Basketball Team Given Awards at Banquet
Awards and memoirs were given to the Jayhawker basketball team Friday night at a dinner honoring the team and coaching staff in the Community building.
Gold basketball, symbolic of the Big Seven championship, were given to the 11 lettermen and coaches. All 16 varsity players were given blue blankets trimmed in crimson which told of the team's accomplishments during the season.
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, director of athletics, exhibited trophies tracing the success of the Jayhawkers in the conference pre-season tournament. Big Seven conference, NCAA, and Olympic playoffs.
Lawrence townpeople presented Clyde Lovellette, gigantic all-American center, with a silver basketball trophy. Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen was given a silver tea set. Dick Harp, assistant coach was given a silver tray, and another of his sons, given a silver pitcher. Wayne Louderback, student manager, was given a gold desk pen set.
Dr. Allen was the featured speaker of the evening and accounted for 70 minutes of the $5\frac{1}{2}$ hour affair. He spoke of a wide range of subjects
"But as the city manager assumes community leadership, he must distinguish between leadership dealing with policies and city political leadership dealing with persons," he said. "The manager must not become involved in personalities."
5th Manager School Ends
The city manager must not be indifferent to public policy, Dr. Hugo Wall of the University of Wichita Saturday told municipal administrators from seven states attending the annual City Manager school at the University.
The session concluded the fifth annual school.
Jack Baur, associate professor of sociology, gave several rules of thumb on sampling public opinion. He said the first is to get the advice of a person experienced in polling the public.
"Then do a pilot test of any questions developed. There is no better way of discovering the bugs in a set of questions, in fact there is no substitute for trying the questions on a few people," he said.
The number of people to be questioned depends on what you want to learn rather than on the number of people in the city, he added. To illustrate, he said that a sample of 300 persons, assuming the proper distribution, would be correct and valid for both a city of 5,000 and a city of 125,000.
"For a simple 'yes' or 'no' question comparatively few interviews are needed, perhaps 300," he said. "But if you want to know what women think about the question as compared to men, then you'll have to double your sampling to 600. And if you further want to know what workers think as compared to proprietors, then add another 300 to the sample."
but specifically commended the players for their sportsmanship and off-court decency and gave them special praise for the courage to defeat LaSalle for the Olympic berth at the completion of a suicide post-season tournament schedule.

Stalcup and the Tiger star center
Bill Stauffer were guests at the dinner
and program.
Mr. Stalcup had read of Lovellette's plans for the future and reflected that he did not care where the big center went "as long as he doesn't come back to the Big Seven." The Tigers dropped three games to the Jayhawkers this season.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy also was on the program to introduce Dr. Allen. Athletic Director Lonborg presented the trophies and cited Lovelette, Coach Allen, and the team as being selected by the Helms Athletic foundation as the player, coach, and team of the year.
Although the work of the physical anthropologist is hard, it is seldom dull and is of immediate and practical use to mankind, Rupert Murrill, instructor of sociology, said on the Sociology on the Air broadcast Sunday.
Murrill Explains Sociology Study
Mr. Murrill described a field of study made in 1948-49 of the people of Puerto Rico in which the physical characteristics of 3,000 persons were studied.
"It is our hope that the results of this study will show the effects of the environment on the physical properties, such as teeth and height, in order to set up examples of the Puerto Rican population." he said.
Contrary to the widespread idea that physical anthropology is concerned only with digging up ancient skulls and bones, the physical anthropologist must understand the customs and culture of a group and study them in relation to their physical environment. Dr. Murrill explained.
A knowledge of primate paleontology, paleoanthropology, human biology and archaeology are neces-tions to the physical anthropologist, he said.
In Puerto Rico the study showed the population to be divided into four nutritional classes, two of which had diets below the daily food requirements, he said. The physique of the individual was correlated closely with the nutritional class of the individual, he said.
600 Volunteers Needed For Campus Blood Drive
Six hundred volunteer blood donors are needed from the student body for the Red Cross Bloodmobile visit to the campus Wednesday to Friday, May 14, 15 and 16, Woody Davis, chairman of the sponsoring committee, said today.
Registration of donors will be concentrated officially in the 3-day period, Tuesday to Thursday, May 6-8. Davis said. It is important that the quota of 600 donors be attained then in order that appointments can be coordinated with the class schedules of individuals.
