SENATORS QUESTION

mator June Tapp suggested to •Littie Hoover” Wiggins, who ented the report, that members ler sex should be represented in jortion to their number among total student population.

Gone Wampus Found; Goes On Sale Today
Approximately 7000 copies of the Wampus, missing since Tuesday night from a storage bin behind the university incinerator on 37th place, were discovered last night by alert Wampusmen in a vacant lot near the Delinquency Control institute.
Campus police report that two men were seen dumping the journals in the early evening. Neighborhood moppets who were playing in the lot at the time say the strangers told them the magazines were "too hot to handle.” University authorities declared the culprits, if arrested, face possible expulsion from school as penalty for bungling the theft. As a consequence. Wampus officials are hurling accusations of the crime at university authorities.
The humor magazine is on sale this morning in front of the Student Union.
New Party Formed; All-U Support Sought
Complications were added to the campus political picture yesterday by the announcement of the formation of a new political party.
John Roach and John De>vlin, Lambda Chi Alpha members, announced the formation of the Student party whose
* primary objective to heal the split between organized students and in-
Social Work Speech Set
Arlien Johnson, dean of the School of Social Work, will explain “Careers in Social Work” at 3:15 p.m. today in the art and lecture room of the University library.
“Social work is known as the shortage profession." Dean Johnson said. "For every graduate there are three positions.”
The variety of positions and the range of employment in the field is unlimited and beginning salaries coincide with those in the education profession, she added.
To get into social work, a student must have a liberal arts education majoring in social science, she said.
Knights Battle Formation of Rival Group
The battle of the Knights continued yesterday at the organization meeting of the new Independent Knights.
Ron Crawford, member of the rival Trojan Knigfits, stirred things up by advancing reasons why there wasn't room enolgh fcr the two Knight service clubs.
Crawford stated that as long as tlie Trojan Knights were on campus the Independent Knights could never get into any athlgtic activities.
Sandy Gillette, chairman pro tem of IK. said. “We do not know why our organized brothers consider us a rival organization.
“ We were gratified at the enthusiastic response of students interested in joining.” ’said Gillette.
Some fraternity members said they would be interested in joining since they are excluded from other service organizations because of the quota limitation that accepts only one member from each fraternity house, he said.
The 9 a.m. session was limited to a discussion of procedure and other technical details. Petitions for membership will be made next week, he announced.
It was suggested at the meeting that sweaters of the Independent Knights be chartreuse. Some felt this would be a better color to adorn the orchestra seats at football rallies than the color the student body has been accustomed to seeing for many years.
There will be another meeting next week, the day and time to be announced later, Gillette said.
SC Politicos Surprised by New Faction
Campus politicians yesterday expressed surprise at the announcement cf the formation of the new Student party.
“Its all news to me,” George Prussel, Greater University party chairman, said, summing up the general reaction.
Al Wiggins, candidate for GUP’s ASSC presidential nomination, made no comment. Unity candidate, Ed Stegman said he was “curious to know if Henry Wallace is behind this third party, too.”
George Woolery tock a deep draw on his pipe, thought a moment, | then said. "Third parties are a natural phenomenon.”
O’SULLIVAN SURPRISED Frank O'Sullivan, Unity chairman, expressed surprise that John Roach and John Devlin, organizers of the Student party, considered it necessary to form a new party to achieve an org-non-org reconciliation.
“I don’t see the need for a new party to accomplish the same purpose that Unity has consistently fought for.” he said. “If Mr. Roach and Mr. Devlin are really sincere we invite them to join Unity.”
Jack Shaffer, presidential aspirant who has asked for both Unity and Row support, expressed the same reaction.
“I've always considered that the principle which these gentlemen espouse—working in the interests of all students, regardless of affiliation—to be the cardinal tenet of Unity,” Shaffer said.
COMPLICATES SITUATION Doug Morgan, seeker of the Row presidential nod, said in reference to Roach and Devlin:
“I have no doubt of their sincerity, but I think it will probably complicate the already clouded political situation.
“However,” Morgan added, “there is a place for every political party if each one sincerely wishes to present the candidates best qualified on a basis of leadership, constructive action, and integrity.”
ASSC President Bob Padgett seemed happy at the prospect of a slam-bang election campaign.
“The formation of new campus political parties indicates a healthy interest in student government,” Padgett said. “I consider it a compliment to my party, Unity, that its program seems to have been adopted by the Student party.”
Eaton Is New Veep; Runoff for 2 Posts
Nicki Hastert was elected AWS president yesterday by a 2-1 majority over write-in cai»* didate Carol Kingsbaker.
Jeanne Eaton was chosen AWS vice-president.
A runoff election will be held for the offices of secretary and treasurer between Marilyn Judd and Carolyn Schiller, and Francis Blevins and Janet Ewart, respectively. The election date will be set later, said*-*--*

dependents.
“In the present Senate,” Roach said, ‘ politics have replaced principle. If Unity introduces a proposal, the Row is automatically against it, and vice versa.”
The chief occupation of the Sen- 1 ate factions, seems to be bickering, he said. He accused both sides of "lots of talk but very little action.” The new party has no prearranged candidates, Roach said.
“We invite all candidates to appear before us to state their platform and objectives,” he said. An

Roach said he is not a candidate himself and has no personal political ambitions.
He said he is in favor of the Senate having more power in the conducting of student affairs and opposes affiliation with NSA at this time. However, he emphasized that these are his own personal views and not necessarily those of the Student party.

Dr. Rehman said that he and his associates were now working on a method for inserting the opaque material used in X-raying into the heart so that it will be possible to observe action occuring in the chambers. This achievement may prove to be a great development in studying cronic cardiac conditions, he said.
Development of the X-ray movie camera started in a laboratory in Hancock hall during the war. The difficulty in constructing the camera was in syncronizing the shutter to the pulse of the X-ray machine which operates on a frequency of 60 cycles. This was remedied by setting the shutter so that 60 exposures a second are taken.
