Touhey Proud Of New Badge
When the new silver badge arrived Thursday, John Touhey, business senior, said to friends: "It's constable Touhey, if you please."
Touhey, 26, originally from Brunswick, Ga., was elected as constable of West Wakurusa township in the November election by a total of eight write-in ballots. When John got the badge, a friend asked, "What type of law and order do you intend to maintain?"
John jokingly replied. "I intend to bring law and order to that wild West Hills area."
John, who entered the University in 1942, served for three years in the army. His activities in the University include: Pachacamac, inner circle, scholarship chairman of the Inter-Fraternity council, and rush chairman and alumni contact officer for Sigma Nu fraternity.
Friends said that Touhey, a five foot six inch, dark-haired man with a decided Southern drawl, looks exactly like a typical Dodge City sheriff who used to enter a saloon and declare in slow, precise tone: "Look here, boys, things are gonna be straightened up around here!"
Medical School Will Not Move Says Murphy
There are no plans to move the entire University School of Medicine to the Medical Center in Kansas City, Dr. Franklin D. Murphy, dear of the medical school, said this morning.
"The large expansion program soon to start carries no authorization for a change in the present teaching setup," he added. "The sole purpose of the expansion program is to enable us to train 30 per cent more doctors each year and to provide for an even greater increase in the number of nurses and technicians trained."
Dean Murphy said he was misquoted in newspaper stories which reported him as saying that the entire sophomore year of medical school would be taken at Kansas City when the building program now underway is completed this summer. The freshman year in medicine and the first semester of the second year are now taken here. The same report said that when the recently authorized $4,300,000 building program is completed that the entire four years would be given in Kansas City.
"The building now nearing completion will not permit us to change the teaching arrangement one bit."
Chancellor Deane W. Malott indicated that upon completion of the basic science building, which is in the new building program, it might be possible to give the entire sophomore year, instead of a half of it, at the Medical Center.
He said it probably would not involve moving faculty members from Lawrence to Kansas City.
"Problems of Municipal Personnel Administration" will be the title of a speech given by Harold C. McClintock, city manager of Hutchinson, at a graduate seminar of apprentice city managers, Tuesday March 1.
City Manager Will Speak
Cagers To Petition Malott To Play In Robinson Gym
James Drury, assistant professor of political science, said, "Mr. McClintock has been invited to speak so that the practical aspects may be presented to the students." The graduate seminar class consists of students who will intern as apprentices under city managers next year.
coach, said today:
A problem which confronts the team and its coaches is the availability of the auditorium. Concertes lectures, tests, organ, band, and orchestra practices are held in the building and conflict with team practice periods.
The varsity basketball team will present a petition to Chancellor Deane W. Malott today to play the remainder of the season's basketball games in Robinson gymnasium.
"The day before the Kansas State game here the squad could not get into Hoch to shoot baskets due to an orchestra practice". Dr. Allen com-
"Our team plays all their games on semi-foreign or foreign courts." Dr. Forrest C. Allen, head basketball coach, said today.

Impetus for the move originated
with players remarking after the
Missouri game at Columbia two
weeks ago that they played better
away from home.
A further inadequacy of Hoch auditorium is the fact that there are no shower or dressing rooms in the building.
lmented
Dr. Allen said the cooperation of Henry Shenk, professor of physical education, in attempting to arrange a suitable practice schedule has been splendid.
The players have to walk from Robinson gymnasium where they dress and shower to Hoch auditorium thus exposing them to inclement weather.
Several members of the squid remarked that they would rather play away from home than play in Hoch auditorium.
The floor is concrete-based and the baskets are differently supported than are most.
Albert H. Werner Named Line Coach
Many players have suffered shin blints and sprained ankles due to the floor.
Albert H. "Pop" Werner, line coach with the merged New York-Brooklyn professional football club of the All-American conference, was named to that post at Kansas here Friday by Athletic Director E. C. Quigley.
