Deanships Approved For Smith, Anderson
CR
The appointment of Dr. George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education the past 11 years, to the post of dean of the University was approved by the Board of Regents Saturday.
Dr. Kenneth E. Anderson, director of the Bureau of Educational Research and Service, was advanced to dean of the School of Education.
"Dean Smith will assume the duties which in other institutions are related to the office of academic vice president," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy explained. "He will have overall responsibility in the planning, organization and implementation of basic University policy."
KENNETH E. ANDERSON
Dean Smith will continue as director of the summer session. He also will remain a member of the KU budget committee, to which he was appointed two years ago.
The position of dean of the University was first filled in 1946 by Dr. Ellis B. Stouffer, long-time dean of the KU Graduate School. He retired from administrative work in 1950 and was not replaced. However, the continued growth of the University emphasized the need for a top-level coordinator and planner for the development of KU's educational functions.
GEORGE B. SMITH
Dean Smith, 45, and Dr. Anderson, 42, are natives of Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. Smith earned B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of Minnesota in 1929 and 1930, respectively.
The filling of the University deanship will in no way limit access to the chancellor on matters of University business, Dr. Murphy explained. Raymond Nichols will continue as executive secretary of the University, with major responsibility in the area of budget, fiscal and administrative policy, he added.
Dr. Anderson earned the B.S degree from the University of Minnesota in 1932, the M.A. degree in 1934 and the Ph.D. degree in 1949. He joined the KU faculty in 1948 as assistant professor, coming from the principalship of the Teachers College High school at Cedar Falls, Ia.
As director of the Bureau of Educational Research and Service and coeditor of the KU Bulletin of Education, Dr. Anderson has become well acquainted with Kansas schools and their needs. He has participated in a half dozen research studies of the school and post-school activities of the graduates of more than 50 Kansas high schools.
He received the Ph.D. degree from Columbia university in 1935 and taught education at the University of Buffalo and the University of Iowa before coming to KU in 1941 to succeed the late Dean Raymond A. Schwegler as dean of the School of Education.

Kansas Fans 'Whoop It Up' at K-State
More than 1,000 KU students and alumni travelled to Manhattan Saturday to watch the Jayhawkers break loose from a 6-6 tie to whip Kansas State 26-6.
sas State 20-6.
About 500 fans left Lawrence on a 10-car special train Saturday morning. At Manhattan the group, led by the KU band, paraded downtown. The paraders were augmented by a visiting Jayhawker aggregation who met the train.
Jayhawker fans were downcast at halftime with the score tied 6-6, but were relieved in the third period when Gil Reich threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third tally to put the game on ice.
Although K-State lost, they retained the goal posts. About five minutes before the end of the game, around 100 Wildcat students gathered in front of each goal post and discouraged possible KU plans.
KU band music must have pleased two small dogs who followed the band as it performed during halftime. They were especially attracted to, the drummer, and they jumped at him constantly during the performance.
aggregation who hit the parade was climaxed by an enthusiastic rally in front of the Wareham hotel. KU cheerleaders led yells which thundered through the downtown. The rally ended with the singing of the Alma Mater.
The KU delegation was among the 16,500 who saw the game in cloudless, 75 degree weather.
Big Vote Predicted As Campaign Ends
Washington—(U.P.)The angry 1952 presidential campaign ends today and the polls open tomorrow for an expected record vote of about 55 million.
The outcome is unpredictable.
Republican candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower consistently has led the straw polling. Democratic candidate Adlai E. Stevenson steadily has been gaining on him.
The weary electorate and even wearier candidates will go through one final orgy of campaign oratory tonight. Eisenhower speaks at a rally in Boston which will be broadcast to the nation at 9 p.m. (CST) over the combined NBC and ABC radio and television networks.
At 9:30 p.m., (CST). Gov. Stevenson and his vice presidential partner, Sen. John J. Sparkman, take over the airwaves speaking from Chicago over all major radio and TV nets. The Republicans come back again at 10 p.m., featuring Gen. Eisenhower and his running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, on an hour-long program that also will be carried on all networks.
So close is this election deemed to be and so complex the political forces involved, that political experts believe Gen. Eisenhower might win the White House and the Democrats still hold the Senate and, possibly, the House.
There was general agreement that:
1. The vote will greatly exceed the record to date, 49,815,000 in the 1940 Roosevelt-Willkie contest.
2. The popular vote is likely to be close.
3. Republicans have their best chance since 1928 to crack the solid South.
All 435 seats in the House are up this year and in the Senate. There are 30 governors to be elected, and thousands of men and women to lesser offices.
There are 531 electoral votes at stake in the presidential race. Necessary to elect: a minimum of 266.
Republicans last cracked the South in 1928 when Herbert Hoover carried Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Florida against Democrat Alfred E. Smith, a Catholic. Religion touched with prohibition was the dividing issue.
Barring such a break-through, the Republicans to win must regain the farm support which drifted from them in 1932 and never came back in full strength. Farm vote loyalty outside the South caused the unexpected Republican defeat four years ago.
1 Killed,2 Injured At Ohio Prison
Columbus, O. —(U.P.) A prisoner was shot to death and two others wounded today as they tried to escape from Ohio State penitentiary here where 1,900 prisoners stormed in protest at the riot-torn institution.
The warden said that highway patrolmen and national guardsmen were being issued "heavier equipment" as they prepared to move against the prisoners.
Warden Ralph W. Alvis said that Carlyle Noel, 30, from Hamilton county (Cincinnati) was shot through the head. He died a few minutes later. He was serving a two to 10-year term for housebreaking. Warden Alvis said that three other prisoners were shot, but none was wounded seriously. The shootings today brought to five the number shot since the prisoners staged their $1 million Halloween night riot.
The prisoners fired six buildings and caused about $1 million in damage Friday night. All but about 200 were quieted early Saturday morning. The 200 convicts were later brought under control with tear gas. Again Sunday the prisoners became unruly, this time about 1,900 of them being involved.
