Buckl )'Speaks Hei William L. Buckley, auth "God and Man at Yale," will night at 8 p.m. He is being presented by th Functions in cooperation with The Student Committee was chosen by ODK from the student body at'large in cooperation with President Russell and may even tually handle its own programs. Sne of the objects of the Com mittee is to secure as many promi nent speakers as possible for presentation. Controversial figures may be presented from time to time, such as Mr. Buckley. In his book, "God and Man at Yale," Buckley vehemently attacks the academic freedom as practiced in most universities. With the ad vent of "McCarthyism," he has again come into public view. He has made numerous speeches and radio addresses attacking what he calls complacency toward Commu nism. In many instances he has defended actions of Senator Mc Carthy. The Student Committee has urged all students to attend, as the success of this program may de termine future action on speakers. Members of the Committee have also stressed the fact that they are impartial to speakers and that the Couittee does not necessarily in dorse the views of any speakers it presents. The object of presenting such a controversial figure as Buckley, they admit, is to stimu late student and faculty interest in such programs. Maxcy Ball Is Returned By Mr. Chips The Maxey Monument ball has reappeared as mysteriously as it disappeared more than a week ago. Early risers Tuesday morning first noticed its presence. It was evidently replaced sometime dur ing the early hours as it had not been returned Monday night. A note reading, "Happy Birth day, President Russell," was stuck on the gold colored ball with tape. It was signed, "Mr. Chips." A birthday party for President Rus sell Monday night might have prompted its return. Campus police saidl that a bon fire on Melton Field between one and two a.m. attracted campus pol.ge and that the ball wvas p)rob) ably replaced at that time. A spokesman for the Buildings .and Grounds Dept. said that a newv hall had been made for the monu ment and would have replaced the missing one in a few days.

Furnishings which are not provided by the universit'y, such as rugs and curtains, are not to be taken into consideration in judging the appearance of a room. 2. Careful attention should be given to the appearance of floors, especially to cleanliness. While the janitors are suppsed to mop and sweep floors, there are no regu lations against students doing this also to help keep their rooms in order. The judges will keep in mind, however, that the floors of some of the dormitory rooms are easier to keep than others. 3. Window sills will be inspected for dust. 4. The interior of the window panes should be inspected for cleanliness. 5. The tops of dressers, tables, and book cases will be inspected for dust and for the order in which the articles on them are arranged. 6. Closets will be inspected for orderly arrangement of shoes, clothing, etc. (Continued on page 6) ring semester Monday. They are unley Krugman of Phi Epsilon P1, Sigmm Phi Epsilon, vice-president,
