Seniors should turn in or mail their nominations to the Alumni Association, 127 Strong. The winner will be announced at the Senior Coffee.
Two Students End Debate Year at IU
Two KU students are serving as delegates to the Delta Sigma Rho national student congress at Indiana University today through Saturday on the last debate trip of the year.
Fred Kauffeld, Atchison sophmore, and Tom Beisecker, Topeka junior, will take a stand on the question of what the United States' trade policy should be in relation to the free world nations.
Engineers Ready For Exposition
Persons attending the 1962 Kansas Relavs April 20-21 can get two shows for the price of one thanks to the work of some 150 engineering students who are preparing exhibits for the 42nd annual Engineering Exposition.
This year it will be possible to see, free of charge, all the exhibits in one building, Allen Field House. Visitors will enter under an arch 30 feet high and 100 feet long that will span a three-dimensional standard bearing the exposition theme, "Engineers Today." Past exposition themes have centered on the future.
Department and organization exhibits will be displayed under the permanent bleachers on the second floor of the fieldhouse.
THE ARMED FORCES displays will be inside the field house except the featured Nike Hercules missile, which is too large to be shown inside.
The activities of contemporary engineers will be shown in displays which range from precision measuring devices to model homes, drilling rigs, motion and time studies. Kaw Valley flood control projects and wind tunnels.
THERE WILL BE a continuous showing of a 23-minute film during the two-day exposition showing the variety of work open to a modernday engineer. It will be shown on the third floor of the fieldhouse.
The climax of the exposition will be a Saturday night banquet when awards will be presented for the best displays.
Prof. McCoy Named
Donald R. McCoy, associate professor of history and director of correspondence study at KU, will be a visiting professor of history at the University of Bonn, Germany, during the spring-summer semester there. Prof. McCoy will teach a lecture course and a seminar on recent American history. He and his family will leave for Europe late this month.
WASHINGTON—(UPI) President Kennedy held an unusual meeting with high cabinet advisers on the steel price increase today and a top congressional leader forecast swift government action in the situation.
The White House meeting, summoned by the President to explore a broad range of possible federal moves to combat effects of the $6 a ton price hike, lasted 40 minutes. The Chief Executive sat in on the conference for about 15 minutes.
LATER, SENATE Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana predicted that the Senate and House Antitrust Subcommittees would move in quickly with investigations and that the Justice Department would take a "more than ordinary interest in this . . . unnecessary rise."
It was learned that the Justice Department was considering an antitrust suit aimed at breaking up U.S. Steel Corp., pace setter in the price increase, into several smaller firms. It was emphasized, however, that the idea was only in the discussion stage.
"The time for talking is past," Mansfield said, "the time for action has come."
ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT arranged the White House meeting, he had not been expected to participate personally. However, he joined the group for about 15 minutes to take part in the discussion.
JFK Hits Steel Raise
As the administration was charting its course of action here, a seventh steel company—National Steel—announced in Pittsburgh that it was raising prices effective at midnight tonight. National is the nation's fifth-ranked producer.
One of the first results of the session was expected to be a statement before tomorrow by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara concerning steel purchases by his department.
Kennedy told his news conference yesterday, during a scathing attack on the steel industry, that

--the price hike would increase defense costs by about $1 billion a year.
Assistant Defense Secretary William P. Bundy told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today it also will boost the cost of foreign military aid by as much as $50 million to $75 million. This, he said, will force a cutback in such assistance.
ROGER M. BLOUGH, board chairman of U.S. Steel, called a 3:30 p.m. EST news conference in
New York City where he was expected to give the industry's reply to the President's denunciation.
Washington sources said they had found no indication the industry would back down on its insistence that the price increase was necessary to cover higher operating costs.
Any Justice Department suit to break up U.S. Steel would be based on a contention that the firm has monopoly control of the industry because of its average 40 per cent share of the market and its power over pricing.
