No decision was reached Friday
at a meeting of an Innocent-Mortar
Board committee held to con
sider whether Phi Mu Alpha Sin
fonia, men's professional music
fraternity, or Kosmet Klub should
supervise the annual Ivy Day Sing.
Under a proposal submitted by
Sinfonia, independent men's or
ganizations would be eligible to
compete. Only social and medical
fraternities are now eligible under
Kosmet Klub rules.
The Student Council recently
transferred authority over the Sing
to the Innocents and Mortar
Boards.
Ron Becker, spokesman for the
Phi Mu Alpha representatives at
the meeting, stated that Sinfonia
feels it is "the logical and quali
fied group" to supervise the Sing
"because of our musical back
ground and training."
Phi Mu Alpha, he said, is a pro
fessional music group which has
goals of furthering music in Amer
ica and recognizing "outstanding
worth in musical activity."
The music fraternity feels that
it "can impartially and strictly
enforce the rules of the Sing,"
Becker explained. The rules re
lating to medleys, number in the
group singing and soloists have
lacked proper enforcement in pre
vious years, he stated.

Montgomery
In the last decade man has be
cejjne much more world minded,
Dr. Arthur Compton, nationally
known scientist In natural philoso
phy, said Monday evening in the
first of the 1955 Montgomery lec
tures. Dr. Compton explained that it
is now the duty of man, especially
in this country, to realize the posi
tion he is in and work toward a
solution of the problems he now
faces. Modern man, he said, must
accept as the first condition for
his survival the will to live and
grow.
Knowledge and strength to
meet the obstacles and dangers in
the path of establishing enduring
peace with freedom are available
to man. Dr. Compton said.
Man is a part of nature, but he
is extraordinary in that he is
aware of what happens and is able,
within certain broad physical limi
tations, to make things happen as
he wishes, Dr. Compton contin
ued. Individual "Sets t'Gwwttf"""
The satisfying life is attained
when one feels that his growth as
a person is proceeding according
to the norm he has set for him
self, Dr. Compton said. To estab
lish this norm, influences from
within and without, psychological
and physical factors are important,
he said.
Man's relationship to the world
around him is the most influential
factor in giving meaning to a per
sonality. Among the most signifi
cant factor in these relationships is
that between man and his God,
Dr. Compton added.
Religion, he said, is perhaps the
major source of the vitality of a
person's life. Physical determin
ism no longer exists, he said.
The theory of physical determin
ism states that man's actions are
movements of he atoms in his
body, and responsibility for his
actions is a fiction.
"Moral responsibility can no long
er be said to be inconsistent with
physical law," he said.

chairman, said the proposed rules
would allow any men's organiza
tion with elected officers and be
tween 25 and 100 members to com

'Few Applications' Received
By KK For Ivy Day Sing
Marvin Steinberg, Kosmet Klub
secretary, said Friday that "few
applications" have been received
so far for this year's Ivy Day Sing.
The deadline is March 15.
"As far as I know, we are still
responsible for the Ivy Day Sing,"
Al Anderson, president of Kosmet
Klub, said Monday.
He said that Friday he discussed
present Kosmet Klub rules for the
Sing with the Innocent-Mortar
Board committee considering
whether Kosmet Klub or Phi Mu
Alpha Sinfonia should supervise
the Sing.
The rules governing the Sing
were altered Jan. 20. Only frater
nity songs will be allowed.
Steinberg said that the minimum
number of singers will be 15, the
maximum number 25. No medleys

Rogers was not available for
comment additional to his com
ments in a Nebraskan interview
following his resignation Thursday.
Frank Halgren, assistant dean
of student affairs, said the matter
was an "internal affair." He said
it was a personal matter whether
or not a person wants to resign
from an organization.
No other members of the Inno

