'KU All The Way' Sparks Early Rally
By DICK BROWN And BOB HARTLEY
(Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
Thursday, March 21, 1957
It was "NCAA, KU all the way." Wednesday night as approximately 150 students began a scheduled rally 15 hours early.
An organized rally had been scheduled for 12:45 p.m. today, but with the help of six cheerleaders and enthusiastic students the basketball team got an early sendoff.
The rally began at the Granuda Theater when the cheerleaders took the stage with a "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" cheer after the first show. With a gathering crowd at their heels, the two carloads of cheerleaders left the theater at 9:45 p.m. Quickly the string of cars increased to 36.
The cars toured the campus, Massachusetts Street, and areas in between before traveling five abreast down Massachusetts Street. On their second tour of the street the students stopped, leaving the cars parked in the middle of the street.
After a few yells, the students charged up the street for a block in an all-out run. They returned panting and out of breath to their cars after a few more yells.
"Let's storm the dorms," someone yelled, and the group departed for North College Hall. At the freshman dorms the somewhat dwindled crowd of 100 snake-danced through the lobbies shouting, "Beat San Francisco."
"This is the best rally on the campus since the K-State game two years ago," said Cheerleader Vincent Bilotta, East Orange, N. J., senior.
A letter received today from Ron Bryant, chairman of the Kansas State College Student Council, said:
Rivals Laud Team
"The Student Council of Kansas State College, on behalf of the student body, wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate the KU basketball team for its fine performance at the recent NCAA Regional basketball tournament. It is really great to have a Kansas team representing the Big Seven.
"We want you to know that you have our sincere backing for the national tournament this weekend. Best of luck for your team. We will be pulling for you all the way!"

NCAA Final To Be Televised By 2 Stations
The final basketball game of the NCAA tournament at Kansas City, Mo., will be televised Saturday night by Channel 9, KMBC in Kansas City, Mo., and Channel 13, WIBW in Topeka, Bryce Cooke. Overland Park senior and co-chairman of the Jay Watchers, said Wednesday.
The Jay Watchers will help defray the expenses of televising from WIBW.
The final game will be televised regardless of whether KU plays in the finals or not. Friday night's games will not be televised.
"Our money will go into the telecast from channel 13 because most of the money we received from the last game came from the Channel 13 area," said Robert Reck, Wichita senior and co-chairman of the Jay Watchers.
The Jay Watchers are financially strong at the moment, Reck said. They have $3418 in the bank with $1766 to be paid out for televising of the KU-SMU game, plus from $100 to $150 other expenses, such as phone calls yet to be deducted.
Presidents Asked To Pep Meeting
Presidents of all student organizations at KU, particularly those of organized houses, are urged to attend a pep committee meeting at 9:30 tonight in the Kansas Room of the Student Union.
Jim Bickley, Kansas City, Mo. senior, head cheerleader, said there would be a discussion of proposals to honor KU's potential NCAA - championship basketball team.
a little damp but pleasant by the change. Since Kansas has the distinction of a quite variable climate, this condition is no doubt subject to rapid and drastic change.
A smaller group has been preparing plans, "but there is considerable variation in the types of proposals and we want to go ahead with what the students themselves think should be done,' Bickley said.

An Editorial Survival Of Richest
If a bill now before the state Legislature becomes law, students may have to pay up to $25 for parking violations on the campus.
The bill would give the University, through the Board of Regents, authority to assess these fines.
Though without statutory right to do so, the Student Court now hears all cases of appealed traffic tickets unless issued by the Lawrence police.
The bill would eliminate the Student Court, and traffic violators "shall be subject to prosecution in the police court of the city, and summonses may be issued by the city for such violations."
In effect this means that all student traffic violators would have to appear in the Lawrence police court, instead of merely paying fines at the Business Office or appealing them to the Student Court.
The bill further provides for the placing of a lien on the automobile of an owner who fails to pay a traffic fine. This means that the auto could be held until the fine was paid.
The Legislature must be given credit for wanting to correct the situation. Until now there has been no legal basis for collecting fines.
However, we feel that the bill is too stringent.
Further, traffic violators on the campus would be guilty of a misdemeanor and "shall be punished by a fine of not more than $25."
Those students who find it a hardship to pay a $2 fine (the current rate) would find it almost impossible to pay a fine possibly 12 times as great.
And for failure to pay the fine, a student may lose the use of his automobile.
The Student Court, composed of law students, does a very good job of processing campus violations.
The Senate has passed the bill, and it conceivably could become law within a week with the okay of the House and the governor.
So why place student traffic violators at the mercy of the Lawrence police court which cannot be expected to sympathize with most students' financial plights?
It is felt that the interests of the students should be given more consideration before the bill becomes law.
The University should have the sole responsibility for the conduct of its students, but not through such an impersonal state law.

Docking's Travel Charge Answered By Chancellor
"I have complete confidence in Prof. Roofe," Dr. Franklin D. Murphy said Wednesday night after the anatomy department, headed by Paul G. Roofe, had been refused two travel requests by Gov. George Docking.
Gov. Docking charged the anatomy department with "inefficiency and msmagement." He also charged the KU administration with "lack of co-operation in reducing travel expenses."
The two requests were among seven which asked permission to attend the convention of the American Assn. of Anatomists April 17-19 in Baltimore. Gov. Docking approved the other five requests.
Gov. Docking's action came just before he released a statement of state travel for the month of January totaling $23,322.63.
He said the statement looked reasonable with the exception of KU's request for $5,177.93 and K-State's request for $5,093.20.
Formerly all travel requests received final approval from the Board of Regents but Gov. Docking now is checking such requests as part of his program of "viewing the situation in a fish bowl!"
This is the first time since he took office in January that he has refused' travel requests.
very long by locking yourself in a closet," Dr. Murphy said. "I presume the students want to be taught by the best qualified faculty members."
"The conventions allow us to make contacts for these funds," the faculty member continued.
Finances for the trip will come from three sources. Only 25.5 per cent of the expenses come from state funds. The remaining 74.5 per cent will come from U.S. grants and from foundations.
The results of research are very slow in coming out in print, a faculty member said. Faculty members must get these results at conventions and meetings if they are to know what is going on, he said.
"In any field you cannot keep up
The faculty must secure federal research funds available to universities. The competition for these funds is "terrific," however.
"We must make contacts if we are to stay in the running for federal research funds," he said.
