Di Senate Holds
Final Meeting
Of Year Tonight
The Dialectic Senate meets to
night at 7:30 in New West for
the last open session of the year.
The bill for debate and discus
sion will be the recently pro
posed amendment to the Student
Legislature's constitution that
will go before the campus for a
vote in the near future.
President Johnson announced
that leading advocates ot the
amendment from the Legislature
will be present to speak for the
bill. If the campus passes on this
legislation, the Legislature will
have the right to amend their
constitution without student
ratification except that it may
not abridge the right of the
"student body's right to initia
tive referendum."
The bill is the outgrowth of the
Legislature's "freezing" com
mittee's research. It does give
extraordinary powers to the leg
islature and is to last for "the
duration of the emergency."
The Senate cordially invites
everyone to attend and discuss
this important campus issue. Es
pecially invited are all organiza
tion officers, and student legisla
ture members. "

auffmann Appears Here
As Spring IRC Speaker
Speaking in favor of an international union which would be fa
vorable to the United States, Henrik de Kauffmann, Denmark's
minister to Washington, said in his address last night, "We would
be willing to pay any price fpr a union which would insure peace."

hall last night under sponsorship
of the International " Relations
club. - -
The minister, who was intro
duced by Dean R. B. House,
spoke in favor of free trade af
ter the war, and emphasized the
importance of recognizing ra
cial and national differences in
the peace.
Danish Aims
Asked about Danish peace
aims in an interview yesterday,
de Kauffmann smiled, "We have
no aims but peace. The minute
the Germans get out of the coun
try, there is no problem."
Sabotage in the small kingdom
has been growing increasingly
effective, he said, and the num
ber of arrests with it. Despite
Nazi publicity to the effect that
Danish freedom remained unim
paired with their occupation, he
said "Danish freedom ceased en
tirely the minute they entered."
Danish Fears
The Danes entertain no fears
of Russia, the minister said, but
fear only their neighbors to the
east who have already proven
themselves untrustworthy. Be
fore the war, Denmark was the
dairy supply for both Britain and
Germany. Asked what would be
the country's trade policy with
Germany after the war, he ex
pressed the hope that the post
war settlement would provide for
free trade, which would do away
with any such dilemmas.
The diplomat was entertained
with a dinner by the IRC yester
day during which he displayed a
deep interest in and knowledge of
sports. He has scaled the Matter-
horn, Mount Ranier in Washing
ton and some of the Himalayas,
has won a number of skiing
championships, and is a horse
backriding enthusiast.
Traveling Envoy
Having served in the Danish
legation in most of the countries
now actively engaged in the war,
the minister's knowledge of the
Germans, Italians, Japanese and
Chinese was often apparent.
Serving in Germany immediate
ly after the war, he believes that

Will Get Models
In Auction Sale
NEW YORK (UP)
More than 2,000 examples of
American inventive genius went
under auctioneer Bundle Gil
bert's hammer at the Architec
tural League here yesterday.
These are but a part of the 250,
000 patent models acquired re
cently by a syndicate of which
Mr. Gilbert is the head. The col
lection was originally purchased
from the government in 1925 by
Sir Henry Wellcome, American
born British scientist, when the
patent office was cleared out.
Until 1880 it was necessary for
an applicant for a patent to sub
mit a working model and among
the models in the group are such
items as the first doll's head on
which a patent was granted, sev
eral washing machines dated be
tween 1840 and 1850, the original
fruit jar patented by John Mason
in 1890, 50 or 60 various types of
locks and burglar alarms, an ex
tension fire escape which was the
forerunner of the modern extension-ladder
fire trucks, and mod
els of complicated machinery for
making paper bags which actual
ly turn out small bags when op
erated. The collection has aroused the
interest of various state histori
cal societies who wish to preserve
in their museums. the results of
the labor of their state's inventors.
