Others Ineligible Wes Santee Says
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UP)—Wes Santee claimed today that "at least a half dozen stars being counted on for the Olympics could be ruled out" if they were called upon to testify about their expenses before the AAU.
Santee even hinted several athletes would be glad to testify before the Amateur Athletic Union to "collaborate my views and indicate most conclusively that I have not been an exception but just one of the average."
The star Kansas miler, still a hero of U.S. track fans, was permanently suspended by the AAU last month for accepting excessive money at track meets he participated in.
A record crowd of 10,200 fans at the Milwaukee games made it known Saturday night, however that they still love the Kansas Marine. They cheered him on as he won a "special race" that Olympic hopefuls boycotted so they wouldn't risk their amateur standing or Olympic eligibility.
"Athletes just can't live on $12 a day if they aren't representing a college," Santee said. "I'm not an exception." (The AAU limit for expenses is $15 a day.)

Planning A Summer Vacation? Don't Forget Kansas Sights
For a varied vacation this summer, why not take advantage of some of the sights that Kansas has to offer?
Most of the surface features of Kansas are outstanding because of the color or the shape of the rock formations. Geologists tell us that chalk formations such as those found in the rugged Red Hills country in the south central part of the state are remnants of a vertical chalk cliff that stood many millions of years ago. Examples of this may be found in the area around Gove county where formations called Monument Rock, Castle Rock, and the Sphynx parallel the New Mexico and Arizona landscape.
You don't have to go to Minnesota to find lakes, Kansas has more than 200 state, county, and city or township lakes, some of which are probably near your own home town. Most of the 20 state lakes are maintained and supervised by the Kansas Forestry, Fish, and Game Commission. Camping, picnicking, and fishing are permitted at most of the lakes, and there are numerous provisions for boating and swimming.
The Smokey Hill region in north central Kansas is similar to many regions in Utah where mesas and buttes dominate the skyline. Perhaps the trademark of this area is the

stone fenceposts, miles of which are still in use. The posts come from a type of rock which can be sawed like lumber when freshly quarried.
A less frequented landmark in the state is the geographical center of the United States located in southeastern Osborne County. Tourists are of only secondary importance there because this point is the origin for all federal mapping in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Hell's Half Acre Is Rugged
The most rugged country in Kansas is found in Hell's Half Acre not far from the Smoky Hill region. The area is erroneously named because it covers more than 10 acres. The colors of the deep canyon walls, ranging from pure white to green and red, make a lasting impression on the traveler.
Near Sun City in western Barber County a natural bridge has been formed resembling a similar formation in Virginia. The bridge, about 25 feet wide and 55 feet long, can easily be reached by automobile.
Hell's Half Acre Is Rugged
One of the unique features found in Kansas is Rock City, a group of about 200 huge sandstone spherelike formations, some of which are more than 27 feet in diameter. Geologists say they were formed by erosion of softer rock around them millions of years ago.
