Student Court Hears 9 Cases Reverses Four
Even baby sitting is no excuse for overparking, it was decided in a case before the Student court Tuesday evening. James D. Waugh, third year law student, charged with overparking on Jayhawk drive, defended himself by saying that he had to take care of his two-year-old son and could not carry him up the bill. The fine was affirmed.
In the other cases, the fine for William Busby, graduate student, was affirmed. He was charged with parking against traffic in zone Q.
The fine of Oliver Johnson, business junior, charged with overparking on Jayhawk drive, was also affirmed.
The court reversed the fine of James Ashley, engineering sophomore. He was charged with parking on the grass in zone E.
The fine of Wayne Bentley, business junior, was reversed. He had received a ticket for overparking on Jayhawk drive at a time when he had a broken foot.
In the case of James O. Smith, first year law student, the court decided it did not have jurisdiction because Smith failed to show that he had appealed his tickets within 10 days.
The case of Jacob Roseman, graduate student, was dismissed because of lack of information.
The fine of Charles R. Coover, first year law student, was reversed on the merits of the case.
Richard A. Hunter, had one fine reversed and one affirmed. In the first instance, he was fined for overparking when forced to leave his car on Jayhawk drive while participating in a varsity swimming meet.

This speech will be an alternate in the regular lecture series. Dr. Kenneth S. Pitzer, research director for the atomic energy commission, will be unable to deliver his lecture according to the original schedule because he has been called to Washington, D.C.
The chief application to be discussed by Dr. Maloney will be power development as in aircraft, ships, stationary power plants, and guided missiles. He will explain radioactive tracers in engineering research such as corrosion, bearing wear, fluid flow and diffusion.
Dr. Maloney was recently associated with the "Manhattan District" code name for the atomic bomb project, through being a staff member of the metallurgical laboratory of the University of Chicago.
He came to the University to head the department of chemical engineering and research foundation. As a research chemist, he was formerly in the engineering and explosives department of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and company.
AFL Alleges Local Cannery Is Discriminatory
Charging discriminatory and unfair labor practices and coercion and intimidation of union employees, the American Federation of Labor started proceedings Tuesday against Stokley Foods, Inc., in the Douglas county district court rooms.
National Labor Relations board commissioner Robert Mullin. Washington, D.C., is presiding as trial examiner.
In charging unfair labor practices, the A.F. of L. claims that six workers in the local Stokely cannery were discharged for union activities. Charles J. Hill, regional director of the A.F. of L., said that the company will be asked to reinstate the employees, pay back wages and notify all other employees that participant even any great slackening of work on peacetime power applications of atomic energy.
Barton Sacks, Kansas City, is general counsel for the N.L.R.B. and Frederick W. Anderson, Indianapolis, counsel for the defense.
According to C. L. Eldridge, Stokely personnel director from Indianapolis who is here for the hearing, the plant was closed for three weeks due to a surplus of inventory. When it was opened again, he asked that all workers be classified and screened, and the six not taken back were dismissed for lack of efficiency.
Five University women received the "degree of the pine" at a meeting of Kappa Phi, Methodist sorority, March 24.
The first day of hearing was spent in hearing testimony of the former employees.

Atomic Program Being Changed
He also disclosed in an address at Mount Holyoke college that the timetable has been advanced for construction of the first atomic engine for submarines and other warships.
South Hadley, Mass., March 29 (U.P.) Summer T. Pike has disclosed that the whole atomic program is being reshuffled "to bring the utmost weight to bear" on development of the hydrogen bomb.
Western Electric corporation is under contract to build an atomic power plant for naval craft. The company began construction some time in 1951.
The acting atomic energy commission chairman said the A.E.C.'s intention is to produce "a greater number of more effective weapons than any possible rival."
Pike revealed that design is so far advanced that construction of the engine may start at the Arco, Idaho, reactor station "before this year is out."
Pike asserted, however, that the

'Phog' Allen Named Coach Of The Year
By BOB LEONARD
The National Basketball Coaches association has picked Dr. F. C Allen of K.U. as basketball's outstanding man of the year. The choice was made Tuesday in New York City.
Dr. Allen was selected from a group of four candidates which included such famous cage names as Herb Read of Western Michigan, Dutch Lonborg of Northwestern, and George Edwards, former University of Missouri coach and head of the National Rules committee.
During his 33 years at the University, Dr. Allen's teams have won or shared in 21 championships. His efforts toward such innovations as rotation of the center jump, fan-shaped backboards, and the 12-foot basket are nationally famous. One of his major accomplishments was an almost single-handed effort in landing basketball its first show in the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin.
Several of his former cagers are now highly regarded basketball coaches in college ranks. Most prominent among these are Adolph Rupp of the University of Kentucky; Forrest Cox of Colorado Dutch Loanborg, retiring coach of Northwestern University; John Bunn, of Springfield, Mass., college; and KU's assistant coach, Dick Harp, Coach Harp joined Dr. Allen at the University after two successful seasons at William Jewell college.
March 16. 1949. Dr. Allen was
named to the Helms Foundation College Basketball Hall of Fame. His 1922 and 1923 teams were rated national champions by Helms when
F. C. "PHOG" ALLEN
Besides writing articles for such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Country Gentleman, Southern Coach and Athlete, and others, he has published three books: "My Basketball Bible," "Better Basketball," and "Phog Allen's Sport Stories." In his playing days, Dr. Allen was manager of the famous Kansas City Athletic club basketball team which upset the world champion Buffalo Germans in the best two out of three game series in 1905.
Forrest C. Allen was born at Jamesport, Mo., Nov. 18, 1885. He was educated at Independence, Mo., High school and at the University of Kansas where he earned letters in basketball and baseball.
K. U. swept through the Missouri Valley championships by winning 33 of 36 games. During his coaching stay at Kansas, Allen-coached teams have won 486 games while losing only 178 contests for the best long-time record in the country.
He coached the University basketball teams in 1908 and 1909, winning the Missouri Valley championship both years. From 1912 to 1919 he was athletic director and coach of all at central Missouri State Teachers college, Warensburg. In 1919 he returned to K.U. as director of athletics and head basketball coach.
As a young man, Forrest Allen was a baseball umpire. In those days a baseball umpire would bawl out the word B-A-L-L just as he now cries out the word S-T-R-I-K-E. This umpire executed the word B-A-L-L in a voice reminiscent of a foghorn, and thus became known to his hecklers as "Foghorn." His friends abbreviated it to "Fog" and a sports editor, exercising his pre-aggressive, changed it to "Phog."
He became professor of physical education in 1937. In 1923, 1936, and 1943 his teams were undefeated in conference play. Dr. Allen was the founder of the Kansas Relays and the National Association of Basketball Coaches of the United States. He was president of the latter organization in 1928 and 1929. He has served as vice-president of the National Collegiate Basketball Rules committee of the United States and Canada and chairman of its research committee for 13 years.
A lot of basketball have gone through the hoop since "Phog" Allen acquired his nickname, but the dean of American basketball coaches still sits and squirms on the K.U. bench. Quarts of water are consumed by Dr. Allen at every game.
His influence has been felt wherever descendants of Dr. Naismith's peach baskets hang. Here's wishing the good doctor the best of everything and in the years to come, all-victorious Jayhawker teams.