Many New Bills Expected Todav
A former all-Southern guard at Duke in 1930,1931,and 1932,the 40-
Topeka, Feb. 25—(U.P.)A flood of new proposals was expected today in the Kansas legislature, on the last day for introduction of individually sponsored bills.
The deadline, usually a milestone placing final adjournment about a month off, will leave both chambers free to consider more important state legislation now in committees. The individual measures generally deal with local problems.
In anticipation of the last day rush, members of the house Thursday poured 29 bills and two resolutions into the hopper. It was their biggest spree to date in this session.
Most important act in the house Thursday, however, was passage of an act revising state unemployment compensation laws. That measure today went to Gov. Frank Carlson for his signature.
It would cut employers' compensation taxes in half and raise benefit payments from a top of $18 a week to $25. Should the state's unemployment compensation fund shrink to 50 million dollars, the taxes automatically revert to their present rate.
The state now has 62 million dollars in the compensation fund.
The senate prepared for today's expected flood of new bills by approving a $17.50 appropriation to its own budget Thursday.
The minor fund request, for a silver water tray used in the ways and means committee room, touched off a general debate concerning the senate household budget.
It took 30-minutes discussion of the amount of soap, milk buckets, typewriter erasers, lead pencils, rubber bands and rubber stamps on the senate's equipment inventory to pass the $17.50 appropriation.
Miss Marilyn Cotlow, coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company, has the role of Rosina in the comic opera, "The Barber of Seville," which is to be presented here Monday, March 7. Miss Cotlow won the Metropolitan Auditions of the Air the past year. She made her debut at the age of 18.
The appointment has been approved by the Kansas State Board of Regents.

L.S.U.
Werner is expected to report here to K.U. by Tuesday, March 1. Jayhawker spring drills will open 20 days later. Werner is married and has three children, a boy 10, and four-month old twins. The family now lives in Levittown, N.Y.
Selection of the new aide, completes KU's grid staff which includes Head Coach J. V. Sikes, Cliff Kimsey, backfield coach; Mike Geto, assistant coach; Wayne Replogle, varsity end coach; Don Fambrough, head freshman coach; and Red Hogan, assistant freshman coach.
In announcing the appointment Quigley said:
"We are highly pleased to be able to secure Coach Werner for our football staff. He owns a fine background of experience and we feel that he will fit into our program perfectly."
Sikes obviously was quite happy with the landing of his new lieutenant.
"We have worked hard and canvassed the field thoroughly in an effort to secure an experienced and highly-regarded man," he said. "We now have such in Coach Werner. We have been fortunate in obtaining him and we feel that he is going to add much to our program."
Werner moves in from the pros after a lengthy hutch under Carl Voyles. He joined the latter as line coach in 1939 at William and Mary, building one of the nation's better lines as the Indians prospered for three years. After a hitch in the United States Naval reserves in World War II, he rejoined Voyles at Auburn for the 1946 and 1947 seasons moving to Brooklyn last year.
He served as line coach at Richmond during 1916 spring practice, before moving to Auburn. His first college job was at Morris-Harvey, Charleston, W. Va., as line tutor and head basketball coach in 1937 and 1938-39.
The school's football teams lost only 3 games in 17 during that period while the basketball clubs were cleaning up 37 of 42 starts.
His first coaching job was at Cary High school, Cary, N.C., where he was head man in both football and baseball during the 1933-1934 school year. He then served a three-year stint as director of athletics, head football, basketball, boxing and wrestling coach at Thomasville High school, Thomasville, N.C. He also managed the Thomasville baseball club during that period.
He graduated from Duke in electrical engineering in 1933, after taking a year of post-graduate work at Kiski Prep school, Saltsburg, Pa., in 1928-29. He graduated from Kiski, where he played football and baseball, in the spring of '28.
Werner was a lieutenant in the Naval reserve serving in the physical and military division for aviators and combat air crewmen in Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Guam and Saipan.
