In 1908 the Reg ister and Leader became the Reg ister and Tribune. During this time, Cowles, Jr., had been graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, in 1921, and re ceived his A.B. degree from Har vard in 1925. Upon his graduation he assumed the position of city editor of the Des Moines Register and Tribune.

Cowles later purchased the Minneapolis Star. After this ven ture, another new addition to the journalism field was being con templated. Launched Look The younger Cowles chose the Look publication because Life magazine—started at the same time L—was going to be primarily a news magazine, and 'Look was after mass circulation. He was convinced that pictures should be chosen because they are interest ing—not because something had happened last week or the week before. The first press run of Look was 400,000 copies but within ten days \ there was a demand for 835,000 copies.

The AsSembly's ready agree ment to debate the case despite Soviet delaying tactics indicated the Allies' stand would win strong support.

This was disclosed yesterday after the Senate Committee on Student Affairs sub committee on organization and control met to review the charters of the two parties. The Senate must charter the parties because All-University Cabinet decided several weeks ago it did not have the power to do so. Sophomore Committee Appointed A new means for student lead ers to keep in touch with students has been established by Samuel Wolcott, sophomore class presi dent. Wolcott recently named an unofficial sophomore class advis ory committee. He said, "The purpose of this committee is to advise and aid me and also to co-ordinate their re spective living units with me." Members of the committee rep resent almost every living unit occupied by sophomores. Qualified students from living areas not represented will be selected later, he said. The committee members are Atherton: Nancy Scholl, Suzanne Scholl, Mariana Roth, Susan Brainerd, Claire Ganim, Marian Weaver, Judith Hance, Virginia Hance, Suzanne Capper, Frances Hoffman, Miriam Jones, Joan Fry, Anne Beebe, Nancy Marshall, Barbara Hendel, Carolyn Davis, Carolyn Wetterau, Alwilda Van Atta, June Koziar, Margaret Boyd, and Eleanor Kosarowich; Sim mons: Marjorie Blank; McElwain: Meredith Miller; Grange: Judith Tame.

'- The U.S. delegate also called on the Communists to send home a total of 2840 UN personnel he said had not yet been repatriated un der Korean armistice terms. He charged the Reds still have not accounted for 470 Americans. Lodge said earlier the Chinese have admitted holding four U.S. jet pilots in addition to the 11 Peiping says- have been jailed as spies. Lodge took the floor after the 60-nation Assembly beat down dogged Soviet attempts to keep the item off the agenda and voted 44-5 to begin , debate at once with o u t going through - committee According to the All-University elections code, parties were to have been* chartered by Cabinet. The committee itself could make no official statement on the meet ing, pending a report of their findings to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. The student affairs committee must make the final decision on the chartering of the poiltical parties. In its report to the political parties, the subcommittee said the constitutions of the two par• ties were vague and full of loop holes, rgiatt By DON SHOEMAKER Dictatorial Practices According to an unofficial source, the report cited this vague ness as an evident design to lo cate the clique power in the clique chairman, leading to a dictatorial setup within the parties. Some of the general questions raised by the subcommittee about the constitutions included the following: 1. What are the aims and pro cedures of the political parties? 2. How do the parties select nominees in All-University elec tions? 3. How are class and clique of ficers elected? 4. What are the parties' finan cial provisions? 5. What is -the delineation of power within the parties? 6. Provision for bylaws. Specific Recommendations The specific recommendations made for the revision of the con stitutions were said to have in cluded: 1. A clause containing the ten ure of office for clique officers. 2. That the parties' steering committees be composed of a ma jority of elected • members, al though provision for some ap pointed positions is feasible. 3. Party finances should be supervised by Associated Student Activities. This is already provided for un der the elections code, but is not included in the party constitu tions. ' 4. A clause providing for the removal of clique officers. 5. A clause stating parties must be bound by the elections code and elections committee as pre scribed by student government regulations. 6. A clause clarifying that party officials are responsible for the proper conduct of their parties, both internally and in campaigns. (Continued on page eight) Ask channels. U.S. sources predicted there would be no opposition ex cept from the five-nation Soviet bloc and perhaps a few Asian- Arab nations. In his attempt to kill off the item, Russia's Jacob Malik argued that the Assembly had no right to intervene because the Ameri cans were on a spy mission and could not be classified as war prisoners covered by the armis tice. Malik's spy charges were echoed by representatives of Po le') .'. and Czechoslovakia, wh o tried to put up procedural barriers to immediate debate. In a broadcast heard in Tokyo while the UN debate was in prog ress, Peiping radio said the UN should "condemn severely the ag gressive act of the United States in sending spies into China."
