Malott Says K.U. Is Following Provisions Of Big Six Conference
Taking issue with Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's statement Monday that "no definite policy had been set on Negro participation in sports," members of the Congress of Racial Equality told the University Daily Kansan today that a specific policy had been set by both Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Athletic Director E. C. Quigley last fall to conform with the
72 Seek Housing At Sunnyside
A limited number of vacancies will be available this summer. Sunnyside residents have been given permission to sublet their apartments for the summer.
Applications for apartments in Sunnyside are flooding the housing office, Irvin Youngberg, director of dormitories, said today.
Now there are 72 applications on file and forty-three of these applicants are full-time faculty members. Probably no students will be able to get an apartment until after the fall semester starts, Youngberg said.
The large number of applicants has caused the University to go back to its former system of priority in filling vacancies in the project. Faculty members will head the preferred list, with graduate assistants next and graduate and undergraduate students and their families third.
To Hold Contest At High School
A speech contest in honor of Mrs E. C. Buehler, wife of Prof. E. C Buehler, of the speech department will be given at Liberty Memorial High school where she taught until her death this year
the contest, starting at 10:10 a.m.
tomorrow, is sponsored by Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Calderwood and Miss
Margaret Habein of the University.
The contest is to promote speech
interest which Mr. Buehler helped
encourage. Professor Buehler will
judge the contest.
Any high school junior or senior may enter the contest. Prizes of $7.50, $5, and $2.50 will be awarded.
"When two Negroes went out for basketball practice last fall, the whole matter was taken to the Chancellor," said Frank Stannard, chairman of the C.O.R.E. "Chancellor Malott told Mr. Quigley, several representatives of the C.O.R.E., and the two Negroes who had reported for practice, that no person would be prevented from going out for athletics because of their color.
"By this time, however, the season was well underway, and Dr. Allen said he couldn't take any players who didn't know his fundamentals of the game. Several days later Allen added several football players to the squad who did not know his fundamentals."
Chancellor Malett said today that "the policy of the University of Kansas has been established. We are following the provisions of the Eig Six conference regarding athletic participation."

Judge Caniff Won't Overlook Them
Prof. W. W. Davis, faculty representative to the Big Six legislative body, said the conference rule is that any Negro can participate in a game with any member school of the Big Six unless rules of the state or the school where the game is being played prohibit Negroes.
Dr. Allen's office said today that he not beached for further comment.
Paul Sims, College junior, said when he and Cecil Browder, both Negro students, had gone out for basketball in the fall. Dr. Allen suggested they try out for the track squad as that didn't require as much body contact as basketball, and told them that he wanted the precedent started somewhere else.
WHEN CARTOONIST MILTON CANIFF selects the 1947 Jayhawker beauty queens, these two lasses hope to occupy the royal throne. One on the left is Corrine Temple, College freshman from Wichita, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. On the right is Elizabeth Berry, also a Kappa Kappa Gamma, from Kansas City.
When Browder went out for spring basketball practice, Sims said Dr. Allen told Browder the practice was only for those men who had been on last winter's varsity. Sims said four players. T. A. Scott, Robert O'Brien, Bob Malott and Charles Moffett had gone out, and that they were not on the varsity.
After the two Negroes had been unable to go out for spring practice, Stannard said he and Browder had gone to Mr. Quigley asking for a definite policy. Stannard said Mr. Quigley told them he would confer with Dr. Allen before he issued my definite statement. A few days later, Mr. Quigley told the group he had "checked up" and that Negroes would be allowed to go out for basketball next fall.
Joseph Brown, Fine Arts soothore,
also told the University Daily
Kansan that at baseball practice one
day he and David Brown, both Nero
players, had not been allowed
to practice because only members
that had been issued uniforms could
out. That same day, he said,
two white players who had not
been issued uniforms were allowed
to practice with the teams.
Members of the C.O.R.E, who were not allowed to purchase tickets at a local skating rink last week, were old Monday by Lee Dyer, manager of the rink, that the rink managers association had been unable to meet and he could give them no definite decision.
Funeral services for Miss Hannah Oliver, the University's oldest graduate, will be held at 2:30 p.m. toorrow in the Methodist church, instead of 3:00 p.m., as announced in the Daily Kansan Monday.
Correction
UNESCO Skips Main Problems, Kollmorgen Says
UNESCO is no "red hot" agency for world peace, thinks Walter Kollmorgen, associate professor of geology, after attending the recent UNESCO conference in Denver.
Professor Kollmorgen attended some of the forums for farmers.
He told about the student from Oklahoma A & M who said after the conference, "I didn't know the difference between UNESCO and NABISCO when I came and I'm not sure I do now."
"Then they resolved to go home
and start a party.
Line 2: flick them about,UNESCO
Professor Kollmorgen said that much of the conference seemed to be a group of well-meaning people passing resolutions they knew nothing about.
"They seemed to be afraid to face any controversial questions," he said. "They steered clear of such problems as tariffs and trade restrictions. Instead of spending some time on such a basic matter as international trade, they decided that a world language should be adopted.
"People like slogans," he added. "They would rather make high sounding resolutions than face such sore spots as minority discriminations in our own country.
"We need more actual association with other peoples than mere reading about them. I'm doubtful as to how much meaning words carry."
The Modern Choir, directed by Haworth White, will present a concert at the Winter General hospital in Topeka tonight.

All numbers are arranged by William Sapp.
