University students returned to the campus today from all corners of the nation to resume classwork after the long Christmas vacation.

One student, Richard M. Stugard,
New Rochelle, N.Y., junior, was
killed in an accident near his home
Dec. 24. Donald Pat Smith, Eureka
junior, was critically injured when
his automobile overturned near Eureka.

Housing Unit Work To Start If Loan Is OK'd
University officials hope to start work this spring on a proposed 120-unit married students development if an application for a $1 million loan is approved by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency by Feb. 1.
If work can be started then, the $1,250,000 project should be ready for use in September 1957.
Plans are for 80 one-bedroom and 40 two-bedroom apartments to be built. There will be 10 buildings with 12 units in each.
A definite site has not been selected for the development. However, they will be located southwest of the campus.
The rent will be kept as low as possible. Residents will have to pay the utility bills but fixed equipment will be furnished.
"The University will not operate the new development in addition to Sunnyside, but as a replacement for the temporary housing units." Joe Wilson, director of dormitories, said. "We hope within five years to eliminate Sunnyside."
Married students at the junior, senior, and graduate levels will have priority on the units. Some graduate students now are living in the west Sunnyside apartments which will have to be torn down within the next year to make room for the School of Business building.

Chairmen will be appointed for the Mexico trip and the 1956 Freshman camp.
The area, 15 feet by 25 feet, extends east of the former art department and contains large files for drawing and construction paper and engineering supplies. A wall between the book store and a former storage room was removed so the room could be added.
The topic, "M marriage Is an Unnatural Thing," will be debated by John Eland, Topeka junior, and Mrs. Donald Carter, who will uphold the negative, and Robert Kimball and Lawrence Bee, professor of home economics and sociology, in the affirmative. Richard Wilkie instructor in speech, will be moderator.
The chairman, Col. Harry D. Henshel, New York, cabled Dr. Alen that he plans to take legal action against the veteran coach for "popping off once too often."
"Because the University enrollment has increased and the book store was crowded, the addition was made to provide the students with better service, said J. J. Newcomb, manager of the book store.

Early Member Of Secretariat
State Department Official
In the 400-word cable, sent from San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he has been vacationing, Col. Henshel said he intended to make Dr. Allen "pay dearly" for his recent attack on him and other AAU officials during the Big Seven Basketball tournament in Kansas City.
"I intend to make you pay dearly for one indiscretion too many. I have instructed counsel to give me quick action to make this an expensive lesson for you," the cablegram said.
"Ready For Them"
Dr. Allen, who is in Stillwater, Okla., where the Jayhawkers will meet Oklahoma A&M tonight, told The Daily Kansan shortly after he received the cable yesterday that "he was ready for them."
The cable, which Dr. Allen termed "voluminous, but hardly ominous," said Col. Henshel was "shocked to learn through the press of your liebels attack on me as a permanent hitehinker to Olympic games at public expense; your libelous reference to my military service as a colonel in the Brooklyn band; and your gratuitous slur on Brooklyn obviously intended to insult me and my fellow New Yorkers, including those of us who never had the honor of living in Brooklyn."
Col. Hensseld said that the attack had shown Allen as "a laughing stock to sports lovers." He said that Dr. Bran's attack may "seriously endanger raising sufficient funds to assure adequate American preparation for the next Olympic games."
Allen Smiles. Quips
When queried by The Daily Kansas as to the seriousness of Col, Hensel's charges, Dr. Allen smiled and quipped:
"If the postman stopped to kick every dog that barked the mail would never be delivered."
In his statement to The Daily Kansas. Dr. Allen said:
"Mr. Henshel has informed me that he will prefer libel charges against me. I think the whole thing will prove very interesting, and I'm ready when and if it does happen. I would be glad to entertain Mr. Henshel's action at any time. I am not too greatly disturbed by it though."
Col. Henshel defended his army record and said that during 45 years of activity for the AAU, he had "never accepted a dollar either directly or indirectly from the organization." He is an executive of a watch firm.
Served In Europe
Col. Henshel said in the cable that he had served on the administrative staff of the 21st Army group which planned the attack on the European continent.
"Normally I would simply be amused by your publicity attempt," the cable continued. "But I must take you seriously in my several capacities as chairman of the Olympic basketball committee, vice chairman of the National Amateur Athletic Union Olympic finance committee, and general chairman of the City of New York committee for the 1956 Olympic games."
Dr. Allen, who was preparing the basketball team for the trip to Stillwater, said that "the most important item on the day's agenda is to get the team ready for the trip, and certainly the cable was not as important as that task."
