Liz Taylor's Got It arvard News Editors Want Their Bust Back BOSTON, March 1 (UP) Ed itors of The Harvard Crimson want to know what Elizabeth Taylor is doing with their bust. Miss Taylor, here for a Red Cross rally, was presented with a bust of "Fabian Fall" before she left by air for Hollywood today. The award was made by the editors of the undergraduate humor magazine, The Lampoon. But when editors of The Crim son, the Harvard Daily, learned about the presentation, they an nounced that "Fabian" was theirs. The bust, they said, was taken from a room in the Crimson of fices sometime during the night. The trouble began last month when The Lampoon awarded Miss Taylor a "Roscoe" for "so gal JEAN BLOOM ham, alumnae chairman, Anne I Brewer, Nancy Her, J. K. Rich i ardson, Grevilda Snyder, Rosalie Varn, and Bobbie Whipple. Although there is no limita tion or set "procedure as to the number of tappings each year, the organization usually taps in' thex fall and spring quarters. All selections made are com pletely secret and new members are not forewarned. Continue and sorority houses for the next three days in the effort to, get to those who were not contacted during the first of the week. The booth will remain open in the lobby of the Y to receivej:on tributions from students ; living off campus and'any' others who have not yet made donations. Funds may' also be turned in at Chest headquarters in the Y Cabinet Room. "This is . an effort to make it possible for more students to con tribute to the Chest drive since such a small number have so far been contacted," Payne said. He- issued a special appeal to all students who have not made their donations "to do so as soon 'as possible." Chest Treasurer Charlie Fox said last night that $1,762 "had been taken in so far in the cam paign. This included reports from about hali of the solicitors and covered 1,009 students. A portion of this amount was in cash or checks, the rest in pledg es. The figure includes donations from students only. No faculty contributions have been tallied as yet. All of the money collected in the Chest drive will go into a central fund to be devided among six organizations being sponsor ed in the drive. lantly persisting in her career despite a total inability to act." Then, in an apparent gesture at reconciliation, the Lampoon ed itors met her at the airport today and presented her with the "Fab ian Fall Award" for being "the actress who has shown the great est improvement as. result of the previous receipt of the Roscoe." Miss Taylor said, "It's very sweet of you boys." The Crimson said, "We want it back." Fabian Fall, the editors said, was president of The Crimson in 1909 and the bust was kept in a room given in the youth's mem ory by his family. "We are working to bring about its return," the editors said. ou-hcf Beaman Asks Consideration Of New Ruling No Veto Coming, Sanders States On Controversy By Chuck Hauser Student Council Chairman Larry Botto said last night that Allman Beaman, disqual ified University Party candi date for head cheerleader, has requested an opinion from the Council on the new elections law which disqualified him. Botto called a meeting of the campus supreme court for Monday night at 7 o'clock in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial. He said Beaman had asked the Council to determine the con stitutionality of the law which requires all candidates to main tain a C average for three quar ters prior .to running for office. "Beaman is not appealing his disqualification," Botto explain ed, "since technically he has never been of f icially nominated or officially ruled disqualified by the Eelections Board. That wouldn't happen unless his party turned in his name as an official nomination to the Board. He is merely asking the Council to de cide whether the bill is constitu tional or not." Meanwhile, Prcrident John Sanders yesterday dispelled any idea of a veto of the controversial elections law which has disquali-s tied at least nine - candidates for office, and called the effect of the law to date "the best possible argument for its staying on the statute books." - Sanders said the Student Leg islature passed the law on his re commendation and. "because there was a real need for it. Obviously the need was much greater than any of us thought," he '8dded. Among the nominees disqual ified so far arc Bill Prince, Stu dent Party candidate for pres ident of the student body, Daily Tar Heel Editor Roy Parker, Jr., nominated by the SP for a second term, and University Party head cheerleader candidate Allman Beaman. Sanders called discussion of a possible veto, repeal by the Leg islature or Student Council dec laration of unconstitutionally "silly rumblings." "The expost facto argument raised against the elections law amendment requiring a C aver age is ridiculous," the student body president said. "There is no prohibition against an ex post facto law in the Student Con stitution. Even in the state and federal constitutions, the ex post facto prohibition applies only to criminal law. "By definition," Sanders con tinued, "civil law and public law cannot be considered ex post facto. Tax laws and many other statutes which work retroactively are frequently passed." Sanders said the law "incon veniently caught many people with their pants down scholast ically." But no person with less than a C average, he maintained, '"has any business in student government." He continued, "Not only is his own acadeniic work in jeopardy, and in need of all of his time. He either won't be able to do a competent job in government; be cause his time must be spent studying, or else he is in danger of flunking out of school." attle Park Project B eg i n s To m 6 rrow - "' - Forest Theater Planned As Rendezvous For Some 75 Students; Picnic To Follow An early' spring cleaning will take place in Battle Park tomor row afternoon at 2 o'clock, with a picnic and entertainment furn ished by Alpha Phi Omega ser vice fraternity sparking the pro ject.

The School of Textiles at N. C. State College is unable to meet indus try's demands for its graduates, Dean Malcolm E. Campbell told the North Carolina Textile Foun dation today.

Darden ordered a full investiga tion. ' ' Fletcher, who also is freshman athletic coach, shrugged off the incident. He had become accus tomed to such tactics, he said. For years, Virginia students have filched corpses from the laboratory during the initiation season.

Troops of five United Nations ground ahead up to three and a half miles - all along the 50-mile central front. They were driving to annihilate some 90,000 Chinese in the Yongdu-Hoengsong-Hong-chon triangle. The spearheading Marines smacked down a Chinese counter attack a mile and a half west of Hoengsong. Then they slashed and blasted their way to heights northwest of the town near the arterial highway up to Hongchon. A late front dispatch hinted that the Chinese might be aban doning the Hoengsong area after suffering heavy casualties in the fierce struggle with the Marines. It said a large group of Red troops was moving north-west out of the region. Westward 16 miles, troopers of the U. S. 1st Cavalry Division captured strategic Hill 318, just outside Yongdu, in a bayonet charge. They thus won command of the ruined village and the road to Hoengsong.

Bowers defeated Student Coun cil member Bob Evans for the presidential nomination. The vote was not announced. The SP nominated Otis Mc Collum by acclamation to run for the at-large Student Council seat which Bowers was running for prior to his presidential nomination. John Sanders, president of the student body, last night said in Bowers the campus "has an op portunity to elect a person of the highest integrity, ability and scholastic standing. His maturity, intelligence and insight will be sorely needed next year in the presidency." Sanders continued, "while not typed as a campus politician, Bowers is well experienced in the operations of student govern ment, and capable of doing an excellent job." At the opening of the party meeting former presidential nom inee Bill Prince told the group he was not attempting "to pull the wool over the party's eyes" in accepting the nomination when he was not eligible to run. Prince said he would not run now even if something happened to void the law which disquali fied him. He called the bill "a good law."
