Topeka Alumnus Accuses Faurot Of Getting Even
BY UNITED PRESS
A prominent K,U. alumnus charged today that the new interpretation of Big Seven eligibility rules is a result of "Don Faurot's animosity."
Henry Bubb of Topeka, member of the K U. athletic council, selected Mr. Faurot as his target. He said the University of Missouri athletic director and head football coach "wants to take advantage of Big Seven veterans simply to get even with Kansas for the Lee's Summit incident."
He was referring to the incident two years ago in which Kansas obtained the football services of Forrest Griffith of Lee's Summit, Mo.
There was rumor around the hill that some Kansans would prefer to play men who would be ineligible under the new ruling and let the conference do what it pleased.
Chancellor Deane W. Malot, who started the ball rolling Monday with an indignant letter to other school heads asking for their reaction to the new interpretation, limited his remarks today to three paragraphs:
"I recognize the right of the faculty representatives to change the laws of the conference, but I am opposed to this retroactive action against a group with whom we had an understanding on eligibility.
"I have no interest or concern where this started. I'm concerned only with the relationship of this University in living up to its commitments to the students.
"I have taken up this matter with the other institutions of the conference. Now I am awaiting replies to that communication. Future action will depend on the information contained in the replies to my letters."
The move to interpret the old rule as limiting collegiate competition to four years above the high school level was started, it was reported, with the Missouri faculty representative.

Top single-engine students will get first priority in jet training probably P-80s, as part of the year's training.

200 Protest 4th Wedding
Two hundred students of the Westminster foundation sent a telegram to the 160th general assembly of the Presbyterian church Sunday protesting against the Presbyterian minister who performed the marriage of Lana Turner and Robert Topping.
William F. Perkins, moderator for the University Westminster foundation, drafted the request for discipline of the minister and sent it to the general assembly which begins Thursday in Seattle, Wash.
The students condemned the minister for performing the fourth marriage of two divorced people three days after the groom received his divorce decree. They also criticized the Hollywood movie lot setting in which the vows were taken.
The telegram requested the general assembly "to reprimand the ministers who disavow Presbyterian law and custom in performing marriage ceremonies; remind the church of its social responsibility in regard to the family and the home! and affirm its full Christian convictions concerning the sanctity of marriage vows and the stability of the home."

8 Houses Want Financial Advice
A budget of $5,319,228, approved by the state board of regents May 22 increased allowances $1,103,776. This includes appropriations for the University and auxiliary services such as health and dormitories, but does not include the Union and the athletic association.
Four faculty members received the rank of full professor. They are Robert M. Dreyer, associate professor of geology; Leland J. Pritchard, associate professor of economics; William Young, associate professor of anatomy and Philip O. Bell, associate professor of mathematics.
In a poll conducted by the University Daily Kansan Monday, 29 out of 35 fraternities and sororites interviewed said they had never heard of the plan for a financial adviser until they read about it May 21.
Eight assistant professors were promoted to associate professors. They are J. Sheldon Carey, design; Max Dresden, physics; Fred Kurata, chemical engineering; Helen Lohr, home economics; Russell C. Mills, biochemistry; Arthur N. Paul, mechanical engineering; and M. Carl Slough, law.
Eleven of the Greek organizations did not know enough about the plan to comment on it. Sixteen others were not in favor of the plan. Eight of them are University plans for a financial adviser for the fraternities and sororites.
Promoted to assistant professor from instructor were Gerald Davis, architecture; Milton Horowitz, psychology; Wiley Mitchell, economics; Ivan Nomecek, mechanical engineering; Loda Newcomb, secretarial training; David Robb, electrical engineering; and Keith Weltmer, economics.
Mr. Trevillo said that in a conversation with a University administrator May 20, the administrator told him a plan was quietly being set up for a financial adviser to the fraternities and sororites. He also stated that the plan might lead to collective buying and University control of Greek finances.
Laurence C. Woodruff, dean of men, stated May 22 that the presidents of the Greek organizations had been consulted about the plan and that it was purely voluntary whether or not the organizations participate. The statement was issued in reply to a speech made May 20 by J. Alden Trovillo, industrial adviser to the Wichita Chamber of Commerce, to the members of the Society for the Advancement of Management.
Alpha. sororities.
The eight organizations who favored the idea would go along with the university if the "advice" remained "innocent," and did not become mandatory.
The two appointments were both to the geology department. Dr. H.A. Ireland, director of geologic research for the Standard Oil company of Texas will become a professor of geology. A. G. Fischer will become an instructor. He is now at the University of Rochester. Both appointments will be effective in September.
Several of the organizations believed the plan might be all right for other organizations but not for themselves. The majority of the organizations who were opposed alienated them. Other organizations such as an alumni organization or Fraternity Management incorporated.
Reasons varied for not approving of the plan for a financial adviser.
Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority said that the majority of the women in their house were not in favor of the plan.
Other fraternities and sororites who stated that either they or their president are not in favor of the plan are: Triangle, Alpha KappaLambda, Alpha Phi Alpha, PhiGamma Delta, Kappa Alpha Psi,Delta Tau Delta, Delta Upsilon,Phi Beta Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha, andPhi Chi,Alpha Chi Omega,Alpha Omicron Pi, Chi Omega,ThetaPi
Jack Frink, president of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said that they were "neutral" but did not plan to participate. He also stated that any attempt to make the advice compulsory would be fought by his fraternity.
Charles Lindbergh, treasurer of the Pi Kappa Alpha said, "I have never heard of the plan and to the best of my knowledge no one else in the fraternity has either. As we are working under Fraternity Management incorporated don't think the University could for myself." Speaking for myself, I think the University might get control of Greeks through this plan."
The eight fraternities and sororites who stated that they were in favor of the plan are: Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Pi Kappa fraternities; Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma Kappa, and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororites.
Alice Hobson, president of Sigma Kappa sorority, said, "The plan might be a good one. It might serve to equalize the different financial arrangements of the houses."
Edward Dallay, president of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity said that a plan for university like Fraternity Management incorporated would be a good idea.
Dr. Ireland will teach courses in petrography and sedimentation. He has worked with the United States Geological survey and the soil conservation service. He has taught at the University of Oklahoma and received his doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Chicago.
Mr. Fischer will teach courses in stratigraphy and elementary paleontology. Previously he has been employed by the Stanolind Oil and Gas company and the Florida Geological survey.
Other appointments are pending approval. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said that there would be a general reduction in number of instructors in departments of lower class levels. Any possible decrease will be counteracted by an increase in higher class levels, he said. This is because the majority of the veterans are enrolled in junior-senior classes.
