STADIUM CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES—Work on Memorial Stadium to add 6,500 seats is progressing ahead of schedule. If warm weather continues it will be completed by September, 1963, but a considerable portion will be in use by KU-Relays time in mid-April.
Move Would End Diefenbaker's Job
OTTAWA—(UPI)Cabinet colleagues today moved to force the resignation of Prime Minister Diefenbaker rather than throw the nation into a general election over the U.S. created nuclear weapons crisis.
The action was taken when it became evident the Diefenbaker government could not survive a confidence vote in the House of Commons on the issue of whether U.S. nuclear weapons should be
Non-Interference Pledged By U.S.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) The United States will stay out of the Canadian election campaign if the government of Prime Minister John Dieffenbaker is dissolved, informed sources said today.
Sources here said the facts in the dispute over whether Canada should accept U.S. nuclear warheads had been put on the record in the State Department statement that sparked the political crisis.
The nationwide campaign, whether called by Diefenbaker on his own initiative or forced on him by a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons, would be fought around charges of U.S. interference in Canadian affairs.
"We wouldn't want to get into the middle of an election campaign, of course," the sources said. "The facts are on the record in the State Department statement, and what the Canadians decide is of course up to the Canadians."
Registration Opens for UN
Registration of delegates for the Model United Nations conference March 29-30, began today and will continue through Friday.
Model UN officials said the four- day registration will be held from 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. in the KU-Y office. Room 112 in the Kansas Union.
Each of the student delegations will represent one of the United Nations members during the two-day mock conference which will hold various discussions of the views and problems of that country.
The KU-Y has announced that each of the delegates will be limited to four members with an advisor. A registration fee will also be assessed.
In the past various countries' ambassadors to the UN have addressed several of the mock sessions of the Model UN.
The Model UN, which has had a stormy history at KU since 1945, is under its fourth sponsorship by the KU-Y and the Political Science Department.
*allowed on Canadian soil.
It was understood that if Diefenbaker stepped down, the important Social Credit party would throw its support behind the remaining ministry and avoid any immediate dissolution of parliament, which would then require a general election.
IT WAS THE latest in a series of political blows the Prime Minister has absorbed in the past two weeks following his tangle with the U.S. State Department on the nuclear arms issue.
His political opposition has repeatedly demanded his ouster, and yesterday his Defense Minister Douglas Harkness, resigned.
Six members of the cabinet, headed by Justice Minister Donald Fleming, were scheduled to see the Prime Minister in advance of this afternoon's meeting of Commons and present to him what amounts to an ultimatum, a well-informed source said.
EXTERNAL AFFAIRS Minister Howard Green was understood to be the principal holdout in the cabinet against the Prime Minister's resignation.
Green was said to have advised the Prime Minister to take the initiative by dissolving parliament before the House meets this afternoon and go to the country on the nuclear arms issue.
Diefenbaker's Conservatives, who control only 115 votes in the 265-seat House, must have the support of at least one opposition party to survive. They got the necessary support, mostly from the 30-man Social Credit Group, earlier in the session, but yesterday it was clear the string had run out.
All three opposition parties were known to be ready to vote against Diefenbaker should he reject the demand to resign and decide to submit the issue to a confidence vote.
A huge hole was shot in Diefenbaker's support by Harkness' withdrawal from the cabinet.
ASC Meeting Off
The All Student Council meeting scheduled for tonight has been postponed.

Stadium Construction Still On Schedule Despite Cold
By Roy Miller
Despite past cold weather, work on Memorial Stadium is on schedule and the addition of 6,500 seats and a new press box will be completed by September,1963—if continued warm weather prevails.
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, KU athletic director, said yesterday that work has been progressing at a faster pace than anticipated because of the weather.
DICK BAIRER, superintendent of the project for the Martin K. Eby Co. of Wichita, the general contractor, said construction would be completed for next football season. He said work could be completed as early as mid-August.
Forms for supporting columns for the 27-row extension on the west side of the stadium are currently being put in place. Columns should be as high as existing seating when the public makes its next use of the stadium in mid-April for the Kansas Relays, according to Baier. The first
seating bank may also be finished by then, he said.
Lonborg hopes a "considerable" portion of the addition will be completed by KU Relays time. "I think at least enough will be finished to give us some idea of what it's going to look like." Lonborg said.
The present press box will be in use for the Relays, according to Lonborg.
BAIER, WHOSE home is in Salina, said this the first stadium project he has directed. He said his past experience has been limited to missile bases and buildings.
"This is about the same, only more beams and columns — that's all." Baier said, comparing work on the stadium to the construction of a missile base.
Estimated cost for the stadium expansion is $680,000. This figure includes architects' fees, an elevator to the press box and construction costs.
THE ORIGINAL estimate for the project was $600,000. The Wichita
construction firm made a low bid of $702,898 in early December. A committee headed by Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry and chairman of the Athletic Board, negotiated with the construction firm to lower costs.
The expansion is financed jointly by the Athletic Corporation's reserve funds, a 20-year loan from the Endowment Association, and private donations.
A drive for donations, headed by Eugene W. Morgan, vice-president and treasurer of Spencer Chemical Co., Kansas City, Mo., has been successful, according to the Athletic Board.
THE SEATING addition will bring the stadium's total capacity to 44,900 seats. This figure includes 2,000 existing temporary seats.
The new seats will extend 10 feet beyond the north goal line and 40 feet beyond the south end mark.

