200 See Bermuda Clad Cheerleaders Seniors Retain Grid Crown
It was a grand and glorious day yesterday for the Seniors of '59, as they proved their football supremacy by defeating the juniors, 13-7, in the final game of the Senior Intramural Football Challenge round.
Approximately 200 screaming fans, led appropriately by cheerleaders representing the two competing classes, created an enthusiastic atmosphere seldom witnessed at KU intramural games.
And, for Beta Theta Pi fraternity, it was an especially outstanding day, as they swept four of six individual player honors to justify its victory in the intramural football hill championships one week ago.
On the third play of the game Larry Schwartz, Paola, tossed a looping 59-vard touchdown pass to senior end C. L. Foster, Kingsville, Tex. It looked like it might be a long afternoon for the white-shirted junior team.
Almost before everyone had found seats among fellow class members, the senior team created a minor uproar among the elder class' cheering section.
Junior Dick Endacott, Bartlesville, Okla., then hit Ken Welch, Prairie Village, with a 49-yard scoring pass and an extra point to Bob Henderson, Garden City, which enabled the juniors to pull ahead 7-6. This brought a rousing "I'm a
J-J-J-J-Junior, Up at Lawrence on the Kaw," from the well organized cheering section.
Knowing it was their last chance to prove their superiority, the seniors got set to give it the old college try in a "do or die" situation.
Schwartz connected for a 33-yard pass to Foster on the junior 12-yard line. A desperate try to stop the attack brought a roughing the passer penalty which moved the ball to the 1. Schwartz hit his favorite receiver, Foster, for the touchdown on the next play.
Larry McCully, Wichita, kicked the extra point, the seniors held for the final minute, and it was over.
Senior Calendar Queen, Susie Poppe, Kansas City, Kan., presented trophies to Foster, a Beta Theta Pi, and Bill Toalson, Dodge City, Phi Delta Theta, for their outstanding offensive and defensive play respectively for the senior team.
Schwartz, a Beta, and Pete Whitenight, Lawrence, Sigma Chi, received runner-up awards for outstanding offensive and defensive work.
A panel of local sports writers cited Endacott and Gary Remple, Plainville, both members of Beta Theta Pi, as outstanding junior team members. Susan Lowry, Aurora, Mo., senior, runner-up in the queen contest to Miss Poppe, presented the junior awards.

Faculty Pay Hike Included In Proposed KU Budget
KU plans to use $735,333 of the $12,757,994 requested for the 1959-60 school year to raise faculty salaries to equal the median salaries given at other state universities in this area.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said today that in spite of the 10 per cent salary increase granted by the 1957 legislature, KU is as far behind the other universities now as it was two years ago.
Mr. Nichols said additions to the faculty have been kept at a minimum so that the available money could be used for pay increases.
Salary increases proposed in the 1959-60 budget will be made on a merit basis. Recommendations for them are made jointly by the department head and his dean to the budget committee, Mr. Nichols said.
The deans, department heads, and the budget committee then determine the salary increases, which would run from 1 to 12.3 per cent of present salaries, he said.
K-State Sum $890,566
Kansas State College plans to use $890,566 of its budget for merit pay raises for the faculty. President James A. McCain said Thursday that K-State asked the legislature for $8,510,423 of the college's $13,-824,757 total budget for 1959-60.
A total of $9,150,367 will be askee for the University from the Kansas legislature by the Board of Regents, Mr. Nichols said. The complete operating budget for the year will be $12,757,994. Money above the amount requested from the legislature will come from student fees, earnings of University Extension, and grants to the University.
The legislative request for the 1959-60 school year represents an increase of about 10 per cent over the $8,246,497 received for the current year.
Ten Per Cent Increase
The increase also will be used for three new janitor positions for the new Business School building
Weather
Generally fair and cooler tomorrow. Expected low tonight in the 30's. Tomorrow's high 50 to 60.
and two full-time and several parttime graduate assistants for an expansion of the University's language training center.
Also included in the new budget will be $86,960 for utilities for the Business School building, supplies to cope with next year's expected enrollment increase, and additional costs for expanding the language training program.
Survey Gets $18.014
The Geological Survey will receive $18,014 of the money for salary raises, and $100,000 for general research.
Caril Fugate Sentenced to Life in Prison
Mr. Nichols said next year's budget includes only operating expenses. The current year's budget includes money for building repairs, installation of an elevator, and part of the cost of paving 15th Street from Naismith Road to Iowa Street.
LINCOLN, Neb. —(UPI) A District Court jury today convicted 15-year-old Caril Ann Fugate of first-degree murder and imposed a sentence of life imprisonment on the tiny eight-grader.
The seven men and five women on the jury reached their decision at 10:30 a.m., but it was not announced until 40 minutes later when judge Harry A. Spencer reconvened the District Court
Caril, who broke into hysterical sobbing upon hearing the sentence, asked "If they thought I was guilty, why didn't they give me the electric chair?"
She answered her own question by adding: "They couldn't give me the chair because they knew I wasn't guilty!"
The $9,150,367 requested from the Kansas legislature will be broken down in the following way:
Caril's grandmother told her: "Now, Caril, listen to me. As long as you got your life, you have hope and you have your God. You can't always understand God's ways."
Caril, her body shaking with sobs, was incoherent as she spoke briefly with her family.
She told the girl: "Caril, this will come out O.K." She insisted that some day information would be uncovered that will change the situation.
Salaries and wages, $7,220,735; other operating expenditures, $1,042,434; Geological Survey, $461-448; training of firemen, $10,500; instruction of peace officers, $5,250; mortuary science, $10,000, and general reserach, $400,000.
Two Professors Hope Annexes Razed Soon
Bv Don Culp
Two social science professors said in an interview yesterday the University's plan for a new social science building to replace Strong annexes is fine. But they prefer to wait and see if it ever comes about before they start cheering.
Their reluctance to celebrate has a 15-year background.
The first plans for replacing the annexes originated 15 years ago, soon after the Army turned over the annexes to the University.
"They are no good," said Harold Gould, instructor of sociology in referring to the annexes where he teaches.
Another faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "There is no real need for such conditions on any campus in a country that professes to be wealthy and forward.
"Teaching in the Strong Annexes can be carried on effectively but it
is a disgrace to the University of Kansas and the social science department," he continued.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy outlined a week ago a 15 million dollar building program for the next 10 years, which would include a badly needed new social science building to replace the annexes.
In presenting the new building plans the chancellor stated that the replacing of the annexes and other projects would have to wait at least until an addition to Watson Library and a building at the KU Medical Center were completed, since money has already been appropriated for plans of the two projects.
"We can get along fairly well in the annexes," said the anonymous faculty member. "Modern buildings are not necessary for an efficient university.
"Teaching could be done outdoors in market places if it was necessary, but in this country it is not necessary," he added.
