The political campaign seems
to have frustrated at least one
University student. Bemoaning
the accusations, mud-slinging
and lies of the last few months,
the student Tuesday came up
with a practical suggestion to
make it easier for voters who
are left disillusioned and de
jected by American politicking.
The solution?
A special square on the bal

"There are no other organiza

twin assaults on the Eastern and Central fronts. However, it was
the ouietest dav alone most of the front in almost a month.
The Communists launched their attack in eastern js.orea ior me
first time in recent weeks with a 700-man attack against wean
break Ridge. Allied troops killed or wounded at least 100 Commu
nists in four hours. The Reds a so had five nuisance attacKS
against United Nations troops in Punchbowl Valley about 25 miles
east of Heartbreak.
J.N.: Three Resolutions
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. Canada told Russia the fighting must
stop in Korea before there can be any political settlement. It urged
the United Nations to support the American sponsored resolution
"so that the enemy may know our unanimity of purpose in seeking
an armistice in Korea worthy of the sacrifices made by countless
individuals in the struggle to throw back aggression."
Three main comDromise efforts in the Korean crisis are ex
pected to be formally introduced:
1, An Indonesian plan to comDine American ana xuissian reso
lutions. It would agree with the Red theory that return 'of war
prisoners is diplomatic practice but would call for an "exception"
in Korea because of the special nature oi tne u.in. -ponce action
there.
2. A Mexican resolution providing that prisoners unwilling to
go home be re-settled in U.N, member countries willing to accept
them.
3. A Peruvian plan providing for an immediate cease-fire and
creation of a new U.N. commission to settle the war prisoner ques
tion. The American proposal formally introduced last week provides
for U.N. endorsement of non-forcible repatriation of prisoners and
for an appeal to the Reds to accept a truce on these terms.
The Russian resolution would create a new U.N. commission to
eek settlement of the Korean question. It does not mention the
prisoner issue.

ers mentioned aoove, xne pro

Faculty Quota Not Reached;
Chatfield Asks For Donations
Only 80 per cent of the faculty's
quota for the Community Chest-
Red Cross drive has been reacnea,
Lee W. Chatfield, assistant to the
Dean of Student Affairs and head
of the faculty drive, reported to

that the faculty could match
the performance of the students
who have exceeded their All
University Fund quota, 40 per
cent of which goes to the Com
munity Chest and Red Cross.
This sum is combined with the
$13,800 goal of the faculty
drive to fulfill the Community
Chest-Red Cross quota for the
entire University.
Chatfield made a plea to all
University officials and workers
to contribute if they have not al
ready done so. A full report of
the faculty donations will be
made at a luncheon Wednesday
noon which is the official end of
the drive. Chatfield said, how
ever, that if the quota has not
been reached by that time, the
