Car Freeze
Stabilization
Is March 2
Effective March 2 will be a
set dollars-and-cents ceiling on
till used ears and a ban on the
sale of new cars at inflated
prices in the used car market.
The announcement was made
by the office of price stabiliza
tion. The new regulations will
go into effect March 2.
The move was designed to stop
the two practices which occurred
during World war II.
Bruce Morris, chief of the
agency's automobile pricing divi
sion, said the move was designed
to halt a "widespread" flow of
new cars into the used car mar
ket and to prevent used cars
from selling above new car
prices.
Under the new ceiling prices,
the price schedule for used cars
will be based on prices listed in
guide books employed by used
car dealers as a yardstick of
values.
Morris explained that since
automobile prices et the manu
facturer's level were frozen on
Dec. 18,- some dealers across the
nation have been selling new
cars in the used car market at
prices above the retail list price.
U.S. Planning
Big-Four Meet
Going ahead with plans that
Russia might possibly veto, the
United States is planning a Big
Four deputies meeting in Paris
next month.
The United States, Britain and
France are insisting that as a
condition to the Paris session,
Moscow must be willing to talk
about its own military power as
a major cause of tensions in the
world.
From notes exchanged between
the three countries and Russia,
the west "assumes that the So
viet government does not object
to the representatives of the
four governments" preparing for
a future Big-Four foreign min
isters meeting a program "which
will cover the causes of tension
in Europe."
Reds to Defend Han
River "at any cost"
On the western Korean front,
Chinese and Korean reds served
sharp notice that they will de
fend the Han river against any
allied attempt to force it and
take Seoul on the north bank.
On the central front red
armies retreated north Wednes
day, abandoning their dead and
supplies in hasty flight.
Two United Nations spear
heads which crossed the Han
river were thrown back while
entrenched communists poured a
deadly rain of fire into allied
positions on the south bank.
United States warships bom
barded the Wonsan area for the
seventh consecutive day and also
hit the Seoul area.
The 45,000-ton United States
battleship Missouri- knocked out
three bridges and reduced rail
way installations to a mass of
twisted wreckage Tuesday at
Tanchon, red-held port 170 miles
north of the 38th parallel.
Atom Only Effective
Weapon Against Russia
Atom-bomb carrying bombers
are the "only effective weapon"
this country has for dealing with
Russia in event of. war. This an
nouncement was made by Curtis
E. LeMay, who commands the
United States fleet of atom
bomb carrying bombers.
At the request of Senator
Wherry (r., Neb.), LeMay testi
fied before the senate foreign
relations and armed services
committees on the troops-to-Europe
issue.
When asked if Russia could be
knocked out by long-range
bombardment the head of the
strategic air command replied,
"I don't know. That's my job to
try and achieve that end," he
eaid.

Hearings
On Representation
The first five articles of
the Student Council were tentatively approved by the Coun
cil Wednesday afternoon.
The articles, which comprise about half of the new
constitution, had been recommended by the faculty-student
committee in charge of the revisions. The remaining arti
cles will be presented for the Council's approval next week.
The name, purposes, powers,
name, purposes, powers,
representation and filing and
election provision are included
in the first five, articles. The
most controversial issue of the
discussion so far has been the
proposed representation of cam
pus organizations on the Council.
One Change Noted
It was tentatively decided by
the Council members to leave the
representation as originally rec
ommended, with the exception
that the Residence Halls for Men
and the Residence Halls for
Women will be classified as units,
rather than men's and women's
dormitories. This classification
was made because the latter term
might be interpreted to include
other residence houses.
The faculty-student committee,
whose duty is to suggest advis
able representation, will hold
hearings on the subject some time
next week. A time will be an
nounced when representatives of
the various organizations and
groups may voice their opinions
before the committee. The com
mittee's recommendations will
then be submitted to the Student
Council.
Student Health Discussed
The Council also discussed the
cost of Student Health service and
the value of service received.
Kent Axtell, representing the
campus improvements committee,
presented the facts reported by
Dr. Samuel I. Fuenning, director
of Student Health. He explained
the increase in health fees and
clarified the various uses of the
money received.
Members of the council voiced
several objections to Student
Health services, including ex
amples of "typical gripes." Presi
dent Bob Raun suggested that the
committee write letters to other
large midwestern schools, re
questing information about their
health services and costs.
The student rtttivities commit
tee, headed by Betty Green, pre
sented its recommendations con
cerning the ISA problem. In
cluded in the recommendations,
which were unanimously ap
proved by the Council, were sug
gestions for improvement of the
organization through various
means.
The first suggestion of the
committee was for revision of the
ISA constitution to broaden the
purposes of the organization.
Other suggestions called for close
supervision of ISA by faculty and
Student Council representatives.
Jim Tomasek, president of ISA,
testified in connection with com
ing ISA elections. He said, "There
has been absolutely no response
to the announcement of the forth
coming election of ISA officers.
As you know, we can't hold an
election without candidates," he
added.

Several University students
were madly hurrying back to the

a local hill of much repute. They

Dr. Fuenning
Gives Student
Health Report
Results of an investigation of
the University student health
Student Council campus improve
ments committee, have been an
nounced. The report was made in Coun
cil meeting yesterday. After talk
ing to Dr. Samuel Fuenning, head
doctor of student health, Miss
Hubka and Axtell presented the
facts.
Before this school year $5 of
the registration fee has been go
ing to student health. Since the
increase of $5 in registration fees,
an additional $1.50 has been des
ignated for the health center,
making a total of $6.50 that the
student contributes.
Dr. Fuenning said that the in
crease was needed to make up for
the deficit in student enrollment
and to maintain approximately
the same overhead.
The institution' maintains a
staff of: two full time doctors, 18
part time specialists, ten consul
tants, 3 lab technicians, 9 full
time nurses, 3 part-time, "one
ward aid, clerical help, cooks and
assistants.
Approximately two-thirds of
the cost is resolved In personnel
and one-third in materials and
maintenance.
Services made available by stu
dent health include X-rays, casts,
electro-cehalo tests. These ser
vices may be obtained at a dis
count in relation to fees charged
by independent physicians. Dr.
Fuenning said.
Fee charged for one day at
student health is $2.50. Private
hospital rates run from $8 to
$10.
Student health has facilities for
X-rays, physio-therapy, allergy
treatment and darkroom proce
dures. The night call practice was can
celled when it was felt that the
practice was too expensive and
not effective.
Medical care may be received
24 hours a day. Dr. Fuenning
said that this reduces the possi
bility of contagion spreading and
makes possible quicker relief and
treatment.
Student health maintains 15
bedrooms with a maximilm ca
pacity of 25 beds.

One definite improvement
Carmody noted, however, . -was
the need for a new pharmacy

already appropriated in the
budget for repairs and general
improvements.
Tour Campus
The eight members of the
committee visited the city campus

lege and Love library excellent
and beautiful structures. The
group thinks that the dental col

physical plant at present is in
fair condition considering the
enrollment.

Carmody said the group gained a
very favorable impression of the
