Along 145-Mile Korean Front
Compiled by Mary Ann Mov.'ery

'I he Communi ts arc building up their artillery ])o\vcr along
the I 15mile Korean front but apparently for defensive pur
poses, an <St11 Army spokesman said Tuesday night.
I lie Neds started their build tip of artillery last summer, the
spokesman said, and at the same time increased their firing
effectiveness. As a result of the present “twilight” war, in
which there has been no big scale action, the Communists have
been able to move their guns up to the front and dig them deep
into the ground, he said. However, he added they still arc so
far behind the front lines that only the heavier guns of the
Allies can reach them, he added.
A U.N. spokesman in Korea . . .
... in more optimistic than the Peiping raido in on the question of
getting an uctual armlstlc. Brigadier General William Nickols said
he hopes the Redd finally will niak • some substantial move toward
meeting the U.N. halfway in the truce talks and he added:
“We still have hope for a realistic settlement.”
t There was no hint, however, that any progress along that line would
come out of tonight’s meetings.

French and loyal Viet Nam troops . . .
... supported by artillery and planes have defeated thousands of
Veit Nam Communist Rebels in a three-day battle, the French high
command announced Tuesday.
The battle was fought in the back Ninh area of the Red River
delta about 20 to 2r> miles northeast of Hanoi. French and Viet Nam
mobile units attacked a force of 6.000 to 7,000 rebels after intelligence
reports disclosed they had massed in the area.
Heavily-armed bandits . . .
. . . Tuesday held up the National Bank of Mexico, which provides
quarters for the U.8. consulate, and escaped through the center of
Juarez with 1,000,000 pesos which is equivalent to $116,000.
Workers in the consulate and in other offices above the bank didn’t
know anything about the robbery, however, until they heard the sirens
of ai riving police cars and went down to see what was the matter.
Iran will not accept Robert Handey . . .
... as the new British Ambassador to Tehran, officals said Tuesday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the cabinet last night.

Majority Says
Honor Group
Should Be Open
By Jean Lewis
Of the student# awked the ques
tion of the day, "Do you think stu
dent# have the right to know what
i# taking place in the ASUO honor
code investigating committee?"
Most #aid they thought it should
be open to all who wished to at
tend.
Other# said it should be open to
class representatives, while a few
said that it should be left private.
Verna Shilllngton freshman in
sociology —‘‘It should be open since
everyone will come under the hon
or system."
Jean McCormick.freshman in
English “They should be allowed
to go because it’s of interest to
everyone."
Mary Sundet freshman in lib
eral arts “It should not be open
to everyone but a representative
from each class should be allowed
to attend."
John (iram senior in economics
—"I can see no reason why it
should not be secret. Responsibil
ity lies with the senate and it
should be secret until they present
a program and work out all the de
tails. It’s quite an undertaking.
Publicity might hurt them before
they have a concrete program set
up.”
Bill Lees- graduate in political
science—"They should be open.
There should be an open investi
gating committee of senate mem
bers to call upon investigations to
determine the feasibility and prac
tibility of the system and to deter
mine if people are morally condi
tioned to it and if it will work.”
Sheila Fitzpatrick freshman in
journalism—"It should just be
open to officers or representatives
of each class. If it were open to
i '-veryone it might be used to per
| sonal advantage.”
Bill Hall- sophomore in liberal
arts "It doesn’t bother me. Ill
just go on living no matter what
they do."
Marcia Tamiesle — freshman in
business—“I don’t think it should
be open. The decision should be left
up to the committee.”
