We are not nuts, SPU leader says
"We are not bitter nuts, just nice nuts. People mistake us for the new left we are supposed to be, but aren't," Philip Bayles, Houston, Texas, junior, said last night in his inaugural address as president of the Student Peace Union (SPU).
The elections for this semester's officers of the SPU were the highlight of the meeting in the Kansas Union and attracted a gathering of 16.
Other than Bayles the new officers are Walter L. Chittenden, Parsons senior, vice-president; and Mrs. Chris Leonard, wife of Lawrence junior Dave Leonard, as secretary-treasurer.
ALSO ELECTED were three members at large: Dave Barenberg, Clayton, Mo., freshman; Dave Leonard, Lawrence junior; and Dean Abel, Michigan City, Ind., graduate student.
In other business the SPU decided to set up a peace table Thursday in a "populated" area of the Union. "We will distribute peace-oriented information and buttons for 25-cent donations," Bayles said.

Continued from page 1 about the development of peaceful uses of atomic energy.
"Such a treaty will help free the non-nuclear nations from the agonizing decision of whether to pursue a search for security through nuclear arms," Johnson said.
"Freed from the fear that non-nuclear neighbors may develop such weapons, nations can devote their efforts in the field of atomic energy to developing strong, peaceful programs."
But he added: "I am sure we all agree that a non-proliferation treaty should not contain any provisions that would defeat its major purpose. The treaty must, therefore, cover nuclear explosive devices for peaceful as well as military purposes.

NO TOM FOOLERY
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Betting was not permitted in the last four races run by Tom Fool in 1953 — the Wilson and Whitney Stakes at Saratoga, the Sysonby Stakes at Belmont Park and the Pimlico Special at Pimlico. He won them by a total of $22 \frac{1}{2}$ lengths.
Also discussed was the possibility of sending donations to the Canadian International Red Cross, which sends money and aid to both North and South Viet Nam.
The SPU wants to follow the example of the Friend Service Committee which has sent aid to North and South Viet Nam. But, the government has recently stopped checks from going through. The money was not returned to the donors, according to Bayles.
THE SPU WANTS to check on why Americans cannot spend money as they wish and this will be a long term project. Members might donate, but they must discover how much to collect in the way of donations and through which channels it can be sent.
"War is bad, therefore the donations should be equally distributed," Chris Leonard said.
The SPU has reserved the evening of March 3 at the Firey Furnace on an experimental basis. SPU members will read articles of interest, discuss, sing folk songs and distribute buttons and information. This event will be discussed at the next SPU meeting.
The SPU wants to enter the mock Model United Nations (M-UN) and members have entered a team in the College Bowl.
"It is fun, gets our name around,
but I doubt if we will win," Bavles said.
The SPU discussed the possibility of having something similar to the "Gentle Thursday" held by the SDS chapter in Austin, Texas. The SDS published a pamphlet with gentle things to do, made crowns for campus cops, ate lunch in a particular spot, did gentle things, wrote gentle things on sidewalks and suchlike.
Heart fund drive set
Freshman women from the three residence halls and fraternity pledge classes will collect for the Lawrence Heart Fund this evening and tomorrow evening.
Six to eight hundred women will team-up with the pledges to canvass Lawrence. A trophy will be awarded to the group with the most donations. After each night of canvassing, the groups will return to the individual halls for a party.
MARILYN BALTZ, Oliver; Linda Lemons, Corbin; and Nancy Hardin, Gertrude Sellards Pearson, are in charge of their halls. They were responsible for contacting five fraternities each and recruiting the pledge classes.
Mrs. James Ricks, dean of women's office, explained, "This is the big project of the year. In some of the halls, we will have 100 per cent floor participation."
Social side best
The Centennial College has gained favor with one group of KU students, those participating in the program.
CC frosh like program
In an informal interview, several of the students in the Centennial College were asked to evaluate the program up to the present time.
By DICK GROVE
"You get to know the boys in your class so much better, being in most of your classes together." Mary Mills, Topeka freshman said.
Bob Marvin, Waldwick, New Jersey, freshman, said that socially the program was good, but academically it needs some improvement. "Academically it hasn't hurt me, but it hasn't helped me either," Marvin said.
THE SOCIAL ASPECT of the Centennial College is the main advantage of the program, several students said.
"THERE ARE advantages socially in that you are part of a very close group. Another advantage is in the system of pre-enrollment. It saves you a lot of time," Janet Bass, Topeka freshman, said.
Asked what changes should be made in the
program, Jane Waldron, Colby freshman, said there should be more information about the Centennial College distributed to the rest of the University.
"People don't know very much about the program. Because of this, we get laughed at a lot." Miss Waldron said.
BOB MARVIN said he thought it would be better if there were more upper classmen in the program. He said this won't be a problem next year, however.
Janet Bass thinks the honors program and the Centennial College should be better coordinated.
"They should work it out so that all honors students could work closer together. We don't have much of an opportunity to work with honor students outside our own living groups," Miss Bass said.
All the students interviewed said they preferred to stay in the Centennial College.
"Everyone I know in the program says that it's great. I know I wouldn't change for anything." Miss Mills said.

THE MAIN PURPOSE of the new council would be to get something done quickly and eliminate time-consuming discussions, Miss Prewitt said. "However, the policies formulated by those 14 people would not be truly representative of the student body.
government controlled by only 14 people." Miss Prewitt noted, "because those 14 people have too much power."
"It is dangerous to have student
One of the main points of the proposal includes class officers as voting members of the new council.
Steve Morgan, Wichita junior and president of the Junior Class, said he favored that specific part of the proposal because it gave class officers added responsibility.
