aft Says War Risk ncreased by Pact
Calls for Complete Discussion'
Of I ssues Before US Signs
[WASHINGTON, Mar. 30.—(UP)—Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., Mo, said tonight that the North Atlantic Security Pact |ight increase the chance of another world war, and called i the Senate and public for a “complete discussion” of the sues before binding the nation to abide by it.
Vierheilig Sees Unified Row After Election
|Taft, powerful chairman of the* ^nate Republican Policy commitvoiced grave fears about the Insequences of the pact in an adless prepared for broadcast over le Mutual Broadcasting system ftwork.
|He said that despite provisions [serving to Congress the right to Iclare war, the pact in effect would |nd this nation morally to go to ir if any member nation in Eu-is attacked, either by Russia or ie other power.
‘‘I am inclined to believe, there-|re, that if we adopt the treaty, should do so with the frank Imission that we are committing irselves to go to war if Russia at-licks one of the Western European itions,” he said.
'While he did not consider this a jnclusive argument” against tne Ireaty, Taft said he was fearful that Is terms, lasting over a 20-year ;riod, might “make us a policeman ar all Western Europe” even if Lussia became peaceful in the Meantime.
His most serious concern, how-t-er. was that the pact nations lay give the Russians the impres-|on, at letst justified by themselves, lat we are ringing them around |ith armies for the purpose of un-?rtaking aggressive action when le time comes.”
[ “They may feel that if war is to >me, they had better undertake it ;fore these armaments are built he said. “Under such circum-f,ances the pact, instead of being deterrent to war, might become In incitement to war and make it lore probable instead of less.” Urging the people of the nation to Jeserve judgment until there has peen “complete revelation of our >lans and obligations and complete iiscussion of the fundamental issues Involved,” he said:
"The decision we make involves the very lives of millions of our citi-;ns and the future of free govern-lents.”
Cigar-smoking Ed Vierheilig, first fraternity politician to call his hand in the coming ASSC presidential election, yesterday predicted unified Row support for winners in the fraternity primary.
“Before I enter the preliminary, I’m going to insist each candidate sign an affidavit pledging support to the winner. I’m certain the Election Primary committee will agree to this stipulation,” Vierheilig said.
“The committee has turned down a similar measure, but I've talked to some of its members, and they now view the situation in a different light.
“Unless this restrict >on is adopted,

ED VIERHEILIG . . . demands support
and split the Row vote,1* Vierheilig said.
“If candidates submit affidavits, they will be at least morally obligated to support primary winners. Each member house would also pledge wholehearted support. By establishing these requirements we can put some teeth into the EPC,” he said.
Regarding his own candidacy, Vierheilig said he has no organized support otner than his own fraternity, Delta Chi.
“I'm not a machine candidate.” he said. ‘ I've entered the race because I feel my service in the Senate gives me experience that cannot be matched by other candidates.
Counseling Aid Form Devised
A special form has been worked out by the counselor of men’s office to aid counselors in determining why students end up on scholastic probation. Dr. Albert Zech said yesterday. The form was drawn up after 1326 students were placed on probation.
While interviewing a probation student, the counselor checks tho difficulties which seem to be the basis of the student s trouble, and then makes recommendations on how to correct those problems.
Some of the difficulties which might be checked by the interviewer are poor academic background, poor study skills, family and financial troubles, and lack of study.
“We are going to help the rehabs and GIs first,” Dr. Zech said, “and then we’ll work with non-veterans.”
“However, if anyone who is not on probation desires counseling, he should come in and n\ake an ap~ pointment. He may have to wait a few days, but we’ll be glad to talk to him as soon as possible,” he continued.
Three graduate students in education are assisting Dr. Zech with the counseling service.
The five prospective sweethearts are Pat Johnson, Delta Gamma; Ellagene Kennedy, nonorg; Marty Martin, nonorg; Pat Sommerfieid, Tri Delt; and Lyla Tilston, Delta Gamma,
Vocalists Buddy Greco and Terry Swope, saxophonist Wartell Grey, the Clarinaders, and the Sextette, an instrumental combo, will be presented in an hour-long specialty show at the all-U dance.
The dance will last from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. The S3 bids can be purchased at the University ticket office, 209 Student Union, or at the booth in front of Bovard.
