Politics Urged For Students
Norman B. Sorter, Republican precinct committeeman in Kansas City, Kan., since 1934, urged students to become active in politics at the Political Coffee Wednesday.
"It is a good country, and by the work of students as honest people, they can keep a political organization a political organization and not a political machine," Mr. Sorter said.
He spoke on "Politics on the Precinct Level." He said that it was a precinct committeeman's responsibility to get out the entire vote.
The committeeman's pre-election work is to keep in close touch with people in his precinct, he said, and to make sure that the people that are appointed to serve on the election board are capable and honest.
On election day the committeeman must establish a rule of procedures to be followed without exception, Mr. Sorter said. He must make sure that the election is honest.

Chamberlain has said, "I sincerely hope Dr. Allen gets his wish. He has done a lot to improve my playing."
The Regents will meet Friday morning and act upon the recommendations of the board.
The ball starts bouncing at 6 p.m. today for Dr. Forrest C. (Phos) Allen, when the University athletic board meets in the Student Union to discuss its recommendations to the Board of Regents on Dr. Allen's request that he be allowed to remain as head basketball coach for another year.
Arthur C. (Dutch) Lonhore, athletic director, said the athletic board will meet this afternoon in its regular quarterly meeting. At that time the board will discuss all matters concerning University athletics.
Dr. Allen has reached the mandatory retirement age of 70, but announced at a press conference March 15 that he would ask for another year. The University rule, in effect since the mid-40's, requires all employees to be retired at 70. Dr. Allen reached that age Nov. 18, 1955.
In a statement issued to the press at the conference, Dr. Allen said that he would like to remain as coach because "it would be the thrill of my life to end a long coaching career with a truly great team." Sports experts predict that next year's team, to be built around 7-foot Wilt Chamberlain, will be one of the greatest in University history.
Campus Believes No
Campus Believes No Sentiment around the campus is that Dr. Allen will not be allowed to remain. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy has said that in his judgment "for the Board of Regents to rehire Dr. Allen they would have to rewrite their entire policy."
Most faculty members questioned seem to believe that Dr. Allen will be forced to retire. One instructor said in class that he would "lay 100 to 1 odds that Dr. Allen wouldn't be back."
Student sentiment is divided. Most basketball players are noncommittal on the subject.
Mr. Lonborg said that in all probability the board will either recommend that Dr. Allen be retained, or that he be replaced.
Members of the board are Mr. Lonborg; Dr. Murphy; Karl Klooz, bursar; Dean T. DeWitt Clooz, the School of Engineering; D. D. Halnes, associate professor of civil engineering; G. W. Smith, professor of mathematics; Frank T. Stockton, director of special projects of University Extension; E. L. Treece, professor of bacteriology; Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of students; Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology; Calvin VanderWerf, professor of chemistry; George Sheldon, Salina junior and president of the All Student Council, and Bob Conn, Wichita senior.
Alumni members of the board are Joe Bloomer, Claflin; Henry Bubb, Topeka; Tommy Constant, Lawrence; Roy Edwards, Kansas City, Kan.; Bob Kirk, Wichita, and Wilber Shaffer. Russell.
Members of the Board of Regents, who will meet tomorrow, are Lester McCoy, Garden City; Mrs. Leo Haughey, Concordia; Walter S. Fees, Iola; Oscar Stauffer, Topeka; Hubert Brighton, Topeka; McDill Boyd, Phillipsburg; Ray Evans, Fairway; L. D. Morgan, Goodland; A. W. Hershberger, and Clement Hall, Coffeyville.
