HAYWOOD DAVIS, left, greets Chancellor and Mrs. Malott as they return from their visit to the East
tally suggested by his teacher. Students and faculty members gathered at the east end of the platform of the Santa Fe railroad station to cheer the return of the chancellor and Mrs. Malott on a week's trip to the east. He spoke at Cincinnati, Ohio and then cancelled a speech in Buffalo, N.Y., and visited Cornell university at Ithaca, N.Y.
"As yet I have received no offer for any other job and have not accepted any," Chancellor Deane W. Malott said, at a welcome-home rally staged by approximately 150 persons Sunday.
Malott Denies Job Offer As Students Cheer Return
As the chancellor descended onto the platform the band played "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and the crowd cheered as the chancellor was ushered to a microphone where Haywood Davis, College junior made a short welcome speech.
Campus patrolmen were on hand to help keep the crowd back from the platform while the train was pulling into the station.
The crowd began to assemble at the station about 5:30 p.m. Sunday. While awaiting the arrival of the train on which the chancellor and his wife were to return to Lawrence, elements of the University band played several school songs and four cheerleaders led the crowd in a chant "Beat K-State."
"This has all the semblance of a football rally," Chancellor Malott said.
"The administration is the least important factor of a university. As long as the students, faculty and alumni remain strong you need have no fear for the University," the chancellor said.
The band played the alma mater which was followed by the "Rock Chalk" chant. The crowd then dispersed and the band marched off playing the fight song.

The Allied drive swept north with little opposition. Air reports said the Reds were making a northerly withdrawal, possibly for an end run around Wonju to the east.
Pilots said thousands were seen streaming out of flaming Suwon, 10 miles north of Osan, under a murderous air attack that cut down 1,400.
Osan, 26 miles south of Seoul, was taken without a fight. The air offensive had forced the Reds to withdraw to the hills north of town.

Red spearheads slashed through the snow-covered Sobaek mountains in central Korea up to 50 miles southeast of embattled Wonju in a mounting drive to trap the U.S. 2nd division.
