K-State Council Rejects KU's Bill for Damages
Question of the day: who's going to pay for the KU goal post turn down after the KU-Kansas State college football game Nov. 7?
HAROLD PATTERSON
Apparently, it will not be K-State who will pay the bill, or at least not immediately. KU's All Student Council sent a bill for $139.89 to the K-State Student Governing association early this week, but it was rejected.

The K-State association voted to disregard the bill until the two student governments meet jointly again, presunably next year.
An unpaid bill for $110 which was sent to the KU All Student Council for damage done to the K-State goal posts in 1950 was listed as the chief reason for ignoring the present bill.
According to provisions of the Peace Pact drawn up between the two schools in 1931 and revised again in 1947, a report of a violation of the pact is to be turned over to a joint committee with members from both K-State and KU.
Earlier this year Gerald Shadwick, president of the K-State student council, interpreted the pact to mean that the student councils would be responsible for any "serious damage" which might occur.
The bill sent to K-State by the All Student Council was for pipe for a new goal post to replace the one torn down by K-State students in an after-game riot in November.
During the activities following the K-State football victory, students of the two schools turned the field into a mass free-for-all. K-Staters managed to pull down one goal post and a cross bar.
KU has not paid for damages allegedly done to the K-State goal posts in 1950, when Jayhawker students reportedly planted a smoke bomb at the south end of the field to divert attention while they tore down the north goal posts.

Minimums likely will range around 20 degrees in the southwest. A little snow, not enough to measure, fell over the northeast early today, with Topeka, Kansas City, Olathe and Lecompton reporting traces.
Geology Gets New Chairman
Appointment of Dr. Marcus Luther Thompson as professor and chairman of the department of geology at the University was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Dr. Thompson, now professor of geology at the University of Wisconsin, will join the faculty next September.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, who accepted the chairmanship two years ago only on an interim basis, will return to full time teaching and research.
Dr. Thompson, a paleontologist and stratigrapher, taught here from 1942-46. He since has been in Wisconsin, becoming a full professor in 1948.
He became assistant professor of geology at the New Mexico School of Mines in 1939 and was promoted to associate professor a year later. He came to Kansas in 1942 as assistant professor and became associate professor in 1944.
A native of Mississippi, Dr. Thompson received the B.S. degree from Mississippi State college in 1930 and for a time taught engineering mathematics there. He received the M.S. degree in 1933 and the Ph.D. degree in 1934 from the State University of Iowa.
Persons who have toys, particularly those who have exchanged "nonsense" gifts at organized houses' Christmas parties, are asked to phone either Edward Cresswell or Lawrence Taylor, engineering juniors, and their toys will be picked up.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today requested all who intend to contribute to the Toys drive, but have not done so, to contact persons connected with the driver be leaving for Christmas vacation.
"This nourishment for the minds of children, the assurance that somebody cares, is as important for their growth and comfort, as are food and clothing for their physical well-being," he said.
The chancellor said, "The March of Toys deserves your support. Toys for the child who otherwise would have none open a new and joyous chapter of life for him.
Chancellor Urges Aid to Toys Drive
3 Magazines Go On Sale Today
Three University publications—the winter editions of the Jayhawker, Trend, and Soul Owlwill go on sale today.
The Jayhawkter winter issue contains the organized houses' pages, Jerry Knudson, journalism senior and editor, said. There is a picture story on the KU-Kansas State football game. Another article is the first installment of "The Joining Jayhawkter," a section for clubs, organizations, and activities.
Trend, a magazine published by the Quill club, includes prize winning stories and poems from the recent writing contest held by the club.
"Drought Year," first-place winner in prose by Dorothy Shade, education senior, is featured in the magazine, "Rain Music" by Sharon Theis, college freshman, won first place in poetry.
The Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, will include jokes, cartoons, and satire, according to Tom Stewart, journalism senior and editor.
Basketball Starts In Hoch Tonight
The Jayhawkers take the court tonight in the first home basketball game of the season with a long tradition to uphold—they have not lost a game in Hoch auditorium since late in the 1950-51 season, and have compiled a string of 21 consecutive triumphs.
And another "tradition," quite a bit more widely known over the country, is the Forrest C. "Phog" Allen skien, most impressive ever compiled among court coaches in the nation, present or past.
The Dean of American coaches, now 68 years old, has amassed a stupendous winning record at Mount Oread of 550 victories and only 197 losses. This season marks his 37th at KU.
He has guided the Jayhawks to 23 championships in three conferences, and never has finished last. Two years ago he coached the Big Seven, NCAA, and Olympic Games title winning team, and last year, with three of the same men starting who are in the starting lineup this year, came in second in the U.S.
However, the home court winning string is in great danger of being snapped at the hands of the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa. The Kansas high scorer, center B. H. Born, who stands 6-9, may not get to play because of an ankle injury he suffered Monday in practice. He has averaged 27.5 points in the two games played thus far.
Just what will happen of course must remain guess work until about 9 p.m. today. But you can bet, Hoch will be stuffed beyond its normal "capacity"-persons just don't count out. Allen's boys; they know the glittering KU record.

STEEL SLIDE—An impromptu shift in a 25,000 pound load of girders for the KU fieldhouse created a minor degree of havoc at the unloading site_yesterday. Within an hour all was righted and the sole casualty appeared to be an accordion-pleated left truck door.

McCarthy Cites Contempt Cases
New York — (U.P.)— Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy said today he would recommend contempt of Congress citations for three more witnesses in his investigation of alleged radar espionage in the Army Signal corps.
The Wisconsin senator said he would recommend the citations to the full Senate permanent investigations subcommittee after he had questioned the witnesses this morning at the federal court house.
The witnesses were Mrs. Eleanor Glassman Hutner, a former public school social worker; Ernest Pataki, instructor in engineering at Cooper Union, and Diana Moldover Wolman, a teacher at the Thomas Jefferson high school.
Sen. McCarthy charged the three had misused the privilege of the Fifth amendment in refusing to answer questions about espionage activities or their knowledge of espionage activities by others.
If recommended by the full committee, the application for the citations would be presented to Congress when it convenes next month.
Sen. McCarthy also questioned Mrs. Wolman's husband, Benjamin Wolman, an assistant principal at P.S. 3. Brooklyn.
Mr. Wolman testified he has never been a Communist or attended Communist meetings, the questions his wife refused to answer. However, he said he had not made up his mind about whether Communism was good or bad.
