Prof discusses foreign policy
By EMMANUEL AKUCHU
DISCUSSING American commitments in the world, Lipson said the U.S. had joined some of the alliances for geographical, economic, security and stability reasons. Other alliances were to halt the expansion of communism, Lipson said.
Talking about the real provision of security, Lipson said the United States has in most cases produced the security while the other allies consumed it.
American men and women must take stock of their future needs, Leslie M. Lipson, professor of political science from the University of California at Berkeley said, so as to help solve the problem of America over its commitment to world alliances and security.
LIPSON SAID the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was the greatest achievement of American foreign policy and had the organization put a protective shield around Communist areas.
Lipson was discussing world collective security and alliance systems last night in the Kansas Union. He was at KU under the auspices of the KU chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the honorary political science fraternity and the department of political science.
Look for learned royalty
"Learned Miss" is the title which will be given to this year's engineering queen. She will officiate at the opening of the annual engineering exposition April 21 in Learned Hall.
The search for KU's "Learned Miss" will get underway March 12 at the Flamingo Club.
Following the preliminary judging at the Flamingo Club, six finalists will be announced at a party on March 17. Then the engineering students will vote for the queen during the following week. The winner will be announced at the end of the week.
Ken Mathiasmeier, Arkansas City senior and publicity chairman of the exposition, said queen candidates will be nominated by living groups and by members of a committee composed of 15 engineering school students. Entries are due March 8.
While the queen will attract a great deal of attention, the various exhibits which will be on display are the main feature of the exposition.
THIS YEAR's queen will be entered in the Miss Lawrence-KU contest under the sponsorship of the engineering school.

The exposition will be open from 12-9 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday. On Saturday night, there will be a banquet at the Kansas Union featuring a guest speaker and the presentation of awards.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts clear to partly cloudy skies tomorrow, with southwesterly winds 10 to 20 miles per hour. A little cooler tomorrow, with the low tonight in the mid 30s.
Lipson said there were flaws in NATO. He said NATO had achieved its main goal but had never adequately developed the economic plans written into its constitution. It had also failed to hammer out the common policies and issues that arose, he said.
Lipson said America should encourage the split between Russia and China by bringing in the Russians, who have a direct stake in the area.
Turning to Vietnam, Lipson said that in order to find a solution to the war problem America should de-escalate her military power and invite Russia to come in. The United States could then help bring about an international solution.
"THERE CAN BE no solution without China," Lipson said, "but with the presence of Russia, China will find it tough going."
THE MAIN INTEREST of America in Southeast Asia, Lipson said, should be to contribute to social and economic development and stability.
Turning to the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, Lipson said America has the responsibility of defending Southeast Asia when China tries to expand southwards.
Talking about Latin America, Lipson said that the Alliance for Progress ties the Americas together. The United States' role in this area, he said, should be to help the Latin American countries develop their programs.
Jo Jo nets award
Jo Jo White, KU's sticky-asglue junior guard, was named to the Associated Press's 1967 college basketball All-America honorable mention team today.
White, a 6-3 inch, 190-pound native of St. Louis, Mo., joined 24 other stars from around the country to make up AP's list.
"I didn't think I had been playing ball well enough this year for the honor," White said, still groggy from sleep but happy.
"I REALLY LOOK forward to meeting Beard (Butch of Louis-ville) in the NCAA Regional," he added.
Beard was named to the third team and is one of Louisville's two top scorers, the other being first teamer Westley Unseld.
Joining Urseld on the "dream team" is UCLA's sensational Lew Aleindor, Western Kentucky's Clem Haskins, Providence's Jim Walker and Houston's Elvin Hayes, who will also play in the Midwest Regional here.

"This fast," said Father Woodward, "is not against Vietnam or the government, but for all people hurt in war. Whether one accepts war as legitimate or not, by one's nation being involved, one also is involved and to that extent responsible for the pain.

Politically, the conference called for a serious attempt at negotiations with North Vietnamese, prefaced with a cessation of the bombing in the North, and no escalation of ground war.