On a smaller scale, the theory
states that every cell in man de
velops while performing and is kept
alive so that this function can be
performed. When the cell ceases
to perform its function the process
ceases, but man remains.
The concept of organism gives
rise to the term interdependence
of people in modern society, Dr.
Compton said.
The principal conclusion is that
we consider him as a person in
relation to the world around him
and to the inner voices within
him," he said. The healthy growth
of man implies opportunity for de
velopment in both of these direc
tions. Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin in

Compton Awarded
'27 Nobel Prize
Dr. Arthur Compton, distin
guished service professor of Nat
ural Philosophy at Washington Uni
versity, St. Louis, will be at the
University throughout the week of
ficially delivering the 1955 Mont
gomery Lecture series.
"Conditions for the Survival of
Modern Man" is the formal topic
of his lectures, though he will also
speak at three seminars during the
week.
In 1927 Dr. Compton, a cosmic
ray authority, was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physics for his
work on X rays. The "Compton
Effect," which he developed, shows
that X rays, through radiation, act
like solid particles when scattered
by reflections from atoms.
During the years 1931 to 1934,
the famed physicist directed the
World Survey of Cosmic Rays.
From 1942 to 1945 he directed the
U. S. Government's Plutonium Re
search Project.
Dr. Compton was named,, disrl
tinguished service professor of Nat
ural Philosophy at Washington Uni
versity, St. Louis, after serving as
its chancellor.
The recipient of many awards,
including the Franklin Gold Medal
of Franklin Institute in 1940 and
the Freedoms Foundation Award
in 1952, he invented the sodium
vapor lamp, established variation
of cosmic rays with latitude and al
titude and initiated and directed
development of the first atomic
chain reaction and the first quan
tity production of plutonium.

'Faction' Representatives
Appear Before Committee
By SAM JENSEN
Copy Editor
Friday's meeting of the faculty
subcommittee on student organiza
tions saw the first open contact of
the All University Party and the
University administration.
Although the petition recommend
ing a secret ballot in Student Coun
cil meetings with the exception of
elections was not initiated as an
All University Party proposal, three
students who spoke in behalf of the
petition identified themselves to the
committee as representatives of the
AUP and presented a statement of
purpose concerning the petition.
Charles Gomon, drafter of the
statement, said that "Faction"
members had passed the statement
unanimously. The statement, in ef
fect, was the first act of the AUP
as directed to the University, stu
dents and administration.
Gomon said that during the
course of their interview with the
committee that they (the AUP rep
resentatives) were not told that the
petition had been denied. He un
derstood that the second meeting of
the committee and the "Faction"
was to concern the petition and ac
tion was still pending on this mat
ter.
"Our understanding," Gomon
said, "was that the committee
would defer action on the petition
until the position of the All Univer

The Outside World-
UN Condemns Israel
By DICK
Staff Writer
Israel was condemned as the aggressor in the recent clash with
Egyptian forces, killing 38 Egyptians and eight Israelis. The United
Nations Israeli-Egyptian Mixed Armistice Commission in a meeting on
the Israeli-Egyptian border adopted an Egyptian resolution declarinj
the attack violated the General Armistice Agreement which ended the
Palestine war in 1949.
At the same meeting, the Commission voted against a complaint
by the Israelis claiming the Egyptians were the instigators of the
clash. Israel has appealed the decision to a special committee headed
by the chief of staff of the Truce Supervision Organization.
Malenkov In Danger
Speculation on the fate of former Soviet Premier Georgi Malenkov
became pessimistic as Pravda, Russia's most important newspaper,
charged him with expressing views "useful only to imperialist war
mongers." A year ago, Malenkov had declared in an election address that if
world war breaks out "with modern weapons, it means the end of
world civilization." He is the only ranking Soviet statesman to have
ever expressed this view, which Pravda termed "theoretically wrong
and politically harmful." The article condemning Malenkov was signed
by a high ranking writer on party matters, leading observers to
believe that Malenkov may soon be formally charged with serious
ideological heresy. -

decision to seat a representative of
men's co-ops on the Student Coun
