Student Editor Blames Alumni For Aggie Losses
Manhattan, Kan. — (UP) — The Kansas State College newspaper today blamed the sad football situation at the Aggie school on its alumni.
Jim Clinger, student sports editor of the Collegian, which loosed the broadside, declared the main fault at Kansas State was not with the team, coaches or the athletic department.
Kansas State has lost 25 straight games.
In his column, "Chalk-Talk," Cinger said that a letter was mailed to 10,000 graduates of the school last summer, asking for financial assistance for the athletic program.
He asserted the 10,000 letters produced a grand total of $350 or an average of 3 cents a letter.
If the graduates who received the letters sent a dollar each a month, Clinger said, Kansas State would have $120,000 a year to use in obtaining outstanding athletes.
"If the college education alumni received here at Kansas State hasn't been worth enough that they can spare just $1 a month, perhaps the college should correct the academic system before starting on an athletic program," he said.
"It's your baby, alumns," he con- cluded. "We've done all we can on 3 cents."
Bridge Finals To Be In April
Application blanks for the intercollegiate bridge tournament may be obtained at the Union Activities office in the Union.

A preliminary round will be played by mail in February. The 16 highest ranking pairs will play off the finals on April 23 and 24. The United States will divide into eight zones. Two pairs from each zone are to qualify.
Carl D. Gibson and Carl Nelson, University students, won the Big Six tournament last year.

Seeing Ahead, Phog Observes 62nd Birthday Anniversary
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, famous Kansas basketball coach, celebrates his 62nd birthday anniversary today.
As Dr. Allen starts his 38th year of top-flight coaching, and what he hopes to be his 30th complete year at Kansas, he has bright hopes for future teams.
He plans to "work harder this year® than ever before."
"I have a grand bunch of boys this year, a group of yearlings, and we are going to turn out a second edition of the 'Pony Express' teams," he said.
he said.
The original "Pony Express" was the 1940 and 1941 outfit which won two Big Six championships and went to the national finals once. Stars of that team were Howard Engleman and Phog's own son, Bob, both All-Americans.
"We may not finish on top this year, but Kansas fans won't be ashamed of our showing." Dr. Allen added. "This team will have the typical fighting spirit of the old-time Kansas squads."
Dr. Allen's teams have won 27 championships in his 37 years of coaching and have not finished lower than third in 18 years.
Dr. Allen leaves for Blackwell tonight to address the Rotary club there.
India's Political Situation Hopeless; Each Race Needs A State, Lecturer Says
The only solution to India's political situation would have been to divide the country into states according to races and have a central federated government, Deane Dickason, lecturer and travelogue photographer, told a University Daily Kansan reporter Monday.
Mr. Dickason lectured and presented his latest film, "There Is No Voice in Heah audi-49
Mr. Dickason lectured and pre-
India." Monday night in Hoch audi-
torium. He emphasized that he as-
sumed all expenses for making the trip and to avoid accusations of being "anybody's propagandist."
"The political situation today in India is honest," Mr. Dickason said. "With 24 different races, or cultures, each trying to be independent of the others it is no wonder that the country is so muddled." 'People Don't Care'
The Hindus, as the majority population in India, believe they should dictate the country's policies which provokes the Mohammadans, who have the second largest population, Dickason continued. Hindu politicians are noted for their "hard-headedness and obstinacy", Mr. Dickason said, and "refuse to accept any compromise that the other politicians suggest."
In his travels throughout India, Dickason encountered many villages which had never heard of Mohandas Candhi and didn't know they had a government. "They don't care who governs them as long as they eat," he said.
"the Hindus must clean up their
own problems before they can expect
to manage a country," he said.
Animals Take Food From People
"Cattle are revered as a symbolism of the Hindu religion. Rats and
When asked about Communist infiltration, Mr. Dickason only laughed. "There certainly is a movement on but they are meeting with no success," he said. "Communism will never succeed in India as the people believe in God, whom the Communists don't recognize."
"Education is only for a privileged few who are chosen by the Brahms, the priesthood and highest in the caste rank."
monkeys are also respected deities, and devour enough food each year to feed 40 million of the starving Indians.

NU To Sponsor Big Six Meeting
The University of Nebraska will sponsor a meeting of student leaders at Lincoln, November 29 and 30, to discuss racial discrimination in the Big Six.
All member schools have been invited to send representatives. Representatives are to be members of the Student council, the varsity letter club and the student newspaper of each school.
Harold Mozer, president of the Nebraska student council expressed the hope that they would be able to amend the Big Six ruling on participation of negroes in athletic events.
The meeting is to give student leaders an opportunity to work out a solution to the issue before the meeting of the Missouri Valley Athletic association, December 12 to 14.
