Page 2 University Daily Kansan Monday, March 31, 1952 Interpretive Articles LOOK Could Not See Wisconsin, Nebraska Primaries Will Give What All Of Us Know No Direct Test Of Ike-Taft Strength In March, Look Magazine Sport Editor Tim Cohane placed KU's Clyde Lovellette on Look's second All-American team. In view of Lovellette's record at that time, Look's move left sports writers and cage fans greatly surprised, especially since the towering center had made practically every All-American team across the country and was headed for the NCAA playoffs. The Kansas team beat K-State, Colorado, and went on to Kansas City to represent the Big Seven's entry in the NCAA playoffs with Towering Clyde leading all the way. The team downed Texas Christian and dumped St. Louis, went on to Seattle to win over Santa Clara and to smother St. John's to be the first Big Seven school to win the NCAA crown. While sweeping over these college teams, Clyde Lovellette practically rewrote the NCAA record book of individual scoring which was previously set by members of some of the best teams in the country in the last 14 years. Clyde Lovellette has twice been an All-American and this year was named to the All-American teams of the Associated Press, United Press, International News Service, Collier's Magazine; the All-Star team of the Big Seven, Kansas City Western Regional NCAA; and the CAA all-tournament team. This is the same Clyde Lovellette who made Look's second five. Now the students are requesting a formal apology, but regardless of whom Look Magazine chooses for its first team, we here at the University know we have one of the greatest basketball players who ever lived—the records prove it, even if Look isn't impressed by it. —Charles Price. POGO and his friends April 1 may be April Fool's day to some people but there'll be no fooling around in Wisconsin on that day as far as presidential hopefuls are concerned. The primary election in the Badger state will not have any major effects within the Democratic party. Sen. Estes Kefauver, who is considered an almost sure winner, will be running against two not-too-powerful "favorite sons." Both of them have announced that they will turn over their delegates to President Truman if the chief executive decides to seek re-election. The major contest, as in New Hampshire and Minnesota, will be within the GOP ranks. Sen. Robert A. Taft; Harold Stassen and Gov. Earl Warren of California are on the ballot. The Bodger states does not count write-in votes, so any possibility of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose name is not on the ballot, of making another surprise showing as he did in Minnesota is eliminated. Mr. Stassen has announced that he would split his delegate strength in Wisconsin with General Eisenhower. If Mr. Stassen were to win six delegates, he would authorize three of them to vote for the general at the Republican national convention in Chicago in July. Supporters of Senator Taft are claiming that such a move by Stassen is "an evidence of weakness." They feel that the announcement will cause some people to change their vote from Mr. Stassen to the Ohio senator. Governor Warren's backers recently made an announcement similar to Mr. Stassen's in an effort to gather in some of the "I Like Ike" voters. They said Governor Warren's delegates from Wisconsin would vote for General Eisenhower if it appears that Governor Warren cannot win the GOP nomination. Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, General Eisenhower's campaign manager, has denied that the Eisenhower forces have made any "deal" with the backers of Governor Warren. After the great landslide in the Minnesota primary—the big Eisenhower write-in vote—almost anything can happen in the Nebraska primary April 1. The Wisconsin state primary often means more than do many of the Although the Nebraska primary began as a test between Democrats Estes Kefauver and Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma, the Republicans will be in the picture because of efforts for a write-in campaign for Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio. other primaries. The state has been the scene of the making or breaking of presidential hopefuls. Wendell Willkie received a huge Wisconsin vote in 1940, which did much to carry him to the forefront of the Republican candidates. Other men have gone into the Wisconsin primary only to have their high hopes dashed. Senator Taft seems to be facing the biggest crisis. After disappointing showings in New Hampshire and Minnesota, he must carry the state or face declining support. For "Mr. Republican" this is the crossroads. Either he makes a great showing or he faces fatal defeat, which probably would shatter his support throughout the country. All of the candidates have been campaigning actively, with Governor Warren flying to the dairy state whenever "matters aren't too pressing" at the California capital. An all-out scramble looms between Stassen and Governor Warren for the votes of General Eisenhower supporters. Each claims to represent the same ideas as the European commander. A vote for Mr. Stassen or Governor Warren will be interpreted by many as a vote for General Eisenhower. This primary will be the nearest thing to actual competition between Senator Taft and General Eisenhower, the two leading Republican presidential candidates as they are not slated to meet directly in any other primaries. Either the movement for General Eisenhower will continue to roll onward or Senator Taft's strength will make itself known—Charles L. Burch. Senator Kefauver and Kerr are the only two nominees on the ballots for the Democrats. For the Republicans, Harold Stassen and Mrs. Mary Kenny, a supporter for Douglas MacArthur, are entered. The two Democrats are campaing now in Nebraska. Previously Kerr attacked the coonskin cap senator by saying he would create a super-government under which we would surrender much of our national sovereignty. As for the GOP, precise Nebraska write-in laws may prohibit a landslide vote for Taft or Ike. The voter must write the surname of the candidate and also mark an x in the square before the line indicated for the candidate's name. A further complication, the New York Times reports, is that primary voters must register both a first and second choice for the president. That could cause confusion. Although Taft or Ike's names are not entered on the ballot, the Nebraska results will help show how the two candidates stand with the people. In the New Hampshire primary, Ike caused Taft to be "disappointed" after he defeated him with a big vote. Voters then looked to the New Jersey primary April 15 for the next meeting of Taft and Ike. Last week the Ohio senator asked to be pulled out of the New Jersey primary because he claimed Gov. Alfred I. Driscoll had done him "political dirt." Even though the Wisconsin primary, also scheduled for April 1, seems to slightly overshadow the Nebraska primary in importance, the latter should provide interesting results.—Lou Fry. Short Ones A coonskin cap comes in handy for a man who's thrown his hat in the ring. Crown Prince Akihito of Japan will break a 2,600-year-old imperial tradition next week and attend a co-educational university. Just like they say—a guy can't live with them and he can't live without them. News analysts disclaim any significance in the fact that a tornado and Gen. Douglas MacArthur visited Arkansas in the same week. Redecoration of the White House includes a new bathroom for Harry S. Truman and a bath tub seven feet long. What's needed now is a fat man for president. While the First Family moves back into the White House, Mr. Truman is on vacation in Key West. Shows the old boy is still thinking. Six college students could shave before the President's wash basin without crowding. Not six from Battenfeld hall. President Truman's piano playing may indicate he doesn't plan to run again. Instead of playing the Missouri Waltz, it is said he now is playing "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone." St. Louis university basketball fans said they had the team and KU had Lovellette. We'll take Big Clyde anytime. President Truman says General Eisenhower is at liberty to return. Imagine a former artillery captain granting a furlough to a general. Women are said no longer to be touchy about the question concerning their age. Nor truthful either.
