The formerly "top secret" Yalta papers were made public Wednes

demanded sweeping concessions from President Roosevelt in the Far
East, and that Roosevelt, anxious to
war against Japan, agreed to them.
In Great Britain, Prime Minister

the papers released were "the American version and in no sense an
agreed official record of th powers concerned." He said be had

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.

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.

Interfraternity Council, the third
IFC founded in the country, will
celebrate its 50th birthday this
spring.
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