A triple-deck press box, 97 feet long and 20 feet deep. will be built on top of the seating addition.

Common Market Boss Slaps 'One-Power' France
Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1963
STRASBOURG, France — (UPI)—European Common Market President Walter Hallstein, in a slap at France, urged member nations today to oppose "the appearance of a one-power" dominance of the European community.
Without mentioning France by name, the German head of the sixnation market's high commission blasted President Charles de Gaulle's regime for the way it vetoed Britain's bid to join the Common Market.
Hallstein spoke at the opening of political debate in the Common Market Assembly, composed of members of parliament from France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
THE SESSION WAS expected to bring attacks on France's black-
balling of Britain's entry bid from all member groups — even opposition factions within the French parliamentary delegation.
Hallstein said the door "must remain open" to Britain and "we must work out solutions for the period until the British adhesion."
The manner in which a member government has made and communicated its decision to interrupt the negotiations does not conform with the duties which are derived from the community," Hallstein said.
"THE CONSEQUENCES of this interruption affect the whole community and not one state alone. Even for the right of veto there are rules and certain considerations to be observed.
"We must avoid giving the impression that the community and its
Campus Bus Service Added To Shows, Shopping Centers
Relief is in sight for the weary students who have been walking downtown to a movie or to an outlying shopping center.
Starting Monday students in the various women's dormitories may obtain rides on a special bus provided by the Lawrence Bus Co. which will be en route to the downtown movie theaters, the Hillcrest and the Malls shopping centers.
THE NIGHT CAMPUS bus run will continue. But, because of few night passengers in the past, the night fare has been doubled to 20 cents.
The present day fare of 10 cents for campus travel remains unchanged, a Lawrence Bus Co. official said today.
Schedule changes in the regular run are being made to accommodate students in the West Hills areas of the KU campus.
ACCORDING TO SUZANNE Runnells, Greeley, Colo., junior and ASC representatives, the special bus services will be available each hour.
Arrangements are also being made to set the fare for the special run at 20 cents per round trip.
Space Trip Postponed
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — The space flight of U.S. Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper Jr., has been postponed for another two weeks because of mechanical trouble in the rocket.
Cooper, who was scheduled to fly April 2, might be able to make his planned 22-orbit voyage around the earth either April 14 or April 23.
The trouble in the rocket craft was described as a "minor but time-consuming problem."
This trouble is the third post-empoment of the Cooper flight. The first
shot was scheduled for late last year, but was postponed when the Federal Space Agency ran short of money for the Mercury project. It was rescheduled for late February, but scientists pushed it to early April.

objectives are mere instruments of national diplomacy," Hallstein declared.
Fair and unseasonably warm today and tonight. Wednesday partly cloudy and cooler. High this afternoon 65 to 70. Low tonight 30 to 35.
"THE ONLY WAY to put a halt to the appearance of one-power hegemony is to reinforce the community organization whose function constitutes the perfect refutation of all tendency toward hegemony," Hallstein said.
The bluntness of Hallstein's statement surprised most of the lawmakers attending the session of the European "Parliament." At the time of the futile Brussels negotiations on Britain's entry, Hallstein took no strong public stand against the French action.
WEST GERMANY, Italy Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg feel that De Gaulle's action set back plans for European economic development and political integration. Western unity has been split since the Brussels talks collapsed last Tuesday.
The Common Market's future was due for a thorough airing in the assembly, an advisory body composed of members of parliaments of the Common Market countries. The commission headed by Hallstein formulates policy for the six-nation trade bloc.
THE ASSEMBLY session opened yesterday with a report from commission vice-president Robert Marjolin that economic progress by the Market was good in 1962, although it was not so pronounced as in 1961.
Former French Premier Michel Debre, a member of the French delegation, explained De Gaulle's position. He said France ended the negotiations because Britain refused the basic Market demands that farm policies be coordinated rapidly and tariff walls be erected quickly against outside agricultural producers.
The exclusion of Britain from the Market has put the government of Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan under mounting pressure at home. Macmillan has been forced to seek alternative means of bolstering the sagging British economy.
Macmillan's government managed to survive an opposition Laborite motion for censure last night, 317 to 36, but the debate in the House of Commons demonstrated the seriousness of Britain's unemployment. The Conservatives announced a $57 million program to pump new life into the economy.
