-Authority Delegation:
MIS Court System
Debated By Coeds
A delegation of AWS authority
concerning the infringement and
court system is under considera
tion by organized bouses and house
officers.
Housemothers and house officers
met with the AWS Board Tuesday
afternoon to discuss the proposal,
which would allow a house repre
sentative to campus girls breaking
rules, according to rules set down
in an AWS rule book and a stand
ard guide. More serious or unusual
offenses would be handled by the
AWS court.
House representatives would meet
with housemothers to determine
whether a girl should be campused,
excused or sent to court. The rep
resentative would have the authori
ty to accept legitimate excuse.
"The proposal involves an ad
ministrative change, tind would not
put house representatives in a hard
position" in my opinion, Paula
Broady Wells, AWS president,
said in Tuesday's discussion.
The ultimate decision rests with
AWS Board members, but houses
are being consulted to allow the
board to vote fairly, she said.
AWS sign-out committee will still
check sign-out sheets, Kay Nosky,
AWS vice-president, said. A bouse
that continually turned in sign-out
sheets without evidence of infringe
ment of rules would be subject to
some suspicion, she said.
Penalties would not be arbitrarily
handed out to offenders, she said.
AWS desires a more personal con
tact with the students, which is not
possible due to time shortage un
der the present arrangement, Miss
JJosky stated.
Questions were raised by house
officers concerning resentment to
ward the representative who would
have the authority. Representatives
would hand out only mechanical
penalties, she answered.
All bouses expressed willingness
to cooperate with the system, should
it be passed. Some houses did
voice objections to the proposal on
the ground that the present AWS
system is effective and respected
by women students.
"The board feels that the indi
vidual woman would feel she knew
eiid understood more of various
aspects of AWS rules," Miss JJosky
a)d.
la the past, an AWS ruling has
been accepted without question, she
said. The board feels that more
student comment wuld be an ad
vantage, she added.
The proposal would elevate the
house of representatives to an au
thoritative position in the AWS str-

Hardin Speaks:
Dinner Honors 13
For Long Service
Thirteen staff members who
have served 25 years at the Uni
versity were honored at the an
nual faculty homecoming dinner
Tuesday evening at the Union.
New staff members will be in
troduced by the deans and direc
tors. Chancellor Clifford Hardin
was the principal speaker.
Those receiving certificates were:
Miss Mamie Meredith, assistant
professor of English; Charles Mil
lier, assistant professor of physical
education; Mrs. Angeline Anderson,
assistant professor of home eco
nomics; Dr. M. Basoco, professor
of mathematics; H. K. Douthit, su
perintendent of the school of agri
culture at Curtis.
Dr. L. W. Lancaster, professor of
political science and chairman of
the department; Dr. Thomas Ray
sor, professor of English; Dr. Carl
Rosenquist, associate professor of
agricultural botany; Miss Harriet
Schwenker, assistant professor of
commercial arts.
Dr. Llyod Snyder, associate pro
fessor of agricultural economics;
Dr. J. L. Sellers, professor of history
and chairman of the department;
Lloyd Teale, assistant professor of
romance languages; and Walter
Weiland, professor of mechanical
engineering.
Now is the time for higher edu
cation to plan for growth and ad
justments which are inevitable in
the years immediately ahead,
Hardm said in his address.
Hardin cited these four trends
which he said bear upon Ameri
can educational efforts, methods,
and objectives.
Those include population growth
pattern; rapid adjustments in liv
ing habits resulting from the in
creased mobility of the United
States population and such devel
opments as suburban communities.
Also, growing American interest
in international affairs and the
general realization that trensions
cannot be suddenly relaxed or ex
plosive problems speedily re
solved and the soaring demand for
higher education affect education,
he said.
'The impending flood-tide of en
rollment." Hardin said, "poses a
question of particular importance
to the public university. By herit
age and by law we are committed
to the encouragement of bro&d and
equal educational opportunity.'
Higher education has yielded to
demands for specialized training
d-sring the past half-century. Chan
cellor Hardin said.
"The issue is not whether pro
fessional training on one hand and
liberal education on the other are

compatible. They can be. The
question, rather, is one of empha
sis. The real danger lies not in the
over-production of trained people,
but that trained people will not be
sufficiently educated to compre
hend the value of freedom, and
will not be able to recognize a
threat to freedom when they dis
cover it or know how to defend
it when it is under attack," he
said.
A public university cannot and
should not become a protagonist of
any religious sect or creed, he said.
Neither should there be an Iron
Curtain which seals off teach
ers and students from the basic
principles of Hebraic morality and
an understanding of the Christian
faith, Hardin added.
Universities cannot make their
maximum contribution to satisfac
tory individual living unless and
until both the minds and the souls
of their students are stirred, he
said.

