Ellison Declines—
(Continued from page 1)
since KU would be the midwest headquarters for the Inter-Campus Relations Committee, the group will need to work year round and will therefore need extra money.
He continued saving that as the head of the midwest region of the proposed national confederation of campus political parties, Action will need money to cover the mailing expenses of coordinating the member schools in the midwest area with the national headquarters at the University of Chicago.
The Inter-Campus Relations Committee is a proposed group which would act as a coordinating body for information submitted from the different campuses and would distribute these ideas to the other member campuses.
HE ADDED THAT even if Action does not receive the ASC's recognition, as a political party, it will need the money to continue its work.
After other discussion, the group voted to charge 25c for the membership cards.
In commenting on the candidates, Johnson said "The fact that we are running two Greeks (Warner and Ellison) exemplifies that Action is not anti-Greek."
(The party had been charged of being anti-Greek by Bruce Bee.
ASC Heads
(Continued from page 1)
Palmer said the Action plank concerning the House Committee or Un-American Activities pointed out an inconsistency.
"Action condemns HUAC for usurping its legal powers and its process of determining guilt or innocence which is properly the function of the courts.
"YET IN THEIR plank on discriminatory clauses, Action asks the ASC to withdraw university recognition from living groups. Point one, I can't see it as a function of the ASC to withdraw recognition from living groups. This is outside of the legislative powers of the ASC. Point two, they are asking a legislative body to take on the process of determining innocence or guilt. This appears somewhat inconsistent."
Mission senior and a former member of the group.)
IN FURTHER ACTION, the group elected 27 members to its parliament. The parliament is to be composed of two members from each ASC living district and ten members elected at large by the party's general assembly. Since no members were nominated from the small womens dorms and only one was nominated from the small mens dorms, the full 30 members were not elected.
Those elected are;
Large Mens Dormitories, Greg Swartz, Overland Park sophomore; and Myron Calhoun, Mildon, Fla., junior; Professional fraternities and co-ops, Jack Klinknett, Kansas City, Mo., fresman and Reynold Gumucio, Kansas City sophomore; Large Womens Dormitories, Sue Church, Atchison senior, and Marsha Dutton, Colby sophomore.
Parliament members from other districts are: Fraternities, Don Warner, Topeka junior and Cordell Meeks, Kansas City sophomore; Sororities, Gloria Amershek, Pittsburg sophomore and Jo Anne Holbert, Kansas City sophomore; Freshman Women's Dormitories, Beverly Nicks, Detroit, Mich., freshman and Michele Sue Sears, Kansas City freshman.
REPRESENTING un-married and un-organized students are Mike Dunlop, St. Louis, Mo., senior and Arthur Miller, Pittsburg junior; Married, Bruce Wright, Lawrence junior and Larry Laudan, Lawrence graduate student; and Small Mens Dormitories, Steve Long, Mission sophomore.
Members elected at large were; Kenneth Ciboski, Lawrence graduate student; Tom Black, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Dave Peck, Wichita freshman; Allan Davis; Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika freshman.
Steve James, Lawrence freshman; Bessiefrances Meador, Kansas City freshman; Russell Rogers, McDonald freshman; Franklin Shobe, Great Bend sophomore, and George Bufford, Kansas City junior.
These members will compose the parliament until the fall General Assembly elections.

SPU Speaker Opposes U.S. Nuclear Testing
The Midwest field secretary of the Student Peace Union (SPU) said Friday that the United States should take "unilateral initiatives" to end the arms race.
Peter Allen, here to organize a KU chapter of the SPU, was speaking at the Minority Opinion Forum in the Kansas Union.
He said the United States should not resume nuclear testing, but should instead submit to U.N. inspection on an initially unilateral basis.
He said the United States should also withdraw its missile bases around the immediate perimeter of Russia because these bases are indefensible and thus constitute an aggressive force. The bases, he said, are "quite logically taken as a threat" by Russia because they would be destroyed in a surprise attack and are therefore useful only if the United States strikes first.
"OUR ARMAMENTS are specifically the thing which strengthens the Stalinist element in Russia," Allen said.