Goodman appraised the 20 original Sweetheart contestants at the Kappa Sig house Tuesday. He was especially impressed with the five finalists. Said the renowned clarin-etter wistfully: t.
“I would trade my clarinet for a chance to be a young college man again.”
Squire President George Wood said that the Knights plan to present a publicity stunt for the dance on University avenue at noon today. He did not disclose what the evc^t would be.
Wolfgang Wows 'Em
Mozart Pleases Noon' Audience
by Jim Saulsbury
Wolfgang Mozart was neatly [wrapped up and handed out in [Bovard yesterday when the opera jdepartment, under the direction of |Dr. Carl Ebert, presented scenes |from three of the famous Austrian's speras on the weekly Music at |Noon program.
The first two selections were Isung :n Italian alter John Tumble-Ison summarized the stories for the I audience, and the third was sung in | English.
The singers wore present day | dress, and props were nothing more than bare necessities: some glasses to drink from, chairs to sit on, a desk to write on. and a tree to hang from. The piano acoompani-prat of Wolfgang Martin kept the
mu«ic moving along without lagging.
Thomas Burdick, Earl Conklin, and Theodore Uppman sang the first scene from *Cosi Pan Tutti.” Sometimes an arm go: out of control and made a broad gesture that is more appreciated in Europe than America, but their acting pretty well conformed to American tastes.
In the “Marriage of Figaro'’ selection Barbara Butterfield sang the maid, Susanna, and Pat Brin-ton took the part of the countess. Miss Brinton’s big offering was the “Dove Sono” aria, which was rated by the late Alma Gluck as one of the most difficult ever written. The music is slow and the phrasing is so ticklish that Miss Brinton had to grab for breath in carefully cal-
culated places or bo.ch the whole thing. She did a good job of it.
The program finished with an English translation of part of “The Magic Flute.” George Wood played the disheartened Papageno who was about to hang himself in loneliness and Jay Kim sang the cute Papagena. The bird dance these two went through as they .had their first quarrel and reconciliation had the audience drowning out the music with laughter.
The opera department, in choosing Mozart for j:s part in the Music at Noon series, showed that the versatile Austrian, almost 200 years after he wrote his operas, is still interesting, amusing, and well worth listening to.
Aeneas Men Page Singers
Singing sons of Aeneas will warble again at 6 tonight for their third weekly community songfest.
“The-e sings are beginning to crescendo,” said Frank Mead, Aeneas social chairman. “Last week we had twice as many songs ers turn out as before.”
“Tonight, we hope to hear some voices other than those of Aeneas-ites. These sings are open to the entire student body, women included.” he raid.
Ron Secovich will handle the accompaniment chores. Music sheets will again be provided by Hillel.
“We have a whole new sheaf of songsheets,” Mead said. “We're sticking to the old pop numbers that everybody knows.”
The community sings are held in the lobby of Aeneas hall.
SC Team Tests Drug in Tahiti
Hetrazan, a new drug used to combat f-lariasis, is now being extensively tested in TahLi by an SC research project, Dr. John F. Kessel, project director, said yesterday.
Dr. Kessel, head of the medical bacteriology department, has just returned from a tour of the Tahiti project.
Started last September, the research project is attempting to find a method of combatting tilar-ia-is, a disease spread by mosquitos. The final stage of this disease is elephantiasis, which is characterized by extreme swelling of body areas.
CARRIERS FOUND
When the SC project reached Tahiti there were six known species of mosquitos carrying the disease. Since their arrival, the SC ento-molcgi ts, under the supervision of Dr. Henry K. Beye, have found eight more known carriers.
Threfe methods of combatting the disease are now in operation in the Tahiti area. In one area the population is bemg treated with hetrazan, another area is sprayed periodically with DDT and the third area is sprayed with DDT and the people are being given .hetrazan.
PRESENTS PAPER
Nearly 40 per cen; of the population in the Tahiti area show microfilaria in their bloodstreams, Dr. Kessel said. Some nearby areas probably contain a higher percentage, he believes.
Dr. Kessel combined ms visit to the Tahiti project with a trip to the Pacific Science congress at Aukland, New Zealand. As one of the U.S. delegates, he presented a paper on fungus diseases encountered in the southwestern United States.
