The 'Phog' Horn Sounds Off On Fieldhouse Issue
They didn't nickname him "Phog"
for nothing.
And he sounded the "Phog" horn again Tuesday, this time in a blast against the method of financing proposed for the new K.U. fieldhouse, which itself is merely a proposal (until materials become available).
"Phog," of course, is Dr. Forrest C. Allen, head basketball mentor coach of many champions, and outspoken critic of things he feels need criticising.
His target this time was the bond issue which was proposed to finance a new fieldhouse. (Chancellor Deane W. Malotty announced Monday that he has regent approval to investigate sites and financing of a new fieldhouse, despite the current scarcity of building materials.)
"Building such facilities is the business of the state." Dr. Allen said.
"Why should Kansas State get $750-600 for a fieldhouse, and we have to finance our own?"
The point, many observers agreed, was well taken.
From the University administrative offices, however, came some explanation.
KU. has put educational buildings higher than the fieldhouse on the priority list for state money. An educational building cannot be bonded; money for it must come from state funds. Bonding the fieldhouse was seen as a way of getting both it and the educational structures.
The controversy, if there is one,
probably won't affect many of the
students in K.U. now. They won't
be here long enough to see the end.
Peace Conference Rejects Russian Plan
Paris. (UP) The peace conference rejected today a demand by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov that it set a specific and early date for the withdrawal of all Anglo-American occupation forces from the Trieste area.
The conference was voting one by one on the 80 sections of the Italian treaty draft after the conclusion of general debate.
Early in the balloting the conference approved the big four compromise boundary line between Italy and Yugoslavia. Thus it ignored a Yugoslav threat to refuse to sign the Italian treaty unless certain frontier demands were met.
Present Poli Outbreak is Worst In Kansas History
Kansas City, Mo., (UP)—The 1946 poliolemia outbreak has been the worst in the histrion of either Kansas or Missouri, figures released in Tinka and Jefferson City revealed today.
In Kansas, latest Health department totals showed 763 cases for the year thus far, two more than were recorded in 1943.
Don Henry Co-op, New Men's House, Named For K.U. Spanish Civil War Casualty
Latest addition to University cooperative houses for men is the Don Henry Co-op. 721 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Massachusetts street over the Hixson studio.
Organized in July, the Co-op now has 11 members according to John Triplett, house president. Full capacity is 12 men, Triplett said, but the existing vacancy will soon be filled.
The house took its name from that of the University student killed in Spanish Civil War, Triplett explained.
Don Henry last attended the University in 1936 and 1937. He enlisted in Spain's Loyalist army in the closing stages of the Spanish Civil war. On Sept. 3, 1937, he was killed in action.
As a result of Henry's death, the University became a target for persons who charged that the youth was sent to Spain by "Communist organizations" at the University. Months of public and threats of an investigation of "subversive activities" on the campus failed to reveal enough evidence to support the charges.
Two speakers and the K.U.-Nebraska football agme are added attractions this year for the annual Kansas Editors day, Oct. 19. Elmer Beth, professor of journalism, said today.
When the state senate failed to approve a $7,500 appropriation bill designed to finance the investigation, the matter was dropped.
Editors Meet Oct.19 For Annual Program
"While a sudent a he University, Henry was closely associated with the Co-op movement." Triplett recalled, "that's why we chose the name."
The house has 10 rooms including a bath. Members are doing their own cooking at present.
None of the Co-op's members are freshmen because no provision was made for a housemother and the group had to accept older men, Triplett explained.
After registration the editors will hold an informal "wrangle" session in which common problems will be discussed.
Oscar Stauffer, owner of the Midwest newspaper chain, will tell his experiences in a recent tour of the British and American zones of Germany. Tom Yarbough, manager of the St. Louis bureau of the associated press and ace war correspondent who covered theaters of operation on both sides of the world, will speak also.
A plate lunch will be served for the editors and their wives in the ballroom of the Union building. A block of seats will be left for the editors at the Homecoming game.
Six women's nitramural volleyball games will be played tonight in Robinson gymnasium.

Special A.S.C. Meeting To Consider Election In Union Tonight
(continued from page one)
Strong hall, the council ruled. Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, suggested that students smoking in the vestibule of Frank Storong hall be told that such action is against the smoking regulations.
The finance committee reported a balance of $1,700 in the council treasury. (Council income is derived from the sale of activity tickets, 10 cents per activity ticket for the fall semester and 35 cents for spring.)
Income for the coming year was estimated at $6,000. Five hundred dollars, the committee said, has been turned over to the K.U. Scholarship fund, leaving a balance of $1,200. Out of the treasury must be paid the deficit on the K book which amounted last year to $190 and is estimated this year as $565, the cost of the student directory, and appropriations to various organizations, such as the Forum board, Mortar board, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A.
No plans are being made for a card display at the homecoming football game but there would probably be a display at the games with Oklahoma A. and M. and the University of Oklahoma, the traditions committee reported.
Deane Postlethwaite, chancellor of Quill club, asked the council to authorize the reviving of the campus liberal magazine known as the "Dove" and later the "Gadfly." It would be open to all students, he said, and would confine its monthly pages to editorial comments. The question was referred to the publications committee.
The special committee on investigation of athletic victory celebrations suggested that the Union be thrown open after the game for dancing and gatherings, thrown open again all day Monday with a picnic and dance Monday night. No action was taken.
The Union operating committee reported that the contract for the proposed addition to the Union has been signed and approved for a cost of $97,943, but construction will be delayed until March by a steel scarcity.
The problem of check casking was brought up. The state will not allow the business office to cash checks unless the council make a $1,000 reposit with the business office as a guarantee. The book store was suggested as a possible place for the casing of checks. The matter went to the finance committee for further investigation.
Keith Congdon made a plea to the council for support of the World Student Service Fund drive tentatively scheduled for Nov. 4 to 9, and the council voted a full endorsement. Howard Engleman, president, appointed Shirley Wellborn, a member of the council, to serve on the W.S.-S.F. board.

Lawson Will Address Freshman Y.W.C.A.

The organizing committee was elected at a freshman Y.M.C.A. camp at Lone Star lake this summer. The men were chosen from a group of Hi-Y members who are attending the University for the first time this semester. They are Robert Thayer. Hardy Scheuerman, and Orin Wright.

Yugoslavs Pay $150,000 For Killing U.S. Fliers
Washington. (UP)—The state department revealed today that Yugoslavia has paid the United States $150,000 as indemnity for the lives of the five American aviators killed when their unarmed transport plane was shot down Aug. 19.
The Yugoslavs refused, however, to pay for the loss of this plane and another one which was shot down without casualties. The U.S. is still pressing for payment for the aircraft.
U. S. Ambassador Richard Patterson delivered a note to Yugoslavia Tuesday acknowledging receipt of the $150,000. He said this was "roughly" what the United States had asked for the lives of the aviators.
The state department said this government "could not accept the Yugoslav contention that the Yugoslav government has no responsibility for the loss of the unarmed transports shot down Aug. 9 and 19."
Consequently, it said, the United States "must ask the Yugoslav government to reconsider its refusal to make compensation for the loss of the two aircraft."
It was understood that this country is seeking about $200,000 as compensation for the loss of the two planes.
The state department said that in compliance with a request of the Yugoslav government, the $150,000 indemnity would be distributed equally among the families of the five fliers.
