KU, K-State to Get $200,000 for TV Broadcast Stations
An offer of $100,000 each to the University and Kansas State college for the development of educational television has been made by the Fund for Adult Education, an independent agency established by the Ford foundation, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and President James A. McCain announced today.
Under the television plan now being worked out by a joint committee of the University and Kansas State, half of the programs would originate at each school. Both would have transmitters, joined by a micro-wave length.
The offer provides that both in-9 institutions must add $200,000 each before Jan. 31. Chancellor Murphy said this morning that the bulk of this will be requested from the 1953 legislature, with other funds hoped for from private sources.
"One of the important provisions of the Fund for Adult Education in making grants is that proposed
"The joint television project is another example of the determination of our institutions to cooperate in assuring that the people of Kansas will have quality educational services provided efficiently," Chancellor Murphy said.
The Federal Communications commission reserved 242 ultra-high frequency channels for noncommercial educational TV when it lifted the freeze on TV stations in April. However, these must be claimed by June 3, 1953, or they will be released again, Mr. Browne said.
educational TV stations have facilities so that quality programs can be filmed and exchanged," R. Edwin Browne, director of University radio, said.
It was decided at a meeting of the TV committee Monday that the University will file immediately for channel 11, assigned to Lawrence for noncommercial educational TV, Mr. Browne, chairman, said.
Kansas State was the first school in the country to be granted this type of assignment, channel 8.
WSB Head Resigns After Coal Ruling
Washington—(U.P.)—Chairman Archibald Cox resigned from the Wage Stabilization board today in protest against President Truman's approval of a $1.90 daily wage increase for coal miners and the whole wage program came to a standstill.
Industry members of the board, hopping mad at being overruled by the President, threatened to resign en masse.
Mr. Truman touched on the revolt late yesterday when he ruled that soft coal miners could get the full $1.90-a-day increase negotiated for them by United Mine Workers Chiefain John L. Lewis. Industry and public members of the wage board had ruled in October that any increase above $1.50 would be inflationary.
Mr. Truman said he acted to avoid passing on "any major economic disturbance" to the incoming Republican administration—a clear reference to Mr. Lewis' threat of a strike if the full pay increase was not approved.
At the same time, Mr. Truman stated his "firm intention to continue a strong stabilization program" and asserted that his decision would not have "serious inflationary effects upon wages and the economy generally."
Industry members of the tripartite wage panel called an emergency meeting today to review Mr. Truman's announcement and decide whether to resign in protest.

Adlai Pledges Cooperation With Ike Rule
Washington—(U.P.)—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson pledged himself and President Truman today to cooperate with the Eisenhower administration "insofar as it is compatible with the views of our party."
He said neither he nor Mr. Truman will try to boss the Democratic members of Congress or needle them into obstructing the Republicans just to obstructing. He said the "instrument" of exercising "a constructive and wholesome influence in our public life will, of course, be the Democratic leadership in Congress."
The eight-page paper was published by the Arnold Air society. The paper features pictures, news and feature stories. Clarke Keys, journalism junior, is editor. Bob Longstaff, journalism senior, is managing editor.
The defeated Democratic presidential nominee discussed the future role of the party with newsmen at the White House where he is spending two days as the guest of Mr. Truman.
He said be regarded the party's campaign deficit, which he reported at more than $500,000, to be the No. 1 problem facing the Democratic party now.
To questions about the role of the Democratic minority in the new administration of President-elect Eisenhower, Gov. Stevenson replied that Mr. Truman and he both agreed that party concerns "must be subordinated utterly to the dispatch of public business."
Gov. Stevenson reiterated that Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell will remain in his post and said he did not expect any change.

He also repeated that he was not willing to spend in the forthcoming period money on radio and television speeches—as titular head of the party—until the campaign deficit had been erased.
Gov. Stevenson said he always believed that "good government is the best politics." A political party, he must, "subordinate pyrrhic victories and skirmishes to the long-term interests of the United States."
He said his party must recognize that it can recapture public confidence and esteem only by working to promote the national interest.
Murphy Stresses Need In Housing Meeting
The need for the active support of the student body in the University's efforts to secure better student housing was re-emphasized yesterday by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy before a meeting of the student housing committee.
Dr. Murphy stressed that the people of Kansas and their elected representatives need to be made aware of the problem which exists here. "After all, this is their University," he said.
Other points brought out were: The individual student could help greatly in this by informing persons in his own community of the need and the desire of the student body for more and better living facilities.
These advantages include living and working with other students, learning the techniques of leadership and fellowship, and gaining a better understanding of human nature through the closer contacts established through group living.
Advantages of group living which would be achieved in a dormitory could be pointed up.
Another means which the student can use to further the program is support of the Alumni and Endowment associations when their campaign opens in the spring. This campaign will be nation-wide in scope and could produce a sizable portion of the wherewithal to do some of the needed building.
Urging that more toys are needed, Treadway said, "Apparently the hazardous travel conditions last week caused many students to forget to gather their old toys while they were home."
ISA Campaign Nets 250 Toys
Students going home for a weekend before vacation are urged to bring toys with them when they return, or to send home for them. Houses receiving toys are asked to phone George Leinmiller, collection chairman, to have them picked up. A bin will also be placed at the information booth Friday where the toys may be left any time before vacation.
"Around 250 toys, games, dolls and puzzles have been given to the ISA March of Toys so far," David Treadway, college senior and chairman of the drive, reported today.
Margaret Smith, college freshman, reported that the campaign opened in Lawrence this week. "The cub scouts will aid the drive with a door-to-door canvass of the town for contributions." Miss Smith added.
Lewis Clum, Independent Student Association president, said the March of Toys will become an annual project for the ISA. "It is a very worthy effort, and should be repeated each Christmas," Clum said.
Plans for a 200-unit men's dormitory are now in the final stages of completion in the State Architect's office in Topeka, the committee was told.
Minor alternations could adapt this plan to one which could house from 100 to 290 women, it was pointed out.
They represent a board of regents request for a blueprint which would be a prototype for dormitories for all of the state's institutions of higher learning. The first of these structures will be at Kansas State Teachers college at Pittsburg.
The chancellor said that two years ago a plan, in its final stages of preparation, for a men's dormitory had to be scrapped because building costs had surpassed the amount of money available for the project during the time it took to draw up the blueprints.
Dean of Men Laurence C. Woodruff called upon the committee to produce a concrete plan for getting correct information about the situation into the hands of the students, and through them to the people of Kansas.
The committee was also asked to prepare a short, concisely worded statement on the situation for the House Ways and Means committee of the State Legislature.
