The present rule states that in order to have a parking sticker, a student must resid more than eight blocks from the cam pus.

In Great Britain, Prime Minister of the Yalta "big three" told the House of Commons Thursday that the papers released were "the American version and in no sense an agreed official record of th powers concerned." He said be had seen only extracts appearing in the press and "even these disclose some serious mistakes." Labor Votes Out Bevan Britain's Labor Party booted leftist Aneurin Bevan from party ranks at a secret meeting Wednesday. Bevan has continually chal lenged the moderate party leadership of former Prime Minister Clement Atlee and has refused to follow party discipline on several occasions. The close voting, 11-112, is said to be indicative of the major split in the Labor Party, which Prime Minister Churchill's Conserva tive Party hopes will assure it of a victory in a general election which must be called sometime before October, 1956. 1 Senate Approves Harlan The Senate has approved the appointment of John Marshall Harlan as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, clearing the way for action on the controversial public school segregation issue. Supreme Court arguments on implementing the abolishment of segregation have been up since the death of Justice Robert H. Jackson last October. Opponents have attacked the appointment of Harlan on alleged lack of judicial experience and association with internationalist groups and with former New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey.

"We felt that by exercising the right of political assembly, we were an asset to the University's political funcitions," AUP repre sentatives said. So, they continued, they came above board and publicly supported a petition to the Student Council considering the abolishment of the secret ballot in the Student Coun cil. Faction officals added that they felt the petition was discarded by those who considered it not be cause of what was in the petition but because the organization "spon soring it was an illegal one.

Math Lecture Geometric Method Useful In Problems "The method of geometrical or ideal presentation is useful for solving any problem," Dr. George Polya, professor of mathematics at Stanford University, said Tues day in a classroom lecture at the University. To solve a problem more easily, Dr. Polya said one should rely heavily on past experiences or formulas which can be used to solve the present problem. He said the problem does not exist until there is a determined desire to solve it, then the problem must be seen in general, not just the part that requires solution. To illustrate this point, Dr. Polya drew a representation of a cone with its top cut off, which he referred to as "the lampshade." He then proceeded to solve for the area of the lateral surface of the "lampshade" by a method he described as a "backward solu tion." To explain the "backward solu tion," he drew several completed cones alongside the "lampshade" and by computing their related parts by simple formulas, he was able to solve the more complicated problem of the "lampshade." "Generally, a person trying to solve a problem does not know what he wants," Dr. Polya said. He outlined some steps which a person should take to make the solution of the problem easier. These are: (1) a firm resolution to solve the problem; (2) list the knowns and unknowns of the prob lem; (3) plan, try to connect the present problem with a familiar problem having the same or a similiar unknown; (4) carry out the plan, and (5) examine the solution Obtained. Dr. Polya received his Ph. D. from Budapest, Hungary, Univer sity. He came to the United States in 1940, and became a natu ralized citizen in 1947. In addition to being a corres Nineteen Initiated By Agronomy Club The Agronomy Club recently in itiated 19 new members.

A huge birthday cake with 50 candles will be cut by IFC Presi dent Bill Devries at the next meet ing to celebrate the event. IFC originated as a small social group in 1905. The organi7rtion has grown to become a place 'or airing fraternities' problems. A scholarship trophy was ori ginated by IFC this year. Plans for its presentation are Indefinite, ac cording to Devries. The trophy will be awarded d the fraternity which has shown the most scholastic improvement with in a given period of time, Devries said. Information Booklet IFC has also begun planning for an intramural trophy to be awarded next year. Fraternity rushing pamphlets were abolished hy the group this year. Instead, an IFC-sponsored hook containing information about itives that the illegality of their I organizations was considered in stead of the sound democratic principles of the petition, they said. The All-University Party was composed of 20 fraternities on the University campus, each house having one vote. The delegation from each house consisted of one voting representative, one alter nate and one freshman. MeetingF were held at various houses every other Wednesday. The meetings were held from one time to another in whatever house vol unteered to hold them.