The All-Student council is sponsoring the bloodmobile visit, which will be set up on the lounge of the Memorial Union for student donor convenience.
The Bloodmobile's daily schedule is 200 donors a day, each to give one pint of blood for use of the armed forces in Korea.
Davis said representatives had been appointed in all organized

houses for handling of registrations in those houses. Donors may also register at Watkins Memorial hospital. Each volunteer will receive three cards;
2. A volunteer pledge card, for giving name, address, phone number and free hours when the donation can be given.
Silver Lake, Kan. — (U.P.) — An emergency call went out today for 1,000,000 tons of fill to save a dike being washed way by the Kansas river at the rate of seven and one-half feet a day near here.
Midwest, Utah Still Fighting Raging Rivers
3. A diet instruction sheet for use on the day of the donation.
Authorities said there was no immediate danger of a break in the earth levee but work started immediately to bolster the dike.
River waters would probably spread over North Topeka if the levees broke, C. C. Shafer, Kaw drainage board member said.
The endangered area included much of that flooded by the turbulent Kansas river in July, 1951.
Shafer said it would be necessary to build jetties in the river to redirect the current to save the dike from destruction. He said the greatest danger would come when the Kansas river reaches a high level during the late spring rain season.
The rampaging Missouri river was expected to crest at about 29 feet about noon today in Boonville, Mo. The crest is expected to reach Jefferson City about noon Tuesday.
The corps of engineers said that seven additional agricultural levees failed yesterday, most of them in the Washington area.
In their latest summary, engineers said more than 600,000 acres of land was inundated from Rulo, Neb., to the mouth and about 18,000 persons have been displaced by the flood.
Flood victims upstream from Kansas City prepared to start rehabilitation operations as the Missouri river continued to fall.
Sherman .Air .Force .base, last major victim of the raging waters at Fort Leavenworth, still was under water but the river were receding rapidly and workers were starting to clear the debris.
Two major breaks in the dirt banks of an improvised canal, carrying record runoff waters along a street today brought more of Salt Lake City's industry-rich west side under water as the Utah capital city fought the worst flood in its history.
Flood water lapped over or around about 175 of Salt Lake City's 600 blocks.
In volume of water, the floods in Salt Lake City and other Utah cities were small by comparison with those in the Midwest.
Three representatives of the State and Federal Geological surveys at the University will take part in the geology session of the 84th annual meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science in the McPherson, May 1-3.
Russell Runnels, chemist, will present a paper entitled "Polyalhite in the Wellington Salt," and A. R. Leonard, geologist, will give an ill-attended talk on Theory of Recharge on Capture of Water Acquifiers. Walter H. Schoewe, associate professor of geology, will also attend.
Geologists to Attend Meeting
Remodeing of the student will force class reunions into other situations in lawrence and in townlawrence. The traditional commencement supper will be held in Robinson gym as it was prior to the construction of the Union.
Tentative Schedule Set For Commencement
A tentative schedule for commencement weekend, May 31 through June 2, has been announced by Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education and commencement chairman.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
Saturday. May 31
3 p.m.—Registration in 'the Student Union jobbv.
6:30 p.m.-Alumni dinner in North College hall.
At that temperature, he said, the men could probably stay conscious for three to four hours, and if held up by life jackets would not die for 24 hours.
Search Stopped For Missing Men
The search was called off at sunset Sunday night, 24 hours after the 1,600-ton ship plunged to the bottom after colliding with the 32,000-ton aircraft carrier Wasp during high-speed maneuvers.
A navy spokesman said the search had been abandoned on the assumption that the men could not survive in the cold water more than 24 hours. He estimated the temperature of the water at the scene of the disaster at 60 degrees.
Washington — (L.R.) The search has been abandoned for the 176 missing crewmen of the destroyer-minesweeper Hobson, which sank in the storm-churned Atlantic in the worst peacetime naval disaster of modern times, the Navy announced today.
Only 61 survivors of the Hobson's crew of 237 were picked out of the rough seas in the darkness following the collision Saturday night.
The Wasp, with a 70-foot gash in her bow, and the escorting destroyer Rodman were making their way toward New York with the 61 known survivors. The carrier is due to make port Friday or Saturday.
No casualties were reported aboard the Wasp.
The Wasp, the Hobson and the Rodman were part of a 25-ship task force enroute to Europe to relieve units of the U.S. Sixth fleet in the Mediterranean.
