Panel Favors Britain in Mart
Georges Aubert, Mount Rhim,
France, defended French president
Charles De Gaulle's veto of Britain's
bid to join the Common Market.
The lone dissenter to British entry into the European Common Market at an International Club panel discussion Friday was a graduate student from France.
AUBERT SAID Gen. De Gaulle's objection was to protect French and European independence against any United States attempt to interfere excessively in European politics.
The other members of the panel all graduate students, were: Gerhard Bassler, Stuttgart, West Germany; Joseph McKenna, York Maine, and Rab Nowaz Malik, Karachi, Pakistan.
The panel was moderated by Prof Ethan Allen, chairman of the department of political science.
He said Europe should become the third powerful force of the world. "There are two possibilities for future Europe," he said, "either an American Europe or a European Europe under French leadership."
According to Aubert, England is too closely attached to the United
He said the Skybolt incident has made Britain look like a United States "Trojan Horse" to France.
States, especially where atomic weapons are concerned.
GRIFFITHHS SAID Britain is a country which imports many of its necessities, including food and raw materials for industrial uses, but Britain cannot avoid Common Market barriers.
Favoring British entry, Bassler said German and British industries are very similar, and Britain's entry would prevent French economic and political domination of Europe.
He said the European economy would be strengthened against communist economic pressures by British entry into the Common Market.
Rab Nowaz Malik, who represented the Commonwealth countries on the panel, said Britain should decide whether it should enter or not. He said free competition in Europe is possible only if there are no trade barriers in Europe.
A KU woman student might be named one of the best dressed girls in America, if she wins the Associated Women Students A.W.S. campus contest.
"THE COMMONWEALTH does not have a unified viewpoint on the problem of the Common Market," Malik said.
In a contest sponsored by the A.W.S. fashion board in cooperation with Glamour Magazine, one woman student will be chosen to represent KU in a national judging March 4, to determine the "ten best dressed college girls in America."

Cigarette Law Has Opposition
Efforts to curb underage smoking at KU may meet with opposition from some students.
Eleven freshmen were recently asked to give their opinions on the long-established Kansas statute which not only makes it illegal to sell cigarettes to minors, but also makes it a misdemeanor to give cigarettes to them.
MOST OF THEM felt smoking was an individual matter, to be decided by the smoker himself. They considered the statute unenforceable.
Referring to the Statute as "absurd" and "completely ridiculous," they appeared to be aligned solidly against it.
Willio Burnell, Piper freshman, said. "I think smoking is an individual matter. Most college students are mature enough to make that decision, especially if their parents don't mind."
Both smokers and non-smokers were contacted. All must wait three or four years before they can indulge in unrestrained out-in-the-open smoking.
Marilyn Schmidt, Kirkwood, Mo. freshman, called the statute "the most absurd thing I have ever heard." She added, "College students should be allowed to make their own decisions."
"Why not smoke at 18?" he asked.
Other comments, were:
DAVID EVANS, TOPEKA freshman pointed out that persons may purchase beer at 18.
"Anyone who can support the habit" should be allowed to smoke --Sammie Edwards, Wichita freshman.
"The present law accomplishes nothing. It is childish... and is ineffective as to purchases"--Douglas Dibble, Lemars, Iowa freshman.
"It (the statute) cannot be enforced" -- Marleen Bell, Wichita freshman.
DIANNE MULLANE, Oklahoma City, senior, and AWS house member, explained that all contestants will appear before a camp of campus judges February 17. Ten semi-finalists will be selected and may appear again before judges on Feb.24.
GSP and Hashinger dormitories should choose three candidates each and all other living groups, one candidate each. Names of candidates must be turned into the Dean of Women's office tomorrow.
"We're not looking for professional beauties or models," said Miss Mullane, "but all winners are selected on the strength of their photographs and entry forms."
She said that in the preliminary contest the girls should wear "church dresses" and in the final contest, three outfits: a campus outfit, a church dress, and a party dress.
Photographs of the KU winner will be sent to the March 4 national judging to compete against winners from 100 U.S. universities.
"The ten best dressed" chosen by Glamour Magazine, will be photographed in the spring for the annual August College Issue and will be flown to New York.
Judges for the contest will be Ruth E. Franzen, associate professor of home economics; John Wyant, St. Joseph, Mo., graduate; Mrs. Kala Stroupe, assistant Dean of Women: Miss Karlene Howell, assistant to Dean of Women; Marilyn Mueller, Houston, Texas, senior and president of AWS; Marcia Myers. Topeka senior, and chairman of the fashion board; and Jim Carr, Carthage, Mo., senior and president of the Inter-Fraternity Council.
HONORABLE MENTION winners will be featured in the fall issue of the magazine.