Secondary Education Language Conference To Meet Next Week A committee of Nebraskans will attend three evening meetings at the University during the next week to study foreign language education in elementary and sec ondary schools. This conference is a forerunner of a UNESCO conference on the same subject scheduled for April 30. The University is one of several institutions across the nation to survey training programs which bear upon the zntional interest. The National Com mission for UNESCO is interested in the prob lem because of the national ex perience during World War II. Nebraska is about as low as any state with regard to the extent languages are offered in secondary and elementary schools, Dr. Charles W. Colman, associate pro fessor of romance languages, said. Only 8.7 per cent of Nebraska high school students are studying ETT3 fl U Dues all fraternities will be published, at an estimated cost of $2000. Other activities of IFC included a party for orphans in December, a movie about fraternities for ed ucational purposes and the IFC Ball featuring Louie Armstrong. A ditto machine was purchased this year to help fraternity presi dents and speed IFC office work. An alumnae file for the use of fraternities was set up In connect ion with the University Alumnae Association. The file lists all fra ternity alumnae and their present officers. Serves University The purpose of D7C is to be of service to the University the com munity and the fraternities, De vries said. Frank M. Halgren, assistant dean of student affairs, commended the IFC for raising the minimum ini tiation average from a 4.5 to a 5. "It is a decided improvement; house scholarship is higher as a result," Hallgren said. ' "In the six years, I have been AUP was to elect candidates for campus offices and to promote bet ter interfraternity cooperation, principally in political affairs, their officials said. "We felt we would get our min ority opinions expressed in student government," AUP officials stated. The only penalty for not voting was a one dollar fine for each person in a house who did not check his name off a list after voting in campus elections. "We couldn't check on how they voted; we just wanted them to vote," Faction officials added. Instead of the pancake feed originally scheduled, there will be a waffle feed from 6 to 7 p.m. Chaperons and judges are Messrs. and Mesdames Karl Loerch, Chase Allred and T. H. Goodding. Co-chairmen are Twilt Riley and Charlie Trumble. Trumble said there are 13 Or ganized houses and departmental clubs entering the carnival this year. He added that the city YWCA is entering a booth for the first time. Organizations participating, their booths and chairmen are: Alpha Gamma Sigma, "Pixies in Profland," Oscar Blomstedt; Home Economics Club, "Pixie Patch,rt Elaine Sackschewsky and Sis Matzke; Love Hall, "Pixie Play ground," Doris Fisher and Joan Hathaway; University 4-H Club, "Beat the Pixie Clock," Ruth Ana Clarke; Loomis Hall, "Put the Pixie in the Dark," Marilyn Shel don and Nancy Wilson; V.

Only 68 high schools offer lan guages. The percentage of secondary students enrolled in language courses has decreased steadily since 1919, he added. "Children can achieve a native pronunciation if they learn a language at the elementary school level," Dr. Colman said. Children who have learned a language at grade school level are more apt to retain their knowledge. "Between World War I and World War II, the teaching of for eign language in U.S. schools de clined eo sharply that the armed forces had to establish their own schools to teach languages," Dr. Colman said. The first committee session will be under the direction of Allan Lichtenberger, director of research for the state department of public instruction. It win be at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Burnett. adviser to IFC, there has been con tinual improvement in the effec tiveness of the Council as a group," Harry L. Weaver, associate pro fessor of botany, said. IFC contributions to the overall welfare of the University have been considerable, Weaver sa'd. Campus Improvements Clarence Frankforter, for 17 years adviser to IFC, commended the organization for its increasing efforts to cooperate with Univer sity officials. The IFC campus improvements committee is searching for a worth while University project to support both financially (and with work, De vries said. IFC is also considering the spon sorship of a needy student with scholarship aid, he added. The student would not necessarily be a fraternity man, be said. Dick Westcott, Delta Upsilon, is vice president of IFC; Willard Campbell, Phi Gamma Delta, is secretary, and Walter Wright, Del ta Tau Delta, is treasurer.
