- Trails Opponent Until the Last Lap, Then Spurs To Take Lead; Was Fifth Faccy Milc
Boston, Jan. 29. — (UP) — Glenn Cunningham made his first indoor mile start of the season with a victory over Blaine Rideout of Texas Teachers' College and in the Francis Facey mace at the 18th annual Knight's of Columbus race before 13,000 fans.
The Kansan, who holds the world's indoor mark of 4:044, was content to trail until the last lap. Then Cunningham, running in his fifth consecutive Facey mile, started a typical spurt.
Cunningham's time of 4:13.2 was comparatively slow as he has run the mile in 4:10 on the same track.
K-State Union Plan Not Legal
The proposed plan for financing a student union building at Kansas State College by the assessment of students was ruled unconstitutional yesterday by Attorney General Jay S. Parker.
Students at the college voted last spring, 2130 to 676, in favor of the plan by which each student would be assessed not more than $5 a semester in order to raise the money necessary for the construction of the building. Parker advised President F. D. Farrell of the college that the proposal would not stand a court test. If the attorney general's decision had been in favor of the plan, a bill to authorize the bond issue would have been introduced into the state legislature.
President Farrell has suggested that as an alternative to the proposal a corporation be set up in order to issue bonds to finance the building. Such bonds would be paid out of a student fee.

ON THE SHIN
The senator shouldn't feel so flattered. The girls probably mistook him for a sister's professor.
One of the state senators who visited the Campus recently told Ed Abel, publisher of the Douglas County Republican, about dimmering at one of the sorority houses. The venerable gentleman said the fraternity had him so much fingered they never had seen a teen-men before.
A few days ago there appeared in this column a little item concerning the affairs of Pi Phi Betty Patton in which Ye Shinster predicted that "Country Boy" Cheatham would suit-suits Suitors Max Loud and Fred Lake. But late last week "County Boy" and Max spent a night together for a gently discussed of the situation.
The Sour Owl's next issue will be done in the manner of a pulp magazine, the main substances of which be "horror stories." Having published that book, she agrees with its editor that the mag should be put on a higher plane.
They invited Fred to join them and the next morning the triumvirate returned to a remote house to take her choice. The choice; Max Louch.
More chaff. The love-ship of Kappa Jean Egbert and Kappa Sig Jack Cogrowe is floundering on romantical shoal. Jeans didn't mind much when he forwent the next few weeks would be a book. But Sunday sun-down he studied at one Six Corners that wore a gray fur coat.

Kansas Players Start Work on Satire-Review
By Bill Fey, c'40
Theater-going students will be given a chance to view the University campus of 1965 when the Kansas Players start production of their review February 20. The satire comedy on the University's seventy-fifth anniversary will run four nights in Fraser theater.
The material for most of the costumes and a lot of the scenery had to be ordered from New York when it was learned that it couldn't be procured in the Middle West. Mrs. Allen Craft, in charge of costuming, has already been at her sewing machine for two weeks preparing costumes which she promises to be of true Broadway calibre. Although some of the costumes will have to be ordered from stagers, others will be prepared, most of the work is being done in her workshop in the loft of Fraser Hall. Costumes for the review will represent the dress of women from the 12th century to the present, as well as chorus dance ensembles.
22 Scenes in All
In 22 scenes the production will present a wide variety in stage pagement. For one thing, a scene of Massachusetts street is so real it's running when seen. One multiple set will carry the audience through the representative parors of five foreign cities and how love is made in other lands.
On the historical stage of Fraser will be seen Old North College of 1880, Mount Ourel in 1856, and the old saw mille where daring Dief saved his true love Tess from the whirring wind of a sulphide scheme of a Vilianous demon.
Kansan Editorial Staff Announced by Tye
The editorial staff of the Kansan for the first half of next semester was announced last night by John Randolph Tye, editor-in-chief.
New associate editors will be Roderick Burton, c40; Vincent Da-Beer, c36; Jon Signeer Mary Lou Randall, clunk, was named feature editor.
Phillips Fires On 'Red' Profs
Oklahoma City, Jan. 28. (UPI)—Leon Phillips, aggressive红-haired governor of Oklahoma today acquiesced professors in state colleges of teaching communistic doctrine in the method that they desired.
He said he had "positive proof that several faculty members at the University of Oklahoma A & M, the state school, had been teaching communistic principles in their classrooms.
The school of fine arts, the law school, and most of the other school of the University, including the dramatic department, will be the target for satire in fast shifting scenes on the stage.
"It is all right for anybody to believe in communism if he wants to" Phillips said, "but he can't be a communist and teach in our public school system. After all, tax payers money is being spent."
Dr. W. C. Bizzell, president of Oklahoma University said he would welcome a "thorough investigation" of Phillips' accusations. In a prepared statement, Bizzell asserted that Phillips is entirely right in the statement attributed to him that faculty members in state supported schools have no right to propagate student with any alien theories."
Unusual Lighting Effects Used
A stage-building crew, headed by Prof Allen Crafton is spending every afternoon in building flats, painting, and sewing yards of curtain and backdrops. The 22 scenes for the review will require a stage crew of 10 which will be headed and directed by technician Don Dixon instructor in the speech department.
Well over 1,000 board feet of footing and about 240 yards of sateen and 900 yards of muslin will have been used in the set construction when they are completed. Batteries of spot lights from the bridge above the railing will illuminate the sides of the stage and the regular border lights will give lighting effects that Dixon promises never have been seen before.
The entire production staff of the review including the actors will be around 55 people. There will be some 40 thespians including the speaking parts, the chorus of dancers, and the singers. Rehearsals for the group will start the latter part of the week. Many of the leading

