our earlier letter. The support of the administration is almost imperative for this. A few individuals, or even one entire chapter, desiring to strike such clauses would have little effect on the national convention of a fraternity or sorority.
"... in answer to our belief that the administration should not consider race when pairing roommates for women's dorms, you stated.' . . the University of Kansas will never demand that someone live with another person with whom he is incompatible.' You also implied that our suggestion would force 'impossible personal relationships.'
"WE DO NOT BELIEVE two persons are incompatible merely because they are of different races—even if the races are white and Negro. We would question the 'impossibility' of the personal relationships to which you referred.
"Besides, some of us feel the administration has given us 'incompatible' roommates before, even though they were of our own race. We do not deny that the University grants each dorm student the privilege of changing roommates if he can't live happily with his present one; and thus the University does
not demand that any two persons live together. If a white girl and a Negro girl were placed together, they would have the same opportunity to change rooms as anyone else.
"Our suggestion necessitates no change in this university policy. It does involve eliminating race as a determining factor in deciding roommates.
IN AN INTERVIEW today, Warner said:
"We write this letter with the fervent hope that the time will soon arrive when no Negro student at Kansas University feels he is a 'second-class citizen."
"It is my belief that the chapters with the discriminatory clauses will not respond at all in the way the Chancellor hopes. The Greeks have not responded so far either for or against the clauses or the University's policy toward them, and I do not see any indication of a trend to do so.
The Chancellor has not answered the Council's latest letter.
"As far as the administration no wanting to regulate the fraternities, that is funny. A number of regulations are already placed on fraternities by the University and I do not think that this one would be out of line with the others."
Foreign Aid Bill—
(Continued from page 1)
KENNEDY SAID HE realized that some Americans were getting tired of foreign aid. But he said his request could not be cut without endangering this country's attempt to create well-being and political liberty through such aid.
"All our armies and atoms combined will be of little avail if these nations fail, unable to meet the needs of their own people and unable to stave off within their borders the rise of forces that threaten our security." Kennedy said.
Foreign aid administrator Fowle Hamilton will open the administration fight for the funds Wednesday before the house foreign affairs committee.
Officials said they were attempting to purchase more aid materials in the United States to ease the outflow of dollars and gold. They
SMOP Drive Gets $2,008
These ingredients spelled success for KU Women's Memorial Scholarship Fund (SMOP), sponsored by the Associated Women Students, as returns from the drive increased this year by $708.
The Pi Beta Phi's sold tickets to a fire drill, the Corbin counselors sold confections, and KU boy friends bought "Late Night" tickets.
KU WOMEN RAISED $2,008 for SMOP this year. Last year they raised $1,300. Members of the SMOP Committee attributed the increase to the competition between houses during the individual house projects.
The KU Women's Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1948 in commemoration of KU women students who died while attending the university.
SMOP scholarship applications are available in the Dean of Women's office, 220 Strong. The applications must be returned to the Dean's office by Saturday, April 14.
The scholarships will be awarded on All Women's Day, April 30.

hope to reach 80 per cent procurement in the United States.
OFFICIALS SAID THAT only in the development fund does an appreciable amount of money remain from last year's appropriation. One official said this was because the United States was weighing applications for aid carefully to make sure the applicants were really working toward self-help.
"We have no trouble getting rid of the money," he said. "There are plenty of applicants."
Wilson Writes Police Manual
"Basic Rules of Arrest, Search and Seizure," a manual for Kansas peace officers, has been written by Paul E. Wilson, associate professor of law at the University of Kansas.
The report, published by the KU Governmental Research Center, explains important rules and answers questions of interpretation of law which apply to the daily duties of the peace officer.
The study offers a step by step explanation of the proper procedures for arrest with and without a warrant. It discusses the use of force under varying circumstances, and explains the rights of the citizen to resist unlawful arrest and unlawful methods of restraint.
Important topics in the report are procedures for obtaining search warrants, limitations on the area of the search, search of the person and the subject's home or place of business, search of vehicles, search when consent has been obtained, and consequences of unlawful searches.

Administrators Say Fund Dance 'Illegal'
A controversy has arisen over the legality of a proposed fund raising dance scheduled to be held Friday night in Templin Hall.
James G. Middleton, assistant to the dean of students and program director of dormitory supervision met last night with men's dormitory residents and said that the administration opposed the holding of fund raising dances in the residence halls.
FOLLOWING THE meeting with Mr. Middleton, the Templein Hall Senate voted 22-2 to go ahead with the dance with the understanding that it would be moved to the Kansas Union Ballroom if a state law prohibits holding it in the dormitory.

AL LAUTER
Jack Zinn, Mission freshman and a staff member of Templin Hall's news letter, "The Observer," said that Mr. Middleton presented three choices to the residence halls:
- Hold the dance at the Kansas Union, paying a fee of $35 and charge admission.
- Cancel the dance altogether.
- Hold the dance at Templin Hall and charge no admission.
Zinn said if the dance is held in Templin Hall, the group could be placed on social probation.
The New
DURING THE MEETING, Mr. Middleton cited a 1947 statute forbidding fund raising activities on state property.
Students attending the meeting expressed doubt about the statute and said the proposed dance would be no different from such activities as the Angel Flight spaghetti diner, Rock Chalk Revue and the coming appearance of the singing group. "The Limelimeters."
