Elections at Carson Hall have not yet been completed. Hendricks now has five repre Statistics Show _______ (Continued iroin page one) The tie-game-player-loses gim mick makes it next to impossible to pick and spot 12 or 16 winning teams. Based on last year’s statistics of 150 college football teams, one game in 20 ends in a tie. If you pick four teams, the sheet will give you odds of 8 to 1. The real odds are 24 to 1. The real odds on picking five teams are 53 to 1; you get 12 to 1. The higher you go the more you lose. The odds are 2,834 against spotting 10 winners; if you do hit it lucky you get odds of 100 to 1. You get four cents on the dollar. Twelve winners will net you odds ©f 200 to 1, the actual odds are 13,900 to 1. For the most part if you must gamble you are better off to stick to the slot machines. They are il legal but pay between 20 and 40 cents on the dollar. The parley sheets are printed by a national syndicate in Portland and distributed to the local mer chants. The syndicate states that they have $20,000 cash capital deposited locally to guarantee payment of forecasts. In case you lose, as everyone does, you can collect double on the losses. Before any suits are brought you must first prove that picking the winners is gambling and that you lost money. sentatives in inter-aorm tuui.u. and Heads of Houses instead of one.

Dull, authority on the Far East, Tuesday night discussed past and current foreign policy of the United States toward China in a speech to the University Foren sics group. His address centered around the problem om the Communists in China and procedures for the Uni ted States to follow. The methods employed by Russia in China now are distinctly not Chinese, but as long as the Orien tal is fed, he will listen to what you say,” Dull said. “We also have no assurance that China, under Mao Tze Tung will not be Moscow controlled. “When China needed help in 1923 Russia helped her. Chiang Kai Shek ran China on a plan learned in Russia from 1923 until 1927 when the Communists were forci bly pushed out and driven under ground by the Rightist of Chiang’s government.” Nothing much was done about China until 1944, Dull continued. “The aim of the United States since then has been to keep the Russians out,” he said. "The Unit ed States knew even in 1944 that the Communists would win in Chi na if a civil war broke out between them and the Nationalists. It is now a question of what the United States can do about China, Dull said and concluded there are four possible answers: (1) We can send arms to bolster the Chiang government. (2) Dispatch United States troops directly to China to fight the Communist elements. (3) Recognize the Communist party in China. (4) Or just do nothing which Dull said was our present policy. He said the proposal of sending troops to fight in the civil war is absurd and arming the National ists equally untenable since 94 per cent of arms already sent them have fallen into the hands of the advancing Communists. “Possibly the best policy is to do nothing,” he concluded. Much of his presentation was based upon the recently published “White Paper” issued by the State Department. NIGHT STAFF Night Editor: Bill Stanfield.

The proposal which he presented would require the United States to take gold from our treas ury to establish an inconvertible dollar economy for Western Eur ope. The skepticism of the American people Dr. Piquet believes will prevent the adoption of such a plan, but it is the ultimate neces sity to work towards these ends if the Western democracies are to achieve prosperity and security.
