South Koreans Batter Back 3 Red Assaults
Friday, Oct. 17, 1952
Seoul, Korea — (U.P.) — Chinese Communists hurled three assaults at South Korean infantrymen on Sniper hill late today, steadily strengthening their ranks as they closed in for fierce hand-to-hand fighting with the gallant defenders.
The fight for Sniper ridge already has cost the Communists 460 soldiers counted killed, 399 estimated killed and 716 wounded.

Finally, the Chinese commander increased the attacking force to a battalion of about 800 men, and the Communists closed in on the hard-fighting South Koreans.
Moving out from "Pinpoint Knob," the Reds' last totool on the strategic height north of Kumhwa, the enemy hit at 4:45 p.m. (1:45 a.m. CST) in company strength—about 160 men—but were driven off.
The first attack at 4:45 p.m. was unusual. The Reds ordinarily prefer to wait until darkness before hitting UN positions.
Two more companies returned to the attack at 6:40 p.m. (3:40 a.m. CST) and they also were battered back.
At nearby Triangle hill, American infantrymen of the 7th division strengthened their positions after a day of sporadic firing and awaited a third night of Red counter-attacks. The GI's repelled five attacks by 1,500 Communists last night and early today.
South Korean troops on White mountain northwest of Chorwon waited tensely through an "omnious" silence on the part of the Chinese. They received no enemy mortar or artillery since early afternoon.
U.S. Hits Russia For B-29 Attack
Washington—(U.P.) —The United States demanded today that Russia pay indemnity for the B-29 its planes shot down Oct. 7 and bluntly told the Kremlin that "grave consequences" may follow any future repetition of such "unprovoked" attacks.
The State department said destruction of the American plane off northern Japan was "wanton" and "unjustified." It added that there is no truth in a Moscow charge that the B-29 violated Russian territory and fired on Soviet fighters. The big plane's guns, the note said, were "inoperative."
EXTRA SEATS FOR FULL HOUSE—Memorial stadium's seating capacity will be increased by 2,000 with the erection of these bleachers in the south end zone for tomorrow's Kansas-Oklahoma football game. The additional seats and standing room tickets which will go on sale from the stadium at kickoff time may boost the attendance over 40,000. The bleacher seats have been sold out for a week—Kansan staff photo.
Murphy Explains KU Dormitory Plan
Three hundred and fifty new dormitory units may be under construction by the end of the academic year, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said in a letter to the Daily Kansan explaining the University's dormitory program. $ \textcircled{*} $
Breaking down the dormitory figures, the chancellor said that architects are working on plans for housing 200 men students, an additional scholarship hall housing 50 women, and plans for a 100-women unit addition to North College and Corbin halls.
Chancellor Murphy said it was clear to the planning council and to him that within a ten-year period we must have a minimum of 2,000 more housing units for men and women on the campus.
The chancellor pointed out that law permits the University to build dormitories by the issuance of revenue bonds. He said that through a combination of the bonding principle, legislative appropriations, and private gifts to the University, the goal can be achieved.
Construction costs of adequate dormitory housing involves approximately $4,500 a student. Thus the 2,000 units would be $9 million.
Miners' Strike Sweeps Through 8 More States
The University and the Board of Regents, he said, are entirely oog-
nizant of the pressing need for dormitory housing and are engaged in the planning, development, and building of these needed units.
More than 113,000 joined in the walkouts. The size of the walkout came as a surprise. The bulk of the union's 375,000 bituminous workers were expected to continue work until Oct. 25 when most will receive their pay checks.
Pittsburgh—(U.P.)-Wildcat walkouts swept through the soft coal fields of eight states today as angry United Mine workers protested the Wage Stabilization board's delay in action on the $1.90-a-day wage increase the union negotiated with the industry.
The so-called ten-year building program for the University must be considered only a general outline of its implementation, of course, depends on biennial appropriations from the Kansas Legislature, and more particularly from the so-called educational building fund that provides a 3-4 mill levy on property in Kansas.
The text of Chancellor Murphy's letter reads:
Dear Sir:
Because of recent misunderstandings about the University's dormitory program, I am constrained to make the following comments.
However, a small strike by miners who received earlier pays quickly snowballed today. In West Virginia alone 60,000 miners refused to work.
The University planning council has for the past year assessed our physical plant needs and has provided me with its recommendations. These recommendations were outlined before the annual meeting, and we were the basis of what has come to be known as the ten-year building program.
The Wage Stabilization board met briefly, but again put off a ruling on the new soft coal industry contracts as the miners walked out in protest against the delay.