Six Juniors Named To Phi Beta Kappa
Six juniors at KU have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honor society for liberal arts. Election after five semesters of college work is the highest honor the KU chapter bestows.
Each of the six have cumulative grade point averages of 2.81 or better with 2.93 being high.
The six will be initiated on May 10 with a larger group from the senior class whose records will be considered next month.
The new Phi Beta Kappas are: John Blair, Wichita junior, is majoring in English; Mary Cowell, St. Louis, Mo., junior, is majoring in both art history and history; Gail Eberhardt, Wichita junior, has the triple major of English, history and French; Donald McKillop, Prairie Village junior, is majoring in chemistry; Nadine Prouty, Newton junior, is majoring in English; Martha Sipes, Mission junior, is majoring in Germany in psychology.
End of Performing Arts-
(Continued from page 1)
Still, with very few exceptions, there is strong evidence that serious musicians and other performing artists are not faring well economically.
IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED that the average salary of musicians with the Metropolitan Opera Company is about $8,000 for a 31-week season. But this appears to be the exception rather than the rule.
Kenin has cited figures showing that 2,300 musicians in the 24 top-budgeted "serious" music organizations in the U.S. earn about $117 a week for an average season of 27 weeks. He points out also that this figure is bloated somewhat by the so-called "big-five" symphonies—Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, New York, and Philadelphia—where about 500 musicians average $167 a week during the average season.
It might also be pointed out that the "big-five" orchestras, along with a few others, account for a large chunk of recordings, which would add to the musicians regular income. But the plight of the serious musician is part of the general woe of the performing arts.
Mrs. Helen Thomson, executive secretary of the American Symphony League, reported following a recent survey that the 1,182 orchestras of all sizes in the United States will need $30 million to operate on a break-even basis this year. Income from performances will total about $16 million. The rest will have to come from private philanthropy or various types of public fund drives.
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION has inevitably had its effect on the development of new artists and the providing of outlets for them.
Abba Bogin, concert pianist and conductor, estimates that of 400 "highly rated" concert pianists
Many American artists go abroad to find an opportunity to perform. George London, noted opera and concert singer, recently was quoted as saying that at an opera performance in West Berlin last year, five leading roles were sung in German by Americans.
in this country, fewer than 15 are able to sustain themselves wholly by their art.
HOWEVER, AS EUROPE'S war-depleted artist ranks are again filled out, there will be fewer opportunities of this type for Americans, Robert Baustian, associate professor of orchestra at KU, says. Prof. Baustian spent several years studying in Europe.
The annual sale of musical recordings is a billion-dollar business and according to the reports of the major recording companies, sales in the "serious" music category have shown the biggest increases in recent years. Concert halls are reporting excellent attendance, and the sale of music and musical instruments is setting all-time highs.
Perhaps the most perplexing problem in connection with the financial state of the performing arts is that they are in economic distress while enjoying a popular boom.
It is already the concensus of American singers that they must be better than, not just as good as, Europeans to gain such employment.
TO CITE ONE EXAMPLE. Ray Kendall, dean of the school of music at the University of Southern California, estimates there are 9 million school children now playing musical instruments as compared to 2.5 million 15 years ago.
Only a very small percentage of these children will ever try to forge a career in the performing arts. Whether there will be any artistic institutions in America worthy of their efforts is a question many conscientious Americans have started asking.
In an interview before the Forum. Allen said such unilateral initiatives are not proposed as the first step toward complete unilateral disarmament.
"What happens after the first steps are taken is open-ended," he said, and added that further action would depend on the reaction of Russia.
At the Forum. Allen was asked if Communist China should be admitted to the United Nations.
HE REPLIED that Communist China will be admitted no matter what moves the United States makes to block her.
"It's just a fact of history," Allen said, "not a question of being for or against admission."
Later, Allen described a student demonstration in Washington, D.C., organized by the SPU against the resumption of nuclear testing by the United States.
Approximately 7,000 students participated in the demonstration, held on February 16 and 17.
ALLEN SAID the students visited more than 20 Congressmen, the State Department, the Pentagon and the White House. They picketed the White House and the Russian embassy.
"People really felt as if they had done something there," Allen said. "Everybody felt as though they had made some impact."
