Union Coffee May Not Go Up
If coffee drinkers continue to consume the normal 100 gallons of coffee daily at the Student Union, the price per cup may not go up, B. L. Tomlinson, Food unions director, said today.
"We should raise the price, because it's already two cents a pound higher as it comes to us," Mr. Tomlinson said, "but we're going to try to hold it down."
Mr. Tomlinson explained that the daily volume of coffee sales at the Union, about 2,000 cups, must remain stable or rise if the price per cup is to remain constant.
A rise in coffee prices across the country has been brought on by the government's removal last Thursday of ceilings from the last consumer goods still under price control. The retail price per pound soon is expected to climb about 10 or 12 cents, putting the cost at $1.
Lawrence W. Witt, American University Field staff lecturer on Brazil currently speaking here, said prices are rising in Brazil because of a transition in growth cycles now in progress.
There is no shortage now, according to Price Stabilizer Joseph Freehill, but there might have been if controls were not lifted. Mr. Freehill's explanation was that trading in Brazilian green coffee had completely stopped recently, because price rises in Brazil made American buyers under ceilings slow to buy.
Kansas City Here We Come
He explained that coffee-growing land "wears out" after 30 to 40 years, and new lands require six or seven years to mature a marketable crop. The greater part of the producing lands are now "wearing out" and the new plantations aren't yet producing, Mr. Witt said.
Students today were rejoicing over the Jayhawkers' victory over Oklahoma A&M college Saturday night in the finals of the NCAA western regional. Kansas now meets the Washington Huskies at 9:45 tomorrow night in the National semi-finals in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
The Huskies won the Far Western regional by defeating Santa Clara 75-62, and are considered the favorite in the NCAA finals. The winner of the Kansas-Washington game will play the winner of the Indiana-Louisiana State game Wednesday night for the NCAA crown.
The game tomorrow night will be broadcast throughout the Union building starting at 9:45.
Debate Squad Takes First in St. John's Meet
The University debate squad won first in debate and first in over-all "sweepstakes" competition in the 21st annual St. John's college debate tournament Friday and Saturday.
The St. John's tournament and the Phi Rho Pi forensic tournament were to be held in Winfield, but were cancelled due to the death of Mrs. G. A. Kuhman, wife of the originator and director of the tournaments. No speech, description, or University volunteer to be host so the continuity and traditions of the tournament would not be broken.
First place in debate was taken by Hubert Bell and Bill Arnold, college sophomores, who defeated Hutchinson Junior college in final competition. Hutchinson won the Phi Rho Pi tournament Thursday.
In preliminary competition, Kansas teams womine five out of six debates, making all teams eligible for final elimination competition. Jane Letton, college freshman, and Lee Baird, college sophomores, won three debates for one. Michael Smith, college freshman and Letty Lemon, college sophomore, won three debates, losing two. Bell and Arnold won six debates.
Hutchinson placed second in debate and second in sweepstakes competition, and Pueblo, Junior college. Pueblo, Colo., took third.
In individual competition, second place in book review went to Miss Smith, and third place was won by Dave Miller, engineering freshman. Arnold won second place in oratory, Baird placing third. Marjorie Heard, engineering freshman, ranked third in Bible reading, and Richard Bell, college freshman, placed third in radio speaking.
Coordinators for the tournament were Kim Giffin, debate coach, Kent Shearer, assistant debate coach, and Stephenson, University Extension.
Two hundred eighty-three students from 19 schools participated in the tournament, and 36 debate teams were entered.

Navy Hits MIGs In Fall Air Action
Paris — (U.P.)— A highly authoritative disclosed today that 100 Russian MIG-15 jet fighter planes approached a United States Navy task force in the Sea of Japan last November and that Navy Panther jets shot down three of them.
It was the largest single MIG force ever spotted by American forces, the informant said.
The incident, only partly announced by the Navy at the time, occurred shortly before President Kissinger's pre-inauguration visit to Korea.
'Torment' Scheduled For Friday in Hoch
The task force was cruising in the Sea of Japan, which lies between the Asia mainland, Russia's naval base of Vladivostok, North Korea, and the Japanese island.
"Torment," a Swedish movie with English titles will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Hoch auditorium, as the ninth movie in the foreign film series.
A prize-winning film at the Cannes, France Film Festival, the movie is a psychological drama of adolescence.
Group singing and organ music will begin at 7:15 p.m. Students, staff members, and their families will be admitted free.
In the rather drab Friday night contest against Oklahoma City university, listeners were in high spirits, but never in doubt about the outcome of the game.
Saturday night was a different story as listeners were tense during the close, hard-fought game with the Oklahoma Aggies. During the first half, as KU and the Aggies traded point for point, cheers greeted every Jawhawk counter.
As the second half began and KU built up an 11 point lead, a confident air was felt by every listener. But then, as B. H. Born and Harold Patterson, the Jayhawkers' main rebounding power, fouled out early in the fourth quarter, failure and despair were written on every face.
The Aggies started catching the Jayhawkers as 6-11 Bob Mattick began scoring to cut a 56-48 lead to 57-55, and listeners wondered how long the Kansas little men could hold up.
But pandemonium broke loose as the "tiny tikes of basketball" stalled out the remaining time and won 61-55.
Victory was sweet and listeners were particularly lavish with praise for the regional NCAA champs.
80 Attend AWS Leadership Day
The girls were welcomed by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
About 80 outstanding high school senior girls attended the Leadership day, sponsored by the Associated Women Students, on the campus Saturday.
"If your appreciation of our University is beyond the material things—the conveniences of the new Student Union or the basketball team—and is concerned with the principle of human dignity which are a tradition of Kansas, then your visit will have been worthwhile," he said.
A panel discussion to acquaint the girls with campus activities was led by five women from Mortarboard. Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, discussed the scholastic and social aspects of the University in a speech, "What is College?"
"People in colleges are in too much of a hurry to get out," she told the girls. "Never before and never again will you be in an atmosphere of a society of people your own age."
The girls participated in two discussion groups led by Miss Mary Peg Hardman, assistant dean of women, and Helen Maduros, freshman dormitory counsellor.
The girls were guests at a luncheon in the Kansas room with a fashion show explaining the right and wrong dress for campus events.
