LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler
More On 'Phog'—
Kansas University basketball coach Forrest C. (Phog) Allen caused considerable speculation as to his possible future with his plea last week for "one more" year to tutor the now-legendary Wilt (the Stilt) Chamberlain and his talented cohorts.
Allen Should Bow Out Gracefully
Dr. Allen's statement set off a storm of controversy which will certainly continue undiminished until the matter is finally settled, and will probably not abate for some time.
Observers at last week end's NCAA playoffs also noted additional evidence of Dr. Allen's determination, as the genial gentleman made numerous trips around the spacious arena, shaking nearly every hand in sight.
Possibly the matter will be decided Thursday, March 29, at the regular meeting of the athletic council, the body which supervises the hiring of all members of the athletic staff. If the athletic council chooses to ignore Dr. Allen, he apparently will have no chance of being rehired. If the council does offer him a contract, the problem will be tossed squarely in the lap of the Board of Regents, which must then rule on the issue.
So, Dr. Allen's appeals have been directed principally to these two groups.
Facing mandatory retirement at the age of 70 under a long-standing University rule, Dr. Allen made it plain that he was not going to give up his life-long career without a struggle.
But what good have these appeals done? The athletic council, the Board of Regents, and almost
everyone else even remotely connected with Kansas basketball, knew of Dr. Allen's predicament, so his pleas seem to be of little value in that respect.
And furthermore, many persons who have no interest in the sport, but are more interested in higher education, will liken the case to the recent examples of John Ise and Dean Swarthout, both of whom bowed out under the same ruling last year.
Probably most of these persons could not imagine Prof. Ise asking to stay on at KU for one more year because he had a student with an IQ. of 170 coming up, or because he was going to have the best class in the history of the school.
Before making his dramatic appeal, Dr. Allen could have furthered his reputation as a sportsman a great deal by calmly accepting his fate, and gracefully complying with the wishes of the athletic council and/or the Board of Regents.
Instead of bowing out gracefully, Dr. Allen has chosen to go down fighting. If he follows this course of action, we feel he will only be blackening a wonderful reputation. Instead of being remembered as a true sportsman and gentleman, he stands in jeopardy of being remembered as a man who refused to stop playing after the game was over.
Now, he has placed himself in the position of being known and remembered as the man who did not wish to obey the regulations which had held for many great men before him.

News In Review-
Coming Elections Pace Week's Events
The proposed farm bill of the Republican administration was top news again last week as it received hot Senate debating. The Senate voted 78-11 Tuesday to amend its election-year farm bill to put a $100,000 limit on the total annual price support loans the government could make to any individual farm or farmer.
Later in the week the wheat farmers won a half-loaf victory in the Senate on agricultural price supports by a vote of 54-39. The amendment was introduced by Sen. Carlson (R-Kan.), providing 100 per cent parity in domestic grain by 1957.
The Senate also approved an additional $80 million for the school milk program and wrote it into the omnibus farm bill after one of the angriest rows of the whole farm debate.
The first national presidential primary, held in New Hampshire, aroused much national attention. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn), the only active Democratic candidate in the primary, won a decisive victory over Adlai E. Stevenson, by winning all of the state's 12 delegates.
President Eisenhower received an overwhelming vote of confidence. The most surprising element of the primary was the great volume of write-ins endorsing Vice-President Nixon as the Republican vice-presidential preference.
Nixon's status concerning the November presidential race was somewhat clarified the next day when President Eisenhower declared he would be "happy" to have Vice President Nixon as his 1956 running mate, but declined to say if Nixon was his final choice.
Primary Race
Sen. Kefauver aroused irritation in Adilai Stevenson as the two rival Democratic candidates plugged for Minnesota primary votes. The senator is centering his primary vote bid on the support given Stevenson by the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party leaders. The primary, which will be held Tuesday, is pushing the two candidates to the limit as Kefauver hopes to widen the lead he established from the New Hampshire primary and Stevenson tries to even the score.
Sen. Kefauver appeared to be picking up support later in the week for the primary, but the support of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party for Stevenson apparently is going to prevail.
Debate broke out in the Senate on the school integration issue
when Sen. Walter George (D-Ga.) read a Southern议会要求 urging resistance to the Supreme Court decision on segregation. The manifesto was drawn up by a powerful bloc of Southern senators and House members. Ninety-six Southern congressmen signed the manifesto, calling it "a clear abuse of judicial power", which "has planted hatred and suspicion where there has been heretofore friendship and understanding."
Meanwhile, the Supreme court declared unanimously that state universities could not delay the admission of Negro graduate students pending a study of problems involved. The court issued an order overturning a Florida Supreme court decision that permitted a delay in the admission of Virgil D. Hawkins to the law school of the all-white University of Florida.
Cypriot extremists demanding union of the British island colony with Greece, touched off bloody outbreaks that cost the lives of 18 British soldiers. Last week a group of Cypriot terrorists ambushed a British patrol and wounded five soldiers.
A spontaneous general strike also spread throughout Cyprus, while in Athens, Greece students shouting Cypriot slogans defied a government ban on demonstrations. The Greek government appealed to the United States to use its tremendous moral and material forces to discipline the free world to the principles of justice and freedom.
In Kansas, Gov. Fred Hall demanded the immediate resignations of Lloyd H. Ruppenthal, Republican state chairman, and Wilbur G. Leonard, executive secretary of the Republican State Central Committee. The move came after the fourth district Republican convention elected Leonard as the convention's delegate-at-large over Hall's candidate. The governor said he was shocked that Ruppenthal allowed the paid executive secretary to be nominated and elected for delegate in opposition to the Morris county candidate who was Hall's choice.
Kansas Politics
Gov. Hall's forces, in complete control of the First District Republican convention at Holton, won approval for three Hall delegates of the convention and gave a warm endorsement to the governor's administration.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, on a friendship tour of Asian countries, arrived on Formosa Friday and renewed the American pledge to support the Nationalists as the "only lawful Chinese government," Mr. Dulles and Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek also conferred on the American-Nationalist mutual defense treaty.
denounced Stalin as a blundering murderer. The report caused Georgi Malenkov, for years Stalin's secretary, to show up two hours late for an appointment on his tour of British power stations, and Jacob Malik, Soviet ambassador, to cancel a long-scheduled conference with the Japanese envoy on a proposed Soviet-Japanese peace treaty.
Former President and Mrs. Harry S. Truman announced at a press conference at Kansas City that their daughter, Margaret, was engaged to marry New York newspaper Elbert Clifton Daniel Jr. The wedding will take place in the Truman's hometown, Independence, Mo., in April.