Activity Limitation:
Wove Explains Plans
or Enforcing Rule
btuaent council has appointed a
special committee for the specific
purpose of investigation infraction
of the activities limitations rule,
according to Skip Hove, Council
president.
This committee will work
through the office of Student Af
fairs where officers of all campus
organizations are listed.
Members of the committee are
Sherry Mangold, chairman, L e n
Schropfer, Ken Vosika, Trudy So
kol and Bemie Wishnow.
Hove explained that the Council
will not interfere until there is an
actual infraction of the rules. The
activity limitation ' rule is not re
troactive so persons now holding
offices may still -hold them but
students can accept no new posi
tions which would be in conflict
with the rule.
In case of an infraction, the per
son would have to give up the last
accepted position-in other words
the one whicn produced the in

The rule applies to a list of 24
major campus activities. A per
son, under this rule, can be presi
dent of only one of these organiza
tions. The other half of the rule af
fecting other positions stipulates
that a student may be a board
member of only two of the listed
activites.

Officers of the covered activi
ties are required to have a 5.7

The rule to limit activities was
proposed in the Council last
March and occasioned much heat
ed controversy.
The rule was proposed after a
committee from the Council inves
tigated University activities. The
committee gried to analyze the re
lationship of activities to the total
University program.
The conclusion of the committee
was that there was too much un
used leadership potential on cam

the desire of the Council to increase
opportunities for leadership re
sponsibility. This rule takes the place of, and

limited activities for women stud

Outside World:
Nixon, Cabinet Licet
By BARBARA SHARP
Staff Writer
Vice-President Richard Nixon, keeping the wheels of government
turning during President Eisenhower's absence, announced that the
National Security Council and the Cabinet will meet to consider matter
which he termed "of a routine nature."
An increasingly important question raised as a result of Ike's
absence concerned how much presidential authority can be delegated
to Nixon and his aides. Nixon announced that Attorney General Herbert
Brownell, Jr., would attend the Security Council meeting to give an
interpretation of the delegation of authority,
Brownell, however, said that in view of Ike's "encouraging" prog
ress, g may not be necessary for a meeting to discuss the delegation of
authority. "There are legal ways and meant to assure the orderly
functioning of the government under the Eisenhower policies," he de
clared. Dr. Paul Dudley White, "the heart specialist attending Ike, said that
Eisenhower "will be much better off to take up some of his duties
than to worry over neglecting them while he recovers."
Egypt Accepts Russian Arms
Egypt informed Britain that she has accepted an offer by Russia
to supply her with arms and military equipment, in spite of a plea
by the U.S. and Great Britain in New York that there should not be
any race to supply arms to the Middle East.
The United States, Britain and France have tried to maintain a
military balance of power aod to prevent an arms race between the
Arab countries of the Middle East and Israel, under a declaration
signed among the Big Three in 1950.
Although a state of armistice "exists in the Middle East, the Arab
countries including Egypt are still technically at war with the State
of Israel. (
Ladejinsky Tangle Called Error
Denying security clearance to Wolf Ladejinsky, a Russian-born spe
cialist on land reform, wss termed a mistake by Secretary of Agricul
ture Benson.
In spite of the fact that Ladejinsky had bei cleared by the State
Department and had worked In the Tokyo Embassy, he was refused
security clearance by the Agriculture Department Unt January.
Ever since that incident Benson said that his department's aecurUy
program has been overhauled. He acMed that newspaper criticism of
his decision in the Ladejinsky esse "caused me more concern than
ever" about t'.-c Agriculture Department's security program.
