KU Punished For Violating Recruiting Rules
By BOB LYLE (Assistant Managing Editor Of The Daily Kansan)
The University has been placed on a one-year probation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association for violating recruiting and aid rules.
The probation will not, however, keep the University from participating in NCAA competition. Other schools placed on probation in the same ruling by the NCAA in New Orleans Tuesday were Texas A&M and Mississippi College. Texas A&M was the only school drawing a penalty in addition to the probation. It is prohibited from entering NCAA championship competition and invitational events which cooperate with the NCAA.
The charge against KU included two counts. It was charged that a University staff member provided transportation for a prospective player and that a friend of Kansas offered the youth aid. The incident occurred in 1954 and centered on Kent Bryan, a 6-foot 9-inch Kansas City Southeast All-State player. Bryan did not come to Kansas.
Allen Gave Bryan Ride
Allen Gave Bryan Ride
Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, retiring basketball coach at the University, said in a statement Tuesday night that he had given Bryan 10 hours of training to make test to receive a scholarship and then returned him to Kansas City. Dr. Allen said the only reason he did this was because the youth's car broke down.
"I didn't know at the time that this was an infraction of the rules." Dr. Allen said.
"I was frank to tell the infractions committee that I gave Bryan rides. I then returned him to Kansas City so he could get to work on time. I have no apologies to make."
Dr. Allen said that Bryan failed the examination and was told the only way he could attend the University was to receive aid from his parents or to work. Dr. Allen said Dick Harp, who will be KU coach next year, made arrangements to get Bryan a job at a Lawrence boarding house. He said Bryan refused the job and said he was not interested in KU anymore.
KU Aware Of Investigation
K. Aware
D. Fischer
D. Murphy said the University had been aware the past year that it was being investigated by the NCAA.
"During this investigation the University has made available to the committee on infractions of the NCAA all material and personnel requested." Dr. Murphy said.
Dr. Murphy said that the University had admitted transporting the prospective player to KU. In reference to the second charge he said that the head coach had denied it.
Fraternity Plans Ozark Trip
Bryan, who attended St. Louis University for a short time in the fall after he visited KU, is now enrolled at Wyoming University.
Alpha Phi Omega, professional service fraternity, will make a trip to Osage Beach in the Ozarks this weekend. Members will leave at 5 a.m. Saturday. Ronald Salyer, Kansas City, Kan., junior, is in charge of the trip.

He will also speak to the History Club at 7 p.m., today in the Pine Room of the Student Union on an "Intimate View of the Guatemalan Revolution, 1944-54."
On "Mike No. I." Dr. Silvert will be questioned by Nancy Wells, Kansas City, Mo. junior; Dee Richards, Hutchinson senior; Leo Flanagan, Chicago senior, and Ray Wingerson, Topeka junior.

Last Mozart Concert To Be Presented Sunday
Miss Longmire, a soprano, is a graduate of Southern Methodist University. She made her debut at the Town Hall in New York in 1953. She sings professionally in Kansas City and at various colleges and universities.

Mozart will again highlight the Fine Arts Festival when the University Chorus and Symphony Orchestra present "Grand Mass in C Minor" at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Hoch Auditorium. Clayton Krehbiel, assistant professor of music education, will conduct.

"We must stockpile trained minds in the United States if we are to compete with Soviet Russia which traditionally has had a great abundance of abstract thinkers." Dr. Charles N. Kimball, director of the Midwest Research Institute, said at the honors convocation this morning in Hoch Auditorium.
"It is possible for some of you to marry the boss' daughter to achieve success," he continued. "Some KU coeds may even marry the boss. But mature attitudes about these matters have changed appreciably in recent years.
"Psychological and motivation studies, management development programs, and many case histories have made it quite obvious that what we really need for success is an inquiring mind."
Predicts $20 Billion
He predicted that by 1975 a total of 20 billion dollars will be spent annually for scientific research.
"The research approach is really a frame of mind," Dr. Kimball said. All specific ways of undertaking and solving problems, irrespective of their natures, employ the research approach."
"Most of us are highly imaginative in childhood. Yet many people grow up to be relatively noncreative. Perhaps we have not made enough in this nation of the importance of ideas, and have substituted material things as symbols of progress."
Opportunities Outlined
Dr. Kimbala outlined opportunities in electronics and instrumentation, market research, operating research, and electronics in computation.
He said that Americans are behind the times with respect to who is making what progress in technological research.
"If we are to compete in world progress we must adopt the research approach and the inquiring mind," he said.
Three Scholarships Awarded By AWS
The AWS memorial scholarships were begun in 1948 when two University women were killed in an automobile accident, and an AWS member suggested sponsoring the scholarships.
Three $90 Associated Women Students' memorial scholarships have been awarded for the fall semester of 1956, the AWS Senate announced Tuesday.
Marilyn Elledge, Meade sophomore; Arden Weston, Kansas City, Mo. freshman; and Katherine Westgate, Lawrence sophomore, received the awards.