their predecessors. At the age of 71,
he died in poverty.
Damier, whose cartoons with the passing of time have achieved the status of art, began his career on a Partisan daily newspaper, Le Clurivart, about 1840. Within a period of twenty years his penetrating, surgical delineations of the parisian scene, its politics, its institutions, its common people, bourgeois and wealthy have gained for him the name "The Milchelangelo of Caricaturists," among many critics.

ansan Surveys Final Trouble of College Students
A five-man team representing the University may be entered in the intercollegiate telegraphic billiard tournament this year if the plans of the men's recreation room of the Memorial Union building are carried out. The tournament, conducted by wire, was started seven years ago through the efforts of Charles G. Peterson, famous trick shot, artist, who gave an exhibition here early this semester.
Last year, sixty-four colleges belonging to the College of College Unions entered teams in the contest. The University of Wisconsin won the three-cushion championship, while Cornell won the straight-rail tournament and the university of Florida emerged victorious in the pocket billard divisions.
A qualifying tournament to pick three teams of five members and three alternates will be held at 8 p.m. in the men's recreation room on the following dates: straight rail, Feb. 6, three cushion Feb. 15, and pocket billiards on Feb. 24. The innings will be held on Feb. 3, the three cushion Feb. 23 and the pocket billiard meet March 9.
The tournament consists of a number of pre-arranged key shots to be played. Each player attempts to count points for each shot and continues to play until he misses or has scored 10 points. Total scores of the team, as well as for each individual, are telegraphed to the tournament chairman so that team standings may be determined. The team will be contributed by Gene Tunney, Gar Wood and Nobel Kizer.
College billiard matches are nothing new. Harvard beat Yale in the first intercollegiate billiards match in 1890 — nine years before Princeton and Rutgers played the first intercollegiate game. However, low gate scores led to high discontinuance of the sport.
Culver-Stockton College is constructing a hotel on its campus.

Prof. Earl D. Hay of the School of Engineering, and head of the committee on arrangements for the air school here, said 127 students University already for the teen men over the state enrolled. Professor Hay expects that not more than 10 more men from the Campus will register.
About one-third of 58 candidates who have been examined for the government flying school have been disqualified already. Dr. R. J. Canutson, director of the University health service, said yesterday.
Defective vision has been the stumbling block for the biggest number of applicants, the head examiner explained, but ear trouble and being underweight has also kept a number from passing the tests.
Of the nearly 150 candidates taking the examinations, only 70 will be given the final tests under government supervision. Instructions have not been sent from Washington yet determining what measures will be taken if more than the specified 70 pass the local examinations.
Dr. L. S. Powell, Lawrence physician, has been appointed by the Civil Aeronautic Authority to conduct the advance examinations under the supervision of an inspector from Washington, but the dates for these examinations have not been announced
