Wisconsin students some pointers
for choosing husbands and wives.
The speaker was DR.. Judson Lands,
sociology professor at Michigan
State college. He spoke in the ma
jor in marriage" lecture series
sponsored by the YMCA and
YWCA.
Lands said that sit" was not
nearly so important a criterion as
most students supposed, hut he
admitted that he couldn't define
cit" You all know what 1 mean"
he said.
The professor advised the goods
to let the man do the pursuing, and
told the men students to 'be care

He suggested that parental ap-
prevail, similarity of religion and
outlook, adjustability and emotion
al maturity were sound basis for

ECONOMY:
Budget Cut Hinted

Observers are predicting another
battle in congress in IN attempt to
cut President Truman's budget for
the coming years.
According to some reports. Re-
publicans are backing a move for
a new cut of the budget which the
house last month trimmed $2,068,-
500, 504.
Some senators would like a fiat
cut across the boards. But others
want to exempt the military estab-
lishment, the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation, and defense spending.
A means Of making the cuts on the
Senate floor is being sought if the
trimming is not done first by the
Senate appropriations committee.

SUPREME COURT:
Three Decisions

The U. S. supreme court has
handed down three decisions in
the current civil rights controversy
which will have far-reaching reac-
tions.
The court held that segregation
of Negroes in railroad dining cars
violates the Interstate Commerce
Act, that Negro students must be
admitted to the University OF
Texas law school because the
state does not afford them facili-
ties equal to those for whites, and
that Oklahoma had been discrimi-
mating against Negro students at
its state university law school by
segregating them in classrooms
and elsewhere on the campus.
The court, however, did not go
into the cases as deeply as the
justice department desired.
For instance. the justice depart
ment argued there can be no such
thing as separate but equal" ia
SAlitiCo anu GCdbilACiii. -
ed the mere fact a Negro has to
use a separate public facility pre-
vents him from having an equal
facility. 1t is just as sensible, the
department argued. to say that a
thing can be "black but white" as
to insist it can be separate and
equal"
Observers point out that had the
court gone into the matter as
deeply as the department asked
and ruled in it's favor, there would
have been practically nothing left
of segregation laws.
Some students Of government be-
lieve such a ruling would have
been a great deal more far-reach-
ing than the passage by Congress
of the much debated F. E. p. c.
The court, however, adhered to
its long established practice of not
determining constitutional issues if
other grounds for decisions exist.

IOWA ELECTION:
Bronnon Plan Test

The nation watched with interest
the final outcome of the primary
election in Iowa. And the out
come was what seasoned polieital
obervers expected-a final cam
paign between Albert ]. Loveland
and Sen. Burke B. Hickenlooper.
There was more to it, however,
than just the outcome of a primary
election to determine the Demo-
cratic and Republican senatorial
candidates this fall.
Loveland, former undersecre-
tary Of agriculture. campaigned
against five other Democrats U.s.
ing the Brannan farm plan as his
main weapon.
On the other hand, Senator Hick-
%enlooper is a strong opponent Of
the plan. He won the Republican
nomination easily over two oppon-
ents.
Thus, the fall campaign takes
shape. Political observers see
Loveland campaigning with the
Brannan plan as the main plank
in his platform, while on the other
hand. Hickenlooper will take his
stand against it. Political OBJ
are looking forward to
this final test on the much de-
bated plan in the heart Of Ameri-
cas- farm belt.
Political observers also pointed
out that it is almost a sure bet now
that President Truman and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brannan will
campaign In Iowa for Loveland.