The tripartite board finally met in executive session nearly six hours after a meeting was scheduled. But after a short meeting, it recessed until tomorrow morning.
Reliable sources said board Chairman Archibald Cox called the meeting—not to act on the $1.90-a-day wage boost won by the miners—but to discuss a letter from Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam.
One of the most constant preoccupations of the planning council as well as the university faculty is to quite student housing and to say that our ten-year program does not include a consideration of this important problem is to be completely unaware of the
It has been clear to the planning coun-

With bubbling enthusiasm, Kansas university prepares for the biggest game of the season against the Oklahoma Sooners tomorrow in Memorial stadium.
In Memorial Stadium
The Jayhawker team—calm and ready—will leave for Topeka to avoid pre-game excitement at 4:15 p.m. today amid a big sendoff rally.
The rally-planned for the Jayhawkers as they board the bus at the stadium-will feature short speeches by team co-captains Charlie Hoag and Oliver Spencer.
Pre-game activities will shift into high gear at 7:30 p.m. with the student parade, featuring floats built by students and organizations.
The University band and pep clubs will lead the parade from the Union down Oread st. to 12 st., down 12th to Louisiana st., east on Louisiana to 11th st., down the hill to Tennessee st., on Tennessee to 9th st., east on 9th to Massachusetts st. and south on Massachusetts to South park.
The four pep clubs-Jay Janes, KuKu's, Red Peppers, and Froshawks-will follow the band. They will be carrying placards urging the Kansas team to victory. The floats and students will follow.
Campus and city police and the highway patrol will escort the revelers.
To climax the parade, $ \alpha $ bonfire rally will be held on the South park baseball diamond. Fuel for the bonfire is being furnished by downtown businessmen and was gathered by members of the KuKu club, men's pep organization, this afternoon.
Featured speaker at the bonfire rally will be A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, director of athletics. Also on the roster of speakers are Cliff Kimsey, KU backfield coach; Assistant Coach Don Fambrough and Otto Schnellbacher, co-captains of the 1947 Orange Bowl team; and Morris Kay and Bud Laughlin, former Jayhawker regulars.
The final item on the pep agenda is a rally of pep clubs, cheerleaders and students at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at 6th and Illinois sts. to meet the team as it returns from Topeka. After a short rally students will escort the team to the stadium.
The game is considered the most important Big Seven contest this season.
Tickets for the encounter have been sold out nearly a month. Bleachers have been erected at the south end of the stadium to seat 2,000 more persons. Latest indications are that the total attendance will top 40,000 and about a million more persons will see the game on television.
WDAF-TV will televise the game for the Greater Kansas City area. Television rights were given the University last week by the National Collegiate Athletic association.
Kansas currently is ranked sixth in the United Press football poll; Oklahoma is fifth. In the Associated Press poll, Kansas is rated eighth and Oklahoma sixth in the nation. This is the highest recognition ever accorded a Kansas team.
The game also will be broadcast coast to coast by the American Broadcasting system and over 29 stations throughout Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.
Kickoff will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow, and by 5 p.m., the 1952 Big Seven conference race could be settled. Close to 1.500,000 fans will have watched and cheered the settlement.
KU-K-State Peace Pact Unanimously Renewed
The combined student councils of the University and Kansas State college last night unanimously renewed the 1949 peace pact between the two schools in a dinner meeting at the Union cafeteria.
John Schovee, president of the K-State student body, stressed the importance of keeping this pact as a means of avoiding unfavorable publicity for the schools.
While the rivalry between KU and K-State has seldom been marked by any real violence, time was when the captured marauder had his head neatly and completely shorn.
The two schools took action to prevent the development of unfriendliness in 1929 when a "gentlemen's agreement" was adopted to keep rivalry on the level of sports-manship.
Some newer provisions in the
The problem remained unsolved. Sidewalks still were painted; buildings still were besmirched, and statues took their annual shellacking.
The two student councils then adopted a peace pact intended to control the exuberance of the more spirited students.
pact, such as the 1949 stipulation that the whole student body shall be responsible for any violations, have made it strong enough to stop, or at least slow down, the traditional vandalisms.
Band to Perform Military Field Drill
The University band will present a military field drill, similar to that given by the Navy cadets at the TCU game, at the halftime of the Oklahoma game Saturday.
The band will give separate drills in coordination with music. As a salute to the Oklahoma team, the band will form a large OU at the north end of the field just before it marches off the field playing "Boomer Sooner," an Oklahoma fight song.
