biles, Hutchinson freshman and Senate president, said the model Senate had two purposes. The first was to give students a better understanding of the political process and show what they can do individually.
At 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, he will speak on "Music and Musicology in America and Europe" at a coffee forum arranged by Student Union Activities in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
Dr. Donald J. Grout, musicologist at Cornell University, will present the lecture at 8 p.m., Tuesday, on "Music History and Musical Reality," in Fraser Theater. The Faculty Club will give an informal reception after the lecture.
Dr. Grout will also speak to a Shakespeare class about "The Music in Shakespeare's Plays" and to four classes in music history.
At 2:30 p.m. the same day, Dr. Grout will speak on "Opera in the 20th Century" at a Fine Arts convocation in Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was president of the American Musicalological Society and of the International Musicalological Society.
He was born in 1902 in Rock Rapids, Iowa, and received the B.A. degree in philosophy at Syracuse in 1929, the M.A. in music at Harvard in 1932. He held Fullbright and Guggenheim research fellowships to Italy in 1951-52 and a Fullbright teaching fellowship at the University of Utrecht in 1959-60. He received the Archibald T. Davison Medal for Musicology at London in 1962.

Fred Krebs, Shawnee Mission freshman, and Sandra Arnold, Concordia freshman, were co-chairmen of the steering committee which was responsible for setting up the mock-Senate.
"THIS YEAR is a new high for the model Senate," Krebs said. "There was a lot of enthusiasm and I'm pleased with the turnout."
The second purpose was to ex-
pose them to important national issues.
The model Senate consisted of 60 Republican and 47 Democratic members. Participants in attendance aver-

State's High Court Says 'Reapportion'
TOPEKA, Kan. —(UPI)— The Kansas Supreme Court today ruled the Kansas Legislature apportionment was unconstitutional. The vote was 4-3.
In a majority opinion written by Justice Harold Fatzer, the high court said both houses must be apportioned on the basis of population only.
The University Disciplinary Committee sustained the School of Journalism's action against Rick Mabbutt, Shoshone, Idaho senior Friday but changed its description from disciplinary probation to censure.
Mabbutt Case Ruled Censure
After six hours of deliberation in the Dean of Student's office, the committee, composed of six students and five faculty members made its decision. Mabbutt, former editorial editor of the University Daily Kansan, was censured for an editorial he wrote in January.
According to Richard E. Dyson assistant professor of Law and representing Mabbutt, the censure meant that Mabbutt is not on disciplinary probation.
The high court ruled that those sections of the Kansas constitution which state that each county must have one representative regardless of population, "are rendered inoperative by the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment of the constitution of the United States".
Fatzer wrote that "again, the people, not land or trees or pastures, vote."
ALTHOUGH THE court made no indication of when or at what session the legislature must reapportion itself. But it clearly stated it expected reapportionment before April 2, 1966, the deadline for filing for the next legislative elections. Fatzer also wrote the dissenting opinion.
The Supreme Court pointed out that Saline County had one representative but is 21.3 times the size of Greeley County, which also has one representative.
"Twenty-three seats represent more people than do the 84 smallest counties which control two-thirds of the majority vote in the House of Representatives," the opinion said.
The court added that "consideration of area alone provides an insufficient justification for deviations from the equal-population principle."
The idea of reshaping the foreign policy of the United States on a more realistic and rational basis needs serious consideration by our policy makers, Prof. Hans Morgenthuas said Friday.
Prof. Asks Revamp Of Foreign Policy
He is a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and one of the world's leading authorities on international affairs in lecture on "U.S. National Interest in the 60's."
"Are we really serious about our policy towards China or is it wise to give up our peripheral containment of it and recognize its dominance in Asia?" Prof. Morgenthau asked. "The sooner we ask ourselves this question, the better it will be for us."
THE UNITED STATES' foreign policy had, in the beginning, two main interests: to preserve the security within the western hemisphere, and to maintain the balance of power in Europe. International developments and the growth of Communism necessitated the need for a third interest: to maintain the balance of power in Asia, for it was said that the security of the United States was not only connected with Europe but with Asia as well, Morgenthau said.
"THEREFORE, THE U.S. supported China against Japan in 1931 and in order to create a powerful China to counteract Japan," Prof. Morgenthau said. When communism in China made this scheme impossible, the U.S. "turned to Japan and joined them in an attempt to check the growth of China in Asia."
The "Open door policy of Asia" was also drawn in order to check the growth of a gigantic Japanese empire in Asia and with the intention of preserving the territorial integrity of China, he said.
The same happened in Germany, for after the war, the U.S. turned around to Germany in its struggle against the Soviets, he said. The containment policy in Europe, led to its extension in Asia. The Truman Doctrine's idea of lending assistance to any country threatened by Communism, made the policy an unlimited one. Out of this came a "strange and ineffectual alliance combination" like the Baghdad Pact (later CENTO) and the SEATO.
Commenting on this, Prof. Morgenthau said, "The U.S. armed Pakistan to its teeth. Pakistan today is virtually an ally of China. When the U.S. learned about this, it started arming India to counteract Pakistan. If ever there is an anarchy in India, you can be sure the whole of Asia will go communist.
"THE IRRATIONALITY of these alliances shows that we are up against an armament race with ourselves and the containment policy is up against self-contradiction," he added.
"WE TALK about losing face if we pulled out of South Viet Nam," he continued. "When the French decided to pull out of Algeria and Indochina, they did not lose face but showed wisdom."