Prime Minister Anthony Eden met with Premier Guy Mollet of France in London last week in talks aimed at straightening out misunderstandings in the Western camp over Middle East policies.
The big news on the campus was the announcement of Dr. Phog Allen, scheduled for mandatory retirement in June, that he would like to stay on another year with his team. Allen's request will be decided upon by the Board of Regents at its next meeting March 30.

Writer Launches Crusade Against 'Evils' Of Lipstick
Lipstick is really not in a man's field, but since it's for men that women seem to apply the horrible stuff, men certainly have a right to their say about it. The incident that started me on my crusade was a college Christmas assembly I attended. During the assembly a mixed choir sang and while I looked over the uniform black robes and varied hair styles something in the over-all picture seemed out of kilter.
After studying the group closely, the inconsistency became clear: It was the lipstick, the color of the lipstick. The black robes were natural looking and so were the hair styles and colors and the varied complexions and heights, but the lipstick was not natural. For this particular occasion it was even offensive. One cannot easily picture Mary Magdalene or Martha in Fax Mactor's Lightning Pink or Fatal Apple selections.
Times have changed, though, it will be said. So they have and so they should continue to change until this blight on the sense of beauty and men's wallets passes into history like the medicinal blood-sucking leech. There was a time when lipstick was used with a modicum of discretion, but that was back when the juice of cherries was used to "heighten the color of the lips."
Today, the grease pencil for sketching on beauty is held in high regard. Women will apply and remove and apply and remove their detestable "falsy lips" with the patience and perseverance of a window-peeker; but like the peeker, it's their dissatisfaction with the right amount that spells their undoing. Some women, especially the older ones, think

that to lipstick was directed the axiom. "The more the merrier."
The point is, do women look the better for it? No. Lipstick is just another money-making brainstorm some enterprising young man drummed up. Realizing women's skills and the often aftermath in a tube and the women grabbed it up like it was the fountain of youth.
The fad caught on and increased until now a woman wouldn't dare be caught with her lipstick down. Still, there are women who take lipstick for what it's worth, and they're the ones who don't take it at all.
This minority receives my full moral support. They have realized how useless, how messy, how expensive and how artificial lipstick is and how it can even detract from the other assets that nature has presented to all but the very ugliest. To mention two there are the eyes, without mascara, and the teeth, which retain their natural beauty only in natural and un-red surroundings.
Maybe the institution is too much a part of our way of life for it to change, but that's what was said about the blood-sucking leech isn't it?

Editor:
The Jayhawker advisory board has long recognized the difficulty in publishing a magazine-yearbook that records the activities of all university groups. For this reason the board welcomes the applications of unorganized students for the positions of editor and business manager. Very soon the board will call for applications to guide the 1956-57 Jayhawker.
An early move for positive action in the discussion set off by Mr. Flanagan's recent editorial would be for several competent independent students to apply for those positions.
Although the candidate who has not previously worked on the Jayhawker is handicapped, his or her case is not prejudged. Neither the present editor nor the business manager had previously been on the staff.
Karl Klooz, chairman of the advisory board, or I, would be happy to discuss with any potential candidate the responsibilities entailed
