Housing Report Receives Favorable Regent Hearing
The All Student Council Housing committee received a favorable hearing before the board of regents at Topeka yesterday, Dean Glasco, committee chairman, said today.
Lester McCoy, chairman of the board of regents, said the committee presented a good report.
The committee report pointed out that the present housing problem exists because increasing enrollment forces more and more students into already over-crowded houses and forces some into substandard houses.
Solution to the housing problem is University housing, the report stated.
The five-page report was divided into two divisions, situation and necessity of group housing.
Glasco said the board of regents is definitely in favor of group living over private housing.
The committee's next step will be to get in touch with the chairman of the Ways and Means committee, Wilfrid H. Cavaness, Glasco said.
ASC President Bill Wilson, who went with the committee, said he would like to have the Ways and Means committee come here to see the housing needs first hand.
Janie Snyder, a member of the housing committee, did not attend the hearing because of illness.
Following is a summary of the ASC_bousing committee report:
The report first stresses that new University housing could alleviate crowded housing conditions. It presents statistics on the number of men and women living in inadequate housing and gives detailed descriptions of the poor conditions prevailing in University dormitories and in private homes.
The committee compiled figures to show that persons living in organized houses participate in more activities than those living in private homes.
Second part of the report stresses value and satisfaction derived from group living. The report said persons who live alone draw more and more into themselves. Professor of Sociology Carroll D. Clark pointed out in the report that statistics indicate causes of many cases of nervous instability and suicide are fostered by living alone in poor housing.

Ike Approves Roberts As GOP Party Head
New York—(U.P.)—President-elect Eisenhower today approved the Republican National committee's choice of C. Wesley Roberts of Kansas as its chairman to succeed Arthur Summerfield, who is to become Postmaster General in the new administration.
Harry Darby, national committee man from Kansas, announced the selection of Roberts after he and a subcommittee of the national organization had conferred with the President-elect at his Commodore hotel headquarters this morning. Darby said Mr. Eisenhower "seemed very happy about it" when informed of the committee's selection.
Kirt Walling, college senior, and Jack Rein, business junior, recently were chosen producer-director and business manager respectively of the 1953 College Daze production.
Managers Chosen For College Daze
The show, which will be presented April 24 and 25 in Hoch auditorium, is sponsored annually by Student Union Activities. This year a new policy will be followed whereby student writers will write a show around campus talent.
Darby said Summerfield appointed the subcommittee recently to discuss a successor when he retired as chairman. Other members of the national committee are G. Mason Owlett, of Pennsylvania, C. C. Spade, Florida, Mrs. Wesley Dixon, Illinois, and Mrs. Neal Tourtello, Washington.
Darby said the executive committee will meet tonight in Washington and will discuss the possibility of making the chairmanship post a salaried one.
Walling announced that any student wishing to try out for College Daze should apply at SUA office.
Roberts, a former newspaperman, lives in Oskaloosa, near Topeka. He has been a director of organization for the national committee. A former state chairman of the party in Kansas, he was active in Mr. Eisenhower's behalf prior to his nomination.
Three teams of the University debate squad will debate today and Saturday in a tournament being held at Kansas State Teachers college at Pittsburg.
Debate Team At Pittsburg
In the junior division will be the teams of Margaret Smith, college freshman, and Letty Lemon, college sophomore, and Edith Sorter, college freshman, and Marjorie Heard, engineering freshman.
The team of William Arnold and Hubert Bell, college sophomores, will take part in the senior division.
K-State Threatens Home Win Streak
The Kansas Jayhawkers meet the Kansas State Wildcats tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium in their traditional bitterly fought game. National and conference prestige as well as a 15-game home winning streak for the Jayhawkers will be at stake.
Kansas State, the nation's No. 1 team, is decidedly the favorite and the Kansas home winning streak will get its most rugged test.
With height, experience, and an explosive scoring punch, the Wildcats will put the famed Kansas defense to the test.
However, last year's Jayhawkers were not an off-and-on club like this year's team. The Jayhawker defense is still there, but it lacks that consistent scoring punch which a consistent winner must have.
Kansas State, on the other hand,
doesn't worry too much about holding down its opponents. A 72-points-a-game defensive average shows this. Its 82-points-a-game offensive average indicates why it doesn't worry much and the roster indicates why it has an 82 points average.
Student Accepts Milk For German People
The Wildcats are loaded with big men. Dick Knostman, Kansas State's chief scoring threat and a potential all-American, heads the list at 6 feet. 6 inches. He isn't the tallest, but he's the best and he has always been especially effective against Kansas.
Kansas' lone big man, B. H. Born,
is alternately hot and cold. Born's
best night was against Nebraska
when he made 34 points. If he fouls
out early as he did against K-State
in Kansas City, Kansas will need to
play over its head to win.
The Big Seven Christmas tournament in Kansas City city proved that Kansas State scores pretty much as it please. Against the Jayhawkers in the finals, it ran up 93 points. Whether or not playing on a foreign court will slow the Wildcats down remains to be seen.
Last year after losing the Christmas tournament to Kansas, 90-88, in the semi-finals, the K-Staters bounced back to drub Kansas by 17 points at Manhattan. It was a different story, however, when the Wildcats visited here. Kansas repaid the compliment by trumping the Wildcats by 17 points, 78-61.
A train-car load of powdered milk destined for Germany will be accepted on behalf of the German people by Walter Schlotfeldt, graduate student from Niebuell Schleswig, Germany, in a ceremony at Valley Falls this afternoon.
The contributions for the milk were gathered partly through the Campus chest at the University and the Christian Rural Overseas Program of Douglas county. The Douglas county CROP organization purchased half of the milk in the shipment.
