Vox Populi -
(Continued from page 1) girls who ran in the general election for UP did not have ASC experience and one of the girls eliminated did not.)
In discussing the plank on a permanent bi-partisan qualifications board which would be established to make ASC committee selections on the basis of qualification rather than political affiliation, Wilson said, "This plank is very unclear, and does not state exactly what they want done."
(According to the official UP platform the plank says that the party "proposes to amend ASC Bill No. 3 to accomplish this.")
WILSON SAID that the sixth UP plank on making the Freshman orientation program a significant service to the student is repetitious of Vox action. He said that Vox has already established a student handbook which contains most of the subjects which the UP platform proposes be initiated.
Harris added that this student handbook has been proposed to University officials and should be published next Fall. "This plank is one of ours slightly changed," he added.
Wilson said that the provision for an orientation lecture by student leaders to acquaint the students with the opportunities in their organizations was repetitious of the SUA Carnival which he described as "doing a pretty good job."
Wilson said "This platform reminds me of a painter sitting back looking at a painting and dabbing at it to try to improve it." He said that the UP platform just sat back and dabbed at previous issues without introducing any new ideas for expanding student government.
IN COMMENTING on a charge made by UP Student Body Presidential candidate Gerald (Kep) Kepner, Harris said, "It seems rather humorous that Mr. Kepner can say that UP is better represented on the Council in one breath and turn around and blame all ASC inefficiencies on Vox in the next."
Last night Kepner said that UP represented the KU student better because it had voting representatives in more of the ASC living districts than does Vox. He also charged the current ASC, on which Vox has the majority of representatives, with being faulty in their committee systems.
Harris said "despite Kepner's complaint about the situation, the UP platform does not introduce anything to improve the committee system."
The UP platform, however, states that the Party proposes to amend ASC Bill No. 3 to accomplish the establishment of a bi-partisan Qualifications Board to control appointments to the ASC committees, and the overlapping of terms of office for members of these committees to provide experienced committee members at all times on these committees.

Space Committee May Cut NASA Budget $100 Million
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The House Space Committee has tentatively decided to cut more than $100 million from President Kennedy's space budget next year, a congressional source reported today.
A large part of the reduction was said to come from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's program to develop the super rocket Nova, one of the two possible routes by which the United States hopes to send a man to the moon before 1970.
The Nova would develop between 12 and 18 million pounds of thrust and would be used for a direct assault on the moon. An alternate approach, using a smaller rocket which would be re-fueled
in earth orbit, is also under consideration.
The president asked Congress in January for $3.8 billion during the fiscal year beginning next July 1.
Though the reported cut of more than $100 million is relatively small when compared to NASA's total budget, it reflects a considerable change in Congress' attitude toward space.
Last year for example, the committee gave President Kennedy authority to spend about $200 million more than he had requested.
The source told United Press International that a majority of the committee was concerned about the space agency's requests for money it did not need in the immediate future.
New Members—
(Continued from page 1)
Nations is that the representatives o. the peoples who until recently had been denied freedom . . . now participate in the deliberations of the United Nations . . . as free and equal members. It is surprising how quickly they have developed dignity, self-respect, regard for justice and the mood of fellowship.
Another major point of the ambassador's speech was the opportunity given to the United States by having the United Nations headquarters in New York.
"TO WIN THE IDEOLOGICAL war you do not have to proceed to Moscow,you can wage it and win it right at home,in New York," he said.
"Representatives of states and peoples from all over the earth gather for long and short periods in this metropolis to ponder, to reflect, to discuss together and to come to joint
decisions in association with each other.
"In a sense the world is brought to your doorsteps. How will you use this opportunity? To what purpose will you employ this privilege? How well will you meet this challenge?"
"The manner in which these questions are answered will, to a large degree, determine the long-term significance of the expanded membership of the United Nations."
Sir Zafrulla Khan will speak to the International Club at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas Union. He will leave Lawrence tomorrow morning.

LESSON II - Where to watch girls
Although girl watching may be practiced in any place and at any time girls are encountered (see above), certain locations deserve special mention for their consistently high levels of both quality and quantity. The east side of Fifth Avenue between 51st and 59th Streets in New York City is perhaps the girl watching center of the
world. Other such locations are: Via Veneto in Rome, Champs Elysees in Paris, Oude Zyds Achterburgwal in Amsterdam and Sugarbush, Vermont (January through March). Experienced girl watchers recommend these places with utter confidence (just as experienced smokers recommend Pall Mall for complete smoking pleasure).
Compare all three 'Smoke "traveled" through fine tobacco tastes best.
See the difference! With Pali Mall, you get that famous length of the finest tobaccos money can buy. Pali Mall's famous length travels and gentles the smoke naturally... over, around, and through Pali Mall's fine, mellow tobaccos. Makes it mild ... but does not filter out that satisfying flavor!
Pall Mall's natural mildness is so good to your taste!
So smooth, so satisfying, so downright smokeable!
